Chapter 1

"Grandpa, Xiaotian is about to leave this place. Without you, I will never have any relatives anymore. Staying here has no meaning to me. Don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you when I have a future." In front of a new grave on the barren hillside, a thin figure knelt in front of the grave and knocked heavily after three times, wiped away the tears in the corners of his eyes, stood up firmly, turned around and walked towards a rugged mountain road leading to the distance.

This little boy who looks only ten years old and has a thin figure is Li Tian. He is a child who has lived in misfortune since childhood. His ancestors have been living in this poor mountain village in the mountains. The day he was born ten years ago became the death day of his biological mother. His mother was dying when she gave birth to him. Due to the lack of medical equipment, he passed away because he could not stop bleeding before he was born. Fortunately, the old woman who delivered him was experienced and decisively took a child with a caesarean section. When Li Tian was born, his face was blue, he did not cry, and he could hardly feel his heartbeat. Just when everyone, including his father, thought that Li Tian had no hope, Li Tian miraculously made the first cry in his life, and he came to this world with misfortune.

However, his misfortune was far from over. When he was three years old, his father, a typical mountain farmer who was hardworking and honest, fell into the valley on a rainy night and never came back.

He lost his parents at the age of three. In the eyes of very superstitious villagers, Li Tian became a disaster star that "destroys" his parents. His fear of him was like facing a flood and beast, and he was afraid of it. No family was willing to adopt this "disaster star". What's more, some people even proposed to throw him, who was only three years old, into the mountains and let him die.

At this time, the old village chief in his seventies stood up, and resisted the opposition, adopted the young Li Tian alone. Li Tian also had his relatives again, and the old village chief became his grandfather. The grandfather and grandson depended on each other. Although life was hard, they also felt very happy. The grandfather was the only knowledgeable person in the village. I heard that he had participated in the Red Army and fought against the Japanese devils. After the liberation, he became an officer. However, he was framed at the time of * and was discouraged. With the help of some old subordinates, he returned to his hometown in the deep mountains and ignored the world. Therefore, in the eyes of the villagers, the old village chief had a high prestige. Although Li Tian was rejected by the villagers, he did not take too much action for the sake of the old village chief.

Since Li Tian was four years old, the old village chief began to teach him how to read, and taught Li Tian a set of kung fu he learned from a martial arts master when he was young. He made a lot of contributions in the army through this set of kung fu, accumulating military merits, and becoming an officer step by step. Li Tian did not disappoint his grandfather. He seemed extremely intelligent since he was a child, and he could even be called a genius. Every time his grandfather taught, he could master the things he taught very quickly. What is even more commendable is that his patience and perseverance were far beyond the reach of people. By the age of eight, his grandfather had nothing to teach him, and that set of kung fu also met his grandfather's requirements through hard practice in recent years.

Happy times are always so short for Li Tian, ​​and family love is a luxury for a child who is only eight years old. When he was nine years old, his elderly grandfather fell ill. The young Li Tian took on the burden of the family and tried his best to take care of his increasingly sick grandfather, but he did not go through the winter of that year in the end.

Grandpa left, leaving him alone and helpless again. Without his grandfather's protection, the superstitious villagers became more ruthless and numb to him. Several old men and women even proposed to burn him to death, so as not to harm others in the future. He was so scared that he ran to the deep valley alone and hid and did not dare to go home.

"Child, you must walk out of this mountain. This place does not belong to you. The outside world is your world. Grandpa believes that you will have a great future. No matter how difficult or hard it is in the future, you cannot give up. You must be strong." Li Tian kept in mind what his grandfather said to him repeatedly when he was dying. Just last night, after the villagers all went to bed, Li Tian returned to his grandfather's house, packed up a few old clothes, and put them in bed.

After carrying the few dry foods left on his back, he finally found the tombs built by the villagers for his grandfather on the barren hillside of the back mountain. Due to the coldness of the villagers, he did not dare to enter the village when his grandfather was buried. However, before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to his grandfather. He wanted to walk out of the mountain as his grandfather told him before his death. After crying farewell to his grandfather for one night, Li Tian left again in the morning light that had just risen in the sky and left the small mountain village where he gave birth to him and raised him.

The mountain road of more than 200 kilometers is also a big test for adults, and for Li Tian, ​​who is only nine years old, it is full of hardships and fears. Fortunately, the poor children are already in their homes, and Li Tian is much more mature than ordinary children. Because of long-term practice of martial arts, he has developed a good body. Although he is very thin and small due to malnutrition, he is very strong and has strength and endurance. After sleeping in the open for five days, Li Tian finally walked out of the mountains and walked to a small town.

It was not big, but it had something that surprised Li Tian. Here he saw the car that his grandfather called him for the first time, a monster made of iron, with four wheels, but could run fast without a cow and horse. He also saw electric lights, which was much brighter than the oil lamp used in the village. What surprised him the most was the TV. How could there be so many things in a small box? Everything here seemed so mysterious to this child living in the deep mountains.

Li Tian, ​​who was helpless and young, lived a life of wandering and begging in the town, and gradually got used to all kinds of things he had never known before. Two months after arriving in the town, he finally sneaked onto a truck from another place and was taken to L City, G Province, in southern China by the truck. In this big city in the south, Li Tian continued his wandering life. He worked as a beggar and a thief. He was almost caught by human traffickers several times. Fortunately, he was smart and very agile. He successfully escaped every time and wandered between the station and docks all day long.

Zhao Qingguo was very happy. For a former top student from Beijing Sports University, who was the second leader of the L City Sports School in his early thirties, today is a very important day in his life, so he specially booked a seat at the "Overseas Chinese Hotel" and prepared to have his family to celebrate together.

Zhao Qingguo, 36, has been smooth sailing since he graduated from Beijing Sports University twelve years ago. He first entered the L City Sports School as a young coach, and then entered the wedding hall with Zhou Ling, who has the flowers of the First People's Hospital of L City. The next year, Zhou Ling gave birth to a lovely daughter for him. Four years ago, because of his outstanding performance, he was appointed as the vice principal of the L City Sports School by the L City Sports Committee, focusing on the training of young players.

City L City is a key sports city in G Province. It has selected many outstanding athletes for the national team over the years and has also played an important role in the country. City Sports School occupies a significant position in City Sports. It has climbed to the position of vice principal in its early thirties. I don’t know how many people envy it. However, in recent years, City Sports School has insufficient investment in the cultivation of young talents, poor results, and has also plummeted. Even in the competitions within Province of G Province, they are often trampled under the feet of City N.

In the four years since Zhao Qingguo took office, he has focused on reforms and seeking innovation and change to improve the teaching quality and training level of sports schools, and has improved a complete set of effective youth talent training systems. All these efforts have finally achieved results this year. With the outstanding performance of athletes at the just-concluded G Provincial Youth Sports Games, L City won the first place in the youth group and youth group with absolute advantages, making L City's sports return to the position of the leader in G Province, which really made Zhao Qingguo famous.

However, just today, Director Wu of the Municipal Sports Committee looked him over and not only handed over the 300,000 yuan he had decided to give him after the game, but also announced a decision that he was absolutely unexpected, that is, after discussion by all members of the Sports Committee, he decided to take over the position of the top leader of the Sports School in L City. This news immediately made Zhao Qingguo extremely excited. When he walked out of the Sports Committee compound, his heartbeat was still unable to calm down for a long time.

With both fame and fortune, Zhao Qingguo's most wanted to do now is to share the good news with his family, so he booked a banquet and drove to pick up his wife and daughter in person. The family happily celebrated. After a period of waiting, Zhao Qingguo finally received his wife who had finished work and his baby daughter Zhao Rong after school.

"Ah! Mom and Dad, look at a child here." The family came out of the hotel just after eating and drinking. The daughter running in front suddenly screamed and kept waving to the parents behind him, which scared the parents. She thought that something had happened to her precious daughter, so she hurried over.

"Qingguo, let's go over and take a look." Her mother, Zhou Ling, is the attending surgeon at the Municipal People's Hospital. Her good professional ethics and professional ethics of saving lives and helping the wounded made her pay attention to the thin figure who was lying by her.

The family walked closer and saw a little boy about eight or nine years old, with loose hair and torn clothes, foaming at the mouth and unconscious on the ground. This poor little boy was Li Tian who had been wandering in L City for nearly a year. Over the past year, he made a living by begging for a living. When he couldn't beg for money and stuff, he had to do some thieves to fill his stomach. Just yesterday, he had not begged for anything to fill his stomach during the whole day.

He was so hungry that he was so hungry that he was stealing a few breads from a bakery that he passed by, and was caught by the owner. He was a big and thick man, and he beat the thin Li Tian randomly. A young beggar was beaten so cruelly by an adult. The passers-by couldn't see them and went forward to dissuade them. Under the pressure of the masses, the owner was embarrassed to stop. Li Tian was finally able to drag his scarred body away.

Li Tian was injured on many sides and was unable to go out to beg for mobility. He was unable to go out to beg for the streets and could not help but go to the back door of the "Overseas Chinese Hotel" where garbage was piled up, and found some leftovers that had changed to fill his hunger. This time, he didn't eat for a long time and was hungry. After the injury, his physical condition decreased. He suddenly ate too much spoiled food. Soon, his whole body became hot and foamed, supporting him to walk out of the alley, and fell unconsciously on the side of the road, which happened to be seen by Zhao Rong.

"Not good! It's food poisoning, so you have to rescue it immediately." Zhou Ling, a doctor, saw Li Tian's symptoms and immediately came to a precise conclusion.

"Come on to the car and take him to the hospital right away." Under Zhou Ling's command, Zhao Qingguo quickly picked up Li Tian, ​​carefully placed it in the back seat of the car, and drove to the city's First People's Hospital.

In the Municipal People's Hospital, after the doctor gave Li Tian a gastric lavage and infusion treatment, his condition improved. However, when Zhao Rong and his family learned from the attending doctor that Li Tian was not only as simple as food poisoning, but also could clearly see the scars on their bodies, everyone felt sad and crying. It can be imagined how an eight or nine-year-old child survived alone in this extremely chaotic society.

"Dad, mom, is it okay for our family to take him in?" The little girl, who had already been sympathetic, asked with tears in her eyes and tears.

"What a pitiful child!" Zhou Ling also showed her maternal love, and cared for Li Tian's thin but strong face and said, "Qingguo! Let's adopt him. Look how pitiful he is. He is wandering outside alone at a young age. If we didn't find out this time, maybe he would never have the chance to see tomorrow morning again. Besides, you and I are very busy at work and don't have time to accompany Rongrong. She often stays alone at home, so let him be a companion for Rongrong! What do you think?"
