My name is Mao Xiaoluo, from Maojia Village, Qingshi, a person who has been scolded since childhood, unlike others, other people's names are taken by their parents, or by other relatives, and my name is taken by a Taoist priest who I don't know, as for the surname, I heard my grandfather say, our ancestors were not surnamed Mao before, and during the Qing Dynasty, our ancestors were implicated in writing and prison and fled to this point, and followed the local people to change their surname to Mao, and then it has been passed down to this day.

Speaking of which, I should be grateful for the family planning of the year, due to the decrease in the number of children in the family, to my generation, our Mao family is left with such a male as me, otherwise I would have been kicked out of the house by my grandmother, despite this, grandma's attitude towards me is still very bad, because we live in a compound, grandma can't stop scolding me every day, let me get out of this house.

The reason for all this is because of an incident twenty years ago, that morning my parents were making corn in the yard, and suddenly heard a muffled sound from the mountain east of the village, like a thunderclap on a sunny day, followed by a slight earthquake, which shook the corn that had just been stocked up again, and everyone ran to the door to look east, and no one found anything unusual, and it was determined that it was just an earthquake, but the loud noise was not known to people.

In desperation, my parents can only re-tun corn, until noon, my dad and my mother have just made lunch ready to call grandparents to eat together, at this time from outside the gate walked in a Taoist priest dressed as a person, the strange thing is that the big dog in the family did not bark, rural people are more enthusiastic, basically do not close the door in broad daylight, see the people, my dad quickly put down the chopsticks and greeted out.

My dad looked at the Taoist priest wearing a tattered, the cyan robe was covered with cuts all over the body, the sleeves seemed to be scratched, and there were burnt marks in some places, the Taoist priest looked like he was about fifty years old, and his two eyes were very bright, my dad didn't know him, and asked, "Where did you come from, and did you come to our house?" ”

The Taoist priest looked at my father, raised his nose and smelled it, and the fragrance of the food wafted out, and said, "This donor, the poor road has passed through this place, and I am willing to make good connections, I don't know if my friends are willing." ”

At this time, the grandparents also came out, and saw that although the Taoist priest's clothes were torn and a little tired, but seeing our big dog looking honest, he treated the Taoist priest as a master in his heart, and quickly replied, "The Taoist chief is in the house, please, and the coarse tea and light rice are also asked not to dislike the Taoist chief." ”

The Taoist priest was not polite, he went directly into the house to find a place to sit down around the dining table, my mother quickly added a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice, the Taoist priest directly picked up the chopsticks and ate it, so that my parents were restrained, and they only looked down to eat with their heads bowed when they picked up the bowl, and they were embarrassed to pick up the dishes.

The dishes on the table were basically eaten by the Taoist priest, and the grandmother quickly stood up and poured a cup of tea, and when she saw the Taoist priest put down the dishes and chopsticks, she hurriedly sent the tea to him, and said, "Taoist chief, please drink tea!" ”

The Taoist priest didn't even say thank you, just picked it up and drank it all, then stood up and patted his stomach, and said to himself, "Full, full, let's go!" ”

After that, the Taoist priest walked directly outside, my father's face suddenly darkened, I felt that this Taoist priest was too rude, and my father was young and vigorous, and he couldn't get used to those people who didn't work hard, seeing that this Taoist priest was not polite, he stood up directly and stopped him, and said, "Daoist, it's very hard for you to come here, although our family doesn't have any good food to entertain, but I also treat you as a guest in my heart, you don't even leave your name, I'm afraid it's not polite, right?" ”

When my grandmother heard this, she hurriedly ran over to teach my dad a lesson, "How can you talk, why don't you apologize to the Taoist chief quickly!" ”

When the Taoist priest saw this scene, he naturally stopped, looked at my father's indignant appearance, and a smile rose on his face, and said, "Young people, don't be too angry, since you asked, I also feel that I am quite destined for you, and I might as well talk to you." ”

While speaking, the Taoist priest turned around and sat down again, and my grandmother also quickly sat down, staring at the Taoist priest with an open mind to ask for advice, and the Taoist priest kept staring at my father and smiled, and only after a while did he speak, "Poor Taoist Qing Yuanzi, passing by your place today, suddenly felt a red light in the courtyard, so I wanted to come in and take a look, I didn't want it to be a happy event for this benefactor." ”

After hearing this, Grandma looked puzzled and asked, "What happy event?" ”

The Taoist priest smiled slightly, and said, "The red light of the right talent should be the joy of this benefactor's insider, and it is a boy." ”

After hearing this, my grandmother's eyes fell on my mother's stomach, and she said in disbelief, "Qiu Shu, are you happy?" ”

My mother's face turned red all of a sudden, because she had no experience in pregnancy, and there was no advanced equipment in the countryside at that time, just by feeling my mother nodded, and my father also looked at my mother with a look of surprise, and then there was a look of ecstasy, at first I thought that this Taoist priest was a person who wanted to eat, but I didn't expect that he was really a master, and the unhappiness just now had already flown out of the clouds, especially when I heard the Taoist priest say that it was a boy, I couldn't wait to pick up my mother and turn around twice.

"I'm tired of showing me my face and choosing a name for the child," my grandmother said quickly.

Qing Yuanzi smiled and nodded, then looked at my mother's belly, and then stared at my mother's face, under this look, Qing Yuanzi suddenly frowned, and said, "Fate is always unavoidable, this child is a destiny disaster, and at least one of the parents will not be at peace after birth!" ”

When my mother heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and if she brought disaster to her mother-in-law's family in the countryside, the whole village would laugh at her, and my father was also anxious, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Qing Yuanzi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "This world is full of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant, the past life is due to the effect of this life, there is no way to avoid it, after this child is born, you will have a disaster sooner or later." ”

As soon as these words came out, my dad stopped talking, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and my grandmother asked almost pleadingly, "Dao Chief, can this matter be resolved?" ”

Qing Yuanzi nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "If you want to resolve it, unless you get rid of this child, but doing so is nothing more than avoiding this life and creating the sins of the next life. ”

My dad nodded, thinking that what the Taoist priest said was not unreasonable, but he was still skeptical, and said, "Daoist, please give the child a name." ”

Qing Yuanzi closed his eyes and pinched his fingers and calculated, "This child's fate has been bumpy in his life, ups and downs, I will take a name, in our Taoist family, we pay attention to things must be reversed, I hope this child can have great ability, fate is determined by heaven, but luck is in his own hands!" ”

When Grandma wanted to continue to ask something, Qing Yuanzi had already stood up and said, "I have a fate with you today, so I had a meal at your house, and I also gave you some instructions, the heavenly machine can't be leaked too much, I still have a spirit talisman left here, wearing it on my body may be able to protect you, maybe we will see each other when this talisman is destroyed!" ”

Qing Yuanzi reached out and handed a golden charm to my dad, and then went out, my dad handed the charm to my mother, and then sent Qing Yuanzi out of the door, back to the house, the atmosphere became very depressing, and everyone began to discuss whether to give birth to me.

I also listened to my mother later, at that time my dad and my mom insisted on keeping me, because of this incident and my grandma quarreled, resulting in my grandma not talking to my parents for a period of time, to my mom six months pregnant, the belly has been more obvious, grandma looked at my mother's belly, probably also like children, plus my mother made that charm into a purse to hang on my dad, grandma took the initiative to reconcile with my parents.
