Chapter 5 Going to the Countryside
As the saying goes, a good man doesn't eat the loss in front of him, Zhang Guozhong ran away, but at this moment, Li Daming suddenly collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud. Zhang Guozhong heard a plop, and couldn't help but look back, and at this moment, he saw Captain Li suddenly grinning and rushing up, and grabbed Zhang Guozhong's neck.
At this time, the stunned young man next to him also reacted, swarmed up, and broke Captain Li's arm, to say that Captain Li's strength was much smaller than Li Daming's, and he was tied up in an instant. At this time, Zhang Guozhong covered his neck with his hands, panting heavily, and saw Captain Li squatting on the ground and smirking, his expression was exactly the same as Li Daming.
At this time, Captain Li's son rushed up and was about to hit Zhang Guozhong, "You little bastard, my dad believes in you so much, but you got that thing on my dad..."
Although he failed twice, Zhang Guozhong's view of the book changed completely, and he began to believe that the content of the book was by no means as simple as he imagined, and it was by no means explained by science.
With apologies to Captain Li and Li Daming's daughter, Zhang Guozhong returned to the city. I found an opportunity to tell my grandfather about my experience in the countryside, and his grandfather frowned after hearing it, "What is at stake?" "That's it! In the end, even the hemp rope as thick as a broom stick almost broke. "Don't mess with this kind of thing in the future! When I was young, I was not afraid of heaven and earth, just like you, and I suffered a lot of losses. That thing is not something that we ordinary people can fight! Grandpa shook his head and went back to the attic.
However, Zhang Guozhong's mind could not be calm for a long time. The day after returning from the countryside, a fabricated critical article was submitted to the Revolutionary Committee. In the article, Zhang Guozhong taught the villagers to believe in science, many patients who could not be cured by gods and witches, Zhang Guozhong took the doctor over, and it was good to take an injection, and the things written on the "Maoshan Atlas" did not work at all when used on the villagers, misleading others and themselves, and finally the doctor used science to save people, etc., in the article, Zhang Guozhong saved the vast number of villagers who were poisoned by feudal superstition as a proletarian historian of science, and the "Maoshan Illustrated Chronicle" that represented feudal superstitious ideas naturally became a big tumor of the socialist motherland.
The article was praised by the leaders of the school reform committee, and it was recommended to the city. In the article, the "Maoshan Illustrated Chronicle" was burned in public by Zhang Guozhong, symbolizing the final victory of the great proletarian scientific outlook over the poison of feudal superstitious ideas.
At this time, it was already the spring of 1968, a larger-scale movement forced the whole society into a state of chaos, during the day, Zhang Guozhong went out as usual to smash and rob, engage in sports, and went home at night to secretly study this "Maoshan Tuzhi", during this period, from many old intellectuals' homes and copied out a lot of old books, even including a well-preserved Republic of China version of the "Kangxi Dictionary" and the lead-printed version of the "Vernacular Book of Changes", which played a great role in Zhang Guozhong's study of this "Maoshan Tuzhi" based on ancient texts.
A year has passed, Zhang Guozhong's study of "Maoshan Tuzhi" has made great progress, many ways and methods have been mastered, a lot of things that were difficult to figure out before, with the help of some ancient books copied by the family, can also be a real item to the number, at this time Zhang Guozhong's greatest wish is to one day learn some real skills, to save that Li Daming, that Li Daming's family is really too poor.
* During the period, everyone was poor, especially Zhang Guozhong's family, his father was implicated by his grandfather and was fired from the factory, his mother looked at the warehouse for an insole factory, 17 yuan a month, Zhang Guozhong did not work for a long time, 20 yuan a month, Zhang Guozhong also had a younger brother in the third year of high school, the whole family together, 37 yuan a month to feed 5 people, if anyone is poor and even Zhang Guozhong can't stand it, it is really poor.
On this day, Zhang Guozhong's mother wrapped two pairs of insoles in newspaper and went home, saying that they were sent from the factory, and Zhang Guozhong was not interested in the insoles, but the words in the newspaper attracted Zhang Guozhong's attention.
"It is very necessary for young intellectuals to go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants. It is necessary to persuade urban cadres and others to send their children who have graduated from junior high school, high school, and university to the countryside for mobilization. Comrades in the rural areas everywhere should welcome them there. ”
This is Chairman Mao's call, but in Zhang Guozhong's eyes, this is an opportunity to go to the countryside in the name of righteousness, where there are more strange things, and it will also help him to learn "Maoshan Tuzhi".
For Zhang Guozhong's trip to the countryside, the family originally strongly opposed it, but Zhang Guozhong had a good relationship with the director of the school reform committee, and arranged his younger brother, who was in his third year of high school, to work in school, which was regarded as replacing himself. Although the replacement system in the past was all about sons and sons, but in that chaotic era, the principal was a live target to fight, and the Revolutionary Committee was the big brother. The economic problem is solved, and the family will not care much, after all, the income is not much less, but there is less mouth to eat. So, Zhang Guozhong packed a few clothes, took the books he should take, and went to the countryside with a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old bald boys as an educated youth, and the place where Zhang Guozhong went was Li Village.
