In 1990, Guixing County, Linzhou City, Jiangnan Province.

A big mountain is hundreds of miles in circumference, with strange peaks towering, steep and steep, flocks of birds, full of vitality.

This mountain is called Yangming Mountain, the main peak Yuexiu Peak, there is a view on the peak, it is rumored that an old Taoist in the Taoist temple asks divination and fortune telling is quite effective, and it attracts people from afar in the surrounding counties and cities often come from afar to ask for hexagrams and make wishes.

A small river seven or eight meters wide meanders through the mountain, the river is not deep, the river water is crystal clear, and occasionally you can see the small fish and shrimp at the bottom of the river playing happily.

A village on the shore is located near the mountains, and hundreds of families are scattered at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountainside.

It is rumored that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, in the middle of the dynasty - green @ color # small ¥ said & net - passed by leisurely, bringing a hint of coolness, making the hot summer day a little cooler, but it did not interrupt Ye Lingtian's thoughts.

After a long time, Ye Lingtian's face finally calmed down, and it seemed that he had made a final decision.

Standing up and looking up at the vast sky in the distance, his eyes revealed a firm gaze, and he slowly folded the admission letter of Yenching University that he had been looking forward to in his dream, and carefully put it in his trouser pocket.

In the east of the village, there are a few tiled houses, which are a little dilapidated due to disrepair, and the houses are slightly empty because they have no furniture.

Ye Lingtian pushed open the door and entered, and a middle-aged woman with a thin figure and gray hair was busy with her back to the door.

"Mom, the college entrance examination results are out, I'm sorry, I ...... I've disappointed you, I didn't get admitted to college!" Looking at his mother's haggard back, Ye Lingtian's heart couldn't help but feel sour, and his eyes were full of tears, half because he couldn't realize his dream, but more because of his mother who had supported the family with her thin shoulders in the past few years.

The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, put down the work at hand and slowly turned around, her brows furrowed, and there was a look of disbelief in her eyes: "Ling Tian, is it true? You have always had such excellent academic performance, how could you not be admitted?"

At this time, Ye Lingtian's face turned slightly red when he was asked by Yang Sulan, and he lied to his mother for the first time in eighteen years, which made Ye Lingtian's expression a little unnatural.

Not daring to look directly at his mother's puzzled gaze, Ye Lingtian lowered his head and looked at the ground, and said nonorantly: "Mom, it's true, I didn't play well in the exam." ”

For a moment, Yang Sulan obviously believed Ye Lingtian's words, and there was a faint hint of loss in her eyes.

However, this trace of loss was very short-lived, almost fleeting, and after a while, Yang Sulan's face was already back to normal.

Raising her hand to help Ye Lingtian wipe away the tears on her face, Yang Sulan comforted with concern: "Ling Tian, don't cry, it doesn't matter if you don't get in, can't you repeat it now?

Looking at his mother's concerned gaze, a warm current surged in Ye Lingtian's heart. Trying to suppress the desire in his heart, he said nervously: "Mom, I have already decided not to repeat my studies, I want to go out to work to earn money." ”
