Chapter 6: Thrown into a Coffin by a Crazy Woman After hearing this, my mother hugged me and couldn't help crying. After all, this was her own flesh and blood, and she was about to leave this world without even calling me mother. Everyone would be sad. This also caused my mother to be in poor health and suffer from some postpartum diseases. So, my father sent a message to his buddy A Bing in Hexia overnight, asking him to bring his carpentry tools to Jingjia Bay to do the work. On the 99th day when I cried my heart out, that is, from the snowy winter month to the early spring March of the following year, although Jingjia Bay was still sparsely visited at this time, the ice and snow had melted, the breeze was humming, the streams were singing, and the leaves were fluttering, showing a picture of a paradise. Uncle Bing brought his carpenter's tools to Jingjiawan as promised. That day, there was not a single cloud in the sky over Jingjiawan, and the rare warm sun was shining in the sky. The old yellow dog that had been basking in the sun in the yard all year round was nowhere to be seen, as if it had been driven away by the noise of my strange crying. As my hoarse noises echoed, Uncle Bing sighed, and sat quietly in the yard, making the box for me. Dad frowned and smoked, staring blankly at Uncle Bing fiddling with a bunch of carpenter's tools... A crazy woman came running to the door from somewhere. She looked like a little child of eight or nine years old, wearing a tattered blue cloth dress, with messy white hair hanging on her thin and somewhat funny head. Her face was so dirty that her true appearance could not be seen, only the saliva dripping from her mouth was quite eye-catching. At this moment, she was leaning against the door of my main room with her eyes closed, basking in the warm sun, shaking her head comfortably, as if enjoying the beauty of the world, and from time to time she reached her hand into her back to scratch it. "Get out, get out, I'm in a bad mood today, get out quickly." The father, who was always kind and generous, was in a bad mood today. He raised the broom and yelled at the old woman in annoyance. The crazy woman was stunned for a moment, and her empty eyes suddenly brightened up. She suddenly said to my father in a serious tone, "Don't make noise, don't make noise, listen...the sound of the phoenix." The sound of a phoenix, the sound of a phoenix? Dad wanted to pick up a broom to scare the crazy woman away, but seeing her serious expression, as if she was listening to the sound of nature, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. Someone actually said that this girl's crying sounded good. A madman is a madman. If you like to listen, just stay here and listen.
He ignored her and continued to help Uncle Bing with his work. The two of them chatted for a while about this and that. After a while, Uncle Bing suddenly looked up and asked, "Seventh Brother, why isn't your little girl crying?" My father was stunned for a moment, then he quickly got up and walked quickly into the house, choking up in his heart: "I'm afraid this child has kicked the bucket and died. It's really pitiful that he had such an end in this world." My mother was still sleeping soundly in front of the bed, but I was nowhere to be seen beside her. Mother woke up from her dream and was frightened by my disappearance. Everyone turned the bed upside down, inside and outside the house upside down, but still couldn't find any trace of me. It seemed that I had never come into this world and everything was an illusion. Mother sat down on the ground in despair and burst into tears. Dad and Uncle Bing were also at a loss. Dad tried hard to recall the people and events from before. Suddenly he shouted, "Lao Bing, where is that crazy woman?" It turned out that the crazy woman had disappeared without a trace, which made everyone break out in a cold sweat. The crazy woman was mentally ill, and it was hard to say if she broke the kid's neck... Just when everyone was in a panic, my grandfather came back from the mountain. Seeing everyone running around, he realized that I was missing and became anxious. He asked everyone if they had looked for me in the house. As he was talking, he walked towards the inner room where he slept. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a baby's silly laughter. "Yiyiyaya, tsk tsk tsk..." At this time, I was sucking my fingers, and the sound of babbling spread throughout the inner room. A pair of black eyes were curiously looking at my grandfather with an anxious face. "You kid." Grandpa breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over. At this time, I don't know when the lid of my coffin, which weighed a thousand pounds, was opened. And I was sitting in the coffin and giggling. The crazy woman leaned against the coffin and teased me with a smile. My grandfather couldn't care less and quickly reached out to carry me out. As soon as I got out of the coffin, I burst into tears and cried at the top of my lungs, just as I was crying and wailing as before. "Don't hold me, don't hold me," the crazy woman on the side was anxious, and was busy snatching me from my grandfather's hands, muttering as she did so: Don't hold me, don't hold me, "Put up the coffin, give birth, put up the coffin, give birth." Grandpa was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do, and let the crazy woman hold me in her golden nanmu coffin. Seeing my originally wrinkled and tear-stained face, she immediately smiled like a crescent moon, and her big dark eyes kept looking inside the coffin, as if looking for something. Nizi, Nizi, my parents also rushed in anxiously, and seeing me sucking my fingers in tears in the coffin, they were so angry that they were shaking all over: "You crazy woman, why are you bullying a child? Get out of here now." "Seventh Brother, Zhenzhu, stop talking nonsense. Didn't you notice that Nizi didn't cry anymore?" Grandpa said softly. "Dad..." Dad and Mom were stunned, unable to hide the excitement on their faces. "Pearl, go find some clean clothes for the old lady and some soft food. This old lady is the destined benefactor of this child. She is the great benefactor of our Yang family. Grandpa sighed, but when he turned around, there was no trace of the crazy woman. When everyone looked inside the coffin again, I had already fallen asleep in the coffin, rolling around with my eyes wide open. It was clearly March in early spring, and the cold was not over yet, but I lay comfortably in the cold coffin, with a ruddy face and warm body, as if that was my home. My parents and grandpa stood in front of the coffin in a daze, not saying a word for a long time. Uncle Bing had been staring blankly at everything that was happening before his eyes. Suddenly, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Seventh Brother, this is too weird. Did we see a god? How could this old woman who was just here disappear in the blink of an eye?" Dad shook his head and didn't know what to say, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "We have proletarian ideas, we don't care about that, but the child stopped crying, and this old man is a lifesaver." "What should go will go, and what should come will come. There is no need to regret. This old lady seems to have come specially for this girl. She is the noble person in the child's life. Our whole family should thank her." Let's name the child Bai Tian. It was the arrival of the crazy woman that made the child lucky enough to spend a hundred days. Grandpa said softly.
"Good, Bai Tian is a good name. During the hundred days, you will be safe from danger and live a long life." Dad looked happy. "Uncle Yang, Old Seven, I think your little girl is no ordinary kid. She has escaped from the ghost gate and is an immortal. She will definitely be extraordinary in the future. You don't have to worry too much about her. Little girl, you don't have to sleep in a box in this life. Uncle Bing is happy for you." Uncle Bing said happily. (End of this chapter)
