Chapter 1: Calculate

In 1989, it was a scorching and unstable age. My mother lost her way on the way to the hospital and gave me birth in the grave at night.
People say that life is as cheap as a dog in life, and it will become a tiger in the future.
But after I was born, I would always get sick inexplicably, even if the big hospitals failed to take me anyway, so many critical illness notices were stacked up by me and made into homework books.
In order to keep me alive, my mother visited many people and tried various local methods and remedies. Finally, she found a gentleman who could pinch and count.
The husband said that before I was born, I was calculated by people. The cloudy year, the lunar calendar, the cloudy time, the cloudy land, and the yin ghosts delivered births. They were born with a heavy yin spirit. They recruited fierce ghosts. , There is no solution at all. Even if I try my best, I will still live to be less than seven years old. After death, he will develop a "blood-clothed kid" for the person with wrong intentions and drive harm.
My mother was dumbfounded after hearing that, thinking that after I die, I will become a ghost to harm others. She immediately became hairy and hurriedly begged the fortune-teller for help. The fortune-teller had a compassionate heart, but after a calculation, immediately He fled as if flying with his suitcase.
Mother cried so much that she passed out several times, and finally remembered her grandmother who could exorcise evil spirits.
Grandma is a famous immortal, who swept away all monsters, ghosts and snakes during the special period of the year. In order to escape criticism, she entered the deep mountains and old forests without a trace.
My mother was stubborn, so she picked up the critically ill me and walked three days and three nights along the old road in the deep mountains and old forests that my grandmother entered. She suffered hard, but fortunately, she was pitiful, and finally let her find a place where grandma lived.
Grandma took my grandson from my mother, and she was so happy that she was so happy that she stomped her feet and yelled at the time.
"Which little beast, dare to kill my precious grandson!"
My mother thought she was scolding her, she was so scared that she fell to the ground and cried into a mess. Of course, that was how her mother described her grandmother’s steady character. Whether this is the case is unclear, but every time she adds more energy and jealousy to me, I The grandmother who was domineering and leaky at the time would be so admired, maybe it is also the reason why I like to be close to grandma.
Knowing that I was cursed by someone, my grandmother immediately started the practice, but this was not to exorcise ghosts and cure me, but to marry me a child daughter-in-law.
Regardless of whether my grandmother's method was correct or not, I never got sick again, and had a happy birthday.
Many people may also say that I don’t know good or bad, and I actually used the term
self-assertion
. You must know that in this world, there are many people in their 30s and 40s who have not had a girlfriend, kid, your hair hasn’t grown. Qi has a daughter-in-law, what else is unsatisfactory?
In fact, I have difficulties. My ‘child bride’s daughter-in-law’ is different from what everyone thinks. It is not because she is not beautiful enough or because she is old and yellow, but because I have never seen her for so many years!
But grandma said: She has always been by my side.
Later, an iron pot cover was installed in the house next door, and there were several TV signals that could be received. After watching a lot of costume dramas, I gradually learned what is going on with a child bride.
Child brides-in-laws are deformed arranged marriages in which the ordinary people sold their daughters to wealthy families to be their daughters-in-law. The age difference is large. If the wife is a sister, but the children who marry the child brides-in-law are usually well taken care of.
But my child bride-in-law can't see it. That's a wicked way!
When I was only seven or eight years old, I thought, since I have a sister-in-law, something, you have to let me see it too?
So I pestered my grandmother and asked a lot about the invisible daughter-in-law and sister, but my grandmother always looked at the empty place next to me and smiled gently, making people confused.
So once, when I was so angry that I was walking and wrestling and no one helped me, I joked with my grandmother: "Grandma, you said I have a child bride, the wife I am married to by Ming media, but I have never seen it before, and no one helped me when I fell on the ground. , That's not true. If I find someone I like in the future, I must marry and be a real wife!"
I remember that my grandmother's face changed at that time, and she was so busy that I stopped talking nonsense, saying that even if I had someone I liked, I could only take a concubine, not a wife.
The stubborn I am of course not happy: "If you can't marry, you can only take it, so which girl is willing to be my concubine?"
The originally quiet grandma saw me stunned, so she stunned me.
But immediately I suffered. Sudden gusts of wind blew towards me. Looking back, I almost didn't scare to death at the time, so I hurried to hug grandma.
Finally, my grandma asked me to say ‘I’m kidding’, and the gloomy feeling disappeared.
So from then on, I began to feel that there were ‘things’ around me that I could not see, and I couldn’t sleep for many days.
As for the first time I saw her, I think it was when I went to the town to study when I was twelve years old.
The summer weather in the south is extremely hot, and the small town is like a steamer basket. After school, our children like to carry the school and swim in the nearby rivers and streams.
That day, Zhang Yidan and I, plus a total of six or seven children from the class next door, under the suggestion of one of the children named Huang Dong, went to swim in the small river near his house.
Zhang Yidan, like me, was a child from Xiaoyitun where my grandmother lived. His original name was Zhang Yuanyi. Because he was cheap when he was a child, he always liked to have a bare butt. If one was covered, they jokingly called him Zhang Yidan, but he didn't care, and was even proud.
The rough lack of personality is also beneficial, and Zhang Yidan has made a lot of friends in the same grade.
Contrary to him, I inherited my mother's somewhat stubborn character, but under the upbringing and influence of my grandmother, I did more things than my mother and did not rush. Therefore, the mature friends and I don't have much common language.
However, Zhang Yidan is very excited. Since childhood, his eyes and ears have let him know that I am a famous evil person. When encountering dangerous things, it is always bad and bad. Therefore, he always likes to play with me. Of course, swimming. Can't help but take me.
Passing through the dense fruit forest, a group of our children came to the small river not far from Huang Dong's home.
This stream is a branch from Vietnam. The stream is quiet but wide and deep, but it doesn't stop our group of children who are good at swimming.
When we arrived at the destination, everyone was completely wiped out.
I was also about to take off my clothes and go down into the river, but I felt the yin wind blowing behind me only halfway through, and I was suddenly excited.
This situation did not appear several times after I became sensible, but each time it made me stand upright and vigilant.
But I watched two or three children get into the water, playing in the calm water, and playing so happily. The heat made my temper a little dry.
Zhang Yidan was naked, and he asked me to get into the river: "Brother Tian, ​​let's go too!"
As in the past, if the wind blows behind my back, I will immediately turn around and leave, but today I am not happy. I am twelve or thirteen years old. The teacher said that this age is the rebellious period. Why can't I be willful?
Huang Dong is the king of children in the class next door. When I saw that the eldest brother in Zhang Yidan's class actually called me'Tiange, Tiange', it was a bit of a small value for me to procrastinate and dare not go into the water: "Xia Yitian, what happened to you Do you know how to swim? Or are you afraid of death?"
"Huang Dong, are you looking for the whole thing? My heavenly brother is afraid of death?" Zhang Yidan said with a stare, but he gave me a careful look.
Thinking about not admitting the counsel, I looked back hesitantly, took off my clothes, and followed Zhang Yidan into the water, but I didn’t immediately start swimming, but stood in a place with only the depth of my calves and looked at them. play.
"Damn, this kid is actually afraid of death, right, Brother Dong, he's still courageous."
"Hey, I need to talk." Huang Dong glanced at me with disdain, then swam deeper with other friends, and said by the way, "Zhang Yidan, you are afraid of not being in your own territory? Your brother formed a team to cross the river with us?"
"Stupid, dare to cross the river with me and Brother Tian?" Zhang Yidan was angry. He is a famous "flying fish" in the village, swimming fast, and I am also a good swimmer. The two have teamed up. He has never lost, so he immediately asked me to make a gesture with them.
I just wanted to go with Zhang Yidan, but at this moment, a strange force violently pulled me, and I even noticed that my were deformed by my cold hands.
I stretched out my hands back to cover my that was about to be seen, and then I sneered, and my underwear almost cracked. I turned my head and wanted to scold the person who had slapped me, but I looked back, but there was nothing.
But when I looked back, I immediately saw a red figure on the water surface in front of me appearing behind me pulling me, but the water surface was rippling under the play of our children, and I couldn’t see her clearly, but it was enough for me. Scared.
I immediately wanted to hold Zhang Yidan and not let him go down: "One...an egg, don't pass it, hurry, get ashore."
Zhang Yidan, who used to see me with a green expression, immediately ran over: "What's wrong, Brother God, are you okay?"
"I feel something is wrong, do you think the river is too quiet?" I found a reason casually, looked around the river bank, and saw nothing that could prevent me from going down the river.
Xiaoyitun has a small population. Of course Zhang Yidan knows his grandmother's deeds, so he obeyed me, and immediately said in fear, "Brother Tian, ​​what did you see?"
"I don't know, anyway, let's go ashore immediately." I repeated.
"Hey, all of you in the class! All come ashore with me!" Zhang Yidan immediately beckoned and said with the remaining two classmates.
"Haha, class 138 are all cowards!" Huang Dong saw that our class was all ashore and immediately laughed.
"You also said that you are fighting against us? Fight a bird, go home and have milk." Huang Dong's little friend also sneered at us.
Although the two classmates looked down on me a bit because of this, they didn't dare to have any objections to Zhang Yidan and hurried to the river bank.
I ignored the sneer, and when I got to the shore, the cold feeling dissipated a lot. I panted and looked into the river, but I saw Huang Dong suddenly have pale hands under the water not far away, like surrendering. , Floating in the water.
