Wang Shaoxiang hurriedly hired a doctor to treat him with medicine.
Day after day, Zhang Jinchao's condition did not improve.
Wang Shaoxiang had to undergo extensive medical treatment and spent all the family's meager savings. Zhang Jinchao's condition still did not improve.
With no other choice, Wang Shaoxiang had no choice but to sell off her land to treat her husband's illness.
Zhang Jinchao felt very sad when he saw that his wife had sold off the little property at home in order to treat him.
As the saying goes: If you have anything, don’t be sick; if you are lacking, don’t be short of money.
But Zhang Jinchao was on the contrary. Even though he was ill and lacked money, he was in a really difficult situation.
"Madam, it is difficult for a doctor to cure a dying person. I have run out of medicine and there is no cure. You should not waste money on me anymore. If you use up this only meager income, after I die, How will you and Fei'er survive?" Zhang Jinchao looked at Wang Shaoxiang sadly and said helplessly.
Wang Shaoxiang waved his hand and said to Zhang Jinchao: "Husband, don't say those unlucky words..."
Zhang Jinchao sadly took Wang Shaoxiang's hands, panted, and said as if to explain the funeral, "I can't raise Fei'er, I can't raise Fei'er, I can't continue to love him, teach him to read and read, he's already very old. I'm sorry for him. If you care about our relationship as husband and wife, just listen to my advice. Stop wasting money on me and use it to raise Fei'er. He is the only flesh and blood of my Zhang family, the only hope. No matter what you do to bring him up, don't let him suffer."
Zhang Jinchao knew that he was exhausted, so he earnestly refused to let Wang Shaoxiang give him any more medicine.
"Don't worry, husband, I will take good care of Fei'er, but I also want to treat your illness. Even if I sell iron and beg from door to door, I will cure your illness and make our Fei'er both parents. You have just started to teach Fei'er can read and write well, I want you to teach Fei'er well and teach Fei'er what you have learned in your life, so that our Fei'er can also obtain fame and glory in the future."
When Wang Shaoxiang said this, he looked at Zhang Jinchao affectionately, "Besides, you and I are dependent on each other. How can I feel at ease and live alone in the world if I don't cure your illness?"
Zhang Jinchao listened to Wang Shaoxiang's heartfelt words, and was really moved and extremely painful: "Madam, please don't say this..."
Wang Shaoxiang was very distressed when he saw that Zhang Jinchao refused to delay the medical treatment no matter what. He hurriedly called Xiao Shaofei: "Fei'er, tell your father to drink the medicine quickly."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shaofei walked to Zhang Jinchao's bed very sensibly and kept shouting: "Daddy, drink medicine, daddy, drink medicine..."
Zhang Jinzhao looked at his virtuous wife and loved his children, but he couldn't let go of his wife and children, so he had to pick up the bowl and drink the medicine. He hoped that he could use the power of the medicine to keep his life.
With mental support, Zhang Jinzhao's condition improved after taking a few patches of medicine.
Before he knew it, winter turned to spring again, Zhang Jinzhao's condition improved greatly, and a rare rosy color appeared on his face.
Zhang Jinzhao regained his strength and became energetic, and the couple became even more loving.
During the day, the couple farmed and weaved; at night, they gathered around the lamp to entertain their precious son.
Zhang Jinzhao held Xiao Shaofei seriously and recited "The Beginning of Man". The family of three was enjoying themselves happily.
…
It is the nature of children to love to play. Once, Xiao Shao flew to the river and happened to see Ergou climbing up the lychee tree by the river to dig out a bird's nest, and caught the little bird in the nest that had no time to fly away.
Ergou saw Xiao Shaofei, handed him the bird, and said proudly: "I must be awesome, I caught the bird on the tree."
Xiao Shaofei took the bird, loosened his hands, and let the bird go.
Ergou saw that Xiao Shaofei had deliberately released the bird. He cried and asked Xiao Shaofei to return the bird to him. He raised his fists as if he was about to fight and asked him: "Why did you release the bird?!"
Xiao Shaofei said to him calmly: "If you are captured by bad guys, your parents will be very anxious and sad." This principle is the same for Xiaoniao's mother! In the same way, if the mother of the little bird comes back without her children, she will definitely be anxious and sad..."
The series of words were so impactful that Ergou was stunned. How could these words full of philosophy of life come from the mouth of Xiao Shaofei, who was younger than them?
Xiao Shaofei's words were like a light of wisdom, illuminating his heart. Ergou glanced at Xiao Shaofei with admiration.
Xiao Shaofei pursed his lips and a smile appeared on his face.
…
As time goes by, this little Shaofei grows more and more cute day by day, innocent, lively, playful and active, bringing endless joy to Zhang Jinzhao and his wife.
Every night, Wang Shaoxiang looked at his son lying on the bed, babbling, as if he was extremely happy. She was so happy that she almost brought joy to her thatched hut...
Wang Shaoxiang was extremely happy and sad. She was really worried that when she woke up late one night, her son was no longer beside her and had disappeared.
One night when the spring breeze was intoxicating, she expressed her worries.
"Madam, you can rest assured and don't have to think wildly. As the saying goes, 'life and death are destiny'. Fei'er has a hard life and can avoid any disaster." Zhang Jinzhao comforted her thoughtfully.
Zhang Jinzhao looked at Xiao Shaofei sleeping beside the bed, and nuzzled at Wang Shaoxiang: "In the future, we will have to rely on him to support us until we die."
Looking at the beloved son in front of him, Zhang Jinzhao also felt a little worried in his heart, fearing that the child was here to cheat him (to die in infancy) and that he would be happy in vain.
From this, he remembered the scene that happened not long ago——
Near noon that day, he went to his vegetable patch to pick vegetables and came back to make lunch.
"Huh-huh-"
A roar of waves came from the other side of the Xihe River.
Zhang Jinzhao looked around and saw a loud sound on the river. The rolling river water was like a giant dragon with teeth and claws, roaring in and rushing away.
Zhang Jinzhao grew up playing in the Longmen River and was used to seeing the turbulent waves caused by heavy river flooding.
However, what surprised him was that the sound of roaring waves was like the sound of nature, floating away from the rough river surface and echoing between heaven and earth...
Zhang Jinzhao seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before.
What surprised Zhang Jinzhao even more was that among the turbid waves, a man wearing a red bellyband stood on a reed against the rolling turbid waves.
Zhang Jinzhao didn't believe his eyes anymore. He closed them hard and then opened them again.
Sure enough, that boy was his son Zhang Shaofei, there was no doubt about it!
Because the pair of silver bell rings on the boy's wrist were given to Xiao Shaofei by his family's great benefactor.
The red bellyband was his wife's gift and was sewn stitch by stitch.
Zhang Jinzhao clearly saw the red bellyband on the boy and the silver bell ring on his hand, which emitted a dazzling light in the waves.
The flood is mighty, the turbid waves are rolling, the peaks are rising, and dangers are everywhere. A small reed, floating in the turbulent waves, is in danger of being swallowed by the turbid waves and sinking to the bottom of the river at any time.
"Fei'er, come up quickly, your father is scared to death!"
Zhang Jinzhao shouted at Xiao Shaofei floating on the huge waves.
However, Xiao Shaofei, who was flying on the reeds and chasing the waves, didn't know it and seemed to be having a lot of fun.
…
Zhang Jinzhao recalled what he saw that day and told his wife.
After hearing this, Wang Shaoxiang suddenly realized. He remembered that Mid-Autumn Festival night two years ago, when he dreamed of a flying dragon flying into the room, and then a child affectionately called her mother under the bodhi tree. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, this The baby was sent to us by God!"
She clasped her hands together and said with great piety: "Master Heaven, you have finally appeared! Master Heaven, please bless Fei'er, and he will turn disaster into good luck, and he will get high quickly and easily."
When Zhang Jinzhao heard this, he made a "poof" sound and said with a smile: "Honey, I am not the Cangtian Grand Master. Cangtian is not called the Cangtian Master."
Wang Shaoxiang looked serious: "Husband, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Jinzhao still smiled and said: "Fei'er was originally born to you!"
Wang Shaoxiang said seriously: "Husband, let me ask you, why can Fei'er survive the big waves unharmed?"
"this……"
"Why was he named Zhang Shaofei?"
"this……"
Wang Shaoxiang asked a barrage of questions, and Zhang Jinzhao was speechless and unable to respond.
Finally, Wang Shaoxiang said: "This is all because I went to Taishan Temple last year to burn incense and worship Buddha, and made a wish in front of the Jade Emperor statue of Qingtian Grand Master in the temple, so it came true. Husband, you have just recovered from a serious illness. Tomorrow I will go to Taishan Temple to fulfill my wish. , you can take care of Fei'er at home."
"Yeah." Zhang Jinzhao nodded, "Okay then."
Early the next morning, after Wang Shaoxiang had breakfast, he went to Taishan Temple alone to fulfill his wish.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to arrive at Taishan Temple, Xiao Shaofei suddenly appeared in front of her and said cheerfully: "Auntie, I'm here."
Wang Shaoxiang was worried that Xiao Shaofei would cause trouble in the temple, so he didn't tell him.
Unexpectedly, this little young man, a flying ghost spirit, followed quietly.
Now that everyone is here, Wang Shaoxiang has no choice but to say: "Fei'er, when you enter the temple later, you are not allowed to talk nonsense, remember?"
Xiao Shaofei said "hmm" and said obediently: "Mom, remember."
Stepping into the Shanmen Archway, Xiao Shaofei seemed to be touched by his "wisdom" and even read out the "No. 1 Place" inscribed on the archway.
Wang Shaoxiang was so shocked that he quickly covered his mouth: "In a children's home, you can't read randomly."
"Auntie, I didn't read it randomly, that's exactly what it said." Xiao Shaofei defended.
"Still arguing!" Wang Shaoxiang raised his hand angrily, pretending to knock it down.
Xiao Shaofei slipped away from Wang Shaoxiang like a little loach.
Wang Shaoxiang looked at Xiao Shaofei's back and shook his head: "This naughty boy is a ghost..."
She couldn't control him at all.
Taishan Temple is backed by green mountains and faces Taizhen Village. There is a peak on the temple, and a mountain range winds down from the peak, shaped like a swimming dragon. The temple is built on the "dragon head" at an altitude of 150 meters, hence the name "Taishan Temple" ".
Taishan Temple, the temple is not high but the bells and bells are beautiful, the water is not deep but clear and clear.
Unknowingly, Wang Shaoxiang came to the Jade Emperor Palace.
After washing his hands and applying incense, Wang Shaoxiang knelt in front of the Jade Emperor statue and performed a grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.
After praying devoutly, I donated all my money for sesame oil.
Stepping out of the Jade Emperor's Palace, Wang Shaoxiang remembered that Zhang Shaofei who had followed him was not with him.
She searched almost all over the temple but couldn't find him.
Finally, I found it in the Dragon King Hall.
I saw Xiao Shaofei staring intently at the empty seat without the Buddha statue on the throne in the middle, with a thoughtful look in his eyes...
When Wang Shaoxiang saw Xiao Shaofei standing there in a daze, he stepped forward and pushed him and said, "Fei'er, why did you come here?"
"Auntie, why is there no Buddha statue on the throne?" Xiao Shaofei asked without answering.
Wang Shaoxiang was also surprised by Xiao Shaofei's question, and murmured to himself: "The last time I came to offer incense, I saw a statue of the Sea Dragon King sitting on the throne, but it suddenly disappeared?"
