Chapter 1: Lives
My name is Li Mucun, I was born in a single-parent family in a remote rural area of Huicheng, I have no father since I can remember, and my mother has been raising me alone for 19 years.
I thought my life would be as ordinary as my name forever, until today, the one who has been gone for many years
The "sister" appeared next to me again, completely breaking my quiet life. The most thing my mother told me was not how hard she pulled me alone, but a very feudal and superstitious thing.
It all started when I was a kid. She always told me that I was not in good health when I was a child, and I went to many hospitals, and I asked for a lot of home remedies to no avail, until the blind man Li, who had been away from the village for many years, returned to the village and felt my mother carrying me past him, and he was immediately startled.
Old Li is a single man, only in his fifties, but he is extremely old, the wrinkled groove on his face seems to be able to trap a few mosquitoes, and the white feathers on his eyes look extremely terrifying, I have always disliked him.
But my mother always said that the blind man Li was a master, and he was the one who saved my life! My mother also said that although the blind man Li couldn't see it, he told me in one sentence about my frail and sick condition, which was convincing.
I heard that the blind man Li was kind and benevolent, and felt a yin qi in my body, that is, he asked for my birthday from my mother, he pinched his fingers, but his face changed greatly, and he stared at his pale eyes in horror as if he had seen a ghost.
My mother hurriedly asked Li Lao Blind what the situation was, and Li Lao Blind said slowly, saying that I was born in the lunar year, the moon, the cloudy day, and the yin moment.
When my mother heard this, her face immediately changed, and she hurriedly took out all the money on her body and gave it to the blind man Li, who wanted to refuse to accept it, but his life was extremely poor, so he accepted it.
Old Li said that the ghost fetus in the world is not necessarily me, but it must be related to me. Then the blind man Li asked my name again, and his face immediately turned pale, without a trace of blood.
What my mother said was colorful, and I could also think of the frightened expression on the old and ugly face of the blind man Li.
Li Lao Blind was a fortune teller in the village for generations, and he had never studied, so he had to do this with his father.
It's a pity that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the central government has cracked down on feudal superstition, and although the blind man Li can make a living with one mouth, his life is extremely poor.
And those who do their business have an ironclad rule, receiving money from others, and eliminating disasters for others. Old Blind Li accepted my mother's money, but he couldn't regret it, so he could only explain it slowly.
Li Mucun, Li character is dismantled into wood and son, and I was born when the five yin converged, this wood is not a yang wood, but a ghost wood that raises yin qi, Huai!
It's nothing to gather yin with ghost trees, as long as I plant a few peach trees at home and generate yang energy, I can be safe and worry-free.
But that's the bad thing
"Son", you need to know, whether ancient or modern,
"Zi" means to represent people and sons, and my name was taken by my mother
The "son" is equivalent to me, and it is inextricably linked. The ghost wood is on top, and the people are below, so I'm here
The surname "Li" is an extremely terrifying thing, I have been standing with a little ghost on my head since I was born!
My mother hurriedly shook her head, saying that the whole village of our Li Village is surnamed Li, and it makes no sense that there are little ghosts standing on the heads of the people in the whole village, right?
! Instead of arguing with my mother, the blind man put out a dry palm with his five fingers spread. My mother said that when she saw the hand of the blind man Li, her face was immediately frightened green, my birthday is a five-yin party!
When the blind man Li saw my mother come to his senses, he had a bitter old face, and said slowly, and he counted my mother for a while.
Old Blind Li said my name
"Mucun" was even more confused, there was a ghost tree pressing on me, but my mother found another one.
One tree is shade, two trees are forests, my mother directly found a group of little ghosts to press on my head, so that I will never turn over, and I will be plagued by those ghosts and ghosts for the rest of my life!
There are the dead, and there are hidden children. That is, my life was long ago
"People" counted, this
The "people" have been thinking about me for a long time and hid me in this bureau! The dead are ghosts, and they hide in me. Combine my full name with my birthday, that is: there is a powerful ghost who has calculated everything, hidden by my side, leading countless little ghosts, waiting to ride on my head for the rest of my life!
My mother's face turned white when she heard this, and she couldn't stop crying, crying bitterly that she was confused and that she had hurt me. Even now, whenever my name and this matter are mentioned, my mother is guilty and feels very sorry for me.
So my mother never called me by my name, and after she consulted the blind man Li, she gave me a separate milk name, called Yangsheng, hoping that I would stay away from those ghosts and live in the sun.
As for why not just change the name? The blind old man said, my life is doomed, I can't change it, and the name of a person is the most variable in his life, as long as he can change his name through legal means.
It is not easy to change the name, the name is easy to change, how can the number of lives be changed if it is said to be changed? Now there is a big ghost standing above my head, a group of small ghosts, who have changed their names abruptly, but I am afraid that they will alarm those things and make them have nowhere to stay, but they may be angry and take my life!
Therefore, this name cannot be changed! Old Li said again that he was worried about the ghost, and he was weak and sick, and he was afraid that he would be killed by the ghost when he was killed!
Eternal life, eternal life, be a poor imp who is a slave and a servant, and you must not be born beyond life! When my mother heard this, her face was white and green, and she knelt on the ground and kept begging the blind man Li to save me.
Old Li shook his head bitterly, saying that if he did what they did, he received money and stained the cause and effect, and this matter must be managed, and he can't regret it, otherwise sooner or later, this cause and effect will fall on his head, and he won't know how to die!
My mother said that on that day, the blind man Li took my mother and me to the broken grass house where the blind man Li lived, and pondered for more than half an hour, and finally gave my mother a way.
He sent my mother and me to a stone temple in the mountains of a neighboring province, which was said to be protected by the gods and had mysterious powers.
Old Blind Li asked my mother to kneel in front of the stone temple for 7749 days, kneeling for three hours a day, and offering nine pillars of incense every day, so that my life was temporarily saved.
Later, the blind man Li didn't know where to find a broken and old lock, which was famous
"Longevity lock", let me eat, drink, wash and sleep without leaving my body, but to ensure that I have no worries for the rest of my life, and never contact me again.
And when the blind man Li saw me in the village, it was like seeing a ghost, obviously he was a blind man, but he ran faster than a monkey, and disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke!
All of the above is what my mother often told me, and I had the right to listen to it as a story, and I didn't discuss the meaning of this with her.
After all, I am also a new youth in the 21st century, an undergraduate college student with science education, how can I still believe in these evil things of gods and ghosts?
It's not that I'm boasting, I'm still filial and well-behaved, although I don't believe in those gods and ghosts, but I still listened to my mother's words, and kept hanging that small and worn long-life lock around my neck.
Later, when I was in high school, I once went swimming in a reservoir in the western suburbs of Huicheng with my classmates, and it wasn't until I went ashore that I realized that the little lock hanging around my neck had been lost because of play!
When I found out about this, I still panicked. The so-called listening day and night will become a long-term illness. Before I knew it, I was starting to care about the longevity lock.
But no matter how long I dived in the reservoir, I didn't find the little lock I lost, and in the end I had to hide from my mother and go to a certain treasure to buy a similar one to put on, and it was over.
Since then, two years have passed, not only have I become the only child in the village who has gone to high school, but I have also gone through the college entrance examination and successfully entered the best university in Huicheng, Huicheng Xizi University!
Because I lost the longevity lock, I can't help but listen to the story of what my mother has repeatedly warned me since I was a child, after all, I have lost the longevity lock for more than four years now!
And the sister I'm talking about, she's an orphan my mom adopted when I was five years old, called
"Ni Cai'er", who is only two years younger than me, is small and delicate, and very cute. My mother is a powerful person, one person pulled me up, not only did not let me suffer a little, but also took me out of the remote and poor Li Village when I was in high school, and entered Huicheng to do business.
Maybe it's because of the poor background, a set of independent villas in Nuoda, my mother didn't even invite a servant, only occasionally called someone to come over to clean up, so only the two of us lived in the villa, but it was strangely cold.
Li Village is a small village in the middle of nowhere, there are no children my age, and my mother is probably worried that I will be alone, so when I was five years old, she adopted Ni Cai'er, my sister, from the orphanage.
This incident also made many people in Li Village happy for a while, and they all said that my mother was good to me, and she would find me a good daughter-in-law when I was young.
When I was a child, I didn't know what these people in Li Village were talking about, but when I came to the city and went to high school, I knew what everyone in Li Village was talking about.
It turned out that because Li Village was too remote, it still retained the bad habit of raising children and daughters-in-law, and my mother brought back Ni Cai'er, and in the eyes of everyone in Li Village, she chose a child daughter-in-law for me!
Because there are no children of the same age as me in Li Village, I don't talk much, and I belong to the kind of withdrawn children.
But since I have this sister, I am really lively and cheerful, playing with her all day long, and before I know it, the whole person has changed.
With Cai'er, the days seem to fly so fast, even in the poor and remote Li Village, I am also extremely happy, and I have a happy year.
And because I was going to school in Huicheng, my mother took me and Cai'er away from Li Village, where we had lived for fifteen years.
These are the beginnings of my Five Yin Gathering!
