Chapter 1 Pregnancy in October: A Woman Becomes a Male
Before I was born, I was almost beaten off as a freak, because I had been in my mother's womb for a full sixteen months, half a year later than anyone else.
This situation frightened my father and mother at the time, and my father was even more afraid to beat me, but my mother did not agree, my mother said that the mythical Nezha was pregnant for three years before he was born, and I was only a few months later, what are I afraid of, maybe the child is the god in the sky.
So, I was supposed to be born in winter, but I was born in the summer, and that day happened to be the summer solstice, and that day was also the hottest day, and I officially came to the world at noon that day.
But before I was born, all the experienced midwives and doctors saw that my mother was pregnant with a girl, and there was no ultrasound at that time, but the eyes of those midwives and doctors were extremely accurate, and there was almost no fault in judgment.
But just after I was born, my parents were surprised to find that I was a boy!
Although I have been in the mother's womb for more than half a year than others, the body is basically the same size as that of normal children, and my father said that I have a louder voice, nothing special, in my father's words, when I was born and began to cry, the scared town dogs are running around the street with their tails between them.
Then, the blind old man in the town suddenly came to my house uninvited, and when he saw me, he shook his head again and again, and kept muttering strange things.
The blind old man is not really blind, he is just blind in one eye, lame in one leg, and missing an arm, but the blind old man has a well-known name in the town, a living fairy!
Dad saw the blind old man shaking his head and muttering, he was frightened at the time, and hurriedly asked him what was going on, the blind old man said that I should have been a pure yin female body born on the winter solstice, but I suddenly became a pure yang male body born on the summer solstice.
My father asked the blind old man what was going on? But the old man only said that the secret of heaven should not be revealed, so he refused to say anything.
The blind old man asked my father if he had taken a name, my father shook his head, and then the blind old man said to my father, just call it Qin Guang, my father heard that the name was not bad, nodded and agreed.
As I grew up, I noticed that I was a little different from others, for example, I was not cold in winter or hot in summer, but I would feel chills all over my body for a fixed few days every month, no matter how hot it was, I would shiver with cold.
Until I was seven years old, there was an incident in the town, which for a long time made the whole town panic, and no one knew why it happened, but I did know that it might have something to do with me.
One night, I was asleep in bed, and I was woken up by some rats stealing food, and I was a little unhappy and disgusted with them, so I shouted, all the cats and dogs in the town go and catch the damned rats, and get rid of these hateful rats!
The next day, the people who got up early to work were stupefied by the sight that appeared in the town!
The streets were found full of dead rats, densely packed with dead rats that were scattered all over the streets, and all of them were covered in flesh and blood.
I was also stunned by this scene, and vaguely felt that this incident might have something to do with me, but I was still young at the time and didn't think much of it.
This incident made the whole town feel terrified, after all, the sight of dead rats covered in flesh and blood was too terrifying.
Later, it was unclear why this was happening, and there were no other anomalies other than dead rats.
Slowly, people reacted from their fear, thinking that maybe the gods had been born to help them get rid of the rat infestation.
As time passed, people slowly forgot about it.
My town was just an ordinary town in the north, and it was still very backward at that time, and there were few households in the whole town with electricity, and the lighting was basically based on candles and kerosene lamps.
This year, I was exactly thirteen years old and was already in middle school.
After I had breakfast as usual, I went to find the cow egg and went to school together, and when we went to school, we had to pass by the door of the ruffian's house, but there was no way, the ruffian's house was on the way to school.
In our town, this ruffian is notoriously disgusting, bullying men and women, stealing chickens and dogs, and most of the people in the town are kinder and more timid, and they dare not speak out against this ruffian, and they hide far away when they see him on weekdays.
Fortunately, this ruffian doesn't bother us school-going children much on weekdays, probably because he knows that we children don't have much money, and he doesn't bother to take care of us.
However, most children are still a little afraid of this ruffian, and when they pass by his door, they will be cautious and frightened, but Niu Dan and I are not afraid of him.
On the contrary, this guy is quite jealous of the slingshot in the hands of me and Niu Dan.
Once he saw me and the cow egg took out a lot of eggs, and immediately had a crooked thought, so he jumped out and scared us that if we didn't give him the eggs, he would beat us, and when he saw that he was going to snatch our eggs, the cow egg and I were on fire, and immediately took out a slingshot and shot at him.
But today, when Niu Dan and I passed by the door of the ruffian's house again, we found many people in the distance surrounding his door, as if something had happened.
Seeing this, I glanced at the cow egg and hurriedly hurried over to see what was happening.
Just as I was approaching the ruffian's door, a few men suddenly ran out of it, shouting in utter horror: "Death to the dog!" It's drowned! ”
Then, the group of people gathered at the door of the ruffian's house fell to the side in unison, looking a little puzzled.
"What's going on?" Quite a few people began to ask those who had escaped from the ruffian's house.
Those people gasped, their eyes were a little glazed, as if they had seen some terrible picture, and muttered, "Dead! Drowned! ”
These people seem to be frightened silly, and they are a little uncomfortable to speak.
I listened to the cow egg for a long time and didn't hear a reason, so I pulled down the cow egg and motioned for him to go and see it together.
I quietly withdrew from the crowd and followed the cow egg into the ruffian's yard, and as soon as I entered the yard, I smelled a fishy, rotten smell that made me want to vomit.
Looking at the retching appearance of the cow egg, it is obvious that he also smells that smell.
In order to find out, I endured my nausea and continued to walk towards the only room in the courtyard, from which the unpleasant smell seemed to emanate.
When I walked into the house with Niu Dan and saw the person lying on the bed, no, the corpse, I couldn't help but vomit with a 'wow'.
For the first time, I saw a human corpse, and it was the kind of horrible rotting corpse that would give you nightmares just to see it.
The corpse's eyes bulged out, its lips turned blue, and its distorted face looked extremely hideous!
And the whole body is swollen, the miserable white skin has cracked, and the red rotten flesh inside can be clearly seen from the cracks, especially the abdomen, which is raised high, and the skin on the belly is cracked, revealing the colorful internal organs, and the cracks are still flowing out with faint blood-colored droplets.
Judging from the clothes, this is the ruffian, but didn't this dog still run after me after one of my stones yesterday.
After vomiting with the cow egg for a long time, I came to my senses and hurriedly ran out, not daring to stay in this yard anymore.
The scene just now was really disgusting and terrifying.
At this time, there were more and more people who came to watch, and many people were really brave enough to go and see it, but after coming out of the courtyard, they were almost the same as me and Niu Dan, all with frightened expressions on their faces, and their faces were pale and vomiting.
Originally, this ruffian who everyone hated died, and the people of the town should be happy, admiring that God had eyes, and finally let this wicked man have evil retribution.
However, when people saw the death of this bully, they immediately felt an aura of terror envelop the town.
That ruffian was lying on his bed and drowning!
Some people who understand say that the condition of the ruffian's corpse is clearly the kind of person who drowned, and the corpse has been soaked in water for a long time and has decomposed, but many people know that they robbed someone of a bottle of wine to drink yesterday!
"He went to the South Irrigation Pit last night!"
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, as if realizing something.
Speaking of Nanguankeng, everyone in the town can be said to know about it, because there are too many legends about Nanguankeng.
A little south of our town there is a large pit, about a radius of several miles, which is called the South Irrigation Pit by the people of the town.
No one knows how the South Irrigation Pit was formed, and there is water in the pit all year round, and I heard the old man say that it has not dried up for nearly a hundred years.
Some people say that there is a down-and-out dragon king living in the Nanguan pit, some people say that there is a turtle in the pit, and some people say that there are seventy-two wells under the pit, and the bottom of the well leads to the underground world, and some people say that the Nanguan pit is a ghost pit, and the water is full of harmful water ghosts.
It stands to reason that the South Irrigation Pit is just a dead pit, there is no living water circulation around it, and it is only replenished by rainfall, so it should have dried up a long time ago, but since I can remember, I have never seen less water in the South Irrigation Pit.
Because the south irrigation pit is the only clean water source area in the town, every summer, people will go to the pit in groups to swim to relieve the heat, and they will also touch a few fish to beat their teeth along the way.
Almost every summer, there will be drowning events in the South Irrigation Pit, and as more and more people die, someone will discover the pattern, that is, three people must die every year!
Since then, Nanguankeng has become a forbidden place in the town, and almost no one dares to swim there anymore.
But there will always be some brave people, maybe they can't stand the hot summer, maybe they want to go to the pit to catch a few fish to eat, so they quietly go to the South Guan Pit to swim and touch the fish.
As a result, the pit disappeared without a trace.
Anyway, the rumored miraculous Nanguan Pit made the people in the town have an inexplicable sense of fear in their hearts.
At this time, I suddenly heard someone say that the ruffian had been to Nanguan Pit last night, and many people looked abrupt, but after thinking about it, even if he went to Nanguan Pit, he shouldn't have died at home, he should have died directly in the pit, and the dead appearance didn't look like a person who had just died.
"The Living Immortals are here!"
At this moment, a one-eyed old man on crutches walked slowly from a distance.
When I looked at it, I thought to myself that this must be the blind old man my father told me to name.
