Chapter 01: Babies and Old Ways
A hot summer. A mountain with no end in sight. There are several mountain villages in the depths of the mountains. The villagers were busy as usual. There is an old Chinese-style courtyard in the village, the yard is very large, there are rooms on all sides, it can be regarded as a courtyard house.
A thunderclap suddenly sounded in the clear sky! A purple light that no one had ever heard of or seen instantly hit the stomach of a woman who was about to give birth.
Bang! An old man is chopping wood in the yard. Beads of sweat on his forehead continued to slide down his cheeks, along the deepening wrinkles, over the yellow spots that had recorded the marks of time, and finally into the coarse undershirt. At this time, the undershirt was already half wet. The sudden thunder in the sky did not disturb the old man, who was still chopping wood in the yard.
"Old man, are you coming back?" came the old lady's voice from the room, slightly hoarse, mixed with a little anxiety.
"Come on, the time to speak should be near. The old man replied without raising his head.
At this time, there was a noise outside the door, and the obedient voice seemed to be the return of the children of the family. The old man looked up at the gate, and not long after, a middle-aged man walked in with a wooden cart. There was a middle-aged woman on the wooden raft with a newborn baby in her arms.
"Come back, get inside the house, it's windy outside!" the old man threw away the axe in his hand and wanted to go up to help, but he felt that his identity was really embarrassing when he saw his daughter-in-law holding the child. For a moment, he seemed a little at a loss.
"Eh, okay, Dad!" Chu Qi smiled happily at the old father. "Dad, you have a grandson, haha!"
"Good, good, good!" the old man said "yes" three times in a row, and he was very happy. Seeing Chu Qi help his wife and children into the house, the old man quickly took off the things on the wooden cart, and then followed into the house humming a small song.
The old lady in the house smiled and helped her daughter-in-law in, and then instructed Chu Qi to get the soft bedding that had been made earlier. The old grandfather stood aside and looked at his eldest grandson, Silly Le, and the smile on his face was really bright.
"This is my grandfather, this is my grandmother, this is my great mother. Uh, the big man who went out is my poop!" the child in the woman's arms had big eyes and rolled around. "Uh-huh, I've got to sell a cute. When you first arrive, you have to pay homage to the mountain!"
The little guy laughed, and the laughter made everyone in the house cute.
"Ouch, this little one!haha, my good grandson!" the old man smiled from ear to ear, and he was so excited that he wanted to hug the little one. The old lady didn't have too many scruples, she walked up to her daughter-in-law, picked up a little futon, reached out and touched the little guy's white and tender face.
"Huh, is grandma's skin so good? I thought her hands would be rough! Haha, when I grow up, I will make you take better care of it. The little one's eyes rolled for a long time, and finally found his father.
Chu Qi was very happy when he heard the little guy's laughter, he ran over quickly and reached out to hug the little guy. The old lady slapped Chu Qi's hand, and the latter scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Okay, let's have a good rest! Go back and boil some Chinese herbs to replenish your blood and qi!" the old lady happily patted the Chinese herbs on the table, and then pulled the old man away.
Chu Qi picked up the Chinese medicine and was about to decoction it, but was stopped by his daughter-in-law. "Don't worry about decocting medicine, I still have to breastfeed, how can a child drink Chinese medicine at such a young age?" I have to say that Chu Qi's daughter-in-law's voice is really good, it is simply a natural sound.
"Wow, it turns out that my mother is not only beautiful, but also has a beautiful voice. This honest dad must have accumulated eight lifetimes of virtue before he left such good luck. The little doll was very comfortable in Chu Qi's daughter-in-law's arms. "Wait! There seems to be something wrong with this smell?" Xiao Jia's nose shook a few times, and then he followed the smell to see the medicine bag in Chu Qi's hand.
Wow, wow, wow! The little guy sensed the source of the smell and was anxious. He instinctively wanted to shout loudly, but his mouth was a milky cry. "Nima, Lao Tzu is still a baby, what's the matter? There's a smell of withered blood grass in it, and you can't drink that medicine!" What should I do, what should I do?" The little guy was really anxious, and his little short legs kept kicking in his mother's arms.
"Eh, yes, I can't just pee on it. So, the little one stopped moving and began to reach out to the packet of herbs.
Chu and his daughter-in-law saw that the little guy wanted to raise his arm but couldn't do so, and the two laughed happily. Chu picked up the candy beside him and handed it to the little guy, who obviously didn't want this. Then he picked up another ruler, but the little one still didn't want it. After trying it many times in a row, I finally picked up the packet of Chinese medicine and put it in the little one's arms.
"You said that this child is really, just born, what do you know about such a small thing. Why just put a packet of Chinese medicine on him, and he won't cry. Could it be that our child is sick?" Chu Qi couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"! How can my son be sick, the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth! Oops! This child is urinating, hurry, hurry up and take away the packet of Chinese medicine! Oops, it's all soaking wet. This child!" Chu Qi's daughter-in-law saw that the child was soaked with the bag of Chinese medicine urine, but there was nothing she could do.
"Cluck, cluck, you can't drink now. Haha, you'll know later, it's your precious son who is saving you, giggle!" the little one laughed happily in his mother's arms.
"This bear child is smiling so happily after wetting the old lady's Chinese medicine, it's really a bad beating!" The mother gently patted the little one's little ass while changing his diaper. "You go and put the Chinese medicine in the sun to dry, this boy's urine is fine, and when he turns around and dries, he is frying the medicine. ”
"Okay!" Chu Qi received the "holy decree", picked up the Chinese medicine and ran out.
The little guy looked at his mother with a doting smile on him a little speechlessly. "I'm invincible and beautiful, my beautiful mother. I can't take that medicine, and besides, I've already urinated on it, why do you still want to drink it? Alas, I hope that the master's urine can dissolve some of the medicinal power!"
When Chu Qi finished running to the house, his daughter-in-law looked at the sweaty man and felt a little distressed. "Daddy, give our children a name!"
"Well, yes, what's it called! In our place, apart from the mountains and the water, there is not necessarily anyone who can get out of this mountain. I used to hear what other people called so-and-so, let's call him Chu!" Chu Qi thought about it again and added. "Chu is the Chu of 'only Chu is talented, and Yu Si is prosperous', and a certain is 'planting a cane and a wind goose, a certain water and a certain hill'. ”
The daughter-in-law frowned slightly, she had no culture, and after a little thought, she nodded in agreement. "It's a good name, I think it's okay!"
The little one never imagined that his great mother would be so simple and rude. He rolled his eyes, then fell asleep in his mother's arms.
At this time, there are countless mountains as far as the eye of people in the mountain village can see. There are countless caves in these mountains. The cave was big or small, gloomy or bright, and strange and strange. In the depths of a cave, there is a futon. There was a figure on top of the futon, extremely thin, but still breathing. The futon had been bitten by the giant white wolf lying on its side, but the figure did not move. After a long time, a voice sounded in the cave.
"Born to be sensible!"
Soon after the sound in the cave was heard, the white wolf let out an extremely faint roar. At this point, there was no more sound in the cave.
