Chapter 1 Two Babies Descend Together There is a vision in the sky
"Grandpa, open the door! Open the door! Hurry up and call the patriarch grandpa! The village chief's grandfather and Grandpa Bao are fighting, and if the fight is inextricable, they will die!" Let the patriarch's grandfather persuade him!"......
......
"Fat Dun, don't worry about it! Let them mess around! Patriarch Grandpa said that he is too old to care about their dog-eat-!"
Fat Dun is a little fat man, his big name is Gui Danxiao, a four-year-old baby, when he heard this sentence from the ancestral hall, he could only leave helplessly, and hurriedly ran back!
On the central street of the village, two elderly men in their sixties were tearing and wrestling, kicking up clouds of dust...... Both were silver-haired, one tall and thin, surnamed Li, and the other short and fat, surnamed Bao. The villagers watched layer after layer, and no one tried to dissuade them, because there was no one to dissuade them!
According to the plan, both the Bao family and the Li family can be assigned to a set of houses in the village, and for the two houses that are only free, the two families have discussed and decided to decide the ownership by drawing lots. However, after the drawing of lots and seeing the results, the Li family immediately repented and asked for a new way to distribute it, but the Bao family naturally disagreed! The two old men had a big temper, and they started to move without saying a few words!
It was getting dark. The two old men were unable to fight, and they both sat on the ground panting and coughing, their clothes were covered with dust, and their faces and hands were covered with blood. Then there are two women standing in the position of their old man and talking about the "big truth", in fact, they are spitting dirty words, scolding each other over and over again......
After dark, the Li family connected several families to win the victory through forceful means, and they drove all three members of the Bao family away and occupied the big mansion in the east of the village! The reason why the Li family was able to have the last laugh can be explained by the words of the little fat man Gui Danxiao -- the village chief's grandfather, the domineering grandfather!
The twentieth generation of the Tang Dynasty (except for Wu Zetian) is the last emperor Tang Zhaoxuan Emperor Li Xuan (zhu), who is the ninth son of Tang Zhaozong, and his biological mother is Empress Dowager, whose first name is Li Zuo. In the second year of Tang Tianyou, Zhu Quanzhong, the king of Liang, saw that the time had come to destroy the Tang Dynasty, and killed all the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has since perished. When Li Ji was forced to ascend the throne, he knew that he was a puppet emperor, and he would be killed by King Liang in the future, and he would be cut down and eradicated. In order to pass on the incense to his ancestors, Li Ji "secretly" pampered the palace maids around him, and secretly sent a pregnant person out of the palace in every possible way, and was guarded by a "bag" surnamed Zhongnu. The following year, the palace maid gave birth to a dragon son. Li Ji only learned the news on his 17th birthday, and was very relieved, and then drank the wine prepared by King Liang for himself, and drove away with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth. The king of Liang threw Li Tu's body into the wilderness and ordered the people to prohibit crying and mourning. Legend has it that a year later, the descendants of the Bao family picked up a few bones of Li and buried them on the cliff of Phoenix Ridge outside the city.
There is a small mountain village in the southern suburbs of Dongping City, Shaanxi Province, called Jingwa Village. The village is rustic and picturesque, backed by a magnificent mountain range called "Yuanru Mountain". Originally, there were only two clansmen in this village, one surnamed Li and the other surnamed Bao. Later, with the changes of the times, there were gradually other surnames in the village, such as Zhang, Gui, Fu, Xiao and so on.
It was one day in the spring of 1980, and there were two older young people in the village who wanted to marry at the same time, both of them were 39 years old, named Li Longzhen and Bao Shihao.
Li and Bao are extremely famous in Jingwa Village, they are the same age, each has two younger sisters, and as the only male in the family, they are doted on by their elders. They have been naughty and even rampant in the countryside since they were young, and they are good at being ambitious if they don't learn and don't know how to do it. The two spent their 18th birthday together, and when they drank all the stolen bottle of liquor, they suddenly made a decision together: to leave their hometown, go outside to the big city, and return to their hometown after mixing up the world, so that the people in the village are impressed. They said they would leave, but in the next 20 years, these two people were not alive or dead. The parents of the two could not be found, and they became anxious. The younger sisters of Li and Bao also married in other places during this period, and only the old couple were left in the family, which was very lonely and desolate. The two pairs of old people would go to the entrance of the village from time to time every day to look at it, which made people feel sad, and within a few years, the black hair of the old people was already covered with silver frost.
Just when the old people were desperate, the sons of their two families finally returned. It's all the way to food, and it's like nine deaths and a lifetime to come back. On that day, the scrawny Li Longzhen and Bao Shihao were crawling on the central street of the village, shouting loudly to their parents that their son had finally returned! The villagers all came out to see the excitement, and they looked at the appearance of these two boys, not to mention whether their careers were successful or not, and they did not even mix up the minimum of food and clothing. After the two parents confirmed that it was their son, they cried and grabbed the ground, with a handful of snot and tears with mixed feelings. Li and Bao are both generations of single heirlooms in the family, carrying the important mission of passing on the ancestry, and the parents are already a big surprise to see that their son is not dead, where can they still take care of the number and reprimand. After each took home, the big fish and big meat served them fiercely, and while revisiting the family relationship, they also talked about the bits and pieces of the experience in the past 20 years. Summing up the experiences of Li and Bao over the years, the two parents have come to the same conclusion: they are a mess, they are defeated, and they have achieved nothing! The most important thing is that they are almost 40 years old and have not yet started a family!
Arrange it! Hurry up and arrange! Find the two best matchmakers in the township, and immediately go to find a good daughter-in-law, remember to find a good yellow flower girl!
However, the inappropriate deeds of Li and Bao have already spread, and they are 39 years old and have not been married for a long time, not to mention the girls in this village, even the girls in the village are not willing. There are only two girls who are suitable, and the elders of the girl's family have no objection. Both of them are from the next village, one is a woman surnamed Zhang, 33 years old, beautiful, unmarried, dumb-mouthed, moderately ear-backed, and not good at farm work. The other is a woman surnamed Xiao, 27 years old, middle-to-bottom, unmarried, with a lame right foot, and making do with farm work.
In fact, after the two girls Zhang and Xiao learned about Li and Bao, the boss was unwilling, and their parents persuaded them: "Girl, our family's conditions are not good, and besides, you are not too young, and your sisters of the same age can play soy sauce. Get married, at least go to Li's (Bao) house and don't worry about food and clothing!" The two daughters are quite filial, so they agreed to their parents and promised to rely on their elders to decide.
Father Li and Father Bao sat together and muttered for a long time, for the sake of the eldest son, for the sake of hugging the grandson, they settled down: "Alas, it's just the two of them, after all, they are yellow flower girls, and they can give birth and raise them!" But the two girls have their own advantages and disadvantages, each with its own merits, which one is better to choose? Father Li and Father Bao sat together and struggled for a long time, and neither of them was very satisfied. In the end, the two of them came up with a solution that was not a way - to draw lots! Let God arrange it. Just do it, the Li family grabbed a lot with the word "Zhang" written on it, and the Bao family grabbed a lot with the word "逄" written on it.
The next day, the dowry was given, and the two matchmakers also had a tacit understanding, and the wedding day was set on the second day of the second lunar month three days later. Yes, good things come in pairs, and the two families do happy things together can be regarded as the brotherhood of Li and Bao, two half-baked buddies!
It just so happens that there are only two ready-made empty houses in the village, one at the east end of the village and the other at the west end of the village. Three years ago, the family went to other provinces to vote for distant relatives, and wrote a letter saying that they would not come back to live, and the house was sold to the village at a price of 12 yuan. The house at the west end of the village was originally a lonely old man, who had never started a family in his life, and died in his own house for three days before the people who visited the door found out, and everyone pooled money to send a funeral to the old man, and buried it, and the empty house returned to the village.
Both the Li family and the Bao family wanted a house in the east of the village, because from the perspective of feudal superstition, the house in the west of the village had a scientific name: Absolute House. The house of the house, as the name suggests, will cut off the incense when you live in it. For this reason, the Li and Bao families did not give in to each other, and on the streets of the village, from reasoning to scolding the ancestors to using their hands and feet, they were about to fight......
After arguing for a long time without results, the onlookers became bored and casually shouted: "Draw lots! Everyone has their own destiny." The Li family and the Bao family hesitated for a moment, and then agreed to this "extremely intelligent" proposal. Father Bao grabbed a "east" and cheered; Father Li grabbed a "west", his face changed suddenly, gloomy like water, and after thinking about it, he immediately swallowed the "lot" into his stomach alive, and he refused to admit it to death - my village elder just didn't agree, and no one could take me!
Then, two silver-haired old men in the armor fought a big fight! The scene of the head breaking and bleeding was quite scary, and the little fat man was a big ghost in Danxiaoren, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly went to the ancestral hall to find the old patriarch of more than 100 years old to relieve the siege......
Originally, the Li and Bao families were world friends, and the relationship was quite good, otherwise Li Longzhen and Bao Shihao would not have been able to urinate in a pot since childhood, although their fathers had competed for the village chief to become opponents, but this little contradiction was only temporary, and it was relieved when it passed. However, unfilial piety is great, this idea was still quite popular at the time, they are all generations of single seedlings, who wants to live in a desperate house!
There has always been a custom in Jingwa Village that the only male in the family must marry in a new house when he gets married, and cannot live with his parents, otherwise it will affect the continuation of the incense. The wedding date is nearly three days later, and it is too late to build a house immediately, the Li family has powerful and domineering methods, and the Bao family can only endure it with resentment. Li Longzhen lived in the east of the village, and Bao Shihao lived in the west of the village. Within two days, the two houses were completely renewed, full of red happy characters and big red paper everywhere......
On the second day of the second lunar month in 1980, Jingwa Village was really lively, and it was rare for two families in the village to hold a happy event at the same time. Of course, one family is happy with resentment and grievances, and the other is happy with laughter and a beautiful vision of four generations in the same house.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month in 1981, the joyful flavor of the New Year was still permeating. The Li and Bao families were very worried, because their daughter-in-law's big belly was getting more and more bulging, and she seemed to be about to give birth. Li Longzhen and Bao Shihao both want a son, and Li's father and Bao's father are also desperate for a grandson.
On the nineteenth day of the first lunar month in 1981, the sky was just dawning, and with the crowing of the rooster, the only two stable women in Jingwa Village successfully completed the delivery task, and almost left the main house at the same time. Wen Po from the west of the village came out a little earlier, holding a big one-yuan bill in her hand, and her eyebrows were overjoyed; Wen Po from the east of the village came out a little late, holding three cents of change in her hand, and wailing in her heart. Suddenly, firecrackers rang out in unison at the west end of the village, and gongs and drums were noisy! At the east end of the village, it was as calm as water, and the waves were not alarmed. After a while, firecrackers rang out in the east of the village, gongs and drums were noisy, and then I saw Lao Li Tou and Lao Baotou start fighting again......
It turned out that Bao's father had a grandson, and he worshiped the Bodhisattva in his heart and silently recited: "God opens his eyes, God opens his eyes!" Li's father had a granddaughter, and he scolded his mother in his heart and muttered: "God doesn't have long eyes, not long eyes!" A few days later, he was interested in naming the child - Li Youdi. In fact, feudal superstition is not credible at all, and the statement of a desperate house is already sparse, and the names such as "having a brother" and "recruiting a brother" cannot determine whether to give birth to a boy or a girl in the future. The actual situation is also strange, Li Longzhen continued to give birth to three more children one after another, all of them were girls, and their names were Laidi, Yindi, and Baodi. The Bao family responded to the national family planning policy, and Bao Zhiyang became one of the only children. Li's father's son was implicated, and he was forced to resign as the village head, and Bao's father replaced him. Of course, that's all for later!
Straight to the point.
Early in the morning on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month. Bao's father had a grandson, and the ideological pressure of the desperate house suddenly dissipated, and he excitedly sounded the whip to celebrate at the first time. Soon, he learned that the Li family had given birth to a daughter, and he suddenly felt a bad breath! In order to disgust and disgust Lao Litou, Bao's father went into battle, and the leader came to the east of the village with a drum, and shouted over and over again: "Old Li Tou, retribution! Retribution! This is the retribution for your treachery and bullying me, hahaha...... I have a grandson! I have a grandson!" Seeing that his daughter-in-law had given birth to a daughter, Li's father, who was already extremely depressed, heard the words of the old Baotou outside the wall, and immediately became angry, picked up a flat pole and rushed out. Not to be outdone, Father Bao took two short mallets for drumming, and did not hesitate to engage in martial arts with Lao Li Tou. One is an inch long and an inch strong, the other is short and concise, flexible and changeable, and the two of them are playing back and forth, and after a while, they are all colored. The villagers did not persuade them, a similar scene had just happened, and everyone was not surprised, and they all gathered around to taste the farce of the two old men. There are even people who haven't eaten breakfast with a bowl of steaming noodles, watching while eating, and there is a smile on their lips: "There is still a lively look at eating, it is really delicious!"
On the one hand, he was holding the mallet in high spirits, and on the other hand, he was waving the flat pole without confidence...... The farce is coming to an end. Suddenly, the demonic wind suddenly rose! In the middle of winter, lightning and thunder suddenly thundered in the quiet mountain village! The villagers tightened their coats and stared at the sky in confusion. After a while, goose feathers and snow fell from the sky, and the snowflakes faintly revealed a hint of crimson! The Yuanliu Mountain outside the village seemed to tremble, and with the loud sound of "clicking," a red glow was reflected on the highest peak of the mountain, and the red glow slowly changed its shape, and suddenly drew a pattern of a phoenix bathing in fire! The villagers were stunned and frightened by the scene in front of them, and the people of the older generation muttered one after another: "The old patriarch said that the highest place in Yuanliu Mountain is called Phoenix Ridge, and as long as there are bad people making trouble, a fire phoenix will appear there, and it will come out to do the way for the sky." This is the anger of the gods! This is the arrival of the gods!" Li and Bao both stopped fighting in unison, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts: "Could it be that I have gone too far?"
The strange scenes made everyone feel awe, and people suddenly fell silent. Suddenly, a woman's shout came from the east and west of the village almost at the same time: "Old man, come back quickly! Something has happened to my daughter-in-law!" When Li and Bao heard this, they hurried to their son's house. The villagers also rushed to their homes, for fear that something would be wrong at home.
As soon as I stepped through the gate, I heard the cry of the old woman. "What's the matter?!" "Old man, come in and see, my daughter-in-law is no longer good!" The daughter-in-law had just given birth, and it stands to reason that the old husband could not go into the back room to take a look, and he couldn't take care of it at this time! After probing his nose, he was already out of breath, and even rushing to the hospital for rescue was useless. The old man asked his son what happened, and the son said with red eyes: "After a strange noise on the mountain just now, my mother-in-law suddenly screamed that it hurt and hurt, and her stomach hurt, and then I saw my mother-in-law from the bottom of her body to her head constantly flashing red, and after a while, she was silent, as if she was going to die!"
The woman in the house gradually stopped crying. The family was stunned and silent, and only the loud cry of the baby in the kang head remained...... Thinking about the fact that the child was born without a mother, the old woman felt uncomfortable, and when she saw the blood marks on her old man's face, she shouted angrily: "It's all because of you! Thinking about competing with Lao Li (Bao) all day long, God can't stand it, isn't this just retribution, what a sin, a sin!"
"Dad, mother, take a look, what is this?!" said the son holding his mother-in-law's mother-in-law, and leaned into his mother-in-law's lower body. From the lower body of the deceased flowed out a small round mirror glowing with a red bright light, although it could reflect the image, but it was not the material of the mirror, like metal and jade, the size of a five-cent coin. Lao Li (Bao) stabilized his mood, took the small round mirror from his son's hand, it was a little hot, and took a closer look, except for the temperature slowly receding and the light gradually dissipated, there was no other special discovery. "Let's find a box to lock it up first, this thing is definitely not simple, no one is allowed to say it outside!" Li and Bao faced the same sudden strange thing, and the way they responded was highly consistent.
After the other villagers returned home, they found that there was no other abnormality in the house except for a thick layer of snow gathered in the yard, so they turned their attention to the Li and Bao families, and gradually learned that the daughters-in-law of the two families had just given birth to a baby and passed away.
The old patriarch also knew what happened that day. In the evening, he sent someone to find Lao Li Tou and Lao Baotou, and asked the two of them to take their son who had just become a father to the ancestral hall. Li and Bao were so worried that they carefully pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and moved into a small tiled house specially built in the courtyard. The four of them were in two rows in front of and behind, kneeling down. The hundred-year-old patriarch was lying on his side on the kang, looking at it fiercely, and he stopped talking. A quarter of an hour later, the old patriarch coughed dryly twice and said, "What a disaster you have made! At noon, I asked Danxiao and his grandfather to go to the back mountain to take a look at the Phoenix Ridge, and the tip of the good mountain was gone, as if it had been flattened all at once, and the size of three acres of land was as flat as the road! Not to mention, there was a large hole several hundred meters long in the middle of the plane, thirty or forty centimeters wide, and the black hole was hollow, and it was bottomless! This is the god who came to punish our village! In the time after Shi Hao and the two little rabbit cubs came back, the village was full of fun between the two of you, and the dog ate the dog and made the ground full of hair! The two old boys poked the urine jar like children, they really could make a fuss! God can't stand it, do you understand?!" The four people on the side of the kang were in a cold sweat, and quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we know that we are wrong!"
