Chapter 2: Rebirth

Opening his eyes from the haze, Shang Xin only felt weak, always felt that something was wrong with his body, and found that his limbs seemed to have become shorter, as if his whole body had shrunk, and his body was still wrapped in a layer of cloth, Shang Xin was completely stunned.

Where is this?

Shang Xin looked around and found himself in the cradle, what was going on, Shang Xin struggled to control his thoughts.

At this time, a couple came in the distance, it turned out to be his parents, Shang Xin tried to think, how could his parents come here, how could he become a baby, shouldn't he be dead, has he been dreaming, it is impossible that the feeling of death is so real, he must have died, what is going on?

"Ah Hai, look at the Workers' and Peasants' Bridge, there seems to be a baby. "It's a familiar voice, it's my mother's voice. Since Shang Xin quarreled with his father four years ago and ran away from home to drift alone in Song City, his mother's voice has not been heard for a long time.

"I'll go take a look......... Ah Hong is really a child, come and see that he is still a boy. The man shouted excitedly.

The woman hurriedly came and picked up Shang Xin on the ground, her eyes were full of joy, and she said with satisfaction: "Ah Hai, we have been married for 5 years, and we have never been able to conceive a child, this may be a gift from God, we must raise him well." ”

"What is Hong's number today?" the man asked suddenly.

"What's wrong with 11/4/89?" replied the woman, puzzled.

"Then today will be the child's birthday, we have a child so hard, in the future, he will be called Shang Xin, how about it?" the man touched Shang Xin's head and asked the woman.

"Okay, by the way, Ahai, why did you say that such a cute child was left here, will the child have any diseases, let's take him to the hospital for a check-up. With that, the woman hugged Shang Xin and pulled the man towards the hospital.

"Workers' and Peasants' Bridge, November 4, 89" Shang Xin is still savoring these two details of the conversation between the two. Slowly recalling the memories of the past, this date is undoubtedly the birthday on his ID card, and his parents will always jokingly mention that he picked it up from the Workers' and Peasants' Bridge. Shang Xin began to have an epiphany that maybe he was really an abandoned baby, and that was probably how his name and birthday came about.

While Shang Xin was thinking, the two couples had already carried him to Shunzhou County Children's Hospital. Shang Xin looked at the signboard of the hospital and the 89-year yellow calendar hanging in the hall, his mood couldn't be calm for a long time, he couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't believe his consciousness, but he couldn't help but believe his feelings, that kind of real to the extreme, he did reach 89 years, he also became a baby, and the bloody scenes in the TV series really happened to him.

"Doctor, how are our children?" the woman asked anxiously.

This is an old Chinese medicine doctor in pediatrics, he seems to have a bit of a superior appearance, holding his beard in one hand and Shang Xin's pulse in the other, and constantly looking at Shang Xin, and replied: "Health is quite healthy, but there is a dirty thing on your doll to hurt him, the old man has been practicing medicine for decades, all kinds of strange things are not uncommon, it is the first time to see such a fierce dirty thing on your doll, forgive the old man for his clumsy skills, the two of them may have a glimmer of life to foster this little doll to the god as soon as possible, otherwise they will definitely die." ”

After hearing this, the woman cried loudly, complaining that her life was miserable, she couldn't conceive a child after 5 years of marriage, and the child she finally picked up on the bridge was still not able to support her.

The man hugged the woman, took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of the woman's eyes, and said gently: "Don't cry Ah Hong, didn't the doctor say that there is still a glimmer of life, there is a Baogong Temple in Shangjia Village, my hometown, which enshrines many powerful Bodhisattvas, and the newborn children in the village will be fostered to one of the Bodhisattvas in the Baogong Temple, I was fostered to a Bodhisattva in the temple when I was a child, as long as I keep the body of a virgin boy and a girl, I will always be protected by the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva who adopted me left on the day we got married." We can take the child to the Baogong Temple to try, if it is accepted by the Bodhisattva, we will keep a closer eye on it, let the child remain a virgin, and the child should always be fine. ”

Hearing this, the woman seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw in the abyss, and hurriedly pulled the man to take Shang Xin to Baogong Temple in Shangjia Village.

At this time, Shang Xin finally understood why he was still a virgin in his thirties, why his parents would try their best to interfere every time he was interested in a girl or a girl who was a little interesting to him, and even beat the mandarin duck at any cost, and he understood why he hiccups immediately after having a relationship with the landlady. It turns out that all this is predestined in the dark, and my parents have been trying their best to protect themselves, if I don't return to this era, I'm afraid all this will always become an unknown secret.

The picture turned sharply, and Shang Hai and Zhao Hong (that is, Shang Xin's parents) had already arrived in front of the Baogong Temple in Shangjia Village, and at the moment when they were about to step into the temple gate. An old lady with a stiff back and an extremely ugly appearance stopped them, this old lady looked to be in her 90s, but her mental state seemed to be very good, she said slowly: "Two offspring, don't move forward, otherwise your little doll will really be more auspicious." ”

"Old woman, I am from Shangjia Village, I was also fostered to the Bodhisattva in the temple as a child when I was a child, I have seen you, you are the temple manager here, and now my son has something wrong with his body, I want to ask the powerful Bodhisattva in the temple to take refuge, please let us in." Shang Hai was very anxious, grabbed the old woman's hand tightly and pleaded.

"The descendants of the Shang family, my mother-in-law has been here for more than 90 years, and she has long been able to communicate with the gods in the temple, and can clearly sense the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the gods in the temple. The old woman gently retracted the hand she was holding and said lightly.

"Uh... Well... Belch... Yes... Yes... Yes...... Is our child really hopeless?" Zhao Hong cried in despair, tears rolling down her cheeks and dripping onto Shang Xin's face.

"Alas, the old woman didn't say that your doll is not saved" The old woman looked helpless, said angrily, and then continued to say to herself: "The ghost thing on your doll is not simple, it looks like a low-level ghost, but it can use this doll's body to release the power of the ghost king level, so that the powerful gods in the temple are restless, if this ghost thing becomes the climate and completely occupies the baby's body, I am afraid it will become a catastrophe in the world, alas!"

"Old woman, you mean that my child is still alive. Shang Hai was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

"There is salvation, there is salvation. The owner of the temple seemed to see something at first, and when the rest of the gods were restless, he quietly told me that he was willing to adopt the child, and let me take the child in alone. The old woman said kindly, and there seemed to be a smile on her shriveled face.

"Temple master, are you talking about Bao Gong Bodhisattva?" Shang Hai pondered and asked.

"Yes, Bao Gong Bodhisattva wants to adopt your child as a grandson, you give the child to me, Bao Gong Bodhisattva wants to contact this child alone. The old woman explained, and slowly stretched out her hand to take Shang Sin.

"Ah Hong, the child is saved, Bao Gong Bodhisattva is willing to adopt our child, great, great. Shang Hai said excitedly to his wife as he took Shang Xin from his wife's arms and handed him over to the old woman.

The old woman carried Shang Xin into the Bao Gong Palace, carried out a series of foster care ceremonies in the Bao Gong Palace, and hung a delicate and small amulet on Shang Xin's body, and fostered Shang Xin to Bao Gong Bodhisattva, and spoke in a language that Shang Xin did not understand at all, as if she was communicating with Bao Gong Bodhisattva.

Shang Xin looked around, everything in front of him was so familiar, he used to come to this temple on time every Spring Festival to worship Grandpa Bao. He had always thought that his parents were superstitious, but in just one day, he experienced death and rebirth, and the worldview he had painstakingly built up for more than 30 years was completely shattered on this day, and it seemed so vulnerable.

"Dead people can be reborn, what is so strange about these gods and ghosts, it is nothing more than that their previous world view is too narrow, like a frog living at the bottom of a well. Shang Xin thought quietly in the old woman's arms.

After a long time, the old woman came to the gate of the temple with Shang Xin in her arms, and the Shanghai couple were waiting anxiously, and saw the old woman come out and hurriedly greeted her. The old woman handed Shang Xin back to them, and repeatedly instructed: "The little doll is okay for the time being, the temple owner temporarily sealed the ghost thing with mana, but you must let the little doll keep the body of a child, otherwise the seal will become weaker, and the ghost thing will break the seal. The old woman's voice looked very tired, it should be that she had communicated with the gods for too long just now, and she had consumed too much vitality, Shang Xin speculated.

"Okay, we must be optimistic about this child, thank you old woman, thank you old woman. The two husbands and wives were very grateful, and they couldn't express their emotions at this time.

"Don't thank me, it's the mercy of the master of my temple, go back, take good care of this child, and remember what I just said. With that, the old woman turned around and walked towards the Buddhist hall in the temple.

So, Mr. and Mrs. Shang Hai happily went home with Shang Xin in their arms.........
