Chapter 44 Human Skin

Not only did Fukushima die, he died in front of his wife, mother, and children.

This really made Fang Linyan guess the beginning, but not the ending.

Yes, it was just as Fang Linyan predicted at the beginning: the organization to which this guy from Fukushima was not willing to be led around, chose to attack by force.

And these representatives of the radical and young factions in the army must have the strength to do this.

However, having the strength to do this definitely does not mean that you will be able to get things done in the end.

Just like when Yin Lak had the strength to defeat Kuwait, Yin Lak's president Saddam Hussein ended up being killed as a war criminal.

The Young Man Faction sent personnel to rescue the Fukushima family. The ideal situation would be to successfully rescue people and capture the irrefutable evidence of Dong Xiang, and also kill a group of the minions of this national thief, making Dong Xiang, a dirty national thief, tremble in blood.

However, when rescuing the hostages, the people sent by the Young Zhuang Faction only made a good start and successfully killed several of the Dongxiang Jing Faction's subordinates. However, a big mistake was made when rescuing the hostages.

The samurai who captured Fukushima's daughter saw that the situation was not going well and used his child to block the sword.

If the young warrior who attacked him stopped, he would be killed. He could only use his strength to kill him coldly! The intention was very simple, that is, kill the hostage first with this sword, and then kill the hostage with the remaining strength.

By!

From this person's point of view, this move was understandable, but for Fukushima, it was an unbearable pain, so at this time he rushed forward to block the knife, but he was directly hit in the vital point, and the hostage taker

He took advantage of the situation to counterattack, killed the samurai who rushed to the rescue, and ran away.

Fukushima was not dead when Lamin left, but according to the current medical level, the injuries he suffered were almost equivalent to an early declaration of death.

There is no doubt that this ending made Togoi very happy. Fukushima died, and he also died at the sword of his own friendly forces.

What's even better is that according to his intelligence, after the Young Zhuang Faction group heard about this ending, there were obvious internal cracks and a fierce quarrel broke out.

After getting the first-line information, Fang Linyan checked the war progress bar and found that China's winning rate had actually increased by 0.081%. He immediately realized one thing, that is, the chain reaction caused by Fukushima's death was greater than he imagined.

It's even more intense.

After confirming that his daughter was fine, Fukushima forced himself to commit seppuku, finally fulfilling his last wish in life:

Withered like cherry blossoms, he finally asked his friend Kojima Shige, who came over in tears after hearing the news, to apologize for his mistake.

The meaning of jiecuo is to serve as an assistant to commit seppuku. If a samurai feels unbearable pain during seppuku, he will often ask the assistant to chop off his head to end his pain.

This position is very special in Japanese culture because it is a very honorable thing for the person who is entrusted with the execution of the fault report.

Generally speaking, those who need to commit seppuku will find one of their closest friends, family members, brothers, or someone with a good swordsmanship to perform it.

But by the way, beheading is also a technical job, especially since most people who have made mistakes have never done it. Don’t talk about beheading. Friends who have cooked should know that if you want to chop ribs at home,

of difficulty.

When the Japanese writer Mishima Yukio committed seppuku, his wrongdoer failed to complete the task even after slashing him three times. Mishima was so miserable that he wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide. This is a very true portrayal.

In the end, I had no choice but to find another intermediary who came forward, and then he was taken into the soul.

Oh no, cut off the head with a knife.

Obviously, this time the Young People's Faction messed up things, and there were obvious internal cracks. In addition, Togoi grabbed the sore leg and directly accused them of kidnapping Fukushima's family.

Yes, Dong Xiangjing is so shameless and shameless. He calls the people he sends over there as saviors, and the Young Man Faction is labeled as a hijacker. The reason for the crime is even simpler:

The men sent by the Young Strong Faction hacked Fukushima to death and cut off one of Fukushima's daughter's arms.

The proof is irrefutable! What the hell do you have to say!?

This really made the Young People group almost vomit blood from depression, because after all, only a few people witnessed the kidnapping, so many people obviously concluded that Dong Xiangjing was right.

After knowing the current embarrassing situation of the Young Zhuang Sect, Fang Linyan couldn't help but smile. At this time, a large swamp appeared in front of him, and in this swamp, there were large reeds growing, which looked very strange.

Spectacular.

This is also the reed field in the rumors, yes, a reed field planted artificially.

Because for Japan at this time, tatami is an essential thing for every household, and because its wear resistance is not very good, it is similar to the bamboo brooms and mops of the 1960s and 1970s, with three or four

Something that needs to be changed every month.

Therefore, reed, the main material for making tatami, is actually very marketable.

According to Kazuki Hattori, the people who opened and tended these reed fields were the villagers in Navel Village.

They will exchange reeds for daily necessities through some channels. Because the locals have demonized it, no one usually comes here, so it is inaccessible.

As for why Hattori Kazuki knew about it, it was because they, the remnants of the shogunate, were also being hunted and hunted by the authorities. Their situation could be said to be comparable to that of the poor people in Navel Village. Hattori Kazumas himself had gone to Navel

Maocun treated the injury.

Fang Linyan identified it, found a road in the vast reed field, and walked in.

As a result, I didn't go far when I heard a person coming out of the reeds next to me. This person covered his face with a black cloth. His feet were covered with mud. He was also holding a large ball of waterweed in his hand. He should get up.

I was pulling weeds in the reed field.

He glanced at Fang Linyan, and then said in a hoarse voice:

"Don't go any further, stranger, this is not a place where a living person should come."

Fang Linyan said simply:

"I came to Navel Hair Village to find someone."

The man said coldly:

"There is no living person in Navel Hair Village."

Fang Linyan said:

"Aren't you a living person?"

The man slowly took off the black cloth, and then said in a hoarse voice:

"I just crawled out of hell."

After taking off the black cloth, the man's face was actually covered with large and small purple-black tumors. The big ones were like eggs and the small ones were as big as soybeans. They looked extremely scary!

This is a typical late-stage leprosy patient. The disease spreads at close range, and the patient is in so much pain that life would be worse than death.

The causative virus of leprosy has mutated and is very lethal in the acute stage, with a high mortality rate. It takes one month after the initial infection to become chronic, and one can live for more than ten or twenty years, even if

He wakes up like a ghost during the day.

However, Fang Linyan is also well-informed. He has seen real ghosts that are much scarier than him. He laughed and said:

"Don't scare people, you are just a patient, you are just more seriously ill."

After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan motioned to Laming to pass a bottle of rice wine over, and then said:

"I am Hu Zhiyun, a businessman from China. This gentleman, you haven't asked me for his name yet?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the bottle of wine. After taking it, he opened the stopper and took a gulp. After exhaling the smell of wine, he said happily

:

"You're not afraid of me?"

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"I've seen real ghosts. Besides, you're just a patient, a patient who works hard and supports himself. What's there to be afraid of?"

Hearing what Fang Linyan said, this man's ugly face showed a look of relief. He had lived for too long in the eyes of others who were discriminatory and mutated, so his character must have become very extreme. Fang Linyan treated ordinary people the same way.

Instead, he felt an unprecedented respect for him.

So he dusted himself off a few times, pointed at Fang Linyan and bowed slightly:

"I have forgotten my original name. At this time, I am living in the reed field. Please call me Wei Mingxian."

Fang Linyan said politely:

"It's like this. I have a strange bookmark passed down from my ancestors. I have traveled thousands of miles and searched for experts everywhere to identify the whereabouts of this bookmark, but I have found nothing."

"Until some time ago, I heard that a gentleman was an expert in this field, so I came here specifically to find him."

Wei Mingxian said:

"Who are you looking for?"

Fang Linyan said:

"Mr. Murawa Oni'an, if you can help me, I will send you a jug of wine."

Japan is now in short supply of various materials, especially food, and wine-making consumes a lot of food. Alcohol is an out-and-out controlled product. If Nagasaki didn't rely on alcohol to make huge profits for foreigners, it wouldn't be possible at all.

Can't buy drinks.

After hearing Fang Linyan's promise, Wei Mingxian said:

"Okay, come with me."

After finishing speaking, they took Fang Linyan and walked towards the depths of the reed field, and soon found a large bamboo forest in front of them.

After walking through the bamboo forest, there was a big stone in front of me, with the words "Navel Hair Village" clearly engraved on it, and it was also smeared with bright red dye, so it looked like it was written with blood.

There were two people guarding the entrance of the village, but Fang Linyan and the others were brought in by Ashina Xian, so they were not questioned. After entering the village, Fang Linyan realized that there had actually been a dozen shops here.

Commercial street form.

Obviously, Navel Hair Village has relied on its previous reputation as a cover to form an underground black market. Thieves can come here to sell their stolen goods, rebels can come here to consume, and even official people can come here to hire people to do some shady things.

Things of light.

Finally, Wei Mingxian led Fang Linyan and the others to the outside of a dilapidated hay shed, and then said:

"The person you are looking for should be inside, but it's hard to say whether he can help you identify things now."

Fang Linyan:

"???"

Then he came to the door of the hut and found that there was no door at all, but a torn and dirty cloth.

Fang Linyan then heard an astonishing snoring sound coming from inside, like a cow roaring. Obviously, in this case, let alone knocking on the door, there would probably be no response even if the house was demolished.

After sighing helplessly, Fang Linyan made a rude move. He opened the door curtain and walked in. He wiped the oil stains on the side and saw an old man lying on the straw. On the bed, he was snoring loudly.

This old man is slovenly, has a big rosy nose, and is short in stature. Fortunately, the clothes on his body are quite neat, but the tattered ones are washed white. This should be the target of their trip: Murawa Oni. It’s nunnery.

Fang Linyan frowned. If he behaved politely, at least half a day would have passed by waiting for the old man to sober up. Of course he couldn't afford it at this time.

But if you just call someone directly, conventional methods - such as pouring a ladle of cold water on it will definitely save you, but how can you tell them what you want to ask them to do next?

Fortunately, at this time, Lamin showed his value. After the guy came to the old man's side, he took out an orange from his arms, peeled it off, put it next to his nose, and smoked it. After the effect is achieved, change the food.

Finally, when Lamin handed over a jug of good wine, the old man's nose suddenly twitched greedily twice, and then he slowly woke up.

Next, Cun and Gui'an didn't put on any airs and seemed to be easy to talk to. After Fang Linyan explained his purpose, they readily agreed to the appraisal.

When he brought the "bookmark" in front of his eyes, his expression suddenly changed, and then he said:

"I only saw this thing almost thirty years ago. At that time, I was a small musician. In order to support my family in Hukou, I was forced to wander around. However, it took too long, so I couldn't be sure for a while. , I just think it’s a bit similar.”

Fang Linyan calculated the time and found that it was 1864 thirty years ago. At that time, it was the most chaotic and bloody period of the end of the Tokugawa period. Turmoil, bloodshed, and bullying were the labels of that time.

At that time, Murura and Oni'an wandered around various places and were not killed by countless bandits, bandits, and ronin, so they were considered to have a hard life.

In such troubled times, it is not unusual to see any weird things, but the words of Cun Heguian also made Fang Linyan feel a chill:

"At that time, I saw two lanterns made of similar materials. They were two lanterns that could only be hung up at night. They were gloomy lanterns. The skin material of these two lanterns was made of human skin, and they were made of human skin. The skin of a girl around ten years old is smooth and clean, with no scars or birthmarks on it."

Fang Linyan took a breath after hearing this and almost threw the bookmark in his hand:

"Human skin!!?"
