Chapter 79: Bastards and Magical Seeds
His uncle was devastated, for he had heard from an accomplished astrologer that a man with an unusually keen sense of smell like his nephew tended to live a very long life, and had a very strong body and vitality, and that he would not suffer from any diseases, but how could he suddenly get such a strange disease and die so quickly? He couldn't believe that what had happened in just a few days was real, it was more like a nightmare to him, and he really wanted to wake up from this nightmare quickly. But the living reality told him that it was indeed not a dream.
However, what happened next made my uncle almost have a nervous breakdown, and it was also the most terrible event he experienced in his life.
For according to Jewish funeral tradition, when the deceased dies, if the deceased's eyes are open, then his eldest son, or the closest person, must close his eyes, light the candle that symbolizes the soul, and open the window of the room so that his soul can be set free, and then put a sheet on the body. Finally, a family member or friend will be around the deceased and recite Psalm 23.
The Jew died so painfully, of course, his eyes were open, and his uncle sat beside the corpse, looking at the strange expression on his nephew's face, which was extremely terrible, and seemed to be smiling, and his heart was both frightened, disgusted, and grieved. A large part of his huge wealth was earned for him by this nephew, and usually, although he was good to this nephew, at this moment, he still felt ashamed of his nephew, and if he knew that his nephew would leave at a young age, he would be doubly good to his nephew.
Although this child was stubborn since he was a child, he didn't worry about him or make him angry, but at the moment of life and death, he knew that his feelings for his nephew were so deep. Although he has five sons and three daughters, for some reason, deep down in his heart, the most loved and pampered is still this nephew.
But seeing his nephew die so miserably and so painfully, his heart was about to break.
It was evening, and it was already dark in the house, so he ordered a dozen candles to be lit, and the room was bright. Three sons who had come with him to China stood behind him. In addition to the four of them, father and son, there were several servants and relatives and friends. Although there were many people in the room, you could hear a pin drop on the quiet ground. And because of the corpse with such a terrifying and strange expression, everyone felt very frightened and disgusted, and everyone's eyes tried to avoid the corpse. Most of the people lowered their heads and looked at the ground. According to their tradition, relatives and friends of the deceased must stay by the deceased's side before the funeral, but everyone wants to bury this terrible body as soon as possible.
As the only closest relative, it is the uncle's unshirkable and unshirkable responsibility to close his eyes for his nephew, so the uncle had to muster up the greatest courage, endure the fear and nausea in his heart, raise his head, look at the nephew's terrifying face, and prepare to reach out and close his nephew's eyes.
Suddenly, he noticed that his nephew's eyeball was moving in one eye! A calm man who had experienced countless hardships, he couldn't help but scream in fright, jumped up from his seat, and then turned his face to the people behind him, stammering and incoherently saying, "Look, David...... 's eyes are moving...... moving".
All the people in the room were amazed, and the people were both curious and frightened, and wanted to go up to see it, but they did not dare to go over to see it. After all, two of them were more courageous, leaned over to take a closer look, and shouted in surprise: "Yes, David's eyes are really moving, what's going on?" Then a third person came over, and most of the people in the room had the courage to come over and take a look.
That's right, the eyes of the Jews are moving! And the more it moved, the more it moved, as if there was something in it. The people in the room were all holding their breath and staring intently at what was in the increasingly moving eyes.
Slowly, the eyeballs were squeezed to the side, and a thin insect arched out from the inside, this insect was the size of a finger, and what was extremely surprising was that this insect was very different from ordinary insects at one end of the body, with a clear part of the human face! And while climbing, there is a beep!
The people in the room were stunned.
In Li Yuanwai's study, the old man and Li Yuanwai had just had dinner, and unlike the last few times, in addition to Li Yuanwai and the old man, Zihong and the old servant were also there. Ever since the old man had made a plan to get rid of the Jews, she had brought the black truffles mixed with insect eggs to the Jews. The eggs in the truffle are actually the eggs of the terrible "human face worm".
Here's what happened: The bug that came out of the asshole of the son of Li Yuanwai was caught by the old man and put into a crockpot, and the reason why the old man did not kill the bug immediately was to use the eggs laid by the bug against the Jew. Generally speaking, even if the eggs are eaten by the average adult, they will not get sick because the eggs will be killed by stomach acid, but if they are drunk with black truffles, the results will be different. Black truffles are alkaline foods, so they can neutralize with stomach acid, which can ensure that the eggs are not killed by stomach acid. The eggs are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and enter the brain. This "face worm" likes to eat human brain tissue the most, so once it parasitizes in the human brain, it will quickly devour human brain tissue and grow quickly.
That's why the hapless Jew died a tragic death. The old man learned from a monk that black truffles still have this effect.
When the news of the death of the Jews came, Li Yuanwai was relieved and ecstatic, and the greatest threat he faced was thus dissolved by the old man. Coincidentally, on the day I learned the news of the death of the Jews, the letter from Zen Master Yungu also happened to arrive, although the matter was resolved, Li Yuanwai still couldn't wait, and unfolded Zen Master Yungu's reply to him, and only wrote a meaningful poem on the letter:
"The way is not annoying, not far away, and the people are only in the present. King Huai smelted the stone to the sky. It's been a thousand years. It's all about low-mindedness, and things should be accidental. The furnace is full of circles. Mercury must be obtained to cast lead. ”
After reading it, Li Yuanwai didn't say anything, just glanced at the old man standing next to him, and the two looked at each other and smiled understandingly, and a thousand words were all speechless. It turned out that this old man was invited by Zen Master Yungu to help Li Yuanwai, and it was exactly what the words said, "The most people are only at present".
The death of the Jews left Zhang with great grief. That Jew may be the only person in this world who can satisfy her spiritually and physically, and in these short days with Jews, she has experienced the true joy and incomparable happiness of being a woman, but it is such a person who will never be able to get together again, which makes Zhang have an indescribable sense of loss.
What complicated Zhang's feelings even more was that she was pregnant with this Jewish child. At first, she was going to secretly find a Langzhong, take some medicine, and kill the fetus, but when she really wanted to do so, she hesitated. This belly child, but the crystallization of her and the man she loves the most, how can she bear to beat it lightly? After several days of painful struggles, she was determined to give birth to the child. Because the Zhang family often went to a nunnery dozens of miles away to burn incense and make vows, and donated a lot of silver to which nunnery every year, the relationship with the owner of the nunnery there was quite good. Therefore, she planned to hide in the nunnery and secretly give birth to the child.
After thinking about it for a long time, she found an excuse and told Li Yuanwai that she had thought about one of her wishes, and went to the nunnery to retreat for a year to recuperate her body, and it was also a practice to pray for blessings.
Li Yuanwai actually wished that she was not at home, so he readily agreed, and asked Zhang to bring a few more subordinates in order to take care of her daily life. But Zhang's only brought a personal girl, and it was not Zihong, but another girl who was more confidant.
In the summer of the following year, Zhang secretly gave birth to a baby boy, and originally wanted to beg the owner of the nunnery to find a suitable adopter, and then send the child over, but he searched for it, but did not find a suitable one, and Zhang was afraid of being known, so he did not dare to look for it with great fanfare. In addition, Li Yuanwai repeatedly urged her to go back quickly, but there was really no time, so Zhang had to wrap the baby boy with tears in his eyes and put it on a broken low wall on the side of the road. Because there are quite a few people coming and going on this road, I hope that someone will find out and take the child away and raise it.
Since then, there has been no news of this child in Zhang's family, is he dead or alive, was he taken away? Who took them away? If he had been raised, would the child be okay now? What has it become?
Whenever in the dead of night, or alone, Zhang couldn't help but think about these questions repeatedly, and every day in front of the Buddha statue, he silently prayed for the abandoned son.
When Sister Li and I read these legendary records, we realized that my cousin's inference that "the blind man may be a descendant of the Jews" was not groundless and groundless. It's very likely.
For example, the Jew's prediction ability, superhuman olfactory ability, superhuman immunity, etc., and another point, according to modern scientific research, people with a keen sense of smell tend to live longer, if the Jew is not killed by the old man who is outside the world with a "face worm", I don't know how long he can live. Because his sense of smell is not only keen, but also "super keen".
And the amazing thing is that these characteristics are present in the high blind man, and if the high blind man is the son of a Jew, this can also be regarded as one of the important proofs of the father's very characteristics, and of course it will be passed on to the son.
However, this Li Yuanwai is also a strange person, and his life experience can be regarded as ups and downs, which is very legendary. He has no supernormal abilities, but he can save the day again and again, even in the face of a seemingly invincible opponent like the Jews, he is the final winner, which is a bit incredible.
