Chapter 53 Chapter 52 Bloody Files

The name of "Old Wood" is Tu Yilin.But few people remember his "rectification of name", no one has ever called him that, everyone calls him Lao Mu. The predecessor of Peking Union Medical College was the "Concord Medical School" founded by the Anglo-American Church in 1906.The school has an affiliated hospital that only accepts male patients and a nursing school that only accepts male patients.At that time, no one wanted to be a male nurse. The boys in nursing school were all from poor families, and Tu Yilin was the same.He was born in the 17th year of Guangxu, became the first student of the nursing school at the age of 15, graduated in 1909 at the age of 18, and stayed in the affiliated hospital as a male nurse with dreadlocks.The Peking Union Medical College was acquired by the Rockefeller Foundation and merged into the newly established Union Medical College in 1917. Tu Yilin continued to work as a male nurse in the affiliated Union Medical College Hospital, and everything from technical to dirty work became his job.Nurses in Xiehe are treated better regardless of gender, but Tu Yilin is still poor for a long time because of his heavy family burden.This "family burden" is not his wife and children, but his elderly and frail parents, his nearly hundred-year-old grandmother and an idiot brother alone.He was overwhelmed, unable to marry at all, and was fifty-one years old when the Pacific War broke out and was still celibate.External pressure combined with self-enclosed depression made him taciturn, often silent for several days, and his personality was extremely withdrawn and introverted; over time, his appearance gradually became "distorted", becoming rough and ugly, and even his name was misunderstood by many people. forget.Because of this, he got the nickname "Ga Ximodo", and was half-jokingly called "Lao Mo" by some people, and gradually became "Old Wood".

After Xiehe was forcibly occupied by the Japanese, "Lao Mu" was kicked out, and he had to do some meddling things by carrying peddlers around the streets. His spine was injured, his left shin was broken, he came out of prison crippled and bent, and his whole family starved to death.He only had half of the dilapidated house left, and his family was completely bare, and his situation was even more miserable. Later, he went to beg along the street... Back then in Xiehe, Ye Yuhan often asked Lao Mu about his family, and gave him some money from time to time.After the war, Ye Yuhan returned to Beiping, and when he participated in the discussion on the resumption of the school, he suggested that Lao Mu should be brought back.Sure enough, someone accused Lao Mu of being a thief.The female doctor summed it up in one sentence: Even if this happened, it was forced out.It should be known that Lao Mu stayed in Xiehe for thirty-five years before the war. Although his family was extremely poor, he never had any bad records.Ye Yuhan also argued that Lao Mu was kind, loyal, fluent in English, proficient in business, and familiar with ward management. Although he was disabled, he could guide young nurses well.The female doctor also put forward a very interesting reason: Lao Mu is the only "old Xiehe" who is "old" to such a degree. He is the most "old" veteran of Xiehe. The "Concord Spirit", and so on.

In fact, such a "concord spirit" has never been officially declared.But Ye Yuhan's suggestion was passed.Concord will take back the old wood once it resumes school.Kehe has never resumed school.It happened that Ye Yuhan was planning to build the SB-1 laboratory and urgently needed manpower, so he thought of Lao Mu.What can he do?Doctor Ye invited a chief engineer and a professor of microbiology from the old Concord as consultants, let a construction factory in Peiping manage the house garden repair, and an American instrument company in charge of the purchase, installation and commissioning of laboratory equipment, and hired a group of workers to guard The gate inspects the construction site to keep equipment——Doctor Ye makes Lao Mu the leader of this group of workers.Lao Mu is articulate and taciturn, but he does his duty with all his heart and lives in Jinyuan.

As the weather got hotter and hotter, Ye Yuhan became more irritable and thought of Lao Mu more.In the blink of an eye, it has been a week since I met Lu Ning, and it has been a full month since I left Jin Yuan.At the beginning, she installed a telephone in the concierge and office in Jinyuan, and planned to install another switchboard and fifty extensions when the project was completed.But since she left Jinyuan, it was inconvenient for her to ask about the affairs there, and she knew nothing about the situation.I don't know what to do now.That night, she calmed down and tried to call Jin Yuan's concierge: "Hello—"

"Doctor Ye? Hello, I'm Lao Mu." "Ah, Lao Mu!" The workers will be dismissed after the project is over, and I don't know what will happen to Lao Mu.Now, Ye Yuhan took a deep breath: "It's great, you're still in Jinyuan." "The workers have been sent away one by one," Lao Mu said to Doctor Ye not in a dull manner, on the contrary, he articulated clearly, "There are three people left including me, and it looks like they won't be here for long." Ye Yuhan was stunned.Jinyuan cannot live without workers!Are porters, drivers, boiler workers, cleaners, and animal breeders also imported from the United States?

"Don't take this matter to heart! I have earned so much money in the past six months, enough to last for a while, and Xiehe will resume school soon." Ye Yuhan thought for a while: "How do you get along with them and those Americans?" "It's hard to talk about getting along. I'm like a machine, I only work, I don't talk, I can't say a few words a day, sometimes I don't say a word for a few days..." "Your English is very fluent!" "I don't even speak Chinese, let alone English. They don't even know that I can speak English, and they gesture when they have something to do. They may think I'm a deaf-mute."

Ye Yuhan thought about it again: "How many Americans are here?" "There are already more than a dozen people, and it is said that twenty or thirty more will come. In addition to doctoral professors, there are also technicians." "Did the United States send them a letter?" "No. It may have been sent to where they live." "Where do they live?" "Maybe it's Yenching University, or it's Dongjiaomin Lane or Liuguo Hotel. There are buses to pick you up every day." Ye Yuhan paused for a while: "Who are you with now?"

"I didn't follow anyone. At night, I guarded the gatehouse by myself and went on patrol." "You are the only one in the whole Viola Garden?" "For now." "Is the laboratory still applicable?" This is the most concerned thing for female doctors. "It seems that it has not been officially opened yet. American cars come in and out every day, and they have been busy delivering things here." "Even installed three electron microscopes, the equipment is complete enough. What else is missing?" "I don't know. Anyway, they brought in a lot of large and small boxes, large and small bags, opened them up and moved the contents into each building, and they were still busy in the house without letting others interfere. The third floor of the F building The professor’s dormitory was unoccupied, so the doors and windows were installed with iron bars, locked, and made into wards, which are even more luxurious than the first-class wards in Xiehe back then!”

"Ward?" Ye Yuhan was stunned.What is the purpose of setting up a ward in this kind of laboratory?Moreover, why is it located in Building F?Ye Yuhan imitated Xiehe, and named the houses in Jinyuan Garden according to the English letters A, B, C, D, etc. Most of them are old and solid one-story houses and two-story buildings, only the F building is a three-story building built by the Japanese. , with a basement and a dedicated small garden; it is far away from the laboratory, boiler room and animal room, away from noise and "bacteria and viruses" to the greatest extent.Therefore, according to Ye Yuhan's request, the main functions of Building F are entertainment, rest and residence.On the third floor after reconstruction, there are several suites of different sizes, with balconies, living rooms and washrooms, which are used by "high-ranking" scientists; even if there are no doctors and professors living there, they are not "wards" anyway—— Not only does Building F have no wards, but the entire Panthera Garden does not.The reason is simple: this is not a hospital.If it is intended to double as a hospital or an attached ward, why did Dr. Czerny never say a single word?Ye Yuhan recalled the change in Lu Ning's expression when he heard about "SLR Foundation" and "Laboratory", and became vigilant.She thought for a while and said, "Old Mu, I want to come and have a look."

"When, now?" "Now." "It's best now! I was thinking so, but I didn't dare to speak." It was already late at night when Ye Yuhan got off the rickshaw at the entrance of Dongchang Hutong. As if "heart-to-heart", as soon as he walked to Jinyuan, he was about to knock on the door, and the small door wrapped in iron opened quietly... "Oh," Lao Mu apologized, "it's so late, you're all alone..." "I'm someone who has been on the battlefield!" Ye Yuhan smiled. Lao Mu locked the small door, took out a bunch of keys from somewhere, held a flashlight, hunched over, limped, walked with difficulty, and led the female doctor to the courtyard.The path paved with blue bricks meanders in the night, and there are several cast iron lampposts standing on both sides, and the antique lamps overflow with a dim yellow luster...

Although the SB-1 sparrow is small, it has a power plant, a high-pressure boiler room, a water softening plant, a thousand-distillation gas generator, a laughing gas room, an ice-making room, a laundry room, a garage, an animal shed, a water tower, a library, and a printing press. Room, drafting room, fasting room, electrical and mechanical repair office, etc., even animal carcasses incinerators are not lacking.The power plant is hidden deep underground to reduce vibration and noise as much as possible. It also needs to output 110 volts for lighting, cooling water pumps, hot water pumps, deep water pumps, experimental pumps, drinking water pumps, and pneumatic and electric pumps for sewage removal. Two hundred and twenty volts for pumps and refrigeration tanks.Even the pipes are divided into ten types: cold water, hot water, cold drinking water, cold salty water, gas, compressed air, vacuum, sterilizing steam, heating, sewage... The technical requirements here are both superb and special, and it would be impossible to bring them to the United States. Not inferior! Ye Yuhan didn't explain what she came to "see", and Lao Mu didn't ask her what she wanted to "see".There seems to be a tacit understanding.The female doctor didn't say a word, just followed Lao Mu and finally came to the H building.Stepping up the steps, Lao Mu turned on the light on the top of the hall, took out the key, and opened the hall door.According to her design, the upper floor of this two-story building is the library, and the lower floor is the printing room and drawing room.She asked, "What are they using Building H for?" "Let's take a look." Lao Mu replied. The second floor is used as a library and reading room. Ye Yuhan specially ordered many bookshelves, tables and chairs.Now, the bookshelves, tables and chairs are all there, but there are no books and periodicals.When Lao Mu pushed open the door of the reading room and turned on the light, Ye Yuhan opened his eyes wide: the floor in the corner of the room was full of unpacked packing boxes, and scattered boards, corrugated paper, ropes and nails were everywhere.A reading table slightly larger than a ping-pong table is surrounded by black folders of varying thickness, forming a neat "square array"... "What are these?" Ye Yuhan looked at the "phalanx". "Look at it." Lao Mu still said the same thing. Even these black file folders are American and custom-made, with the words "SLR" stamped on the cover; beautifully made, leather case, the title and executive summary printed in English on the cover insert label, and the inner spine The spring clips can be used to secure paper files.Those things on the cover provided Ye Yuhan with convenience.A topic first caught her attention: "1855 Troops (Peking)"—what does this mean?She flipped through it and found a large number of documents in both English and Japanese, with the words "Union Medical College" appearing in many places.How did this "1855 Troop" get involved with Xiehe?She walked around the big table, inspected most of the labels and flipped through some of the documents, only to realize that they were all summaries of Japanese archival materials, which were researched and extracted by American experts from SB-1. Some material was also reproduced... The words "Peking Biological Products Factory" in the file first caught Ye Yuhan's attention—this was a vaccine factory built by the Central Epidemic Prevention Department of the Chinese government in the west gate of the Temple of Heaven in Beiping in the early 1930s.When Ye Yuhan was in Xiehe in the 1930s, she had a lot of contacts with the factory.The archives record that after the "July 7th Incident", the Japanese army immediately occupied the factory and formed a bacterial force named "1855" accordingly, expanded the ground, built barracks, water and electricity systems, and more than a hundred studios, There are more than 70 small animal rooms and a large underground cold storage for storing various strains of bacteria; it also records the situation after the "1855 Troop" occupied the Union Medical College on the second day after the outbreak of the Pacific War, with work logs, experiments Records, photos, and movies record the development of bacterial weapons, human experiments and dissections of this bacterial force in Xiehe... There is a roster of 1855 troops in the file. The name "Ishii Shiro" is impressive, and his identity is "technical director".There is also a record that the 1855 troops sent 172 "Chinese apes" to Japan - many "scholars" and "professors" in Japan's "Army Medical College" could not come to China for various reasons, so there was no "living body" test" opportunity.The 1855 Troop undertook the task of providing "experimental materials" to the school.Known as "apes," these Chinese were sent to the school for bacterial injections and viral infections, then dissected; or skinned alive (for burns), harvested for organs, and used by young surgeons to "practice their knives." One material proudly described the "world's first metropolitan bacterial weapon test" conducted by the Japanese: "Showa eighteen years", that is, the 32nd year of the Republic of China, the 1855 troops planned to attack Beiping. A large number of cholera bacteria were injected into the wells, which successfully created the "great achievement" of the cholera epidemic in Beiping from September to November of that year: as of the end of October, a total of 2,136 cholera patients were found in Beiping City, of which 1,800 died Seventy-two people, ninety-two people died on the road... Emperor Hirohito was originally a "biologist", and it was he who issued a secret order to develop, test and use bacterial weapons in China.In the material, the Japanese North China Dispatched Army presented a copy of the "test report" to "His Majesty the Emperor" and cheered: "(The Peking cholera test) has a mortality rate of 90.62%, which is enough to prove the amazing lethality of this weapon, and it is also enough to prove that His majesty's wise and holy judgment!" The archives also record in a ostentatious style the "brilliant record" of the Japanese army dropping germ bombs on Yiwu, Ningbo, Quzhou, Changde and Luxi areas hundreds of times since the early 1940s, killing and injuring a large number of Chinese soldiers and civilians. Ye Yuhan then flipped through more than a dozen such black files.Their titles are "Unit 731 (Harbin)", "Unit 100 (Changchun)", "Unit 1644 (Nanjing)", "Unit 1828 (Guangzhou)", "Unit 100" Seven Forces (Singapore)"... The Americans "deciphered" the codes commonly used by the various bacterial units of the Japanese army in all their documents and reports.The Japanese call the experimental subjects "models", mice "cakes", guinea pigs "pears", rabbits "mantou", monkeys "bananas", fleas "millet", and living people "millet". "Ape", and so on.On the "Experimental Subject Entry and Exit List" of the 1855 Army, there were as many as 263 "apes" as statistics.And with Ishii Shiro as the commander, the 731 Unit formed after the "September 18th Incident" used the most "apes", as many as 3,707 "apes"!Among them, the Chinese are called "Chinese apes", and the Soviets are called "long-haired apes"; people from other countries are called "yellow-haired apes" by yellow people, and "white-haired apes" by white people.After the outbreak of the Pacific War, thirteen U.S. prisoners of war were regarded as "white-haired apes" because of their "anthropological" significance, and were sent thousands of miles away to the 731 Unit for "living experiments."All "apes" were forced to inject or take bacteria or viruses or apply such poisons to their wounds. Without exception, they all died in severe pain, and their bodies were used for autopsy.The Japanese often take the above process into photos or movies for "appreciation" or as "teaching materials". There are a large number of photos attached to each file, which are the exterior scenes, interior scenes, and work photos of laboratories, anatomy rooms or studios of various bacterial troops. Among them are many photos of "in vivo experiments". Under the knife".In one photo, the Japanese soldiers looked at a vertical tank-type equipment—Ye Yuhan saw that it was a Petri dish.The description has typical Japanese arrogance: "Cholera bacteria petri dish. It is 2 meters high, 1.5 meters long, and 0.8 meters wide. The cholera bacteria cultivated in it are enough to kill all human beings in the world at once." On some photos It is all kinds of "Ishii bombs", that is, bacterial bombs... The archives reflect that the Japanese were far more interested in plague than in cholera.This is because the plague is far worse than cholera.Instructions and documents are full of words such as "produce 1,000 kilograms of fleas", "urgently need 5,000 rats", "send 500 kilograms of cow blood meal, and 100 kilograms of human blood meal"-blood meal is the feed of fleas, and fleas It is used to cultivate Yersinia pestis.Ye Yuhan knew about "blood powder", but she didn't expect there to be "human blood powder"! ... The folder in front of me is black.But Ye Yuhan now feels that this black is mixed with scarlet, dark red, deep red, ocher red, and blood red, and there is a strong smell of blood gushing out!She was dripping with cold sweat, her heart was trembling, and the golden flowers in front of her eyes were dangling, and she fell forward...
