Shi Lan didn't do any bad things in his life, and he died peacefully. When his soul came to the underworld, he was no longer as mentally retarded as when he was alive. He was already as smart as a normal person. However, he still smelled of pesticides. This was due to poisoning caused by accidentally drinking dirty farm water filled with pesticides before his death. reason.
Now he also understands that his soul has been interrogated through the normal procedures of the Yin Division from the First Hall to the Ninth Hall. It is indeed clear that there is no crime, so he was transferred to the Zhuanjing Station.
When Pluto saw that he had died so young, he asked about the cause of death. He did not answer immediately and stood on the green steps in a daze. He was devastated by recalling the stench of his corpse, which was highly decomposed and infested with maggots, in the evil mirror. Of course Pluto knew his emotions. When he calmed down slightly, Pluto smiled and said, why care about the dead body? It is enough as long as the spirit remains immortal. Shi Lan understood what Pluto meant and lamented, I have lived a useless life.
Do you still want to be a human being? Hades asked him. He replied, if I can still change into a human being, please don't let me become a mentally retarded and confused person, as that would be a waste of time.
Your mental retardation is caused by evil and no one is to blame. Pluto enlightened him and you will not be mentally retarded in your next life. Shi Landao said, even if you are not mentally retarded, it won't work if you are too poor! do you know? I have lived in ignorance in this life. Because I was hungry and thirsty, I drank the pesticide-laced field water.
Pluto is the holy priest appointed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. He has always been compassionate and made a vow: If I don’t go to hell, who will? If hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha. It means that we will never give up until all the sinful souls in hell are saved. At this moment, he saw that Shi Lan, who was innocent but had too few good roots, was pitiful, so he asked the gods to give Shi Lan, who was reincarnated as a human again, two gods of wealth to help him make a fortune and enjoy happiness.
In a village in northern Liaoning, there is a courtyard-style house. The family's surname is Ma, and there are only two people. Ma Dagui married a daughter-in-law who fled from Heilongjiang when he was thirty.
Her name is Liu Zhen, and she became pregnant shortly after consummating her marriage with Dagui. She is very hard-working, and Gao even goes out to open up wasteland and grow vegetables in the mountains. Dagui took pity on her and told her not to do anything and not to use too much force so as not to hurt the fetus. When Dagui said this, she really felt a stomachache. Could it be that the child was moving around inside? She made a look of pain, bent her body, covered her stomach with both hands, her nose was tight, her face was a little pale, and she frowned listlessly.
Dagui looked heartbroken, so he carried her home from the mountain and made her sit on her back on a yellowed wicker chair. I asked her if she was feeling well, and she said she was feeling better now.
The next day, Liu Zhen's stomach hurt again. It was very severe, and she looked like she was going to give birth. Ma Dagui could no longer carry it, so he looked at a woman wearing plaid clothes passing by the door and shouted, "Please stay." The woman turned her face sideways in surprise. He pointed at his pregnant wife, who was sitting in a wicker chair and writhing in pain. The woman understood a little bit and asked, "How can I help?"
Ma Dagui begged, "take care of your sister-in-law for a while, and I'll go find the midwife." The woman smiled and said, you might as well let me help you find the midwife, who is my grandma.
Well, Ma Dagui let the woman go, but the midwife still didn't come until the end of the day. Liu Zhen was so painful that she was covered in sweat, and she was dying. Ma Dagui was resentful of that woman. Why was there no news about her as soon as she left? He wanted to help Liu Zhen go out to find the midwife, but she couldn't move around like this, her back couldn't do it, and her body, which was about to give birth, couldn't move.
When I was at my wits' end, a man wearing a gray and black "dog drill" hat came outside the door. He was wearing a homespun robe with an unknown bulge inside. He was carrying a shovel in his hand, like It is to do farm work.
Ma Dagui wanted to call him to stop him and help him take care of the mother-in-law who was about to give birth to a baby. This should not be done by a man, but in this situation, he couldn't care less. When he was about to shout, "Dog in the Hole" walked towards the door of his house with a smile on his face. Although there were overlapping wrinkles, he looked very capable. When he reached the door, he put down the spade in his hand, opened his homespun robe, and took out a box with a cross pattern on it. Ma Dagui understood and shouted happily, Granny Hong, you are finally here, I am so anxious.
Is it urgent? Didn’t I rush here as soon as my granddaughter said it?
Liu Zhen was still confused, but Ma Dagui looked at Granny Hong distractedly. Grandma Hong said, "What are you watching me do?" I don’t want to dress up as a man. It wouldn’t be safe to dress up as an old man who comes out to do farm work! Ma Dagui still didn't understand. Grandma Hong was not in a hurry to talk. She helped Liu Zhen with her big belly into the bedroom and asked Ma Dagui to close the door. She came in to take care of her daughter-in-law who was about to give birth, and then she told him something that surprised and indignant her.
A few days ago, a Japanese pirate came to her house, said she was a midwife, and asked her to hand over the baby. Why did she hand over the baby? The Japanese pirates said that the baby's meat was tender and crispy when grilled. Grandma Hong disguised herself as a man this time, of course, to cover her eyes, so that if the wandering Japanese pirates discovered her, they would cause trouble.
The Japanese pirates who are under the influence of dogs should be cut to pieces with thousands of swords. As soon as Ma Dagui finished speaking, the baby screamed. Grandma Hong had already taken out the pair of scissors from the box, carefully picked up the umbilical cord, cut off the excess part with a click, and stuffed it and the afterbirth into an earthen jar.
At this time, Liu Zhen stopped crying and lay weakly on the bed. She heard Granny Hong say, OK, congratulations, you are a boy. Ma Dagui said that if the boy is good, he should be named Ma Sheng. He will defeat the Japanese pirates in the future and be better than the Japanese pirates.
He asked Granny Hong, who was about to deliver the baby, if this name was good or not? Grandma Hong only cared about the reward for delivering the baby. She said casually, "Okay, the Japanese pirates are bad. Your son will definitely defeat the Japanese pirates in the future."
According to local etiquette, families who give birth to a baby have to ask the midwife to make a dental sacrifice and eat a bowl of shredded pork noodles with poached eggs or something. But at this moment, Granny Hong packed up the box and carried it in her hand, asking Dagui for payment before leaving. Dagui wanted to leave her with something to eat, but she said, no, there are Japanese pirates running around outside, and they will cause trouble if they are discovered. Dagui's foot accidentally tripped the earthen pot, and he asked with some embarrassment, how much would it cost?
Three hundred yuan. Grandma Hong also emphasized that the midwifery fee is the same and there is no need to overcharge you.
But my family doesn’t have that much money, can I give it a little later?
Grandma Hong put the "dog-drilling-hole" hat she had taken off back on and stood at the door without speaking.
Liu Zhen was taking care of the newborn baby who still had a fishy smell on the bed. Her attention was half divided, but she heard Grandma Hong's words clearly. Knowing that her husband did not have the money to pay for the delivery, she was also thinking about what to do. Send Grandma Hong away.
Suddenly the baby's body moved slightly and touched the jade bracelet on her wrist. This gave her an idea. She immediately took it off, stretched it out from the quilt and called Dagui. Dagui came over and asked, "What do you want to do?" Liu Zhen was weak and said softly, use this as a defense.
Ma Dagui understood. He took the jade bracelet and approached Grandma Hong and said, I originally bought this jade bracelet for 800 yuan as a gift to my wife. Now I only use it for 300 yuan. Can it be used to pay for the birth fee?
Grandma Hong browsed the jade bracelet carefully. The bright color and texture convinced her that it was a genuine piece, so she accepted it and said, "I know its value. I don't have any money to give you change now. When will you give me 300 yuan?" I will return this jade bracelet to you as usual.
