Chapter 1298 Extra 1
The 18th day of the fourth month in the lunar calendar in 2135 is the birthday of Bixia Yuanjun.
On this day, people flocked to the Bixia Yuanjun Temple to burn incense and pray for children, seeking blessings and warding off disasters.
The Li couple had been married for many years without children and tried various remedies without success. They heard from elders that Bixia Yuanjun was particularly effective in helping people pray for children.
So the couple went there sincerely, kowtowed to Bixia Yuanjun, gave the Taoist priest a gift of money, and chose a clay doll from the table. The Taoist priest took out a red string, tied a copper coin to it, and hung it around the clay doll's neck.
Then, he muttered incantations and decided on the birth date and time and the nickname.
The Li couple took the baby home and treated it like a human being, feeding it and dressing it in colorful clothes.
I hope to have a baby girl next year.
Six months later, Li's mother became pregnant, and her son was born.
After ten months of pregnancy, the baby was born.
The Li couple made a vow to Bixia Yuanjun.
The Taoist priest standing beside the clay doll gave a key reminder: "If your wish for a child is fulfilled, this doll will be the eldest child in your family, and the second child will need to be worshipped for life."
"As the second child gets older, I have to wash the baby every year."
Mother Li asked, puzzled, "What is washing the doll?"
The Taoist priest said, "We will reshape the elder brother's human form so that his appearance and attire are more in line with his age."
Mr. Li expressed his sincere gratitude and said he would remember it forever.
When Li Yan was just learning to speak, her mother carried her to the altar and said, "Ayan, this is your older sister."
"Call me 'sister'."
Li Yan called out indistinctly.
Father Li happily lifted his armpits and spun him around in the air, making little Li Yan giggle.
When Xiao Liyan was three years old, she would go to her older sister's place every day to greet her.
He was so good-looking that if you took him out, you'd think he was a little girl.
Mother Li shook her head upon hearing this, "We only wanted a little girl back then!"
At the age of ten, Li Yan completed the task of washing a doll for the first time under the guidance of her parents.
My sister put on the floral dress he made, though the stitches looked rough.
When Li Yan was thirteen, a tragedy occurred that caused her to lose her parents.
He is not without relatives.
Holding the doll, he told himself indifferently that as long as he had his sister, he still had a home.
As she grew older, Li Yan's clothing-making skills improved.
The floral dresses are becoming more and more exquisite.
But he could no longer deceive himself; he was always alone.
He has no home anymore.
My parents once said that he was born half a year later than my sister, even though he was still in her womb at the time.
He didn't know the meaning of his existence.
I don't know why people have to live.
They also don't understand why something produced casually would be so popular.
All he knew was that everything was utterly meaningless.
On the day he decided to leave, he wanted to change into brand new clothes so that he could look presentable when he was discovered.
However, the moment the bedroom door was opened, the faceless doll that had been enshrined fell to the ground and took on its own form.
The floral dress was torn to shreds and scattered all over the ground.
He instinctively locked the door; he couldn't let her escape.
The mother said that all she had hoped for was a pretty little girl.
My sister is indeed very beautiful.
Those round eyes were filled with fear and unease.
He couldn't help but call out "sister".
When she thought he really was her younger brother, he didn't deny it, but established another layer of reliable relationship.
Unmarried couple.
If they were just siblings, the older sister would leave him someday.
This relationship is not stable.
Only when my sister becomes my wife can we be together forever!
He needs his sister.
He also hopes that his sister only needs him.
Helping him wash up, putting him to sleep, and cleaning up the trash his sister leaves behind will make him feel very happy.
