Qin'an Town, here is thirty miles away from Yinling Mountain. At midnight, the lights were shining in the house of a family surnamed Liu in the town, and there were many people standing in the yard. Everyone's face looked very uneasy, and one of them, a well-dressed man in his thirties, was walking back and forth in the courtyard, looking up at the door in the middle as he went, and muttering, "How is this good?" How's that good? Ancestors bless, ancestors bless, bless my Liu family! ”
In the west corner of the courtyard, there were two maids, and in the middle there was an old woman sitting upright on a chair. At this time, her eyes were closed, she was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and there were words in her mouth, which should be constantly reciting Buddhist scriptures.
In the room with the brightest lights, there was a cry that resounded through the clouds at this time, and the mournful sound passed through the courtyard and fell into the ears of a few people standing outside, which made people tremble. The two girls looked at each other, and their faces turned pale with fright. After a few earth-shattering cries, the shouts of the people in the room became weaker and weaker, and gradually the shouts became quieter and quieter.
"Oh no, no! Madame fainted! Fast! Prepare the ginseng soup! Call the doctor up and wait! The room squeaked, and a woman about half a hundred years old came out of the room, her hands still stained with blood. With the lights behind her, her messy hair, and the smell of blood all over her body, it was as scary as it was. At this time, she probably had nothing to do, and she was frightened.
"Go ahead and do it! Fast! The man in the courtyard hurriedly called Yahuan, and after calling, he raised his hand to wipe the large beads of sweat on his forehead, his face was already a little blue, and his body was a little shaky. It was such a difficult day, his wife had been in the delivery room for a day, but she still couldn't give birth to the baby in her womb. How can he not be in a hurry.
At this time, the old woman who was sitting also stood up, trembled and walked to the man's side, sighed and said, "Ah Da, is this the will of heaven?" Will the heavens kill me? The mother and son's hands were tightly clasped together, and both of them were wet palms. On this day, they were also suffering a lot outside.
Then there was another period of chaos, the ginseng soup was served, the doctor also entered, and the door of the delivery room was closed, but no sound came from inside. The mother and son in the courtyard almost jumped to their throats, and they didn't dare to come out. The two of them stared at the closed door, wishing they could see through the door.
"Madam, if you work hard, the child is about to come out!" As soon as the midwife's voice fell, there was a shout of "Ah! ”
After a few moments, the door to the delivery room opened again. At this time, the heartbeat of the mother and child in the courtyard was about to stop. But I heard the cheerful voice of the midwife: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the old lady, the lady gave birth to a big fat boy!" ”
This sentence brought the hearts of the mother and son, who were clasped in four hands, back to their original places. The man was so happy that he took three steps and two steps, and rushed to the door of the room, wanting to go in and see the people inside. But the midwife stopped him: "Slow, master, you shouldn't go in now." The lady and the little boy have nothing to do, and it is not too late to enter when the slaves and maids are cleaned up. ”
The man rubbed his palm, nodded excitedly, and then shouted to the old woman in the courtyard who was picking up the Buddhist beads again and turning them happily: "Mother! I have a son! After saying that, he shouted again: "Ah Fu, Ah Fu! Go to the treasury and get some silver, and give a reward to everyone in the house! When Ah Fu, who was guarding outside the gate, heard this, he hurriedly walked to the warehouse, and when he heard that there was a reward, he walked vigorously. Yahuan, who was listening next to her, also had a happy look on her face.
After everything inside was cleaned up and the doctor was sent away with great gratitude, the man happily held his son and looked left and right, up and down, and over and over again. After seeing enough, I remembered to carry him to his wife's side. Looking at his wife, who was pale, wet and drowsy, he pitifully put his son in the crook of her arm and said softly, "Ah Yue, you see, this is our son." Look at him, how cute. Ah Yue, thank you for your hard work. ”
The man lying on the bed shook his head slightly, and he was no longer able to speak. just barely bothered his eyelids and glanced at his son, and then fell into a deep sleep.
The old woman stood outside the door with Buddha beads and watched this scene, so excited that she burst into tears, and had recited "Amitabha Buddha" countless times in her heart, thanking God for letting their Liu family finally have a queen.
"Huh? The little boy was born until now, and he still hasn't cried? Master, wait for the old body to take a closer look. The midwife was really strange in her heart, usually the child cries as soon as she lands, but why is this little boy so quiet? Isn't there something going on? She panicked, and her hand was a little heavy, and she slapped it on the tender little buttocks. But no matter what method she used, the little boy never cried, only opened a pair of eyes that had not yet grown, and looked quietly ahead, and no one knew where he was looking.
The man was startled and rushed forward. The Buddha beads in the old woman's hand were stunned, and she no longer cared about the rumors of the bloody disaster, and rushed in. A few people gathered around, no matter how they did it, the child just didn't cry.
"O iniquity! What kind of iniquity have I had? The old woman patted her chest with a miserable face. In her understanding, children are born without crying, and nine times out of ten they are idiots. Their Liu family's grandson who had been looking forward to it with great difficulty was an idiot, and this blow almost made her faint. At this time, the person lying on the bed also woke up slowly, heard the old woman's cry, and knew that things were not good, and she was anxious to struggle to get up.
The midwife exclaimed, "Madam, don't get up!" Lie down, lie down! She hurriedly ran to Madame's side and pressed her to the bed, "Madame, don't do it." ”
The person who was pressed by her on the bed and couldn't move, but tears flowed out uncontrollably. Although she knew that she couldn't shed tears during the confinement, she couldn't help crying when she thought that the son she gave birth to after experiencing death and walking through the ghost door was an idiot.
Just when everyone was worried about the fact that the little boy would not cry, at this time, a black cat came to the door, shaking two bright eyes, looking at the child in the man's hand, "Meow! Meow! Meow! The ground cried out three times.
"Where did the black cat come from? What a bad luck! Xiaoyi, don't hurry up and get rid of it! The old woman raised the Buddhist beads in her hand and screamed!
Maybe he was frightened by the old woman's cry, or maybe he was frightened by the cry of the black cat, the little boy who had not reacted just now, who didn't cry or make trouble, suddenly let out a cry that shook the earth. "Wow! Wow! Wow! "Crying desolately, crying loudly, but crying so comfortingly! It turns out that he can cry too!
"Cry! Crying! Ouch, my precious grandson! The old woman was so overjoyed that she snatched the child and held it in her arms, and smiled at her grandson, who was crying.
"Old lady, is this cat in a hurry or not?" Yahuan Xiaoyi stood at the door and asked timidly.
"My grandson will cry after this cat comes, this cat may be related to him, leaving it is, and it is a good thing to let it be with my grandson in the future!" When the old woman heard her grandson's cry, she was so happy that she stopped talking about driving the cat away.
The cat seemed to understand human speech, and was neither surprised nor afraid, and did not hurry to find a place to sit down at the door, and sat upright, still looking at everything in the room with its two eyes. When its eyes saw the child in the old woman's hand, it "meowed" a few times again. Everyone was attracted by the little boy's cry, and no one paid attention to the black cat's expression. I saw it roll its eyes upward, then smoothed the hair on its face with its paws, turned around and jumped a few times, and followed the trees in the yard to the roof. It looked at the moon that was about to set, and sighed helplessly. "Coward, so unscrupulous, you are so scared stupid! Oh, what a sin! Meow! ”
After tonight, a new life begins. What will be the outcome of this next life? No one could have predicted.
