Chapter 499: History of the Kui Family (5)
Shi Yuangong finally married Shang Bao's sister, which should be the first time in the history of cavemen to intermarry with ordinary people.
He first settled down at the foot of Kui Mountain, and after inspecting the land (measuring and checking the land in the country), he was assigned to Yuntang and built a village on a barren and low-lying saline-alkali flat.
Shi Yuan Gong lived to be ninety-eight years old, gave birth to seven sons and five daughters, and had an ordinary life, but he passed down the bloodline of the cavemen.
When Shi Yuangong was forty years old, he began to secretly build another mansion under his own house.
Digging holes was probably a troglodyte talent, and he quickly made the world underground like a home house on the ground, or even better than a house on the ground.
His wife asked him why he was doing this. He just told his wife that he had become afraid of the chaos in his early years, so he "created a place to avoid trouble for future generations." ”
In this way, Shi Yuan Gong and his children slowly dug deeper and deeper into the ground, and then separated many spaces, and he also left a secret room to enshrine the three pearls there.
When Shi Yuangong was sixty years old, the second child of the third son was born, and to everyone's shock, this child had a "Lei Gong face".
The third daughter-in-law was frightened in the puerperium and was in poor health, so the child died shortly after birth.
And the stable woman who delivered the baby was also frightened by the child's strange appearance. Shiyuan Gong gave people two stones of rice, and then the matter was silently suppressed.
Although the cavemen used to have very different living habits, because they followed the ancient precepts and never stayed away from Mingzhu, there were no children with "Lei Gong Face". Shi Yuangong couldn't help but think of those mountain songs full of curses - could it be that he left Yuanyuan Mountain without permission and intermarried with ordinary people, which had already touched the taboo of the gods?
So, is the birth of this child a curse from God?
Shi Yuangong carried the child to the ground, and he prayed to Mingzhu for the mercy of the gods.
In order not to alarm the neighbors, after discussing with his family, he raised the child underground, and announced to the public that the child died in childbirth.
This is the first fish-faced boy of the Kui family. According to the rank set by Shiyuan Gong, he was named Kui Kaipeng, he did not have a name in the genealogy of the Ming Dynasty, but later generations honored him as Kaipeng Gong.
In this way, he grew up underground, and he liked to stay in the secret room where the pearl was hidden, and Shi Yuangong felt that this child might be related to the gods, so he was especially fond of him.
He taught this grandson many things that did not see the light of day, including the Four Books and Five Classics in the private school—Shi Yuangong was a diligent scholar, and these classics were all things that he memorized every day after settling down.
Compared to his grandfather, Kai Peng Gong is simply a child prodigy, and he has a set of skills that he will never forget. Whether it is a book or an object, as long as he sees it, he will always remember it in his heart.
——It's like looking at the time, the slightest staggered, and the inch is not happy.
Shi Yuangong praised his grandson in his diary.
The talent of Kaipeng Gong also gave Shi Yuan Gong another revelation - maybe such a child is not a curse, but a messenger sent by God?
But Shi Yuangong is also worried that this strange appearance and magical talent will bring misfortune to his clan.
——The world is re-oriented, talented, and given to Pan Yue Weiju, it is called talent; And when it is applied to the south wind of the river, it is called treacherous and evil.
This world is face-seeking, and the same talent and intelligence become talent in beautiful men, and in ugly people, it is a treacherous technique.
Therefore, he set a special family motto.
——Let the descendants of those who are different from each other always keep the pearl, live underground for a long time, and not be known to outsiders.
In this way, from Kai Peng Gong to Kui Lao Kun, the Kui family has a total of four "fish-faced people", these people are:
Kui Kaipeng, the third generation of the Yuntang Kui family, has a strong ability to read and understand, and he will never forget;
Kui Xiangyun, the fourth generation of the Yuntang Kui clan, has a strong arm and a thousand strengths;
Kui Yongqi, the fifth generation of the Yuntang Kui family, has the ability to listen to the wind and distinguish people by sound;
Kui Buga, the seventh generation of the Yuntang Kui family, has the ability to see good fortune and evil, and can investigate good fortune and evil.
Kui Lao Kun is Kui Bu Yan, but by the time it was passed down to that era, the family's values had changed.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had been peaceful for a long time, and Cheng Zhu's scientific thought was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. High-yield crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and cotton have also begun to be introduced into China, and the people's food and clothing have been solved to a certain extent.
Moreover, scholars had the upward path of the imperial examination, and the status of workshops and merchants was also improved. The whole society seems to be mild and homogeneous, and people with different abilities have become a burden to the family.
At that time, the Kui family had already become a prominent family in Yuntang Town. The Kui family is smart and resilient, and many of their children and grandchildren have begun to get ahead. But at this time, it may be the unintentional behavior of the villagers, or it may be the jealousy of others, and there is a rumor in Kuiyang Mansion.
The rumors are fried in the cold rice of the open penggong, and people say that the Kui family gave birth to a freak before, and this person still has the ability to remember and is the embodiment of evil.
Some people also say that the Kui family is actually a family that has produced demons for generations. This kind of rumor seems to be nonsense, but the effect is terrifying, especially when there are two strangers hidden under the courtyard of the Kui family's mansion at that time.
The men, women and children of the Kui family can't help but feel all kinds of weakness, and the children of the Kui family, whether they are officials or businessmen, are facing a lot of pressure.
Times have changed, and this society can no longer accommodate these people.
So from the beginning of Kui Yongqi, the Kui family hated to bury him alive in the ground, not only did not let him come out, but also basically abused him without food and clothing, looking like they couldn't let him die early.
Kui Yongqi's ability is just to listen to the wind, and he can hear all the private chats at home, including those words that mock and dislike him.
Receiving more information, it is a good thing and a bad thing, plus there is no sunshine all year round, and everyone speaks coldly to him, Kui Yongqi gradually can't think of many things, he comes and goes, not too young, he actually committed suicide by hanging a beam underground.
After Kui Yongqi's death, the Kui family did not have the legendary retribution and disaster. At that time, there was an old out-of-phase person Kui Xiangyun under the Kui family, and soon after Kui Yongqi's death, he had been in good health and died suddenly for some reason, and it is said that he was bleeding from seven orifices when he died.
When Kui Laokun grew up, his grandfather told him that in fact, Kui Xiangyun was poisoned to death, but at that time, the Kui family had a large population, and no one knew who gave the poison.
What's even more terrifying is that the entire Kui family tacitly acknowledged, no one wanted to investigate the matter, and no one stood up to complain for the people of the same race, and everyone seemed to be relieved.
When he said this, his grandfather sighed frequently.
- Ah Yan, if grandpa dies, the people may not be able to tolerate you......
Kui Laokun felt a chill in his heart, so he asked his grandfather, is there any way to make the Kui family no longer have such a different person?
