The Revolution of 1971 brought countless otakus to China. At that time, if you dared to say a bad word about the revolution, even your own brothers would report you, and then call the Red Guards to arrest you and parade you through the streets. As long as your family had any connection with the landlords, you would be arrested and paraded through the streets. Everyone was in danger at the time. Liu Boqing was lucky because he left the city when the revolution just started. Although there were many Red Guards in the countryside, Hongye Village was too remote and was not affected by the revolution.
After Liu Boqing returned, his father found him a job as a primary school teacher. My master brought back Zhuge Kongming's handwritten notes. Originally, my master did not think much about it, nor did he pay attention to the madness of these people. On the fifth day after returning, Liu Boqing had already memorized Zhuge Kongming's handwritten notes. His thoughts were very simple at the time. He thought that this thing belonged to the country and should be donated to the museum.
It must be said that people in those times were indeed much simpler than we are now. However, Liu Boqing did not expect to be beaten out when he arrived at the museum. Zhuge Liang's letters were almost burned by those people. However, Liu Boqing still fought hard to get them back. What happened next was beyond Liu Boqing's expectation.
That very night, countless Red Guards rushed into his house, because at that time Zhuge Liang was labeled as an ancient landlord (this is a true story). Now when Liu Boqing took out his notes, people immediately judged that he had connections with the ancient landlords. The Red Guards did not give Liu Boqing and his friends a chance to explain. They rushed into his house and smashed everything. Then they tied up Liu Boqing's parents and paraded them through the streets. At that time, Liu Boqing went to his neighbor's house to borrow salt and escaped this disaster. When Liu Boqing went out with the salt, he happened to see his parents being taken away by the Red Guards.
Liu Boqing wanted to rush forward to explain, but he suppressed this thought. Liu Boqing was very smart. With his intelligence, he knew that if he was also arrested at this time, there would be no hope at all. After the Red Guards arrested his parents, Liu Boqing hurried home, took Zhuge Liang's notes and money, and ran away. He didn't dare to stay at home anymore.
The next day, Liu Boqing's parents were paraded through the streets wearing prison uniforms and tall white hats. People on both sides took out rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves and started throwing them. Liu Boqing also stood in the crowd. Many of those throwing rotten vegetable leaves were his former neighbors, his parents' former students, and many more, even his parents' former friends. But everyone seemed to not recognize his parents. Liu Boqing left the street in despair.
Liu Boqing originally planned to stay with a relative temporarily, but after seeing the cold faces of the people on the street, he realized that if he went to look for his relative now, he would be walking into a trap. At that time, the relative might turn his back on him.
Liu Boqing had no choice but to flee to the countryside and hide. Not many people in the countryside knew him. However, on the tenth day after Liu Boqing fled to the countryside, it was reported that Liu Boqing's parents committed suicide in prison because they could not bear this kind of mental torture. At that time, Liu Boqing saw a few big words on the cultural wall of that village: Counter-revolutionary landlord family, Liu Jing, Wang Yuxiu committed suicide by taking poison out of fear of punishment...,
Liu Jing and Wang Yuxiu, aren't these the names of Liu Boqing's parents? Liu Boqing had no choice but to continue fleeing to a country far away from Chongqing, and then temporarily lived in a village in the country. At that time, he didn't know that his parents' death was the result of his practicing the things left by Zhuge Liang.
Liu Boqing's mentality was not surprisingly good, or it could be said that his character was just like that. Although his parents died, Liu Boqing did not hate anyone. He just felt that it was fate, destiny, and he did not blame others. At that time, the chaotic times had just ended, and the countryside was often haunted. Liu Boqing often helped others because he had his own abilities. He could also tell fortunes, and his fortune-telling was always accurate. Gradually, his reputation grew, but it also brought him trouble.
The village where Liu Boqing lived had a population of about a hundred people, most of whom were simple villagers. Although it was the era of the Cultural Revolution of 1918, and many people knew about Liu Boqing's affairs, no one reported him because Liu Boqing was very kind to them. If a family was sick and no one had to work in the fields, the young people from the city would always go to help the family plow the fields with a smile.
But nothing is absolute in this world. There was a man in that village, and everyone called him Wang Er. He was in his thirties, and he was not doing his job properly. He liked to steal things when he had nothing to do. He almost starved to death at home several times, and Liu Boqing would always come to his house with food to feed him. When he ate, he would call him a living god. Normally, this man would never be satisfied, and Wang Er was the same. At the beginning, when he almost starved to death at home, Liu Boqing would always appear to feed him, but later on, he did so less frequently. Wang Er actually developed a hatred for him, and felt that Liu Boqing would not even give him food, and that his heart was extremely vicious.
Later on, he even felt that it was Liu Boqing who fed him without asking for anything in return that made him lazy. This man had very extreme thoughts, and slowly, like a snowball, whenever he saw Liu Boqing passing by the girl's house next door, the girl would wink at Liu Boqing, but would walk away when he passed by, as if he was very dirty. Wang Er was finally overwhelmed by his own thoughts, and that night he sneaked to the nearest town and told the Red Guards that there were people in his village who were superstitious. Then, immediately, more than a dozen Red Guards followed Wang Er and rushed to Liu Boqing's house.
Wang Er felt that this was the most impressive moment in his life. He felt refreshed just thinking about having more than a dozen Red Guards following him. However, when Wang Er and his men rushed to Liu Boqing's house, they found that there was no one there. The house was very clean and tidy, and there was no sign of anyone living there. There was a letter on the table. Wang Er picked up the letter and read it. It was left by Liu Boqing.
"Isn't this how people are? I was nice to you, but you brought people to arrest me. Is this human nature? Wang Er, you taught me a good lesson. I think I won't make the same mistake again. Thank you, Liu Boqing.. Read*/.*"
