Chapter 1: The Past Before the Age of Seven (1)
His name is Lin Kang. What a fool. This is a fact that was recognized by everyone two years after he was born.
Two years, two whole years, the symbols that everyone thought were auspicious signs at birth turned out to be so pale and powerless at the moment.
Lin Kang's father sat on the edge of the bed and smoked a cigarette, and the smoke accompanied by the gloomy clouds on his face made this gloomy atmosphere a little more desperate. Lin Kang, who was still sleeping on the bed, snuffed out a cigarette, Lin Kang's father sighed and moved back to lean on the head of the bed, his thoughts went back to two years ago.
"Dr. Zhang, how's it going!" Seeing Dr. Zhang coming out of the operating room, Lin Lei, who was born in the countryside, rushed to Dr. Zhang's side and asked nervously.
"Mr. Lin is relieved, the mother and son are safe, it's just ......" Dr. Zhang stopped talking, which made Lin Lei anxious.
"Just what, what's wrong?!" In a hurry, Lin Lei grabbed Dr. Zhang's clothes, but soon realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly let go of his hand, and forced an apologetic smile on his anxious face.
"You'd better see for yourself......" Dr. Zhang glanced at the nurse next to him, and the nurse nodded very cleverly and led Lin Lei into the ward.
Full of doubts, Lin Lei hurriedly followed up in the ward and saw his pale wife Wenwen lying on the bed at a glance, and the nurse held the newborn to Lin Lei on the side, but after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see why, the child looked normal, but Lin Lei also found that something seemed to be missing.
"Mr. Lin, your child doesn't know why...... I haven't cried until now...... "The nurse's voice is very thin and soft.
Lin Lei suddenly realized that what was missing was nothing else, what this child lacked was the cry of a newborn! How so?
"How's the kid?" Lin Lei's mother walked into the ward, leaned to Lin Lei's side, looked carefully at the baby in the nurse's hand, and soon found that something was wrong.
Lin Lei's mother belongs to the people of the half-feudal era, in the eyes of their generation, there must be some reason for this situation, but they believe in superstition more than they believe in science, so the old man did not ask the reason, but waited until he went home to find a fortune teller to calculate a hexagram for his grandson, which brought great expectations to the Lin family.
Lighting another cigarette, Lin Lei's eyes began to slowly redden, and he didn't know whether he was choking on the cigarette or sad.
The fortune teller said that Lin Kang was a good omen from heaven, and he would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. But two years have passed, Lin Kang is still the same as when he was born, he doesn't cry, he doesn't make trouble, he can't talk and he can't go, the only sound is babbling, the only action is to climb, all the hopes of the Lin family slowly turned into disappointment, and even turned into despair in the end.
Lin Lei, who was desperate, once wanted to abandon the child, but was stopped by Wenwen, no matter how bad the child was, it was a piece of meat that fell from her body, how could she bear it if she wanted to abandon it.
A few days ago, a strange old man broke into Lin Lei's house, as soon as he entered the door, he looked left and right, pointed, Lin Lei thought he was asking for food, and caught up with the anger that had been held for so long and wanted to drive the old man out, but the outstretched hand had not touched the old man, and the old man smiled slightly and said: "If you want the child to be saved, come to me in the middle of this month, but as for whether it will be successful, it depends on the child's own creation." After the old man finished speaking, he dropped a number and left without looking back.
Lin Lei was stunned in place, his first reaction was that this old man listened to what others said on time so he came to cheat money, but even so, Lin Lei was still willing to give it a try, in his eyes, even if it was not cured, he should at least do something, otherwise he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Lin Lei went to find the old man early this morning, the old man didn't say a word, just frowned and looked for the back of Lin Kang's head for a long time, Lin Lei didn't know what he was going to do, but he was afraid that there would be any bad consequences if he interrupted, so he could only sit honestly and wait for the old man to finish. For three hours, the old man finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he stared at a certain place in the back of Lin Kang's head, and then picked up the scissors beside him and cut them in the air, Lin Lei didn't see what he had cut, just wanted to open his mouth to ask, the old man waved his hand to him and said: "Don't say anything, if it has an effect, give me another reward, if it doesn't work, it's as if you haven't been here today." ”
After smoking the second cigarette, Lin Lei looked down at Lin Kang, who was still asleep, tiptoed his feet to the ground, and quietly opened the door to leave...... Daddy ......".
Lin Kang's words were very difficult to say, but Lin Lei was still shaking like an electric shock and was stunned in place, and after a few seconds of reaction, Lin Lei quickly turned around and hugged Lin Kang in his arms, tears raining down.
When the whole family was overjoyed when they learned the news, a large family came over to hug and touch that, and the matter seemed to be over here, and Lin Lei's heart that had been hanging could finally be put down. After more than two years of marriage, Lin Lei seems to have passed twenty years, and he is already full of wrinkles when he is forty years old, and he looks like a person in his fifties, but fortunately, the difficulties seem to have finally passed, and Lin Lei even has an illusion that his future is open.
A month has passed, Lin Kang, like other children, began to slowly learn to walk, learned to say a few simple words, the family was happy but found another problem at the same time, although Lin Kang's intelligence and behavioral ability slowly grew up, but the physical fitness is getting worse and worse, coughing today and catching a cold tomorrow is diarrhea the day after tomorrow, there is no major illness, and minor illnesses continue.
Lin Lei remembered the old man at the beginning, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in the room, and finally turned out the phone number, Lin Lei hurriedly dialed the number as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, but unfortunately this number had been prompted to be empty, and in an instant, all hope was shattered like a mirror, and Lin Lei sat helplessly in the chair and wanted to cry without tears......
