A few days later, Shaoguan Liu found a woman and a little boy kneeling by the grave of the plague patient, kowtowing and saying something. He walked over from a distance and saw that the little boy's head was covered with blisters and bruises. , runny water, and an unpleasant fishy smell. Although it is not dysentery, the head is not as ugly as a dysentery head.
Liu Shaoguan asked: Why do you come here to pay homage to my family's newly deceased Ryuzu? The little boy whose head was covered with blisters remained silent and kept kowtowing.
The woman raised her head, looked at Mr. Liu, and said that her child had committed an evil act and had blisters all over his head. He had been to many hospitals but could not be cured.
Once when I came out of Linxiang Hospital, I met a monk wearing cassocks. He glared at the child, then closed his eyelids slightly, looking very peaceful, and clasped his hands together and recited: Amitabha, this is retribution. After hearing this, she felt that there was something in the monk's words, so she asked, but the monk said it was an evil obstacle.
What evil? She took the child and asked the monk to take a closer look at it, and finally asked for a clue - the reason why the child received such retribution was because he laughed and scolded a scolding man in the school, which was not a heavy blow. It's just that he shouldn't write songs to ridicule the poor man, and he often bullies him because he hates him. The monk said that it is very difficult to heal the rotten blisters on the skull, unless one has to find the sick man to repent, confess his guilt, etc. According to the monk's explanation, the woman took her child to look for him, but when she heard that he had died of illness, she went to his grave and knelt down to apologize.
Liu Shaoguan said with some disbelief: Are you really that amazing? He didn't care about such things, turned around and left. Later, his wife was unable to give birth to a boy, and the neighbors said: This family's people are too vicious, and they beat and injured a scoundrel they picked up for adoption, leaving him to die of illness. Will such a family be more popular in the future? No wonder his wife couldn't have a baby boy.
The strange thing is that after his only son, Craftsman Liu, married Ma Daoying, he gave birth to 6 girls, but not a boy. They all dreamed of giving birth to a boy, especially Craftsman Liu who often remembered his father's last words, which made him feel difficult. The feeling of guilt. They had no choice but to hold on to a glimmer of hope. Before having sex with Ma Daoying, they looked to the west and knelt down, hoping that the great and merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva would send them a son.
As everyone knows, Craftsman Liu's ancestors had harmed their moral character when it came to raising children, and the retribution would be upon his generation, who should be cut off from their incest. The couple worshiped occasionally but did not pay attention to doing good deeds, and their worship was in vain. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who is worshiped by the world as the Queen of Gifting Children, only gives children to families who are good-hearted. Craftsman Liu and Ma Daoying simply do not understand these principles.
Besides, on the night when the spirit of the rat spirit came, Craftsman Liu and his wife were having sex. It comes to the bedside and is infected by their happy feeling. Ma Daoying said, this time you have to subconsciously ask for a long one.
I hope so. Craftsman Liu seemed to have no intention of talking about this issue, and was working happily. Gary's voice was like a frog croaking, rising and falling. The soul of the rat spirit was really infected. It suddenly sneaked into Craftsman Liu's male root, and with it, it excitedly became an embryo full of vitality in Ma Daoyingzi G. At this moment, it changed from the soul of the rat spirit into the bardo body. So the former and the latter became father and mother at the same time.
The moment Craftsman Liu took his breath, a bardo body transformed from the Bamboo God appeared and was about to be reincarnated into Ma Daoying's body. The rat spirit's bardo fought back, preventing it from invading the mother's womb that it already had a monopoly on.
It tells the cause and effect - in the past life, there was a cattle dealer named Xin Taitu in Niutoushan Village. He specialized in buying dead cattle, skinning them and selling the beef to market stalls. But under normal circumstances, not many cattle die, especially in spring, it is necessary to protect the cattle and prepare them for plowing, so that they will not die if they are stuck in the ground.
But the strange thing is that in this mountain village, cows are prone to die, and they always die in the cow pen at night. The owner of the cow got up in the morning and prepared to herd the cow, but found that the cow had fallen in the pen, its eyes were still open, but its body was stiff. The owner of the cow didn't know what was going on. After careful inspection, he found that there was no injury on the dead cow. Could it be that it had rinderpest? They were all so suspicious and didn't keep it public. They only sold the cow carcass to Xin Taitu at a low price.
In the spring of that year, someone came to the county government to report that the buffalo of Liu Xiangzi's family in Niutoushan Village had died in the middle of the night. The cause of death was unknown. Some people suspected that it was caused by the plague. The county magistrate Hong Facai immediately sent a veterinarian to the scene to examine the dead buffalo. Before selling it to Xin Taitu, the veterinarian dissected the cow's internal organs and found that there was a strong medicinal smell in its stomach. It was concluded that it was not a plague. It was obvious that someone fed poison to the cow and poisoned it to death.
The veterinarian went back to report the truth. Hong Facai was very angry. He summoned a group of patrol officers and raised his voice and said: It is the spring plowing season, but several cattle poisoning cases have occurred in Niutoushan Village. This is tantamount to destroying spring plowing production. The bad guy who poisoned the cow must be caught and punished.
At that moment, a team led by a government official named Sun Ming rushed to Niutoushan Village to check every house to see who had hidden poisonous liquid similar to that in the stomach of cows. After a whole day of checking, no trace was found, so they had to go inside. During the investigation in the mountain village, they found that Craftsman Liu had fresh beef in his house, so he stared at him and asked: Where did he get the beef?
Bought it from the beef stall on the street. Craftsman Liu replied.
Sun Ming was smart and asked him to take the fresh beef to a beef stall on the street to check, but he couldn't get it right. The stall owner with bulging veins on his forehead denied that Artisan Liu bought beef at his stall. When asked when he bought it, Artisan Liu was hesitant to tell. Sun Ming grabbed his ear and said: Tell the truth, where does this fresh beef come from? If you don't tell me, I'll cut off your ears. Craftsman Liu was so frightened that his legs and feet were shaking: I said, I said, find a place to talk.
Sun Ming pulled Craftsman Liu aside, and he slowly recounted the scene he recalled: Last night, Craftsman Liu rushed back to Neishan Village from the county seat. When passing through Niutoushan Village, he felt anxious and needed to relieve himself. There was a row of thatched huts in front of him. Entering an open hut, it was dark inside. He lit a match and took a look, and then he saw clearly that there were two rooms. One room contained a buffalo, which was lying on the ground with regurgitated fodder in its mouth; There is a urinal, two wooden boards laid side by side, forming a strip-shaped pit in the middle.
Craftsman Liu squatted on it for convenience and threw away the embers of the match in his hand. After a while, very slight footsteps came from outside the house, which reminded him of the whereabouts of a thief. Was he a thief? Not sure yet. He retreated to the firewood pile of the thatched hut, hunkered down, and looked toward the door. A dark shadow came in. Due to the faint starlight outside the door, Craftsman Liu could easily see clearly in the dark. Suddenly, a match was lit up in the black shadow, and the flames allowed him to see the appearance of the man clearly. He was Xin Taitu, the beef dealer. He was seen holding a big-bellied skin bag with a long mouth and prying open the buffalo's body. mouth, stuff the long mouth inward, and then pinch the bulging skin hard.
At this time, the flames turned into embers. Craftsman Liu thought that since last winter, a cow had died every two days in the village. People thought it was rinderpest. It turned out that the beef dealer Xin Taitu was causing trouble. The skin bag in his big belly must be filled with highly poisonous liquid, and many cows may have been poisoned to death by him. Thinking of this, he was a little indignant, and with a sense of righteousness, he suddenly shouted: Xin Taitu, you are evil-minded in harming a sinister beast. I want to report to the official. Xin Taitu was shocked and ran away.
