Although it has been several months since that incident, I still couldn't help being surprised when I saw this badge. Involuntarily, I felt wary of the polite-looking middle-aged man in front of me.
The village chief introduced me that this was Tian Deping from Tianjia Village, our neighboring village, and the commune director of their village. I became even more vigilant. You must know that in those years, although the countryside had a commune system, the other name of the commune was called "Revolutionary Committee"! The village chief brought the director of the revolutionary committee of a neighboring village to my home. Was he going to report me? Do you think the rabbit won't eat the grass beside the nest and you are embarrassed to do it yourself, so you let people from the neighboring village do it?
I couldn't help but take a step back slightly. I put my hands behind my back and made a secret decision. I planned to send my troops to protect myself if the situation went wrong. The middle-aged man in front of me, although all rural people are strong, was already old after all. , if I really want to fight with brute strength, he will definitely not be my opponent. If this guy is really here to capture me, I won’t let you capture him at all, and you may not be able to return to the village today!
So I asked, hello, Director Tian, why are you so excited to come to this village today? Are you not going to make a revolution? My words were somewhat sarcastic, and of course I didn’t know whether the farmer in front of me could understand them.
He smiled and said, "Little Master Situ, I have heard of your name in our village. You help the people. You are a good person. This time your village is holding a New Year's family dinner and invited me to attend, but I didn't have time to catch up." I just arrived for lunch at this time, and I was wondering if I could get to know you through the village chief. I said disapprovingly, I don’t have much to know about me. As the saying goes, good things don’t go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. I didn’t expect that my little trick of pretending to be mysterious was really hard to hide. It caught your attention, Director Tian, you guys. The people who led the masses to make revolution, how do they want to punish me now?
Probably because he heard something was wrong with my tone, Director Tian looked at the village chief with a slightly embarrassed look. The village chief quickly explained to me, "Oh, little brother, where did you think you were going? This Tian Deping and I are related by marriage, and his wife She's my cousin, it's not what you think. Our village respects you and your master for helping others, so why are you being blamed for it?
I glanced at the village chief and Director Tian with suspicious eyes, and I began to feel a little confused. If I was here to arrest someone, why would I need to bring more helpers? And if I don’t arrest them early, I won’t arrest them later. I just took advantage of this New Year’s family dinner to catch him. Isn’t this an intention to embarrass the head of our village? Director Tian quickly said to me, "Yes, yes, yes, Master Situ, please don't misunderstand me. Although I am the director of the commune, I am not the one taking the lead. There is also the president above. This president, then They are not from our village!
Under the rural commune system, the level of the president is much higher than that of the village chief. He is often appointed by the local commune from within. To put it simply, it means sending someone to the village to serve as an official. Tian Deping went on to say, before coming here, I also knew everything about you. Not to mention the good things you did in my village, I also heard a little bit about why you hid in the countryside before. But don’t worry, we in the countryside Unlike in the city, where people are arrested at every turn, we just need to do a good job in production in the village.
I looked at the leader badge on his chest and still didn't believe it. He probably guessed it by looking at me, so he said, there is really nothing we can do about this badge. It is required by the commune, and some propaganda personnel have recently come, so everyone with administrative levels in the village must respond to the state. This small town It's just something, just take it as a statement.
After speaking, he reached out and fiddled with the badge with his fingers, smiling awkwardly. Maybe he fully expected that today’s meeting would be a scene of mutual resentment and sympathy, but after my sarcastic remarks, he suddenly didn’t know what to say next.
At the moment, I saw that he was indeed not hostile, and the village chief also vouched for it. Although I was not familiar with the village chief, the fact that the whole village believed in him showed that this person was still very capable. So I asked, are you here today just to get to know me? Tian Deping scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, understanding is the most important thing, but I still have an unspeakable request. I also hope that little master Situ can help me and give me some guidance.
Your sister, helping you is the most important thing, right? Why take such a long detour?
I secretly thought that of course I would never say such offending words, but I guess I couldn't help but roll my eyes silently. So I asked him, then you might as well speak up and see what I can do to help you. If it's within my ability, it's all my job. And my master is also in the village right now. If I can't handle it, , and my master.
My words actually have two meanings. First, I want him not to worry. As long as my master is here, basically nothing can be solved. The second is to tell him that my master is here too, so don’t try to bully me and make you miserable.
Tian Deping clapped his hands and said, great, this way, my girl will be saved!
When one person says that another person is "saveable," it must mean that the other person's condition has gotten so bad that he is close to being hopeless. If this is the case, it is not as simple as pointing a finger. So I said to Tian Deping, what happened to your girl, please tell me as carefully as possible. After saying that, I pulled a small bamboo stool from the door and sat down on it.
Tian Deping said that his family was currently experiencing some strange things, but because he was the director of the commune, he did not dare to spread the matter easily in Tianjia Village, so he came to the village to find me. He has two children at home, both daughters. It was the eldest daughter who encountered the problem this time.
The eldest daughter's name is Tian Xiaofang. She is about the same age as me. She had been living in the city. After the chaos broke out in the city, she was injured and stayed in the hospital for a while. Tian Deping and his wife took the child back to the countryside to take shelter temporarily. Head, the situation was very similar to when I hid in the countryside. However, Tian Xiaofang was not arrested, but accidentally injured by the workers' "army" in the city. He broke a leg. It was not a serious problem after it was reattached, but The couple felt sorry for their daughter and there was no peace in the city, so they took her directly from the hospital back to the village. But when Tian Xiaofang's injuries gradually improved and she was able to walk slowly, she began to become a little abnormal.
Tian Deping said that there was a big locust tree in their yard. One day he went to work in the fields. When he came back, he saw his daughter, disheveled, roaring and beating the big locust tree with a bamboo stick, while beating back. He was cursing nonsense in his mouth, but he couldn't understand a word of the curse. He was very surprised at the time, so he asked his wife, who was standing next to him, what happened to his daughter and how it became like this. His wife had already burst into tears and said she didn’t know. She had to eat it when she got up in the morning. She was still a good person at breakfast, but as soon as she turned around to wash the dishes, she became like this. No matter what she asked, her daughter didn't answer. She wanted to go forward, grab her daughter, and take it from her hand. He was holding a bamboo stick, but his daughter pushed him to the ground. He was worried and didn't know what to do, so he could only stand there and cry.
Tian Deping said that at that time, he even scolded his wife, saying why he didn't come to the field to inform him about such a thing. His wife said that she was also panicked and didn't expect it. So Tian Deping dropped the farm tools in his hands and tried to catch his daughter, but after trying many times, his daughter broke free.
Tian Deping said to me with a wry smile, she is already in her twenties and is in her prime. Although she is a daughter, she is still a child from our rural area. How can I, a person over fifty, be so stubborn as her? Woolen cloth? Every time I tried to grab my daughter's hand, she would either kick me or bite me, which scared me so much that I had to let go. Instead of chasing me, she continued to beat the locust tree.
While listening to Tian Deping telling these stories, I analyzed the situation in my mind. From what we know so far, if a person's temperament changes drastically in the blink of an eye, he or she is suddenly insane, which is a disease that is beyond my control, or he is possessed by a ghost with a bad temper. Most of the ghosts who can appear in this state are very resentful, and I may not be able to deal with them by myself, or they are fascinated by other things and make these actions without realizing it.
The so-called being fascinated by other things, then the situation is very complicated. In the mountains, especially in the countryside, because the natural environment is almost not destroyed, it gives many lives the opportunity to survive and reproduce. Therefore, after some wild beasts in the mountains have survived for a long time, or in a certain environment, such as a place with good feng shui and easy gathering of spiritual energy, they may become different from the same kind of wild beasts. They have made a leap and become More advanced than similar products.
This is what is called a monster.
This chance is very small, especially in humid and rainy places like the south. Usually what the old people call "spirits" are actually divided into two types: "goblins" and "monsters". Fairies usually refer to non-spiritual beings, such as flowers, plants and trees. Monsters are spiritual, like birds and beasts. In the northern part of China, some Taoist priests gradually integrated local religions on the way to practice Taoism, and then gave birth to a sect that existed within the Taoist system, but strictly speaking was very different. They merged with the former Northeastern region. Manchurian shamanism worships various animals, among which five animals including fox, snake, hedgehog, rat and weasel are the main ones, which are called the "Five Immortals".
The Immortal Family believes that these "immortals" may have a confusing effect on people. Could it be that Tian Deping's daughter bumped into the Immortal Family?
