In old age, when wealthy families marry a daughter-in-law, they all pay attention to setting rules for the new daughter-in-law to enter the house.
Other people's rules are nothing more than three obediences and four virtues; no one believes my rules even if I tell them.
When my mother passed the door, my father blocked both my parents at the door and said bluntly: There is only one rule in our family, which is no children.
If you agree, just drink the contents of this bowl and then enter my Yuan family. If you don't agree, my family won't stop you from coming and going wherever you want.
The matchmaker, who wanted to come up to talk, looked into the bowl and almost fainted from fright.
In that bowl was a horse snake whose stomach was nailed through by coffin nails. The horse snake was not dead yet. It was writhing in the bloody water in the bowl, and its two claws were like a child's hands grasping the bowl.
On the other side, I wanted to crawl out, but my body was blocked by the coffin nails and I couldn't get out.
The matchmaker was so angry that he was trembling all over: "Yuan, what kind of monster are you? If you drink this water, you won't be killed?"
This time, everyone present was confused. The neighbors came to persuade me, but my father said with a fierce face: "It's none of your business? You can either sit down and drink, or get out of here."
The matchmaker and master of ceremonies were insulted in front of them, who could sit down? The villagers also said that my father was bullying girls from out of town, so they all left in a rage, leaving only three people at the wedding.
My father was trembling with anger and pointed at me: "Dad, if you cast a death curse on your daughter-in-law, it will cost her half of her life! I promise, you won't have children, right?"
My father went up and grabbed my father's wrist, and pushed him to the ground with a cut behind him: "How did your wife get here? You should know it well."
My father held down my father with one hand and brought the bowl to my mother with the other hand: "Do you want to drink?"
My mother picked up the bowl of water with an expressionless face, raised her head and drank it. After a while, she was kneeling on the ground holding her stomach in pain. My mother was so painful that she dug her fingernails into the soil, and she just didn't say a word.
My dad wanted to go up to save people, but he was pinned to the ground and couldn't move.
My father struggled several times and almost broke his wrist, but my father refused to let go.
After a few minutes, my mother vomited a mouthful of black blood and fainted from the pain. Only then did my father let go and let my father carry her into the house.
That's how my dad and mom got married.
In the first few years, the three of them got along well, but then they almost fell out because of the child.
That day, as soon as my parents came back from outside, my father dragged him into the back room with a dark face.
As soon as my father saw the medicine pot that my father had thrown on the kang and the open cupboard, he knew that my father knew what he had done.
My father and my mother looked at each other and simply knelt on the ground without explaining anything: "Dad, you already know, so I won't hide it from you. I want a child."
My father raised his hand and poured the contents of the medicine pot onto the ground: "Do you want it, or does she want it? Who taught you how to boil medicine in a woman's coffin wood, hide a dead person's head and bones, and worship the heavenly spirit cap?"
My grandfather was talking to my father, but he was looking at my mother!
My dad blocked my mom behind him: "Dad, don't care who taught me this. I know you love me, but I want children!"
My father was so angry that he laughed and stared at my mother with both eyes: "You are so capable! You can think of everything."
My mother knelt behind my father and said nothing.
"This matter has nothing to do with her, it's all my wish." My father pushed my mother out, and then knelt in front of him: "Dad, please help me! Only if you take action can I keep her."
child."
"In order to make me take action, you are forcing me to use sorcery?" My father slapped the table and stood up: "Our Yuan family has violated the taboo of sorcerers. After three generations, we will all be exterminated. No one can change this matter.
"
My dad's eyes were also red: "Dad, when our Yuan family broke the taboo, wasn't it to save people? Why..."
"Shut up! Are you allowed to talk about the Yuan family's taboos?" My father slapped the table and said, "You can't do sorcery even if you want to have children?"
"When a child is born, his mother will die and his father will be destroyed. Two lives, in exchange for his one, do you think it's worth it?"
"Who is your wife? Is she here to repay a favor or to take revenge? Don't you know?"
My dad raised his head, tears streaming down his face: "Dad, I don't accept it. Our ancestors of the Yuan family sacrificed their lives and deserved no shame from heaven and earth. In the end, we ended up like this."
"Shut up!" My father almost smashed the table.
But my dad laughed miserably and said: "You know better than anyone else what taboos our Yuan family has committed, but you can't even talk about this crime! Dad, I am a short-lived person. In a few years, I will have to
Death. Before I leave, I have to fight with God even if I risk my life."
"Heaven is unfair, people are unfair, and even the gods of the underworld are unfair? I don't believe it! I've stolen this child. Dad, where did all your blood go?"
"How many more years can I live? Are you just going to watch the Yuan family become extinct?"
"Hey -" My father was stunned on the spot by what my father said, with tears flashing in his eyes. He moved his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't say a word. After a long time, he sighed and waved his hands.
I staggered back to my house and didn't care about my parents' affairs anymore.
From then on, my father and mother no longer hid anything from my father.
My mother used dead people's coffin wood to make medicine every day, and my father also took out the dead people's heads and bones hidden in the cabinet.
My dad first built a locked iron door on the wall, then set up an offering table in front of the door, placed the head and bones on the table, and worshiped the dead man's head with three sticks of incense a day.
After that, my mother became pregnant not long after that. They were so happy that my father hummed a little tune when he walked.
My grandfather also paid no attention to their affairs, but his face became uglier day by day.
On the day my mother gave birth, my father locked all the doors in the house tightly, but my grandfather kicked the door open and stood by the edge of the kang, waiting for my mother to give birth.
My father wanted to stop my father, but he still had to kowtow to the bones of the dead. After thinking for a long time, he could only kneel down and kowtow to my father: "Dad, for the sake of father-son affection, you take action to save your grandson. He
It's up to you whether you survive or not."
My grandfather didn't even look at him, he just stood in the room with his hands behind his back.
My mother screamed on the kang, my father kept kowtowing, and no one looked at me.
No one knows what my father was doing at that time.
All I know is that he didn't make a sound at that time, as if he wasn't in the room.
The three of us had been working on it for several hours, and suddenly my mother stopped making any movement.
My dad's head was bleeding from the blow, but there was no movement on the iron door behind the dead man's bones.
"Please, come out!" My dad cried like crazy and kowtowed to where he was. Suddenly there was a loud click from the other side of the iron door, and the iron lock on the door collapsed into several sections.
The two iron doors suddenly collapsed, and a fierce wind blew out from the door. The skeleton placed on the table moved half a foot forward under the force of the wind, and fresh water flowed through the seven orifices.
"It's done!" My dad stood up immediately: "I have a son!"
When my dad turned around, what he saw was a human hand stretching out from behind the curtain. The other person suddenly grabbed my dad's wrist, and all the five black fingers were dug into my dad's flesh.
That hand seemed to be holding my father, preventing him from moving.
My father suddenly leaned half of his body out, reached out and grabbed the bloody skull on the table, turned around and got under the curtain and jumped onto the kang.
The moment the curtain was lifted, my dad happened to see a woman wearing a blood-red robe, holding a baby in her arms, sitting on my mom's belly.
"Get out!" Without saying a word, my father picked up the dead man's head and smashed it on the woman's body. He forced the woman aside. My father took the opportunity to grab the baby and threw it on the kang, pinching the woman's neck.
He broke the window and fell into the yard with her.
My father carefully held the newborn baby and sat next to my mother: "Daughter-in-law, we have a son. Get up and see how much his eyes look like yours..."
When my mother opened her eyes and looked at the baby, my father was stunned as he stared at my mother's face.
My dad suddenly screamed, put down the child in his hand and ran out like crazy. That night, many people saw my dad going crazy, running out of the village with one foot bare and never coming back.
The people in the village thought something had happened to my family, so they all rushed to my house. When they arrived, my father had already hugged me and walked out of the house.
My mother died in childbirth. The people who helped carry the coffin said that the coffin was as light as paper and it didn't look like there was anyone inside.
