People live for a lifetime, what they lend should be taken, and what they owe must be repaid, otherwise the sins of the previous life will accumulate more and more, once you have saved enough, you will have unjust relatives and creditors in your previous life to settle accounts, which is called longevity debt, also called yin debt. Once the creditor comes to the door, it will cause disaster at the least, or harm the three relatives at the worst, and even worse, just like me.

These words came from the mouth of a fortune teller, and it haunted me like a spell for most of my life.

When I was a child, people in the village scolded me for being a longevity cub, children didn't play with me, adults hid when they saw me, and even when I slept at night, my mother had to tie a red rope to my left ankle bone and nail it to the edge of the kang with a coffin, saying that she was afraid that the unjust creditors would pull me away in the middle of the night.

The reason why this is the case is related to a strange story in our village back then.

On July 14 of that year, after several days of heavy rain, Changbai Mountain discharged floods, and when the flood water rushed down the ravine, it was the middle of the night, and the rumbling ghosts were crying wolves, like something hiding in the water and crying. Later, it was rumored in the village that it was a group of mountain spirits and wild ghosts in Changbai Mountain who took advantage of the water potential to go down the mountain to collect debts, because that day happened to be the Midyear Festival, and the day when the ghost gate was opened in folklore to take revenge.

At that time, my mother was eight months pregnant, as soon as she heard that there was water, she hurriedly ran with the villagers to the north slope of the high ground under the heavy rain, but as soon as she ran to the foot of the mountain, my mother began to roll with her stomach, and the people around her found that her amniotic water had broken.

Fortunately, my third uncle, Mr. Zhang, was kind-hearted, and when he passed by, he saw my mother lying in a puddle waiting for death, so he quickly grabbed his wife and said, "Inside the house, it is important to save people!" Find a place for her to give birth first! ”

After the third master finished speaking, he picked up my mother and went to the woods, because he knew that the only place near here that could shelter from the rain was the long-abandoned mountain ghost temple in the forest.

It is said that it is a mountain ghost, in fact, the temple is for the old head of the mountain god of Changbai Mountain, according to legend, the old head is surnamed Sun, is the ancient time in the mountain digging ginseng people, and later died tragically in the mountains to save his brother, after his death became a mountain god but never regarded himself as a god, but incarnated as an old mountain ghost, in the mountains to rescue the lost mountain walkers, hence the name.

In the early years, most of the people in Changbai had the habit of worshipping mountain ghosts, because it is said that the old mountain ghosts were in charge of the life and death of the people of Changbai Mountain.

Later, it was not until the 70s that these old customs were terminated due to some irreversible reasons, and the temple was also looted, and no one went after that.

That night, when my mother was carried into the temple by the three masters, she was so painful that she couldn't stand, and she collapsed on the ground and was about to give birth.

The three masters were anxious, but they also knew that there was a difference between men and women, so they ran to the gate of the temple to control the wind, leaving the three mothers inside to wait for the midwife, so that they could call him if there was something.

The three mothers were from here, and they were afraid that my mother would faint in pain and suffocate the fetus to death, so she picked up a stone and grabbed it for her, so that she could adjust her breathing and relax as much as possible. But she was still in a heart-rending pain, and when she was scratching, she inadvertently looked up, and just saw the old mountain ghost statue that was so rotten that only half of her head was left.

At that time, she was already in a trance, so she cried at the mountain ghost statue at the throat: "Old man of the mountain ghost, you have mercy, this child has no father, as long as he is born safely, you will be his father in the future, I will let him support you for the rest of his life, and repay your boss's kindness!" ”

I don't know if it's a coincidence or the appearance of the mountain ghost, when she was crying, the roof of the temple collapsed with a bang, and a temple flag hanging on the top floated down, just covering my mother's stomach.

When the three mothers saw it, they quickly picked up the temple flag and shouted to the three masters guarding the door: "Boss, come and wash the flag, there is a shortage of cloth!" ”

But even shouted several times, but the three masters were indifferent.

My mother and the three mothers both felt strange, turned their heads to look at the temple gate, and saw the three masters standing straight on tiptoe, staring straight out of the door, and holding a wooden stick in their hands that they had picked up out of nowhere, hiding behind their backs like an upside-down sword.

At that time, the place where my mother gave birth was in the corner of one end of the temple wall, and the view was blocked by the wall, so I couldn't see the scene outside the temple, but every time there was a flash of lightning from outside the temple, I could vaguely see rows of black shadows shining on the ground inside the temple gate.

Looking at the face of the third master by the light of lightning, I saw that his face was pitch black, his eyes were white, and blood was still oozing out of his eyelids under his left eyelid.

The two women in the temple were frightened by this situation, and they were at a loss, when the three masters suddenly raised their hands and pointed outward, shouting like singing a big opera: "You are the evil spirit of the mountain, there is no place to take root in life, there is no place to be buried in death, and it is hateful to not cultivate the good way now!" Huangquan Pass, the Palace of the Son of Heaven, Yin Si is in charge of eight million soldiers, how can Rong Er and others be presumptuous! ”

After the third master finished speaking, he rushed out of the door, and then he heard the thunder outside, the wind was even more wild, and there was a fierce fighting and crying strange scream, which lasted for about a few minutes, and the strange sound began to get farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared.

The three mothers wanted to go out to see what was going on, but first, my heart was furious, and secondly, half of my little head had been exposed, and the three mothers were dragging her hands carefully out, and as soon as she let go, I had to hold back, and my mother and I couldn't live.

There is no way, she can only care about the life and death of our mother first.

Later, I was busy until the fourth watch, and my mother finally gave birth to me, but I didn't cry or open my eyes, just like a dead child, the three mothers were frightened, and hurriedly lifted me upside down and patted me on the back, but it was still useless.

The three mothers had no choice, so they could only persuade my mother: "Xiu'er, as the saying goes, seven lives do not live eight, this baby is stuck when you are eight months old, this is not fate with you, I don't want to leave your family to reincarnate, you want to open a little......"

This persuasion made my mother cry even more.

The three mothers persuaded again: "Just cry and cry, sister-in-law will take this dead baby out and bury it for you, there should be no such thing......"

She had good intentions, but as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly snapped out of thin air, and the three mothers screamed, instinctively covering her cheeks, and when she calmed down and took her hand away, there was a purple-red and purple-red slap print on her face, as if she had been slapped in the air......
