In 1989, it was an era of scorching and unstable sunshine. My mother lost her way on the way to the hospital and gave birth to me in a cemetery in the middle of the night.
People say that when you are born, you are as humble as a dog, but in the future, you will become a dragon or a tiger.
But after I was born, I would always get sick for no apparent reason. Even big hospitals couldn't do anything to me. I had so many critical illness notices that I folded them up and made them into a homework book.
In order for me to survive, my mother visited many people and tried all kinds of home remedies. Finally, she found a gentleman who could figure things out.
The husband said that before I was born, someone had planned the yin year, the lunar calendar, the yin time, the yin place, and the yin ghosts to deliver the baby. I was born with a lot of yin energy and attract evil ghosts. He also said that this kind of fate is called the "yin corpse ghost fate"
, there is no solution at all, no matter how hard you try, you will definitely not survive until the age of seven. After death, you will be raised as a "blood-clothed imp" for those with evil intentions, and they will be driven out to harm others.
After hearing this, my mother was dumbfounded. Thinking that I would turn into a ghost and harm others after my death, my whole body suddenly became hairy. She hurriedly begged the fortune teller for help. The fortune teller originally had a compassionate heart, but after a few calculations,
He immediately ran away with his luggage on his back as if flying.
My mother cried until she fainted several times, and finally remembered her grandmother who could exorcise ghosts and diseases.
Grandma is a famous fairy woman. During the Cultural Revolution, all evil spirits and monsters were wiped out. In order to avoid criticism, she escaped into the mountains and forests without a trace.
My mother was stubborn, so she picked me up, who was critically ill, and walked for three days and three nights along the road in the deep mountains and forests that my grandmother had entered. She suffered a lot. Fortunately, God was so pitiful that she finally found the place where my grandmother lived.
.
Grandma took my grandson from my mother and was so happy that her eyes were filled with tears. But then she counted it with her fingers and stamped her feet and started to curse.
"What little beast, how dare you harm my precious grandson's life!"
Her mother thought she was scolding her, so she was so frightened that she fell to the ground and burst into tears. Of course, that was how her mother described her later. Grandma had a calm personality. It is not known whether this was the case, but every time she said it in a more embellished way.
When I get up, I always admire my grandma who was domineering and domineering at that time. Perhaps this is also the reason why I like to be close to my grandma.
Knowing that I had been cursed, my grandmother immediately started a ritual, but this was not to exorcise ghosts and cure my illness, but to marry me a child bride on her own initiative.
Regardless of whether grandma's method was right or not, I never got sick again and lived a peaceful life.
Many people may also say that I don't know what is good or bad, and I actually use the word "self-assertion". You know in today's world, there are many people in their thirties and forties who have never had a girlfriend. You haven't even grown hair, kid.
Qi already has a wife, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Actually, I have my own reasons. My 'child bride' is different from what everyone thinks. It's not because she's not pretty enough or because she's old and yellow, but because I haven't seen her at all in so many years!
But grandma said: She has always been by my side.
Later, the house next door installed an iron pot lid and could receive several TV signals. After watching many costume dramas, I gradually understood what a child bride was.
Child brides, in the old days, were deformed arranged marriages in which common people sold their daughters who could not afford to raise them to children from wealthy families to be wives. The age difference was large, and they were like wives and sisters. However, the children who married child brides were usually well taken care of.
But I can’t see the child bride I married, that would be evil!
I was only seven or eight years old at the time, so I thought, since I have a sister-in-law, you have to let me see her, right?
So I pestered my grandma and asked many questions about my invisible daughter-in-law and sister. However, grandma always looked at the empty place around me and smiled softly, which made people confused.
So one time, I was so angry that no one was helping me when I was walking and falling. I joked with my grandma: "Grandma, you said that I have a child bride. She is the wife that I am marrying. But in fact, I have never seen it. I fell to the ground and no one helped me."
, that is in name only, if I find someone I like in the future, I will definitely marry him as my real wife!"
I remember my grandma’s face changed at that time, and she asked me not to talk nonsense, saying that even if I had someone I liked, I could only have concubines, not wives.
Of course I won’t be happy if I’m stubborn: “If I can’t marry, I can only accept her, so which girl is willing to be my concubine?”
My grandma, who was usually quiet, saw that I was stubborn, so she startled me into a daze.
But I suffered a lot immediately. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind blowing towards me. Looking back, I was almost scared to death and ran to hug my grandma.
Finally, my grandma asked me to say, "I was joking," and the gloomy feeling disappeared.
So from that time on, I began to feel that there were indeed 'things' around me that I couldn't see, and I really couldn't sleep for many days.
As for the first time I met her, I think it was when I went to the town to study when I was twelve years old.
The weather in the south is extremely hot in summer, and the small town is like a steamer. After school, our group of children like to carry the school on our backs and go swimming in nearby rivers and streams.
That day, Zhang Yidan and I, plus a total of six or seven children from the next class, went to a small river near his home for a swimming competition at the suggestion of one of the children named Huang Dong.
Zhang Yidan, like me, is a child from Xiaoyitun where my grandmother lived. His original name was Zhang Yuanyi. Because he was a bit mean when he was young and always liked to bare his buttocks. When his friends saw that one of his balls was particularly big, they took the other one.
When one of them covered him up, everyone jokingly called him Zhang Yidan, but he didn't care and was even proud of it.
The rough and silly personality also has some advantages, allowing Zhang Yidan to make many friends in the same grade.
Contrary to him, I inherited my mother's somewhat stubborn character. However, under the upbringing and influence of my grandmother, I was more calm and calm in doing things than my mother. Therefore, as an adult, I don't have much in common with my friends.
However, Zhang Yidan is a very enthusiastic person. He has been exposed to it since he was a child and has known that I am a notoriously evil person. I always turn danger into danger when encountering danger. Therefore, he always likes to play with me. Of course, swimming is a must.
You can't help but take me with you.
After passing through the dense fruit forest, a group of us children came to the small river not far from Huang Dong's house.
This stream is a branch from Vietnam. The water flow is quiet but wide and deep, but it does not trouble us children who are good at swimming.
When we arrived at our destination, everyone was completely naked.
I was also ready to take off my clothes and go into the river, but I was only halfway through when I felt a dark wind blowing from behind, and I suddenly shivered.
This situation has not happened a few times since I became sensible, but every time, it makes my hair stand on end and I become vigilant.
But I watched two or three children get into the water and play in the calm water, having so much fun that the heat made me feel a little dry no matter how good-tempered I was.
Zhang Yidan was naked and dragged me to the river: "Brother Tian, let's go too!"
In the past, if there was a bad wind blowing from behind, I would turn around and leave immediately, but today I am not happy. I am twelve or thirteen years old. The teacher said that this age is the period of rebellion. Why can't I be willful?
Huang Dong was the king of children in the class next door. When he saw Zhang Yidan, the leader of the class, actually called me "Brother Tian, Brother Tian", he looked down on me and didn't dare to get into the water: "Xia Yitian, what's wrong with you?
?You can’t swim? Or are you a coward and afraid of death?”
"Huang Dong, are you looking for trouble? Is my brother Tian afraid of death?" Zhang Yidan said with eyes wide open, but he still looked at me carefully.
I thought I couldn't give in, so I looked back hesitantly, took off my clothes, and followed Zhang Yidan into the water. However, I didn't start swimming immediately. Instead, I stood at the depth of my calves and watched them.
play.
"Damn, this kid is actually afraid of death, right, Brother Dong? Brother Dong is too courageous."
"Hehe, needless to say." Huang Dong glanced at me disdainfully, and then swam deeper with his other friends. He turned back and said, "Zhang Yidan, are you afraid if it's not your own territory? Do you dare to swim with me?"
Will your Brother Tian form a team to compete with us across the river?"
"Si Que, do you dare to compete with me and Brother Tian to cross the river?" Zhang Yidan was angry. He is a famous 'flying fish' in the village and can swim very fast. I am also a good swimmer, so we teamed up to cross the river.
He had never lost before, so he immediately asked me to go over and compete with them.
I just wanted to leave with Zhang Yidan, but at this moment, a strange force pulled me fiercely. I even noticed the cold hands pulling the underwear I was wearing out of shape.
I stretched out my hands to cover my buttocks that were about to be exposed. I made a squeaking sound and my underwear almost tore. I was so angry that I turned around and wanted to yell at the person who was trying to punish me, but when I looked behind me, there was nothing there.
But when I looked back, I immediately saw a red figure appearing in the water in front of me and pulling me behind me. It was just that the water was rippling under the play of our group of children, so I couldn't see her appearance clearly, but it was enough for me to see.
Scared.
I immediately wanted to hold Zhang Yidan and not let him go down: "Yi... Yidan, don't go over, hurry up, get ashore quickly."
Zhang Yidan, who was passing by, saw my livid expression and immediately ran over: "What's wrong, Brother Tian, are you okay?"
"I feel something is wrong. Do you think the river is too quiet?" I just found an excuse and looked around the river bank, but I didn't see anything that could stop me from going down to the river.
Xiaoyitun has a small population. Of course Zhang Yidan knew about my grandmother’s deeds, so he obeyed my words and immediately said in fear: “Brother Tian, what did you see?”
"I don't know. Anyway, we'd better go ashore immediately." I repeated.
"Hey, everyone in the class! Come ashore with me!" Zhang Yidan immediately waved to the remaining two classmates and said.
"Haha, all the people in Class 138 are cowards!" Huang Dong immediately laughed when he saw all the people in our class ashore.
"You want to compete with us? It's just a fight. Go home and feed yourself." Huang Dong's friends also laughed at us.
Although the two classmates looked down on me a little because of this, they did not dare to have any objections to Zhang Yidan and hurried to the river bank.
I ignored the jeers. When I got to the shore, the cold feeling dissipated a lot. I panted and looked into the river, but I saw a pair of pale hands under the water not far from Huangdong, as if surrendering.
, floating and sinking in the water.
