Chapter 1 Born to be foolish
On February 2, the dragon looked up. On the third of March, worship Xuanyuan.
March 29, 2009, is the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar.
Xinzheng Huazhuang, Henan Province, where every family still lived a few years ago, retains the custom of worshiping their ancestors and worshipping Xuanyuan on this day.
But as more and more young and middle-aged people go to work in cities, the villages are mostly old people and children, and some customs are simplified, and the festival atmosphere gradually fades.
Some people are more solemn, they put some offerings, and they have a rich dinner at home, which can be regarded as a birthday for Xuanyuan Huangdi and his old man.
Most of them are relatively simple, except that the elderly at home and their children give incense to the Yellow Emperor in the house.
There are even some people who don't have this habit at all.
However, the old Huang family worshiped Xuanyuan every year, even if there was only the old man and a grandson left in the family, he never hesitated.
After cleaning the incense offering, the old man put on the incense stick, and said sadly: Please, Lord Huangdi, bless my family's ruins and be healthy...cough,cough...
Grandpa! It's time to eat. A teenager came into the house with a dish and neatly cleaned the table.
The old man coughed and sat down, looking at his grandson worriedly.
He asked, Xu'er, what did Dr. Liang say about your situation in the morning?
The teenager smiled and said, Doctor Liang said that I'm emotionally stable and I'm fine.
The old man nodded, looking at the cheerful grandson, his sadness faded away.
The grandfather and grandson were eating lunch. The old man tried his best to add vegetables, and looked at his grandson with pampering and distress.
Children are suffering, and they have problems with their brains since childhood.
Moreover, the pupils of his natural eyes are different from others. There are too many white spots in the pupils, forming a circle of white circles, which looks like a big pupil with a small pupil.
He didn't speak for a long time, and his eyes were dull, but there was a fortune teller who kept saying good things about him.
The old man believed it, and he never saw a doctor.
When I was four years old and could not speak, the family was in a hurry and took the child to see the doctor.
After the test, he said that his IQ was only fifty...slightly retarded, belonging to the stupid type of mental retardation.
Not only that, but the eyes are not double pupils, but congenital cataracts, poor vision, only 0.2 in both eyes, and astigmatism.
Having suffered from so many diseases since childhood, the old man was distressed to death.
Both of these diseases are incurable.
However, if you have an intellectual disability, you are not a fool, especially a slightly mentally handicapped person. You just appear to be inattentive, have poor memory, and have poor thinking and language skills.
When Xuer was five years old, his parents went out to work and had an accident. The gas truck exploded and the couple died.
That year, Xuer called Mom and Dad for the first time, but unfortunately the parents couldn't hear it anymore.
Although he received a lot of compensation, the child has no parents since he was a child, only his grandfather takes him, and he is quite lonely.
After that, his mental retardation improved significantly, he could speak, and although his expression skills were poor, he could understand what others said, but he seemed rather dull.
Ever since he could talk, he'd always said he could see strange things and feel very complicated things.
But he couldn't explain it clearly, it was like he had seen a ghost, and he had double pupils.
Over time, it was rumored in the village that this boy could see dirty things. The old man was very taboo about this, so whenever his grandson talked about it, he beat him and scolded: There is nothing! Don't talk nonsense!
After coming and going, Xu’er didn’t mention it anymore.
After the age of seven, instead of going to a special school, he enrolled in compulsory education with the class. Although his grades were counted down and he learned everything a few beats slower than others, he was already able to communicate with others.
But in junior high school, it was different. The study was much more compact, and he couldn't keep up with his studies at all.
The teacher despised him,
His classmates also called him an idiot.
He also wanted to spend more time studying and making up for his shortcomings, but once he used his brain for a long time, he would suffer from severe pain, a splitting headache, and even coma.
Especially at night, once I look up at the stars, I will have a headache, bit my lip and tremble silently.
When he saw the moon, he fainted.
Grandpa loved him dearly, and with the persuasion of the teacher, he finally asked him to give up the high school entrance examination and take it home to help him and farm the land.
In June 2008, I gave up the senior high school entrance examination, and now more than half a year has passed, ploughing the fields, harvesting and threshing grains. These rough jobs are done very neatly.
Carrying water and cooking in a pot every day looks the same as ordinary people.
Just in my spare time, I sit on the ridge in a daze, or stare at others and talk in a daze, or watch TV for a whole day.
At that time, he was like the big fool of the Huang family in the eyes of others.
But day by day, the old man thought to himself, it would be fine to live a peaceful life like this, but he was worried that he would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in his life.
I worry more about my body. The old man's lungs have always been bad. The older he gets, the more serious the old problem gets. He coughs all day long, his throat is full of phlegm, his trachea is blocked, and his hands and feet are getting weaker and weaker. .
He didn't know he had fallen, what would he do with his grandson?
Doctor Liang! Doctor Liang! After eating, he was clearing the dishes when the village chief's voice sounded outside the yard.
The old man walked into the yard, opened the door and asked, What happened?
Old Huang, is Dr. Liang at your house? said the village chief.
The old man shook his head and said, No, Xu'er is much better now. Every morning, he is asked to go to Dr. Liang's health station to see a doctor by himself. I don't need to bother Dr. Liang to run.
The village chief frowned and said, Morning? Dr. Liang disappeared early in the morning. It's already night, and he hasn't come back, and the door of the health station is not locked. I'm wondering if it's not at your house. .
Because Xu'er fell into a coma from time to time, Dr. Liang often came to Huang's house to help him, and sometimes stayed for dinner.
Last week, Xu'er fell into a coma once. After waking up, she ran to the yard and stared at the moon with a very ugly face.
Although surprisingly did not look at the moon and fell into a coma, after that, he always trembled inexplicably and talked nonsense. The old man invited Dr. Liang to his home to see him. This was the case for several days. Now that Dr. Liang was missing, the village chief took the lead in finding the Huang family.
Dr. Liang disappeared early in the morning? Xu'er! The old man turned his head and stared at Xu'er.
Xu'er honestly stepped forward and said, I'm sorry, Grandpa, I lied to you. I didn't go to Dr. Liang's to see a doctor this morning.
You actually learned to lie! The old man was furious. His grandson had never lied to anyone, but he didn't expect to lie to him now!
Xu'er said apologetically: I'm sorry, grandpa, I'm really not sick, I'm already well. Dr. Liang is very busy, she's under a lot of pressure, and she has a lot of troubles in her heart. I shouldn't bother her every day.
Why aren't you sick! Dr. Liang said that you are smart... In short, it doesn't matter if you are sick or not, the doctor says it! I believed that liar back then and didn't take you to see a doctor sooner! The old man was excited Saying that, there is still some guilt.
In fact, Xu'er's illnesses are all congenital, and if they cannot be cured, the cause of the coma has not yet been found out. Seeing a doctor early makes no difference. But the old man just felt that it was his fault.
Especially last week, Dr. Liang secretly told him that the child was mentally ill... This made the old man even more guilty, thinking that he had not raised his grandson well, and he had raised a mental illness.
Regarding the old man's words, Xu'er just smiled obediently, and quickly helped his grandfather to sit down... The old man is old and has old problems with his respiratory tract. At this moment, he is a little out of breath.
Xu'er said: Grandpa, you can rest at home. I will accompany the village chief grandpa to find Dr. Liang. Although I am stupid, I can run errands.
The old man sat on the stool, took a breath, nodded and said: Go, Dr. Liang has taken care of you so many times, you must have a conscience. Lao Fan, let my grandson follow you, run errands, etc., let him do it , he's not that stupid. I hope Dr. Liang is fine...
The village chief nodded and hurriedly took the boy away.
After going out, the two walked along the road and asked from house to house.
I didn't even have a clue to ask a few, and the big living people just disappeared.
The villagers also felt that something was wrong: Did you make a call?
Hit, turn off. The village chief said.
Will you go back to your hometown? someone said.
The head of the village shook his head. Dr. Liang graduated from Capital Medical University. Although he didn’t know why he came to work in this remote rural area, he was good at medicine, was kind, and treated people well. Anyone in the villages who had minor illnesses would seek her out.
She lives a very regular life, and she never fails to find anyone, especially if she disappears for a day without locking the door of the health station, which is even more impossible, so everyone suspects that something is wrong.
Uncle! Suddenly, a young policeman arrived on a small motorcycle. He was a policeman from the township police station, and the head of Huazhuang Village was his uncle.
The village chief said solemnly, Wang Meng, why are you the only one?
Dr. Liang has only been missing for more than ten hours, and he is an adult again. He can't file a case. Maybe he went out to play? Policeman Wang Meng said helplessly.
Impossible, Dr. Liang can't go out to play without locking the door, something must have happened, said the village chief.
Wang Meng said, So why am I not here to help?
Eh? Huang Ji, won't you faint when you go out at night?
When he saw the boy beside him, he was surprised that the boy who would faint when he saw the moon was also there, so he asked casually.
Xu'er shook his head and said, I'm already well. Now that I see the moon, I won't faint.
Really! That's great. Wang Meng smiled.
The older people in the village are called Juvenile Xu'er, most of the young people call him a fool, and the friendly ones call him Huang Ji.
Huang Ji was the boy's big name and the name registered on his ID card, while Xu'er was just a nickname.
He was born on March 25, 1993, the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar to worship Xuanyuan.
He was born in the early morning, and he picked up his mother and son from the hospital in the afternoon. The old man was very happy when he hugged his grandson. It happened to be the third day of March, so he put incense on Xuanyuan's old man's house, and then named his grandson.
Xinzheng is the old capital of the Yellow Emperor, the Ruins of Xuanyuan. Our family name is Huang. We can't afford a big name, so let's call it 'Xu'.
The meaning of the old man is very simple. The child was born on the third day of the third month of the third month. Xinzheng is Xuanyuan Ruins again, and the family name is Huang. The time and place are favorable, so the name should be on Xuanyuan Huangdi’s old man’s body.
If you dare not use the word Xuanyuan, it is called the word for ruins.
The nickname is Xu'er, which means the son of Xuanyuan Ruins.
They usually choose a name from the most knowledgeable family member, or let the oldest person choose it.
A large number of elders and children talk about it, but the father of the child can't get in.
The child's father was completely unhappy with the name Huang Xu, and a cheap name would not be such an unlucky word.
Ruins, ruins, and even graves.
Of course, the child's father didn't refute it on the spot, so it was up to the old man, because he really didn't have the right to speak for the child's name.
However, he also had an idea, because the child had to be his father to apply for the household registration.
So he let the old man in the family call him that, and when he registered his child, he secretly took another name, called 'Huang Ji'.
It doesn't mean much, just take a good meaning of reaching the top.
This matter was kept secret until the child was four years old and could not speak, and the old man found out when he took him to the hospital.
There is no doubt that the name on the household registration book and ID card is naturally a big name, and this name is used in school.
But the old man still stubbornly called him Xu'er, and the villagers were used to calling him Xu'er since childhood.
Wang Meng used to be a soldier, and when he came back, he worked as a police officer in the village. Sometimes Huang Ji fainted in junior high school, and he found a car to take him back to the village.
Wang Meng has always been very friendly to this little brother from the same village, and often sends him delicious food.
He fainted when he learned that Huang Ji couldn't look at the moon now, and was really happy for him.
But now, it is still important to find Dr. Liang.
Wang Meng continued to accompany the village chief and inquired from house to house.
However, the whole village has asked, and no one has seen Dr. Liang today.
In this regard, the village chief still wanted to go to the house to find it. If the door was locked, he would pick the lock.
But Wang Meng said, No, I don't know if Dr. Liang is missing or not, but I can't lock her into her house.
Why isn't he missing? The big living people are gone! Maybe they've been abducted! the village chief said angrily.
Wang Mengwei asked: There are no witnesses, and the time of disappearance is so short. Maybe they are really in a hurry to go back to the city? I can't let you pick the lock of others. A talented student like Dr. Liang values privacy very much.
Having said that, the three of them, plus several villagers who were eager to help, had already walked to the door of the health station, where Dr. Liang's residence was nearby.
Although Dr. Liang's house was locked, the health station was not locked. Everyone was looking inside to see if there were any messages from Dr. Liang.
Huang Ji did not follow in, but stood at the door, staring at the concrete road in front of the door, and then his eyes seemed to follow a certain trajectory, all the way to the end of the road.
Five people...Wang Zhen, Hu Feng, Lu Zongmin, Lin Yong...and Liang Yuan, Dr. Liang... Huang Ji said silently in a voice that only he could hear.
He can see what ordinary people can't see, and perceive what ordinary people can't perceive.
As a mentally retarded, he knows more than others...
After observing the scene for a while, he looked at the old tree by the road not far away, and said secretly: There is another... Li Fan, who is an eyewitness.
At this moment, Wang Meng walked out of the health station with nothing, and smiled when he saw Huang Ji standing on the side of the road in a daze.
Huang Ji was often in a daze, and he was used to it, so he stepped forward and said, Go back to rest early, I am a policeman now, leave this to me, make sure Dr. Liang is fine.
Wang Meng knew that Huang Ji had a good relationship with Dr. Liang, but he expected that Huang Ji would not be able to help, so he said in a childlike tone, trying to coax him home.
However, Huang Ji raised his head and said, Someone saw it.
