Mr. Ji is a rare person on the island who has seen the world.When he was young, he crossed the sea to get a degree, and then returned to the big island to call himself a "layman".This time, I have to rack my brains to give the child a good name. I have searched all the books at home, but I can't find a word that is pleasing to the eye.Simply close the book, and the inspiration comes: open the book, the world is full of troubles, close the book, the world is fine, close the book, close your eyes, close your mind, and close your mind.It's not a good thing for my youngest son to provoke pigs and turtles when he was born.To save his life, the only way to teach him the word "close" is to read everything as a book and close it.This child is called "Jihe".

The step-relatives said that now that the sows and tortoises have all landed, weddings and weddings should be held together.It should be solemn, showing the family prestige of the mother and son of God. Mr. Ji didn't understand, where did you get the Godmother? The relatives said that the children have attracted pig turtles, and the dead mother is still not touched? Maybe she was reincarnated as a pig turtle or reincarnated as a pig turtle after death. Mr. Ji thinks about these ordinary people who want to worship pig turtles as gods, but they still want to call his beloved wife a pig turtle. Could it be that he, Jida layman, slept with a pig turtle for so many years and still gave birth to a pig? Is the son coming? Isn't this an insult to gentleness?

But weddings and funerals were still done together. Following the old man's backer.Early in the morning, people came from the village and the city and gathered in the courtyard of the step-family to see the "Son of God".The following family ordered several rows of long tables and benches specially for this day, and the tables were fully stocked with wine and meat. The drummer began to play the high notes of the island. The "sachet Taoist priest" who wandered over from the land drew a picture for the child on the spot. The child cried a lot while painting, but the child on the picture was smiling.The child fell asleep after crying.Harazi wet the nurse's front skirt, and the urine seeped into the nurse's cuff.He was carried in, and everyone began to eat and drink until the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Mr. Ji came out of the house with his relatives in mourning clothes. The coffin was carried out, and the crowd crowded around, crying out from the crowd, trying to let the undead hear it. The drummers began to play music again, still in a high-pitched manner. The witch who first gave birth to the mother, then washed the body of the mother, and saw the sow turtle was invited to cry and sing, and her voice became hoarse after a few blows.When the dead listened to her crying and singing, they were so moved that they almost came back to life. The pigs and turtles at the bottom of the pool were all crying while listening, and the gods all over the world held their breaths to listen to her.

The band, the coffin, the witch, the Taoist priest, and the step-family all lined up and walked out of the village, playing the same high-pitched tune while walking. When he arrived at the cemetery, Taoist Priest Xiang Nang showed his miraculous powers and gathered all the yang energy from the surrounding cemeteries into this grave. He said that with his miraculous powers to protect him, even if grass will grow on all the graves in the future, only this grave will grow grass. Blossom.The dead are buried safely. In the evening, the brigade returned to Jijiayuanzi and began to eat and drink.In the middle of the night, someone took out all kinds of flowers and plants picked from the Blue Mountains and distributed them to everyone.Some want to sing and dance after eating, some piss into the sky, some want to have fun and have sex, and some start to return to their ancestors.The returnees cried and babbled after a while: "I saw that we were not so fucking bears before! Our ancestors were all big-bodied, why do we look like we have shrunk when we come here? The ancestors never Not staying in one place for more than three days! We've been on this ghost island for hundreds of fucking lives?" All of a sudden it made people sad.Taoist Xiangnang comforted everyone: "The big island is a land bestowed by gods, and only the son of God can live there. It is also a paradise for practicing martial arts in the room, and it is a rare treasure in the world."

The drummers played uneven high tunes until the early morning of the next day. A few days later, a melon grew on the island, and the monkeys rushed to eat it, and people got scabies after eating it. A few months later, a boat came from the sea. It was a man with fair skin, yellow hair, blue eyes, wearing a linen robe, and no one could understand what he said. He took out a nautical chart, pointed to it and said repeatedly, Britain.Again, Liverpool.Repeatedly said, China.Nobody understands.He took out a cross and said, "Jesus".Still no one understands.He pointed to himself and said, "John".This time people understood, everyone called him "John".

The hospitable people of the Big Island kept John.Give him food and a house to live in.It's the same as welcoming sachet priests back then.He lived at the foot of the mountain, and the sachet Taoist lived halfway up the mountain. John never showed the nautical chart again, nor repeated the word "China" again, and only hung a cross at the door. At the end of the year, another ship came from the sea.This time it's a fleet.The people on the boat are all people from the capital on land.They wear big silk and satin, the women's feet are as small as pig's trotters, and the boats are full of jewels and jade.

Those who brought them here were those inland fishermen who came and went frequently.An old fisherman said: "These people are all big men who escaped from the capital, and they are scholars who have worked for the emperor. But now the emperor's palace has been burned by foreign troops. Where can they use it?" ?Isn’t this going to be moved to you to do big things. Da Dao is going to make a fuss. Don’t look at the current emperor is not a Han, but these scholars are all Han with names and surnames. When did so many famous people come to Da Dao? People? The Han people have to want the emperor of the Han people, and it’s hard to say that they will make a new emperor here in the future. You Dashima people can count on it.”

Only then did the people of Da Dao remember what the emperor had said, and they regretted letting the ship dock. But the people of Oshima are hospitable by nature, so they kept all the people transported by the fleet.
