Chapter 2 Chapter two

On the ground of Jiaodong, Laiyang is not too small a town. The terrain here is flat and the land is fertile. The wide Wulong River flows through the city, and the river banks are lined with lush green trees.From the map, Laiyang City is located in the middle of the peninsula, the throat of the east-west passage, and has always been a battleground for military strategists.However, due to years of wars, Kitano saw a dilapidated small town. Throughout the summer, the battles in the Chinese battlefield were frequent.According to the "Operation No. 1" plan, the Japanese army must first defeat the Chinese army in the first theater, occupy and secure the southern section of Pinghan Road.On the night of April 17, 1944, the 37th Division of the Japanese Army launched a fierce attack on the position of the 27th Division of the Chinese Army in the area of ​​Zhongmou, and the Battle of Central Henan began.The Japanese army attacked fiercely, captured Zhengzhou on the 22nd, occupied Xuchang on May 1st, and occupied Yuxian County and Xiangcheng on May 3rd.Luoyang was captured on May 25.During the thirty-eight days of the Battle of Central Henan, the defenders in Henan were passive in combat and collapsed at the first touch. Thirty-eight cities were lost and more than 200,000 troops were lost.The ironic scene is that the headquarters of the 36th Army was surrounded by the Japanese army in the wheat field near Qinjiapo in southern Shaanxi, and the commander-in-chief Li Jiayu was shot to death by the Japanese submachine gun on the soft wheat tree that was about to mature...

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the wheat on the ground in Jiaodong is also yellow and ripe.Since the Japanese occupied this land, the wheat harvest has been uneven every year.The poor wheat in the field was stared at by everyone: the Japanese, the puppet army, the anti-Japanese team, and the common people themselves.As soon as the scythe was fired, groups of teams dispatched from their respective strongholds.The Japanese called their actions "Wheat Season Qingxiang" or "Wheat Season Sweep".Clearing the countryside is clearing grain, and sweeping is also sweeping grain.They opened their mouths wide open, eager to "clean up" the people's wheat until there was not a single grain left.Compared with other enemy-occupied areas, the anti-Japanese forces in this area are relatively strong, but the ranks are mixed and belong to various political forces. The Kuomintang, the Communist Party, and those without party and faction are just guerrillas under the banner of anti-Japanese.The main task of the anti-Japanese team Mai Ji is to prevent the Japanese and the puppet army from looting, to help the common people leave a little food for their livelihood, and also to get some military food for themselves.

In order to facilitate operations, Kitano temporarily divided his troops into eight squadrons, each in groups of four, and took turns to take on food robbing and garrison tasks.Every day before dawn, the grain grabbing team set off from the station and went to the village in four directions: east, west, north, south, and north. When they grabbed the grain, they forced the people to transport it back to the city for them.The process of scrambling for grain is actually the process of meeting fire with the anti-Japanese troops. The sound of guns and cannons came and went continuously on this small peninsula plain, adding an extraordinary atmosphere to the annual wheat harvest.

According to Kitano's order, Su Yuan went to the countryside with the food robbing team as a team doctor.Su Yuan knew that Kitano's sinister intention was to make him "appear" in front of the people of the four villages as a traitor.Since that time when he flooded the Japanese army with urine, Kitano has been bitter about him and detained him in the army. Naturally, he has the consideration of making him continue to diagnose and treat difficult diseases for the Japanese army, but it is mainly Kitano's revenge mentality that is at work.You don't want to be a traitor, so I just call you a traitor, drive ducks to the shelves, you can get on the shelves, and you can get on if you don't.His wife, Mou Qing, was left in the city, and she acted as a hostage for Kitano to prevent Su Yuan from escaping while going to the countryside.Kitano is really an unadulterated Japanese "ghost".

The grain grabbing team that Su Yuan followed was led by a lieutenant named Morioka.Su Yuan had met Morioka before. He was a tall, thin man of thirty-seven or eight years old, with a beard and a beard. He didn't talk much and had fierce eyes.This grain grabbing team consisted of more than 40 devils and more than 100 puppet troops.The squadron leader of the puppet army is a bald man surnamed Feng. Feng bald's squadron is stationed in the south of the city. Su Yuan also met him in the headquarters of Beiye.It is said that Feng Tuzi's marksmanship is very good, he doesn't need to aim, he just raises his hand to hold the gun, and he hits every shot with every shot.Feng Tuzi was a bandit, a local. Before the Japanese came, he was a bandit leader on Mount Zeshan, with dozens of people and dozens of guns.When the Japanese first came, he fought under the banner of the Anti-Japanese War, and fought several battles with the Japanese, so he didn't take advantage of it.Afterwards, seeing the growing power of the Japanese, coupled with a discord with another bandit leader, he pulled out his own direct line to vote for the Japanese.The Japanese didn't take him seriously at first, and only gave him a bunker guard.Soon he found out that he possessed unique skills and thought it was useful, so he was appointed as the squadron leader and guarded a dozen bunkers in the south of the city.

The team went out of the city and headed straight south.About five miles away, the road passed a village, and Sen Tong ordered some young and strong farmers to be arrested in the village to be porters for grain transportation.Japanese soldiers and puppet troops searched from house to house.After a while, more than 20 young and strong farmers were arrested.Su Yuan suddenly heard a woman crying, hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw two devils dragging a young man out of the house, and an old woman behind him grabbed the young man tightly and did not let go, "My son is sick, he can't go." The old woman Weeping and yelling.At this time, the Japanese soldiers had already dragged the young man to the street, and Su Yuan could tell at a glance that the young man was indeed a sick man with a sallow face.He was just about to go to Mori Tong to talk to the young people, but he saw a Japanese soldier not far away aiming at the old woman with a gun and screaming. Su Yuan understood that he was telling the two Japanese soldiers to get out of the way. Jumping to both sides, the gun went off, and the shot broke one arm of the old woman. Almost at the same time, the other arm of the old woman was also hit. The old woman fell to the ground and screamed, bleeding all over the floor.The old woman's son turned around and threw himself on the old woman, and passed out before he could cry.Mori said with a gloomy face, let's go.So the team left the mother and son who had fallen in the street, and set off with the twenty or so Chinese they had just captured.All this seemed to happen only for a moment, and Su Yuan, who followed the team away, didn't know what to do until he was far away, and the crying of the old woman was still ringing in his ears.

The team continued to walk south along the road for twenty miles, and arrived at the area where the anti-Japanese team was active, and the speed of progress gradually slowed down.This time "Qingxiang", Kitano's tactical principle is from far to near. As long as he wins on the outer edge of the defense zone, the food around the defense zone will be in his pocket. With a "boom", a mine exploded in front of the Japanese soldiers, blowing up several devils on the spot. Su Yuan saw a thigh falling from the sky. If he hadn't dodged quickly, the leg would have hit him.The thunder blasted the devils and puppet soldiers into fear, some lay on the ground, some stood dumbfounded, but Morioka calmed down a bit, pulled out his command knife and howled.The Japanese soldiers got up from the ground first, followed by Feng Tuzi's puppet army.The team stopped there, hesitating, afraid of stepping on another mine.

Morioka yelled for a while, probably realizing that the purpose of yelling was unknown, so he stopped.He ordered the Japanese soldiers who were killed in the bombing to be loaded onto grain trucks, sent by a few civilians to the city, and escorted by a few Japanese soldiers.Morioka was very annoyed and regretted that he should not have put the Japanese army at the forefront of the team, and he suffered first.He re-deployed the march and let the captured Chinese civilians walk in the forefront to act as human minesweepers.Behind the civilian husband is Feng Tuzi's puppet army, and the Japanese army is at the back.The team moved on again.The civilian husband was neither stupid nor idiot. He understood that the Japanese devils wanted them to die in front, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to bite the bullet and walk forward, but his steps were very slow, so angry that the Japanese soldiers kept shouting and cursing.

Just less than half a mile away, the civilian husband stepped on the second landmine, causing two casualties each.Seeing this, the peasants squatted on the ground and wept, refusing to take another step.Just at this moment, the Japanese noticed a figure swaying in the small woods on the side, and they suspected that they had been ambushed by the anti-Japanese team.Mori ordered Feng Tuzi to lead the puppet army from the left, and himself to lead the Japanese army from the right, and they all surrounded the woods.There were indeed members of the anti-Japanese team in the forest. When they saw the Japanese and puppet troops encircling the forest, they raised their guns and fired, retreating while fighting, and disappeared after a while.Morioka's encirclement and annihilation plan failed, and he was so angry that his face was livid.Back on the road, I found that the civilian husband had fled, and even those who were killed and injured by the explosion just now were gone.

Only the Chinese doctor Su Yuan stood there alone: Without the Chinese civilian husband, it was Feng Tuzi's puppet army that stepped on the thunder in front. Feng Tuzi was dissatisfied with this, and his face was ugly. Su Yuan roared and asked Su Yuan to go ahead of his team.Su Yuan didn't say anything, and walked forward.He knew that he was doomed and could not escape.He could have escaped with the peasants just now, but one of the peasants reminded him that this was a good opportunity to escape, as long as he got into the wheat field, the Japanese would stare blankly.But he knew he couldn't escape, he couldn't leave his wife to the Japanese alone.

Su Yuan walked so fast that the puppet soldiers behind him could barely keep up.At this time, a strange idea floated in Su Yuan's mind: he hoped that the third thunder would explode under his feet, so that all his troubles and burdens would be relieved. However, the third thunder did not sound in the end. This Mai Ji was the most painful time in Su Yuan's life. His whole life fell into the abyss and he couldn't extricate himself.The longer he stayed in the Japanese barracks, the deeper he felt guilty.Am I a traitor?He often asks himself this question.If he answered no, he was deceiving himself and others, and if he answered yes, he felt extremely wronged. The wheat season is over, and the Japanese are complacent. This time, the wheat season clearing the countryside was very successful, grabbing enough grain for them to last for half a year.However, the price was also very high. When food was brought back from the countryside, it also brought back numerous corpses of Japanese soldiers and traitors. Su Yuan and his wife Mou Qing were arranged to live alone in a house since they were taken to the Japanese barracks in Laiyang.This house is diagonally opposite Kitano's headquarters. One of the missions of the sentry outside the headquarters gate is to monitor the movements of Su Yuan and his wife. , no matter day or night.This kind of house arrest is simple and effective, and does not give Su Yuan and his wife an opportunity to escape.In life, the Japanese also give some care.They lived in a separate courtyard, which was a civilian house requisitioned by the Japanese army. Three rooms faced south, and the courtyard was very large. There were two apricot trees full of fruits and grapes in the courtyard.Green vines cover the walls.The furniture in the room is also fully equipped, most of which are Japanese military supplies.You can eat as you please, you can go to the cafeteria in the compound of the headquarters opposite to get meals, or you can get food, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from the cafeteria and make them yourself.Su Yuan and his wife do not want to associate with the Japanese, and they are not used to the food cooked by the Japanese chef. There are no special circumstances, and they cook it by themselves, which leads to new troubles. Meal, come and eat every now and then.Su Yuan was very disgusted by this, even though it was not good to keep him out, he didn't have the face to show him.Bu Naitang ignored it and pretended not to notice anything. He knew in his heart that he didn't come here for a meal, let alone to get close to Su Yuan, but for Mou Qing.The young man also noticed this, and felt very awkward. She and her husband had the same dislike for Bu Naitang, and she didn't want to associate with this genuine Japanese traitor, let alone have any other relationship with him.However, in her heart she appreciated Bu Naitang's kindness to her on the execution ground, so her attitude towards Bu Naitang was still different from that of her husband. Another frequent visitor is Military Doctor Takata.Gao Tian is the captain of the military medical team, and Su Yuan's job is assigned by Gao Tian military doctor.This is also an excuse for Takada to come every time.They knew little about the situation of this Japanese military doctor. They had seen his operation and his medical skills were very good, which cannot be hidden from the eyes of experts.However, what Takada did on the execution ground that time made them resentful. He was a murderer who took pleasure in killing, and a fascist wearing a doctor's coat.Every time Takata came, they rejected him psychologically. Su Yuan and his wife Mou Qing lived like years in the Japanese barracks, and all their energy was focused on one point: escape.This is the only way to be born again. In fact, their escape plan was not conceived until late summer and early autumn.There were not many battles in summer, mainly because the green gauze tents in the fields were conducive to the actions of the anti-Japanese troops. They were in the dark, and the Japanese were in the light.Kitano's troops retreated after suffering a few times.They are waiting for the arrival of autumn, and they expect that autumn clearing will be as rewarding as summer clearing.Kitano is always headstrong in this regard. Relatively speaking, the weakening of military operations has brought difficulties for Su Yuan and his wife to escape.The Japanese strengthened the defense of Laiyang City. There were many sentries around the city, and soldiers guarded every intersection.Every time Su Yuan walks on the street, his eyes are searching for whether there is a way for him to escape. This kind of searching is always vacillating between possible and negative judgments. Until he met an enemy worker of the anti-Japanese team who had sneaked into Laiyang City for activities. It was a Saturday afternoon, and Su Yuan was walking from the military medical brigade to his residence.The military medical brigade is in the north of the city, two miles away from Kitano's headquarters.As he was walking, he suddenly noticed a man following him.He immediately became nervous, he quickened his pace, and the people behind him also chased after him. When he reached the level shoulder, the man lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Su, please come with me."He couldn't judge what was in front of him, but his legs followed the man involuntarily.Seen from the back, the man was tall and strong, dressed in black cloth, with a bald head, his age and occupation could not be seen, anyway, he did not look like a farmer just from his straight waist. When he came to a cross street, the strange man looked back at him, and then turned to the left.Su Yuan hesitated for a while and followed.This is a secluded small street with a dirt floor and scattered shops on both sides of the street.When he reached the entrance of a bathhouse, the man glanced around, then opened the door and entered. Su Yuan wanted to follow him to the end, so he also entered the door. Since coming to Laiyang City, Su Yuan has taken a bath in the bathhouse several times, but this family has never been there.If you had been paying attention at the door just now, you would have seen the words "Xingqing Pool" written on the wall.He was flustered and didn't see it.After entering the door, he realized that he had entered a bathhouse. The strange man greeted a man who looked like a shopkeeper on the cabinet and paid for it.The shopkeeper let out a long shout: "Two—" before the voice fell, a young man wearing only a pair of underpants came out from the inside, nodded and bowed to invite them in.Up to now, Su Yuan didn't think too much about it, and followed the strange man inside. Probably since the establishment of the service industry, various services have been divided into grades, and bathhouses are no exception.When you walk in, you will see a large common room with dozens of beds and poor equipment. It is prepared for the inferior people who want to take a bath but have little money.Passing through this large room, there is a double room that is screened off inside, and then there is an elegant room like a hotel. The lad leads them into such a room. After the boy left, the strange man turned to look at Su Yuan.Only then did Su Yuan see his appearance.His face was so long that it made him think of a horse.His eyes were as big and bright as a horse's.Among all the livestock, Su Yuan loved horses the most. When he was a child, he basically fed the horse in his family. After school, he went to the river outside the village to mow grass, specially picking the tenderest and greenest grass.The horse was also very close to him. When he rode it, it always ran cautiously, as if worried that he would fall off. It's interesting to say that the strange man's horse-like appearance made Su Yuan get close to him all of a sudden, as if he had known him for a long time. The strange man began to undress. "Do you have anything to do with me? Brother?" Su Yuan couldn't help but say. "Don't worry, take a shower first, and then speak slowly." The man with a horse face said, and added: "My surname is Ma." "Your surname is Ma?" Su Yuan asked in surprise. "Why, can't my surname be Ma?" The man surnamed Ma smiled at him. Su Yuan realized his presumptuousness.So he smiled apologetically, but he still felt unbelievable—a man who looked like a horse had the surname Ma exactly. After the man surnamed Ma was stripped naked, Su Yuan felt that he was a real horse. "Call me old horse from now on. I'm older than you, so it's not unreasonable to earn you the word 'old', right?" The old horse wrapped the towel where it should be wrapped and walked towards the pond. Entering the pond, the curtain-like steam and the naked body of the man made them feel as if they were "lost", and it was rare to see each other. Su Yuan didn't have the heart to wash himself carefully, he was full of doubts.I tossed and turned in my heart what was the purpose of this mysterious man surnamed Ma looking for him?Will things be bad or good in the future?In this turbulent age, everything is dangerous. After washing hastily, he went back to the room.What surprised him was that the man surnamed Ma Xiangma was already in the room, but he didn't expect him to wash faster than himself.He lay on the bunk and smoked. Su Yuan wanted to put on clothes, but was stopped by the old horse, who said to lie down and talk, how can he put on clothes when he really takes a bath? Su Yuan did as he said again. The old horse said: "Doctor Su, you must have many questions in your heart, waiting for me to solve them. Don't you?" Su Yuan said nothing, just looked at him. The old horse said, "Just ask, and I promise to tell you the truth." Su Yuan thought about it and asked, "What do you do?" Lao Ma said: "I am an enemy worker in the anti-Japanese team." Su Yuan was startled: "Anti-Japanese team? Enemy workers?" The old horse nodded. Su Yuan asked: "Which anti-Japanese team?" The old horse said: "This question is not good and I will answer you right away." Su Yuan asked, "What do you want from me?" Lao Ma said: "I came to you to tell you that as a Chinese, you should not do things for the Japanese. Not to mention, one day the Japanese devils will be driven out of China sooner or later. You can go back to your old nest, but where can Chinese traitors go back?" Su Yuan was a little anxious when he heard this, and said, "Old Ma, I'm not a traitor, this was forced by the Japanese." Lao Ma said: "It doesn't matter if you are forced or not, anyway, it is a fact to work for the Japanese." Su Yuan said: "I only treat Japanese people's diseases, not their injuries. Can this be considered a traitor?" Lao Ma said: "Doctor Su, no matter whether he is treating a disease or an injury, he is actually maintaining the enemy's combat effectiveness. Healing a wounded devil can return to the battlefield to kill Chinese people. Isn't it the same for curing a sick devil? " Su Yuan was speechless, he couldn't deny the old horse's logic. The old horse said again: "Doctor Su, I believe in one thing, you are not sincerely working hard for the Japanese, you are under pressure." Su Yuan nodded and said, "That's it. I want to escape, but the Japanese are very strict. You can also see that the way out of the city is guarded by Japanese soldiers." The old horse said, "We can help you escape." Su Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Old Ma, is what you said true?" The old horse said, "Really, as long as you want." Su Yuan said: "Yes. I can't ask for it." The old horse said: "If we want to help you, we will definitely be able to. But there is one thing I will tell you in advance." Su Yuan said, "Old Ma, tell me." Lao Ma: "After escaping, we hope you can join the anti-Japanese team. People like you are desperately needed in the team." Su Yuanxiang: "You want me to be a military doctor?" The old horse said, "Yes, including your wife." Su Yuan said: "Old Ma, my wife and I are willing to join the anti-Japanese team. We are both Chinese and have a Chinese conscience." The old horse nodded: "I know you will be willing." Su Yuan couldn't wait to ask: "Is there a way to escape?" The old horse said: "I will arrange all this. At this time next Saturday, we will still meet here. Then I will discuss the plan with you carefully." Su Yuan nodded.Then he asked, "Old Ma, where do you live?" The old horse said: "Don't ask. It's not that I don't believe you. It's the rule. Do you understand?" Su Yuan nodded with a half understanding. The old horse said again: "Don't tell anyone about this, in case it gets leaked." Su Yuan said, "My wife..." The old horse interrupted him: "Don't tell her yet." Su Yuan nodded. The old horse began to put on clothes.He dressed quickly, before Su Yuan put on his pants, he had already finished everything and left. So in the days that followed, Su Yuan pinched his fingers and waited for the next meeting with Lao Ma.He was anxious and excited, and somewhat worried.But nothing special happened day by day.The Japanese are actively preparing to clear the countryside in autumn, and they don't care about him. As long as there is no sick case, he will stay at "home".It's just that Mou Qing noticed that his mood was a little abnormal, he was reticent and sometimes in a daze.Mou Qing asked him what happened, but he denied it. Besides Mou Qing, there was another person who also felt that Su Yuan was unusual, and that was Military Doctor Gao Tian.Among all the Japanese, Military Doctor Takata was the one Su Yuan dealt with the most.Usually, Takata always tries to get closer to Su Yuan, besides going to Su Yuan's house for a chat, he also tries to take care of him at work.Takata speaks Chinese well, and some of his living habits are close to Chinese.However, no matter what gesture Gao Ri makes, Su Yuan always treats him indifferently.This situation has been maintained until two days before the meeting with the old enemy worker. That morning, someone from Senior Four recruited Su Yuan to the medical brigade, saying that there was a sick case for him to diagnose.Su Yuan went.But it turned out that the patient was Gao Tian himself.Gao Tian was waiting for Su Yuan in his room.He was lying on the bed, and when Su Yuan closed the door, he sat up and said to Su Yuan in Japanese: "Su Yuan-jun, there is something I have to talk to you about today, if it's too late, I'm afraid it will be too late." Su Yuan looked at Gao Tian in shock. Gao Tian said again: "Su Yuan-jun, please sit down." Su Yuan sat down on a chair and said to Gao Tian, ​​"Please speak Chinese, the senior senior captain, I don't understand Japanese." Takata smiled: "Su Yuan-jun, I know you can speak Japanese, in fact, you have proved this before." Su Yuan asked suspiciously, "What did I prove?" "You don't understand Japanese, so how can you understand and respond to me?" Takata said. Su Yuan shuddered, he knew that he had fallen into Gao Tian's trap, and he felt extremely resentful.He said nothing more. Gao Tian began to speak Chinese: "Su Yuan-jun, I can see that you are a decent intellectual. Of course, your knowledge is limited to medical science, and other things, such as lying, deceit, and treachery... These are aspects that you have never possessed in character. , On the other hand, you have not received special training, so it is difficult for you to deal with war." Su Yuan remained silent, he didn't know why the fascist military doctor said such nonsense to him.Takata picked up a cigarette from the bedside table and lit it, took a puff, and exhaled the smoke lightly.The sun shines into the room through the unpasted window lattice, illuminating the smoke from Takata indistinctly. At this moment, Su Yuan thought of Gao Tian's purpose for asking him to come, and said, "Is Captain Gao Tian sick?" Takata said, "I'm not sick." Su Yuan glanced at Gao Tian again. Gao Tian said: "I have already said that there is something I must talk to you early, and I am afraid it will be too late." Su Yuan said, "Captain Takata is leaving?" Gao Tian stared at Su Yuan: "On the contrary, it is you who is leaving, not me." Su Yuan opened his mouth and was speechless. Gao Tian smiled: "Look, Su Yuan-jun, your reaction once again confirmed my judgment." Su Yuan lowered his head, very depressed.The thought is over, everything is over, the matter between him and the old horse has been revealed, but how did Gao Tian find out?He has no way of judging, let alone how Takata and Kitano will deal with him. Gao Tian stopped laughing, his expression suddenly became serious, and said: "Su Yuan-jun, don't worry, I will not hinder you no matter what you want to do. On the contrary, if you need it, I can still help you." Su Yuan looked at Gao Tian. Gao Tian: "Does Su Yuan-kun feel strange?" Su Yuan remained silent. Takata said: "I have a lot in common with Su Yuan-kun. We were both born in a medical family and studied medicine at the university. The difference is that you were born in China, and I was born in Japan. Fortunately, although I was born in Japan, but I didn't end up being a samurai. I think it might have something to do with my deformed and broken family. My grandfather was a manufacturer, rich, but lacking in responsibility. He had three homes in Yokohama, Tokyo, and Osaka. One wife and two concubines. In our Japan, the traditional marriage is monogamy, even the emperor is no exception. But my grandfather dared to risk the world by owning three women. Of course, he didn’t dare to say anything. In the name of doing business, I travel between the three places throughout the year. My father was born to my grandfather’s official wife, so my grandfather still has great expectations for my father. He hopes that my father can learn manufacturing and inherit his business in the future. In view of his grandfather's actions, his father has always had a prejudice against his grandfather. He refused to act according to his grandfather's will, and finally chose medicine. His grandfather drove his father out of the house in a rage. Father's life path is very tortuous Yes, from a poor student to a famous ophthalmologist, he has experienced countless hardships and hardships. It is a pity that his father did not inherit his grandfather's career, but inherited his sexuality. After his career was successful, he married a wife After giving birth, I went to a pharmacist in the hospital. I ignored my mother and my brother. The misfortune of the family cast a shadow on my childhood and adolescence. Later, I did not study medicine because of my father. It was the influence of my Chinese friend’s father. My family lives in Yokohama, and there is a Chinatown in Yokohama. My home is not far from there. Since I was a child, I have made friends with some Chinese children, learned Chinese from them, and sometimes visited them Go home and eat Chinese food made by their parents. The father of one of my best Chinese children is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. When my mother became depressed, it was thanks to his meticulous treatment that he recovered. His superb medical skills have helped many poor people The Japanese cured the disease. His charge is very low, and he not only does not charge for the poor patients, but also gives away the medicine. He often said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. At first, I didn’t understand what he said. It means. Later I realized that this is a Buddhist verse. It is to persuade people to do good to save people. He said that if a person can give others two things, money and health, then giving people health is far better than giving people money. It is no exaggeration for me to say that I chose the profession of medicine because of this Chinese doctor surnamed Tang..." Su Yuan suddenly thought that his father had also told him about money and health.At this moment, a feeling of longing for relatives hits my heart spontaneously.Su Yuan respected his father, whether it was his moral character or medical skills.Doctors in the countryside are real celebrities, and those with excellent medical skills and medical ethics will live forever.Su Yuan's father Su Lao TCM doctor can be attributed to this.Speaking of it, Su’s experience of practicing medicine as a doctor is quite legendary, and it is a good story in the countryside.When he was eight years old, he had a high fever. After the high fever subsided, he became deaf. However, since then, he has understood medicine for no apparent reason, like a godsend.When I first met Duantuo, it was his own father who rescued him.That day when his father was working in the field, he suddenly fainted, and he was still unconscious when he was carried home.His mother was crying and crying, but he was calm and calm.He found a chopstick, put it against his father's middle, and pressed it down hard, like a key unlocking, his father screamed and opened his eyes.The people present were stunned. How a child could learn about this method and implement it so calmly is really surprising and puzzling.Later his father asked him, and he said that he heard someone teaching him, but he heard the voice but no one was there. He told him what to do, so he followed suit.His father was skeptical when he heard it, how could a deaf child hear the sound?Believe it or not, there is no other explanation.Once again, a person in the village was sick, and his family took him to the town to see a doctor. He saw it on the street and told people that there was no need to send him away, and he should take him home quickly.People ignored it and hurried on their way, but the patient died halfway.This yet another miracle has once again become public news.His father, Que Leng Ding, saw a bright avenue for this deaf son; to become a doctor.The son will cling to this golden rice bowl and eat for life.At that time, there was a shortage of doctors in the countryside, especially serious doctors, and there were quite a few witch doctors, all mixed together.There are few witch doctors who can really cure diseases, but many cheat and steal money, so they have a bad reputation.Old Chinese doctor Su's father was a man of insight. He was worried that the villagers would classify his son as a witch doctor from the very beginning, so he sent his son to the town to apprentice with an old Chinese medicine doctor.After studying for a few years, the old Chinese doctor died of illness, and Su Zixi, who had grown into a teenager, went back to the village to practice medicine and began his long medical career.In his life, he cured countless villagers, and his medical skills are superb and unique.Especially the treatment of some difficult diseases is quite mysterious, every sand and stone can be used as medicine, every grass and insect can be cured, which makes it difficult for people to distinguish the boundary between medicine and witches.As for whether his unique medical skills were a gift from God, or taught by an old Chinese doctor in the town, not only is it unknown to everyone, even his own father is also confused.All in all, the life of old Chinese medicine doctor Su can be regarded as a beautiful life, a life of perfect merit and virtue, and he will die without regret.Besides, he died at a very timely time. If it was later, Kitano and the Japanese soldiers would find him troublesome. Su Yuan asked, "What happened to that Doctor Tang?" Gao Tian said: "After the war broke out, the whole family moved to the countryside. Soon, I also enlisted in the army, and I have never been whereabouts since then." Su Yuan didn't ask any more questions. Takata continued: "Su Yuan-kun, now you already know something about my family and experience. As I said earlier, apart from being born in different countries, our studies and experience are roughly similar. Why should I emphasize this point? You can imagine, if the reality is not that Japan invaded China, but China invaded Japan, and if you were also drafted into the army, and you were not a doctor, but an infantry soldier with a gun, then I ask you, would you shoot us Japan? What about people? Su Yuan didn't know why Gao Tian said this to him. Gao Tian said: "You will, you will definitely. As long as you are a soldier, you cannot refuse to kill people. Killing people is a soldier's job." Su Yuan said: "Captain Takata, you are wrong, I will not kill anyone under any circumstances." Gao Tian said: "Either kill or be killed, what if you can choose between the two?" Another choice!Su Yuan thought bitterly.In his heart, choosing this word is like a whip dipped in water, which Kitano used to whip him, and now it is Takata again.This hateful choice, hateful Japanese devils! Gao Tian glanced at Su Yuan, smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. Su Yuan, please don't misunderstand. What I said is not to prove that killing is justified or inevitable, but it involves another issue: how does an ordinary person stand in the middle of a war?" .War is like a torrent of water falling from the sky, drowning all people and being involved in the vortex, and no one escapes. As a Chinese doctor, Su Yuanjun is no exception, and as a Japanese doctor, I am no exception. Back to the previous topic, Su Yuanjun Affirming that I will not kill under any circumstances, I do not want to make unreasonable judgments on this, I only say myself, if I were an infantryman or artilleryman with a gun in my hand, I think I would not be able to avoid killing people, because I refuse to fight, I will be punished The commander is executed as a cowardly fleeer. Facing the choice between life and death, only a true hero can put ideals above life. And we are all mortals, and the more mortals we cherish life, we know that this is despicable, It is destined that mortals will always look up to their heroes, and nobility is unattainable for them. This is one of them. In addition, we mortals are far away from ideals, so ideals are very blurred in our vision, which affects our true understanding of ideals. False judgments. For example, the Japanese emperor called this war the Greater East Asia Jihad, the purpose of which was to save the East Asians and realize the common prosperity of Greater East Asia. So many Japanese soldiers went abroad to fight and kill people in other countries, with the idea of ​​saving mankind How absurd and pathetic this is! But fortunately, the military doctor Takata sitting across from you was neither included in the ranks of infantry who killed people with guns, nor was he a fool who was fooled by the emperor's nonsense. Said At this point, I must once again declare to Su Yuan-kun that not all Japanese are confused and support the war launched by the emperor and the warlords. Whether it is Japanese on the battlefield in Japan or outside the mainland, there are many Japanese who oppose the war. Action. I'm one of those..." Su Yuan kept listening to Takata's words. After all, Takata was Japanese, and his limited Chinese proficiency limited the expression of his thoughts, so Su Yuan's hearing was paradoxical, but the general meaning was that he understood it.Gao Ri's statement about heroes and mortals is not so easy to refute after careful consideration. Thinking that he and his wife are still living in the Japanese barracks, doesn't this just mean that he is a mortal who cannot stand shoulder to shoulder with heroes?Acknowledging that you are mortal rather than a hero is more or less forgiving.It's just that he still doubts what Takata said later. Even if there are indeed anti-war fighters among the Japanese, will Takata be it?Not long ago, the scene of Takata shooting the Chinese on the execution ground was still fresh in Su Yuan's memory. He said, "Why did Captain Gao Ri tell me this?" Takata said: "I clarified this point at the beginning, for our cooperation." Su Yuan said, "What is the cooperation?" Takata said: "From a general point of view, it is for the early victory of China's War of Resistance, and from a specific point of view, it is to save China's anti-Japanese heroes from the guns of fascism." Su Yuan couldn't help but sneered and said, "I've seen the fact that Takata military doctor and the executioner collaborated to kill Chinese people." Takata was speechless. 苏原又说：“请教高田队长，难道这就是你说的日本反战者干的勾当吗？” 高田叹了口气，说：“苏原君，我知道要得到你的信任是很困难的，但是我理解你的心情。这样吧，我带你去看一个人。” "Who?" “等见了你自己询问吧，反正现在我说什么你都不会相信的。” 小城的夜晚是宁静的，黑暗掩埋了一切，使整个城镇失去了轮廓。如果不是城四周堡垒透出的灯光犹如凶神恶煞的眼光监视着这块地面，简直使人难以相信这是战争岁月。 苏原对小城的街区很不熟悉，何况又是不见星月的夜晚，跟高田三转两拐就迷了路。他渐渐觉得这是高田有意达到的效果。他问高田要把他带到哪里去，高田说你不必多问，知道太多对你对我都没有益处。 高田对北野说了谎，这一点苏原是知道的。天黑之前高田将他带到北野的司令部，北野正在和一个军官下围棋。那军官是苏原在刑场上见到的那个尖下巴少尉。高田和苏原先站在旁边看了一会儿，苏原曾于业余时间钻研过围棋弃法，从技艺上说差不多已经入段。只看了几着，苏原便看出两人棋艺平平。当看到北野明显投错一子时，他不由自主地“哦”了声。这一声便引起北野的注意，他转头看看苏原，说苏原君有高明之着？苏原慌乱中向高田投去一瞥，高田忙将北野这句其实已被高原听明白了的话翻译出来，苏原连连摇头。北野笑笑，说改日和苏原君对奕一局。高田又翻译出来，苏原仍然摇头。这时高田便向北野报告，说刚听说城里出现痢疾病例，他要和苏原去查看一下，采取措施，否则在城里蔓延起来，殃及部队，后果严重。北野挥挥手算是应允，高田便赶紧带苏原出了司令部。苏原从高田对北野的欺骗似乎觉出他是日军里一个神秘人物。 高田终于在一条短街的一幢瓦屋前停下。他警惕地向四下看看，没发现异常，便踏上台阶敲了几下门。等会儿里面传出脚步声，随之听一个男人沙哑的本地口音：从集上割肉回来了吗？高田回应：没割肉买了鱼。里面男人的声音：买的什么鱼？高田回应：偏口鱼。苏原觉得这回答很古怪，高田何曾去集上买回什么偏口鱼？ 门开后，显出一个矮小身影。暗中看不清面目，但苏原能分辨出是个上岁数的老人。高田和苏原走进院子，门又被关上了。屋门是敞着的，里面有微弱的灯光。高田和苏原走进屋后，那老人便在外面将门关严，自己留在院里。 穿过堂间走进右侧的一间住屋，苏原看见一个青年人斜倚在被窝里。油灯下，他的脸色极其惨白，像糊上一张白纸，由此也显出一副清朗模样。青年人见了高田连忙欠身招呼说：“恩人来了？”说完又将目光转向苏原。高田介绍说：他是你的同胞，是医生，今天请他给你看看伤口。你这几天感觉怎样？ ”青年人说：“愈来愈好，伤口已收了疤。 " 青年人脱下上衣，苏原见他的胸部缠绕着纱布，纱布很干净，没有血迹。苏原看了高田一眼，便走近炕沿，伸手在青年身上一层一层往下解纱布，当纱布完全脱下来后，他看到青年人的左胸上有一块鸡蛋大小的圆疤，这位置让苏原惊讶不已，他问道：“是枪伤吗？”青年人说是。苏原又问子弹是从前还是从后射进去的？青年人说从背后。苏原又让青年人转身让他看，果然看到一块比胸部那块略小些的疤痕。从前后这两处对应的伤口看，子弹无疑穿过了心脏，而这个青年人竟没有死，真是不可思议。 高田说：“他是被日本人枪决的，那时候你我都在现场。” 苏原吃惊地瞪大眼：“你说什么？” 高田说：“你应该记得的，那个村庄那次夜袭，第二天白天五个中国老百姓做为嫌疑犯拉到村外河堤上枪决……” 这件事苏原一辈子都不会忘记。 他转向青年人问道：“你就是被日本人枪决的人吗？” 青年人说：“是。” 他又问：“那你怎么又活过来的呢？” 青年人指指高田，说：“是恩人救了我。” 苏原质疑地看看高田。 青年人又说：“枪响后我什么都不知道了，醒过来看见的头一个人便是为我治伤的恩人。” 苏原问高田：“他说的都是真的吗？” 高田说：“我已对你说过，我是反战的日本人。” 苏原说：“我不是指这个，我是说他真的是从枪口下活过来的？” 高田说：“正是这样。” 苏原不语。 高田说：“我知道你还不相信我，是啊，一个深晓人体构造的医生怎能相信子弹穿过心脏而未导致死亡？问题是子弹没有穿过心脏，是擦着心脏下端的边缘穿胸而过，就这样。” 苏原紧盯着高田：“你是说射手的瞄准出现偏差？” 高田摇头说：“日本兵个个枪法很好，又隔那样近，哪会出什么偏差呢？” 苏原说：“可你刚才不是说没有击中心脏？” 高田没立即回答，他说：“这个问题我们另找时间谈吧，我们不能在这里呆得太久。” 高田转向青年人说：“你的伤已经不需要再治疗了，今晚是我们的最后一面。尽管你不知道我的名字，我也不问你的名字，可我们俩是有缘份的。你说是吗？” 青年人眼里聚了泪，在灯光下闪亮，他说：“我一辈子都不会忘记你的救命之恩。” 高田伸手拍拍青年人的肩，声音低沉地说：一不要说这样的话，日本人杀死的中国人无计其数，罪恶深重，我所做的不能弥补其万一啊！ " 苏原的心被高田的话触动，可他没说什么，只是向青年人问道：“你要回自己的村子吗？” 青年人摇摇头，说：“我已经回不去了，村里人都知道我被日本人枪毙了，我已经'死'了……” 苏原一怔，又问：“那你又能到哪里去呢？” 青年人说：“我想好了，我要去参加抗日队伍，打日本鬼子。日本人刚打过来的时候，村里许多青年人都投奔了抗日队伍。我没去，我胆子小，心想老百姓万般不如个平安。可想平安日本鬼子不给平安。那天夜里听见枪响我连大门都没敢出，日本鬼子硬是说我给抗日队伍通风报信，拉到村外去枪毙。'死'了一回，我现在倒不怕死了，真的不怕了，你信不信？” 走在街上，苏原耳畔仍回响着那个死而复生的青年人的话：死了一回，我现在倒不怕死了，你信不信？他不知道该信还是不该信，因为他没像他那样“死”过一回。可是在内心，他倒真的希望能像青年人那样死去一次，用死洗刷尽身上的屈辱，然后迎来心中企盼的涅槃。 北野弈棋时卜乃堂翻译官正在隔壁，他听见高田向北野报告要和苏原一起去查看痢疾，顿时暗喜。他喜的并非痢疾而是苏原的妻子牟青，他想趁苏原不在时到她那儿去。 也许唯有汉奸卜乃堂心里明白：当初他坚持将并非是医生将苏原的妻子一起带走完全是出于一种秘不可宣的目的。在苏原家中，他看见了苏原年轻妻子那楚楚动人的容颜，这容颜叫他怦然心动，不能自己。他非常清楚自己：如果说这世上确有某种诱惑可令他行善或作恶，那唯有女色。他对女色趋之若鹜，却带有某种病态，这病态的表现便是挑剔。不仅一般女子不能使他入目，哪怕再娇艳的女子他也能一眼便看出暇疵，在长期浊居日军军营的压抑岁月里，像这般对一个陌生女子动心并生出歧念，实为罕见。每当慰安妇来到军营，日军将士便如同迎来节日般欢呼雀跃，争先恐后进去发泄一通。他却漠然以置。他虽是中国人，北野也给予他与日本人同样的待遇，可对于异国女子，他在心理上难以接纳。那种地方他只去过一回。即使这唯一的一回他也没做成什么事情。他觉得那个清秀的日本女子下巴有些短促，这美中不足便使他如鲠在喉。他没有进一步动作，也没有说话，只是漫不心地看着那女人一件一件从身上往下脱衣，当脱得干净了，他丢下张票子便走了出来。日本兵可以将任何一个遇见的中国女人的裤子剥下来奸淫，事实上他也有机会这么干，但这种事他确实没有干过。他那干枯的心田似乎在等候一个雨露般女人的浇灌。而当他看见苏原的妻子时便蓦然意识到这个期待已久的女子终于出现在面前。这是一个天赐良机，不可错过。他清楚，如果这次擦肩而过，怕今生再也不会得到这样可心的女子了。于是他努力说服高田军医将这个女人与他的丈夫一并带走。 自随北野到莱阳驻守的三个多月中，他心里每时每刻都惦着那个让他倾慕的女人。但他并不崇尚纯精神的柏拉图式恋情。他是个性格孤僻的人，这种人对事物总有某种程度的偏执。在学校读书时，学校每周举行一次舞会，教职员工和大年级学生视为节日。而他一次也不参加。他有自己的“理论”，认为男女以跳舞的方式调情是对人精神的亵渎，是卑琐虚伪的情感窃求。男女之间的关系要么无爱无缘旁同路人，要么有爱有缘灵与肉二者完全结合，非此即波。也许正是这种极端的情爱观点导致他至今孑然一身。 司令部与苏原夫妻住处一街之隔，卜乃堂一撂脚就过去。别看这么方便，可平时单独见牟青一面也很不容易。做为北野的翻译，他必须紧随其左右。只在北野不需要他时才有一点自由。 卜乃堂敲了门。 只要丈夫不在家，牟青总是在里面插上门栓。有人敲门先问明是何人，然后告之丈夫不在家。她不轻易开门，今番听到是卜乃堂的声音，她迟疑了一下，还是将门开了。尽管她对他十分鄙视，可她总不能忘刑场上他为她遮挡的那一幕，她领他一份情，一份既辨不清颜色又说不出味道的情。 进屋后卜乃堂显得有些拘谨，很不自然，坐得很规矩，也不说话。待沉默了一会儿后，他才镇定些了。他先向牟青询问了一些日常琐事，表示无论她有什么困难他都会全力相助。之后他又告诉说司令部有人要去青岛，如她有家书或物品可让去人携带，他来负责安排。牟青摇摇头。自从奔丧被日本人劫持，至，今还与家人不通音信，她不想将目前的处境告诉家里亲人，怕他们担心，也不愿叫他们背上汉奸家属的名声。她只想能和丈夫早日逃出日本人掌心，为自己和家人争得清白。 想到家，她的心情又一下子变得沉重。 又是沉默，良久，卜乃堂又说：“秋季清乡就要开始，又要有许多中国人被杀。” 这话说得有些莫名其妙，牟青一怔，继而愤愤地想：还不是你们这些汉奸和日本人狼狈为奸才使那么多中国人被杀？你姓卜的怎有脸说出这种话？ ! 大概卜乃堂从年青的表情也猜出她内心所想，看出她对自己的愤懑，便叹口气说：“牟青，我知道你看不起我，把我看成是个没品性的人，可你知道，世上许多事情是说不清楚的……” 牟青反诘道：“包括给日本人当汉奸这种事情吗？” 卜乃堂闷闷回答：“包括。” 牟青吃惊地抬眼向他一望。 卜乃堂的声音仍然低哑：“我们都算有文化的人，文化能使人将事物看得透彻，能使人挣脱主观的束缚。不是吗？只说汉奸，既然被称之为奸，便肯定不为优良，用什么恶语咒骂都不为过。可是话说回来，当汉奸的也不是我卜乃堂一个，既然都知道汉奸不光彩，像臭狗屎，可为什么还有那么多人就当这臭狗屎呢？真的说不清楚。你不妨想一想，自从日本人打到中国，中国迅速形成一个非常的庞大汉奸队伍，而德国人打到欧洲，欧洲人投靠变节的人就很少，这究竟是什么因素在起作用呢？不排除德国人和日本人的区别，德国人傲慢骄纵，刚愎自用，不屑于借助于外力，不鼓励投降变节；而日本人狡猾、圆通，他们惯于招降纳叛。但归根结底，中国能形成这样庞大的汉奸队伍是有着自身的深刻原因。可以追溯历史，也可以通观现实，中国作为一个国家，无论历朝历代的帝王，还是当今的各路军阀，都是极其自私自利的极权者，'国'只为他们所有，国人只被视为奴仆，任其盘剥，任其宰杀，毫无半点悯惜之情。国民永远处于可怜无助的境地。于是国家、民族的概念早在国民心中扭曲、变质，甚至逆化为敌对物而存在。从这个意义上来说，国民已沦为无国之民。无论谁来谁去，姓张姓李，中国人还是日本人，皆无区别。老百姓只是要生活，要饭吃，'民以食为天'这是中国人最认的一条真理。”卜乃堂将这套“汉奸合理论”说得头头是道，有理有据，使她觉得既新奇又不可思议，不可否认，这当间有她能够认同的地方，如对国民精神状况的概述；也有她不能认同的地方：他作出的结论。她觉得作为一个中国人尽管不幸，处境悲惨，但总是不可以做亡国奴的。日本人在中国的桩桩罪行不足以证实了这一点？卜乃堂的“理论”显然是偏执的，是为自己来辩护，况且，这些话从他这样一个真本实料的汉奸嘴里吐出来，就变了味道。 卜乃堂两眼直直地盯着油灯如豆的光焰，似思索又像在发呆，过了一会儿，他才说：“至于我自己，我投日本人的原因很具体，不是为生计而是为报仇。我父亲是叫中国人杀死的，一个军阀旅长。那时我家住在吉林，父亲是个邮差，一次送信，自行车不小心撞在这个旅长的吉普车上，碎玻璃划破旅长的脸，他火冒三丈，硬是给我父亲派个日本奸细罪名，开枪将父亲打死。埋葬了父亲，我就找他报仇。日本人从满洲里开到吉林，那伙军阀逃到了关内，他们口口声声抗日，日本人就在关外，而你们却跑到关里。那时我报仇心切，一怒之下就投了日本人。我断定日本人迟早要打进关内，我就可以借助日本人找那个狗日的旅长报仇。父亲的奸细罪名是强加给他的，我的这顶汉奸帽子是自己扣在头上的……” 年青觉得从卜乃堂嘴里讲出来的事情总是那么不可捉摸，似是而非。她觉得他是个怪人，神经兮兮。 她说：“你为什么要和我说这些呢？只是告诉我你当汉奸当得很合理？” "no." "what is that?" 卜乃堂直直地盯着牟青：“我只是想让你知道我不是坏人……” 牟青一怔：你这话又奇怪，你要我知道你不是坏人又有什么意义呢？ " “有。”卜乃堂说，“你，你占了我的心……” 牟青惊讶不已。她向卜乃堂望去，忽然觉得他的模样很怪异，他的眼珠几乎瞪出了眼眶，就像手术台上将死的病人努力向世界投最后一瞥。她觉得可怕极了。 “你，你是个不平凡的女子，”卜乃堂说，“在苏家泊头次见到你，我一眼就看出你的……不凡，唉，你看我又用了不凡这字眼，男人对他倾慕的女人总是不知该怎样形容……” 牟青总算明白自己面临着什么了，顿时一股恼恨升上心头，她不能容忍这个真本实料汉奸如此亵渎自己。她愤愤说：“我不要再听你说什么啦，你走吧！” 卜乃堂不动身。 “走吧，以后不要再来。”牟青说。 卜乃堂抬头看看牟青，不无怨恨地说：“你，你嫌弃我给日本人做事，可你丈夫不也同样吗？” 牟青一下子呆了。 “我丈夫和你一样？”她像问卜乃堂，又像自问。 “就是。”卜乃堂又说。 “你胡说！”牟青几乎在吼，“你和我们不一样，你是心甘情愿给日本人干事，我们……是被迫的，这个你清楚的……” 看来卜乃堂执意要将自己和牟青还有她的丈夫苏原绑在一起，这样才能和他们的“地位”摆平。他说：“自愿也好，被迫也好，其实是没区别的，麦季清乡后，抗日队伍已将苏医生列入汉奸的行列了……” 牟青哭了，哭得很厉害。卜乃堂的话戳在她的心窝上，她边哭边嚷：“我们不是汉奸，我们和你不一样，我们要逃的，我们迟早要逃出去的……” 卜乃堂很后悔不该将话说得太重，同时也清楚今晚不会再有进展了，送起身恋恋不舍走出这“不凡”女人的家。 回到高田军医的住处，高田开始对苏原讲述。他说：“我将这种从刑场上秘密抢救中国人生命的试验定名为'生命通道'计划，顾名思义，就是当前提为胸部枪杀时，为子弹提供一条不会致人于死地的安全通道。然后进行抢救。我不知道当今世界有没有另外一位医生从事这项研究，而我对这一计划进行研究是纯偶然的。那是到中国战场不久，一次，我所在的通化混成第一宪兵队在临江县抓到十几名抗日游击队员，稍事审讯便执行了枪决。那是一个黄昏时分，宪兵枪手杀了人便撤回了营房，第二天天亮掩埋时却发现少了一具尸体。报告给宪兵队古川队长，这个杀人不眨眼的军佐闻听火冒三丈，立刻命令部下全力搜索这个竟然能从他枪口下逃生的中国人，宪兵找到一行由刑场通向外面的血迹，还有人爬行留下的痕迹，便断定是那个中国人留下来的。宪兵循着清晰可辩的标记向前追踪，大约追出三、四里路光景，发现那个逃出的人躺在地上，已经死了，身边注了一大摊血。也许宪兵们出于'交差'的考虑，将这具尸体运了回来，撂在宪兵队院内。我就是这时候看见的这个中国人，他看上去很年轻，脸上还没长出胡须。他身上的衣裳已被血浸透，左胸的枪击日清晰可见，形如一朵紫鸡冠花。大概出于一个医生的本能思维，我头脑中立刻跳出一个疑问：这个年轻中国人为什么遭枪杀却没有立即死去？是他有一颗特别强健的心脏，还是子弹压根儿就没将他的心脏击穿？反正二者必居其一。这一想法使我自己的心脏激烈跳动起来。尽管那时我还不十分明确以后我将有什么目标，可于直觉中，我感到遇上了一个非常奇妙而重大的研究课题。我决定开始行动。我去请示古川队长，说我要对这个中国人进行医学解剖，找到这个中国人迟死的原因，以防止今后有类似事故的发生。'事故'是一个古怪字眼，医生没能将人救活可称其为事故，而一个刽子手没能将人一下子杀死也同样可称其为事故。后来我想肯定是这个古怪的字眼损害了古川队长的自尊心，所以才那么痛快地答应了我的要求。我将这个中国人尸体搬到我的手术室里，开始进行解剖。我不许任何人留在我身旁。我先向这个死去的中国战士深鞠三个躬，这是替我罪孽深重的国家向死难的中国人谢罪，也是为我自己又将令他再受创伤而深表歉意。我就是在这样一种复杂的心理下进行完解剖过程。解剖结果证实了我判断的后者：子弹没有击中心脏，子弹擦着心脏下沿飞出体外，就是说这个中国战士没立即死去是由于枪手射击的偏差。他最终死于失血过多。这个结果十分奇妙地使我产生出另外一种联想：假若当时能立即将他从刑场上撤出并进行抢救， 这不就可以挽救他的生命了吗？答案无疑是肯定的。那么由此再进行一种反向思维：如果事先能给出射手一个错误的导向，使其射出的子弹小心翼翼的躲过心脏去，那么这种拯救生命的行为不就变被动为主动了吗？这一思维便是我的'生命通道'计划于理论上的开端。这一计划事实上包括两个方面的研究，一是找到这条神奇的安全通道，二是对抢救出来的人进行有效的止血以及止血之后全部恢复治疗。相比之下，对前者的探寻重要而艰巨，因为即使这条通道事实上存在着那必定是十分狭窄，除却要避过心脏还须避过左胸其他重要器官。另外，子弹的入口在前胸或后背这两种情况又会致使这条通道发生相应的'位移'，只要出现一丝一毫的偏差
