Chapter 1 Born to be foolish(1/2)

On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head. On the third day of March, the worship of Xuanyuan.

March 29, 2009, this day was the third day of the third lunar month.

In Xinzheng Huazhuang, Henan Province, every household was still here a few years ago, and the custom of worshiping ancestors and Xuanyuan on this day was retained.

But as more and more young and middle-aged people go to the city to work, there are mostly elderly people and children in the village. Some customs and habits are simplified, and the festive atmosphere gradually fades.

Some families are more solemn, so they have some offerings and a sumptuous dinner at home, which is considered to celebrate his birthday for Emperor Huangdi Xuanyuan.

Most of them are relatively simple, but the elderly at home took their children to incense the Huangdi in the house.

Some families even don’t have this habit.

However, the old Huang family worships Xuanyuan every year, and even if there is only one old man left in the family and a grandson, they have never been vague.

After cleaning up the incense offering, the old man put on a stick of incense and said sadly: "Please bless my family with good health... cough cough cough..."

"Grandpa! It's time to eat." A young man came into the room with a dish plate and cleaned up the table very quickly.

The old man sat down with a cough and looked at his grandson worriedly.

He asked, "Xu'er, what did Dr. Liang say about your situation in the morning?"

The boy smiled and said, "Dr. Liang said I was in a stable mood and I was fine."

The old man nodded and looked at his cheerful grandson, his sadness gradually faded.

The grandfather and grandson were having lunch, and the old man tried his best to pick up food, looking at his grandson with pampering and heartache.

Children have a hard life, but they have problems with their brains since childhood.

Moreover, his natural pupils of his eyes are different from others. His pupils have too many white spots, which are connected into a circle of white rings, which looks like a large pupil with a small pupil.

He couldn't speak for a long time, and his eyes were dull. However, a fortune teller kept saying good things about him, and his eyes were made of double pupils. He was born with a saint.

The old man believed it and never saw the doctor.

It was not until I was four years old and could not speak, but my family became anxious and took the child to see a doctor.

After the test, he said that his IQ is only fifty... he is slightly mentally retarded, and he is a foolish and mentally retarded type.

Not only that, the eyes do not have double pupils, but have congenital cataracts, poor vision, both eyes only have 0.2, and also have astigmatism.

I have been suffering from so many diseases since I was a child, but it made the old man feel so distressed.

But neither of these diseases can be cured.

However, if you have an intellectual disability, you are not just a fool, especially a mildly mentally weak person, but you just seem to be inattentive, have poor memory, and have poor thinking and language skills.

When Xu'er was five years old, her parents went out to work and had an accident. The gas car exploded and the couple died.

That year, Xu'er called her parents for the first time, but unfortunately her parents could no longer hear it.

Although I received a lot of compensation, the child has lost his parents since he was a child, and only his grandfather has taken care of him, which is quite lonely.

After that, his intellectual disability improved significantly and he could speak. Although his expression ability was very poor, he could understand everything others said, but he seemed rather dull.

Since he could speak, he always said that he could see some weird things and feel some very complicated things.

But he couldn't explain it clearly, as if he had seen a ghost, and had double pupils.

Over time, it was said in the village that this kid could see dirty things. The old man was very afraid of this, so whenever his grandson talked about it, he would beat him and scold him: "Nothing is there! Don't talk nonsense!"

After a while, Xu'er stopped mentioning it.

After the age of seven, I did not go to a special school, but instead attended compulsory education in class. Although my grades were the last and I was several shots slower than others in everything I learned, I was able to communicate with others.

But when he arrived in junior high school, it became different. His study was much more compact and he could not keep up with his studies at all.

The teacher disliked him, and the classmates called him stupid.

He also wants to spend more time studying and making up for his shortcomings, but once he uses his brain for a long time, he will suffer in great pain, have a split headache, and even fall into a coma.

Especially at night, once you look up at the stars, you will have a headache and bit your lips and tremble without saying a word.

When I saw the moon, I fell into a coma.

Grandpa felt sorry for him, and with the teacher's persuasion, he finally asked him to give up the high school entrance examination and take him home to help and farm.

I gave up the high school entrance examination in June 2008. Half a year has passed since then. I have been working very well on farming and harvesting and threshing.

I pick up water and cook every day and look like ordinary people.

In my spare time, I sit on the ridge of the field in a daze, stare at others in a daze, or watch TV, watching all day.

Whenever that was the case, he was like the big fool of the Huang family in the eyes of others.

But life was going through day by day, and the old man thought to himself that it would be better to live a peaceful life for the rest of his life, but he was worried that he would not be able to marry a wife in his life.

I was even more worried about my body. The old man's lungs were always bad. The older he was, the more serious the old problems he had. He coughed all day long, his throat was covered with phlegm, his trachea was blocked, and his hands and feet became more and more powerless.

He didn't know what he had fallen, what should he do?

"Doctor Liang! Doctor Liang!" After dinner, he was packing up the dishes and the village chief's voice sounded outside the yard.

The old man walked to the yard, opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Old Huang, is Dr. Liang in your house?" said the village chief.

The old man shook his head and said, "No, Xu'er is much better now. Every morning, he will ask him to go to Dr. Liang's health station to see a doctor by himself. Dr. Liang will go there for no need."

The village chief frowned and said, "Morning? Doctor Liang disappeared early in the morning. It's evening now. He hasn't come back yet, and the door of the sanitary station is not locked. I'm thinking that it's wrong. I won't see if it's in your house."

Because Xu'er was unconscious from time to time, Dr. Liang often came to Huang's house to help him, and sometimes stayed for dinner.

Last week, Xuer was unconscious. After waking up, she ran to the yard and stared at the moon, her face looking very ugly.

Although I was surprised that I didn't see the moon unconscious again, I always shivered for no reason and talked nonsense afterwards. The old man invited Dr. Liang to his home for a while. This happened for several days. Now that Dr. Liang is missing, the village chief takes the lead in finding the Huang family.

"Doctor Liang disappeared early in the morning? Xu'er!" The old man turned around 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 to see a doctor in the morning."

"You actually learned to lie!" The old man was furious. His grandson had never deceived anyone, but he didn't expect that he would lie to him now!

Xu'er apologized: "I'm sorry, grandpa, I'm really not sick, I'm already cured. Dr. Liang is very busy, she is under a lot of pressure and has a lot of troubles in her heart. I shouldn't bother her every day."

"Why aren't you sick? Doctor Liang said you have sex... In short, it doesn't matter whether you have any illness or not, but what the doctor says! I believed that liar in the world back then and didn't take you to see the doctor early!" The old man said excitedly, feeling a little guilty after saying that.

In fact, Xu'er's illness is congenital and cannot be cured. The reason for the coma has not been found out now. It is no difference to see a doctor early. But the old man just thinks it is 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 had developed mental illness.

As for the old man's words, Xu'er just smiled obediently and quickly helped his grandfather sit down... The old man is old and has old problems with the respiratory tract. At this moment, he is a little angry and a little out of breath.

Xu'er said, "Grandpa, you can rest at home. I will accompany the village chief 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., just let him do it. He is not so stupid. I hope Dr. Liang has nothing to do..."

The village chief nodded and hurriedly took the boy away.

After leaving the door, the two of them asked door to door along the road.

I didn't even know how to ask a few companies, and the living people were gone.

The villagers and fellow villagers also felt that it was wrong: "Have you called?"

"I've called it, shut down." said the village chief.

"Will you go back to your hometown?" someone said.

The village chief shook his head. Dr. Liang graduated from Capital Medical University. Although he didn't know why he came to work in this remote village, he had good medical skills, was kind and treated people well. He would look for her if anyone in the village had minor illnesses.

Her life is very regular and she never finds people, especially now that the doors of the sanitary station are not locked and they are missing for a day, which is even more impossible, so everyone suspects something is wrong.

"Uncle!" Suddenly, a young policeman arrived on a motorcycle. He was the policeman from the village police station, and the village chief of Huazhuang Village was his uncle.

The village chief said seriously: "Wang Meng, why are you the only one?"

"Dr. Liang has only been missing for more than ten hours and is an adult again. This cannot be filed. Maybe he has gone out to play?" Policeman Wang Meng said helplessly.

"Impossible, Dr. Liang cannot go out to play without locking the door. Something must have happened." said the village chief.

Wang Meng said, "So I'm not here to help?"

"Hey? Huang Ji, won't you faint if 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 there, so he asked casually.

Xu'er shook his head and said, "I'm already done. Now I don't faint when I see the moon."

"Yes! That's great." Wang Meng said with a smile.

The older people in the village are called Shao Nian Xuer, most of the young people call him stupid, and the friendly ones call him Huang Ji.

Huang Ji is the name of a young man and also the name registered on his ID card. Xuer is just a nickname.

He was born on March 25, 1993, which was also the day when he worshipped Xuanyuan on the third day of the third lunar month.

Born in the early morning, he brought the mother and son back from the hospital in the afternoon. The old man was so happy to carry his grandson. It happened to be March 3, so he burned incense on Xuanyuan and named his grandson.

"Xinzheng is the ancient capital of Huangdi, Xuanyuan Ruins. Our family's surname is Huang. If we can't afford a big name, just use it and call it "xu"."

The old man’s meaning is very simple. The child was born on the third day of the third month. Xinzheng is Xuanyuanxu, and his family’s surname is Huang. The time, place and people are in harmony. The name should be on Xuanyuan Huangdi.
