Chapter 5: Yan'er's Story (1)
To say that it is not long, but twenty-five years ago after she incorporated the Xuanming mirror into her body to nourish, the old Taoist priest told her that she needed to spit out the treasure mirror every night when the moon was full, absorbing the power of Taiyin, and at the beginning, the old Taoist priest also had to take care of the apprentice, afraid that she would make a mistake, and when she became familiar with it later, the old Taoist priest didn't care, often at night he snored like thunder on the other side, and Gu Shiyi himself sat in front of the window and spit out to the moon.
So one day, it was also the time of the full moon on the fifteenth day of August, the power of Taiyin was the most complete time of the year, after Gu Shiyi spit out the treasure mirror, I don't know if there was something wrong in the vomit that night, after the power of Taiyin ran in the body for thirty-six weeks, Gu Shiyi opened his eyes and actually saw a little girl of five or six from the mirror.
This girl was born with an ordinary appearance, a dirty face, and messy hair, Gu Shiyi began to think that when he attracted the power of Taiyin, he attracted the lonely souls and wild ghosts nearby, and was thinking about whether to read a scripture to her and send her to reincarnation, but if you take a closer look, the clothes on her body do not look like people in this world, and this girl has no yin qi around her, she is a living person not a dead ghost, and she saw that the room behind her, all kinds of furnishings are different from here, so she looked at her more and more curiously.
It stands to reason that she peeked over there through the treasure mirror, which the child should not notice, but for some reason the little girl's eyes wandered, and suddenly met Gu Shiyi's eyes, the two looked at each other, and between the four eyes, the little girl suddenly screamed,
"Hell!"
After that, Gu Shiyi saw her excitedly called a middle-aged woman with a slightly bulging belly, the middle-aged woman looked at it and wondered, and then turned around and called a burly middle-aged man in.
Gu Shiyi looked at them curiously, and the two of them came in and swept over Gu Shiyi with blank eyes, both of them were puzzled, only the little girl pointed at Gu Shiyi and shouted,
"There are ghosts! Ghosts! There are ghosts! ”
The little girl's voice was sharp and thin, perhaps because she was too noisy, the middle-aged man's face finally showed an impatient expression, and he raised his hand to slap her in the face.
"Smack......
The girl covered her face, and the room was quiet, the middle-aged man looked very vicious, his face was full of meat, the girl was slapped, her little face was red and swollen, she didn't dare to cry, only tears rolled in her eyes, Gu Shiyi was only six or seven years old at the time, she only felt funny when she saw this, and she was still grimacing at the little girl in the mirror, the girl was scared and gasped, looking at the back of her parents who turned away, even if she was so frightened that her whole body trembled, but she was no longer called.
In the days that followed, as long as she exhaled the power of Taiyin after dark for thirty-six weeks, she could see the girl's face in the mirror, at first, the girl talked to people everywhere, and also called people to come and see, but no one could see the ghost she said, Gu Shiyi watched her gesture at people, pointing fingers, and then everyone looked at a daze, you have a sick expression, I think it is very interesting, I often laugh at it, but it adds a bit of fun to her boring wandering life.
The two of them have seen a lot in the back, and the little girl's courage has also been practiced, and she is no longer satisfied with the ghost in the village, after the two are familiar, they actually talked through the mirror, Gu Shiyi only knew that the girl opposite was called Li Yan'er, living in a small mountain village, with parents and grandparents at home, Li Yan'er is the eldest daughter at home, her parents have been wanting to have a son, and she gave birth to one before, but she died before she was one year old,
"Mom and Dad are now working in the town, saving money to have a younger brother, and my mom has a little brother in her womb for six months!"
Li Yan'er told Gu Shiyi like this, Gu Shiyi pouted,
"Your family is so poor, what sons do you have to give birth to, and can you support them?"
Gu Shiyi saw that the Li family was really poor, the mud house was dark and small, the furniture was tattered, and the clothes on the Li family were also old and torn, which was worse than following the old Taoist priest around, although she and the old Taoist sometimes lived in places like broken temples and ghost houses from time to time, but the old Taoist priest would catch ghosts, and every time he went to a town, he would ask around if there were any ghosts infested, they inherited a lot of aura when they broke away from the Hongmeng world in ancient times, and countless human races or other races were easy to become weird, Therefore, there are many things that mountain spirits and ghosts haunt the world, some of them have advanced Taoism, and after incarnating into adults, they will blend into the world, intermarry with mortals, and there are also those who are shallow and have gone to the evil way, and they will come out to harm and eat people, and bring disaster to the world.
So the secular government will invite some people with advanced magic skills to set up Qinglingwei, sit in various towns and cities, and specialize in killing demons and demons, and in addition to the cultivators who are supported by these official governments, there are also some disciples of the true Taoist sect who come out to practice, and they also want to get rid of demons and defend the way when they walk in the world, of course, there are also people like old Taoist priests who are dedicated to eliminating ghosts and catching demons, so as to accumulate money and support their families.
The old Taoist's spells are also called third-rate outside, but it is not a problem to catch some little ghosts and demons, and when he meets the rich gentry and magnates who are generous, he is a piece of gold as soon as he makes a move, and the reward he gets is enough for their master and apprentice to eat and drink spicy food for a while, but the old Taoist priest does not dare to stay in one place for a long time for the sake of the treasure mirror, so he leads his apprentices to wander around, hiding in the east, but if you want to say that you have eaten and seen, Li Yan'er is not as good as Gu Shiyi.
So in Gu Shiyi's opinion, it is unreasonable for Li Yan'er's family to be poor and have a son.
"My father said, with a son, our Li family can pass on the incense, otherwise our Li family will have broken roots!"
Gu Shiyi was very puzzled,
"We are here, and our daughter can also inherit the family business......"
Like her, according to her identity, she is the eldest daughter of the long house, if she is not married, she can recruit a son-in-law at home, and the child born is the same as the long house, if she has enough ability, she can take charge of the entire family, like she has a grandmother in front of her who is a woman in charge, and the Gu family has been very beautiful in her hands for a while!
Not to mention Gu Shiyi's incomprehension of the Li family's insistence on their son, the Li family's parents really turned their luck after working in the town, although Li's father was vicious, but there was a brute force, with the willingness to work hard, he actually made a lot of money, and when Li's mother gave birth to a son, they bought a yard in the town, took their parents and Li Yan'er to the town, and let Li Yan'er go to school.
Li Yan'er arrived in the town, she has been carrying a small mirror by her side, that is when she was in her hometown, a broken mirror broken by others on the side of the road, at that time the family was really poor, she was a girl, not treated by the elders, not even a mirror to comb her hair, she picked up a piece on the side of the road and went back, I didn't expect it to be this mirror, so that she has a best friend who grew up with her, although this best friend can't jump rope with her, turn flowers, kick shuttlecock, but this best friend can hide in the bed with her and whisper, Tell her about the novelty of another world.
The two of them grew up together with two mirrors, Gu Shiyi let Li Yan'er know, the other world is like a mythical story, there are really thousand-year-old foxes, 10,000-year-old turtles and turtles, some people know the Tao, can resist the wind and fire, and the flying sword takes people's lives, and Gu Shiyi followed Li Yan'er into school, followed the literacy and reading, and the people who know this world will not cultivate the truth but can make all kinds of machinery to move mountains and reclaim the sea and change the world.
After that, Li Yan'er's family gradually became richer, and Gu Shiyi watched their home add TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, etc., all the things that her world did not have, and through the small square box, she knew the bigger world beyond this town.
Gu Shiyi likes the convenience of Li Yan's place,
"You are ordinary people who don't need to fly against the wind, you can travel thousands of miles in a day, very good!"
Although the aura is depleted there, and the cultivation has long been extinct, there is another civilization with the development of science and technology, but it has embarked on two different paths from his own world.
But Li Yan'er is envious of Gu Shiyi's green mountains and green waters,
"Your place is good, full of spiritual energy, and even plants and trees can be turned into essence, unlike us here...... Now I can't even see the blue sky and clear water......"
That's just as well!
The two of them have a common dislike, and the pollution in Li Yan'er's area is indeed serious......
Li Yan'er's life in this world is much more exciting than Gu Shiyi's side, the two best friends in the next world, watch books and chase dramas together, scold the scumbag tea girl together, and dislike the Wumao special effects together, which is also quite smelly, but the tastes of the two men are very different, Li Yan'er likes white-faced and handsome Sven men, such as a certain ancient type that is not tanned, but Gu Shiyi prefers mature men, she doesn't look at her face, as long as she has six-pack abs and vest lines, she loves them all, especially her taste is heavy, and European and American men like it even more, such as boulders.
Gu Shiyi often sighed,
"It's good where you are, in the summer, the streets are bare-chested, and you can show your thighs and breasts, like us...... ...... tightly covered one by one"
If she wants to see her muscles, she has to secretly climb the wall to see those nurses take off their clothes and practice boxing, which is so inconvenient!
Li Yan'er didn't think so,
"I think that everyone in you is polite, and everyone is serious, which is better than the etiquette and happiness here here!"
Speaking of this, both of them immediately felt that they had the wrong birth, and it would be nice if they could exchange them for each other!
Li Yan'er's family is patriarchal, after the family has a younger brother, her grandmother is old, her parents are busy earning money, and housework falls on her shoulders.
Father Li is an extremely short-tempered person, especially after earning money in the town, he loves to drink two sips, and after drinking, his wife and daughter will be beaten and scolded by him, but Father Li loves his son very much, and always thinks that it is the root of his old Li family, and he dotes on his younger son very much, and he is used to the younger son going to the house to uncover the tiles since he was a child, beckoning cats and teasing dogs, and the neighbors are disgusted.
When Li Yan'er was twelve years old, her grandmother passed away one after another, and Li's father had no old man, and he acted more and more presumptuously, and as the town became more and more open, a small hair salon massage shop was opened in the town.
"I have a son for self-defense, how can he play outside, for the sake of his son, he will eventually come back!"
Li's mother is not wrong, Li's father plays outside and spends again, and his son still has to raise it, he uses the excuse that he is busy with business, comes back to live for two days a week, and then takes some money back to support the family of three.
Li's mother is an ordinary rural woman, she has given birth to three children, her appearance and figure are definitely not as good as the little sister in the hair salon, Li's father doesn't want to sleep with her when she comes back, she drinks when she comes back, and she falls asleep after drinking.
If you just drink, forget it, but after he drinks alcohol, he will start beating people, Li's mother saw that the situation was not good, so she led her son to hide, Li Yan'er couldn't hide if she wanted to, she still had to serve Li's father at home, so she was beaten a lot, Gu Shiyi saw it in his eyes, he was anxious and distressed, and he also taught Li Yan'er some self-defense tricks, but she could only rely on her mouth through the mirror, and what she could teach Li Yan'er was limited.
She also wanted to teach Li Yan'er some spells, the spiritual power in that world had long been exhausted, even if she learned it, she couldn't use it, Li Yan'er learned a few tricks to embroider her legs, and she didn't use it very much against Li's father's 1.8-meter-tall man, and the violent beating that was ushered in by a slight resistance became more and more intense, and the next day Li's father woke up from drinking, screamed and scolded, and even Li's mother had to scold Li Yan'er together,
"What's wrong with you letting your dad beat you a few times, I gave birth to you and raised you and I can't beat you?"
"It's all your fault, your dad is working hard to earn money outside, he was angry outside, came back and scolded a few words, what happened to a few beatings, you made him angry, he didn't run outside, and now he ran to the woman again, if your dad doesn't care about our mother and son, I drink the northwest wind with your brother!"
Li Yan'er was a small force, so she had no choice but to endure it, just looking forward to growing up quickly, taking her own little mirror, leaving home far away, leaving this town, and never coming back!
Li Yan'er has such an idea, and she works very hard to study, so her grades have always been among the best, and her college entrance examination results are also very good, and she was admitted to a prestigious university.
"What are women doing when they read so many books, they are all eighteen years old, marry Lao Tzu early, so as not to eat Lao Tzu's white rice at home!"
A friend who did business with him advised him,
"Now whose children don't study, your eldest girl has good grades, let her study, become a college student, and marry a good family in the future, you have a good son-in-law, go out to have a face, and you can also help in business!"
Father Li is right when he thinks about it, if he marries a good family, he can also help his brother in the future, right?
So he scolded her for going to college, but Li's father naturally didn't know that his daughter had long been disgusted with this family, and made up her mind that she would look for a job outside after graduating from college and never come back.
