Chapter 3: The Fact of Rebirth
A graveyard in the wilderness.
Ji Fusheng failed to find his daughter, and knelt on the ground alone and was heartbroken.
"I, Ji Fusheng, do not consider myself to be a treacherous and cunning person, although I am rich, I have always been honest and trustworthy. Over the years, he has given alms in disasters, donated food in distress, and helped countless villagers. But why is God so unfair to me? I have no children under my knees, and this is the only one woman who inherits the bloodline, why do you want to take it away from me? O heaven, O gods, O Bodhisattva! I beg you to give me back your daughter......"
A heartbroken father let out a heart-rending wail. His tears moistened the parched ground under his knees, and his sorrow echoed in the mountains and forests. The migratory birds in the nest were so startled that they all got up and listened to his cry, and the beasts that smelled the breath of the living and were about to pounce on them all retreated. After hearing such a tragic story, how could they bear to hurt such a father?
I don't know how long it took, but the voices of the family members were getting farther and farther away, and the night was so quiet that only his own cries and heartbeats could be heard. His voice was hoarse, and he was trembling all over.
"Ji Fusheng."
Suddenly there was a call in the air, and it was a female voice with a sense of vicissitudes. Ji Fusheng raised his head in shock, he didn't see a figure, only vaguely felt that the voice seemed to be not far from the treetops. Ji Fusheng unconsciously flashed a trace of surprise, and he had a thought in his dark - his daughter might be saved.
"It's Ji Fusheng down there, dare to ask which god your Excellency is?"
Ji Fusheng looked at the air and asked.
"You don't have to ask more, the deity just remembers that you have done good deeds for half of your life, and pity you for the pain of losing your beloved daughter, and forgive you once for this......
Ji Fusheng was overjoyed when he heard these words, and looked at the air to express his sincere thanks.
"Thank you, thank you! Thank you, God, for your generosity......"
Ji Fusheng kowtowed dozens of times on the ground, and kept saying words of gratitude in his mouth.
Then the one in the air spoke again.
"If you want your daughter to come back to you, you have to pay some price and sacrifice."
"I am willing, even if it is exchanged for my life immediately, I will not complain."
Ji Fusheng couldn't wait to promise.
"Okay, the deity has written it down. Go back, and in seven days your daughter will be back......
The voice gradually drifted away with the wind, and Ji Fusheng returned home with great excitement. However, time and space have shifted. Since then, he has become a teacher in a small village. A dignified, beautiful, healthy and lovely daughter really came back.
"Dad, what do you say, why has our family become in such a situation?"
Ji Yunhan's innocent eyes stared at her father, wanting to get an explanation.
"Oh, my good daughter! Have you been out for a few days and encountered something strange? Why do you talk so strangely? ”
Ji Fusheng avoided answering his daughter's questions, and in turn, a few questions were asked that his daughter was stunned. She turned her face back to her mother. Her mother's reply was, "Good girl, stop reading those weird novels, and see you're getting a big deal." ”
"Ahh
Ji Yunhan exclaimed, and then kept patting his head, and he really couldn't figure out what was going on for a while? Maybe it's time for me to rest for a few days and sort out my chaotic thoughts. Seeing that his daughter finally stopped asking, Ji Fusheng quickly changed the topic and instructed his wife Qi Yunbi: "Yunbi, go catch an old hen and slaughter it!" After a while, I will go to the neighbor's second sister-in-law's house and borrow two catties of white noodles, so that we can make a meal for our daughter today. ”
Mrs. Qi Yunbi answered "yes", and then went out happily.
Ji Yunhan felt tired, and although she was not used to that home, she still walked into the back room to rest. As soon as she slept until noon, her mother came to call her for dinner. Although the family is surrounded by walls, at least the relatives are still around, and the family reunion is the happiest moment. Although that meal was not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and seas that he ate in the past, Ji Yunhan ate it very sweetly. She decided not to ask her parents about the cause of the change in family circumstances, because she suspected that her father was caused by his sudden bankruptcy, so she did not want to dig into his father's wounds.
After the meal, the family was chatting on the side of the kang when someone was banging on the fence outside.
