One evening more than twenty years later, Lianying got up and fell down again. She wanted to open her eyes, but she was so dizzy that her eyeballs kept rolling up.She had no choice but to close her eyes again, and vaguely saw a few people in white clothes running in front of her, and when she looked closely, she was standing in front of her delicately.Lianying hurriedly wanted to sit up, but was stopped by Jiaoyan. Jiaoyan: Good sister, what courtesy do you and I have? The younger sister comes to visit, you can lie down and talk to me, and I will sit on the edge of your bed. After Jiaoyan finished speaking, she sat on the edge of Lianying's bed.

Lian Ying: Sister, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing after leaving the island? Jiaoyan: Ever since I shared the marriage with my sister that night, we have been separated for decades. Of course I am still alone. You are a big family. Lianying: Not really. Jiaoyan: I have been cultivating under the Mingshan Mountain, and people and ghosts can't be seen.Today, I suddenly miss you so much that my heart beats, so I came here to chat with my sister.Sister, why are you so thin? Lianying: Hey, don't mention it.I think back then we could still fight for a man, but now I can't fight for anyone, I can float when the wind blows.You said that I, who was born on the top of a mountain, married to a small island to manage the family for my step-wife.It's just that sometimes when I'm stretching out in my own garden, people who peep at me spread rumors that I'm a leopard, which makes the government insist on turning me into a leopard and parading me through the streets.I was so forced by them that I had no choice but to drink the privet soup given by the sachet priest.This soup makes me feel like a papaya all day long, I just want to sleep when I don't want to move.Everyone seems to be relieved to see me living like this, saying that I am a normal person.I didn't reduce the dosage until I married a daughter-in-law when I grew up, but it was too late, especially in the past few years, it seemed that my strength had been taken away by someone.

Jiaoyan: Elder sister, you are really angry that you were killed by that soup.There is poison in that soup, and if it enters your blood, it will destroy your true energy. Even though you stopped taking the medicine, the poison has already entered your blood.But they think it's for your own good, there is no room for strange women in the world.Thinking about me, a vulgar woman, being hacked to death before I can do anything, it's really unfair to be a woman. Lianying: Sister, don't keep mentioning these sad things.So far, we have to think better.You are already at ease, and I am going back to the mountain soon.Let’s talk about something weird. Guess how I became pregnant with my second son, Jitian? That day I asked Xiu’er to wear my grandma’s clothes for a change, but the clothes still had the “scent of laughter” that was smoked in the early years The smell, people can't stop having fun after smelling that fragrance.As a result, Xiu'er couldn't stop laughing after putting on those clothes, laughing so hard that people were hair-raising.The young couple laughed all night.I got the smell from the old clothes I picked up during the day, and I didn't laugh, but when I went to bed at night, I felt a burning sensation, you know what I mean.But people are old, and they will fall asleep after burning for a long time. I dreamed that Jihe and I were overwhelmed again, and we were happier than when we were young.I was humming, and vaguely felt that the person on my body was no longer married, as if he was a stranger, so scared that I wanted to push him away but couldn't. It's going smoothly! The dream was so vivid, I couldn't avoid it and couldn't wake up, and I kept getting sticky and wet all the time.I only married once in my life, but when I got old, I had an affair in my dream.That night I became pregnant with Jitian, and I didn't know whose child it was.Both men were made in dreams, if they were real, they were both real; if they were fake, they were both fake.I can't say that this kid is not real, can I?

Jiaoyan: Whether he is true or not! It is said that the step-family will produce a nobleman. Is this child a nobleman sent by God? Who does he look like? Lianying: He still looks like Jihe, but his personality is not like anyone else.It’s hard to say if he’s a nobleman, but I always see that he doesn’t look like a real person, and I keep thinking about that dream, thinking that he just borrowed my belly to come to this world for a while, but who isn’t? Xiu’er and I were pregnant on the same day , gave birth to a son in the same year, gave birth to two uncles and nephews, which one is that noble person? It's really God deliberately making us happy.Jihe wanted to make his offspring stand out. If they were all nobles, wouldn’t it be more honorable? Send them to study together.As a result, both children read well, and their grades were evenly matched, but their personalities were very different.Son Ji is cold-tempered by nature and doesn't like to talk; grandson Ji Shu is hot-tempered and will help anyone.The two are as good as brothers, as soon as Jitian comes up with an idea, Jishu will execute it.Both of them became the heads of the students, making troubles all over the school.Seeing that Jicheng was quite worried, he sent them to study in the mainland together, saying that the teachers in the mainland were strict, and the children were not only well disciplined, but also able to read.In the end, I didn't expect that there would be "the purpose" in the mainland. The two children didn't know what purpose they believed in. As soon as they graduated from middle school, they all applied for the military academy.Jihe originally hoped that his children and grandchildren would study and establish careers. Hearing that they went to the military academy, they were so angry that they would not speak for a few days. He immediately wanted to train the next two grandchildren, but the family could not provide so many talents, and the two little grandchildren did not go to school well. .Jicheng’s second child is called Shufeng, who went to the mainland to learn martial arts by himself after a few days of private school; the younger grandson is called Shuzhu, who has been with us at home, Xiu’er taught him piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and went to private school with Jihe .This kid is expected to accomplish great things, he is calm and understanding, and he is good at riding and shooting.It's a pity that the family spent all their money on those two "nobles".Jiaoyan: Such a big family, it's really hard to pull.

Lianying: Thanks to the fact that the eldest son Jicheng doesn't have much talent, but he knows how to do business. Jiaoyan: The benefits are real. Lianying: My mother was right. Jihe is a Han Chinese and there is no exception. So he also persuaded me to drink privet soup, even though I lost the desire to make out with him after drinking the soup.People say that he is extraordinary, but he cares too much about the kind of face that ordinary people want, and cares too much about giving birth to a "noble man", so what is so extraordinary about him? Jiaoyan: After making trouble for a long time, your family's children and grandchildren are full of civil and military talents, so you are still blessed.Better than a lonely ghost like me! Are all the members of the Zhang family dead?

Lianying: The Zhang family has a grandson named Zhang Geng, who is about the same age as Jitian and Shukai. He studied in the same school with them since he was a child, and went to middle school in the mainland together, and now he is enrolled in the military academy together.Jitian said that Zhang wanted to make friends with them and compete with them, he was the leader of the other school, and he competed with them. Jiaoyan: This is too bad, it seems that the Zhang family and the Ji family really have no end.If I come out of the military academy tomorrow and start a war, I will be even more guilty of that look at Jihe.

Lian Ying: Not because of that look, but also because of whoever stumbles on the street and whoever stumbles can start a war.When we are in the village, we often have to fight with other villages. When we think about it, what is it for? Maybe it’s for a piece of sweet potato!I always thought that it was us Shanzhai people who love to make enemies, and I couldn't think about it, but it turned out to be the same wherever we went, no matter how much knowledge we had.The difference is that people nowadays don't use fists, kicks and swords when fighting, they simply use guns and cannons, and they don't even have real kung fu.

Jiaoyan: Didn’t you pass on Kung Fu to your children? Lianying: I learned that kung fu from wild animals in the mountains.So people say that we are beasts, which is not wrong.Practicing this skill requires patience. You have to let the beast enter your body to get the skill. Nowadays, people can’t calm down and think too much, so it’s not easy to get the beast skill. For example, I rolled with the leopard since I was a child. Fighting, when performing gong, I often don't know whether I am a human or a leopard, and I often forget that I am a human.When the animal nature enters the human body, the human becomes a beast.But where does the beast think about so many things? To become a beast, you have to use the beast’s brain to think about everything. Every move and gesture is conjured from the beast. Where do children nowadays have such whimsy? Jitian, Shukai In the future, guns and cannons will be used, and the book style feels that Shaolin has more background, and the owner of the book is just a young man.

Jiaoyan: It's a pity that none of them are descendants of leopards. Lianying: I don't want them to be like me. They can study hard and thank their ancestors.I am the most useless person. Jiaoyan: I have always envied my sister, you are a person with true temperament. Lianying: Am I the one who drank privet soup? One has to live an ordinary life to be blessed, and too much limelight won't last long.It took me my whole life to understand, don't live too hard.When Jihe was a child, he couldn't stop summoning pigs and tortoises, but now he still wants his offspring to produce "nobles", which is too much, and he might cause trouble.If I leave in the future, you should come and take care of him often.

Jiaoyan: What's the difference between my coming and your coming? It's not difficult to walk around after death. Lianying: But I want to cross the sea to go home first, visit my mother, and then go to the capital.If you reincarnate in the future, you will become a scholar. Jiaoyan: Do you want to travel around the world with me? You can also share a man. Lianying: I won't do anything with men anymore.But after all, we two sisters, when I leave, you can come and stay with Jihe for a few years, lest he get bored.I am not coming back. Jiaoyan: Don't worry, I will help him when he needs me, after all I still have that eye for him.

Lianying: After this relationship, you should also come to the mainland, and we will see you again. Delicate and charming: it's a deal. Lianying wanted to pull the delicate hand, she sat up, she flung herself away, she looked again, but there was no one in front of her, she looked closer, but her mother was sitting in front of her, she couldn't help crying at her mother. Lianying died in the depths of winter, and the island was snowed like never before. At the funeral, all the stepchildren and grandchildren rushed back.Jihe didn't invite any drummers. For the first time, he didn't focus on "he" and resolutely opposed the funeral according to the custom, because Lianying was killed by the custom.In order to go against the customs, he invited John, and asked John to hold the Bible and speak words that no one could understand, as a rebellion against the customs of the island.Anyway, Jihe didn't understand John's God, nor did he understand John's scriptures. For him, John's God didn't meddle in his own business.When Lianying was alive, she was forced to take poison all day long due to the custom. If she still had to listen to those vulgar tunes that the world unanimously played when she was dead, her soul would not be at peace.Besides, after seeing John that time, Lianying was happy for a few days, until the sachet brought privet soup.Later, Lianying said that she and John were talking in the mountain dialect, and John must not understand it, but she had never seen a person who could listen to her so patiently, and even Jihe was not so patient in listening to her, so Lianying Said that John must be God.From this, Jihe concludes that if you don’t understand the other party’s words, you will be easily moved by the other party’s words, and you will also be easily moved by yourself when you can talk to someone who can’t understand the words. It can be seen that the dialogue that you can’t understand is the dialogue of the soul, so John He knows Lianying best; therefore, he recites those scriptures that no one understands to Lianying, which can best comfort Lianying's soul.The step-family just held a quiet and unruly funeral, but almost everyone on the big island came.At the funeral, there was no blowing or playing, no wine and no meat. At the beginning, people only heard John gurgling non-stop, watching the snowflakes fluttering non-stop. It was covered with snow, and then John stopped so people had a chance to cry. When sprinkling soil into the grave, John put a cross on the coffin. Jihe couldn't understand what it meant, but it was difficult to ask. He felt that his wife would not like that cross.But he realized another truth from John's behavior: It seems that John, that god, is not really nosy. Words, who knows what he can say.Besides, if he really didn't like to be nosy, he wouldn't come all the way from the other side of the sea to this side, and put his cross in someone's grave.The reason why he asked John to recite the scriptures was just so that Lianying would not have to listen to the nonsense he heard every day after death, but he didn't intend to let Lianying sleep with an unknown cross after death.He wanted to jump down from the grave to pick up the cross, but he thought it was indecent.After returning home, I kept pressing hard. Late at night on the second day of the funeral, a few tomb robbers who were bribed by the government went to the Lianying cemetery and opened the grave, pried open the coffin, was surprised, and hurriedly covered it again. Immediately, a story came out on the island: the officials were afraid that Lianying was a leopard for decades. After her death, they wanted to steal her body for verification, and then burned her body to eliminate future troubles.As a result, the tomb robbers found nothing, and there was no body in the coffin.The grave robbers only retrieved a cross.People said: After Lianying died, she was protected by Jesus and turned into a leopard, crossed the sea and returned to the mountains.
