A few days later, Liu Liu heard from people in Meishan Town that Xiazi gave birth to a baby boy who looked like a monster, with a donkey face, a frog's mouth, and a gap in his upper lip. He was said to have to go to the hospital for surgery to sew it up. Just fine. This kind of natural disfigurement is very worrying. Someone asked Xia Zi, saying that when she was pregnant with her child, she ate the donkey meat that was sold to others and also ate the frogs that were given to her, so the child she gave birth to looked strange. Liu Liuliang thought about how Xiazi and her husband were unhappy when he was asking for debt. He thought that he must be blaming himself. It seemed that the 440 yuan he owed him would never be repaid. The child was born with that weird look, and they couldn't wait to find it. He was talking nonsense, but he couldn't give a reason.
The strange thing is that not long after, Xiazi's husband took the initiative to return the 440 yuan to Liu Liu, and it was not Liu Liu who came to ask for it, but he personally sent it to Liu Liu's home. Liu Liu felt that the sun was rising from the west. He didn't know why, and he didn't want to ask. He only asked with concern, has your child's illness been cured?
You don't care. Xiazi's husband didn't want to talk about this topic, so he turned around and walked through a field. He looked towards the west mountain. There was a temple on the other side of the mountain. What Master Jingkong said in the temple made him feel uneasy, but not doubtful. Dare to make mistakes.
Not long after their child was born, his child became ill and had a fever all day long. He was given intravenous injections in the hospital to lower the fever. After returning home, the symptoms returned, and he went to the hospital for treatment again and again, but could not be cured. A doctor with some knowledge of Buddhism whispered to Xia Zi, I suspect that this child is suffering from sinister disease. You'd better go to Xishan Temple and ask Master Jingkong to see if he has any solution.
Xiazi immediately agreed with her husband to leave the hospital that day and took the child to Xishan Temple. Xiazi and her husband burned incense in front of the Bodhisattva's altar on behalf of the child, kowtowed, and then asked Master Jingkong for help, asking what disasters the child had suffered. Sorry, can it be cured? Since the child had been sick, they were in no mood and didn't even give him a name. Master Jingkong carefully looked at his donkey face and frog lips, and said that this child was the reincarnation of a donkey. He also said that Xiazi and her husband were in the butchering profession in their past lives and had killed many donkeys for sale. This child was the body of a donkey in his past life, and Before they reached adulthood, they were bought and slaughtered as donkey cubs. This has already created sin. In this world, they still like to eat donkey meat, especially Xiazi. When she was pregnant, she had a bad idea and she would die miserably under the railway tracks. She bought a donkey to eat meat. This donkey had a grudge against her in the past life, and now it is eaten by her. The ghost of this donkey can't let go of the grudge, so it follows the law of cause and effect and comes to collect debts. That is to say, the ghost of this donkey drove away another creature in Xia Zi's placenta, occupied the fetal position, and then begged her for debt after birth. Now that he has become a son, it is natural and only natural and right for him to collect debts from his mother and this family.
Xia Zi said, since he is my son, there is nothing I can do to collect the debt. I just want to cure my son's disease.
His illness is caused by your unkindness, unrighteousness, and unkindness as a couple. When Master Jingkong said this, Xia Zi and her husband remained silent. The baby in her arms started to cry for some reason. Xia Zi lowered her head and saw that the breast she was feeding the baby had strayed from his mouth, so she stuffed the breast into his mouth again, which stopped the crying. Xia Zi's hand stuffing her breasts was stained with a few tears from the baby. As she wiped away the tears, she glanced at the baby's frog lips and asked Master Jingkong what was going on. Master Jingkong said, Maybe you figured it out because you ate frog meat when you were pregnant. In fact, this is only a secondary inducement. The key is that you yourself are usually too contemptuous and contemptuous of those who are slightly ugly, so God wants to punish you and make the baby you give birth to be uglier than those ugly people. Look. What do you think?
It seems that we can no longer blame Liu Liu. He was kind-hearted and sold you donkey meat to eat, and also gave you frog meat to eat. At this moment, Xia Zi's husband turned his resentful eyes to Xia Zi and said that our family had to repay the money he owed him, and it would be unkind and unjust to default on the debt!
Master Jingkong looked at the child in Xia Zi's arms and said that this was the reason why he had recurrent fevers and the disease rebounded.
Please ask the Master to teach us how to cure the child's disease. After Xia Zi finished speaking, her husband added, how can we prevent our child from having a fever? Master Jingkong said that fever is caused by excessive internal fire, and internal fire is caused by thoughts of anger. He bluntly accused Xia Zi, "You think that your child has become so ugly because he ate donkey meat and frog meat, so you hate Liu Liu who sells donkey meat and gives you frog meat to eat." Li thought: If you, Liu Liuxiu, want to get back the debt, we will give you an advantage if we don't argue with you. If we don't tell the truth, you should understand. Master Jingkong smiled slightly and continued, "Both of you and your wife have this mentality, a hateful mentality full of revenge, which has turned into a scalding disease and invaded your child's weak body. Can he not have a fever?"
So how can we get rid of the heat-burning disease? Kasuko's husband asked anxiously. Master Jingkong said, both of you and your wife must repent and get rid of your hatred, especially you must not complain or hate Liu Liu. Liu Liu is not guilty. It is you who are guilty.
According to what the Master said, the money our family owes Liu Liu must be repaid every penny? Kasuko intervened.
Without even taking this action, where is your sincerity in repenting? Not only is the child's illness difficult to get better, it is also likely to get worse. Master Jingkong said it bluntly.
We will repay that debt. Xia Zi's husband took a firm stance out of fear and asked Master Jingkong to name the child Shunshi.
The father who took advantage of the situation was named Qiu Dakui, and Qiu Dakui fulfilled his promise to repay the loan that day. In the evening, the fever subsided smoothly, and the condition no longer rebounded until recovery, which only took two days. Xia Zi said that what Master Jingkong said is really effective. It seems that we should do good deeds to accumulate virtue for ourselves, that is, pray for our children.
Xia Zi was a very face-conscious person, and the "V"-shaped notch on the child's upper lip was very unpleasant to her eyes, and she was even more afraid of others laughing at them for giving birth to an ugly son to a beautiful couple.
When talking about the child's natural disfigurement, Xiazi sighed, and Qiu Dakui took the opportunity to blame her, saying that this is God's punishment for you. Who told you to despise ugly people when you see them? Xia Zi did not admit defeat. While looking at the child sleeping in the rocking nest, she turned her head and criticized in a low voice, "This is not my child, but your descendant. Why should I say that God is punishing me?" Why don't you say that God is retributing you? When Qiu Dakui saw that his wife was seriously upset, he smiled and calmed down the atmosphere, saying that it was meaningless for us to say this. Let's take the child to the provincial capital hospital for plastic surgery, which would be good for the child and for us.
