Chapter 1: My Birth
My name is Liu Xuanqing, and I was born in 1986, so why do I have such a strange name? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In my impression, the population of the village is two or three hundred, and the most twenty families in the village are living a self-sufficient life, because it is too far away from the town, and it is climbing mountains and wading through water, the traffic is very inconvenient, and going out of the town has to pass through the haunted forest, and there is no means of transportation, they all rely on two steps, and naturally they will not go out without need. If you want to go out to the town once, you can go in groups, one can be more courageous, and the other is safe, and this also means that the New Year is about to be, and you have to do the New Year's goods before you go, and you can buy all the items you need at one time.
Why is it called that? Because before I was born, my parents, who were old superstitions and liked to find fortune tellers, asked someone to pinch their fingers, and did not ask who the fortune teller was, and I didn't know.
Say that my life is too hard! hard enough to kill my own biological parents. In layman's terms, I'm a debt collector.
Before me, my mother had a son, about six or seven years old, who was my brother, and when he was still pregnant with me, there were a lot of strange things, and these were nothing. It was a major event that happened later, which completely convinced my parents that I was really an ominous person, and then there was a hexagram to say.
According to my grandmother's recollection, when I was four months old in my mother's womb, my brother suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night, and it was getting worse and worse, and my parents were very anxious and busy, and there was no medical clinic in the small village, and there was no transportation, except for the old cow. Just when there was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, they felt anxious, helpless and helpless, watching their only son's breathing weaken, and slowly turning from a lively little boy into a corpse without temperature. Until they are completely out of breath, they are powerless. According to my grandmother, my father was so angry that he was planted at the door of the house, and my mother was grief-stricken, her forehead was wrinkled, her tears were like rain, and she couldn't eat for the rest of her life, sighing at her brother's relics all day long.
Just after a few months of sad heart, when I was nine months pregnant, one night I dreamed that my dead brother came to me to ask for a dream, saying that he had died too unjustly, and then I kept crying in my mother's dream. My mother was also frightened, and early the next morning, after discussing with my father, I found a fortune teller in a neighboring village to ask for a hexagram. This question makes things unusual.
It's said that the child in your belly is here to collect debts. My mom was so scared that she wanted to beat me off on the spot.
According to what the fortune teller said, I don't know which life, I was a young lady from a big family in ancient times, and I was supposed to live a happy life when I talked about marriage with my crush. But I didn't want to go to the temple the day before the wedding, and on the way back to the temple, I met robbers, and those robbers not only robbed the property, but two of the robbers also had the idea of robbing. But I don't want the young lady to be a strong character, in the process of resisting, the two robbers killed the young lady by mistake, and when they left, the two robbers still didn't understand their hatred, and after stripping off the young lady's clothes and ruining them, they left satisfied, and let the young lady be exposed, and she didn't blink to death.
The fortune teller said that if there is a cause, there will be an effect, and the cause of the past life will be the result of this life. It's not that they don't report it, it's just that the hour hasn't come yet. In previous lives, because the two robbers were guilty of crimes, they were reincarnated as animals, and the young lady never had the opportunity to take revenge, and refused to be reincarnated, just because there was a grievance. Finally, when the two robbers completed their cultivation, they got the opportunity to be a man in this life, but it was also the time for the young lady to collect debts.
Your son was the one who stood by at that time, so in this life, the young lady will take his life first, and when the young lady is reincarnated as a human being, it will also be the moment when you repay your debts. After my parents heard this, the two of them were completely dumbfounded, they didn't expect that this bad fate, in the repeated reincarnation, still couldn't escape the arrangement of fate, and they asked the fortune teller if there was any way to solve it. The fortune teller said that he could help them open a court and set up a formation for them, asking the child's name to be changed to pay off after birth, which was intended to resolve his fate. He also asked that after I was born, I would be given up to be raised, and the two of them could not raise them personally, and they could not be called parents. This will not only be good for me, but it will also save them from this fate.
After my parents told my grandmother the reason, my grandmother was furious and said that the fortune teller was talking nonsense, but my parents had already decided that I was a disaster star, and they could no longer listen to my grandmother's advice, and still insisted on giving me away. Even the person who raised me was found, and they advised my grandmother not to be so stubborn.
Or my grandmother disagreed, domineering insisted: "You don't want this baby, I feel sorry for this baby, this baby will follow me in the future, you don't want this baby to call your parents, and when this baby sees you, I will call your aunt and uncle to be!" Because of this, my parents and grandmother have never had contact with each other, and my mother and my grandmother have a historical problem, that is, a serious discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the reason is that my grandfather died early, and my grandmother brought up my father alone, and my grandmother is very superstitious. And my dad is the kind of weak character who is more afraid of his wife, so he naturally obeys my mother's orders.
One winter morning in December, I was born. On the morning of my birth, my parents called my grandmother early, and without even looking at me, they couldn't wait to throw me to my grandmother, and told me that my grandmother should not come here to look for them if she had nothing to do.
My grandmother hugged me, who had just been born, and went straight to her house without looking back. My grandmother's house is some distance from my parents' house, separated by a few alleys. In less than half a year, because of my parents' work, they also moved away from the village, away from here, and settled in the big city. In fact, I later learned that my father was not born to my grandmother, and when they moved back to the big city, they also recognized their biological parents. No wonder the relationship between grandma and father is so stiff, not at all like mother and son.
I have the impression that my grandfather has long since passed away, and my grandmother has always lived alone. Under the instigation of this feudal mentality, even if a woman has no husband, she must be widowed. Especially in this remote and superstitious village.
All the impressions of my childhood, also stayed there. Even now, I still don't forget it. There will always be inadvertent times when I dream of that old house. The large heavy wooden door in front of the house is simple and quiet, long and intimate, ancient and soft. The mud walls of the years are depicted with the cracks of old age, and even more so when they are wet by the rain. The sandalwood and rafters of the tiled house are all made of wood, round and thick, and several of them are hung horizontally on the roof. The top layer of tiles is arranged in an orderly manner, and the most interesting thing in my impression is the transparent "night pearl" in the sea of tiles. In fact, it is a small square of transparent glass inlaid in the tile, like a night pearl in the dark, which has accompanied me for many springs, summers, autumns and winters. There are a little starry night sky, there are rainy days with heavy rain, there are sunny sunny days, and there are gloomy and rainy days. In my childhood, this small square glass allowed me to see through the cycle of the four seasons, and I don't know how many days and nights.
How many nights, I still can't help but recall the big and tattered old wooden bed, the simple and unpretentious old table.
And my childhood, like a mysterious little village, was full of mystery.
