Liu Xiangrong suffered from stomach pain for a day and a night, and the pain caused her to faint several times.
The village midwife had no idea what to do, so she pointed at Liu Xiangrong's belly and said, "This one in her belly is definitely a jinx. He's good at tormenting people. Look how long he's been gone. He's almost driven his mother to death."
The rain outside hasn't stopped all day; it must have been brought by this jinx. He's an ominous creature; even if he's born, he'll bring misfortune and harm to your whole family.
The heavy rain continued, and the neighbors came over and started pointing and gossiping about her.
“It’s been pouring down all day. If it keeps going, our wheat will be drowned. If we lose our wheat, what will we harvest and eat in the summer? Liu Xiangrong, if our brigade has no harvest, it will definitely be because of that bad seed in your belly. It’s all your fault. You’re carrying a bad seed, a jinx, making our whole village suffer like this.”
"Liu Xiangrong, even if you gave birth to him, whether he lives or dies, you must get rid of him far away. You can't keep him around to bring disaster to our whole village. If you keep him, who knows how many more disasters he might bring to our village."
Liu Xiangrong was already tormented beyond recognition, and she hated the child in her womb. This child was indeed born to bring her bad luck; it was almost killing her before it was even born.
She herself believed what the midwife and her neighbor had said.
The baby she's carrying is definitely an ominous creature, a jinx that will not only bring misfortune to the whole village but also to her family.
Her family already has a lucky star, so this unlucky star absolutely cannot stay in the house. Otherwise, it will not only bring bad luck to the family, but may also absorb the luck of her lucky star.
Once she gives birth to him, she will definitely send him far away and never let him have any connection with this family again.
Late at night, she finally mustered her last bit of strength and gave birth to this jinx.
Coincidentally, the rain stopped just as she gave birth.
Although this son was even more handsome than her eldest son, she didn't want to look at him at all.
Tell Liu Mingjun to take the child away and throw him away immediately, and instruct him to throw him as far away as possible.
She thought for a moment, and then called out to Liu Mingjun as he was about to step out of the house.
“Let’s just send him to the mountains to feed the wolves. He’s a jinx, he’ll bring disaster to all of us. We shouldn’t keep him alive. I’m afraid he’ll come back one day and harm our whole family. Even if he doesn’t die, he might still bring us misfortune. Mingjun, for the sake of our family, we absolutely cannot keep this scourge alive.”
Yi Mingjun glanced at the baby in his arms. The little guy had just been born, and because he had been cooped up in his mother's womb for too long, his face was still bluish-purple. His eyes and mouth were tightly closed, but his little nose was moving rapidly as he breathed.
Yi Mingjun looked at the little life, which was his own flesh and blood, and at first he felt a little reluctant.
But since he was a jinx, he finally hardened his heart and nodded, "Fine, I'll get rid of him and stop him from getting in our way."
He carried the child out the door. It was pitch black outside in the dead of night. The occasional barking of dogs from deep within the village sounded a little out of place in the quiet night, but it struck Yi Mingjun's heart hard.
Because when he heard the sound of dogs barking, he thought of wolves.
He was about to hand his son over to the wolves himself. Even if he was a jinx and an omen of bad luck, he was still his own flesh and blood, connected by blood. How could he not feel heartache?
“My child, I’m sorry, but I have no choice. You’re a jinx; keeping you around will bring disaster to our whole family. I have no choice but to get rid of you.”
His legs felt like they were filled with lead; every step he took was incredibly difficult.
We finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
As he got closer to the mountains, he heard several wolf howls coming from deep within the mountains, which startled him so much that he shuddered violently.
It wasn't that he was so afraid of wolves, but the thought of his son being eaten by wolves soon made him feel uneasy.
He stopped and composed himself, looking at the dark earth and mountains, then at the patch of land beneath his feet. If he left the child here, would he be eaten by wolves?
His feelings were conflicted and complicated.
On the one hand, they were afraid that this jinx would bring them bad luck, and they wanted the wolves to come and take him away and eat him.
On the other hand, there is the bond of blood ties.
He desperately wanted the child to survive and not be eaten by wolves.
Should we leave him here or not?
He stood there for a long time, pondering, but couldn't make up his mind.
Suddenly, I heard several wolf howls again, and the howls were getting closer and closer.
Could it be that the wolves smelled his child and were coming to snatch the sleeping baby from his arms?
If he puts the child down now, the wolves will come and snatch the baby away, permanently eliminating a menace to their family.
They raised their eldest son, Fuxing, and believed that good fortune would shine upon them and the whole family would prosper.
A voice inside him commanded: Throw it away, throw it away, for the sake of your family, quickly throw this child away.
But another voice was blaming him: "He is your son, your own flesh and blood, how could you bear to part with him? You are committing a sin."
The wolf howls grew closer, meaning the wolves were getting closer and closer to them.
After hesitating for a long time, Yi Mingjun finally picked up the child, turned around, and walked away.
He couldn't bear to feed the child to the wolves, nor could he take the child home to bring harm to his family, so he decided to give the child away.
At that time, almost every rural family was poor, while the working-class families in the city were better off. He wanted to send his child to the city, hoping that a family in need of a son would take him in.
