Next Chapter

The government and the opposition are turbulent, the dynasty changes, and the old saying goes: "There are many demons in troubled times." The remnants of the late Qing Dynasty shouted: "The real dragon is gone, can you not be without the ghost? "Although they were talking nonsense, soon the world was even more chaotic, the warlords were divided, there were wars everywhere, more people died, and more and more strange things happened. There was no way, so he secretly set up the Heaven Observation Bureau to deal with more and more frequent unnatural events, and the predecessor of the Heaven Observation Bureau was the famous Qin Tianjian.

In the eighth year of the Republic of China, when the whole country was in turmoil, the night of the small mountain village in Yunnan fell, the lonely stars and the bright moon selflessly threw the soft light on the small mountain village caressed by the breeze, the mountain was full of maple trees, it was the season when the maple leaves were fiery red, but the wind in late autumn was not very cool, as if it was a special care for the mountains of Yunnan. However, an old tiled house under an old locust tree with a crooked neck in a small mountain village is still shining with a faint yellow light late at night, and the quiet little mountain village is so quiet that even the moonlight seems to be frozen. Under the dim oil lamp in the house, a middle-aged couple is looking at the child who is not crying on the bed, and the eyes are not all loving, but more like, deep, fear and entanglement!

The couple is the residents of Qingshan Village, a small mountain village in Yunnan Province, which was originally so peaceful and that nothing major had happened, but it was the birth of this child that broke the original tranquility of Qingshan Village. This ordinary couple is an ordinary villager in Qingshan Village, Fei Yunlong and his wife Li Yujiao, a loving couple, who have been married for more than ten years and have never had children.

After all, Qingshan Village is a village in the mountains, and the transportation is not convenient, one day, Fei Yunlong went to the market ten miles away from Qingshan Village to catch the morning market. The mountain road is really difficult, when Fei Yunlong walked hard for most of the noon before he could reach the bazaar, the things have not been bought at noon, the sun is scorching, he is a rough man in the mountains, Fei Yunlong is also very hungry, and he turned into a small restaurant on the corner of the street after making a package of things that have been bought. "Come to a bowl of noodles, Lao Zhang. With that, Fei Yunlong found a cleaner table and put down the package. The people on the street who didn't have time to go home all started to walk in in twos and threes, talking and laughing. They were all from several nearby villages, and Fei Yunlong greeted them warmly. Crackling, the spicy smell of green onion and ginger spread throughout the store, smelling the familiar smoke and fireworks, Fei Yunlong's stomach seemed to be greatly satisfied, and he cooed. "Well, Lao Fei is more anxious than you are in this stomach!" Lao Zhang said, bringing up a large bowl of steaming noodles. Fei Yunlong smiled, but the movements in his hands did not lag behind, and he ate noodles in a big gulp.

Suddenly, a ragged beggar seemed to follow the scent of this world, his hair was dirty, and his eyes were staring straight at the face on Fei Yunlong's table. Fei Yunlong was a good person, and at this time, he realized the hardship of beggars, and he got up with compassion and invited the unhappy beggars to his side. "Lao Zhang, come to another bowl of noodles, hurry up!" Fei Yunlong shouted loudly to Lao Zhang, who was busy with his work. "Okay, Lao Fei, you're really hungry today!" Lao Zhang reacted and responded loudly.

Fei Yunlong smiled and didn't explain. Soon, Lao Zhang brought up the prepared noodles, and also understood the reason why Fei Yunlong called for another bowl of noodles, and gave Fei Yunlong a thumbs up with the people around him. "Eat, I'll invite you. Fei Yunlong was a little embarrassed in the face of the praise of the people around him for the good deeds of his couple over the years. The beggar listened to the praise of the people around him for Fei Yunlong, picked up the chopsticks thoughtfully, and began to eat noodles in small bites, unlike the rough eating of Fei Yunlong and others, the beggar ate very elegantly.

Most of the surrounding diners left with one or another trivial matter, and finally, except for Lao Zhang, who was busy outside, there were only two people left in the store, Fei Yunlong and the beggar, and it was at this moment that the beggar slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand. "Is there any smoke?" the beggar looked up, his eyes wary and tired. "Yes. As he spoke, he handed the beggar the large front door and matches in his jacket pocket. The beggar skillfully lit a flame and lit a cigarette. "Happy, I didn't expect that I, Xu Haoyuan, would be able to eat a bowl of noodles and smoke a cigarette before I died, and die without regrets. Xu Haoyuan slowly exhaled the smoke ring and said. "Brother Xu has encountered something difficult, saying such frustrating words. Fei Yunlong hurriedly stepped forward and asked. "It's okay, the deadline is approaching, I'm afraid this time it's really powerless. Xu Haoyuan lowered his head again.

"Brother Fei, can I ask you for something?" Xu Haoyuan thought that he suddenly thought of something, and knelt down at the table. "What are you doing? Fei Yunlong hurriedly helped Xu Haoyuan up. "I, Xu Haoyuan, have never knelt down to others in my life, nor have I begged anyone, non-brother, I just want you to help me keep some things. With that, Xu Haoyuan took out the things in his arms and solemnly handed them to Fei Yunlong. "It turns out that I just keep some things, don't worry, Brother Xu, when you come to me for this thing, I will return it to you." Fei Yunlong took a general look at the package on the table, but it was nothing more than a pendant, a tiger-shaped bronze vessel, and a book without a cover. "I can't come to you to get it, I have someone to get it in the future, I'm leaving, non-brother, you can go back quickly." ”

As if he had a premonition, he hurriedly walked out of the small restaurant, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Fei Yunlong was surprised, and followed Xu Haoyuan's advice and hurried back. When I got home, it was late at night, and Li Yujiao was still waiting for Fei Yunlong. Seeing his wife, Fei Yunlong calmed down a little, because he was afraid of scaring his wife, Fei Yunlong did not tell his experience, and after packing up the things entrusted by Xu Haoyuan, he accompanied his wife to sleep.

That night, Li Yujiao had a dream. Li Yujiao dreamed of a man wearing a dragon robe, with a crown of beads on his head, a face like a crown of jade, eyes like stars, and a simple long sword, like a god. He told Li Yujiao: "Your husband and wife are destined to have no children, and you are kind to Lonely, and I will temporarily make a fate between Lone's remnant soul and you." With that, he turned into golden light and entered his stomach. Then Li Yujiao woke up suddenly, she woke up her husband Fei Yunlong in a panic, and told her husband Fei Yunlong's dream, her husband Fei Yunlong smiled and comforted her: "Isn't it just a dream? Don't take it so seriously." The woman looked at this honest man and thought it was a dream, and her hanging heart was also relaxed.

In this way, after three months, when Fei Yunlong and Li Yujiao almost forgot these things, Li Yujiao's belly grew bigger day by day. found the old Chinese medicine doctor in the village and got the gratifying news that Li Yujiao was pregnant. The husband and wife are also very excited, Fei Yunlong also loves his wife more, and good things are done more frequently, and they do not give up because they have children, Fei Yunlong Li Yujiao and his wife have also become famous well-wishers in Xiaoqingshan Village, eight months have passed in a blink of an eye, and suddenly Li Yujiao felt a stomachache, and she hurriedly called her husband Fei Yunlong, "I am so painful, my stomach hurts." "Go and call Aunt Liu" Aunt Liu has been a midwife in the village for many years. Fei Yunlong hurriedly went to find Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she trotted to Fei Yunlong's house. Because it was a premature birth, Aunt Liu felt in danger, Aunt Liu told Li Yujiao's husband Fei Yunlong, go boil hot water, and then get busy herself, fortunately, the mother and child were safe and gave birth to a boy.

Because it was born prematurely, the child looked very thin, and the child did not cry after birth. Aunt Liu pointed to the child, "His eyes, ah" At this time, the man saw that the child's eyes were open, one pure white, one pure black, which was extremely unlucky, and it was said that it could attract nearby demons. Aunt Liu screamed and ran out and told the village chief. The next day, the village chief came and told the couple to either leave Qingshan Village with the child or leave the child in the mountains and leave without looking back. The night was coming quickly, and the man looked at the woman, still not making up his mind, and when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and when he came out to see, it turned out to be a middle-aged man in a tunic suit. "It's too dark to get lost, can I ask for a hot cup of tea?" said the man in the tunic suit.
