Chapter 2

The weather in July was hot and dry. Lying in bed without electricity and electric fan was really a kind of suffering. I don't know how long it took. There was a thunder in a daze. However, for a long time, the thunder became louder and louder, as if the whole sky was about to collapse. The wind was strong, and then the rainstorm poured down.

Jiang Yilong jumped up, quickly took the kerosene lamp in his hand, said happily to me, "ha ha, little martial brother, it seems that the old God still has pity on us."

I said, "elder martial brother, the rainstorm came well, but it came at a bad time."

"Well, that's true."

The ruined temple seemed to be about to collapse. Even though it has been repaired many times in recent years and can keep out the wind and shade, it always leaks in several places in case of downpour. We didn't dare bother Shifu to find such a thing. It naturally fell on Jiang Yilong and me.

It took almost half an hour for Jiang Yilong and I to catch the rain in several leaking places. We were about to enjoy the coolness and lay down in bed, but we didn't want to hear a sudden knock on the door.

Jiang Yilong said, "it's so late and it's such a weather. Who will knock on our door? Shouldn't it be the mountain ghosts that master said?"

"Mountain Ghost?" I said, "elder martial brother, if there is a master here, how dare he come? Even if he does, we'll catch him now."

Jiang Yilong was a little disappointed and said, "at the beginning, when you just went up the mountain, I could scare you to cry a little. But now it's better that you have more courage than me."

"Open the door, old Taoist yuan, old Taoist yuan..."

I was stunned. I heard the sound very well, but I couldn't think of such a person in my mind for a moment. I simply didn't talk with Jiang Yilong and opened the door with an oil lamp in my hand. I saw a middle-aged man with a coir raincoat and a flashlight standing outside the door. His facial features gave me a familiar feeling. Just as I was ready to speak, he said first, "you, are you a strong country?"

I suddenly. No wonder this middle-aged man gave me a kind of familiarity. It turned out that he was Uncle Qi Dazhu who was related to me. However, his original ruthlessness has made me strange to him in these years. "My name is not Qi Guoqiang, but Qi Zhiyuan."

He nodded awkwardly and then said, "where's old yuan?"

"My master has already gone to bed."

"Call him for me. I have something urgent."

"What can you do so late?"

Looking at his anxious look, there was an unspeakable joy in my heart

"There's really something urgent, your eldest sister. Oh, I can't tell you..." he simply rushed into the temple without any politeness, opened his mouth and shouted: "old Taoist yuan, old Taoist yuan!"

Qi Dazhu was so rash that he naturally woke up his master, came out in a broken Taoist robe, looked at Qi Dazhu and said, "it's you. What's the matter with you?"

"My eldest daughter is going to have a baby."

The eldest daughter mentioned by Qi Dazhu is my lobby sister Qi Yan, who is ten years older than me. When I was 19, Qi Yan married Li Qiang in the same village. During these four years, Qi Yan gave birth to two daughters for Li Qiang, and now she has to give birth again. The reason is that she has a serious concept of valuing men over women in rural areas.

"That's a good thing."

"But it's almost an hour, but I can't give birth. Lao yuan, you have to help."

"What can I do for you? You should go to the midwife or not to the town clinic."

"The midwife is in the neighboring village. There are ten miles back and forth, and she can be sent to the town further. In addition, in this weather, if anything happens, it will be one corpse and two lives. Taoist yuan, in short, follow me down the mountain."

The master hesitated a little and said, "OK, let's go now."

I don't know what's wrong. When they were just about to go out, they suddenly said, "master, it's slippery down the mountain. I'll hold you."

Although Shifu is nearly 70 years old, his body is at least no different from Qi Dazhu. Even if the mountain road slides again, he can't fall. He looked at me, understood the obscurity behind this sentence, and nodded. "Then you too."

Ten minutes later, we arrived at Qi Yan's house. Li Qiang was so anxious that tears came out as soon as he saw us. "Old Taoist yuan, do something quickly. My mother-in-law has been born for nearly an hour, but she can't be born."

According to common sense, Qi Yan, this is the third child. This should not happen. Listening to Qi Yan shouting like a pig in the inner room, the master said to Li Qiang, "do you mind if I go in and have a look?"

Li Qiang nodded anxiously, "come on, come on."

I don't know if it's because of the rainstorm. When I get close to Qi Yan's house, I always feel an unspeakable chill. While we were waiting for master to deliver Qi Yan's baby, he just went in for two or three minutes. Qi Yan's scream suddenly stopped in the room, and immediately master's calm eyebrows retreated again.

Li Qiang and Qi Dazhu were stunned and said in unison, "have you had a baby? Is it male or female? Why didn't you hear the child cry?"

Li Qiang's two daughters were already asleep. At this time, there were only four of us outside the house. Seeing that the master didn't answer, Li Qiang couldn't help but want to enter the house to see the situation. The master quickly pulled him back and said, "don't go in first, listen to me."

The master looked abnormal, which was looked in the eyes of Li Dazhu and them. They said anxiously, "Lao yuan, what's going on?"

The master looked at Li Dazhu and replied, "Lao Qi, Xiao Li, are you going to protect the big and the small? If it is, it's OK. But once it is, Qi Yan will die, and the baby can't let him live."

Li Qiang and Qi Dazhu were stunned.

I asked, "master, what happened?"

Li Qiang and some of them haven't recovered, but now the situation is urgent. Shifu doesn't waste time anymore and quickly says: "The baby in Qi Yan's stomach is the seventh generation resentful baby, that is, the first six generations of the baby died before the birth was less than one year old or died. The grievances of several generations are superimposed. This life has made the seventh generation resentful baby, and his appearance is for revenge. Therefore, if you insist on keeping the baby small, Qi Yan will die. However, even if the baby is kept, it will not be alone at that time It will make your Li family and Qi family restless, and even become a major disaster. "

Li Qiang sat on the ground with his eyes straight. "Lao yuan, you can't be crazy. It can't be true. It can't be true."

The master sighed and said, "it's really to ask for your decision at the moment, but since this matter has been mixed with me, it's my responsibility to remove the devil and guard. Therefore, I will never allow such a resentful baby to appear."

Li Qiang suddenly stood up like crazy, grabbed the master and shouted, "no, I want a son. That's my son. I don't believe in shit. Blame the baby. Crazy old man, you dare not let my son be born. I work hard with you..."

As soon as he finished, Qi Dazhu slapped him. "Didn't you listen to old Taoist yuan just now? If you want that monster, the swallow won't live. Do you want to kill the swallow?"

"Dad, he's a liar. He's full of nonsense. Don't believe him."

Master said: "The baby in the belly is about to show up. I guess it can be born in ten minutes at most. His eight characters are Yin years, Yin hours, and now it is ugly times. In addition, I calculate his previous life and this life. All things considered, the baby in the belly is a resentful baby. Li Qiang, I know it's hard to blame anyone for this matter, but you should be clear, Child, you can have it again. Once Qi Yan has an accident, it will be too late to regret. "

Li Dazhu held back his tears and said to his master, "Lao yuan, protect my swallow. Don't let that monster live."

Li Qiang still doesn't believe it, but it's undoubtedly quite reasonable to carefully guess what master said. After all, master has never done anything harmful to people in recent years, but has helped many families. Besides, there is no deep hatred between Li Qiang and master. Naturally, master can't deceive some things that are empty to harm his family.

Seeing that Li Qiang's tone eased, the master quickly said, "take me some blood on the cock's crown, and then go to your hall to take half a bowl of incense ash from the supply platform."

"I'll go now," said Li Dazhu.

After a while, Li Dazhu prepared chicken crown blood and incense ashes according to master's instructions. Master hurried into the house. While closing the door, he also told us not to break in no matter what happened or heard.

Three minutes before master entered the house, it was very calm, but the next scene even made me feel unimaginable, not to mention Li Qiang and Qi Dazhu.

There was a strange sound of Yin measurement, like the cry of a newborn baby, but it was also like the sadness occasionally heard in the grave. At the moment of hearing this sound, Li Qiang perked up and said it. But then he realized that it was wrong.

Shifu has just made it very clear that if the complaining baby is born, it is when Qi Yan is dead. Besides, Shifu will never let such a harmful monster be born. How did the strange noise in the house come from?

I suddenly felt that the previous chill was stronger. In this July weather, my body trembled uncontrollably. Even so, I couldn't dispel my curiosity. Because master insisted on not allowing us to enter the house, and the door was buckled back, we couldn't break in if we wanted to. The three of us hurried to the window, but we didn't expect to see it first behind the curtain Master's shadow, and then I saw a strange shadow

"Is that it?"

I looked at Liu Dazhu. "Maybe."

Bang Bang

Master's body suddenly seemed to be out of control and hit the wall. Several bottles and cans of objects on the wooden cabinet were scattered on the ground, some broken and some made a noise. Master quickly got up and kept talking about something. I knew it was a magic spell, that is, he was fighting with the ghost baby.

Before that, Li Qiang was convinced that master was lying to him, but when he saw all this and the situation in the house, he began to believe everything Master said. At this moment, his face no longer cherished his unborn son, but some were worried about Qi Yan and his master father.

After nearly half an hour of fighting, we finally heard an extremely childish cry from the room across the wall, and everything calmed down. After another two minutes, master turned white and his hair was messy. He staggered to open the door, and on his right hand, we saw something wrapped in red cloth.
