My name is Tang Ning and I was born on Jingzhe Day.

We have a custom that on Waking of Insect Day, we sacrifice white tigers and beat villains. It has the meaning of driving away bad luck and not being troubled by villains.

A large paper tiger will be made in the village. Four men born in the year of the dragon will be asked to carry the paper white tiger god and knock on the door from house to house. The villagers will offer a pound of raw pork to each house.

Finally, the White Tiger God was carried to the entrance of the village and burned together with the collected raw pork. The ceremony of sacrificing the white tiger was over.

That year, a sacrificial procession knocked on the door of my house.

My mother had a big belly and was holding raw pork in both hands. When she was about to kneel down and worship, a spring thunder suddenly fell from the sky that had been gloomy all day.

Thunder struck the White Tiger God, and the paper tiger immediately burst into flames.

The villagers carrying the altar were frightened and quickly threw the burning altar to the ground. My mother was also frightened and sat down on the ground. At that time, her amniotic fluid broke.

When I was born, nine thunderbolts fell from the sky, one of which struck my house. The house instantly burst into flames, the fire spread violently and the smoke was thick.

The people in the house had no choice but to escape in order to survive. In the end, only my mother was left in the house, who was unable to move due to childbirth!

My dad noticed that my mom was still in the house and cried like crazy, trying to rush in to save my mom.

My grandparents were the only son of my father. Two old men stopped my father and told him that this was my mother’s fate...

Just when everyone thought my mother would be burned alive, a heavy rain suddenly poured down and extinguished the fire.

When the fire was extinguished, the baby's cry came - I was born.

My dad hurriedly ran into the house. As soon as he ran into the room, my dad was completely frightened.

The furniture in the house was all charred, and the ground was covered with black ashes. Only the bed where my mother and I were sitting was unharmed, with no trace of fire at all, as if the bed was separated from the outside world.

My mother had passed out from exhaustion. The newborn me was lying next to my mother crying loudly. And next to me, coiled next to me was a black snake as thick as a child's arm!

My dad was worried that the black snake would hurt me and my mother, so he didn't care anymore. He strode up, grabbed the black snake, threw it to the ground, picked up the hot scissors from the table, and pointed it directly at the black snake's head.

He stabbed it down within seven inches, then pulled it down hard, skinning the black snake on the spot.

When my grandfather entered the house, the black snake was already dead.

When he saw the tragically dead snake, my grandfather said, "Oh no!" he turned around and ran out. After a while, he led a famous Feng Shui master from all over the country to my house.

As soon as the Feng Shui master entered my courtyard, he was shocked and told my grandfather that he had no control over this matter.

Upon hearing this, my grandfather immediately knelt down and kowtowed with bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang his head, asking the Feng Shui master to show the way for the family to survive.

The Feng Shui master sighed, took out an amulet and handed it to my grandfather, telling me that I should wear the amulet close to my body until I reach adulthood. On the day of adulthood, I should take off the amulet and burn it.

My grandfather expressed his gratitude and gave Mr. Feng Shui a big red envelope.

Mr. Feng Shui confiscated it, leaving only the words "Death to repay kindness, good fortune and misfortune are unpredictable" and left.

I was born with a vision, and the White Tiger God refused to accept my worship. People in the village thought I was unlucky, saying that I was a scourge with bad luck in my life and would kill the whole family.

But after I was born, my family's life got better and better.

My dad is a wholesaler of wine. After I was born, his business met with noble people every year, and big customers came to him to order wine every year. My family built the first two-story building in our village, and it became the first in the village.

A man driving a car.

My father always praises me for my good fortune and prosperity for the whole family when he meets everyone. There are fewer and fewer gossips about me in the village.

I lived a peaceful and happy life until I was twelve years old.

In the early morning of the night of my twelfth birthday, just after twelve o'clock, my dad's cell phone rang.

It was the Feng Shui gentleman who gave me the amulet.

On the phone, Mr. Feng Shui's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if there was cotton stuffed in his throat, and his words were staccato, like a malfunctioning robot.

"Go to...Xiaba Village...to find Granny Long...go quickly! If it's too late, it'll be too late. The whole family will die. He...he's here for revenge! Tang Jun, take your daughter to find Granny Long...go quickly!

"

My dad was asleep and asked the Feng Shui master, "Master, who will take revenge? Who is Granny Long?"

"I...I can't say any more, because...because the dead cannot speak..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

My dad finally came to his senses and thought things were strange.

Mr. Feng Shui's surname is Ma. He is very famous in our area. Whenever there is a sacrificial activity in any village in the ten miles and eight villages, he will be asked to host it. He is considered a highly respected person. He will never call in the middle of the night to scare people.

My dad quickly called back, but the number was empty!

My father was scared at that time and quickly woke up my mother and asked her to wake me up.

He told my mother the content of the phone call, and said that he would go to Mr. Feng Shui’s house first. If something really happened to Mr. Feng Shui, he would come back and take me to Xiaba Village to find Granny Long. He asked my mother to wake me up and put on my clothes.

So wait for him.

My mother was worried and grabbed my father, "Didn't Master Ma tell you to take Xiao Ning and leave quickly? If you run to his house, won't it waste your time?"

"I'll drive faster. It only takes about ten minutes. It won't take long." My dad got dressed and went out.

My mother came to my room and woke me up.

I got dressed and followed my mother to the living room to wait for my dad. But until dawn, my dad didn't come back!

My mother panicked and took me to my grandfather's house. My mother told my grandfather everything.

After hearing this, my grandfather stamped his feet anxiously, "Confused! I told you to leave immediately, why are you disobedient! Don't delay any more, hurry up and go to Xiaba Village!"

Xiaba Village is the village next to ours, and my grandfather drove my mother and me on a tricycle and set off.

On the way, I developed a high fever. I was in a daze, and while I was half asleep, I saw hundreds of small snakes appearing behind the tricycle!

There were snakes with black and white bodies, stripes, and bright colors. These snakes twisted their bodies and chased me quickly. A pair of cold vertical pupils stared at me, and the snake's belly swam on the ground and made a rustling sound.

These rustling sounds gathered together seem to be an ecstasy that comes to take people's lives!

I was so frightened that I shrank into my mother's arms and said shivering, "Mom, there are so many snakes..."

My mother glanced behind the car, and then said worriedly to my grandfather, "Dad, let's go to the clinic first? This kid has a fever."

My grandfather ignored my mother and just drove the tricycle very fast.

When we arrived at Xiaba Village, an old lady was waiting at the entrance of the village. When she saw grandpa driving over, the old lady stood up, raised her hand, and threw a handful of rice over.

The uncooked rice hit me, making a sizzling sound, and then rolled to the ground. The rice grains looked like they were fished out of ink, and all turned black.

I felt like I had been hit by a stone, my whole body hurt, and I cried out in pain.

Grandpa quickly stopped the car. Before he could say anything, the old lady took out another yellow charm and waved it in the air a few times. The yellow charm spontaneously ignited. Then, she threw the yellow charm behind the tricycle, and the air behind the car was filled with air.

It was as if gasoline had been sprinkled on it, and a fire broke out with a bang.

There are concave marks on the ground burned by the fire, as if a group of snakes had just crawled through here!

My mother immediately turned pale.
Chapter completed!
