The snow was heavy, carried by the night mountain wind, and it seemed that the trees that had been made over thousands of years could not resist it, and the wind and snow swayed powerlessly until dawn.

In fact, the most despicable thing in this world is nothing but people. This is true, because people can survive in any environment, whether rich or poor, for a lifetime.

Three days before the appearance of the sky vision.

In the early morning of the royal city, the nobles and lords were still sleeping in the gentle country, while the poor people had already woken up from hunger and cold. Under the excesses and miscellaneous taxes, the people are miserable. But the good thing is that the people will always be the people, and as long as there is still a mouthful of food to eat and a piece of tile to cover their bodies, they will all live in peace. It has been this way for thousands of years.

The market is surprisingly lively in the early morning, and months of heavy snow have brought despair to the poor and business opportunities for the wealthy merchants. Before dawn, several merchants in Wang Chengnei had already asked the men to put the oil and rice on the side of the road, and the price of the ice and snow was naturally several times that of usual.

The inferior boy has two cups of corn, five quintals of wheat with medium strength, and ten catties of cotton and one catty of salt for the superior beauty. Strong laborers were to be trafficked to other countries as slaves, while handsome women and beautiful boys were to be screened and sent to the palace as favorites.

Slowly evolved into a legal population market. Officers and soldiers collected tax money, and from then on there was an endless stream of horse-drawn carts full of slaves to other countries, and merchants from neighboring countries would barter here, and it was also very lively.

Early that morning, while the merchants and the poor were busy with each other, a dusty wandering monk appeared on the side of the street, sitting on a slave wagon in the snow and waiting for alms.

But people can't even feed themselves, where will anyone come to give to him?

So this is really a new thing, I saw the slave merchant next to him sneering at the monk, "Monk, what are you doing here?"

The monk said, "The monk is here to save people." ”

His voice was flat, his eyes hadn't been opened, and the man sneered. Then he said to the monk: "The monk is afraid that he is hungry, and he doesn't want to think that you are dying of hunger, and who can you save if you can't even save yourself?"

The monk's eyes opened, he looked at the numb and desperate crowd in front of him, and said flatly: "Saving others is saving yourself, and the monk saves the people who want to be saved." ”

"Crazy bald donkey. The slave merchant spat on the ground fiercely, pointed to the slaves in his car and shouted: "Do you hear, this monk is afraid that he wants to save you, do you want to be saved?"

The slaves shook their heads tremblingly, and the merchant scolded, "Poor bones! ”

The slaves hesitated, and another merchant beside him also advised him why he should be angry with a poor monk? I saw the merchant scolding and scolding: "I just can't get used to this kind of fool, and if I believe in Buddhism, I can eat enough to save people? If that Shilaozi thing works, then who else will we make money? Spit, whoever vomits, will have a full meal tonight!"

Lured by the feast, the slaves no longer seemed to be confused, and they scrambled to spit on the monk, but the monk remained motionless in the ridicule of the crowd, as still as a stone in the wind.

The slave merchant smiled arrogantly, and then said to the monk, "Mad Buddha, do you still want to save them?"

The monk said calmly, "As long as they want to save themselves." ”

With that, the monk began to chant in a low voice, but the sound of his chanting was quickly drowned out by the ridicule and ridicule around him, until a red and swollen hand appeared in the cold.

The hand squeezed out of the laughter, and with some hesitation, he put a piece of rough dough into the monk's bowl, and the monk opened his eyes, only to see a woman in a rough coat smiling at her with some embarrassment.

This woman looks quite young, and she is only twenty-one or two. With a beautiful face but a little haggard, the thick cotton jacket could not cover the still round and bulging abdomen, and she was a young pregnant woman.

Everyone was watching the slave merchant play with the monk, but they didn't expect that someone would really give alms to the monk at this time, and the sharp-eyed ones had already recognized who the pregnant woman was. She was originally the daughter of the late tailor Ji on the edge of the city, and her name was Ulan. On this day, I went to the street to buy food, and I was afraid that I would pass by and see that this monk was pitiful, so I gave him a cake.

The slave merchant also knew this Ulan, so he smiled at her mockingly: "What's the matter, Sister Ulan, your family has so much food that you can't eat it and want to give it away?"

Wulan smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said weakly: "My lord's business is prosperous, my father worshiped the Buddha before his death, and told me not to treat the monks and monks badly, so that the adults laughed." ”

"Phew!" the merchant spat on the ground again, and whispered, "I'm afraid that your father was angry with you because he believed in Buddhism." ”

After that, the merchant turned around and drove away in a carriage full of slaves, and the crowd dispersed, while Na Ulan squatted on the ground and said to the monk: "Master, you have come to the wrong place, the people in this city are not good, and they will not provide for you, I will give you some pasta, you can go southwest, I heard that the city over there is better." ”

The monk looked at Ulan in front of him and said to her, "Since the donor understands that there is a rich life, why should he stay here?"

Ulan smiled, and then said to him: "I can't go, I'm going to wait here for someone to come back, and when he arrives, of course we will go............ Don't talk about it, master, you should go quickly, it will be difficult to leave when it is late and dark. ”

Ulan casually stroked her abdomen as she spoke, and the monk realized the difference between her and the people of this city, her eyes were tired but clear.

So the monk got up and nodded at Ulan and said, "Even so, the monk has thanked the female donor, and the monk has a few words to give to the female donor, can you?"

Ulan nodded, and the monk said: "The star map changes to give birth to a new star, and the sound of horses' hooves is accompanied by the wind and snow night. When the snow stops, disaster is coming, so first look at the shadow of yourself on the ground. Fortune and misfortune must be determined by themselves, and the Buddha is in the old temple in the north of the city. ”

After he had finished a few tongue-twisting words, he bowed to Ulan and folded his hands, then turned and left.

Ulan didn't understand the monk's words, she shouted at the monk: "Master, you are wrong, that side is not the west!"

The monk didn't look back, but just laughed loudly: "Since I came from the west, I won't go back like this!"

Ulan was stunned, and there was a trance in front of him, and the monk had disappeared into the crowd. And Ulan was confused and didn't think about anything, turned around and walked in the direction of home.

As soon as Ulan turned around, the two women who were watching the excitement just now began to discuss, and one of the women sneered: "I think this girl is really crazy, people can't eat enough, and she gives food to the monk." ”

The other continued: "Isn't it, if she is not crazy, she can make her father angry to death? I don't know whose wild seed she is carrying in her belly, and now she dares to go out, it's really shameless." ”

After hearing this, Ulan looked back at the two women, and then said with a smile: "Third aunt, my father has helped your family many times before, and now he has died of a serious disease, is it appropriate for you to say that?"

The two women hurriedly turned around and said nothing, while Ulan sighed and returned home.

Ulan's home, originally a jacket shop in the north of the city, that is, a tailor's shop, had some savings a few generations ago, and his father was helpful during his lifetime, so he had a good reputation.

But at the beginning of the year, Boss Ji suddenly fell ill and left within two months, and Ulan's mother passed away early, leaving Ulan alone to support the store. It's also strange that not long after Ulan's father died, Ulan was pregnant, and everyone didn't know who that man was.

The neighbors gossiped and said that Boss Ji was angry with this ugly thing that Ulan did.

Ulan's family is good, even though he is pregnant, there are still many matchmakers who come to protect the media. But she politely declined, and asked her why she didn't give an explanation, and slowly, the neighbors thought that maybe her brain was broken, and some more ugly rumors followed.

However, rumors have not been heard since ancient times, and Ulan's experience may only be known to her.

Counting the days, Ulan's birth date is coming soon, plus the snow has been falling for days, so after that purchase of food, she never went out again, and was at home around the stove to make the clothes that the children would wear in the future, accompanied by only the big white dog sleeping by the stove.

Strange to say, Ulan has been restless for the past two days. I dreamed that day, I dreamed that the city was full of fires, and the officers and soldiers burned and plundered, and the people who were killed were all pregnant women, and the blood of those pregnant women stained the snow red, and the cries were continuous, and she was not spared, just when the butcher's knife was about to cut at her, she suddenly woke up from a dream, and after waking up, she found that her clothes had been soaked with sweat.

She kept reassuring herself that it was just a fantasy, but who knew that this nightmare had been going on for three nights in a row.

"Ahh

After Ulan calmed down, he got up and patted the big white dog's head, and then said to himself: "It's okay, it's okay, why is this dream again?"

She was so frightened by this strange dream that had been the same for three nights in a row, and where was she still sleepy? So she put on her clothes and got out of bed, and the room was hazy, and it was evident that it was almost dawn again.

Ulan lit the oil lamp and came to the window, she had been snowing heavily for months, and it was about to stop. This is really a good thing, at least no one will freeze to death again, Ulan sighed, then looked at the sky, and suddenly, her expression froze.

She saw a star in the clear night sky, a star that she had never seen before, and it was really big and amazing, with a strange light. Ulan had never seen the star before, so he looked at it for a while before he sat down at the table and began to knit his clothes.

And there was an ominous premonition in her heart for no reason, as if she had forgotten something very important in her mind, she thought about it attentively, and the tip of the needle pierced her hand carelessly, and a burst of pain came, and Ulan 'Ah', and suddenly remembered the words that the monk You Fang had said to her a few days ago.

Ulan hadn't understood the monk's meaning before, but at this moment, she felt that the monk's words seemed to have a deep meaning.

"Is the first sentence of the revelation that the master said to me before?"

She desperately recalled those few words, and the monk's words were basically as follows: When a new star appeared in the sky, and the previous star map was disrupted. In the middle of the night there is the sound of horses' hooves, and when the snow stops, misfortune will follow, and then ............

What do you mean by looking at your own shadow at this time?

Thinking of this, Ulan hurriedly got up and held the oil lamp high, under the faint light, Ulan looked like the shadow that should have been reflected on the wall, but this look didn't matter, she was so shocked that she almost shouted!

I saw that under the light, her shadow couldn't stop swaying on the wall, and the most terrifying thing was that the shadow was only half a cut!

Yes, the shadow of the wall stopped abruptly at the waist, and there was not a trace of it below, and the knife and axe were so neat that it seemed to make people cut off half of their waists.

Ulan's cold sweat fell as soon as he brushed it, and everyone understood that the shadow should be born from under his feet and would never disappear out of thin air, but what does this half of the shadow on the wall represent at this time?

(Today's two watches, thank you for your support, and there is also a watch in the evening, 'slaughtering pregnant women in the city, and giving birth to demons in front of the temple in the mountains'.) ）
