Chapter 6 River Embankment
In fact, Zhang Guozhong went to the small station, there is still a certain selfishness, in the * period, eating is people's eternal pursuit, I don't know why, why people in that era are so able to eat, especially the labor force working in the countryside, whether it is to do a happy event and eat a banquet, or to eat stick noodles and dumplings on the ground at noon, there is never a time to pat my stomach from the bottom and say "I am full". Eat as much as you want, and those who come will never be full.
A year ago, Captain Li's potato stewed chicken and chili scrambled eggs, in Zhang Guozhong's view, it was like yesterday, in Zhang Guozhong's impression, Xiaozhan is a rich place, full of fertile fields, chickens and ducks are flocks, meat dare not say, but at least you can eat eggs every day, as well as the fragrant rice, Tianjin Xiaozhan rice is famous in the country, in the old society, it is a tribute rice for the emperor to eat.
However, when Zhang Guozhong really set foot in Li Village again as an educated youth, not as a god sent by the city, his heart was completely broken.
There are very few crops that actually grow rice here, and as far as the eye can see, there are all endless corn cobs and sorghum, so people don't bother to steal. In addition to eating a few bites of long-lost meat at the banquet of "Welcoming Intellectual Youth to Li Village" held by Captain Li's family, the next time he eats meat, in Zhang Guozhong's memory, it will be the New Year next year.
But when it comes to banquets, it is another thing that gives Zhang Guozhong a headache for a lifetime.
Captain Li praised Zhang Guozhong in front of the educated youth and villagers of the whole village, saying that Zhang Guozhong helped the village to exorcise evil spirits and ghosts regardless of his own danger, and the Tao is very high, Li Daming's bumper has been a lot better after Zhang Guozhong's spell, at least there are more things to eat than before, and the number of seizures per day seems to be less than before, what Zhang Guozhong is young but more capable than Xu Banxian in the neighboring village, this spirit is worth learning from the majority of members such as donkey lips are not right horses' mouths.
The proletarian fighters led the villagers to subdue the demons, and it is estimated that the socialist camps all over the world are counted, and Li Village has it, and the educated youth below are laughing, but Captain Li is still serious and stern, and he talks endlessly, at that time Zhang Guozhong really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it and commit suicide, but fortunately, the villagers were still on his side, and from time to time they cast respectful glances at Zhang Guozhong, who was blushing like a monkey's ass, for these villagers who basically only knew the number of Chinese below four, the landlord of the year was the person sent by the city to fight down, Now the city sent someone to hunt demons in the village, which doesn't seem to be an exaggeration.
"Wait, everyone misunderstood, I am a child of the working class, a staunch Marxist, there are no ghosts and gods in this world at all, I just tried my best to use some home remedies to treat Comrade Li Daming's schizophrenia,..." Zhang Guozhong tried his best to explain, in fact, Zhang Guozhong was basically desperate to change the understanding between Captain Li and the villagers, and he just said these words to those educated youths below.
After that, Zhang Guozhong was arranged to live at Captain Li's house, because Captain Li felt that there was such a half-immortal at home, and he slept soundly in the middle of the night. Zhang Guozhong didn't bother to explain to him, the biggest knot in Zhang Guozhong's head now is the bumper on Li Daming's body.
After Zhang Guozhong's inquiry, it has not been two months since he pasted a talisman on Li Daming last time, Li Daming's collision has indeed improved, not only can he eat two dumplings a day, but also from time to time he is sober, urging his daughter to go out and ask his husband to see him, which is impossible for Zhang Guozhong to hear, because at that time Zhang Guozhong simply didn't know anything about drawing symbols, and completely according to the legend on the "Maoshan Atlas", he found a simple point to describe it, but then Zhang Guozhong studied it carefully, found that the talisman he drew to Li Daming at that time was not a ghost exorcism talisman at all, but a corpse suppression talisman, which was used to prevent the transformation of the corpse of a person who had just died.
Zhang Guozhong carefully recalled every scene and every sentence at that time, and suddenly remembered that Li Daming dug up the coffin when he was digging the embankment, so the coffin must be by the river, the embankment... Riverbank...
Zhang Guozhong suddenly realized that he was in the house of Village Chief Li on the runway he moved, and shouted: I know! I know! It's a river embankment!!
Captain Li was taken aback by Zhang Guozhong's sudden excitement, and hurriedly asked what was going on, but Zhang Guozhong shouted "river embankment" vigorously, and then Aunt Li poured a glass of water for Zhang Guozhong, smoking the "comprehensive" brand cigarettes that Captain Li forcibly stuffed himself (comprehensive brand cigarettes, the cheapest cigarettes in the local area at that time. Its packaging is to use the wrapping paper after other cigarettes are smoked, and the packaging is reversed, exposing the white back to the outside, and then stamping the word "comprehensive" with a stamp, but at that time, the countryside smoked dry tobacco or rolled it with horse dung paper, and the cigarettes rolled out by the machine were known as "two-headed Qi" at that time, which was a symbol of high-end, and it was a very noble thing to smoke "two-headed Qi" in the countryside), and excitedly told Captain Li his thoughts. This is Zhang Guozhong's first time smoking, and he only feels spicy and bitter, but at this time, Zhang Guozhong doesn't care anymore.
The next morning, Captain Li gathered more than a dozen strong laborers, and took Zhang Guozhong to the embankment dug by Li Daming that year, the embankment at this time has been repaired, and the side of the embankment is the playground river.
Several villagers came to a small mound and pointed to the open space in front of the mound and told Zhang Guozhong that this was the place where Li Daming dug up the coffin.
Zhang Guozhong stood on the river embankment, looking at the surrounding environment, "This is it!" Definitely yes! Zhang Guozhong muttered.
There are two rows of protruding embankments along the river, but there is a stream that flows into the playground river from south to north, and there is a row of willow trees on the south side of the stream, which encloses the stream and the playground river in the shape of a bow and arrow.
"This used to be a graveyard?"
"Yes, but after the liberation, the dead in the village were buried in the south, and basically they were not buried here."
"Li Daming dug up the coffin, what is in it, have you seen it?"
"No, everyone thinks that thing is evil, and a few days after Li Daming's accident, he burned the coffin." Village Chief Li's eyes lit up, and he was full of trust in Zhang Guozhong.
"There's no one in that coffin!" Zhang Guozhong gritted his teeth and said.
"What? No one? How could there be no one in the coffin, could it be that the landlord's livestock were also buried in coffins? ”
