Chapter Twenty-Eight: Taking Advantage of the Trend is Sometimes Helpless (I)
Time flies, and tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve. This is the first Chinese New Year in the eighties. At the invitation of Brother Hai, Zhan Zhizhan wanted to go to his home and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together. The thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve is also the day formulated by Zhan Zhizhan to get rid of the "model of harming the people" and "darkness under the lamp", that is, the day when the evil ghost "loses his spirit". In order to maintain sufficient physical strength, throughout the day, Zhan Zhizhan basically slept except for eating. In the eyes of others, Zhan Zhizhan looked like he couldn't live. In fact, his mind was not idle for a moment.
After chatting with Qiao Eighteen for a long time, he was not only indignant about Deng Xiahe's unfortunate life, but also angry at the unscrupulous evil of the "frustrated yin spirit". I can't wait to rush to Songjiabao immediately to kill the "dejected yin spirit", eliminate harm to the people, and avenge Deng Xiahe. However, Zhan Zhizhan must not be reckless! After all, the shell of the "frustrated yin spirit" is still Deng Xiahe's, and the evil done by the "frustrated yin spirit" is all done by Deng Xiahe in the eyes of the world. Deng Xiahe's Yuan Shen has been gnawed by the "Lost Yin Spirit", and killed the evil ghost of the "Lost Yin Spirit", and Deng Xiahe, who has no Yuan Shen, has no reason to live.
After all, Deng Xiahe is the head of the police station in Songjiabao Commune, and his death will definitely cause an uproar. Moreover, no matter how clever the criminal investigators are, they will not believe that they killed the "frustrated Yin Spirit".
Zhan Zhizhan still had a question in his heart and was embarrassed to ask Qiao Eighteen, for fear that it would involve the leakage of the heavenly secret again, which would make Qiao Eighteen embarrassed. If you come back and make a face of bud rice ballast, you will die of stumbling! This thing is that the "frustrated yin spirit" acted against the sky, ruined the major event of the Ten Palaces of Yan Jun, and injured the ghost pawns of the Huolun City God Temple, isn't he afraid that the Emperor Xudu will send the god of war of the underworld to capture him, a scum who does not know the height of the sky, smash his soul, and be relegated to the nine secluded places, and suffer from endless suffering forever? The pain suffered by the soul being relegated to the Nine Shadows, the Yuan God of Zhan Zhizhan "Great Demon Mandrill" is well known, and he doesn't even dare to recall. Maybe the "depressed yin spirit" does not have the ability of a prophet, and he does not know that the Ten Palaces Yan Jun arranged for Deng Xiahe's longevity to be ninety-nine years old, and after his death, he will ascend to the Heavenly Dao to enjoy happiness. However, if you act against the sky, even if you don't know it, you can't be innocent! This "depressed yin spirit" is inescapable, and there is nowhere to hide!
Zhan Zhizhan still has a question that he is embarrassed to ask Qiao Eighteen, this question is a bit brain-opening. It was Deng Xiahe's Yuan Shen who was eaten by the "Dejected Yin Spirit" that Deng Xiahe was already dead. However, driven by the "frustrated yin spirit", even if Deng Xiahe, who is like a corpse, lives to the age of ninety-nine, can he still enter the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Realm? If you really go in, I'm afraid it will also be a "frustrated yin spirit" to enter. For the "depressed yin spirit", isn't it pie in the sky? "Frustrated Yin Spirit" went to a beauty like the Four Heavenly Kings Tianpao Ake girl, wouldn't the order of the Three Realms be chaotic? Who else in the world does good? With such no distinction between good and evil, where is there any heavenly way! If the way of heaven is really irreversible, I am afraid that the Emperor Xudu or the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth will have to exert the vast boundless mana, and I don't know what way to resurrect Deng Xiahe's primordial god, so that the real Deng Xiahe can ascend to heaven and go to the Four Heavenly Kings to enjoy happiness.
Zhan Zhizhan secretly hated in his heart: "If you don't do it, you can't die!" This 'frustrated yin spirit' has a lot of blood debts, and it can be regarded as the end of it! Lao Tzu walked the way for heaven and asked the 'depressed yin spirit' to repay the blood debt of the left and the right. Obediently boom, fried green onions in lard! Lao Tzu has to hurry up, don't let the 'depressed yin spirit' die in the hands of other ghosts, isn't it bad! At the end of the year, isn't it 'debt collection at the end of the year'? ”
Since ancient times, China has had a saying that "debt collection at the end of the year". At that time, the peasants rented the landlord's land, and at the end of the year, the landlord would go to the peasants to collect rent. Yang Bailao in the movie "The White-Haired Girl" died of Huang Shiren's debt collection at the end of the year. And when the year comes to an end, the heavy blood debt owed by the "desolate yin spirit" should also be repaid. Zhan Zhizhan also called his own approach "Nian Guan Asking for Life". In the quiet campus, the few students who stayed on campus have gone to their relatives and friends to celebrate the New Year, which seems even more deserted. It's just that the sparse sound of firecrackers came from outside the campus, which seemed to remind people: It's the New Year, have your family's New Year's goods been done?
Chinese thousands of years, the Chinese New Year has always been regarded as a major event. Before the New Year, we must make a lot of careful preparations, and we must buy a lot of things, such as eating, using, wearing, wearing, playing, offering, drying, fresh, raw, and cooked.
At that time, Butou was the same as the whole country, and the lives of the common people were not rich, and food and clothing were barely solved, so where did they have the money to buy so many things. But the Chinese New Year is different, after a year of hard work, people are in a happy mood, and it is a small luxury. No, the children are waiting to put on brand new clothes and eat a meatball-filled dumpling.
It is said to be a "New Year's goods", and it is also supplied by ticket. In order to enrich the table of the people's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, various tickets for the New Year are specially provided to the people: there are half a kilogram of peanut candy tickets per person, half a kilogram of pork tickets, various soy product tickets, various tobacco and alcohol tickets, etc. People took out meat tickets from the bottom of the box that they had not used for most of the year, went out, bought ten pounds and eight pounds of meat, and came back to make a hearty Chinese New Year's Eve meal, wrapping a meatball stuffed dumpling. The conditions are better, especially those who have "one right, two money, three stethoscopes, and four steering wheels", in the coal shed, frozen chickens, ducks, fish, and meat. Even so, in the shortage economy at that time, if you want to eat a slightly better Chinese New Year's Eve meal, there are still many requirements for people: good health, good patience, early riser, etc., you must get up early and be greedy. To put it bluntly, it is to ask people to get up early and patiently queue up to shop in addition to cleaning their homes.
"Lilac" called and said that her father had a very iron, one-size-fits-all buddy in the Butou Meat Factory, and asked the relationship to buy some relatively tight pork liver, pig head, pig belly, and pig intestines to come home, and her father wanted to personally go to the stove and invite Zhan Zhizhan to their house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. In particular, the invitation of "Black Rose" made Zhan Zhizhan quite excited. The mother of "Black Rose" is a doctor, and there are many people who give gifts, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will be much richer. However, Zhan Zhizhan has already promised Brother Hai, but he can't do something as unkind as forgetting his righteousness. Although Zhan Zhizhan politely declined the kind invitations of "Lilac" and "Black Rose", he was really moved in his heart. The two classmates haven't forgotten him, a person who is floating outside, which makes people feel warm in their hearts.
After the Chinese New Year, people have to spend a few dollars to buy a few firecrackers and even a few fireworks, so there must be a bit of a New Year's atmosphere. It's time to set off firecrackers, and that's the happiest day for the kids. At that time, there were still a lot of firecrackers, two millimeters in diameter, three centimeters long called "small whips", about one yuan for two or three hanging, ordinary people generally buy two or three yuan. A little thicker is called "medium whip", and the price is more expensive. No matter how big it is, it is called "Ma Leizi", which is as expensive as fireworks, and most people rarely buy it.
After eating dinner in the cafeteria, Zhan Zhizhan burped back to his bedroom. In the far away family area of the teaching staff, I don't know which teacher's house is in front of the door, there is a lantern pole standing high, and the red lantern adds a strong atmosphere of Chinese characteristics and festivals. In front of the door, several children in brand new clothes were setting off firecrackers. At that time, the firecrackers were reluctant to be hung up, and it was not enjoyable, so they were dismantled and scattered one by one. I saw a child who seemed to be relatively timid, holding a long incense stick, squatting down, stretching out his arms, and the incense head just touched the twist of the firecracker before it even lit it, so frightened that he turned his head and ran. Another little boy seemed to be very bold, he even dared to hold the firecracker in his hand, pinch the twist with his fingernails, light it and throw it out, the firecracker exploded in mid-air, the shredded paper fluttered like snowflakes, danced, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Zhan Zhizhan hurriedly walked to the bedroom, "Nian Guan Asking for Life" This kind of thing is not a trivial matter, I dare not say that it will shake the whole country, at least with the radius of the port, it will also spread for eight hundred miles. It was the first time for him to do this kind of "eliminating harm for the people", and Zhan Zhizhan was really a little nervous at this time. It must not be taken lightly, and it must be done with complete certainty. Zhan Zhizhan hurriedly returned to the dormitory, just to turn off the lights, lie on the bed, get rid of all distracting thoughts, turn over the plan to eradicate the evil ghosts and "depressed yin spirits" in his heart, and then repeat it several times.
The aroma of fried peanuts and melon seeds wafted in the wind. Zhan Zhizhan greedily sniffled into the air, and couldn't help but think of the scene of stealing peanuts in his hometown, when he was helping his mother fry peanuts at this time. Zhan Zhizhan sighed with regret and swallowed his saliva, almost regretting why he "eliminated harm for the people" and lost a good opportunity to return to his hometown and reunite with his father.
Suddenly, in the darkness of the night, a familiar figure walked into the door of the dormitory building. Zhan Zhizhan's heart moved, this figure was clearly Zhuang Jianhong, who hadn't come to stick to him for many days.
came to the door of the dormitory building, and there was a pair of Spring Festival couplets full of the atmosphere of the times on the door. Shanglian: "The start of the new Long March, the spring is bright and bright, the beginning of modernization is jubilant, and the golden drum is jubilant"; The next link: "Rich country Anbang people are happy and prosperous, change customs, send the old and welcome the new"; Horizontal criticism "inspires people to forge ahead".
The Chinese New Year always requires a festive auspicious figure, and there are many ways to express it. Sticking Spring Festival couplets is a form of expression. After the reform and opening up, the Spring Festival couplets also have new characteristics. The words and phrases of the past are nothing more than old sayings such as "the year is peaceful, the day is good, and the spring is every year", and a big "Fu" word pasted upside down on the door of the unit will reveal people's vision of a better future.
Zhan Zhizhan had no time to appreciate it, and his brain didn't have time to figure out the meaning of the couplet, so he hurried into the door. The "black mouse" poked out the black thin black head and said very mysteriously: "Classmate Zhan...... Just now, a beautiful girl is looking for you! ”
Zhan Zhizhan couldn't stop to say hello, turned his head and smiled at the "black mouse", and said, "Thank you, uncle!" ”
While speaking, Zhan Zhizhan had already run into the dormitory building, ran up the stairs, and rushed to the second floor. Zhan Zhizhan suddenly felt bad water gushing out of his heart, hurriedly raised his legs, lowered his feet lightly, and silently touched the corridor in the dark like a ghost, and the bird stood quietly behind Zhuang Jianhong in front of the bedroom door. Zhan Zhizhan held his breath, only to hear Zhuang Jianhong say to himself: "This little king and eight calves who should suffer a thousand knives, where did he go?" I don't have a home all day long, so I always shake somewhere? Why not in the dormitory! ”
