Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Pei Xiaohai is a strange child. Although she has seen ghosts, most of the time she still does not believe in the existence of these things. Instead, she is keen to associate her bad luck with other things to prove that these things have omens before they happen.

She could have avoided it, but due to her or other people's reasons, she always missed the opportunity. She complained in her heart or out loud, and said:

"This is life."

Then she could easily accept these bad things. After all, it was destined to happen, and it was normal for her to have no way to deal with it.

Such as this time.

The weather was so bad that something bad must have happened. If the master had listened to her and taken her back earlier, nothing would have happened. By the way, her right eyelid twitched twice this morning!

Pei Xiaohai was very angry and serious.

Jinghui: ...

If they had listened to her, they would have been soaked like drowned rats by now.

Jinghui really didn't know why her disciple always had so many strange ideas and doubts, as if she was born with them.

Many children are similar when they are born, crying and laughing in the same way. However, their temperaments may differ due to the words and deeds of their parents, the character of their relatives and friends, and the different places they live in. It is like a strange mirror, which reflects whatever it sees. Whether you want to admit it or not, children have the shadow of their closest people.

But the child... I don't know if she is thinking too much. The child doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. She is like Jingneng, has a bad temper, like Jingchi, is kind, and is like her. It seems that she has the shadow of all three of them.

But Jinghui always felt that this was not because of them, but that she was born like this. Only her naughty and mischievous nature was because of them, and everything else was innate.

If she is compared to a special mirror, she is more like a mirror that has already left shadows. Their shadows can only be used to fill the gaps in the edges and corners, but cannot cover up the traces left by the existing existence, even if those traces are not very good.

Maybe she was thinking too much. On rainy days, when you have nothing to do, it's easy to think too much.

No matter what, her apprentice is a very good child. He has grown up safely and is in good health. He makes a lot of noise every day and brings them a lot of troubles and happiness. What should she be dissatisfied with?

Jinghui looked at the child who was tired of crying and fell asleep, kicked the quilt away, and raised her hand to cover her back.

Little Pei slept for a long time. When she woke up, the rain had not stopped. She was sweating all over. She used her hands and feet to kick off the quilt stuck to her body. Seeing her master sitting cross-legged beside her, turning her Buddhist beads with her eyes closed, she arched her body and leaned over to rest her head on her legs. "Master, what time is it?"

"Probably around noon." In this kind of weather, Jinghui couldn't tell.

Little Pei didn't really care about the time: "It's so late, can we still leave today?"

Jinghui said calmly, "It seems the rain won't stop any time soon. I might not even be able to leave tomorrow."

"Ah..." Little Pei was so disappointed.

Jinghui was a little worried: "Why are you so anxious? Don't you like your godfather and godmother?"

"That's not the case. They are quite nice people, but I still want to go back to the nunnery. The house here doesn't leak, and I'm not used to it."

Pei Xiaohai remembered that when it rained in the past, if it was a light rain, nothing would happen, but when it rained heavily, the masters and nuns would look up and walk around the house, using jars to catch the water leaking from the roof, and she would follow behind to help pass the jars.

Actually...it's not that I'm not used to the house not leaking, but that I'm not used to the different people around me.

Jinghui: "Houses are supposed to be leak-proof. Your Godmother Pei and Godfather Liu both love you. There's also a cat here, isn't that great too?"

Pei Xiaohai thought this was strange: "Master, don't you want to go back?"

Pei Xiaohai felt that it was understandable, after all, the vegetarian food here was so delicious.

"Master, this is someone else's home. If you stay here for too long, you'll cause a lot of trouble to the owner. You can't behave like this. They gave us vegetarian food out of kindness. It's okay if we don't give it to them, but it's wrong to rely on them.

When the rain stops, we'll go."

Pei Xiaohai's words were very convincing. It was rare for her to be so reasonable.

But the rain didn't stop for three days.

Little Pei could always vaguely hear crying outside, and the atmosphere in the Liu family was a bit solemn, but her godfather and godmother would still smile when they saw her.

The master said that the crops might have been flooded.

Pei Xiaohai didn't understand the seriousness of the matter. She had never experienced it before.

On the fifth night, she was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a loud bang, as if a huge thunder had struck in the sky. The sound was so loud that even someone who was not afraid of thunder would tremble at the heart.

Pei Xiaohai decisively lifted the quilt, crawled into his master's bed, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Jinghui was not as careless as her. Instead, she pricked up her ears and listened. There was nothing outside except the sound of rain. It seemed that she was overthinking.

Just when Jinghui was about to feel relieved, the door of Liu's house was slammed.

"Master Liu, something happened! There's a dragon on Dongshan Mountain. The mountain collapsed, burying more than a dozen families. My father asked me to borrow an ox cart to go to the county to report the news. It was so big that the dragon was struck by lightning as soon as it emerged from the mountain!"

The man who came was the eldest son of the village chief. He was already in his thirties, but his eyes were full of fear.

A snake turns into a viper after 500 years, a viper turns into a dragon after 500 years, and a dragon turns into a dragon after 1,000 years. A dragon that has practiced for many years can take advantage of strong winds, rainstorms, and mountain torrents to rush into rivers, lakes, and seas, use the water's momentum to jump over the bridge, and then it can turn into a dragon.

But there was only heavy rain here, no flood. It might have come out too early, and not only was there no water outside to cover its body, but there was also thunder waiting for it.

It died peacefully, but when it left the mountain it caused a landslide, burying many families.

Puluo Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. If a landslide happens, it is not impossible that the entire village will be buried.

The frightened man, pulling the ox cart, had already left. He slapped his head and turned back: "Also, also, my father also said that you should pack up and move to my house. This place is too close to the mountain and it's not safe. The villagers living on the mountainside have to stay with people living in the middle."

This news is a bit too much, too fast, and too... unbelievable.

But everyone heard the loud noise just now.

Liu Renben and Pei Zhu decided to take action immediately, simply packing up their belongings and leaving. Pei Xiaoxiao, held in his master's arms, woke up from his initial confusion and cried out repeatedly, "Cats! Wait a minute, don't forget my cats, take them with you!"

Cuimei replied, "Pumpkin is here. I don't know where the old cat and the other two went. We can't find them."

Well, that’s not the case. The ugly white cat was there these two days, but now it’s gone. She suspected that the two little ones were taken away by them.

Cuimei found some time to talk to Pei Xiaohai.

Little Pei felt very sad when she heard this. Cucumbers and beans were loved by their parents, but no one loved her pumpkin. How could this be true?

Pei Xiaohai held the pumpkin, whose face looked like it had been beaten flat, and said solemnly, "From now on, I am your mother."

Pumpkin: “Meow~”
