About a quarter later, it was early autumn. But the weather was still hot. After Yin Tianqing had lunch and walked around the house, he took a nap on the bamboo bed as usual, snoring lightly. Tian Jingui sat next to him and fanned him gently, but he could not dry the sweat on his son's forehead, so he would wipe him with a dry towel from time to time. While wiping, I heard Yin Tianqing murmuring in her sleep - Dad, I don't believe what you said...
Tian Jingui was about to answer his question about his sleeping son, but stopped immediately. She recalled that when she was a child, her grandmother said that when a person talks in sleep, one must not answer the conversation. If the person in the dream says that you are going to die, then you may actually die. Although Tian Jingui has not been able to experience this kind of thing personally, she believes that her grandmother's words are correct.
At this moment, Tian Jingui waited patiently for Yin Tianqing to wake up and washed his hands and face. He really woke up, and when he was about to ask him, he spoke first, Mom, I had a strange dream, I dreamed about my father. Tian Jingui asked, what did dad tell you? Yin Tianqing paused for a moment, as if he was afraid of violating a taboo and did not tell the inside story. He only said, "I don't believe what my father said."
Tian Jingui said, son! What are you telling your mother to be afraid of? There is no need to be secretive. Yin Tianqing whispered, Mom, dad told me in the dream that after his death, the King of Hell demoted him to be reborn as a pig, and he would be born in three days. He also said that the sow raised by Gong Zhuang's family in Gongjiafan Village was the mother pig who gave birth to him. Dad was afraid that I wouldn't believe it, so he emphasized that the mother pig gave birth to a total of 7 piglets, and one of them, a black sow with a white flower on its belly, was his reincarnation. Mom, I still don’t believe it. How could Dad turn into a pig after his death?
Tian Jingui said in his heart: Your father has done many bad things, and turning into a pig after death is the punishment given to him by the King of Hell. Of course she wouldn't say that, but echoed her son, "I don't believe it when the sky is clear. Death is like a lamp going out, nothing will change." Besides, dreams are always the opposite. Even if a person dies, things will really change. But the more you dream about your dad turning into a pig, the less likely he is to turn into a pig, and maybe he will turn into a dragon that can move the wind and rain. Yin Tianqing said, if he becomes a dragon, as a son, I will be happy for him.
Three days later, Yin Tianqing suddenly remembered the dream again, and begged his mother to take him to Gong Zhuang's house in Gongjiafan Village to have a look. Tian Jingui refused, so he took his son to his parents-in-law's house in Yinjiazhuang and told them about the strange dream his son had had. The two old men also doubted their belief, but decided to go to Gong Zhuang's house in Gongjiafan Village to check whether their sow had given birth to a black sow piglet with white flowers on its belly.
In this way, father-in-law Yin Shigui went there that day and walked to the door of Gong Zhuangjue's house. When Gong Zhuangjuan saw him, he went up to him and asked politely, "Uncle Yin, rare visitor!" Rare visitor! What wind brings you here? Yin Shigui was silent for a long time, then brushed his gray hair and said slowly, "I came to see my son."
What? Gong Sovereignty asked doubtfully.
I came to see my son. Yin Shigui repeated.
Gong Zhuangfa frowned and thought: Are you old and confused? Isn't your son dead? Why did you come to my house? But he didn't say it out loud because he wasn't happy anyway. Because Yin Shigui's words touched the pain in his heart - before Yin Zhixian died, he brought disaster to his daughter-in-law Gong Juzi's marriage. Gong Juzi committed suicide by diving for this reason. Fortunately, he was rescued by Hong Qingshan. Now they have become a happy couple who have been together for a hundred years. If Yin Zhixian had not died, Gong Juzi might have been forced to death in the end. Gong Zhuangjue was very angry when he thought of this, but he tried his best to suppress himself and only said some sarcastic words. Uncle Yin, as far as I know, your son Yin Manyuan has gone to the "Yin" country to be a county magistrate. We will never find Yin again in the Yang world. The county magistrate is here, how can we find our family?
Sovereignty! Don't say that. Yin Shigui spoke soberly and without any ambiguity. He leaned closer to Gong Zhuangguo and lowered his voice. My son did not do good things when he was alive. After his death, he was reincarnated as a pig. It is said that he was born to your pig mother-in-law.
How can you see it? Gong Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment and asked, with a look of surprise on his face. Then he continued, my mother-in-law did give birth to a litter of piglets this morning, a total of 7 piglets. I don’t believe that your son, who once served as a magistrate, was reincarnated as a pig and was born to my pig mother-in-law.
My grandson dreamed that his father Yin Manyuan told him. It is said that your mother-in-law gave birth to 7 piglets. One of them, a black sow with a white flower on its belly, was the reincarnation of his father Yin Manyuan. Yin Shigui spoke plausibly, but his son's mood was more urgent.
Uncle Yin, I didn’t notice that among the seven piglets in my family, there was a black sow piglet with a white flower on its belly. If there really was that piglet, I would recognize it; if not, you should stop spreading rumors. Gong Zhuangjuan said, and immediately led Yin Shigui into the house, through the central hall, and to the pig house in the backyard. His wife, Qi Xin, was caressing Granny Pig as she lay on the ground covered with hay. The piglets lay side by side on Granny Pig's belly, sucking milk. Gong Zhuangjuan suddenly asked her, Qi Xin, is there a black sow piglet with a bunch of white flowers on its belly among the seven piglets?
have! Qi Xin answered while grabbing a black sow piglet and showing its belly. There was indeed a bunch of white flowers growing on it.
Sovereignty, do you see it? This shows that my son was indeed reincarnated into the belly of your sow and was born this morning. Yin Shigui said so. Qi Xin looked at him with strange eyes, as if asking: What are you talking about?
Gong Zhuangguo nodded slightly. Since Yin Shigui was right, he had to believe it.
Yin Shigui added that when this black sow piglet with a bunch of white flowers on its belly reaches one month old, you must sell it to me and not to anyone else. Gong Zhuangjue said generously: After the full moon, you come to catch it, and I will give it to you without any money. Qi Xin rolled her eyes at Gong Zhugeru with dissatisfaction.
Yin Shigui said, "I won't ask your family to give it away for free. I will still pay according to the market price of the piglets."
Gong Zhuangjuan said, "However, if you don't come to catch this pig after it is one month old, and someone else comes to pick a pig to buy, and if you pick it, then I will sell it to others." Yin Shigui said, if this pig is one month old, I will definitely come. If I come a day or two late, don't sell it to others, just say that this pig has been pre-ordered. Gong Zhuge Liang said yes! Just like Qi Xin, he looked at the white hair on its belly carefully.
Since it was unable to be put back on the mother-in-law's belly to let her lie down to nurse, she felt uncomfortable, so she kicked up her legs, twisted around, grinned and screamed "ta-ta-ta". This sounded heartbreaking to Yin Shigui, as if it was his own son Yin Manyuan. Calling.
After the full moon, Yin Shigui took the black sow piglet with a white flower on its belly and took it home to raise. Because he knew that he was reincarnated as a son, he treated him as a son even though he was an animal. A pig house was specially built, with bluestone slabs on the floor and a layer of cotton batting on the bluestone floor. The cotton batting was also covered with a floral quilt to make it comfortable for him to lie down while sleeping;
The food is also good. Yin Shigui and his wife are very good to it. They usually eat rice with fresh vegetables and tender vegetables that are very flavorful with oil and salt. Every now and then, they make bone soup or something and send it to the pig pen for them to eat. A few months later, the piglet had grown into a "rough pig" with a fat head and big ears.
