The Omniscient

Chapter 1: Born stupid

Views:

On February 2, the dragon raised its head. On March 3rd, worship Xuanyuan.

March 29, 2009 is the third day of the third lunar month.

Xinzheng Huazhuang, Henan Province, where every household was still alive a few years ago, kept the custom of worshiping Xuanyuan on this day.

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

Some people are more solemn, put some sacrifices, and have a richer dinner at home, which can be regarded as a birthday for Xuanyuan Huangdi and his old man.

Most of them are relatively simple, just that the elderly in the family bring the children to burn incense sticks to the Yellow Emperor in the house.

Some people even don't have this habit at all.

However, the old Huang's family worshiped Xuanyuan every year, even if the old man was the only one left in the family with a grandson, they never hesitated.

After cleaning the incense offering, the old man put on a stick of incense, and said sadly: "I beg the Yellow Emperor, please bless my family, stay healthy...cough cough cough..."

"Grandpa! It's time to eat." A teenager came into the room with a plate and cleared the table very quickly.

The old man coughed and sat down, looking at his grandson worriedly.

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

The boy smiled and said, "Doctor Liang said that I am emotionally stable and I am fine."

The old man nodded, looking at the cheerful grandson, his sadness gradually disappeared.

The grandpa and grandson were having lunch, and the old man tried his best to pick up vegetables, looking at his grandson dotingly and distressedly.

The life of the child is hard, and there are problems in the brain since childhood.

Moreover, the pupils of his natural eyes are different from others. There are too many white spots in the pupils, forming a white ring, which looks like a big pupil with a small pupil.

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

The old man believed it, so he never saw a doctor.

It wasn't until he was four years old that he couldn't speak, that the family was in a hurry and took the child to see a doctor.

After the test, it was found that his IQ was only 50...slightly mentally handicapped, belonging to the foolish mental retardation.

Not only that, the eyes are not double pupils, but congenital cataracts, poor vision, only 0.2 in both eyes, and astigmatism.

He has been plagued by so many diseases since he was a child, but the old man loves him to death.

Unfortunately, these two diseases are incurable.

However, mental retardation does not mean that you are a fool, especially if you are slightly mentally handicapped, it is just that you have inattention, poor memory, poor thinking and language skills.

When Xu'er was five years old, his parents went out to work and had an accident. The gas car exploded, and both husband and wife died.

That year, Xu'er called her parents for the first time, but unfortunately her parents couldn't hear her anymore.

Although he has received a lot of compensation, the child has lost his parents since he was a child, and only his grandfather took him with him, so he is quite lonely.

Afterwards, his mental retardation improved significantly, and he was able to speak. Although his expressive ability was poor, he could understand everything others said, but he seemed rather dull.

Ever since he could speak, he has always said that he can see some strange things and feel some very complicated things.

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

Over time, it was rumored in the village that this kid could see dirty things. The old man was very jealous of this, so whenever his grandson mentioned it, he would beat him and scold him: "There is nothing! Don't talk nonsense!"

After going back and forth, Xu'er didn't mention it anymore.

After the age of seven, he did not go to a special school, but went to compulsory education in regular classes. Although his grades were bottom and he was slower than others in learning everything, he was able to communicate with others.

But in junior high school, it was different. The study was much more intensive, and he couldn't keep up with his studies at all.

His teachers disliked him, and his classmates called him an idiot.

He also wants to use more time to study and make up for his shortcomings, but once he uses his brain for a long time, he will suffer from extreme pain, have a splitting headache, and even go into a coma.

Especially at night, once I look up at the starry sky, I will have a headache, bit my lip and tremble silently.

Seeing the moon, he passed out directly.

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

I gave up the high school entrance examination in June 2008, and it has been more than half a year now, plowing the fields, harvesting and threshing, these rough jobs are done very neatly.

Carrying water and cooking pots every day looks like ordinary people.

In my spare time, I sit on the ridge in a daze, or stare at other people talking 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 the days went by day by day, the old man thought to himself, it would be good to just live his life in peace, but he was worried that he would never be able to marry a wife in his life.

I'm even more worried about my body. The old man's lungs have always been bad. The older he gets, the more serious his old problems become. .

He didn't know that he fell down, what about his grandson

"Doctor Liang! Doctor Liang!" After eating, he was clearing up the dishes when the village chief's voice sounded from 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?" the village head said.

The old man shook his head and said, "No, Xu'er is much better now, and every morning he is asked to go to Dr. Liang's health station to see a doctor by himself, and Dr. Liang will not bother to make a trip."

The village chief frowned and said, "Morning? Dr. Liang disappeared early in the morning. It's already night and he hasn't come back yet. The door of the health station is not locked. I'm thinking wrong. Let's see if it's in your house." .”

Because Xu'er fell into a coma from time to time, Dr. Liang often came to Huang's house to take a look, 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 expression on her face.

Although it was surprising that he didn't look at the moon and fell into a coma, he always trembled inexplicably and babbled nonsense afterwards. The old man invited Dr. Liang to his home to come and see him. This continued for several days. Now that Dr. Liang was missing, the village head was the first to find the Huang family.

"Doctor Liang disappeared early in the morning? Xu'er!" The old man turned his head and stared at Xu'er.

Xu'er stepped forward and said honestly, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I lied to you. I didn't see Dr. Liang this morning."

"You have learned to lie!" The old man was furious. His grandson had never lied to anyone before, and he never expected to 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 are you not sick! Doctor Liang said that you are mental... In short, it doesn't matter if you are sick or not, it's up to the doctor! I believed in that charlatan back then and didn't take you to see a doctor sooner!" The old man said excitedly , After all, I feel a little guilty.

In fact, Xu'er's illnesses are all congenital and cannot be cured, and the cause of coma has not been found out yet. Seeing a doctor earlier makes no difference. But the old man just felt that it was his fault.

Especially last week, Dr. Liang even 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 that he had developed a mental illness.

Regarding the old man's words, Xu'er just smiled obediently, and quickly helped her grandfather to sit down... The old man is getting old, and he also has old problems with his respiratory tract, so he is a little out of breath from anger at the moment.

Xu'er said: "Grandpa, you can rest at home. I will accompany the village head 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 have to have a conscience. Old Fan, just let my grandson follow you, let him do errands or something. , he's not that stupid yet. I hope Dr. Liang is okay..."

The village head 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 about how many people I asked, and the living people just disappeared.

The folks in the village also felt that something was wrong: "Did you make a call?"

"It's on, turn off the phone." The village chief said.

"Are you going back to your hometown?" someone asked.

The village head shook his head. Dr. Liang graduated from the Capital Medical University. Although he doesn't know why he came to work in this remote village, he is good at medicine, kind and treats people very well. Anyone in the villages in the village will come to her for minor ailments.

She lives a very regular life, and she never fails to find anyone, especially if the door of the health station is unlocked, it is even more impossible to disappear for a day, so everyone suspects that something happened.

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

The village chief said seriously: "Wang Meng, why are you alone?"

"Dr. Liang has only been missing for more than ten hours, and he is an adult, so there is no case. Maybe he went out to play?" Police officer Wang Meng said helplessly.

"Impossible, Dr. Liang can't go out to play without locking the door, something must have happened." The village head said.

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

"Eh? Huang Ji, won't you faint when you go out at night?"

Seeing the young man 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 her head and said, "I'm already healed. Now that I see the moon, I won't faint anymore."

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

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

Huang Ji was the boy's first name, and it was also the name registered on his ID card, while Xu'er was just his nickname.

He was born on March 25, 1993, which is also the day of worshiping Xuanyuan on the third day of the third lunar month.

Born in the early morning, the mother and child were picked up from the hospital in the afternoon. The old man was overjoyed to hold his grandson. It happened to be March 3rd, so he put incense on Xuanyuan's old man and named his grandson.

"Xinzheng is the former capital of the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan's Ruins. Our family name is Huang, so we can't afford a big name, so let's call it 'Xuan'."

The meaning of the old man is very simple, the child was born on the third day of March, and here in Xinzheng is Xuanyuan Ruins, and his family name is Huang. The time and place are favorable, so the name should be on the old man Xuanyuan Huangdi.

I dare not use the word Xuanyuan, so I call it the word Xu, and it is good to rub it around, so I call it Huangxu.

The nickname is Xu'er, which means the son of Xuanyuanxu.

In the rural areas where they choose names, they usually ask the most educated person in the family to choose one, or let the oldest person choose one.

The elders of the whole family talked and talked, but the father of the child couldn't intervene.

For the name Huangxu, the child's father was not happy at all, and it wouldn't be such an unlucky name to choose a cheap name.

Ruins, the meaning of ruins, and even the meaning of graves.

Of course, the child's father didn't refute on the spot, so he left it to the old man, because he really didn't have the right to say anything about naming the child.

But he also has an idea, because the child's household registration must be done by his father.

So I let the old man call it that, and when I registered the child, I secretly chose another name called 'Huang Ji'.

There is not much meaning, just a good moral to reach the pinnacle.

This matter was kept a secret until the old man took him to the hospital when the child could not speak until he was four years old.

There is no doubt that the name on the household registration book and ID card is naturally a daimyo, and this name is used in school.

But the old man still insisted on calling him Xu'er, and the folks in the village were used to calling him Xu'er since they were young.

Wang Meng served in the army and worked as a policeman in the village after returning. Huang Ji sometimes 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 his hometown, and often gave him delicious food.

Knowing that Huang Ji can't look at the moon now, he fainted, and I'm really happy for him.

But now, it is still important to find Dr. Liang.

Wang Meng continued to accompany the village chief, inquiring from house to house.

However, the whole village has asked, and no one has seen Dr. Liang today.

In this regard, the village head still wanted to go to the house to look for 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. You can't pick the lock to enter her house."

"Why didn't he disappear? The living person just disappeared! Maybe he was abducted!" the village chief said angrily.

Wang Meng wondered: "There are no witnesses, and the disappearance time is so short. Maybe someone really has to go back to the city in an emergency? I can't let you pick the lock. A talented student like Dr. Liang values privacy very much."

As they said that, the three of them, together with several helpful fellow villagers, had already reached the entrance of the health station, and Dr. Liang's residence was right next to them.

Although Dr. Liang's house is locked, the door of the health station is not locked. Everyone is looking inside to see if there is any message from Dr. Liang.

Huang Ji didn't 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, looking 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 muttered in a voice only he could hear.

He can see what ordinary people can't see, and perceive what ordinary people can't perceive.

As a mentally handicapped person, he knows more than others...

After observing the scene around, he looked at the old tree not far away from the road, and secretly said: "There is another... Li Fan, who is an eyewitness."

At this moment, Wang Meng walked out of the sanitation station with nothing. Seeing Huang Ji standing on the side of the road in a daze, he smiled.

Huang Ji was often in a daze, and he was used to it, so he stepped forward and said, "Go back and rest early, I'm a policeman now, leave this matter to me, and make sure that 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 coaxing tone like a child, trying to coax him home.

However, Huang Ji raised his head and said, "Someone saw it."
