Chapter 52: The Most Perfect Assassination Plan
It was really not beautiful, because it was just in time for the rainy season, so it would rain almost every afternoon, and when they reached the bottom, it began to rain, and it became heavier and heavier, and then it became a downpour. Some of these Japanese soldiers wanted to quickly set up their tents and go inside to shelter from the rain, while others advocated walking outside the valley as soon as possible, because it was too dangerous to stay in the valley in this kind of heavy rain.
The two people of opinion quarreled fiercely, and two of them even started fighting, and in the end, the captain fired a warning shot, and the fight stopped, and the captain gave a categorical order: hurry up and retreat out of the valley, no matter how heavy the rain is. And in the process of evacuating, we must keep a distance, and we must not squeeze into a pile.
In this way, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers braved the pouring rain and staggered and crawled to the bottom of the valley. The rain had left them with barely able to open their eyes and breathe. Everyone is stumbling and groping their way out. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound from the mountain, yes, a mudslide!
From the steep walls on both sides, countless stones fell, and seven or eight Japanese soldiers were quickly smashed into "meat sauce", and then buried underneath in an instant. A few living people who were still alive just now turned into mud under rocks and clods of soil in just a few dozen seconds.
Fortunately, the distance was widened, so there were still five or six in front left, and they were not stoned to death. These five or six were frightened and rushed to the valley mouth like crazy. Perhaps it was their fate, and the moment they rushed out of the valley, the entire valley was covered with a thick layer of mudslides rolling down from the mountain.
Outside the mouth of the valley, they found a flat land on high ground, quickly set up their tents and went into it without waiting, not caring how wet the ground was, and lying on the ground in shock, gasping for breath. Before they could do any work, more than half of the dozen people had died.
The more than a dozen of them originally belonged to the reconnaissance unit, which one was not the elite of the Japanese army? After so many battles, their squad had almost no casualties, but I didn't expect that most of them died at once this time, and it wasn't because of the battle! The more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't help but yell and curse in Japanese. But there is no way, "the military takes obedience to orders as its duty", as long as you live, you must complete the task to the letter.
The rain came and went fast, and it was pouring down, but when they rushed out of the valley and into their tents, the rain quickly stopped.
Now that the rain has stopped, you should complete the task quickly and try to go back early.
The sky outside was still overcast, and the occasional raindrop on the face seemed to remind these Japanese that the heavy rain would "dump" at any time.
The Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to escape took advantage of this rare rainstorm to quickly enter the deep valley again, and took out ropes and mountaineering equipment, ready to start climbing to find that special mushroom. Anyone with even a modicum of knowledge about rock climbing knows how dangerous climbing can be on a rainy day, and these Japanese soldiers trained in professional climbing know that doing so is similar to committing suicide, but they have no choice.
They had climbed countless times, but never so nervous and scared as this one. These five or six men were preoccupied and tried their best to carefully climb up the steep wall, and the higher above the ground, the more terrified their hearts became. With their rich experience, they would definitely have thought that in the process of such a dangerous climbing, it is very likely that someone would fall and die, and as for who would be so unlucky, they could only resign themselves to fate.
It can only be said that people who have been professionally trained sometimes feel that they will be very accurate.
When climbing to about seventeen or eighteen meters above the ground, suddenly, the stone fixed by the rope of one of the Japanese soldiers, because it had just been washed by the heavy rain, and under the continuous pulling, it became more and more loose, and finally with a bang, it fell off the cliff, the Japanese soldier lost his fixed point on the cliff, and could only do "free fall movement", and coincidentally, in the process of falling, this stone was smashing on the head of another Japanese soldier, and this unlucky Japanese also became " free fall", and smashed and fell, worse than the first one to fall.
The remaining three people, listening to the terrible screams, echoed in the valley, and one by one they were not only terrified, but they closed their eyes and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm their emotions for a while, before continuing to climb the mountain. Finally, about twenty meters above the ground, he searched for the kind of mushroom that the old man said.
In the afternoon of the next day, Sakata was a little exhausted after a busy morning, and was receiving the miraculous massage of the old man, and the exhaustion of the body was slowly disappearing under the magical hands of the old man, and was replaced by an incomparable relaxation and pleasure. While he was enjoying the good feeling, the orderly came in and reported to him that the mountaineering team on the mission had returned. Sakata hurriedly got up and sat up, ordering them to come in immediately.
The three of them were covered in mud, their faces were haggard, and their uniforms were already a little ragged. Although they were fighting their spirits, they could not hide their deep fatigue, and they reported loudly to Sakata that 10 people had died in this mission, and only two bodies had been brought back, and the other eight had been buried under the mudslide.
Sakata just waved his hand impatiently and asked coldly, "Have you picked the mushrooms?" After hearing the affirmative answer, he took a breath and looked relieved. and immediately ordered the three people to be credited, paid, and given a holiday.
Sakata made a "please" gesture to Lao Langzhong, who walked over unhurriedly and paced, looked carefully at the mushrooms collected on the table, and then nodded to Sakata, which means "That's right, it's this mushroom." ”
Sakata's behavior was a little strange, he didn't continue to say anything to Lao Langzhong, but to the military doctor next to him, secretly made a look, the military doctor understood, and walked forward to Lao Langzhong and said: "Please forgive me, the medicine taken by the commander must go through strict toxicity testing, your mushroom is no exception, where the duty is, please also Mr. Haihan." ”
Lao Langzhong smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Please."
Sakata smiled and said that although he himself felt that it was unnecessary, the military regulations that no matter who they were, must be implemented to the letter, which is one of the reasons why their Japanese Imperial Army is invincible in the world.
Lao Langzhong just nodded his head without being humble or arrogant, indicating that it was completely understandable. The military doctor took the mushrooms and tested them. After more than three days of careful analysis and testing, and even let people try it, it was finally determined that it was non-toxic.
The military doctor asked Lao Langzhong to tell them how to decoct the medicine and how to process it, and said that these practical operations were completely done by their military doctors, so they didn't need Lao Langzhong to do it himself. Lao Langzhong did not express any objections or displeasure, but was very cooperative and explained to them in detail the steps of mushroom processing and processing.
This series of expressions in Lao Lang made the Japanese trust him more and more.
Under the close supervision and operation of many Japanese military doctors, the mushrooms were concocted, and during all the processing processes, Lao Langzhong was not present because he was only asked to tell the details in advance, and he did not need to command on the spot.
The Japanese can be said to have gone to great lengths to eliminate the possibility of poisoning a qiē. This made them feel safe, and after such a strict process, Sakata was of course relieved, so he couldn't wait to take the boiled medicine, which was a relief. Thinking that he had a headache almost every summer, and was eradicated like this, he couldn't help but be very happy, and he was extremely grateful to Lao Langzhong, and he sent someone to give Lao Langzhong a very heavy gold bar to express his gratitude.
Since then, the relationship between Sakata and Lao Langzhong has become closer.
Sakata repeatedly proposed to let Lao Langzhong go to Japan, and said that with Lao Langzhong's such a clever medical skill, he would definitely gain fame and fortune in Japan, and as long as Lao Langzhong was willing, he could immediately join the Japanese nationality.
Sakata also half-jokingly said to the old man: "Mr. Yi's genius is not at all like other stupid Chinese, but like our excellent Yamato nation, haha."
Lao Langzhong still just laughed calmly, except for the occasional mention of medical skills, he didn't talk about anything else, such as politics, nationality, military, or anything else.
In order to show his responsibility for Saka's body, Lao Langzhong also specially arranged for Sakata's military doctor to eat some red peony, salvia, Chuanxiong, safflower, and incense to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis in the future, and said very rarely, in a joking tone: "If you are not at ease with this kind of medicine in China, you can use your Japanese production, because you also have this kind of Chinese medicine." When the military doctor and Sakata heard this joke from the old man, they not only did not get angry, but also laughed.
But what they don't know is that Sakata's life has come to an end. The net carefully arranged by Lao Langzhong is slowly retracting, and Sakata is the biggest fish in this net.
Next, a series of unexpected things happened.
First of all, Lao Langzhong was "killed" in the hospital, his face was beaten to shreds, and a note was left beside him: "Anyone who dares to be a traitor will be such a thief"; Then, the three Japanese mountaineers who were not buried by the mudslide were also killed in the alley behind the brothel, which was obviously followed and killed by the three people after receiving bonuses and vacations, and going to the brothel to be happy when they had money and time. The three of them died very miserably, their genitals were cut off, their throats were cut, their eyeballs were cut out, and then they were tortured to death like this, because everyone had a hideous and terrible face, which showed how painful it was before death. The Japanese carefully investigated for a long time, but did not find any clues, so they had to give up, and they guessed that this must have been done by the military commander.
Even more strange is Sakata's death.
His headache did not recur, and he also strictly followed Lao Langzhong's doctor's instructions, and usually took some red peony, salvia, Chuanxiong, safflower, incense, and other medicines to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis to consolidate the curative effect. What I didn't expect was that it only took about half a month for him to die painfully because of heavy stomach bleeding!
The Japanese military doctors were very confused, because Sakata's stomach function is usually very normal and he has never felt uncomfortable, why did he have stomach bleeding in just half a month? It's definitely not about eating those Chinese herbs, those Chinese herbs are all grown in Japan, and they are all strictly controlled in dosage, and I have never heard that these medicines can cause stomach bleeding and cause death.
It's weird!
