Chapter 2 Li Village
"On May 7, 1946, Wang Xiangsheng, secretary of the Heping District Party Committee of the underground party, was my introducer to join the party! He can prove my innocence! ”
"I remember even the days so clearly, it's the same as what is written in the file, it can't be what Wei Lao Er told her before he died, right?" "Impossible, Wei Lao Er lived in the water room of the school until he hanged himself, he never went home, there are people standing guard in the school every day, with Wei Lao Er's body and bones, it is impossible to go out over the wall." The students muttered quietly, completely oblivious to the fact that Zhang Guozhong had come to the bedside of Secretary Wei's wife.
"Secretary Wei, everyone knows that Wang Xiangsheng is also a traitor, he died earlier than you, you said that you are not a traitor, do you have any other evidence?" At this time, Secretary Wei's wife looked at the front with her eyes straight ahead, as if nothing had happened, and smirked.
Zhang Guozhong's question, especially when he called Secretary Wei's wife "Secretary Wei", surprised the people around him. "I said, Comrade Zhang, are you crazy too? I've got to talk to you! Liu Honggang, a propagandist of the Revolutionary Committee standing on the side, looked at Zhang Guozhong solemnly.
Zhang Guozhong called everyone out of the door, "She's really crazy, didn't you see his eyes and his son?" She thought that she was Wei Laoer, she was absolutely crazy, and when she treated mental illness, she had to follow his words, in fact, mental patients have their own set of principles, as long as her set of principles is overturned, she will have no words. "Well, you have a point. Then you go ahead and give it a try. ”
Zhang Guozhong came to the bed of Secretary Wei's wife again, took out the vinegar bottle and grapefruit leaves in the bag, poured some vinegar on the grapefruit leaves, and pressed them on the head of Secretary Wei's wife. This trick was learned in "Maoshan Tuzhi". The surrounding classmates were stunned at this time, only to see Secretary Wei's wife's hands and feet twitching slightly, and her body kept twisting, "Hold her down!" Zhang Guozhong shouted, this is a great opportunity to test the authenticity of the "Maoshan Tuzhi", if the grapefruit leaves fall, the experiment will fail, and it will take 24 hours, that is, 48 hours later, to come again, then it will not be able to completely prove the falsity of the "Maoshan Tuzhi".
The people around didn't know what was going on, and subconsciously pressed the hands and feet of Secretary Wei's wife. After about a minute, Secretary Wei's wife didn't move, and everyone's faces were confused, "What's wrong with her?" It's not dead, is it? A female student asked with a frightened face.
Removing the grapefruit leaves, Zhang Guozhong carefully watched Secretary Wei's wife's every move, and for a long time, Secretary Wei's wife opened her eyes and often let out a sigh: "Where am I?" ”……
Zhang Guozhong told those students of the Revolutionary Committee that this is a home remedy for neurosis in his hometown, and it is not easy to use every time. But the actual situation is only known to Zhang Guozhong himself, and this experience has shaken Zhang Guozhong's doubts about the authenticity of "Maoshan Tuzhi", "Could it be a coincidence?" But it's too much of a coincidence, right? No, it must be a coincidence, it must be Wei Lao'er and his daughter-in-law pretending to be crazy and stupid, seeing that we held her down and thought that we were going to pull her out to criticize, so we had to pretend to recover. Zhang Guozhong kept comforting himself, but deep down, he could never recreate the deep doubt about "Maoshan Tuzhi".
Zhang Guozhong's hometown remedies for the treatment of neuropathy soon spread in schools, it is said that a few leaves dipped in vinegar and pressed on the door of the brain, and a few families who do have mental illness have tried it, but it didn't work at all. As everyone knows, the real neuropathy, where does this thing work?
In Zhang Guozhong's view, the precious opportunity to verify the falsity of "Maoshan Tuzhi" has been wasted, and it has to be found again. But where to find it? At that time, although there were many traitors and traitors who committed suicide in fear of crime, there was no similar phenomenon in the family, and when they were at a loss, Zhang Guozhong's grandfather came again.
"How? Does it work? "Zhang Guozhong's grandfather used to be a militia in the countryside, and strange things abound in the countryside, so since Zhang Guozhong's grandfather saw Zhang Guozhong pondering this "Maoshan Atlas" every day, he always wanted to tell his grandson that it was actually quite effective.
After confirming that the neighbor's door was indeed locked, Zhang Guozhong lowered his voice. "Grandpa, do you think this thing is real or fake?" "I don't dare to say whether it's true or not, but if something happens in the countryside, it's all looking for Mr. to see, and the doctor can't see it well, and Mr. can do it when he comes." "I think it's just a coincidence, this thing must be fake." "If you don't believe it, go to the countryside, and it's much easier to find this kind of thing than in the city."
With dry food, Zhang Guozhong walked to the suburbs.
Li Village, located near the small station, was a more authentic rural area around Tianjin at that time, and the urban-rural junction on the edge of the city is different, here is preserved very authentic rural customs and living traditions, most of the villagers are surnamed Li, how much are also a little pro, although it is not far from the city, but the traffic can be said to be very blocked, there is no decent road to pass through, although the production team has been established, but the storm does not seem to have set off too much waves here, except for the first two years of fighting a rich peasant with a foreign surname, In the past two years, except for the thieves who have stolen sorghum stalks, there have been very few large-scale criticisms, and although most of the villagers are members, there has been no essential change in their concepts before liberation.
Zhang Guozhong showed the letter of introduction of the Revolutionary Committee to Captain Li of the production brigade and explained his intentions, Captain Li looked at Zhang Guozhong with a smile, "Good boy, young and young, the road is not small, let me tell you, there is a person in the village now, carried to the hospital, the doctor said that it was hysteria, let him go home and wait for death, his daughter is good, said who can take her father well, and followed him, no less than a dozen gentlemen from near and far have seen it, and they all said no, if you can do it, look at your young man's goodness, then the big yellow flower girl can take it away..."
Zhang Guozhong couldn't cry or laugh when he said this, this Captain Li simply regarded Zhang Guozhong as a god sent by the city to dance, and he was an understatement, speaking of the yellow flower girl, her eyebrows were flying, which is this?
However, in the conversation with Captain Li, Zhang Guozhong heard the new term "bumper" for the first time, it turns out that this disease is called "hysteria" in medicine, and can only be classified as mental illness, there is no other explanation, and there is no effective treatment, and in the countryside, this phenomenon is called "bumper", according to the understanding of the common people, it is a ghost, just find a toss of the big god.
The enthusiasm of rural people is really beyond Zhang Guozhong's expectations, Captain Li's family made a pot of potato stewed chicken like the New Year, and fried a plate of chili eggs, Chinese cabbage stewed vermicelli, Zhang Guozhong was embarrassed to eat, for his boring article, the harm people used the New Year's materials in advance. As soon as he heard that it was someone from the city, Captain Li's eldest son also brought two bottles of liquor, although Zhang Guozhong repeatedly emphasized that he would not drink, he was still poured two cups, Zhang Guozhong, who had never drunk alcohol, suddenly fell on the bed, and when he woke up, there was a big girl standing next to the bed.
