Tianzhu: The Record of Foreign Stories in the Republic of China

Chapter 11
"Cough." There was a promise from outside the door, only a sound of footsteps was heard, and a group of devil soldiers with live ammunition suddenly rushed in aggressively, holding guns, and surrounded Jiang Muxue in one fell swoop.

Jiang Muxue's expression changed, she looked at Motoji Ozaki and said, "Captain Ozaki, what do you mean?"

Ozaki Motoji stared at him, his two cold and sharp eyes were like two awls, aggressive, as if they wanted to nail him through, he sneered and said: "Jiang Muxue, stop pretending, in fact, you I have already investigated the details of the situation clearly. You are not from Luzhou, Sichuan. You are a military doctor under Liu Bocheng of the Eighth Route Army's Jinan Military Region. A year ago, in a battle with the Imperial Army, you were protecting several wounded. Transferred, you were separated from the Eighth Route Army, and after you broke through, you were alone in the rivers and lakes, wandering in all directions. Later, you found out that the Eighth Route Army had arrived in the Xiangjiang area of ​​Hunan, so you wanted to cross the Hunan-Hubei border to find your own troops, but because of the land and water The traffic was cut off by the imperial army, and you couldn't pass the customs, so you had to temporarily live in seclusion in Xiulin City. You practice medicine in the open, but you have been trying to get in touch with the Eight Routes in secret. Mr. Jiang, am I right?"

Jiang Muxue glanced at him, frowned, and said with a laugh: "Since you already know my identity, you still rest assured that I will treat your illness. This kind of courage makes Jiang admire."

Ozaki Motoji said: "It is also forced by the situation, so I have to trust you for once. But I am not completely defenseless. When you were treating me, there were military doctors present from the beginning to the end. If you made a slight mistake, they would give you a wink. A sniper lurking outside the window will shoot you like a hornet's nest."

Jiang Muxue cast a contemptuous look at the three colleagues, and said with a sneer, "I thought they really came here to learn Chinese medicine with an open mind."

Ozaki Motoji had just recovered from a serious injury, and his energy was low. He didn't want to spend more time talking with him, so he lowered his face and waved his hands: "Come on, take this eight-way prisoner and lock it up, and execute it publicly at the North Gate Wharf at noon tomorrow. Let you stubborn Chinese see what happens when you fight against the imperial army."

Fan Anping almost jumped up excitedly, and rushed to answer: "Yes." Pushing Jiang Muxue, "After a long time, you are still a badass, this time you are in the hands of the imperial army, you look good, go!"

Du Qi was always thinking about Jiang Muxue and his tiger bone plaster. He waited at home all day, but Xiao Zhou didn't come to inform him.On the second day, he couldn't bear it anymore, and went straight to the plaster shop, where only Xiao Zhou was guarding the shop.

Xiao Zhou told him that Mr. Jiang's tiger bone plaster had already been refined, and he had already treated Ozaki Genji's illness twice. He heard from Mr. Jiang that this little Japanese had almost recovered from his serious injury.

Du Qi asked, "Where is Brother Mu Xue now?"

Xiao Zhou said, "Mr. Jiang went to Ozaki Genji's again this morning."

Du Qiqi said: "So brother Mu Xue got the tiger bone? Who sent him the tiger bone? How did it come?"

Xiao Zhou asked three questions and kept shaking his head.

Du Qi couldn't help being curious, and walked across the yard to Jiang Muxue's room, hoping to find some clues to solve the mystery in his heart.But everything in the room was the same as before, not the slightest change from the last time he came, Jiang Muxue's tiger-like painting "Mountain and Forest Roaring at Night" was still hanging on the wall.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly found that one of the tiger's claws on the drawing had been torn off.

His heart moved: Could this be the "tiger bone" used by Jiang Muxue?
……

It is said that in a day, the period of time just after midnight and the first arrival of ugly time is the time when people are the most tired and least alert. It is at this time that Jiang Muxue spits out the first silver needle from her mouth, and opens the handcuffs and Shackled.Two Japanese guards were leaning against the cell door and dozing off. When he crept past, a guard seemed to have heard something, opened his sleepy eyes, and was about to open his mouth to shout. It entered the Dazhui acupoint on his neck, so the ghost soldier tilted his head, didn't even hum, and continued to dream of his Spring and Autumn Dream.

The prison where Jiang Muxue was held was temporarily rebuilt from a warehouse of the county government, not far from Ozaki Genji's residence. Jiang Muxue deftly avoided several groups of patrolling ghost soldiers, and easily entered his room.

"who?"

Although Motoji Ozaki has slept on the door panel for three days and three nights, and his whole body slept easily and deeply this night, he was born in the army and still maintained the vigilance that a soldier should have. Once he felt someone moving in front of the bed, he would immediately reach out He took out a pistol from under the pillow.Before the muzzle of the gun was raised, he felt a stabbing pain in the back of his hand, and somehow a silver needle was inserted into the Hegu acupoint, the tiger's mouth numb, and the short gun fell to the ground.

He quickly turned over and jumped off the bed, and a black shadow stood in front of him.Taking a closer look, he saw Shengxue in a long gown and piercing eyes. It was Jiang Muxue who was ordered to be locked up during the day.He was startled suddenly, no sleepiness at all, he took a step back sideways, and said in a trembling voice, "You, how did you get out? What do you want to do?"

Jiang Muxue took a step closer, and said sternly, "I am here to take your dog's life on behalf of thousands of Chinese people."

Ozaki Motoji knew something was wrong, turned around to get the saber hanging by the bed, his hands had just been raised above his head, both armpits felt numb at the same time, a silver needle was nailed to the left and right Jiquan points at the same time, and both arms suddenly lost Consciousness, unable to hold on to something, just frozen in mid-air, looks very funny.

Jiang Muxue didn't give him a chance to breathe, and spit out three silver needles from her mouth, and pierced them into the three big acupoints of Baihui on the top of his head, Yintang on the forehead, and Lianquan on the throat like lightning.

Ozaki Motoji seemed to be immobilized by someone, his whole body was shocked, and he froze there, unable to move any more.He couldn't help being terrified, staring at him with his mouth wide open in horror: "You, what magic did you use?"

Jiang Muxue said: "This is not magic, it is Chinese acupuncture. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, there are meridians all over the human body. 'Meridians' are meridians, just like paths, running up and down, connecting internal and external, and they are longitudinal in the meridian system. The main trunk of the body; "collaterals" are collaterals, which means network, and are the branches of meridians, criss-crossing and spreading all over the body. The meridians belong to the internal organs, and the external collaterals are in the limb joints, which circulate qi and blood, moisten and nourish the whole body, and form a whole body. It connects the internal and external systems up and down, and connects the human body into an organic whole. Acupuncture points are special 'points' on the meridians. Proper stimulation of these 'points' by external force can achieve the purpose of closing the acupoints and preventing blood flow in the body."

Ozaki Motoji said: "You mean the acupuncture points are like the valve switches in the blood vessels of the human body?"

Jiang Muxue said: "That's right, that's exactly what it means. I've closed the three 'valves' on the top of your head, forehead, and Adam's apple. When your blood flows through here, it will be blocked and cannot continue to flow. The valves' build up, the pressure builds up, there's no way to break through, and blood bursts out of your eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth."

Ozaki Motoji said: "You, you mean I will bleed to death from my seven orifices? Mr. Jiang, are you kidding me? Since you wanted to kill me, why did you bother to save me?"

Jiang Muxue walked up to him, staring at him with burning eyes, and said word by word: "I saved you because I am a doctor and you are a patient. I killed you because I am Chinese and you are the Japanese who invaded us." robber."

Ozaki Motoji had a little bit of luck at first, thinking that Jiang Muxue was just playing tricks and bluffing. He didn't believe Jiang Muxue's words until he felt his head swell, as if something was about to burst out of his face. True, in despair, holding his last breath, he suddenly let go of his voice and shouted: "Come on, come quickly..."

Before he uttered the second cry, he felt a sweetness in his throat, and a stream of blood shot out from his nostrils like an arrow, and then hot blood gushed out from his eyes, mouth, and ear holes.

His eyes were wide open, his face was distorted due to pain and horror, and he let out a few unwilling grunts from the depths of his throat. Suddenly his legs trembled, his eyes turned white, and he fell straight backwards.

At this moment, Jiang Muxue suddenly heard whistles and shouts from outside, opened the door and saw brightly lit lights, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers with rifles were rushing towards this side like a tide.Obviously, Ozaki Motoji's dying cries alarmed the Japanese army.

Jiang Muxue's complexion changed, and she hurried back to Ozaki's room, grabbed the pistol he had dropped on the ground, jumped out the door, gritted her teeth, and was about to rush out to fight to the death, when suddenly a small door next to her creaked and opened a small door. A man came out of the crack, holding a short gun in his hand, and whispered: "Brother Jiang, don't fight hard, follow me quickly, there is a back door here."

Jiang Muxue felt that the voice was very familiar, she took a closer look and said in surprise, "Brother Du, is it you?"

Du Qi smiled and said: "You're welcome, my own people, I am a special commissioner of the Hunan-Hubei Border Branch of the Communist Party of China."

Jiang Muxue said happily: "That's great." She jumped into the hut.

Du Qi turned around and closed the door, and the room was suddenly dark.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" gunshot in the room...

This is a true story that happened in the author's hometown Xiulin County (now renamed Xiulin City) during the Anti-Japanese War.By consulting the county annals, visiting old folks, and mastering relevant historical materials, the author tries to truly reproduce the beginning and end of this story and its ins and outs. None of the relevant information collected was mentioned.On the contrary, in the neighborhood of Xiulin City, speculation and rumors about the ending of this story are widely circulated. After collecting and summarizing, the author found that there are generally three endings of folk anecdotes and legends.

The first.After the underground party member Du Qi took over Jiang Muxue, he quietly sent him out of Xiulin City, and through the power of the organization, successfully helped him find his own team.This is of course the most idealistic statement.

The second type.Du Qi's true identity is actually a Kuomintang spy.Through secret investigations, he got hold of Jiang Muxue's identity and background, and was about to report to his superiors when the Japanese devils entered the city, and the National Government's rule in Xiulin City collapsed, and he was unable to take care of Jiang Muxue's affairs, so he had no choice but to inform the devils. Jiang Muxue's real identity was intended to kill Jiang Muxue by the hands of devils, but Jiang Muxue had great powers, not only escaped, but also killed the Japanese squadron leader Ozaki Genji.Although the Japanese army was alarmed afterwards and Jiang Muxue was besieged and killed by the Japanese army, Du Qi worried that Jiang Muxue might use another means to break out from the Japanese army's encirclement, and it would not be easy to deal with him at that time.So he had no choice but to show up and pretend to be a special commissioner of our party to deceive Jiang Muxue's trust. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he shot him coldly in the back.The last gunshot from the dark cabin came from this.

The third type.Jiang Muxue was originally a careful and vigilant person. After being brought into the hut by Du Qi, he found that the room was pitch black, and there was no "back door" as Du Qi mentioned. He immediately understood that there was a fraud in it. Without thinking too much, he shot Du Qi decisively.Then there was a "bang" gunshot in the house.

Besides, is there a fourth ending?
Just when the author was about to end this novel, the author's friend, Lao Zhang, who worked in the city museum, heard that Yue Yong was writing a novel about Fan Qidao, the landlord of Xiulin City before the founding of New China, so he came to visit him, and by the way, wrote a note for the author. He brought a letter found from Fan Qidao's home during the land reform, and gave it to Yue Yong as a reference.

Yue Yong took it and saw that the letter was written on a piece of note. The paper had already turned yellow, but because it was well preserved, the handwriting on it was still legible.

Doctor Fan:
If you do many unrighteous actions, you will be punished by God.Genji Ozaki’s head is buried in your yard—the location is secret, if you search and dig by yourself, it will be in vain—if you continue to push up medical fees and bully the poor, I will report you to the Japanese for killing Ozaki Genji's real murderer.Even if the Japanese invaders are driven away in the future, if you don't know how to restrain yourself, it will be easy for me to take your life.This is one.

Second, I have had contact with Fan Anping, the traitorous son of Ru, several times, and observed his complexion. His two cheekbones are red, like fingerprints. "Spiritual Pivot?"Five Colors Pian" said: If the two cheekbones are red and as big as a thumb, although the disease is small and heals, it will die suddenly.This is a sign of cardiac arrest, you still advise him to do more good deeds, the most important thing is to save his life.

The whole text is like this, there is no signature or time after the letter, and I don't know when and when, and who wrote it.
