In December 1967, an unprecedented cold wave swept across this city, which has always been regarded as the gateway to the emperor. The land of China was experiencing an unprecedented catastrophe. The storm of war reached its peak this year, and even affected Hong Kong. It has begun to take shape.

The trend of traveling to the mountains and countryside has made people everywhere panic. Compared with rural areas, life in cities is still quite superior. Every month, food and oil are somewhat guaranteed. Although they are not full, they are much better than the sweet potato noodles in the countryside. They can survive the famine (

From 1959 to 1961, the shadow of the Great Depression (also known as the "Famine" among the people) that spread across the country was deeply imprinted on people's minds.

As the secretary of the school's revolutionary committee, Zhang Guozhong has been looking sad recently because the revolutionary committee gave him a very unreliable task, which is to write an article criticizing feudal superstition.

Zhang Guozhong is a technical secondary school teacher. He used to go to this school. Later, because of his good grades, he stayed in school to become a teacher. Don’t underestimate technical secondary schools. In those days, it was much more difficult to get into a technical secondary school than to get into Tsinghua University now.

Those who did not go to technical secondary school went to high school. This was the case until the middle period of reform and opening up. The graduates of technical secondary schools at that time were definitely considered to be genuine intellectuals.

For Zhang Guozhong, who had nearly perfect scores in Chinese when he graduated, a critical article was simply written at random. From the principal secretary to the famous World War II general, as long as Zhang Guozhong writes it, he will definitely become an incurable scum. But for Zhang Guozhong,

The late Qing Dynasty edition of "Maoshan Illustrated Chronicles" copied from the school party committee secretary's house in front of me is really impossible to write.

What was written in the book were all methods on how to subjugate demons and catch ghosts, as well as some diagrams similar to martial arts, some plant artifacts that I had never heard of, and some inexplicable things, as well as these things are extremely weird.

What makes Zhang Guozhong even more confused is the method of use. It describes how to solve some symptoms of human body that appear to be sick, but the methods are very bizarre, such as using soil under the eaves, drinking sesame oil soaked with ancient copper coins, etc., which are completely irrelevant.

.

Writing critical articles must be well-founded, which is also the requirement of the Revolutionary Committee. If you say something is bad, you must explain the causes and consequences, where it is bad, why it is bad, what harm it has brought to the masses, and what kind

Things like that are not bad. If it were to criticize mythical legends such as "Liao Zhai", it would be easier to write, but the book in front of me seems to have no harm to people. At most, it can be said that what is written in this book is fake and deceptive.

, but deception and poisoning are completely different concepts. Writing it as deception will definitely not make a difference. The only request of the Revolutionary Committee is to describe this kind of thing as a big cancer that has poisoned the Chinese nation for five thousand years, but in Zhang Guozhong’s view, this

This theory is impossible to talk about at all. There is no mention in the book of using living people to sacrifice or kill people and set fires. At most, people wash the soil under the eaves with water and drink it. Could it be that this has harmed the Chinese nation for five thousand years? When I think about it,

This left Zhang Guozhong at a loss.

Two weeks have passed, and Zhang Guozhong has been looking through this "Maoshan Illustrated Chronicles", hoping to find some flaws in it. However, the content in the book seems to be irrelevant, but in actual reading, it is perfectly connected. At this time, Zhang Guozhong

The grandfather came down from the attic tremblingly, "My child, everything written in the book is true. If you don't believe it, just find someone to try." "You proletarian traitor, I have nothing to do with you! Don't

Interfering with my revolutionary work!"

Ever since his grandfather was labeled a traitor, Zhang Guozhong's family has been no different from the ancient ministers whose homes were ransacked. First, his father was criticized in the factory and then expelled, then he was blocked from joining the league, and the windows of his home were smashed by outsiders. Finally,

It was with tears in the eyes that the whole family signed a document with his grandfather to sever ties and set a clear boundary, and finally managed to settle the matter. From then on, Zhang Guozhong's grandfather could only live alone in an attic with drafts on all sides. Although the family felt distressed, there was nothing they could do.

The Zhang family lived with several neighbors in a wooden western-style building on a leased land in Italy. Their every move was watched by the neighbors. Except for secretly stuffing a cotton mattress for their grandfather in the middle of the night, anyone who made even the slightest intimate move during the day would face being raped.

Danger reported by neighbors.

Grandpa smiled and limped downstairs while holding on to the wall. However, his words gave Zhang Guozhong a big wake-up call, "Yes, I will find someone who has the same symptoms as described in the book and use the symptoms described in the book."

Try this method, if it doesn't work, then this set of things will be self-defeating!" To be honest, at this time, Zhang Guozhong still didn't believe the unbelievable contents in the book at all.

However, the symptoms described in the book were really hard to find. With the introduction letter from the Revolutionary Committee, Zhang Guozhong visited hundreds of households in a week and found no similar symptoms. Just when Zhang Guozhong was about to give up this kind of search for a needle in a haystack.

While searching like this and finding another way, a piece of news reached Zhang Guozhong's ears.

That morning, Xiao Liu from the Revolutionary Committee went to Zhang Guozhong's house and told Zhang Guozhong that Wei Laoer, the school party secretary, was dead (anyone who was criticized would have his honorific title removed and given a nickname. When criticizing Lin Piao and Confucius,

Even Master Kong was given the nickname Kong Laoer, not to mention this unknown and unknown secretary). He committed suicide out of fear of crime. His wife was crazy, but she was very sane, but she talked nonsense from time to time.

The words were all about Wei Lao Er's young life. The Revolutionary Committee thought that his wife wanted to retract Wei Lao Er's confession, and asked Zhang Guozhong to interrogate Wei Lao Er and his wife, and then write a statement of criticism.

Zhang Guozhong was moved by the news, because the symptoms of Wei Lao's second daughter-in-law seemed to be very consistent with some symptoms described in "Maoshan Illustrated Records", "As long as I try the method in the book and it doesn't work, then the argument will be

Got it." After thinking about it, Zhang Guozhong kicked the vinegar bottle at home into his bag, put on a pen and paper and the grapefruit leaves he had found in advance, and set off with Xiao Liu.

When he arrived at Mr. Wei's house, Zhang Guozhong couldn't help but feel sad. To be honest, Secretary Wei was very kind and knowledgeable during his lifetime. He was capable of playing piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. For a long time, Zhang Guozhong once admired Secretary Wei, but at this time, Wei

The secretary's house is no different from a dilapidated temple that has not had any incense for decades. It is a mess everywhere after being smashed, smashed, and looted. Only Secretary Wei's wife is lying on the bed alone, drooling and talking nonsense.

Beside, stood several young students and teachers with serious faces.

Zhang Guozhong sat down on the ground after finding Zhang Po newspaper, carefully observed Secretary Wei's wife, and listened carefully to every word he said.

"How could I be a traitor? I joined the party at the age of 38. When Tianjin was liberated, I was the captain of the school picket team. I also arrested spies and made meritorious deeds. It is all on my file. What you are saying is all false accusations!"

While speaking, Secretary Wei's wife's eyes were dull but her tone was intense, and the whole room was filled with a strange atmosphere.

"Do you think he is really mentally ill, or is he pretending to be ill and trying to excuse Wei Laoer? The record of catching secret agents he mentioned is indeed true. It's really strange. Wei Laoer never mentioned this before his death.
