At this time, the layman also came in. She quickly squeezed out from the crowd and said, "Minister Yang, don't kick, don't kick. I'll call Master Jiyunni to get up."
What Jiyunni Master? Isn't it Tan Anyi who is pretending to be a ghost? Minister Yang, who said this boldly in the Buddhist hall, is the head of the rebel headquarters of Shijiafan Brigade.
The laywoman didn't care what others thought. She was about to kneel down and bow to Master Jiyunni. Before she could bend her waist, she saw Master Jiyunni sitting cross-legged on the futon and suddenly his whole body fell down and turned into a pile of pure white. There was ashes of a human body, and a delicate, fragrant white lotus as big as a wheel bloomed on top of the ashes. Everyone was shocked, even Minister Yang, who was so unscrupulous just now, was shocked.
The layman kept kneeling and praying to the white lotus on the ashes of the human body. After about 30 seconds, the white lotus disappeared, and a gust of wind blew up. The pile of human ashes floated up, through the corridor and out of the courtyard like eyes. Looking into the sky, leaving nothing behind.
what's going on? Minister Yang looked at the layman and asked.
It was Master Jiyunni who burned herself with divine fire, sacrificed her life, and became a Taoist. She was reborn in the Western Paradise. Who else will you arrest and criticize? Who else is rebelling? The layman spoke bluntly to Minister Yang.
A group of radicals looked at each other in silence.
At this moment, I don't know who shouted, "Go quickly, don't offend the gods and Buddhas." All the radicals were no longer radical and turned around and exited Baji Temple in droves. Minister Yang, what are you afraid of? , In fact, his heart was trembling, and he also exited Bajian. Only the layman was kneeling on the futon where Jiyun nun had meditated, clasping his hands and saluting a row of tall and solemn Buddha and Bodhisattva statues in front of him.
There is a wealthy family in Xianrendong Village, Shizi Town, Qianshan County, Jiangnan. The husband is named Shi Ende. He is as good as his name. He often does good deeds and is very kind to the tenants who rent their fields. Whenever there is a bad harvest, he always The rent is collected for free; the wife's name is Yang Liuqing, she knows acupuncture, and often does good deeds under the influence of her husband. She often gives pairs of shoes and socks made by herself to some lonely elderly people in the village who are handicapped for free.
Naturally, the couple has a good reputation locally. But they had a heart problem. They had been married for more than seven years and had no children. They didn't know whether it was the husband or the wife. What was valuable was that they didn't help each other, suspect or complain about each other, nor did they seek medical advice. They just let nature take its course.
Some people are talking behind their backs: Have Mr. and Mrs. Schneider done something immoral, or are they going to have a divorce? When these words reached Shi Ende's ears, he smiled bitterly and was not too angry. He just blamed himself and said to himself: Could it be that our Shi family has really done something immoral? But he couldn't remember what he had done. Since you or your wife cannot have children, you should think that you have done something immoral!
In order to make up for this fault that he admitted but was fictitious, Shi Ende discussed with his wife to reduce the rent of the rented land by half every year, and the other half was regarded as a charity donation to the tenants. In the first year of implementation, local governments praised it.
When liberation was approaching, Shi Ende's family simply sold off all their fields and gave away all the proceeds. In this way, in the era of class classification after liberation, the Schneider couple who should have been classified as landlords or rich peasants and who would accept the dictatorship of the proletariat were classified as poor and lower-middle peasants.
In the special years when class struggle was the core, some people wanted to stir up trouble in Shi Ende's old account. At a mobilization meeting held in the commune to criticize land-rich, anti-revolutionary and evil right-wingers, a tenant who had rented Shi Ende's farmland was called to the stage to expose it. , but the tenant came on stage and said, I have nothing to say. I only remember that before liberation, Uncle Shi Ende asked me to do work and was very polite to me. Their family entertained us workers with meat and fish, and I ate sauerkraut and radish, which was very frugal. . If I say he is bad, it would be against my conscience, unless my conscience is bad...
Get out. One of the cadres presiding over the meeting waved his hand and scolded the tenants back then for telling the truth and the current members of the commune for not having a firm stance.
When the man came down from the stage, no one exposed Shi Ende's crimes. On the contrary, the members in the audience who were familiar with his history all whispered that Shi Ende was a good person. In this way, the cadres had no reason to take Shi Ende to the stage to criticize him.
As a member of the club, his wife Yang Liuqing, who was sitting silently in the middle of the audience, was frightened and trembling. Now that there was no danger, she was filled with gratitude in her heart. , after the meeting, I went to the Immortal Cave on the mountain behind the house to burn incense to the natural stone Immortal, and pray for the member who did not speak ill of others without conscience, but only spoke good things truthfully.
Yang Liuqing came out of the cave and wandered around. After returning home, she fell into bed and fell asleep. Then she felt that she had walked into the fairy cave again, and saw a big white snake waving its head and tail towards her. She was frightened and screamed, I woke up unexpectedly and realized I had a dream.
Husband Shi Ende was making midnight snacks in the lighted room when he heard a cry from the bedroom. He quickly came out, walked to the door of the bedroom and asked, "Liu Qing, what is your name?" Yang Liuqing simply put on her clothes and sat up, leaning against the bed, looking as if she was in shock.
Then he told the story of the strange dream he had just had. Unexpectedly, Shi Ende happily said that this dream was well done.
What a good idea? Yang Liuqing, who was getting up, asked incomprehensively.
Shi Ende didn't answer, just smiled. Then he changed the topic and told me that I knew you were tired, so I didn’t even call you when I was making midnight snacks and let you sleep. When you fell asleep, you had a good dream.
Yang Liuqing asked again, what's so good about it? Schneider said, you won't know until later. This made Yang Liuqing confused and muttered to himself: I know! Husband, what a ghost.
After a late supper that night, Shi Ende pulled Yang Liuqing to sleep. Yang Liuqing glanced at him and said, Pig, you can sleep after eating. Aren't you afraid of getting fat? I am fat to begin with, but others call me fat sister-in-law. When Shi Ende and Yang Liuqing pulled her to bed, they still smiled and said, "Didn't you have a dream?" I want your dream to come true.
Yuanmeng, are you going to let the big white snake wrap around me and bite me to death? Yang Liuqing, who was taking off her clothes to reveal her pure white body, said coquettishly.
Don't sound so scary. Shi Ende, who also has the thick celestial body now, said, holding Yang Liuqing in his arms, and then moved the clouds and rain to his heart's content.
A week later, Yang Liuqing, who was due to have her period, did not. What was the reason? , she went to the town health center for a check-up, and the doctor happily told her that she was pregnant with Maomao (little baby). Yang Liuqing didn't believe it and said that I was 45 years old and hadn't gotten pregnant after more than ten years of marriage. I asked how could I get pregnant at such an old age?
The doctor shrugged his white coat slightly and said, "There are a lot of strange things!" . Isn't it a good thing to be pregnant? Of course, you should also note that you are considered an advanced pregnant woman.
Yang Liuqing told Shi Ende the news when he got back, and Shi Ende was not surprised. He hugged Yang Liuqing's body as if hugging their future baby, and said with a smile, Liu Qing, in fact, I have already predicted that you will be pregnant, because didn't you have a dream about a big white snake some time ago? ? Tell you that dreaming about snakes may give birth to children.
What's the basis? Yang Liuqing asked, and pushed away her husband's hand around her body, feeling that it was too tight and uncomfortable.
This is what people say, and it often comes true. As for the basis! It's very mysterious and no one can explain it clearly. Having said this, Shi Ende loosened his arms around his wife.
, only 9 months later, his hands actually picked up the baby from the hospital that his wife had delivered by caesarean section, and it was a baby boy. When he was carrying him home, he passed by a field and suddenly remembered a name, so he said to his wife who was walking with him, "Liu Qing, let's call our little baby Shi Zaitian!"
Okay, it would be nice to have a field! Yang Liuqing was so sure that the big white snake that was lingering around her in her dream came to mind again. She had changed from the fear in the past to the comfort now. She was even a little grateful to the big white snake that might have been reincarnated. .
What is strange is that Shi Zaitian, who was only three days old, could call her dad and mom. I saw that he still had a thick belly on his head, and there were no teeth in his mouth at all, but his screams were so clear. , the couple was both happy and surprised, and even feared that a monster would be born, which would be detrimental to the family. And the more I thought about it, the more panicked I became.
Shi Zaitian, who was cradled in swaddling clothes with a pair of bright eyes, saw this. He was afraid that his parents would be upset by this, and he never spoke again.
But this baby was very well-behaved. Whenever he had to poop or before peeing, he would pretend to cry, and he looked like he was smiling but not smiling. When his mother noticed him, he would use one small hand to scratch his lower body. When his mother understood, she would immediately pick up his feces or urine and handle them cleanly.
Ordinary children would not be so well-behaved. Most of them would have the natural experience of wetting their diapers or sheets, which was not a shame but was considered childish, but Shi Zaitian did not.
When Shi Zaitian was one and a half years old, it was the end of the year. There was a lot of petty theft in the local area. Some families hung the fragrant bacon and fish in the low kitchen, but thieves broke into the house or broke the tiles from the roof. Some thieves thought they didn't steal enough, and even took the oil cans filled with vegetable oil or lard.
This made people in Xianrendong Village panic, and they did not dare to sleep deeply at night. Most of the people who had a lot of bacon were on duty in the middle of the night.
Shi Ende did the same. He built a makeshift bunk in the firewood corner of the kitchen where bacon and fish were hung, and he lay there to watch.
Unexpectedly, Shi Zaitian, who was able to speak boldly, said to him, Dad, you don’t have to sleep in the firewood corner and don’t be afraid of thieves. During the day, I sprayed talisman water on the front and back of the house, as well as on the doors and windows. If thieves dare to come, they will suffer disaster. How can they steal things?
Even though Shi Zaitian spoke like an adult, Shi Ende still didn't believe it and continued to sleep on the floor in Chaimanao. In the middle of the night when everything was quiet, I suddenly heard a "crack" sound outside the door, as if someone had fallen down. After being awakened, Shi Ende stood up, put on his coat, opened the door, and shined a bright flashlight on him, and saw a short figure limping around to the left side of the house.
He suspected that he was a thief, but after all, there was no break-in and there was no damage to his home, so Shi Ende did not pursue him. He retreated to the room, closed the door, and lay down on the floor in a corner. The short figure he had just seen appeared in his mind. He looked familiar, and then he thought about it. That person was Tu Lengji from nearby Beizhuang. He once went to the street to steal I ate steamed buns in a restaurant, got beaten up, and knelt under the hot sun for an hour.
Early the next morning, Shi Ende hugged his son who was standing in front of him and said, Zaitian, you are really right. The talisman water you sprayed is powerful. Last night, a thief came to our house. Not only did he not steal anything, I suspect that his feet All were injured.
There is no doubt that the thief must have injured his foot. That's good, it will be inconvenient to steal things in the future, and our village will be more peaceful, Dad! You don’t have to sleep in a firewood nook to guard the bacon every night. Shi Zaitian said this with a slight smile on his face.
Will the foot injured by the thief recover? Schneider asked.
I will not say anymore. Unless the thief comes to find me. Shi Zaitian pouted and spoke mysteriously.
The little brat is even showing off his skills. Shi Ende said, placing the child in his arms on the ground again.
