Chapter 14: Into the Temple

In a mountain village named Miaocha in Jingning, Gansu Province, there was a cousin born at the same time as Yue Chi, that is, the son of his uncle.

Yue Chi's mother is weak and has little milk, while her aunt has a strong body and has more milk. Auntie's milk, my cousin couldn't finish it, and my aunt asked Yue Chi to eat it.

The cousin is white and fat, especially likable, and everyone praises him, and they all say that he has a good time growing up.

But such a good brother, who was about a year old, suddenly had a fever and a cold. This matter should be put on hold in Xinjiang, and it would be good to go to the hospital for an injection.

But at that time, the village was backward, there was a lack of medical treatment, not to mention the remote mountainous areas, and even the towns and villages did not have regular hospitals.

People see a doctor and rely only on traveling doctors. That is, the rivers and lakes who go to the village and go to the households. But in the mountain village where Yue Chi was born, people believe more in feudal superstition and ignorance.

My brother didn't eat or drink for two days, and his body was feverish like charcoal. The skin of the mouth was chapped, and the aunt dripped milk on the lips of the younger brother, and the younger brother was unconscious.

When the uncle went out, he didn't ask for a doctor, but invited a Mr. Yin and Yang, the Mr. Yin and Yang with a mustache, pinched his fingers, saying that his younger brother was haunted by two little ghosts and wanted to be taken away to be a platform boy for the Dai prince in the village.

said that his younger brother was too beautiful and was taken by Lord Dai. At night, he exorcised the ghosts and drove the two little ghosts away, and his brother's illness was cured. The whole family believed it and looked forward to the coming of the night, so that Mr. Yin Yang could exorcise the ghost and save his brother.

In the dead of night, Mr. Yin Yang began to practice, only to see him with a bowl of water on his head, a pig-killing knife in his right hand, a torch in his left hand, and words in his mouth, running around the courtyard....... After tossing for a long time, I finally stopped, and the bowl of water turned red, and there were blood stains on the blade.........

Mr. Yin and Yang threw the torch, the water bowl, and the pig-killing knife on a wasteland outside the door, and said that they should be buried with soil. Two imps were killed by him, and the red color was the blood of the imps....... Wait until dawn to cure the child's illness.

Grandparents, aunts and uncles, thank you so much. Mr. Yin Yang took the uncle's money and went home happily. But the younger brother died before dawn.

Grandpa was angry and went to the Yin and Yang family to reason. Mr. Yin and Yang lowered his head, pinched his fingers, and said to his grandfather that the two little ghosts were killed by him, but Lord Dai was reluctant, or was recruited and became his boy, and he had no choice, who made your grandson look beautiful and was taken by Lord Dai... Grandpa was speechless after hearing this, so he had to go home.

Speaking of Dai Wangye, it's really amazing. He is unique in the village, in the middle of the village, there is a triangle, built a Tuanzhuang Fort, the east of the fort is the Daiwang Temple, the west is the theater.

The prince of Dai has a special person to worship, burn incense and worship all day long, and the fireworks are constant. During the New Year's Festival, singing a big opera, the people of the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, endlessly, came to the Lord of Dai, kowtowed to incense.

This story was told by Yue Chi's mother when he was young, and he was also uneasy because of the death of his cousin, so his parents took the two-year-old Yue Chi all the way to Xinjiang to beg for food.

This time, Yue Chi came to the uncle's house and happened to meet the sacrifice again, and Yue Chi followed the uncle to offer incense to the prince of Dai. Entering the Daiwang Temple, it feels very solemn, and the eight brothers of Daiwang on the altar are sitting upright in a row, vivid.

Four boys on both sides, holding trays in their hands, stood respectfully. Dai Wangye, who was wearing a red robe, sat in a sedan chair in the middle, with a white face and red lips, lifelike.......

But Yue Chi was not interested in these, he looked at the four station boys on both sides, his heart was uncomfortable, and tears flowed down involuntarily...... I thought, that's my brother.......

Uncle saw Yue Chi with tears in his eyes, and the uncle knew that if his son was still there, he would be as old as Yue Chi now. I also heard that there was a plane crash in the village, and Yue Chi fell from the plane but was unharmed, and the uncle still thought that this was the manifestation of the prince of Dai, and it was sheltered and safe for the sake of the boy's brother.

Yue Chi understands the state of mind of the uncle who misses his son, the deep-rooted tradition of the older generation is difficult to justify, if you don't believe it, the uncle will definitely be angry, and even more sad, you might as well follow the wishes of the elders!

When night fell, Yue Chi came out of his uncle's yard and took advantage of the charming moonlight to take a walk on the path at the entrance of the village, after all, this is where he was born.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and the night was late, and there was silence all around.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps broke through the silence of the night, and a young girl was running in despair in the winding alley, followed by a man in black.

The fragrant sweat oozing from the girl's fair skin completely wet the girl's white shirt, which looked extraordinarily transparent in the moonlight.

The girl's figure loomed over the rugged mountain road, and she looked particularly mischievous under the rapid panting.

And the girl probably didn't have the leisure to care about her embarrassed appearance, because she was running away from the man in black.

Yue Chi's heart tightened, and he frowned, in such a poor mountain village, there was even a hidden black hand. Yue Chi clenched his fists and secretly enjoyed himself, and happened to meet Lao Tzu who was angry!

The man in black saw the little girl slowly disappearing into the end of the narrow alley like a maze, and he suddenly changed direction and chased after her from the other side.

According to the direction of the village lights, the narrow lanes have gradually become wide. The little girl, knowing that she was about to be saved, rejoiced in her heart and immediately quickened her pace.

Suddenly, a figure appears in the middle of the alley exit. The little girl vaguely saw that the person was the man in black who was chasing her, and seemed to be still smiling at the little girl

The scene is very strange.

But the little girl had no time to care, and turned to run, but her physical exhaustion became slower and slower, and when she saw the man in black approaching, she tripped over the pothole in the road and broke her ankle.

The man in black stood in front of the little girl, showed a terrible face, and said viciously: "Run! Why don't you run away? You little girl! ”

When the man in black took out the rope and was about to tie up the little girl, Yue Chi stood up and yelled, "Let go of that girl!" ”

Against the backdrop of the moonlight, Yue Chi looked extremely handsome, and he slowly approached.........

"Big brother!" The little girl jumped up excitedly regardless of her eyes, and fell and hit Yue Chi's body.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black hurriedly fled in anger.

"Jing'er, are you okay, why are you here?" Yue Chi asked curiously.

"Big brother, Xin Hao, you appeared...... Otherwise......" said the little girl, crying.

"Jing'er, don't talk about it, didn't you save me too? However, it is so late, how dangerous it is for you to be out there alone! ”

Yue Chi became interested in Jing'er's life, although she was a primary school student, it seemed that Jing'er had an extraordinary story.
