Chapter 14: Rebirth

g this, I gently pushed my birth mother away and turned to hold the woman''s hand, leaving with her.

“娘，你拿了这些钱赶紧回家，不要声张，我以后会想办法回来看你的，还有钱一定要留着点给自己，千万不能让父亲知道，不要担心我，我有办法，这是我们唯一的出路。”然后我就推开了自己的母亲，转过身来拉着妇人的手随着她离去。

I didn''t know where she would take me, but I wanted to follow her because I knew what would be waiting if I backed out now. My birth mother would soon pass away, and I would have no choice but to support the family with my frail body, becoming the backbone of the household. That dream was too bitter, too painful. I didn''t want to look back. I couldn''t even bear to glance behind me. Although the road ahead was unknown and dangerous, and the woman might even be a fraud, there was still a glimmer of hope she might bring me.

我不知道她会把我带到哪里，但是我只想跟着她走，因为我知道如果我后退，那么等待着我的将会是什么？母亲很快就会不久于人世，而我也很快不得不以弱小的身子和父亲一起撑起这个家，成为这个家的顶梁柱，那个梦太苦了，真的太苦了，我不想回头，我连回望也不能，前路虽然陌生，也可能有凶险，也有可能这个妇人是个骗子，但是始终都给了我一丝的希望。

The only way to get the tiger cub is to enter the tiger''s den.

不入虎穴，焉得虎子?
