Chapter 1: Red Clouds Fall from the Sky

Next Chapter

May, early morning.

Just after the hour, the mountains were filled with silence and a slightly cool atmosphere.

There is a Lijia village in Jigong Mountain in the south of the Eastern Kingdom. It is said that this Lijia village has been settled here for thousands of years, and it is a paradise.

But a "big family" in the village was anxious.

Compared with the small mud houses in the same village, this family is much more magnificent, with a walled courtyard and east and west wings.

At this time, it was 2 o'clock in the morning, a village woman was moaning in pain on the bed, and the midwife kept comforting her: "Don't worry, sister, take another breath, hard~"

In the past, giving birth to a child was a dangerous job, not to mention nine deaths, but the multiple-choice question of whether to keep the big or the small is often raised.

And now it is obviously not going well, it has been an hour, and I haven't even seen the shadow of the baby.

In a tense atmosphere, it was time to survive.

The midwife's legs trembled, and it was the first time that she had seen a child take so long to give birth to a child outside the village for so many years.

I couldn't help but mutter: "Why is it as difficult for this family to have a child as it is to give birth to Nezha?" :”

At this time, it was a middle-aged woman who was sweating like rain and giving birth, even though her face was a little pale with prostration, but she still had a temperament that was different from that of women in the depths of the mountains.

There was also a man squatting next to his wife in the room, the man was 170 tall, not very tall, but his muscles were very solid.

The man also kept comforting his wife, but in fact, he was even more anxious.

One is worried about the safety of his mother-in-law, after all, she is almost forty years old, and she is also an elderly mother. The second is that he is worried that he is not a male baby, he already has two daughters, and if he doesn't give birth to a male baby, he may cut off the incense in this vein.

It's a double ordeal.

Half an hour later

There were red clouds floating in the sky, and in a short time there were red clouds in the sky, and the red clouds in the sky were pressed down. The sky deepened, and the red clouds of iron, connected with the mountain gorge, surrounded the village like an iron cage.

Exudes an oppressive momentum.

Almost at the same time that the red cloud was finished.

The loud cry of the baby broke through the sky in the anticipation of the family.

The man hurried over to see if his child was a boy who could inherit the incense.

After confirming that it was a handle, the man was overjoyed: "Okay! Okay, my Lao Li finally has a son, hahaha"

"Congratulations, fortunately, mother and child are safe, it is the first time I have seen such a long time in so many years of delivery. Anyway, your mother-in-law looks like she's not strong, but the endurance is really. It's hard to put into words," the midwife sighed while congratulating.

I don't know whether the man is patronizing and happy or not knowing how to answer the woman's ridicule, scratching his head and laughing awkwardly, he comforts his wife and goes.

After comforting the woman, she hurriedly urged the midwife to cut the umbilical cord and take the child, and when she looked back, the outside of the wing room was white and red.

The man didn't seem to understand what was there or not, but he knew that it was a vision, and he was overjoyed: "Wife, daddy! Look at the auspicious rain from the sky! Auspicious rain from heaven."

The child's grandfather hurriedly ran over, and the grandfather used to be a teacher in this village.

"Panic what, nothing at all!" He held the child and looked at the reddened sky outside, his face was a little solemn: this child must not be simple in the future.

In this way, let's call this kid Li Zhengxing (xing). His body is upright, and he does not give orders; His body is not right, although he does not obey orders. I hope that the child will grow up to be of good character and have his own principles.

After that, he looked at the child and his father with fierce eyes: "You have no opinion, little cub." ”

"Nope. Of course not, you're the one here, of course you're what you say," the man said with a smile

The man took the child and looked at the baby with this handle, and he kept grinning his teeth, but he had no culture, so he had to keep saying: This baby is handsome, like me, like me.

Grandpa blew his beard and stared at his son, thinking to himself how this unfortunate boy didn't look like me at all.

It is said that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, but in this kind of small mountain village, good things and bad things can't be hidden.

The next day, Li Jianye (that is, my father) ran around, and when he saw people, he said that I had a son. shouted that there would be a big banquet next month.

There's no way, I don't know what kind of bad luck has fallen in his family, starting from Li Zhengxing's grandfather, it turned out to be a single line. I couldn't give birth to a second son. In this old-fashioned village, the concept of a full house of children and grandchildren is still very important.

There is an extremely old profession in China, but whenever anyone has a happy event and holds a banquet, someone will definitely come up to play and sing and ask for money.

This Lijia Village is surrounded by mountains, except for the procurement of materials, few people will go out, let alone someone will come.

But when I was full moon, a middle-aged Taoist priest came, wearing a purple and gold robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, stepping on cloud climbing boots, and holding a sword in his hand. It's like a dog.

Where has my father ever seen such a temperamental person, so he hurriedly invited him in.

The Taoist priest was unceremonious, looking like a dog on the surface, and when he saw that no one was around, he immediately became obscene

"That, give it to the old first... After thinking about it for a while, I didn't seem to be satisfied, and added: "Chicken, duck and fish must be available."

Even if my father is uneducated, even if he is upright. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, thinking: "Who is this, the fortune tellers are so rampant?" ”

It seemed that there was something wrong with my family's reaction, so he hurriedly added.

"Eh-don't worry, I'm a fairy in our circle, I can't buy a meal, don't be fooled."

Seeing that my father was still there, he continued: "When I was hunting pheasants in the mountains a month ago, I noticed that there were red clouds floating in the sky of your house. This is auspicious, right? ”

The Taoist sold a pass and continued: "Do you think that the red cloud is good luck? It's a big mistake, it's true, the gods in the sky are also reincarnated and rebuilt, but Xiangrui should be colorful" Then he knocked on the table and looked at my father with a squint: "So... It's not necessarily a good thing. ”

"And what the hell is this red cloud?" My dad realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked.

This is also thanks to my father's uprightness, otherwise this Taoist priest would have been driven out long ago.

"Eh, don't worry, put the wine and food first, don't worry, I'll help you solve it, hahaha" Don't look at the person this Taoist priest wears a human, it is indeed ... Forthright.

Our family is not bad for this meal, not it.

After a full meal...

The Taoist priest ate with a mouth full of oil, and drank with a flushed face. Under my father's eager gaze, he finally spoke slowly

"I know, you must think I'm a liar, right? That's it, I'll count it for you. ”

"I really don't believe that I can't fool you," the Taoist thought to himself.

After a while, the Taoist's eyes were also shocked.

"Huh? Your family is interesting, you can't give birth to a second son since your father, and if you force it to be born, you will only die young, and you have already lost two younger brothers, right? ”

Without waiting for my father to reply, the Taoist lowered his voice and continued: "I know that many people in this village know about this, but every time your family has to make a grave sacrifice at three o'clock in the morning, this strange rule is to light red wax, right?" ”

The Taoist priest paused and said, "Your grandfather is still a bit of a Taoist, that's how he uses it..."

My father's brain is not easy to turn, but my grandfather happened to pass by, so he heard a rough idea, and immediately became angry: "Put your mother's fart, do you mean that my family is famous because of my father?" ”

Suddenly, a neutral voice popped out, which frightened the Taoist priest: "Eh, Poor Dao didn't say that, don't get me wrong, your father did this for your good, he didn't harm you"

"Okay, let's stop talking about this for now, let's talk about the child" At this time, the Taoist priest sat up in danger.

If you look closely, you will definitely find that my grandfather's expression is relieved.
