My parents were taking the bus to the county town for a meeting, and an accident happened on the way.

A mentally ill villager suddenly had a seizure in the carriage and grabbed the driver's steering wheel...

The accident came too suddenly and unexpectedly. The bus rushed through the guardrail and fell into the cliff. No one survived.

This is a poor mountain valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides. They are trapped here for the so-called "responsibility" and will never be able to leave in the end...

I was 16 years old and my sister was 10 years old that year.

We, who originally had a happy family, suddenly became orphans without parents.

My sister huddled in my arms, confused about everything: "Brother, will we never see mom and dad again?"

I imitated my mother's favorite action and gently touched her head.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll always protect you..."

The village chief helped us contact my parents' family, and a person who claimed to be my father's sister came over and helped us deal with the funeral.

After it was over, she said she was willing to adopt my sister, but when she saw me, she looked embarrassed...

"Your name is Qinghe, right? Although auntie really wants to adopt both of you at the same time, my family is not well-off, so I can only adopt Bailu..."

My younger sister is very outstanding and her academic performance is always ranked first in the school, while I am just a troublemaker who always ranks at the bottom.

It's understandable that my aunt wants to adopt a better child.

"Can you promise to be good to Niu Niu?" I stared into her eyes.

She seemed to be shocked by my gaze, and was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Of course, after all, your father is my biological brother, just like you are Bai Lu's biological brother, how could I be bad to her!"

"I have never had a child, so I promise to treat Bai Lu as my own daughter."

I tried to find flaws on her face, but her expression was sincere, without a trace of disguise.

The village chief also advised, "Qinghe! I have investigated her identity and she is indeed your aunt. Now that your parents are in trouble, it is indeed a good idea to let Niuniu stay with them."

Although I can't bear to leave my sister, I also understand...what the village chief said makes sense.

I'm just a 16-year-old minor and there's no way I can take good care of my sister.

She needs a stable family, a pair of caring parents, and a good living environment...

My sister was standing nearby at the time. She was a smart girl and immediately understood our conversation.

"No, I don't want to be separated from my brother."

Her tears instantly flowed down and she hugged my arms tightly.

"Brother, mom and dad are gone, don't you want me anymore?"

"You said you would always protect me, why did you leave me to others?"

My eyes welled up and I held back my tears.

I'm a man, I can't cry!

"Aunt, I'll leave Niuniu to you from now on. She may not be used to it at first, so please be more tolerant of her..."

I ignored my sister's crying and just looked at my aunt.

Aunt nodded: "I know, I will take good care of Bai Lu, this poor child."

She left me her phone number and home address, and said that if I missed my sister in the future, I could visit her anytime.

I quietly put away her contact information and cruelly pushed my sister away.

Even though she called out to me heartbreakingly, I didn't turn back...

Sister, please forgive your brother!

When I have enough ability to protect you, I will come back to see you.

I gave all the compensation and pension from my parents to my sister. Although the money is temporarily kept by my aunt, I don't think she will treat my sister badly for the sake of the money.

Of course, I'm not that stupid.

After separating from my sister, I actually followed them secretly to the city where my aunt lived.

I secretly observed my aunt's family's attitude towards my sister. After discovering that she and her husband really loved my sister, I finally felt relieved.

After some time, I thought about finding a job in this city so that I could visit my sister from time to time.

But after thinking about it, I decided to leave here.

This county town is too small. If I want to become strong, I can only go to a bigger city.

I'm already 16 years old, not old enough to know nothing.

When my sister grows up, she will go to college, dress up, get married and have children...

Although her aunt's family loves her now, what about the future...

So I have to make money quickly, lots of money, to pay for her tuition, buy her nice clothes, and save up for her dowry...

I took my ID card and used the last two hundred yuan I had to buy a train ticket heading south.

After arriving in the big city, I felt for the first time how insignificant I was, and how deeply...helpless!

Because I was a minor, few companies were willing to hire me.

In addition, I only have a junior high school education, so I can't find any other job except being a waiter, security guard, or working in a factory.

But a nightclub recruitment caught my attention...

They were recruiting security guards and offering a direct salary of 8000 yuan, but the only requirement was that they had to be good at fighting.

I walked straight in for the interview and was nearly kicked out.

"Little brat, this is not a place for minors, go home now!"

The manager of the nightclub looked at me with disdain, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

I quickly said, "I'm a good fighter, please give me a chance, I really need money now."

Perhaps out of teasing intent, the manager actually gave me a chance.

He randomly pointed at a tall security guard and said to me, "If you beat him, you can get the job."

At that moment, I saw hope, but soon I was met with despair.

Money is not easy to earn, especially for security guards who are paid 8000 yuan. The people they recruit are not ordinary people, but thugs.

I was pinned to the ground and beaten, and soon my face was covered in blood.

I stood up again and again...

I can't lose!

I'm still waiting to become successful and bring my sister back!

But the final result was that I fainted.

When I woke up, I was in the staff lounge of the nightclub.

The manager sat next to me and did not leave.

At this time, my face was bruised and swollen. I stood up silently and wanted to leave.

However, he suddenly said, "I'll arrange a dormitory for you tonight. You can pack up and start work tomorrow!"

I looked at him in shock: "Didn't I...lose?"

He laughed out loud and patted my shoulder meaningfully: "Although you lost, but the company is in need of people like you who don't care about your life."
