Chapter 1347 Human Skin
Fukushima not only died, but also died in front of his wife, mother, and children.

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

Yes, at the beginning, it was just like Fang Linyan predicted: the organization that Fukushima belonged to refused to be led by the nose, and chose to attack by force.

And the radical faction in these armies, the representatives of the young and strong faction, must have the strength to do this.

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

Just like when Iraq had the strength to beat Kuwait back then, in the end Iraqi President Saddam Hussein ended up being killed as a war criminal
The young and strong faction sent people to rescue Fukushima's family. The ideal situation was to successfully save people and capture Dongxiangi's ironclad evidence.

However, when rescuing the hostages, the people sent out by the Young Zhuang Sect only made a good start and successfully killed a few of the men sent by Dongxiangjing, but when they rescued the hostages, something went wrong.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the samurai who grabbed Fukushima's daughter directly used the child to block the knife.

If the young warriors who attacked him stopped, they would be counter-killed, and he could only strike down coldly!Its intention is very simple, that is to kill the hostage first with this knife, and then kill the hostage-taker if the momentum is not weakened!
From this person's point of view, this move is understandable, but for Fukushima, it was unbearable pain, so at this time he rushed forward to block the knife, but he was hit directly, and the hostage Taking advantage of the situation, he counterattacked, killed the warrior who came to the rescue, and ran away.

When Lamin left, Fukushima hadn't died yet, but considering the current level of medical treatment, the injury he received was almost equivalent to an early declaration of death.

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

What's even better is that according to his information, after the Young Men faction heard the ending, there were obvious internal rifts and fierce quarrels broke out.

After grasping the first-line information, Fang Linyan looked at the progress bar of the war and found that the Chinese side's winning rate had actually increased by 0.081%. Even more violent than imagined.

After confirming that his daughter was fine, Fukushima held on and performed seppuku, finally fulfilling his last wish in life:
Withered like cherry blossoms, and finally invited his friend Kojima to come over after hearing the news.

Jiecuo means to serve as an assistant to seppuku. If a samurai feels the pain is unbearable during seppuku, he often asks the assistant to cut off his head to end his suffering.

This position is special in Japanese culture, as it is a rather honorable thing for the person entrusted with the execution of the mediation.

Generally speaking, those who need seppuku will find one of their closest friends, family members, brothers or someone who is skilled in swordsmanship to perform it.

But by the way, beheading is also a technical job, especially under the premise that most of the wrong people have never done it. Don't talk about beheading, friends who have cooked should know that they want to chop ribs at home It's hard to put.

When the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima performed seppuku, his intermediary failed to complete the task even after cutting three times, which made Yukio Mishima so painful 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 change a wrong person to step forward, and then I fell into the soul,
Oh no, cut off the head.

Obviously, this time the young and strong faction messed things up, and there were obvious internal cracks, and they were caught by Dong Xiangjing and directly accused them of hijacking Fukushima's family.

Yes, Dong Xiangjing is so shameless and shameless. He called the people he sent over as rescuers, and the big hat of hijacking was given to the young faction. The reason for the crime is simpler:
The men sent by the Young Sect hacked Fukushima to death and cut off an arm of Fukushima's daughter.

The evidence is overwhelming!What the fuck do you have to say! ?

This really made the young men almost vomit blood in depression, because after all, there were only a few who witnessed the kidnapping, so many people obviously felt that what Dong Xiangjing said was right after reading the conclusion.

After knowing the current embarrassing situation of the young and strong faction, Fang Linyan couldn't help but smile. At this time, a large swamp appeared in front of him, and in the swamp, there were large reeds growing. Very spectacular.

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

Because for Japan at this time, tatami is an indispensable thing for every household, and because the wear resistance is not very good, it is similar to bamboo brooms and mops in the 70s and [-]s. Something that needs to be replaced.

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

According to Hattori Kazuyoshi, it is the villagers in Navel Hair Village who opened up and took care of these reed fields.

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

As for why Hattori Kazuyoshi knew, it was because they, the remnants of the shogunate, were also hunted down by the authorities, and their situation was comparable to that of the poor people in Namma Village. Mao Cun has been treated for injuries.

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

As a result, he didn't go far, when he heard a person coming out of the reed next to him. This person covered his face with a black cloth, his feet were covered with mud, and he was holding a large group of water plants in his hand. It looks like they were pulling weeds in the reed fields.

He glanced at Fang Linyan, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"Don't go any further, stranger, this is not a place for the living to come."

Fang Linyan said very simply:

"I'm here to find someone in Navel Hair Village."

This person said coldly:

"There are no living people in Navel Hair Village."

Fang Linyan said:

"Aren't you alive?"

The man slowly took off the black cloth, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"I just crawled out of hell."

After removing the black cloth, the person's face was covered with large and small purple-black sarcoma, the big ones were like eggs, and the small ones were as big as soybeans. It looked extremely terrifying!
This is a typical leprosy patient in the late stage. The disease will spread at close range, and the patient is very painful, and life is worse than death.

And this leprosy-causing virus has mutated, and it is very deadly in the acute stage, with a high mortality rate. It takes one month after the initial infection to become chronic, and it can survive for more than ten or twenty years, even if it is It looks like a ghost during the day.

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

"Don't scare people. You are just a sick person, but the sickness is worse."

After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan signaled Laming to hand over a pot of rice wine, and then said:
"I'm Hu Zhiyun, a businessman from China, sir, haven't you asked for your name yet?"

The man was slightly taken aback, and then his eyes lit up when he saw the jug of wine. After taking it, he opened the cork directly, gulped down a mouthful, breathed out the alcohol, and then said comfortably:
"You're not afraid of me?"

Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"I've seen real ghosts. What's more, you're just a patient, a patient who works hard and earns his own living. What's there to be afraid of?"

Hearing what Fang Linyan said, there was a hint of relief on this person's ugly face. He had lived too long in the eyes of others who discriminated against him, so his words must have become very extreme. Fang Linyan treats ordinary people in the same way. To him, it made him feel unprecedented respect.

So he patted the dust off his body a few times, pointed at Fang Linyan and bowed slightly:

"I have forgotten my original name. I live in Wei Tian at this time. Please call me Wei Mingxian."

Fang Linyan said politely:
"It's like this. I have a strange bookmark handed down from my ancestors. I have also traveled thousands of miles, looking for experts everywhere to identify the whereabouts of this bookmark, but I got nothing."

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

Ashina said:

"Who are you looking for?"

Fang Linyan said:

"Mr. Cunhe Guian, if you can help me, I will send you another pot of fine wine."

Now Japan is in short supply of various materials, especially food, and brewing consumes a lot of food. Liquor is an out-and-out controlled product. Can't buy alcohol.

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

"Okay, you come with me."

After finishing speaking, he led Fang Linyan and the two 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 is a big stone in front of it. The words "Navel Hair Village" are impressively engraved on it, and bright red dye is applied on it, so it looks as if it is written in blood.

There were also two guards at the entrance of the village, but Fang Linyan and the others were brought in by Wei Mingxian, so they didn't interrogate them. After entering the village, Fang Linyan realized that there were a dozen or so shops in it. commercial street form.
Apparently, Umbilical Hair Village has already relied on the cover of the previous evil name to form an underground black market, where thieves can come here to sell stolen goods, rebels can come here to consume, and even officials can come here to hire people to do some unsightly things. light thing.

In the end, Wei Mingxian led Fang Linyan and the others to the outside of a dilapidated thatched hut, and 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 thatched shed, and found that there was no door at all, but it was just closed with a broken and dirty cloth.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Linyan heard astonishing snoring sounds like the roar of a bull coming from inside. Obviously, in this case, let alone knocking on the door, there is probably no response to tearing down the house.

After sighing helplessly, Fang Linyan made a disrespectful act. 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 bunk, snoring loudly.

This old man is sloppy, with a big wine nose, short stature, but the clothes on his body look neat, but the tattered ones are white from washing. This should be the goal of their trip: the village and the village. Ghost nunnery.

Fang Linyan frowned. It seemed that if he followed the rules of etiquette, at least half a day would have passed by the time the old man sobered up. Of course he couldn't afford it right now.

But if you go to call someone directly, the conventional method—such as pouring a ladle of cold water on it will definitely save you, but how can you say what you need to do next?

Fortunately, at this time, Lamin showed his value. After the guy came to the old man, he took out a citrus from his arms, peeled off the skin and put it next to his nose to smoke. After the effect, switch to another food.
Finally, when La Ming handed over a jug of good wine, the old man's nose suddenly twitched greedily, and then he woke up slowly.

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

When he held the "bookmark" in front of his eyes and looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and then he said:

"I only saw this thing almost 30 years ago. At that time, I was a small musician and was forced to wander around in order to support my family. But because it was too long, I couldn't be sure about it. It's just that It kind of feels like it."

Fang Linyan calculated the time. Thirty years ago was 30. At that time, it was the most chaotic and bloody end of the Tokugawa period. Turmoil, bloodshed, and bullying were the labels of that time.

At that time, the village and the ghost nunnery wandered around in various places, and they were not killed by bandits, bandits, and ronin, so they were considered a hard-fated existence.

In such a chaotic world, it is not uncommon to see strange things, but the words of the village and the ghost nunnery also made Fang Linyan feel a chill:
"At that time, I saw two lanterns made of similar materials. They were only hung in the night. They were gloomy lanterns. The skin material of these two lanterns was made of human skin, and it was still 20 years old. The skin of a girl around [-] years old is smooth and neat, without any scars or birthmarks."

Fang Linyan gasped when he heard this, and almost threw the bookmark out of his hand:
"Human skin!!?"
