Chapter 6: Riverbanks
In fact, Zhang Guozhong to go to the small station, there are still some selfish, in the * period, eating is the eternal pursuit of people, do not know why, why people in those days are so able to eat, especially the rural labor force working in the field, no matter whether it is a wedding banquet, or at noon in the ground to eat meat and potatoes on the stick, never patted his stomach and said, "I'm full! I'm full." How much to eat, come and go, never full.
A year ago, the captain of Li's family of potato stewed chicken and chili scrambled eggs, in Zhang Guozhong, simply like yesterday, in Zhang Guozhong impression, small station is a rich place, all over the good land, the family chicken and duck flock, meat dare not say, but at least every day you can eat eggs, and the fragrant rice, Tianjin Xiaoshan rice is the country famous, in the old world, that is for the emperor to eat the tribute rice.
However, when Zhang Guozhong really to a young man, not the city sent to the identity of the God Han, once again set foot in Li Village, heart completely broken.
Here really grow rice crop land less pathetic, look around, all are endless corncobs and sorghum, let a person steal are lazy to steal. In addition to the "Welcome intellectual youth to Li Village" banquet held at Captain Li's house, Zhang Guozhong ate a few mouthfuls of long-lost meat, the next time he ate meat, in Zhang Guozhong's memory is the coming New Year's event.
However, when it comes to the banquet, it is another thing that will give Zhang Guozhong a headache for the rest of his life.
Captain Li in front of the village youths and villagers, Zhang Guozhong big praise a pass, said Zhang Guozhong despite their own danger to help the village to exorcise the ghosts, and the Taoist practice is very high, Li Daming's crash after Zhang Guozhong magic, has been a lot better, at least eat more than before, and the number of seizures per day seems to be less than before, what Zhang Guozhong is young but more capable than the neighboring village Xu Half-Shine, this kind of spirit is worthy of the vast number of members of the community to learn. This spirit is worthy of study by all members of the community, and so on.
Proletarian warriors led the villagers to subdue the demons, probably all the socialist camps in the world are counted, only the village of Li has, the following knowledgable youths laughed at the fork in the air, but the captain of the Li still meant to be strict, said endless, at that time Zhang Guozhong really want to find a crack in the ground to find a hole to drill in the suicide, but the good thing is that the villagers are still on his side, from time to time, to the blushing like a monkey's ass Zhang Guozhong threw a respectful gaze, for these people who do not even know the number of Chinese numbers below four, basically only know the number of Chinese numbers below four. For these villagers who basically only recognize Chinese numbers below four, the landlord of that year was the person sent by the city to fight down, and now the city has sent a person to the village to catch the demon, it seems that it is not something too much.
"Wait, everyone has misunderstood, I am a son of the working class, a staunch Marxist, there is no such thing as ghosts and gods in this world, I'm just doing my best to treat Comrade Li Daming's schizophrenia with some partial remedies..." Zhang Guozhong tried his best to explain, in fact, for the sake of reversing Captain Li and the villagers' In fact, Zhang Guozhong had basically despaired of reversing Captain Li's and the villagers' understanding, and these words of his were just for those Zhiqing below to hear.
After that, Zhang Guozhong was arranged to stay at Captain Li's house, because Captain Li felt that with such a half-immortal at home, he could sleep soundly in the middle of the night. Zhang Guozhong was too lazy to explain to him, and now the biggest knot in Zhang Guozhong's head was the bumping guest on that Li Daming.
After Zhang Guozhong inquired, since he last gave Li Daming put on a charm after not two months, Li Daming's bumpers did improve, not only can eat two meat and potatoes every day, and from time to time lucid, urged his daughter to go out and ask Mr. to see their own, which in Zhang Guozhong listen to the impossible, because at that time Zhang Guozhong on the drawing of charms is simply know nothing, completely according to the "Maoshan Atlas" on the illustrations, to find a simple point traced down. But then Zhang Guozhong carefully studied and found that the talisman he drew for Li Daming was not a ghost-repelling talisman, but a corpse-suppressing talisman, which was used to prevent the corpses of those who had just died recently from turning into corpses, according to the book, Li Daming's illness should be aggravated, so why did it get better all of a sudden?
Zhang Guozhong carefully recalled every scene and every sentence at that time, and suddenly remembered that Li Daming dug out the coffin while digging the river embankment, so the coffin must have been by the river, the river embankment... the river embankment...
Zhang Guozhong suddenly great realization moved runway Li village head of the house, shouting: I know! I know! It is the riverbank!
Captain Li was Zhang Guozhong's sudden excitement startled, busy asking what happened, but Zhang Guozhong shouted "river dike", and then Aunt Li gave Zhang Guozhong poured a cup of water and smoked the "comprehensive" brand of cigarettes that the captain forced on himself (comprehensive brand cigarettes, the cheapest cigarettes in the local market at that time), which was the most expensive brand of cigarettes. At that time, they were the cheapest cigarettes in the area. Its packaging, is with other cigarettes after smoking the wrapping paper, reverse packaging, the white backside exposed, and then stamped with the word "comprehensive" two words, but at that time, the rural areas are smoking dry cigarettes or rolled their own with horse manure paper, machine rolled out of the cigarettes, at that time, known as the "two Qi", is a symbol of high-grade. The machine-rolled cigarettes, then known as the "two Qi", is a symbol of high grade, in the countryside can smoke the "two Qi", is a very noble thing), excited to tell his thoughts to Captain Li. This was the first time Zhang Guozhong smoked, only to feel spicy and bitter, but at this time Zhang Guozhong, no longer care.
The next morning, Captain Li gathered a dozen strong laborers and brought Zhang Guozhong to the river embankment dug by Li Daming back then, which had already been repaired, and on that side of the embankment was the Playground River, which had been less watery in the past few years, and the embankment was just a showpiece.
A few villagers came to a small mound, pointing to the open space in front of the mound, told Zhang Guozhong that this was the place where Li Daming dug out the coffin.
Zhang Guozhong stood on the riverbank and looked at the surroundings, "This is it! It must be right!" Zhang Guozhong muttered.
Only two rows of protruding embankments were seen along the river, but in this area there happened to be a small creek that ran from south to north and merged into the playground river, south of the creek there was a row of willows that surrounded the creek and the playground river into a shape that seemed like a bow and arrow.
"This used to be a cemetery?"
"Yes, but after liberation the dead in the village were buried in the south, basically not here anymore."
"The coffin that Li Daming dug up, what's inside, have you seen it?"
"No, everyone thought it was evil, and within a few days after Li Daming's accident, he burned the coffin." Village Chief Li's eyes were glowing, full of trust in Zhang Guozhong.
"There was no one in that coffin at all!" Zhang Guozhong said through gritted teeth.
"What? There's no one? How could there be no one in the coffin, is it possible that the landlord's livestock are also buried in coffins?"
