Xiang Que pulled his bag over, took out two talismans from it, wrapped them up, tied them with a red rope and hung them around the necks of the two children.
The eldest brother-in-law was a little stunned and asked: "Brother, what is that?"
"I asked for something to keep me safe at a Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain before I came back. People said it was very effective, especially for children to get rid of illnesses and avoid disasters. Every year, many people go to the Taoist temple to pray for their children.
, and I spent a lot of money on incense." The two talismans that Xiang Que took were not the ones he had used before, but the peace talismans that he personally carved on the mountain and then mobilized the breath of heaven and earth to condense them. Although they have no magical value,
It's big, but ordinary people can't find this kind of talisman at all.
If a knowledgeable person sees these two talismans, it will not be a problem to exchange one for a car.
When this talisman is hung on a person, it is more effective than those consecrated things. It can not only cure diseases and avoid disasters, but also prevent even evil ghosts from getting close to it. It can also withstand three bloody disasters. It is a very high-level peace talisman.
Xiang Que still has a few magical artifacts in his hand. It’s not that he is reluctant to bring them to these two children. The key is that the magical artifacts are too valuable. No one will notice if they are hung up by these two children. However, if someone who is really knowledgeable sees them on the two children
If they had a magic weapon with them, they would definitely try their best to get it, and there was no telling what would happen by then, so to be on the safe side, Xiang Que gave them two charms to prevent anyone from getting it wrong.
The two brothers-in-law didn't seem to believe it, but they couldn't refuse. After all, it was Xiang Que's intention. However, the expressions of Xiang's father, Xiang's mother and two sisters suddenly changed. They all knew that Xiang Que's words were definitely true.
, because what happened to Xiang Que more than twenty years ago made them have no choice but to believe in this kind of stuff.
Xiang Que's grandfather said: "Take it with you, don't take it off again in this life."
······Twenty-two years ago, in the year of Chou, it was January 21, Gui hour.
Yin year, Yin month, Yin hour!
Xiangjia, the head of Xiangjia Village, heard screams of pain from a woman in the house. The villagers walking outside couldn't help but look at her sideways. Those who knew the situation couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Is Xiang's daughter-in-law going to give birth?"
That’s not right, it’s only been eight months, it’s still early and it’s only one month away.”
"What's wrong? It's difficult to give birth. Xiang Laoshi's wife started screaming at night, and she kept screaming until now. She hasn't given birth yet. What a sin, Xiang Laoshi's son is going to kill his mother."
"How do you know that is your son? He hasn't been born yet?"
"A midwife in the village has looked at it and she said it must be the son. A few months after the child was conceived by an honest wife, the child became disloyal and made trouble every day. She said he was a brat. It must be the son."
"It's my son who can do this. He was born more than a month prematurely. This child must have some diseases when he was born. He was too anxious."
At this time, a man suddenly ran out of Xiang's courtyard and ran out of the village in a hurry. Someone asked loudly: "Xiang Laoshi, what are you doing?"
"My wife can't hold on any longer. I'm going to the town to find a doctor. If that doesn't work, I'll have a caesarean section and get the baby out. If this continues, the person will be tortured to death."
Xiang Que was born in a dystocia. It is said that when he was born, he tossed his mother for more than five hours. He sweated a lot and wet the bed and mattress. The pain was excruciating. Later, his father ran to the second
A doctor was invited from a town more than ten miles away to deliver him by caesarean section.
Not only did he make a fuss when he came out, but the animals in Xiangjiatun were also noisy that night.
There were six or seven dogs in the village barking non-stop, which made the barking people panic. They didn't stop barking until almost dawn. Moreover, several roosters in the village flew out of the chicken coops and ran around the village.
In the end, it was said that there were still two that had not been found and had gone somewhere.
Xiang Que was born very short of weight. He was skinny and skinny. At that time, the family was worried that it would be difficult to feed the child even after he was born. He didn't look like he could live a stable life.
.
But he had to be fed even if he couldn't live. Fortunately, his mother's milk was still enough, so feeding him was no problem. Feeding him three to five times a day was just to make him gain weight quickly.
Xiang Que survived, but after he survived, the Xiang family was not at peace.
The Xiang family originally planned to hold a banquet on the full moon day after his birth. This is a custom in rural areas of Northeast China. After a child is one month old, a banquet will be held at home, and all the folks from the village will come over to celebrate.
But the joy of that day was not fulfilled, because Xiang Laoshi wanted to kill a pig in the morning, but as soon as he pulled the pig out of the pig pen and was about to kill it, the pig suddenly struggled away like a madman.
It happened to hit Xiang Laoshi and knocked him over.
It was winter and it was still uncivilized. His foot slipped and he fell by chance. He flew straight up and landed on a stone pier in the courtyard, breaking his leg.
Xiang Laoshi had a broken leg, so naturally he couldn't hold a wedding reception. It was originally a happy event, but he didn't expect it to cause such trouble.
But this is not over yet. When Xiang Que was born in the second month, his eldest and second sister went out to play. There was a pond not far behind Xiangjia Village. At that time, the pond had long been frozen in the cold winter. Children in rural areas had nothing to do with it.
For fun, I like skating on the pond, but who knows what happened, the eldest sister and the second sister were pulling a sledge and the other was sitting on it while skating, when a piece of ice under their feet suddenly cracked.
Both girls fell into the ice hole. They grabbed the ice cubes next to them to prevent themselves from sinking, and then shouted for help. Fortunately, there were many children playing together at the time. After seeing the accident between the two sisters, there were children.
I hurriedly ran out to greet the adults. After hearing the news, the villagers came and pulled the two little girls out of the ice hole with ropes. Fortunately, the pond was only about one meter deep. If it were deeper, they would have sunk.
If you go down there, it will be completely hopeless.
Another month after this incident, spring had already begun. Shenyang was no longer so cold in April. Xiang was missing for exactly three months. A family in the village was building a house. His grandfather went to help others. Old Xiangtou
He was a bricklayer, so he climbed to the roof to build the roof for that family.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as the old man climbed onto the roof, he fell off the roof and broke three ribs.
When something happened to the old man, everyone in the village was not very calm, because from the time Xiang Que was born to now, three things happened to Xiang's family in the past three months.
Xiang Laoshi was hit by a pig and broke one of his legs, two children fell into an ice hole while skating, and Lao Xiangtou climbed up the house and fell. Originally, the incident was not serious and no one was killed, but the key points are these three things.
It comes out a little evil.
Because when the pig was being slaughtered, the pig was held down by five or six people. Logically speaking, the pig couldn't break free, but after breaking free, no one hit it and it was pushed towards Lao Shi.
Children play in that pond every day, and the ice is more than half a meter thick. I haven’t heard of anyone falling in it after so many years. But the ice cracked in the coldest month of winter. This is definitely a bit nonsense for Northeastern people, because
Sports cars on ice are commonplace, but I have never heard of a sledge being crushed by two girls.
Xiangque's grandfather was not very old at that time, only about fifty years old, and his hands and feet had not yet become inoperable. He had to work as a bricklayer in more than ten or twenty houses this year, and he worked for decades.
Nothing happened, but the Xiang family encountered its third disaster.
There is a rumor in the village that after Xiang Que, who was born prematurely, tormented his mother, he then tormented the rest of the family, which will bring bad luck and harm to others. If this continues, sooner or later the Xiang family will be in trouble.
Someone in the village suggested that Xiang Laoshi should quickly find a goddess or immortal to check with Xiang Que. If the child has something to say, he should be checked.
Xiang Laoshi was angry, and he was immediately anxious because of his duty. He would fight anyone who dared to tell him that his son's fate was bad.
From then on, no one in the village dared to mention this matter to Xiang Laoshi, and the fourth and fifth months after Xiang Que was born, the Xiang family was peaceful. No one had caused any trouble, and the Xiang family also thought that before
Those three times were all coincidences, so they were relieved. But who would have thought that three months later, exactly half a year after Xiang Que was born, the Xiang family would be in trouble again.
It was in the summer when it was still dark, and Xiang Que's parents went to work in the fields. Only two sisters were left at home to play with Xiang Que. At that time, the three children were playing well, but there was a lot of work in the fields that day.
The adults came back late, and it was already dark before they got home. The two little girls were already hungry, and Xiang Que was crying and making a lot of noise.
So the two girls went to the kitchen to find something to eat. They put their brother on a meadow in the yard and let him play by himself. The two children didn't think much about it. After all, Xiang Que was only six months old and could only
It's crawling around, and it's okay even if it doesn't know how to walk in the yard.
Unexpectedly, when his eldest and second sister found something to eat, they came to the yard and found that Xiang Que had disappeared. They both panicked and searched the whole yard and house but couldn't find it. The two children cried and walked towards their fields.
He ran and saw his parents and told them that his brother was missing.
Xiang Que's parents suddenly realized what was going on. In those days, there were no child thefts in the Northeast, and Xiang Que was so young that he couldn't even walk away. How could he throw them away?
Xiang Que got so angry that he beat his eldest and second sister. His father didn't have time to waste time here, so he hurried home to look for his children in front of and behind the house. After searching around, there was no one there, and the whole Xiang family suddenly felt numb.
.
Everyone in Xiangjiatun knew each other, so Xiangque's father mobilized the whole village to look for him, but after searching the whole village, there was still no trace.
This time, everyone was confused. Although Xiangjia Village is not big, it is definitely huge for a six-month-old child. If you say he is so good at kung fu, he can crawl out by himself wherever he goes.
?
"Did a yellow man come down from the mountain and take the child into his mouth?" Some villagers muttered.
Xiangjia Village is surrounded by mountains. The mountains are not high, but they are all old forests. Although there are no big animals, there are many yellow-skinned animals, wild robes, and mountain jumps. It has been better in the past two years. There were indeed yellow-skinned animals a few days ago.
Secretly going down the mountain to farmers' houses to steal chickens, ducks, etc.
This man's words frightened Xiang Que's father, and without saying a word he begged the villagers to quickly go into the mountains to find their children.
