18.Chapter 18
Hidden in the city, no one would have expected that the wine Taoist who was very famous in the Xuanmen and had reached the heavens would use the pseudonym Li Jiu to live in seclusion in a small inland county.
Since the sixties and seventies of the last century, Li Jiu disappeared without a trace, at that time it was the Xuanmen catastrophe, many people in the Xuanmen were wiped out, the Taoist temple was smashed Taoist priests and Taoist aunts went down the mountain to farm, monks and nuns were forced to marry wives and marry, the upper nine streams, the middle nine streams, and the lower nine streams, almost all of them were destroyed and attacked, among which the upper nine streams and the middle nine streams were almost cut off, but most of the lower nine streams were not born well, and they were thick-skinned and good at drilling camps, and in that era when they were born worse, they survived tenaciously.
After the reform and opening up, the mainland's economy began to recover, and the lower nine streams quickly revived, bringing many negative impacts to society.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, in the past, the upper nine streams occupied the temples, the middle nine streams and the lower nine streams entrenched in the rivers and lakes, and now, the temples reshape the order, but the rivers and lakes are only left with the lower nine streams, black smoke miasma.
Li Jiu has lived in seclusion under a pseudonym for more than 30 years, and has long broken off contact with the people in the Xuanmen, and lived with Ah Huang in this remote and isolated small county, living a leisurely life, occasionally helping others, and living a very comfortable life.
However, Li Jiu's quiet life for more than 30 years was still broken by a little crying bun.
Li Jiu was very busy in his early years, and he had very little time to spend with his wife and children at home, and in his memory, his son was taught very well by his wife Yunniang, who was born in everyone's beautiful life.
But what about the winter cubs?
Who the said that devils don't have seven feelings?! It's almost fatal to cry!
Li Jiu was about to be shattered by the cry of the little thing, and Ah Huang, that unrighteous little bastard, had already smeared oil on the soles of his feet.
Although Li Jiu was crying with a headache by the winter cub, he also slowly let go of his guard and prejudice against devils. Seeing the winter cub crying sadly, Li Jiu was actually a little envious of Lao Li Tou and his grandmother, at least they still have a filial son who sincerely cries for them, and then look at himself, and wait for him to die one day...... Li Jiu couldn't help but sigh.
The winter cub is only three or four years old, and he has always been stupid like an autistic child, and it is only recently that he has begun to slowly be able to hear what people around him say, and he has begun to respond subjectively to external stimuli, and it has been less than a month since he learned to speak and shout people.
Toddlers of the same age can't understand death, let alone winter cubs.
He only knew that his parents were gone, his parents didn't want him anymore, and there was only a bad fat old man who had beaten him.
The winter cub was sad, scared and aggrieved, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, crying breathlessly, snot and tears flowing all over his face, very pitiful.
Li Jiu coaxed the winter cub for a long time, but he couldn't listen to a word, and finally cried tired, and fell asleep on Lao Li's head.
Lao Li Tou and Sun Pozi have actually been dead for nearly a month, and the spirit fish and beast blood have been providing them with a steady stream of life, which has slowed down the decay of their bodies to the greatest extent, otherwise with the current temperature, it is impossible for ordinary living corpses to stay in the sun for so long without sucking human blood.
After the couple's souls left the body, the body that was maintained by anger would decompose in a very short period of time to the point where the body was supposed to decompose.
The temperature in late summer and early autumn lasted for nearly a month, and under normal circumstances, the corpses had already rotted to the point that only bones and flesh remained.
The strong rancid smell quickly filled the entire room, and it took Li Jiu a lot of effort to tear off the dog skin plaster that was sticking to Lao Li's body.
The winter cub was still sobbing quietly in his sleep, and the little guy who was sleeping in a daze felt a warm embrace, and subconsciously hugged Li Jiu's neck, and his cold little face rubbed his neck socket like a coquettish, and shouted softly: "...... Father...... Daddy, winter cub ......"
Li Jiu had mixed feelings in his heart, sighed, gently patted the thin back of the winter cub, and coaxed in a low voice: "Good, good, I know that the winter cub is good, sleep well, don't cry." In some old voices, there was a gentleness and emotion that Li Jiu himself hadn't noticed.
The winter cub seemed to really listen, and slowly stopped sobbing, leaning on Li Jiu's arms and falling asleep.
Li Jiu took out a free hand and gently wiped the tears and snots on the beautiful face of the winter cub, and only when he wiped it clean did he come back to his senses - he originally planned to get rid of the devil, why did it become like this inexplicably?
Forget it, since he promised Li Angui and his wife to take good care of the winter cubs, he will raise the little guy according to their wishes, and he also wants to see what this devil who is completely different from the inheritance record can go.
Lao Li Tou and his grandmother have returned to dust and dust, and they have been a hundred, but whether it is their aftermath or the adoption of winter cubs, it is troublesome.
Fortunately, Li Jiu inadvertently got acquainted with Wang Jun before this. The matter of Li Angui's family, or Wang Jun sued him, it is reasonable, Wang Jun has to do his best, right?
After several twists and turns, after tossing for several days, Wang Jun also made a lot of efforts to arrange the aftermath of Li Angui and Sun Hong. Wang Jun went through some formalities and let the crematorium cremate the remains of Li Angui and Sun Hong for free, and Li Jiu paid out of his pocket to buy two tombs with good feng shui locations for Li Angui and Sun Hong in the cemetery in the county seat, and chose an auspicious day to bury the two.
Poor people must have something to hate, and the people in Lijia Village are so cold that it makes people feel cold.
They collectively forgot about the atrocities inflicted on Li Angui, and after Li Angui's death, he returned home on his own, creating the illusion that in their eyes, they did not beat Li Angui to death. After all, a few days ago, when the police came to ask him, Li Angui was still alive and well.
Now that Li Angui is dead and rotten at home, they don't think that Li Angui's death has anything to do with them, but feel that the 'Bodhisattva' is extremely accurate, saying that their family will have a bloody disaster within a month. No, it's only been a long time, and the old couple are dead, and no one knows about rotting at home.
Originally, there were still some people in the village who coveted the property left by Li Angui and his wife, and the dilapidated houses on the mountainside were certainly rare, but the old Li Tou and his wife had worked in the county hospital for so many years, how could they have no savings? The two of them didn't even grow much land, so they raised a few goats and a few old hens, and although they lived a poor life, they didn't see them in a hurry at all.
As the old saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart.
No one knows how much money Lao Li Tou and his wife have saved, but the people in the village guess how there are also thousands of children.
In 2001, in the impoverished mountains of Lijia Village, 8,000 children was no small number.
Li Kangwei is one of the people who covets this money, and he has no conditions for himself, so he picks up Li Kangjian, who has just died of his son, to adopt a winter cub. But it's a pity that Li Kangjian and Sun Xing haven't come out of the pain of losing their son, and that evening, when the people in the village were out of control and violently attacked Lao Li Tou, Li Kangjian and Sun Xing were also in the crowd, and they smashed several big stones at Lao Li Tou as if venting their anger. Li Kangjian remembered that he threw a stone at Lao Li's head, and Lao Litou was bleeding a lot, convulsed several times, and stared motionless......
At that time, everyone thought he was dead, and they scattered while it was dark. He was worried all night, but when he got up early the next morning, he found that Lao Li was gone, and only then did he come back to his senses, and it turned out that he was 'playing dead'.
However, Lao Li Tou 'pretended' to be too similar, and Li Kangjian was so frightened that he had nightmares for several days.
In Lijia Village, there are still many people who have nightmares like Li Kangjian.
Therefore, now that Lao Li Tou is dead, not only do they not feel much guilt, but they are all faintly relieved.
Li Kangwei pouted again and again, Li Kangjian and his wife were unmoved, and the other people in the village who were hungry for this money were a little afraid of the 'monster' in the mouth of the Bodhisattva, the winter cub, no matter how much money there was, it had to be spent.
But this money fell into the hands of an outsider in vain, and these people who wanted money but did not want to raise winter cubs were very unwilling.
For this reason, Li Jiu took a lot of effort to transfer the winter cub to his household registration book. Especially the person who had previously opened a household registration for the winter cub, because he killed someone and escaped, he was quickly dismissed from office and imprisoned after being arrested, and the town rearranged someone to take over his work, and the documents he gave to Lao Li Tou were all invalidated, and then there were accidents at home one after another, and the matter of Lao Li Tou doing a household registration for the winter cub was shelved. Therefore, the winter cub is still a small black household of unknown origin.
Fortunately, Wang Jun became the captain of the criminal police in Tongcheng for many years, and he was a snake in the field, and with him coming forward to help up and down, the winter cub finally settled under Li Jiu's name.
Both of them are surnamed Li, which can be regarded as fate.
The winter cub was coaxed and deceived by Li Jiulian, coaxed into Wang Jun's car, and went to the county seat. Taken away with the car, there are also storybooks, dictionaries, usual changes of clothes, new sweaters knitted by grandmother and grandmother for winter cubs, etc., which Lao Li Tou and his grandmother told Li Jiu to bring to the winter cubs. Don't look at Grandma Sun and Lao Li Tou, who usually keep their money very tightly, but they are very willing to spend money on the winter cub. The clothes and shoes that the winter cubs usually wear, although they are not a brand of goods, and they are not much, but the materials are very good, and they are very comfortable to wear. On the other hand, the clothes of the husband and wife are all white-washed stalls, and many of them are old clothes that they picked up when they were working in the county hospital.
In order to leave a memory for the winter cub, and at the same time hope that when he grows up, he can remember that he once had parents who loved him so much, Li Jiu packed all the clothes of the old Li Tou and his grandmother and took them back to the county seat with the car.
In order to save money, Lao Li didn't add anything to the old house at all, and when Li Jiu moved like this, the family was so poor that even thieves wouldn't patronize it.
The only thing that still has some value in the old house is the half-burned old locust tree in the yard.
This hundred-year-old locust tree already has a spirit, it knows that the winter cub is going to be taken away, and it is very reluctant, so before the winter cub leaves, it exhausts all its vitality and condenses a branch of more than ten centimeters, desperately hoping that it can also be taken away.
Li Jiu saw that the old locust tree had never killed and done evil, so he turned a blind eye and let the winter cub take away the branches of the old locust tree.
The old locust tree was first hit hard, and now it broke off its own foundation, and after the winter cub broke off the branches it possessed, the old locust tree's ignorant spirit fell into a deep sleep.
The location of Lijia Village, in fact, is a yin Jedi from feng shui, otherwise the spirit fish that should have been suppressed here would not have turned into a ghost fish. When the old locust tree was still there, it instinctively absorbed the yin and evil qi around the village, and as soon as the old locust tree 'died', the only vitality of Lijia Village was also cut off.
When Li Jiu overtook the old Li Tou and his grandmother, the remaining obscure evil qi had not completely dissipated, and once it was connected with the yin and evil formed by the feng shui in the village, it would sooner or later cause a catastrophe. Originally, Li Jiu wanted to dispel these evil spirits just a gesture, and slightly changed the feng shui of Lijia Village, so that it would not be a problem to ensure the safety of Lijia Village for another ten or twenty years.
But the coldness of the people in Lijia Village really chilled him, and in the face of Li Angui, who was beaten to death by them, not only did they not have the slightest repentance, but they also coveted the little money left by the other party.
It is already unfair for good people to repay evil, so why should Li Jiu do more things to help them repay the wicked?
One qiē is nothing more than karma, and Li Jiu's choice to sit idly by is just to conform to nature.
After the winter cub destroyed Zhao Chunjuan's divine eyes, his eyes could also see some 'qi' under normal circumstances.
Wang Jun's police car slowly drove out of Lijia Village, and the winter cub sat in the back seat with a sad face with a locust branch. Their family's old house was even more shrouded in black gas, which gradually became entangled and slowly spread over Lijia Village.
The car went a little further, and from a distance, the entire Lijia Village was covered in black gas, like a cold tomb.
Those who live in cemeteries shall be sacrificed.
