Chapter 6 Embankments

In fact, Zhang Guozhong still had some selfish motives when he went to the small station. During the * period, eating was people's eternal pursuit. I don't know why people in that era were so good at eating, especially the labor force working in the fields in the countryside, whether it was for weddings or weddings.

Whether it's a banquet, or eating stick noodle cakes on the field at noon, there is never a time when I pat my belly and say "I'm full" from the bottom of my heart. I eat as much as I want, and I won't refuse anyone who comes, and I will never be full.

A year ago, Captain Li's potato stewed chicken and pepper scrambled eggs were as good as yesterday to Zhang Guozhong. In Zhang Guozhong's impression, the small station was a prosperous place, with fertile fields everywhere, chickens and ducks in groups, and meat.

I dare say, but at least you can eat eggs every day, as well as the fragrant rice. Tianjin Xiaozhan rice is famous throughout the country. In the old society, it was a tribute rice for the emperor.

However, when Zhang Guozhong set foot in Licun again as an educated youth instead of a sage sent by the city, his heart was completely broken.

There is very little actual rice-growing land here. As far as the eye can see, it is all corn cobs and sorghum, which makes people too lazy to steal. Except at the banquet "Welcoming educated youth to Li Village" hosted by Captain Li's family, Zhang Guozhong

In addition to eating a few bites of meat that I hadn't seen for a long time, the next time I eat meat, in Zhang Guozhong's memory, it will be the next year's New Year.

But when it comes to banquets, it's another thing that will give Zhang Guozhong a lifetime headache.

Captain Li praised Zhang Guozhong in front of the entire village's educated youth and villagers, saying that Zhang Guozhong helped the village exorcise evil spirits and suppressed ghosts regardless of his own danger, and that he was a very good man. Li Daming's bumper had improved a lot after Zhang Guozhong cast a spell.

At least he eats more than before, and the number of attacks every day seems to be less than before. Why is Zhang Guozhong more capable than Xu Banxian from the neighboring village at a young age? This kind of spirit is worth learning by the majority of commune members. Such nonsense.

The proletarian warriors led the villagers to subjugate demons. It is estimated that Li Village is the only one in the world's socialist camps. The educated youth below laughed so hard that they laughed, but Captain Li still spoke sternly and kept talking.

At that time, Zhang Guozhong really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into and commit suicide, but fortunately, the villagers still stood by him, and from time to time looked at Zhang Guozhong, who was blushing like a monkey's butt, with respect. He basically only knew four people about these companies.

For the following Chinese villagers, the landlords back then were defeated by people sent by the city. Now it seems that it is not too much to send someone from the city to catch monsters in the village.

"Wait, everyone has misunderstood. I am a son of the working class and a staunch Marxist. There are no ghosts and gods in this world. I just try my best to treat Comrade Li Daming's schizophrenia with some folk remedies..." Zhang Guozhong

He tried his best to explain, but in fact, Zhang Guozhong was basically desperate to change the understanding between Captain Li and the villagers. His words were only meant for the educated youth below.

After that, Zhang Guozhong was arranged to live at Captain Li's house, because Captain Li felt that having such a semi-immortal at home would make him sleep soundly in the middle of the night. Zhang Guozhong didn't bother to explain to him. The biggest problem in Zhang Guozhong's head now was that Li

The hitman on Daming.

After Zhang Guozhong inquired, it was found that within two months since he last put a talisman on Li Daming, Li Daming's behavior had indeed improved. Not only could he eat two cakes a day, but he was also conscious from time to time, urging his daughter to go out to invite him.

It was impossible for Zhang Guozhong to see a doctor for himself, because Zhang Guozhong knew nothing about painting symbols at that time. He simply followed the illustrations in "Maoshan Illustrated Records" and found a simpler description. However,

Later, after Zhang Guozhong studied carefully, he discovered that the talisman he drew for Li Daming at that time was not a ghost-repelling talisman at all, but a corpse-suppressing talisman, which was used to prevent the corpse of a person who had just died from turning into a corpse. According to the book, Li Daming

His symptoms should have gotten worse, why did he suddenly get better?

Zhang Guozhong carefully recalled every scene and every sentence at that time, and suddenly remembered that Li Daming dug out the coffin when he was digging the river embankment. The coffin must be by the river, the river embankment... the river embankment...

Zhang Guozhong suddenly realized that he moved to Village Chief Li's house and shouted: I know! I know! It's a river embankment!!

Captain Li was startled by Zhang Guozhong's sudden excitement and hurriedly asked what was going on, but Zhang Guozhong kept shouting "River Bank". Then Aunt Li poured a glass of water for Zhang Guozhong and took the "synthetic drug" that Captain Li forced into her.

"Brand cigarettes (Comprehensive brand cigarettes) were the cheapest cigarettes in the area at that time. They were packaged with the wrapping paper of other cigarettes after smoking. The packaging was reversed, with the white back exposed, and then stamped."

The word "comprehensive" is used, but at that time in rural areas, dry cigarettes were smoked or rolled with horse dung paper. The cigarettes rolled by machines were called "two ends together" and were a symbol of high-end. In rural areas, it was very important to be able to smoke "two ends together"

Noble thing), he excitedly expressed his thoughts to Captain Li. This was Zhang Guozhong's first time smoking, and he only felt it was spicy and bitter, but at this time, Zhang Guozhong no longer cared.

The next morning, Captain Li summoned a dozen strong laborers and took Zhang Guozhong to the river embankment that Li Daming had dug. At this time, the embankment had been repaired. On the other side of the embankment was the playground river.

The river water has decreased a lot in recent years, and the river embankments are just a decoration.

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 out the coffin.

Zhang Guozhong stood on the river embankment, looking at the surrounding environment, "This is it! It must be right!" Zhang Guozhong murmured.

I saw two rows of raised embankments along the river, but there happened to be a small stream flowing into the playground river from south to north in this area. There was a row of willow trees on the south side of the stream, which surrounded the creek and the playground river into what looked like a circle.

Bow and arrow shape.

"This used to be a cemetery?"

"Yes, but after liberation, all dead people in the village were buried southward, so they basically no longer bury them here."

"Have you seen what's in the coffin dug out by Li Daming?"

"No, everyone thought that thing was evil. A few days after Li Daming's accident, he burned the coffin." Village Chief Li's eyes shone, full of trust in Zhang Guozhong.

"There is no one in the coffin at all!" Zhang Guozhong said through gritted teeth.
