Long Duoyun glanced at the doctor, holding the silver hairpin in one hand and the child in the other, walking there and standing behind the row of people. It was her turn for a while to register, and she was a little impatient, and she put the silver hairpin into the window, and knocked on the edge of the window, and in the window was a woman on duty, and asked, "What are you doing with the hairpin?" Registration only needs money, not hairpins.

Long Duoyun couldn't speak, and kept gesturing, and the woman understood a little: I don't know dumb language, anyway, registration needs money, you don't have money to go away, don't affect the registration of the people behind.

Long Duoyun refused to go away, still shaking the hairpin in front of the registration window. The woman was anxious, and said to those behind her, "Come here."

In this way, the person in the back said politely, and put the money into the window from the side, paid the money, received the prescription, and left; Not polite, he yelled at the dumb man blocking the window: If you don't register, you will go away, people don't want your hairpin, why do you rely on others?

Long Duoyun was very angry when he saw that the woman in the window ignored her, and slammed the registration window into a mountain, and the woman ran out of the duty room and yelled at her: "Get out, who wants your stinky hairpin?"

Seeing that a long line of people standing in line also grinned and reprimanded, Long Duoyun became more and more angry, only to see her raise her neck and open her mouth, throw it into the hairpin, and swallow it with one bone.

Someone watched her, and only after a long time shouted: Dumb suicide, dumb suicide. Long Duoyun led the child out of the hospital gate, and some people followed a few steps to watch the excitement and returned, but no one proposed to carry out medical rescue for this mute who risked his life.

Four days later, the body of a woman was found outside the Lotus Temple on the outskirts of the city, and when He Hao came to claim it, tears flew and he cried because it was his mute wife who died. His mute child has been rescued by the monks in the temple, and when He Hao was crying, the dumb child was getting an intravenous drip in a hospital, and he was accompanied by a kind monk.

The good men and women who came out of the Lotus Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha all came to look around, the female corpse died very miserably, the face was black, the skin was swollen, it was really sad, a mute man cried out to the sky and cried bitterly, and the people present were soft-hearted, and they were also accompanied by tears.

A woman of the same age as the deceased, a compassionate layman, kept chanting Amitabha, hoping that the deceased would be transcendent, while most of the others were whispering about the cause of the woman's death, was he killed? Or suicide? Outsiders don't know. The same is true for laymen. Since people cannot be resurrected after death, it is better to let the dead go beyond and let the souls of the dead rest in peace.

But she considered that she did not have the ability to surpass the dead, so she remembered the robed abbot of the temple. So, I returned to the temple and very reverently found the abbot to explain the intention. The abbot asked the layman to burn paper and incense in front of the incense burner, and he worshiped Amitabha Buddha and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and then sat on his knees, with the idea of the deceased woman outside the temple, slightly closed his eyelids, and quietly settled in Zen joy.

Suddenly, he saw the city god approaching, and said in his ear: "Monk, that woman can't be overwhelmed, her spirit has been taken away, and now she has passed the yin and yang realm, and she may be escorted to the city of vain."

The abbot said, "My Buddha is merciful, why did the envoy take that poor woman away so quickly?"

The monk didn't know that this woman was a man in her previous life, but because of her sins, she turned into a woman in this life, and she was a mute. After her death in the past life, her spirit was taken to the cell of a city god temple, and she had a relationship with the spirit of a man named Du Xiong, this man is named He Hao in this life, that is, the husband of the dumb deceased woman, he is also a mute, in the Yang world life is not over, today is crying outside the temple for the deceased wife. Monk, I advise you not to waste your mind, that woman was disgusted that the doctor did not give her son who had no money to pay for the medicine, so she committed suicide by swallowing hairpins to show her resistance.

The abbot opened his eyes and looked around, remembering what Chenghuang said, as if in a dream.

The lay priest who was waiting beside him arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Elder, for the poor woman's transcendent death."

Amitabha, the poor monk was very ashamed that the poor woman's soul had not been able to transcend. The abbot stood up and explained the cause and effect, and the layman listened intently, and sighed to himself.

After all, He Hao was a mute and had no ability to bury his deceased wife, and the people in the village handled the funeral of his deceased wife. Seeing that he was alone and helpless, staying at home and always staring at his deceased wife's urn in a daze, he didn't know where he had run away from his early flexibility? A wooden embarrassment. And it made the room dirty and smelled bad.

When his wife was gone, it was as if the sky was falling, and he had no more opinions, and he did not even get three meals a day, but if he was hungry, he ran to the village house on the south side, and when he saw people, he kept making gestures until they understood what he meant, and made him a meal. Otherwise, he will stand in front of someone else's house, as if to put pressure on someone.

For a mute to get only a little food is not demanding, most of the people in the village are satisfied with him. But he's not like other people who ask for rice, just take an empty bowl and hand it over to you to fill it with rice or something. He is different, always empty-handed, you also have to prepare a bowl for him to eat, someone thinks he is dirty, it is okay to give rice, but he is reluctant to give a bowl, as soon as he smells of his body, he frowns, and no longer intends to take back the bowl he has eaten, according to this, this family has begged for food, and also asked for a bowl, after eating, the bowl should still be there, and the next meal to another family to beg for food, there is no need for others to prepare a bowl, just hand over the empty bowl in his hand. But he had already lost the empty bowl in which he had eaten, and when it was time to eat, he stood in front of the door empty-handed.

After a long time, the people in the village hated him, and after discussion, they sent him to the town welfare home. At first, the welfare home refused to ask him, saying that most of the people in the welfare home were orphans and disabled elderly people, and there were very few young and middle-aged people, let alone lazy people. Although He Hao is a mute, he can do things to support himself.

There is another reason why the welfare institute refuses to accept it, and that is that he is notoriously dirty. After repeated work by town and village cadres, the welfare institute finally reluctantly accepted him. Before he was sent, the villagers caught him and pressed him in a large water tank to take a clean bath like a shaved pig, and the tank was full of clean water.

He Hao put on a set of half-new clothes, which was a suitable set of clothes selected from the donated clothes accepted by the welfare home. Guan Xinmin, the director of the welfare institute, specially asked him for a discussion, which was a routine, and every person who came in had to have a discussion and exchange. Guan Xinmin didn't know how to speak mute, so he invited a teacher who taught mute language from the deaf-mute school in the city, who could accurately introduce the words of ordinary people to the deaf-mute through mute, and also accurately introduce the sign language of the deaf-mute to ordinary people, and the teacher who taught mute became a medium or translator for mutual communication and communication between the deaf-mute and ordinary people.
