Kowloon Feng Shui Master (ePub)

My parents hanged themselves the first day I was born.

Because I was the one who shouldn't have been born, I am alive because my grandfather took his life in exchange.

My grandfather, Lin Feng, was a well-known feng shui master, and he gave me my name, Lin Pui.

On the day I was born, the village was suddenly hit by a once-in-a-century flood that submerged half of the village. People outside couldn't get in, and people inside couldn't get out, and it looked like the whole village was going to be swept away by the flood.

That night, my parents chose to hang themselves. Strangely enough, the floodwaters receded by half after my parents hung themselves. But the whole village started to become strange, the flood water surrounded the village and would not recede, famine and pestilence filled the village.

Everyone in the village believed in evil and thought I was very unlucky. Seeing that the flood waters were slow to recede, the conflict soon reached its peak. The villagers wanted to sacrifice me to the river god, and just when they wanted to do it, Grandpa did something that no one expected.

He cut down the old acacia tree where mom and dad hanged themselves, made a coffin out of the trunk, then put me in the coffin and threw the coffin into the river with me.
