Chapter XVII
Once, on the way home from the market, he saw an old woman walking awkwardly with something on her back, and took the initiative to help the old woman carry her things back to her house when she was not on the way; once, when he saw a child accidentally break his head, he took the child to the doctor's house without thinking and treated it in time; once, he helped a robbed old mother, whose arm was cut and injured by the robbers; and on another occasion, he helped the child climb a big tree to get the wind fighting hanging on it, and so on.
In the village, he is also willing to help others, although someone deliberately ambushes him, but he still keeps helping them.
One evening, an old man of about 60 years old passed by their village and, seeing that it was getting dark, planned to spend the night on a haystack in a rice field. The old man took two bundled straws and put them on the ground, and was about to wade down when he was seen by the broken chapter of the ox driving home.
Out of context asked the old man: "Uncle, what are you doing here?"
The old man sat up and looked at the broken chapter, and replied, "It is getting late, and I want to sleep here for the night, and then I will go again tomorrow morning." ”
Out of context, he said: "Uncle, it's easy to dew outside in the middle of the night, and the humidity is very heavy, so it's better to come to my house to live." ”
The old man looked at him, felt his sincerity, and said, "Don't bother, it's the same as living outside, it's all used to it." ”
The invitation continued out of context: "Don't bother, there is still an empty house at home, and the outside is really not good for your health." ”
After many invitations out of context, the old man finally agreed. He drove the two oxen into the pen, threw two more dry straws at them, and led the old man into the house.
The family members are very enthusiastic when they see the arrival of guests, and their words are very tacit with each other, and they can clearly feel the happy atmosphere, and even the elderly feel as if they have returned to their own home. After a brief chat, the wife and the old mother went to prepare dinner, and the old father and the old father warmly accompanied the guests.
The old father said to the old man, "Brother, where are you going?"
The old man said, "I don't know, I know that I am not old, so I walk around and go with the flow." ”
The old father said: "I think that staying at home is the best old age, no matter how beautiful the outside is, there is no beauty at home." God treats me well, let me grow old and have children, and I have no regrets in my life. ”
The old man said, "My brother is really blessed to have such a filial child." I don't have this blessing, there is no one behind me. ”
The old father said: "My brother's fate is really bumpy, or you won't leave, stay with me as a companion, treat me as your son, and I will treat you as if I were a child." Broken Chapter also nodded enthusiastically and looked at the old man sincerely.
The old man really felt their intentions, and he didn't act at all, and he was frightened at this time: "Brother, this is absolutely unacceptable, I am grateful to be able to stay here tonight, how dare I still share your family affection, this really makes me panic." ”
"You call me brother, acquaintance is fate, there is no unacceptable. ”
The old man said, "No, I am very grateful for your kindness, but I still have to find someone, this matter is very important, and it cannot be put aside." ”
The old father said, "If there is something to do, there is no way, come back when you have done it, and you can also be my companion." Now stay at my house for three days, and it won't delay you, hahaha. The old father laughed openly.
The old man said, "This ...... Well, I haven't felt at home in years. ”
They warmly entertained the old man, and the old man was also radiant in the past three days, and he was very happy, so that he could reminisce about the taste of home, and he really wanted to stay for a long time. He also carefully observed the family, and secretly sighed: "This family should not appear in this mortal world, but in the paradise where there is no dispute with the world." ”
On the morning of the fourth day, the old man was still on his way after all. They ate together and said out of context: "Uncle, my mother and daughter-in-law have prepared some dry food for you, and you can take it on the road to eat." ”
"This ...... How can there be such a thing as packing when you are full, this is unacceptable?"
"Brother, you've done everything right, don't let down their kindness. ”
"Okay. Thank you so much, how can I repay you?"
The old father smiled and said, "You accept it as the best reward." ”
The old man was very grateful, and after a few seconds of consideration, he said: "Actually, I am a fortune teller, and I usually calculate small things for others on the road to earn some money." But even if you know about the big thing, you don't dare to say it, it can be said that the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed. ”
The old father smiled and said, "Oh, my brother is really hidden." ”
The old man said solemnly: "After my observation and deduction in the past few days, I have calculated a corner of your future. This corner involves the Heavenly Machine, which should not have been divulged, but in return, I still want to risk the curse of God to tell you. This may not be good news, do you want to know?"
Seeing that he was so serious, the family also became serious, and said out of context: "Uncle, you say." ”
The old man nodded when he saw the others, and said to his daughter-in-law who was out of chapter: "You are happy, it's only been a month, and it's a boy." ”
The whole family was first surprised, then suspicious, and all looked at the daughter-in-law. She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe, it's been delayed for five days, and it has always been quite accurate." ”
The family was all pleasantly surprised when they heard it, this is bad news, it is obviously good news.
Broken Chapter said excitedly: "Uncle, I don't see you taking my daughter-in-law's pulse, I know that she is happy, you are really a master." After a while, he continued: "That's good news, how can it be bad news?"
After everyone heard the question, they all looked at the old man, and the old man said: "The bad news is on this boy, he has an extraordinary life, and the eight characters are too big, which is not something that ordinary people can bear." ”
"Brother, let's be more detailed. ”
The old man said: "When he was 12 years old, he had six eons: the first eon, the year he was born, he would kill his grandmother, the second eon, the third eon, when he was three, his grandfather, the third eon, when he was six, his mother, the fourth eon, when he was nine years old, he would kill his father, and the fifth and sixth eons, both at the age of twelve, would kill himself. And the first four calamities must be willingly robbed by the people who have been defeated, and there can be no complaints, otherwise if the calamity fails, they will immediately kill themselves, of course, so that others will be fine. ”
The family members were stunned when they heard this, and said trembling out of context: "The legendary Heavenly Evil Lone Star?"
The old man said, "Not exactly, if he dies for the rest of his life, his fate will be reversed, but this seems to be a certain death! You're still young, and there's more to come. ”
The family looked at each other, how could this be, two young people looked at two old people. If he gave birth to this child and killed his parents, it would be really unfilial! But for the sake of his parents, he directly gave up his unborn relatives and flesh, how could he be worthy of being his parents!
But thinking that at the age of twelve, he would eventually kill himself, was the sacrifice of this family really worth it? The two young people really didn't know, they had never encountered such a difficult choice. The daughter-in-law looked at her husband and parents-in-law, clutched her stomach and slowly choked, as if she was ready to give up.
Trembling out of chapter, he looked at his daughter-in-law and said, "That...... We...... Or ......"
Without waiting for the words to be finished out of context, the old mother grabbed and said, "I am finally going to be a grandmother, I didn't expect to see my grandson in my lifetime, what a good thing." Isn't it, old man?"
When the old father saw his wife say this, he finally let go: "Well, God treats us well, so that the two of us useless people can still do a meaningful thing in the end and exert the last residual heat." It was a good deal, and suddenly it felt like life had never been so meaningful. ”
After hearing his parents say this, he burst into tears, turned to his daughter-in-law, and said, "We gave birth to him, let alone twelve years old, even if it is twelve months, I am willing to exchange my life for it." ”
Disembodied looked at his daughter-in-law with firm eyes, and the daughter-in-law slowly became calm, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, but she smiled: "Hmm." We've got kids, I'm going to be a mom, hehe. ”
At this time, the whole family laughed, and completely walked out of the sad atmosphere, and added a little joy. The old man saw that they were sincere, not only did not complain, but also had a little gratitude to the world. There is still such a family in the world, and the old man was also deeply shocked.
The old man said, "Now that you have made your decision, it may be a good thing." ”
Out of context, he said, "Thank you, uncle." ”
The old man said, "Well, I'll try to see if I can break this mortal situation." ”
When they had finished eating, the old man did not walk, but kept walking around his house, measuring the land with his feet until the sun went down.
At night, they sat together under the stars outside the house. The old man said, "Maybe there will be a turnaround." ”
Out of context, "Really?"
The old man said: "It's just that perhaps, the turning point is also on the last two eons when he was twelve years old, and the first four calamities are really unsolvable. ”
"That's great, that's enough." ”
The old man said, "I can help him survive one calamity, and the other calamity is up to him." ”
The whole family was very grateful, which meant that half the chance would pass, and asked, "How?"
The old man said, "After the birth of the child is named Interrupted, I will set out tomorrow to find something, and on the day of his birth I will come and put it in his body, and then I will answer a calamity for him, and the rest of the calamity can only be seen by himself." That's all I can do, so I'm sorry. ”
The whole family stood up and knelt down for him. The old man hurriedly helped them up: "I can't help it, I can't help it, you are tormenting me, get up, get up." ”
The next morning, the old man set off, and the whole family was immersed in joy. As time passed, the daughter-in-law's belly gradually grew bigger, and she was happy to help others as usual, and what the old man said to them was not mentioned to outsiders.
