I trade seven with the gods

The city is rainy in September, with dark clouds pressing down on the city. The whole city presents a gloomy and dreary atmosphere. The sky becomes extremely dark, and the clouds are densely covered, like a thick black blanket that is about to cover the entire city.

Zhao Qi walked down the street in despair, his white sneakers stepping into the puddles, and the turbid water drops splashed onto his trousers.

For the first time in seventeen years, Zhao Qi felt that life was so dim.

slam-la-

The heavy rain came at any time, and in less than 10 minutes, the rain swept across the entire city like a curtain.

The buildings on both sides of the street looked more dull and deserted. Under the rain curtain, the dim light reflected from the windows revealed a feeling of loneliness and alienation.

Zhao Qi was walking alone in the heavy rain, seemingly unaware that it was raining. His bangs stuck tightly to his forehead, and he looked embarrassed and pitiful.

Snapped--

Suddenly an old beggar ran out of the alley next to him. He grabbed Zhao Qi's hand and pulled him under the eaves of an abandoned shop.

"hey-hey,"

The old beggar broke off half a piece of hard bread, handed it to Zhao Qi, and said with a playful smile:

"Little brat, did you have a quarrel with your family? From the way you are dressed, you should be a child of a wealthy family. You are living a good life, but you run out to get wet in the rain?"

Zhao Qi turned a deaf ear and stared at the heavy rain in a daze.

It was then that he noticed that the old beggar's right arm was empty and one arm was missing.

Zhao Qi felt pity, and at the same time realized his rudeness, so he refused the bread and said softly:

"Thank you."

The old beggar seemed to feel Zhao Qi's compassion. He broke off a piece of bread and muttered unwillingly:

"Old man, I don't need your pity. Don't think I'm a beggar. I live a more comfortable life than 99% of people... Three years ago, my arm was still good. I just met a dog dealer and took my arm. The arm was taken away..."

Hearing this, Zhao Qi's heart trembled, and he slowly lowered his head.

"In order to cure his son, that dog merchant," the old beggar continued, "experimented with the beggar's blood, damn it!!!"

Zhao Qi's pupils shrank,

He hurriedly asked:

"What is the name of the businessman you mentioned, and what disease does his son have?"

……

The rainstorm comes and goes quickly. After a while, the sky clears and the sun finally comes out. The warm sunshine shines on the wet ground, reflecting mottled light and shadow.

Zhao Qi returned to his villa,

As he expected, his father Zhao Xingzhou, who was usually very busy, had been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing Zhao Qi's wet look, Zhao Xingzhou was silent for a moment, but after all, he still didn't mention what happened just now.

"Go change into new clothes,"

Zhao Xingzhou said lukewarmly.

"dad--"

Zhao Qi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Stop taking those medicines, and stop hurting those innocent people. I know my body very well. Even if I don't take that medicine, I will be fine... You can't die from asthma. people."

Swah——

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhao Xingzhou stood up suddenly and slammed the coffee cup in his hand to the ground. The anger in his eyes seemed to turn into a substantial flame:

"Who told you these messy things? Shut up, I'll take it. You don't have to worry about the rest... Have you taken your medicine today?"

As he said that, Zhao Xingzhou's face was as gloomy as water, and he walked over step by step.

"Now, give me the medicine right away in front of me."

Looking at his father's stern eyes, Zhao Qi remained silent.

A few seconds later, Zhao Qi took out the bottle of red pills from his arms, took out one and gently put it into his mouth.

Seeing that his son took the medicine obediently, Zhao Xingzhou's expression softened slightly, but he still said with a slight threat:

"Starting from today, I will supervise you. You will record a video and send it to me every day when you take medicine... You don't need to worry about what I am doing. Just be your rich second generation!" "

……

since that day,

Zhao Qi began to resist his father. It was hard for him to swallow when he thought that the medicine to treat his illness was obtained by hurting innocent people.

So, although he would record a video for his father while taking medicine every day, he replaced the red pill with another pill that was exactly the same.

However, Zhao Qi knew very well that although this could deceive him temporarily, it was not a long-term solution after all, and his ultimate goal was to stop his father from producing that kind of medicine.

……

In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived.

After no longer taking that medicine, Zhao Qi's cough became worse and worse every day.

However, he never coughed in front of his father. He used strong perseverance to act, and he lasted like this for more than half a month.

one day,

Zhao Qi saw the old beggar again on the street. This ragged old beggar was actually doing volunteer work for the disabled.

So, Zhao Qi walked over with great interest and started chatting with the old beggar.

Through conversation, Zhao Qi got to know the old beggar again.

What shocked him was that although this old beggar was impoverished, his moral character was like that of a saint. He adopted several homeless disabled teenagers and supported them by begging and doing odd jobs every day.

According to the old beggar, this is called "If you are poor, you can benefit the world; if you are rich, you can benefit the world."

The old beggar's motto:

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth,"

"Establish a destiny for the sake of the people,"

"Continuing the unique learning for the Holy Spirit,"

"Create peace for all generations."

……

Zhao Qi was shocked. Of course he knew that these were Zhang Zai's "Four Sentences on Hengqu", but when he said it from the old beggar's mouth, it was a shock... He was impressed by the old beggar's broad-mindedness.

From then on, he often exchanged classical literature with the old beggar.

He also confessed his true identity to the old beggar. He was the son of the evil businessman who caused him to break his arm.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the news, the old beggar was not angry at all.

He stroked Zhao Qi's hair kindly and said:

"Do you want to know how to make your father look back? The reason why your father is like this is all because of his love for you. This love makes him uneasy about you. He cannot accept that you have this disease."

"So, there is only one way to make him come back, that is, you become more and more successful, you become more and more perfect, and then prove to him that you don't need his excessive help. Even if you have this disease, you can still do it. Become something amazing.”

……

After listening to what the old beggar said,

Zhao Qi felt enlightened.

But he was extremely entangled because he knew that his father had committed a crime, and no matter what, he could not cover up his father's crime.

Since then,

Zhao Qi became more and more dedicated to helping others. At the end of October, for some reason, many of his classmates were hospitalized due to injuries. Zhao Qi asked for leave and went to the hospital to take care of them and serve them.

According to the old beggar, he was trying to atone for his father's sins. Only by desperately helping others can Zhao Qi feel a little less guilty.

……

One day in early November,

Zhao Qi was teaching the disabled children taken in by the old beggar when the old beggar came over with a leaflet.

The above is a world-class scientific innovation competition for middle school students. This competition is extremely valuable. As long as you get the ranking, you can become famous around the world.

"Go."

The old beggar patted Zhao Qi on the shoulder.

"Prove to your father that you don't need his excessive worries and can grow into a towering tree on your own!"
