forced to obey

No matter how other people tried to persuade him, Xu Sheng kept holding Mother Xu's hand and would not let go.

"Mom, Mom, don't leave me and Xiaolin behind." Xu Sheng cried so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. The sudden death of his parents made the 14-year-old panicked, as if he had been pushed into the middle of the road, at a loss. helpless.

After an unknown amount of time, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and someone called him softly, "Brother."

Xu Sheng turned his head slowly. Xu Lin arrived in the ward at some point. The expression on his face didn't seem to be much different from usual, but the tears and pale complexion on his face had already revealed his mood.

Xu Lin knelt beside him, looking at his mother who had already closed her eyes on the hospital bed, unable to speak a word.

Xu Sheng remembered what his mother had told him before he left. His younger brother was still in sixth grade, and his parents had left, leaving him and Xu Lin to depend on each other.

"Xiaolin, don't be afraid." Xu Sheng tried his best to stop crying, he is the eldest in the family now, he must take good care of his younger brother, "Brother is here."

Xu Lin lowered his head, his shoulders kept trembling, Xu Sheng hugged his thin shoulders distressedly, "Don't be afraid."

From this day on, the people in the compound discovered that Xu Sheng had matured overnight.

He changed his previous escapism and became calm.

Xu Sheng asked for a leave of absence from school, and endured grief to deal with his parents' funeral.

Both Xu's father and Xu's mother had very few relatives, and Xu Lin was at a critical moment in his junior year. Xu Sheng refused to let him ask for leave, and took everything on his shoulders to do by himself.

After the funeral, Xu Lin finished his junior high school exam, and fell into a coma at home that night.

Xu Sheng was so frightened that he didn't even bother to change his shoes, and ran out with Xu Lin on his back.

On the way, Xu Sheng's slippers ran away, so he went barefoot, stopped the car with Xu Lin on his back, and went to the hospital.

It was only after Xu Lin entered the emergency room that Xu Sheng realized the pain in his foot. The sole of his foot was scratched by glass, bleeding all the way.

The nurse asked Xu Sheng to bandage the wound, but Xu Sheng refused to leave, and kept guarding outside, biting his lower lip tightly.

He is afraid.

Xu Sheng could no longer bear the pain of any family members leaving.

Xu Sheng was anxious, and suddenly knelt down on the ground, clasped his hands together, and meditated in his heart, asking the Bodhisattva to bless his brother's health. He was willing to exchange everything he had, even his life.

Regardless of the strange eyes of others and the nurse's advice, Xu Sheng knelt on the ground until the door of the emergency room opened, and when he heard the doctor say that Xu Lin's life was not in danger, Xu Sheng collapsed on the ground.

Xu Lin got acute pneumonia and was hospitalized that day.

Xu Sheng's family and the hospital ran both ways, completely giving up on his studies.

Xu Lin lived in the hospital for nearly a month before being discharged from the hospital. When he returned home with Xu Sheng, he found that most of the furniture in the house was missing.

"Xiaolin, brother... there's nothing I can do about it." Xu Sheng felt ashamed.

After his parents had an accident last time, the driver who caused the accident fled, and no one has been caught so far. The Xu family has not received a penny of compensation.

Xu's father's unit issued a small pension, all of which were used for the funeral.

But this time Xu Lin fell ill and used up his small savings, so Xu Sheng had no choice but to sell some furniture to buy supplements for Xu Lin.

"I can concentrate on my studies without a TV, and we don't have many clothes, so we can just wash them by hand." Xu Lin comforted Xu Sheng in turn, "The refrigerator consumes a lot of power, and I don't like eating popsicles either."

"Yeah." Xu Sheng forced back his tears and patted Xu Lin's head, "Xiao Lin, brother will definitely not let you suffer in the future, and let you live a better life than others."
