In the spring of the year Bingyin, after a severe winter, everything is waiting for a vigorous recovery. Everything seems so normal and adapts to the laws of nature.
Just as people are making great strides towards reform and opening up, a small county in northwest China is still silent in the years. Economic construction has made Shenzhen become the Pearl of the East overnight, but here it is slowly waiting. Times slowly changed him and he was slowly forgotten in the long river of history.
Ping County is such an ordinary place in northwest China. This county, so ordinary and so ordinary that people can forget it, gave birth to a special being. From time to time, people wearing Taoist robes and buns can be seen outside the county hospital, and these people seem to be waiting for something.
March in the south may already be full of willow catkins, but in the north people still feel a chill from time to time. Xu Wanting was covered with a thick quilt and leaned alone in the obstetrics ward of the hospital. She kept touching her pregnant belly with her hands. Since she became pregnant, she has been tormented by the little life in her belly almost every day. Despite this, he was still secretly happy. After all, this was the first time that the 23-year-old had experienced the joy of becoming a mother.
Xu Wanting is a new music teacher in the county middle school. In that era when college students were still rare, Xu Wanting, an outstanding student who graduated from the provincial normal college, declined the opportunity to stay in the provincial capital to teach in colleges and universities, and came to this ordinary place as always. Teaching could no longer be done in an ordinary county town. At that time, this spirit of dedication quickly spread throughout the county.
The delicate and elegant Xu Wanting quickly became the focus of the county. His unique temperament and extraordinary appearance not only conquered the teachers and students of the school, but also attracted many people who came here admiringly. When school is over, there are always many people of all kinds coming to the school gate, just to take a look at this "fairy from heaven" woman.
Of course, it also attracted many idle and undesirable elements in society.
On the way out of school one day, Xu Yating was targeted by several well-known gangsters in the county. Xu Yating, who was cautious and frightened, was forced into a small forest by a few people. Just when a few ferocious men were showing off their bestiality, a figure of a muscular man appeared. His resolute and strong appearance immediately attracted everyone. Lived the besieged Xu Yating. Just like the stories we often see about heroes saving beauties, a few gangsters were beaten to the point of losing their shit within the time it took to smoke a cigarette, and finally fled in a hurry.
The man who appeared was Qi Guohui, the father of the child in Xu Yating's belly. Qi Guohui is the deputy captain of the local fire squadron. Since he was born in a military family, he has inherited the military tradition since he was a child. In the many fire-fighting missions of the army, he was always at the forefront, and thus made many military exploits. At the age of 26, he also became the deputy squadron leader of the local fire brigade.
Soon the two came together as if arranged by God. From then on, no ruffian dared to take advantage of Xu Yating. In this way, they got married naturally. The elders in the family also felt that this was a match made in heaven, so no one objected. The story of the two of them became a favorite story sung in the streets at that time when information was underdeveloped.
A year later, Xu Yating became pregnant, and the young couple were naturally happy. The happiest person was Qi Guohui's old father, Qi Haishan. Qi Haishan is a veteran who participated in the Anti-Japanese War, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. After decades of fighting, he has naturally made outstanding achievements. He once served as the commander of an army. After his retirement, he applied to live in a rest house in Ping County where his son was located. After all, his wife passed away early, and there was only one child like Qi Guohui. After decades of fighting, he also wanted to accompany his son in peace for the rest of his life.
Qi Haishan, who is about to become a grandfather, also brought this nearly 70-year-old man back to life. His son Qi Guohui always has endless tasks to do, but it is Qi Haishan who really manages the busy schedule in the family. These days are the days when her daughter-in-law is expecting to give birth. Qi Haishan also comes to the hospital again and again to deliver chicken soup to his daughter-in-law, who he thinks is a girl. Xu Yating is also deeply moved and feels more and more grateful to this elderly father. .
In the evening, Xu Yating stood by the window and looked at the setting sun. A faint red color on the horizon was particularly conspicuous, like a burning cloud. Just when the red sunset slowly turned to the top of the hospital, Xu Wanting was shocked and her stomach hurt instantly. As a woman, Xu Wanting also knew at this time that she was about to give birth. I screamed involuntarily, and the old father who happened to be carrying chicken soup walked in. Seeing this posture, he quickly called the doctor and nurse. After a while, Xu Wanting was pushed into the operating room.
Qi Haishan was also sweating nervously and excitedly, and quickly went downstairs to call his son's army.
"Guohui, your wife is about to give birth. No matter what happens, come to the hospital right now. Do you hear me?" An anxious Qi Haishan said.
At this time, Qi Guohui put down the phone and quickly drove a jeep newly equipped by the team and rushed all the way to the hospital. The small county town was quickly arrived, and he ran all the way to the door of the operating room. It was his move that also alarmed a group of old Taoist priests at the entrance of the hospital, who were also waiting for the arrival of this extraordinary life.
Just when a group of Taoist priests were excited, an old Taoist man slowly walked up to the door of the hospital. He was dressed in rags and wore a worn-out Taoist robe, but he walked leisurely along the way, with smooth air and an immortal air. Many elderly Taoist priests saw his arrival from a distance, and the expressions of joy on their faces froze, and some embarrassment struck them.
The old Taoist priest walked to the group of people and stopped. Several old Taoists who looked like they were old and aged walked out of the crowd, bowed their hands and bowed to the old Taoist priest.
"Juniors, we have met our seniors."
Several Taoist priests at that time were still a little unbelievable when they saw their elders saluting this Taoist, and they began to speculate on the identity of this old Taoist.
The old Taoist waved his hand and said slowly: "Okay, let's all disperse. It's difficult for you all. There is a poor Taoist here today, so don't worry, everyone."
After the old Taoist finished speaking, several old men looked at each other in confusion. They wanted to say something but did not dare to say it. They only sighed and saluted again, and walked away unwillingly with their disciples.
Several Taoist priests who followed behind asked at a loss: "Master, who is this? We have been waiting for so many days, why did he just say a word and we left."
When one of the old men heard this, he turned around and sighed: "Hey, with such an expert here, it's futile for us to wait. I just asked why such a once-in-a-century genius was born without auspicious celestial phenomena. It turns out that the expert is here." This suppresses the celestial phenomena. In short, the birth of this little baby is also a blessing for our Taoist sect. I hope that Senior Tianfeng can make him welcome."
Hearing Tianfeng's name, the young Taoist priest behind him couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes open and speechless.
At this time, a loud cry came from the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, and even the old Taoist standing at the door heard it. The old Taoist raised the corner of his mouth and walked inside with a flick of his sleeves.
The baby boy born was the protagonist of this story, and was later named Qi Huanxin. This baby boy grew up to become a Taoist master.
