Trick 54 "Before the Age of Three"
I don't know if you have any memories of what happened before you were three years old, I think this question bothers many people. No matter how much people try to study speculation or give full play to their imagination, they will never be able to lift the veil of mystery.
Xiaoxing is my small hair, the kind that grew up bare-assed, and we are relatives according to generation, plus we live very close, so the two families will often move around on weekdays. At the time when Xiaoxing was more than a year old and had just learned to walk, a rather bizarre thing happened to him.
It was during a white event in the village that I heard the adults talking at the dinner table, and for a long time, families with children in the village would lock their doors every day before the sun went down.
One day, while the adults were eating dinner in the house, Xiaoxing, who had just learned to walk, suddenly pointed to the yard and said in a childish voice.
"Y-Why are you here?"
The adults were startled by this sudden sound and looked out of the courtyard, but there was no half figure in the courtyard. While everyone was confused, Xiaoxing got up and swayed and walked outside, although his steps were a little staggering, he still walked towards the courtyard step by step. Xiaoxing's mother quickly got up and caught up with Xiaoxing in two steps, hugged him, and asked with her hand caressing Xiaoxing's back.
"Baby, who do you see?"
Xiaoxing, who was blocked from going to the road, was a little impatient, and the voice of his mouth was getting louder and louder, and he desperately twisted his little body, trying to get out of his mother's block. Xiaoxing's mother was obviously frightened by Xiaoxing's performance, and the hand holding Xiaoxing loosened, and it was this gap that Xiaoxing got out and walked towards a corner of the courtyard. This time, Xiaoxing seemed to have instantly faded away from the immaturity of a child who was more than a year old, walked very steadily, and soon arrived in front of the yard hand-pressed well.
The adults who ate did not come forward again, but stood aside and watched quietly, and there would be some taboos or sayings in the countryside for children who were just born and before they went to school. So for Xiaoxing's strange performance, everyone waited and watched the changes first, only to see Xiaoxing stand still and ask again in a childish voice.
"Why are you here?"
After asking this sentence, the air in the courtyard seemed to drop a few degrees, and everyone was expecting and afraid that there would be a voice answering Xiaoxing's question, but after a while, there was no sound. Xiaoxing's mother couldn't hold back anymore, and walked over to pick up Xiaoxing, but this time Xiaoxing didn't struggle, but lay on her mother's shoulder and said something abruptly.
"Let's go, it's too late."
Xiaoxing's mother was stunned, and for a moment she didn't feel like she was holding a child, and after Xiaoxing said this, she lay on her mother's shoulder and fell asleep. Although the family was very surprised, they didn't pay attention to it, because some strange behaviors and strange words of children were also normal until the evening a few days later.
In the summer of the countryside, if everyone doesn't go to bed early at night, they will get together at the intersection or at the door to chat, this night, Xiaoxing's mother stood at the door and chatted with the neighbors after putting Xiaoxing to sleep, and Xiaoxing's father was at an intersection not far away. At about half past nine in the evening, Xiaoxing's mother, who was chatting at the door, vaguely heard someone talking at home, and when she was wondering, a woman's scream suddenly came from the house.
This made Xiaoxing's mother immediately nervous, turned around and ran towards the house, and several neighbors who chatted with her also followed. When several women rushed into the courtyard, they saw Xiaoxing standing in the courtyard, a mouse the size of a raccoon cat on the ground a few meters away, and Xiaoxing's side was a long-haired woman dressed in white. The big rat was grinning at Xiaoxing, and the long-haired woman in white seemed to be protecting Xiaoxing.
Several women were startled by this scene and screamed almost at the same time, and several men not far away also ran over when they heard the movement. Xiaoxing's mother rushed towards Xiaoxing without hesitation, and just as she was about to meet Xiaoxing, the long-haired woman in white suddenly disappeared. The big mouse saw that someone was coming, and also rushed out of the house, unfortunately, he happened to bump into a few men who were coming, and without too much hesitation, Xiaoxing's father picked up the stick on the ground and hit the mouse.
A few people who came with him also picked up the guy and chased the big mouse, just one round, Xiaoxing's father slammed a stick on the eyes of the mouse, only to hear the big mouse scream, one jumped out of the encirclement, and then ran towards the back of the house, and when everyone caught up, the big mouse was already gone.
After several people returned to Xiaoxing's house to learn about the specific situation with a few women, they all said that the matter was strange everywhere. The woman in white with long hair is certainly not human, and this big rat is not a good kind, if you want to solve it completely, you have to ask a gentleman who is a bit of a good way to see it. Xiaoxing's father looked at Xiaoxing, who was sleeping in Xiaoxing's mother's arms, and finally decided to ask a gentleman to come to the house to have a look.
After an acquaintance's introduction, Xiaoxing's father invited an uncle about fifty years old from a village in another town, dressed as an old peasant, with dark skin and a burly figure.
After Mr. arrived at Xiaoxing's house, he first looked around the house, then walked around the house, and finally carefully looked at Xiaoxing who was sleeping for a while, and then motioned for Xiaoxing's father to go out with him, and when the two walked to the gate, Mr. said to Xiaoxing's father with a serious face.
"Your son is a person who has not been involved in this life. It stands to reason that before the age of three is the time to digest and forget the karma of your previous life, but the feng shui position of your house is not good, which directly causes your son's memory of his past life to be sometimes sober and sometimes blurred, and fall into a state of chaos. ”
Speaking of which, the man took out a stack of yellow talismans from his bicycle bag and said to Xiaoxing's father again.
"Coupled with the entanglement of people from previous lives, your son's situation may become more and more serious, and eventually he will become a fool or a madman. The big rat must have come to seek revenge, and now that you have blinded it again, I guess the whole village of children of your son's age will suffer. ”
Hearing this, Xiaoxing's father also had mixed feelings, and in the countryside at that time, everyone would rather believe in superstitious things than believe them. Coupled with the occurrence of these strange things, Xiaoxing's father seemed to grasp the last straw, and hurriedly asked Mr. for a solution.
"Don't worry, it's not difficult, because the way of the big rat is not deep, you can gather the families of children under the age of three in the village, and then send this yellow charm down and stick it on the gate for seven days."
didn't question it much, Xiaoxing's father hurriedly divided the yellow fu according to Mr. 's instructions. For the next seven days, there would be many mouse carcasses at the corner of the village every morning, and at night, after twelve o'clock, there would be a sound of rustling around Xiaoxing's house.
It wasn't until seven days later that Mr. found Xiaoxing's father again and told him that the matter was over, and then gave Xiaoxing a talisman and explained that he could only take it off after he was three years old. Xiaoxing's father was also very grateful, gave Mr. some remuneration, and set a table to entertain him, but Mr. just accepted the remuneration and left.
Since then, as the gentleman said, no strange things have happened in the village. It wasn't until we were in school that the adults talked about it at the dinner table. Sometimes that's the case, no matter how big the matter, after the baptism of time, it will become a topic of conversation after dinner.
In this regard, I also heard an adult tell a story about a ghost before the age of three, which happened at the foot of a mountain in our place, and I will not explain more about what mountain, which has also been told in the previous story. It is said that there is a family surnamed Ma in the village under the mountain, and there is a boy about two years old in the family.
One day at noon, it was very hot, and the sun was high in the sky. The humidity mixed with the sunshine could not stop the mood of a few children in the village from playing. The little boy of the Ma family followed a few older children to play in a clearing at the foot of the village mountain, and around the clearing, there were many graves, all of which were old people of the village who had passed away.
The children are too young to be afraid, although the old people often tell them not to go there, there are tigers. But the children find it fun, and they want to find the tiger in the mouth of the adults.
When the game was rising, the sky suddenly darkened inexplicably, and a strong wind suddenly rose all around. Rotten leaves and mud and sand swirled and rustled around the Ma boy, and the atmosphere was instantly terrifying to the extreme. The other children around him were gone, and the boy of the Ma family felt that he was in the air, and he didn't have time to be afraid in his heart, and his brain didn't have time to think, and his eyes were black, and he fainted.
I don't know how long it took for him to wake up from his stupor, but it was no longer in the open space before, but in the large garbage heap far away from the clearing, under the slope beside the road, which was also the only garbage dump in the whole village.
The boy of the Ma family was lying at the bottom of the garbage heap in horror, after all, he was only a two-year-old child, how could he have experienced such a terrible thing. So he tried hard to climb up the garbage heap, but halfway through the climb and slipped down again, the boy of the Ma family couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his mouth and began to cry.
"Mom, Daddy, Grandma..."
In the midst of a chaotic scream, he climbed several times but failed, and at this time he cried more and more hoarsely, and only fear was left in his heart! At this moment, the boy of the Ma family suddenly felt as if someone was holding him up under his feet, and he looked down and saw his deceased grandfather.
In this way、I don't know how long it took, my grandmother found her grandson who had fallen asleep on the side of the road。 Immediately hugged him up with an anxious and frightened face, and couldn't stop muttering to himself.
"It's a ...... to disturb people and not to eat meat."
The grandmother cursed and kept calling her grandson's nickname, because she was afraid that the child would be frightened and lose his soul again, so she shouted like this, and it was said that she could bring the soul back.
Later, the little boy was taken home, and the family went to the open space where the child played and burned the paper money, and it was fine.
I heard the old people say from a superstitious point of view that at noon every day, the old people in the grave need to rest. Some ghosts are still reluctant to reincarnate and stay in the world, while the children's play and frolic make noise to their tranquility. So he cast a spell to let the children go, but the other children were a little older, and he was younger, so he was the most affected.
I've read a lot of analyses of people's worldview before the age of three, and if I follow it, I think that before the age of three should be the time when people digest the memories of their previous lives.
When you cry and laugh, when you are quiet, you are recalling your life experience in your previous life until you forget it.
