Prophet of Rebirth

Chapter 2 One Leaf Knows Autumn (This chapter is free)

"Wow……"

With the loud cry of the baby, Ye Zhiqiu woke up from the unconscious state.

"Am I dead? Whose child is crying so loudly?" Ye Zhiqiu didn't know how long he had been in a coma, and whether it had passed the three-day period. He really wanted to open his eyes to see whether this was heaven or hell, or what was going on in his heart. Deep down I long for this to be the world.Although he already knew that he was bound to die, who wouldn't want to live a good life, after all, it's better to die than to live.

Ye Zhiqiu never thought that the simple action of opening his eyelids would be so difficult. Accompanied by the baby's cries of joy or pain, he struggled repeatedly, back and forth, countless times until he got himself out of bed. When he was about to exhaust himself, God seemed to have heard his devout prayers, and he finally opened his heavy eyelids with a gap as thin as a hair.

The glaring light made him dizzy for a while. Although it was not the dazzling white light of fluorescent lamps, the dim yellow of a single lamp was enough to make him close his eyes again after a long period of darkness. Through a thin layer of eyelids, he slowly Adapting to the dim light around him, until he felt that he could adapt to the surrounding light, he opened his eyes again, but the scene that came into his eyes startled him, and several simple faces with different expressions flew by. Flowers dangled in front of his eyes, and each face had vicissitudes marks left by years of wind and frost. What puzzled him was that these faces gave him a feeling of familiarity and strangeness.

"Where is this place, am I alive or dead?" Ye Zhiqiu kept asking himself in his mind, until the constant discussions around him forced him to recover from his self-enclosed wild thoughts .

"The child's eyes are so big! Look at how sharp the eyelids are!"

"This head is big and round, and he must be a smart kid when he grows up."

"This chubby face is so cute, come and kiss me."

"This nose and eyes are like his mother, ears and mouth are like his father..."

As the noisy voices continued to sound, Ye Zhiqiu felt his face, hands and feet were constantly pinched and rubbed, and his whole body was also "swinging" in the air, which made him unable to find the north for a while.

"Sister-in-law, don't make the child dizzy, show the child quickly." A voice that was so familiar that Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but burst into tears suddenly sounded, this voice was accompanied from the initial clear and full to the old and hoarse He is 28 years old, this is the voice of his mother!But why did he suddenly become so young? Was he dreaming?

His doubts didn't last long, a face gave him all the answers, a shocking answer.It was my mother's face, to be precise, it was my mother's face when she was young. He had seen black and white photos of her when she was young in the photo album at the bottom of the box at home.

With a round and smooth face, two long braids fluttering in the wind, it is very beautiful, so natural, so beautiful.

"Mom..." Ye Zhiqiu felt sore in his heart, and tears flowed down unconsciously.After the pain of being pinched by the fifth aunt and the seventh aunt just now and his mother's suddenly younger face, he knew that this was not a dream. God made a bloody and creative joke on him, and he was reborn happily.

"Tell you to be gentle, but you just don't listen. Look, you made the baby cry." Seeing the child's sad expression suddenly shed tears, Wei Xiuhui couldn't help coaxing her distressedly: "My dear baby, don't cry, don't cry, mother is here What!" While coaxing, he patted Ye Zhiqiu's small back lightly, his face was shining with happiness.

Ye Zhiqiu felt the gentle force on his back, and his whole body seemed to fall into the hot spring, and his heart was filled with warmth, "This is Mom... hugging, so warm and comfortable."

"Xiuhui, I think the child is hungry, you can feed him some 'milk'!"

"Yes, yes, you must be hungry, otherwise you wouldn't cry." The seventh and eighth aunts came up with ideas in a hurry.

"You're hungry! I'm so moved." Ye Zhiqiu couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the crimson grain on the snow-white ball that suddenly approached his eyes.But when he saw the anxious look on his mother's face, he sighed secretly, and moved his small mouth together, a stream of life heat slowly flowed into his body, he even smelled the fragrance of life's milk.

"Hehe... I'm really hungry. You see, this little guy is in a hurry." Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's anxious look, several aunts laughed loudly.Wei Xiuhui patted her son's immature back with her hand, humming an unknown tune, with a happy smile on her face.

Ye Zhiqiu was drunk, drunk in this deep love, drunk in the melodious and melodious little song, and the harsh laughter around him became soothing and gentle, at this moment he felt that everything was so beautiful.

"Mood really can change the environment." Ye Zhiqiu now firmly believes in this sentence.

"Xiuhui, did you give this little guy a name?" Just as everyone laughed, someone asked.

"Not yet? Jiaming said to think about it carefully." When it comes to her son's name, Wei Xiuhui looks sad. Both her and her husband are not well educated, and they don't want to name their son after cats or dogs. The name naturally made them difficult.From the moment they conceived their son, they looked up books and looked up the dictionary to think of a name for their son, but they couldn't think of a name that satisfied both of them until the son was born. People enjoy it.

"I think you haven't come up with a good name after thinking about it for so long, why don't you just ask Jiaming to take this little guy to the Tianji Temple and ask the Taoist Master Tianji for one?"

"That's right, right, it doesn't mean that a child who can get the name given by Taoist Tianji will have a little bit of fairy spirit, and he will be very promising in the future. You see, Zhao Wanwan in the Osmanthus Village next door was not his father back then. Mother asked Taoist Master Tianji for a good name for him, otherwise how could he be so beautiful today."

……

Several people saw Wei Xiuhui's embarrassment, and gave her advice one after another.

"Last year, none of the village chief's children could get a name. Can mine succeed?" Wei Xiuhui held the child tightly in her arms, a little hesitant.Is there any mother in the world who doesn't want her son to become a dragon and a phoenix in the future, and Wei Xiuhui is no exception. However, her inherent inferiority complex makes her dare not expect extravagantly.

"Why not? Don't Taoists always talk about fate? The village head's family is not good, but it doesn't mean yours is not good. I think this little guy looks so cute. Maybe Taoist Master Tianji took one when he was happy." What about the name?"

"That's right! Even if you don't succeed in seeking fame, you have nothing to lose. If you become that child, you will definitely be rich and powerful."

"Okay, when Jiaming comes back next time, I'll ask him to hold his son and go to Taoist Master Tianji to ask for a name." After everyone said this in a hurry, Wei Xiuhui, who was still a bit hesitant, finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind. determination.

"Tianji Temple? Tianji Daoist?" Ye Zhiqiu never thought that his name would be related to these words. In his memory, apart from the dilapidated and deserted temple at the back of the village, it can be regarded as a temple. In addition, he has never heard of the Tianji Temple mentioned by several aunts.And he also asked his mother about the origin of his name, and his mother just smiled and told him that his father took it, but his father just smiled and didn't answer.It seems that the memory of this name-seeking has been buried in the tomb of time by my parents, and I don't want to mention it again.

"Xiuhui, Xiuhui..." A loud and excited shout made Ye Zhiqiu's eardrums buzz, and he subconsciously covered his ears with two small fat hands.

Wei Xiuhui, who put all her thoughts on her son, saw her son's uncomfortable behavior, frowned slightly, and lightly scolded the handsome man who ran into the room with sweat on his face and excited face: "Why are you shouting so loudly?" , Look, it scares my son."

"Son, haha, you really are a brat with a handle." The young man seemed unaware of the lethality of his voice, and continued to laugh out loud until he felt a trace of murder in the air. All the women stared at him like angry diamonds, including the son in Wei Xiuhui's arms, who seemed to have a trace of anger. He scratched his head in embarrassment, and smiled at Wei Xiuhui: "Xiuhui, come and give me a hand!" Hug my son."

"Go, go, sweat all over your body." Wei Xiuhui seemed still puzzled, and softly snorted, "Hurry up and take a bath, you'll be busy later."

"Let's go." The man readily agreed, without a trace of dissatisfaction on his face being yelled at by a woman. He glanced at the plump son in Wei Xiuhui's arms, turned around and left contentedly.

In less than a moment, Ye Jiaming walked back refreshed again.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but take a closer look at his father when he was young. He was dressed in a white shirt that was spotlessly washed and patched with various colors, and the army green trousers were also mended. His simple and handsome face showed years The traces of weathering and frost, the sharp-edged facial features, there is a sense of elegance and masculinity in the roughness.

"What? Go to Taoist Master Tianji to ask for a name?" Ye Jiaming was shocked by the thoughts of several women on the spot. Asking for a name is tantamount to asking for humiliation."

"If I tell you to go, go, why are there so many nonsense?" Wei Xiuhui's face turned sullen, with a look of displeasure, "Isn't it just listening to a few ugly words, what is this compared to my son's future?"

"Go, of course, I was joking with you just now? Hehe!" Ye Jiaming was obviously a little scared. Seeing the displeasure on Wei Xiuhui's face, he hurriedly picked up his son with a sneer, "Isn't it just a few nasty words? I will fight for my son." Already." After speaking, under the admiring gazes of several women, Dayi stepped out of the house in awe-inspiring manner.

As soon as Ye Jiaming stepped out of the house, his face that looked death at home immediately drooped. The words of Taoist Master Tianji were not only unpleasant, but also a deep insult to people. The villagers of Hutan Village dared not speak out.Who calls others half-immortals?

"For you, little guy, I have the heart of mortal death. If I don't respect my father when I grow up, I'll never end with you." Ye Jiaming pinched his son's chubby face fiercely, a ray of happiness The smile gradually spread from the corners of his mouth to behind his ears.

"Is it so scary?" Ye Zhiqiu turned his head a little dissatisfied, avoiding his father's ravages.

There was just a drizzle in the morning, and the fresh air lifted Ye Zhiqiu's spirits, and he greedily took a few deep breaths, knowing that it would be a luxury to want to breathe this kind of air after twenty years.

Ye Jiaming frowned and jumped on the muddy country road like a superficial jump. The occasional splash of mud soon covered his army green trousers, but he didn't seem to notice, just carefully protecting his arms. the baby in the tree, and prevent the remaining rainwater from the tree from dripping on the baby.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the gradually moist hair on his father's head, and couldn't help being moved, but the feeling didn't last long before he was knocked out of the sky by his father's unscrupulous words.

"It's still so far away, and I have to climb the mountain later, won't I be sweating all over again after taking a shower?" Ye Jiaming looked at the seemingly endless path, and said with some hesitation: "It's better not to go. If I think about it, I will bring shame on myself. How about I think of a name for this little guy myself, and when I go back, I will say that it was picked by Tianji old man, haha!" He laughed a little complacently, as if he was quite satisfied with the name he came up with. Proud of such an idea.

"That's okay!" Ye Zhiqiu was completely speechless, he finally understood why he refused to answer when he asked about the origin of his name.

When Ye Jiaming was about to turn around and go back home, a figure suddenly appeared on this muddy path, wearing a light yellow Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, with a purple gold crown on his head, black hair, and three long beards under his chin , with a face like a crown of jade, refined and elegant, with two star eyes that are extremely divine.

"Mystery is mixed." Ye Jiaming couldn't help exclaiming, it's too coincidental, now that he met unexpectedly, he couldn't brazenly go back home, so he had to bite the bullet and meet him.

"A master? A demon?" The shock in Ye Zhiqiu's heart can't be described in words. He kept staring at the front of the path, and there was no one in front of him. This middle-aged Taoist seemed to appear out of thin air, but in the blink of an eye Appeared on the path, but what surprised him even more was that the middle-aged Taoist priest who was quite immoral walked towards them with his sleeves fluttering all the way, and he didn't even touch the ground, and there was not a trace of it on the black cloth shoes. It's muddy, could it be that the legendary Treading Snow Wuhen was used?

"Tianji Daoist..." Ye Jiaming greeted him with a smile, and was about to ask for a name, but was interrupted by Tianji Daoist with a wave of his hand, and a ray of light shot out from his slightly closed eyes, staring at Ye Jiaming Ye Zhiqiu in his arms asked calmly, "Is this your son?"

Ye Zhiqiu trembled all over, and Taoist Master Tianji's gaze seemed to see him thoroughly from the inside out. It seemed that he had no secrets that could escape his eyes, including his great pioneering deed of rebirth against the sky.

"Yes." Ye Jiaming smiled and nodded his head, "I was just born today, and I was planning to take him to ask the Taoist priest for a name. I didn't expect to meet the Taoist priest on the road. We are really destined!"

"It's destined, but it's not with you, but with the boy in your arms." Tianji Daoist Nosu said with a smile, the meaningful smile in Ye Zhiqiu's eyes was full of austere meaning, he had the feeling of being sent into the tiger's mouth a feeling of.

Ye Jiaming's heart turned upside down. For 30 years, Taoist Master Tianji, who was secretly called the living dead by the villagers, actually smiled. Although the smile seemed a little stiff, he was sure of the expression on Taoist Master Tianji's face at this time. Call a smile.

"Please give me a name from the Taoist priest!" Ye Jiaming bowed slightly, taking advantage of the good mood of the Taoist priest Tianji at this time, he raised his request.

"Show me the child." Daoist Tianji did not refuse sternly as usual, but extended his hand to Ye Jiaming.

Ye Jiaming was overjoyed, and without thinking, he handed over the son in his arms.No matter how poor Ye Zhiqiu struggled and resisted, he was finally sent to the arms of Taoist Master Tianji.

"Interesting." Seeing Ye Zhiqiu struggling to resist, Taoist Master Tianji showed a meaningful smile again.

As Ye Zhiqiu fell into the embrace of Taoist Master Tianji, a strange autumn wind suddenly blew up on the muddy forest path, and the dead leaves all over the sky fluttered down one after another.

Daoist Tianji danced a strange arc with his right hand, and when he stopped, there was already a withered yellow leaf between his slender fingers. He put the withered leaf on his nose, sniffed it lightly, and pondered for a moment, Fangcai said slowly: "The mountain monk can't figure out how many years, one leaf will know the autumn of the world. A leaf will know the autumn."
