Song Yin in the last days

When Zhu Xiao was born, she was similar to other children, wrinkled and wrinkled, all of which were the treasures of her parents.

When he was one year old and learned to walk, it was broken. His legs and feet were obviously not sharp enough. The doctor said that the child had some bone problems and was born with a lame leg. His intellectual development seemed to be lower than that of children of the same age, and he was probably mentally handicapped. ...

The doctor blah blah, blah blah, and Zhuxiao's parents felt cold when they heard it. It's okay to have a problem with the body, but why is the brain abnormal?Thinking that both of them are people with high IQ, the elite of the elite, and the families on both sides are also very prosperous, how could it be possible to give birth to a child with dementia? ...Don't be a quack doctor, right? !

Holding on to the straw of "misdiagnosis", Zhu Xiao went to four hospitals and met with three and a half authorities in just half a month. An incurable congenital defect.The only difference is the intellectual problem or it is too early to say. After all, the child is too young, even if he is a little stupid, maybe he is not mentally retarded.

Zhu Xiao's parents almost collapsed, "Maybe they are not mentally retarded"?Does that mean they are mentally retarded anyway?How could a family like them raise a foolish son, and would they still have face when they talked about it?Because of this child, they, no, the entire Xu family and Wei family will become the laughing stock of the circle from now on...

By the way, Zhu Xiao was not called Zhu Xiao at that time, his surname was Xu Chang and his name was Xu Chang. From this name, it can be seen that at least when he was just born, his family had placed good expectations on him. However, All expectations stop on the day of being diagnosed as a "problem child".

Afterwards, Xu Wei'an and Wei Junliang (Zhu Xiao's biological parents) quickly made a decision to let the nanny take the silly son back to the countryside, out of sight and out of mind, and the other family members did not express any objection.

Originally, a demented child is not raised anywhere. Compared with those parents who abandon the disabled child, they give him enough living expenses so that he can live comfortably for the rest of his life.

Zhu Xiao's fate was thus settled. From that day on, he embarked on an unknown fork road covered with thorns but accompanied by wild flowers.

Zhu Xiao, who was less than two years old, was taken back to his hometown in the mountains by the nanny. His parents had no shortage of money and paid a large amount of money. "Parenting Fee" concentrates on being a live-in mother, taking care of her three children, and preventing Zhu Xiao from starving to death by the way.

In all fairness, Mrs. Gao is not a villain. Although she is like most nannies, she is the same as others. She is lazy when she can. When she was still in the Xu family, she had a bad record of not changing diapers for most of the day, etc., but she It's true that he didn't abuse Zhu Xiao intentionally, at most he beat him up a few times when his temper came up, he didn't bother to change his clothes for a month or two, he happily watched his children bully fools, and pretended to forget when he was short of food. The idiot hasn't eaten yet and so on—she's not a saint, and the idiot wasn't born by her, so she thinks she has a good conscience for not letting the idiot starve to death.

Zhu Xiao grew up slowly in a small mountain village and town. When he was nine years old, he had grown into a timid, thin, stupid little cripple as everyone expected. He was half a head shorter than other boys of the same age. I can't make a complete sentence, and I have never passed the exam.

That's right, Zhu Xiao did go to school, which is considered a miracle. From this incident, it can be seen that the peasant woman Gao is actually quite shrewd: because she raised a mentally handicapped child well, she raised a mentally handicapped child in elementary school. Not to mention an extra bonus, since then there will be an extra sum of money for school miscellaneous expenses every year, and the school is right next to the town, the teacher will not pay attention to a fool, and will not delay hunting pigweeds to do housework or something— — Yes, although Zhu Xiao has a bad mind, she can still take care of herself, and even do simple housework, such as washing dishes, washing clothes, feeding chickens, and killing pigweeds, etc...

One can imagine the fate of such a disabled child who lacks care. When he finally grows up, he will be nothing more than a member of the lowest ants, struggling in a dark corner, and he can't even see a trace of it. Sunlight.

But fate is really weird sometimes. The reason why Zhu Xiao became Zhu Xiao instead of Xu Chang is that one in ten-thousandth of fate... Well, it should be one in billions, which is equivalent to winning the Mark Six lottery... The opportunity he had hit by chance.

This matter has to start from the summer when he was nine years old.

That year, Zhu Xiao was still called Xu Chang, and lived in a very remote small mountain town, with no friends, relatives, or nothing.

That year, Zhu Xiao was in the second grade of novels. She couldn't read many big characters. She was limping on one leg and had a muzzled gourd. She only stammered out a few words when she was in a hurry. No matter adults or children in the town, Call him "Little Silly Lame".

Similarly, in that year, Zhu Xiao met the "Old Lady Zhu", Xu Chang became Zhu Xiao because of this, and his whole life was completely different because of that old lady.

The old lady Zhu moved to the town on a certain summer evening. There are many versions of rumors about the origin of the old lady Zhu.

Rumor [-]: When she was young, the old lady was the daughter of a nearby rich family, and she married the youngest son of the mayor. Later, the mayor was suppressed by the change of government, and the mayor’s son also committed suicide. The town is waiting for death to come.

When the above rumors were spreading, someone poured a spoonful of ice on it: nonsense, the old lady Zhu is obviously the living Guanyin during the famine years, I think everyone was starving to death, God is short-sighted and noisy When there was an epidemic, it was only thanks to the old lady's skillful hand to rejuvenate, relying on her superb medical skills to live the dead and heal the bones, that the epidemic was stopped halfway, and the tragedy of the neighboring counties was not caused...

The above is the second rumor, but this rumor has just started, and an old man stood up and spit: Oh, what a living Guanyin, then a witch... Do you know how she saved people back then?It was said that a big pit was dug in her house to feed worms, and it was said that dead people were used to feed them. Otherwise, if she saved so many people, everyone would drive her out of the town? ...Well, feeding the bugs with dead people, God knows what she is so happy about!

In addition to the above rumors, it is still version [-], version [-]... Anyway, since the old lady Zhu moved to the town, the townspeople seem to have an extra entertainment activity to discuss the origin of the old lady Zhu.I can't blame everyone for this matter, who made the old lady not fit in with this town, dressed like a townsman on TV, didn't like to socialize with people, couldn't see people in the sky, the yard of her house was so windy It is said that even mosquitoes don't like to fly in, and the whole thing is not human-eating...

However, everyone's rumors are rumors, and few people really believe it, and no one has the guts to go to the old lady to verify it.In fact, the villagers all kept a considerable distance from this old lady with finger gestures. The bamboo courtyard at the end of the town formed a very harmonious and peaceful coexistence with the town where it lived: the sound of chickens and dogs It is said that old age and death do not communicate with each other.

Of course, Zhu Xiao, who has a poor brain, knows nothing about these things, even though his interaction with Mrs. Zhu began very strangely on the first day Mrs. Zhu moved into the town.

That evening, the old lady Zhu who had just moved in went for a walk alone on the field ridge outside the town. It happens once every five times, and I can't manage it if I want to.Fortunately, this is the old lady Zhu, with good ears and eyes, she heard the shouts of the urchins clearly from a long distance, and immediately exploded with anger: these bad bones are forcing people to eat shit!

When did the simple town in memory become like this?

The old lady scowled and scolded the bad guys severely, and finally warned them that if they committed the crime again, she would beat them up.

The bad boys were intimidated by the aura of the old lady, and fled away. Zhu Xiao was also very scared in his heart, he lay on the ground and dared not move.The old lady sighed, frowned and pulled up the sour and smelly little doll. Seeing that the little doll didn't dare to lift her head, she sighed again, stuffed a few toffee in his hand, turned and left.

From the beginning to the end, the little doll didn't say a word, just like a clump of half-dead yellow bamboos, she stood on the ground lifelessly with her head down, until the old lady walked far away before secretly raising her little face to look at the old lady His back, his dirty little hands clinging to the toffee...

That day was Zhu Xiao's first day eating toffee, and he only ate one. The sweet taste made him remember his whole life.Then he foolishly hid the remaining sugar in the tree hole, and he couldn't find it the next day no matter what...

It stands to reason that eating toffee for the first time and losing the candy was a major event in Zhu Xiao's life, enough for him to be sad for a whole year. Days later another big event happened: Mrs. Bamboo fell ill.

Zhu Xiao was hunting pigweed outside the village that day, and the old lady was the first person in the town to show kindness to him. Out of the instinct of avoiding disadvantages, he subconsciously chose the location of pigweed hunting in the old lady's backyard In the field outside, his brain is not good but his ears are very effective. It didn't take long to hear the old lady's moaning softly in the yard. Zhu Xiao knew that it was the sound of illness, and Gao Ma also called it when she was sick.

Zhu Xiao listened in a daze for a long time, feeling a panic in his heart, as if a cat was crawling into his arms and scratching his heart, the burning was extremely uncomfortable, he didn't know what to do to feel better, so he had to surround Zhu's small house The courtyard circled, circled and circled...

Zhu Xiao didn't hustle a basket full of grass until dark that day. Fortunately, there was still some grass at home, and Gao's mother didn't let the third lady come over to call him, so she escaped a beating.

After dark, Zhu Xiao sneaked home, while the family was watching TV, he sneaked into the dark kitchen to steal a few bites of food. He was lucky, there was half a pot of porridge left in the pot, probably because the third lady refused to wash the dishes. down.

Putting the rice into the bowl, the little fool stared at the bowl in a daze for a long time. He sneaked out of the courtyard with the bowl in his hand—when he was feeling very uncomfortable, eating something would make him feel better. From himself to others, he thought that Mrs. Zhu would do the same.

Everyone in the Gao family thought that Zhu Xiao was stupid, and often forgot the existence of the little fool, and the child was indeed stupid. He carefully took half a bowl of porridge to the gate of the old lady Zhu’s courtyard in Zhenwei and continued to circle around. He wanted to give the porridge to the old lady. The wife didn't dare to enter the door, and after many rounds, she came up with a way to quietly put the bowl outside the courtyard gate. As for the rice being eaten by mice, it was beyond his stupid head to think of.

Putting down the bowl, Zhu Xiao felt that she had accomplished a great thing, and went home to sleep happily. It seemed that the empty stomach was not so uncomfortable.Little did he know that as soon as he left, the courtyard door of the Zhu family opened without any wind, and the thin and tall old bamboo lady appeared by the courtyard door, silently looking at the rough porcelain bowl in front of the door, her eyes were ghostly like will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness, similar to the legend The witch in the movie is exactly the same...

In the past few years, Gao's life has been better, and the bowls are not counted. Zhu Xiao's food delivery has passed smoothly, but the next morning, because he didn't beat enough pigweed, he was punched by Gao's second child.The third child of the Gao family is a girl, two years older than Zhu Xiao, since she forced Zhu Xiao to call her "Miss San" (of course, in private at home, but calling her outside would make people laugh out loud), and she has become more and more serious. She looked like a third lady, watching her second brother beat up a fool, she also imitated the young lady on TV, leaning against the door with two fingers holding a handkerchief, and scolded, "Why are you fighting with a fool, are you still like a young master?" , Gao's second child was teased by his two hundred and five sisters until he burst into laughter, Zhu Xiao escaped, and was full of gratitude to the third lady.

In the afternoon, Zhu Xiao went to old lady Zhu's courtyard to weed grass again. There was no sound and no one in the yard. He thought that the old lady had recovered from her illness after eating porridge. ...

For Zhu Xiao, he was very happy that the old lady recovered from her illness, and the matter ended like this.

Unexpectedly, three days later, Mrs. Zhu appeared outside Gao's courtyard and proposed to adopt Zhu Xiao. Of course, Gao was not happy. Zhu Xiao was her family's cash machine. Where would she withdraw money when he left?Besides, Zhu Xiao is not her child, how dare she make the decision.The old lady didn't care if she wanted to, she just said "I'll give you a day to think about it, if you don't agree, I'll talk to his parents directly", she left after speaking, and did her best. The whole process took less than 3 minutes, and the old lady didn't even They didn't even enter the room---it's not a discussion, it's clearly an announcement!

The Gao couple was terrified by the old woman. Although the old woman had only moved here for half a month, she had heard a lot of rumors. If the rumors were not true, the Xu family's parents would never come. How did she do these years? The people in the town treat the idiots with a clear heart, and now they don't speak, it will be hard to tell when the idiot's parents come...

Mrs. Gao was very clear about it. It was useless for a day. She washed the fool from head to toe that afternoon, put on clean clothes, and took him to Zhu's house without mentioning the adoption. It is the fool's good fortune that the old lady is willing to treat the fool, and she will truthfully report the old lady's kindness to the fool's parents and so on.

Mrs. Zhu did not expose Gao's little trick, her purpose was to take away the child, as for worldly things, they were worthless in her eyes.

At this point, everyone in the town knew that the little silly lame got the old lady's eyesight, completely left the Gao family, and became a small helper of the old witch's family---Zhu Xiao no longer went to school after living in the Zhu family, and the Zhu family had such a big yard Except for Mrs. Wang who does chores, other things are taken care of by fools. What is he not a helper?

Mrs. Gao let out a sigh of relief. It seems that Mrs. Zhu just wants a free servant. Although she has lost a pair of hands at home, she is really afraid of Mrs. Zhu, so let's do it first.

The so-called time flies without a trace, and the silent old lady Zhu and Xiaosha lame soon faded out of the sight of the villagers in the small town. Unknowingly, three years passed like water, and then, the old lady Zhu became the leader of the whole town again. The focus, this time, is on the old lady who has passed away.

The old lady had already arranged the funeral for herself, and the funeral was very simple. The little fool helped the old lady to bury the coffin. It was the first time in three years that he appeared in front of people and used the name "Zhu Xiao" for the first time. The 12-year-old boy was still half a head shorter than his peers, but his eyes were clear, and he managed the funeral in a decent manner. People in the town said that the old lady Zhu cured even a fool with her benevolence and benevolence.

Mrs. Gao was thinking about taking the idiot home, but she flinched when she saw the idiot like this. I am afraid that the idiot like this would be difficult to control, and besides, she would not do business at a loss if a half-sized boy would overwhelm me. She didn't take any less from Xiao's childcare, tuition and miscellaneous fees.

After the funeral, Zhu Xiao retreated back to the Zhu family’s yard, as if she had become a shadow of the town. It wasn’t until another two years later, when the Zhu family’s parents—er, it should be the Xu family’s parents— came to the town that everyone remembered It seems that there is still such a little silly lame living in the small town.

The Xu family's parents were even more horrified than the people in the town when they saw Zhu Xiao. They once received a letter from Gao, saying that a goddess doctor came to the town to treat their stupid son, but where is this small closed mountain town? What kind of "miracle doctor" would be there, they just regarded it as a gimmick for Gao to ask for money, and they didn't care at all.Unexpectedly, after five years, the young man who appeared in front of them seemed normal. Although his personality seemed a bit withdrawn, his IQ should not be a problem.

It's a pity that their surprise didn't last long. When they knew that the child was only in the second grade of elementary school and didn't understand mathematics, physics, chemistry and English, the joy in their hearts passed, and they concluded that the child was literate and punctual. In addition, people are not smart at all. Asking a question for a long time, especially when walking with one leg dragging, the Xu couple just feel that it is indescribable. Not to mention how lost.

Therefore, when Zhu Xiao proposed to live alone after going back, and wanted to keep the name Zhu Xiao, Xu's father said with a sigh: "You are very good, and the kindness of dripping water should be repaid by the spring. We are a child of the Xu family. Your mother and I are very pleased that you can repay your kindness..."

In this way, Zhu Xiao returned to the city when he was 14 years old, with the name Zhu Xiao, and everything left to him by the old lady Zhu, including luck and responsibility.

postscript:

Several years later, the Guanjingmen finally ushered in a real successor. After the worship ceremony, the successor received a thin volume of book inherited from the master's school from his senior brother Zhu Xiao. It has its own strength of character: Yu was born in the imperial system, and he was able to cultivate by chance when he was young. He has experienced three systems and four dynasties for more than 160 years. He has witnessed the reunification of the Republic, the civil war, and the great changes in recent years. He has always been on the sidelines with the heart of a practitioner. Doing everything I can to realize: Thinking that Yu was just an ordinary woman back then, it was my luck that God gave Yu a sharp weapon, but it is a pity that Yu did not understand the way of heaven, regarded it as private, and was obsessed with his own grievances. Today, the situation of soul disappearing and death.Fortunately, the mystery of the way of heaven is dark and dark, and none of us can pry into it. It is very fortunate to meet Xiaoer at the end of this life, and to make up for one or two of the regrets in this life.

Now that you have the opportunity to view this posthumous work, you must be the one selected by Xiaoer, so you might as well tell a little about Yu's origin.When I was 15 years old, I occasionally got the wonderful book of viewing the mirror. Those who watch the mirror can observe the secrets of heaven through the mirror, which is a rare treasure in the world.In the following hundred and fifty years, Yu has been tossed around in the world of mortals, no matter whether it is joy or sorrow, he has never stopped practicing, and finally explained the prophecy at the end of the book more than ten years ago...
