Chapter 104: The Guo Family
Guo Huaijie was born in the early thirties in a small railway town in northeast China.
The two old men depended on him for their lives and doted on him boundlessly, and he developed many bad habits such as extreme selfishness, laziness, and arrogance since he was a child.
But he's very smart, and he can learn everything as soon as he learns it.
His grandparents worked hard to provide for him to go to school until he finished junior high school.
When he was fifteen years old, two old men abandoned him one after another, and both died.
Without his grandparents, Guo Huaijie has neither a living support nor the constraints of adults.
Barely an adult, he sold his hometown's house and land, climbed onto a coal train, and began to wander around.
At that time, the RB people had just been defeated, the Northeast was liberated, and the whole of China was both immersed in the joy of victory and in an unprecedented state of chaos.
Gangs are everywhere, various forces have appeared, and some extremely secretive and shady organizations have simmered.
Guo Huaijie is too young to judge good or bad, right or wrong.
Coupled with his strong curiosity and whimsy, he was absorbed as an apprentice by a shady organization active in Shanxi and Shaanxi.
The shady organization he joined was called the "Yin and Yang Society", and some people called it the "Ghost Tamer Gang", "Ghost Tamers" and so on.
As soon as you hear the name, you probably know that this is a group of people who do not follow the right path of "evil evil paths".
However, encountering this organization and joining it instead of Guo Huaijie's intentions.
He thought he had found a path to transcendent holiness.
The "Yin and Yang Society", as the name suggests, is a gang that studies the underworld and the paper and the yang.
To put it bluntly, they are organizations that study the "ghosts" of the underworld and how they are used in the yang.
The number of people in the organization is not large, but it is very widely distributed, and it can be said that no matter where you go, you can find the people of their organization in a special way.
The "Yin and Yang Society" is very different from the "Yin and Yang" that is usually called.
"Yin and Yang" is a profession that has existed in ancient China.
They look at feng shui for people, look for a stable and prosperous cemetery, let the dead be buried in the ground, and let the descendants and relatives of the deceased find comfort in their hearts.
"Yin and yang" is an important part of traditional Chinese funeral culture, and it can be said that it is indispensable in the area where burial is practiced.
Of course, "yin and yang" sometimes also treat people for the doctor, through special means, to appease ghosts and gods, and resolve people's bad luck, as the saying goes, "talking about superstition".
However, a good "yin and yang" does not engage in the game of playing tricks on gods and ghosts.
Because they understand that humans and ghosts belong to different "heavenly ways", and only by doing their own way can they maintain the normal "operation of the heavenly way".
If you artificially break the normal "operation of the way of heaven", you will eventually be "damned".
This point is the watershed between "yin and yang" and "yin and yang society", and it is the key point that distinguishes them.
The reason why it is said that the "Yin and Yang Society" is a shady organization is that there is no "Heavenly Dao" in their minds, there is no bottom line for being a person and doing things, and everything proceeds from their own interests and needs.
They study "ghosts" in order to use them for their own benefit.
They treat "ghosts" by unscrupulous means, and even more so by unscrupulous means to treat the world.
After Guo Huaijie joined the association, he mainly learned a set of methods for refining "baby ghosts".
They found dead babies born less than a month earlier and refined them.
The refining process is complex and does not need to be repeated.
These babies only have an innate "spirit", because they have not yet entered the world, they have no consciousness of normal people, and it is impossible to distinguish between right and wrong.
This is exactly where the "Yin Yang Society" or the "Ghost Taming Gang" are looking at.
Guo Huaijie studied in the "Yin and Yang Society" for a total of four years, followed the people from south to north, increased a lot of knowledge, and slowly became mature and sinister.
After the founding of New China, with Mao Weiren's call to "sweep away all ghosts, snakes, and gods", a huge movement to break feudal superstition arose in the whole of China.
In this movement, some of Guo Huaijie's masters, brothers, etc., were executed for committing human lives, and some were reformed through labor.
The ugly and shady organization of the "Yin-Yang Society" has been swept into the dustbin of history.
Only Guo Huaijie is the smartest, and he has become a traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture doctor in a county-level hospital in southwest China.
The theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the theory of yin and yang are both derived from the Book of Changes, which can be said to be two flowers blooming from one root.
Guo Huaijie also learned some acupuncture techniques during the "Yin and Yang Meeting", and some of them combined acupuncture with ghost hunting, which could receive better results.
In fact, he has also been cured of some incurable diseases.
That's why he was able to go into the hospital and become a doctor.
If Guo Huaijie studied medicine and behaved hard from this time on, he might be able to live an ordinary and happy life like a normal person.
But he wasn't born like that.
The study and experience of the "Yin and Yang Society" always made him feel that he was superior to others, and he should be more free to do whatever he wanted.
He took advantage of his work in the hospital to find dead premature babies and secretly refined the "baby ghost".
He named the "baby ghost" Tiger Baby, and offered it with "Xiangma" in the dormitory at night, and carried it with him in a bottle during the day.
"Hard work pays off".
The "baby ghosts" he supports are becoming more and more powerful, and can accomplish many tasks that people can't imagine.
For example, he was too lazy to cook, so he asked the tiger baby to steal meat and steamed buns from the staff stove.
He was short of money to spend, so when he saw that the store had money in store at night, he sent the tiger baby to steal it.
Anyway, as long as the tiger baby comes out, these little things are all at hand, which further fuels Guo Huaijie's lazy and lazy bad habits.
Of course, tiger babies are not served in vain, and as tiger babies grow up, they also give birth to many strange needs.
For example, he likes all things shiny.
At first, Guo Huaijie collected a large pile of broken glass to worship in the dormitory, but he quickly got tired of it.
Later, Guo Zhijie collected women's bracelets and necklaces with him.
Unexpectedly, something happened because of this.
A few colleagues found that Guo Huaijie didn't do anything, but he ate and drank, and spent money like running water, and they were suspicious.
Those people took advantage of Guo Huai's opportunity to pry open his dormitory and saw a room full of bracelets and necklaces, several of which were lost by the staff and patients of the hospital.
This is considered a big disaster, Guo Huaijie was regarded as a thief and a bad element, and was criticized in the whole hospital.
After that, he was fired from the county hospital and relegated to a remote rural area to become a barefoot doctor.
Barefoot doctors are a profession unique to New China.
In rural areas where there is a shortage of medical treatment, barefoot doctors have played an irreplaceable role in history.
If Guo Huaijie is a barefoot doctor, he can treat the masses well, and from then on he will be a new person and accumulate good deeds, and he will be able to live an enviable life in difficult rural areas.
But, that's impossible!
Guo Huaijie only stayed in the village for half a year, and then "there was a long spring under his butt - he couldn't sit still." ”
He quietly escaped from the village, carried the tiger baby in his arms, and began to wander the world.
He inquired about a village where someone had an incurable disease, and he went to help him treat it.
He used his medical knowledge and tiger baby's ability to wander all the way to see people, and he did take good care of some patients, and he ate and drank everywhere he went.
During this period, one of Guo Huaijie's biggest bad problems was gradually exposed, that is, lust.
It is said that he is in his twenties, and it is natural to find a suitable woman to marry and have children, and no one can say that it is wrong.
But he doesn't, he's lazy and doesn't want to take on even the slightest bit of responsibility and obligation for women and families.
He just wants to keep getting beautiful women and abandon them as soon as his desires are satisfied.
He traveled all over the country and the countryside, and because of his medical skills, he also won the favor of some women, and even some women found this person mysterious and loved him very much.
But he never wanted to start a family with any of them, nor did he cherish any of them.
Just like "monkey breaking rice", take a bite, throw one, walk all the way, love all the way, and abandon all the way.
A few of them, he hooked up with a lost woman who looked a little good, and was found chasing and beating, but the tiger baby ran all the way with him on his back, and each time it was considered frightening.
He has traveled almost half of China, constantly treating people all the way, constantly cheating people and money, running away when something goes wrong, mixing up at the age of 40, and going straight to the year of the "Mandate of Heaven".
finally let him meet a "hard stubble" woman in Sichuan.
This woman is beautiful and charming, but unfortunately her fate is not good, and as soon as she got married, the man had a car accident.
She had a strange disease, which can be called "hysteria" in medicine, and the legend of the illness at every turn was about her dead husband.
Her family found Guo Huaijie through others and asked him to heal.
Guo Zhijie fell in love with her beauty as soon as they met, and then saw that she had "hysteria", which was the disease he was best at treating, so he agreed.
It took ten days for the woman's illness to be completely cured, and she also fell in love with Guo Huaijie, and the two of them had crossed the "boundary river".
After living together for two months, Guo Huaijie's old illness relapsed and he wanted to leave.
The woman had already realized that two days earlier she had drunk him with wine, and found out that his biggest hole card was the tiger baby, so she stole the glass bottle containing the tiger baby and hid it.
Guo Zhijie begged for a glass bottle, but the woman refused to give it to her.
She said that Guo Huaijie had to marry him, and she would not return the glass bottle to him until she had a child.
The two of them became more and more noisy, and finally moved directly.
The woman took out a kitchen knife to threaten Guo Huaijie with suicide, but unexpectedly, he was so frustrated that he pushed the boat down the river and killed him directly.
