In the early morning of the next day, the rain had stopped that night, smoke was curling up from the cooking pots in Taier Village, and the water-blue sky reflected the red sun held up by the clouds. People piled wet firewood in the courtyard, made do with the remaining charcoal fire last night, and prepared a hasty meal. However, those who could not control their temper had already stepped out of the door and went to the streets and alleys. Or go to the house next door. /p
Wang's mother-in-law has always been a quick talker. She visited all the houses around the house early, attracted all the women, put melons and fruits on the table, boiled sugar water, and started gossiping. /p
"Last night, I forgot about this day. The men in our family were so frightened that they peed on the bed." All the women laughed wildly, and the old woman said again, "Liu Ji's old man is the one who has been dying for half a year." , our ancestors who had a hard time surviving were taken away by Lei last night.”/p
"Huh? Are you scared to death?"/p
"Shhh" Wang Po gestured and said secretly: "Who knows if he was scared to death? That old guy worked so hard for his grandson and granddaughter-in-law in half a year, he didn't have to take care of the land, and the medicine money was credited to two accounts. Maybe, under the guise of last night's thunder, I could get someone to pat her neck." /p
The mother-in-law on the side quickly covered Wang Po's mouth and cursed in a low voice: "Ouch! You can't say this."/p
After Chen hour, the men went out one after another. /p
Tai'er Village is close to the foot of a mountain, and the slopes are covered with thorn forests. They sprout all year round and cannot be burned away with fire. Digging roots with hoes is a waste of time and money, so every household in the village has very little arable land. During the day, men often go into the mountains to hunt wild animals, or collect some medicinal materials, and carry them to the city on donkeys, which can be exchanged for a lot of gold and silver. /p
The mountains with these roots are rich in good products. The deeper you go, the more debris there is. Most of the wild animals are intelligent and can be very cunning in rainy and snowy weather. Even a dozen big men can't catch a sharp-mouthed rabbit. Moreover, the mud in the mountains is soft when wet, and your feet will sink a foot or two if you step into it. It does not "eat people," but it is just a waste of manpower and futile, so men will definitely not go into the mountains after rain or snow. /p
But this day is an exception, July 11th. /p
After dinner, people in Taier Village always like to talk about the dark night five years ago. It was July 10th, a sunny and cloudless day, which should have been excellent weather. But after sunset, dark clouds began to accumulate in the sky. From that moment on, the atmosphere in the village became extremely depressing. People felt stuffy in their chests, and even though they tried hard to breathe, they felt dizzy and dizzy. There were old hens and chicks in the chicken coop. die. /p
The older man said that the evil man who committed Tai Sui would re-enter the world tonight, and urged every household, especially those with pregnant mothers and daughters-in-law, to burn more incense and pray to heaven, lest the evil man be reincarnated in their own homes. /p
Muzhuang and his wife also listened to the old man's words, worshiped the Kitchen Fairy in the kitchen at home, and put talismans on the kang head to drive away ghosts. Mu Zhuang's wife has only been in the same situation for the past two days, and she is also afraid that she has really given birth to an evil spirit. /p
The stuffy night was really capable of killing people. Fully half of the people were forced to faint by the scorching atmosphere, not to mention the creatures in the mountains who lost their lives in vain long before midnight. /p
People thought that they were about to suffocate to death, and they waited for hours. Unexpectedly, when the time came, it was the beginning of the end of the natural disaster. /p
At midnight, the lights in the house went out at the same time, and at the same time, Muzhuang's wife's water broke. /p
Thunder suddenly fell, white flashes were waving wildly, a cobweb current cut through the north, south, east and west, and another snake bone lightning penetrated the clouds, earth, heaven and earth. The thunder sky burned into clouds, and the panic melted into a pool of soup and blood like the scorching sun. Not only Taier Village, but the entire Huzhou land was enchanted by the scenery in the sky. /p
There was a loud thunder, and violent winds and rain suddenly started. In the turmoil of the mountains, mud and rocks rolled down and buried a lot of fertile land. People began to cry madly, began to pray to immortals and gods, and finally begged ghosts for mercy one after another. . /p
The thunder continued in the night sky, probably for a full hour. Just when everything on earth was dying, a child's cry came from the sky of fire clouds. With just one cry, the world was amnesty. The thunder stopped and the rain stopped, the clouds receded to the horizon, and the night was no longer strange from then on. /p
Muzhuang's wife gave birth to a son when the thunder was the loudest. The child was born with pink and jade. The most peculiar thing was that the thunder outside the window was so deafening that even Muzhuang was so frightened that his legs trembled and he clenched the quilt tightly. His ears were tightened, but the boy laughed instead of crying. The louder the thunder, the happier he was. /p
As soon as the child's hour passed, a child's cry came from the horizon. That sound saved the world. Muzhuang and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not expect that the newborn child would burst into tears instead. The wooden pile's wife picked up the baby and couldn't stop him even if she nursed him, hummed a song, or patted him on the back and bumped him. /p
The next day, a large number of fainted wild animals appeared at the mountain pass. The elders in the village said that they had guessed wrong last night. It was not the birth of a villain, but the reincarnation of a saint. Unfortunately, the saint was born on the other side of the sky and has nothing to do with us. /p
The strange thing is that since then, every year between July 10th and 11th, there will be violent thunder and showers in the night sky in Huzhou, no more, no less, a total of eighteen thunder rays. Early the next morning, vast swaths of wild animals were about to fall in the mountains. All the men had to do was carry bamboo baskets on their backs to pick them. They could make seven or eight trips back and forth between the city and the countryside in one day, earning enough money to keep up with the harvest in the fields for most of the year. /p
Today, the "Baliang Mountain Pass" is closed to all visitors. No matter how many men buy wine, there is nothing more than a basket of wild animals picked up from the mountain. The wife of Muzhuang packed eight or nine pairs of shoes in the courtyard, served the men to eat, and then Take care of the kids. /p
Xiao Muziyun was squatting at the door digging mud. Last night he dug the bucket of mud onto the kang, and the family of three huddled on top of the kang and made do with it all night. When the sky was still bright, Mu Ziyun put on his shorts again and went out bare-chested to knead in the mud. /p
I was having fun when my ears were suddenly twisted. /p
"Ah, mother, I don't want to play anymore."/p
Mu Zhuang's wife grabbed Mu Ziyun's ears, lifted him into the courtyard, pressed the back of his head and forced him to wash his paws, wipe his face, and kicked him to the small square table in the courtyard. /p
Mu Zhuang smiled and twisted Mu Ziyun's face with the pancake in his mouth. /p
"Dad, is it fun in the mountains?" Mu Ziyun picked up the wooden bowl and swallowed a few mouthfuls of "sifted grains." His stomach was burning with the strong wine, so he quickly bit into the cake. /p
"It's not fun." Wooden Zhuang slapped the table and said, "Father will get tired of going there once or twice. We can't see anyone who can run. Then we have to go deeper. There are a lot of dirt in the depths, so we can't go in. Besides, Dad doesn't want to let him go." You go into the mountains, and when you are a year old, dad will send you out to be an apprentice."/p
"What to study?" Mu Ziyun asked. /p
"It is better to study anything than to stay here." Wooden Zhuang pointed his finger on the table and said: "Our family has no land, just a tavern. When there is thunder and rain, there is no business, and there is famine. If there is no disaster, We can get through it in ten years, but you will be no different from dad in this life. Once a wife marries a child, hey, a man has no hope."/p
Muzhuang's wife kicked a bench over, wiped her hands on her apron, and sat down. Muzhuang's face turned pale with fright, and he made a few noises to his wife. /p
The wooden pile's wife said with a dark face: "Where to send it? Which man you know is not carrying a hoe? It doesn't matter. Whoever you give it to can get it?"/p
"Yes, yes, yes." Mu Zhuang hurriedly swallowed his meal, picked up the bamboo basket, and pointed at Mu Ziyun before leaving the house and warned: "Don't get into trouble. If you play with fire again, I will come back and kill you."/p
As soon as the wooden stake was gone, Mu Ziyun persuaded her mother to agree and ran out to play. /p
There is a haystack in Tai'er Village, where the villagers' newly cut grass and trees are piled up. More than half of the children in the village regard it as a place to finish playing. /p
"Mu Ziyun, get off here!" Beside the haystack, a seven or eight-year-old boy with a big head pinched his waist and pointed angrily, his fat face flushed to the root of his neck. /p
Mu Ziyun poked his head out from above and shouted: "Huzi, you are bullying me again!"/p
"You!" Huzi trembled angrily, and there was a bright red slap mark on his face. He said angrily: "You are lying. The sewing technique you gave me is of no use at all. I will go back and put it in my mother's cabinet." The clothes inside were torn, and I recited the spell more than a dozen times, but nothing happened! My mother even kicked me out of the house!"/p
"Who said it's useless?" Mu Ziyun jumped down from the haystack, took out a white handkerchief from his arms, and tore it in half, "Look at it, come and go!" He only turned around. After turning around, the veil was indeed intact, but the white veil turned into a red veil. /p
Huzi felt a suffocating fire on his forehead and shouted: "How dare you lie to me!"/p
"I forgot." Mu Ziyun ran away, and Huzi chased him into the haystack. /p
Hu Ziyun was strong and three years older. It didn't take long for him to push Mu Ziyun to the ground, raise his hand and hit him randomly. Mu Ziyun called "Brother Hu Zi" four or five times before giving up. /p
"Brother Huzi, why are you so strong and running so fast?" Mu Ziyun covered his face, his teeth hurting. /p
Huzi said proudly: "Have you forgotten, my second brother is an apprentice of Baishamen. He taught me the leopard walk. Didn't I teach it to you? You didn't practice it?"/p
"No."/p
"Stop talking nonsense and come home with me to admit your mistake, otherwise my mother won't be able to spare me."/p
"Oh" Mu Ziyun agreed and stood up, suddenly threw the grass hidden in his hand towards Hu Zi, and ran away. /p
"Hey? Are you still running?" Huzi caught up with Ou in a sprint. /p
The tiger ran so fast that Mu Ziyun had no choice but to give up and wander around among the haystacks. Just as he was getting some distance away, the sole of his foot slipped and he fell flat on his face to the ground. Seeing the stones on the bed, Mu Ziyun's heart suddenly trembled and he held a breath in his mouth. /p
At this time, Huzi turned around and screamed, frightened out of his wits. Between the haystacks, there were flames on the black soil soaring into the sky, and there was even more like a stream of golden fire covering Muziyun's head. Huzi jumped over and pulled Mu Ziyun's feet. His palms were burned by the fire, and he ran back crying to call someone. /p
Mu Ziyun lay on the ground and regained consciousness. His heart felt empty. After a long time, he felt itchy on his body. When he looked around, his face turned pale with fear. "Help!"/p
The sea of fire around him was burning more and more fiercely, surrounding Muzi with layers of clouds. Mu Ziyun's legs were trembling and he couldn't stand up, so he crawled forward. Wherever he crawled, the flames first got out of the way as if consciously, and then swarmed up. /p
Mu Ziyun opened his mouth to cry, and the fire became more intense. He climbed up his arms to cover his legs and feet, and then slid around his neck. Perhaps because he was extremely afraid, he simply lay down and resigned himself to his fate. However, after waiting for a long time, he only felt warm and comfortable, and it did not burn him to death. He raised his hand and was able to hold a ball of flame. He was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Get out!"/p
Weird? The flames actually retreated a few feet away, and Mu Ziyun shouted suspiciously: "Come here." The flames almost got into Mu Ziyun's eyes, "Is it strange? Can you understand me?"/p
"Save the children first!" Huzi led a group of women to run over. The men had gone into the mountain, and only the women could help. Each of the women rushed into the sea of fire carrying buckets, and Ziyun Niang went crazy. After diving into the fire, four or five women worked together to pull her back. /p
"No, the fire is too big and can't be stopped!" Wang Po shouted: "First put out the fire around you, don't burn the house next to it."/p
The sky and the earth suddenly burned brightly in the fire scene, and the raging fire exploded like it had broken free from its confinement. Several women were almost swallowed up in it. /p
"Back off!" Wang Po shouted again. /p
Mu Ziyun took several puffs of thick smoke, his throat was not only dry but also bloody. He raised his head and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Who will save me? Put out the evil fire."/p
As soon as he finished speaking, three lightning bolts pierced the blue sky. After the muffled thunder, the heavy rain poured down like the Milky Way in an instant. The villagers who were pouring were stunned. The rain stopped when the fire died, without any trace of muddy water. The women looked in front of them. It was a mess, and the rain dripping down from the body was still a little warm. The scene of a man-eating fire just now was gone in the blink of an eye? /p
Mu Ziyun ran out and saw his mother at a glance. Ziyun Niang was still in a daze. When she came to her senses, she slapped Mu Ziyun hard, then held the child tightly in her arms, unable to say a word. /p
Next to her, the lady Wang Caicai shouted: "You are really the son of God!"/p
/p
