The devil in the morgue

Author: Antonov

The first rule is bold and reckless

The first chapter is the hidden man.

The story took place in the military hospital of the National Government in a provincial capital of northwest China in the 1940s.

The protagonist in the story is a pathological technician who graduated from technical secondary school for many years. He is not only a soldier, but also a lieutenant officer. Everyone calls him Cang Hao.

Zang Hao is 30 years old, single, with Chinese character face, bronze complexion and dark red complexion. At first glance, his facial features are normal, but his face is present and his neck is thick and short. Look carefully, slightly square face has a pair of small triangular eyes, single eyelid, high brow bone, slightly larger nose, two thick lips and a square chin under the big mouth. He has a beard, which is very hard, like an ape without evolution. His simple appearance has somewhat lost face.

He is introverted, even to the point of being withdrawn and weird. Apart from work, he seldom actively communicates with others in his life. He lacks friends and is used to loneliness. No matter what he does, he likes being alone. He doesn't feel lonely.

He is not good at words. When he is in contact with the same sex, he is sometimes boastful, sometimes taciturn, shy when talking to the opposite sex, and often blushes and cannot speak. He never looks directly at women, and his eyes seem to blink when he looks at people. He hardly takes the initiative to talk to and look at women, probably because he is not good at dealing with women and has never really been in love.

Behind his simple, shy and even a little shy expression is a dirty soul in his heart. Young women who have come into contact with him at work are disgusted with him and try to avoid him, because there seems to be an evil look in his eyes.

He is of medium height, with a height of 1.7 meters, and is very strong. Compared with his height, his arms are a little long, his shoulders are wide and round, his upper body is triangular and his limbs are developed. From the outside, he looks like a weightlifter. He can lift the weight of 180 Jin with one hand and do hundreds of single-pole pull-ups in one breath. In terms of strength, no one in the hospital can match him.

He runs 5000 meters alone every morning, without exception. In winter, his body is like burning coal. It's MINUS 20 degrees in the morning. He ran alone in the playground in shorts and vest, and then went back to the dormitory to take a cold bath. Everyone says he is a monster.

He likes playing basketball. Although he is not tall and his skills are not good, no one can beat him. As long as the ball is in his hand, no one can grab it and no one dares to collide with him.

Because of his infinite strength, he always puts the ball high when playing volleyball, and no one dares to catch the ball he spilt. If he smashes him, Wu will appear. However, he also has weaknesses. Although his limbs are muscular, his body is not flexible enough to catch and save the ball well. Therefore, with him on the court, they always lost to the volleyball team in the auxiliary department.

He always wins the long-distance race in the sports meeting held by the hospital every year, and the tug-of-war on his side will certainly win.

Public baths for hospital staff are open regularly every week. Zang Hao likes to soak in hot water, and his skin and nerves are as dull and numb as himself. He dares to jump in hot water for a long time. Compared with everyone's smooth body, his body is full of concave and convex round muscles, and his long chest hair has been stuck to his stomach. The big guy in his lower body is different from ordinary people, especially heavy. Everyone called him a monster, and he himself foolishly called his big guy a monster.

His appetite is amazing. One person should eat four or five people's meals. At that time, everyone's monthly food was rationed, and his monthly meal ticket was not enough for himself. Some people often offer him endless meal tickets. The staff who cook in the canteen also take care of him and always give him more food than others.

In a word, he is the kind of person who doesn't like but doesn't hate. In the hospital, he doesn't bully others, but no one dares to bully him. He never takes the initiative to contact people in his life, even colleagues, and he will not take the initiative to speak when nothing happens.

Once, a group of soldiers competed on the parallel bars to see who had the strongest abdominal muscles, and made an action of abdomen and straight legs. He watched with interest and wanted to take part in the competition, but he was too embarrassed to speak.

"Hao Ge, how about a comparison?" At this time, a young soldier who happened to win took the initiative to challenge him.

"Well, I'll try."

Although he has never practiced this movement, he jumped on the parallel bars several times to imitate everyone's movements. As a result, no one has done it longer than him. Everyone watched in silence.

"Hao Ge, you are still very awesome." The young man who just invited him gave him a thumbs-up sign.

"Hey hey! Nothing, nothing. " He laughed it off.

On another occasion, twenty-year-old boys from seven or eight military nursing schools wrestled in the hospital playground, and finally won a strong man with a height of about one meter eight, standing proudly in the middle of everyone, shouting:

"Which one of you will come up and compare with me?"

Zanghao watched and suddenly became interested. He said to the winning young man, "I want you to hold my waist from behind first." Let's have a try, shall we? "

The young man looked at the stout man in front of him and said unconvinced, "Hum! Brother Hao, you look down on people too much. I don't need your permission. Come on, I will fall with you. "

Wrestling is not better than anyone else, but skill and ingenuity. Zang Hao can't wrestle, but his feet are wide and big. He steps on the ground like a nail, with a low center of gravity and stable body.

After the two men put their arms together, Zang Hao grabbed each other's arms and lifted them to his side. The other party plopped to the ground.

"Oh, not this time. I'm not ready. Let's try again. " The young man got up from the ground and posed again.

He learned the movements of professional wrestlers, with his feet beating alternately and rhythmically, his shoulders shaking, and he circled around Zanghao, not easily approaching him.

With his beating, Zang Hao slowly turned around and suddenly reached out to grab the young man's left arm, so he had to pull hard. Unexpectedly, when the young man turned his back on him, his right arm was caught by both hands and carried on the young man's back. The young man bent forward and pulled his arm forward.

"Not good!" Zanghao felt that his feet were about to leave the ground.

This trick used by the young man is called big back. He has completed all the movements, and with his last strength, he will throw Zanghao from behind to the front.

Zanghao hurriedly pushed his stomach in and squatted down, and the other arm forced the young man's neck back. The two men fought desperately, and gradually the young man became weak and collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, suddenly two young men came up, one hugging his waist from behind and the other hugging his leg.

He just stood there laughing like an iron tower. No matter how hard the people behind him try, he won't move. Then, three unconvinced people came up, some holding his legs, some putting their arms around his neck, some pulling his arms, and his body remained motionless. Maybe someone bit his leg with his mouth and hurt him. He suddenly became angry and let out a cry of pain. With the exertion of his arm, all five people were lying on the concrete floor and fell black and blue.

He blushed with anger and swore, "Shit, you still bite!" " "He vigorously waved two fists in the air, stamped their feet, and left without looking back.

"I won't play with you!" He shouted.

This may be the first time he took the initiative to communicate with everyone, and it was also the first time for everyone to see his cruelty and fierceness.

From then on, no one dared to compete with him, no one dared to provoke him, and everyone began to be a little afraid of him, although he was as shy as before, afraid to look at people and looked like an honest man.

The work of the hospital morgue is managed by the pathology department, and Lao Tao, the director of the pathology department, puts Zanghao in charge of the management of the morgue. He readily agreed without saying anything. He kept the mortuary in good order and worked meticulously, which made Director Lao Tao very satisfied.

He is not only strong, but also courageous and stubborn. The more you stop him from doing what he likes, the more he wants to do it. He often works alone in the morgue until late at night, making local anatomical specimens of various corpses for the teaching of nursing students. One night, he made specimens in the herbarium until midnight, and finally fell asleep on the experimental platform.

The story begins with him.

Chapter II Herb Collection in Ginseng Valley

At the beginning of August, 1946, the hospital sent a drug collection team to the Baihe Ginseng Valley in Changbai Mountain to collect valuable Chinese herbal medicines. Yu Changjun, Deputy Director of Pharmacy Department, is 29 years old and a native of Northeast China. He is tall, strong and generous. He has visited Changbai Mountain for many times and has rich experience in forest medicine collection, and served as the leader of the medicine collection group. In order to ensure the safety of the drug collection team, the hospital specially arranged for Zang Hao, a strong man, to participate in the drug collection team and served as the vice captain. There are also driver Xu Gang and two young male nursing students in the motorcade. The five of them took a train from northwest to northeast with a purebred German black-backed German wolfhound.

From the map, the location of Ginseng Valley is located at east longitude127 30' and north latitude 42 40', on the banks of Baihe River. White River in Changbai Mountain is located at the foot of Changbai Mountain in northeast China, upstream of Songhua River and Yalu River, bordering on North Korea. Surrounded by rolling mountains, vast wild forests, tall and straight trees, sparsely populated, rich in natural resources and superior ecological environment, it is rich in all kinds of high-grade medicinal materials, such as ginseng, rhodiola, codonopsis pilosula and astragalus.

After the train crossed the Hunjiang River, its speed slowed down obviously. The train is like a panting bull, struggling to climb up. The mountain forest outside the window is getting closer and steeper to the train. The continuous peaks of Changbai Mountain are covered with snow all year round, which looks like clouds in the sky from a distance. The train track on the hillside ahead is like a ladder between heaven and earth, and the train crawls between heaven and earth.

Yu Changjun, the team leader, smiled and said to Zang Hao, who had just woken up, "Zang Hao, there are wild animals here, and we can rely on you to protect them."

"Hey, no problem, we have horses and this!" Zang Hao patted the big head of the German shepherd sitting on the leg with his hand, and patted the Japanese army knife around his waist. This time, when he came out to collect herbs, he specially brought this big German shepherd named Ma beast and a Japanese army knife.

Ma beast is a male dog, 5 years old, very similar to Zanghao himself. He is muscular, strong, witty and fierce. It is said that it is an excellent military dog left by the Japanese after the defeat. Zang Hao doesn't know English, but he heard that "horse and beast" means muscle in English.

"How to call the beast? It's ugly. Just call it Marceau. It's more foreign and nice. " Yu Changjun knows English and has a little literary talent. He made a suggestion.

"Hey hey, what beast, Masuoji, why do I sound exactly the same? If you say Masuoji sounds good, call it Masuoji." Zang Hao bowed his head and shouted, "Masuo!" The beast really shook his head and stood up.

"Ha ha, sure enough, then call Marceau! Still Marceau sounds good! " Xu Gang is talking about.

"Zanghao, let me see your saber?" The team leader looked at Zanghao's saber curiously.

"hmm!"

Captain Yu took the saber from Zanghao and, with a bang, pulled it out of the scabbard. It's shiny and sharp. He couldn't help saying, "Good Dao, good Dao!"

"Well, I also like this knife. This is a gift from a colonel two years ago. "

"Are you? How could the colonel give you a gift? "

"During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he got tetanus after being injured. I helped to make tetanus antitoxin serum and saved him. He was very grateful to me and gave me this Japanese army knife. He told me it was his trophy. A Japanese officer committed suicide by caesarean section with this saber, but he didn't die. He was allowed to take him alive and seized this saber. "

"Did you use this saber when you marked the autopsy that day?" A nursing student who has seen his anatomy teaching interjected.

"Yes, this is the knife." Zanghao looked at the young man in front of him and said, "I didn't expect you to be courageous." Few people dare to watch me dissect the body. What's your last name? "

"My name is Chen, and my name is."

"Well done, like my name, there is a word" Hao "in it. People with the word "Hao" in their names are bold. After graduating from nursing school, come to the pathology department and I will take you! " Zanghao's face reveals a sense of pride.

"Well, Hao Ge, I will learn from you."

The train terminal, Baihe Station, will arrive soon. They got off at the dew station before the terminal. They came to a post station near the station, had a simple meal, then rented a carriage and set off again, heading straight for the people by the white river to participate in the valley.

The old man who drove the carriage, in his early 60 s, was a local, and kept pulling them home all the way.

"Young man, you want to go to this place, but the land of feng shui! There are all kinds of precious medicinal materials. "

Team leader Yu asked, "Grandpa, how do you know this is a treasure trove of geomantic omen? Do you often go? "

"I often go there, but I have been there several times. To tell you the truth, I took the soldiers of the anti-Japanese Coalition forces there to collect medicine, and I also took the Japanese devils there. I will take you there this time. "

"Everyone went to pick herbs, and the herbs were not lit?" The team leader asked with concern.

The coachman shook his head and said, "It's a little less than before, but it's not enough. There are also many precious wild medicinal materials, just need to climb the mountain and walk into the deep valley. "

"Are there any wild animals in the mountains?" Xu Gang asked anxiously. Xu Gang has been a soldier for more than a year. He is a recruit. He has never fought a war, and he has never experienced such a thing.

"Yes, the farther you go into the mountains, the more wild animals there are, wolves, foxes, blind bears and Siberian tigers. However, during the day, the problem is not big. For example, if we catch the carriage now, the animals will have heard the sound. They either run away or hide far away and will not take the initiative to attack people. "

"So, herbalism in the mountains is still very safe? ! "Xu Gang ha ha smile.

The driver replied, "it's safe, and it's not safe." Do you have a weapon? "

Captain Yu replied, "We have automatic rifles and pistols."

"Oh, take it with you when you go out."

"And a saber!" The team leader pointed to the saber hanging on Zanghao's waist and added.

"Enough weapons, but be careful of snakes! Take your saber with you when you go out. This saber is the best against snakes! "

Captain Yu said, "We brought snake medicine!"

"That's good!" The coachman turned to count the number of people and said, "There are five of you. I hope there will be five when I pick you up in a week! " ! This time last year, I sent nine Japanese devils here, and when I came back, I lost seven. I saw the other two little devils look gloomy and didn't dare to ask what was going on. Something must have happened, so I took them back. "

"What happened to the devil?" The team leader asked curiously.

"Oh, it's a long story!" The coachman took a mouthful of dry tobacco with a long pipe in his mouth. He said: "When you get there, you will see that Ginseng Valley is divided into two parts by the Baihe River. The river is a relatively flat ditch, which is relatively safe, but Rhodiola, Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus are mainly planted, and ginseng is rare. If you want to dig ginseng, you should go to the distant mountains, where the mountains are steep, the jungle is dense, and there are many wild animals and snakes, which is a bit dangerous. On the other side of the Baihe River is the real ginseng valley, where the peaks are steep, the valley jungle is dense and there are many ginseng snakes. We call it Snake Valley, and some people call it "Death Valley".

"They must have gone into Death Valley and didn't come out?"

"That's what I guessed, but I didn't understand what happened in the end." The coachman knocked on the soles of his feet with his pipe and continued: "These two Japanese devils didn't say anything all the way, but unexpectedly, after I dragged them to the dew railway station, they arrested me and sent me to the prison of the gendarmerie, saying that I deliberately concealed the danger of Snake Valley and misled seven of them into Snake Valley. They all died. Because they were sick that day, the two of them didn't follow everyone to Snake Valley, and they narrowly escaped. "

"What's the matter with you?"

"After I was put in prison, they tortured me for three days in a row and asked me if I was an anti-Japanese Coalition, a producer of * * *, and a national revolutionary army. I told them that I was nothing, and I came from China. They said they were going to kill me. Hey, hey, I'm lucky! After more than half a month, Japan surrendered and I was released. "

"Did you really not tell the Japanese about the danger of the Valley of Death?" The team leader asked.

"No, I just said there are more wild ginseng. I told them there was a snake in the valley and they smiled casually. They are not afraid of snakes. They are fully equipped, with boots and gloves to prevent snakes from biting, and they also bring a gun that can be used. What's it called? "

"Flame thrower!" Chen Yinghao interjected.

"I didn't tell them how dangerous Snake Valley is. As a result, these seven Japanese devils entered the valley of death, and none of them came out. "

"You are really good!"

"Hey hey, China people, who wants to be conquered! I bought this old bones. What are you afraid of? ! "

The coachman smiled smugly and waved his whip. "Bang, bang," the crisp sound of whip echoed in the valley, and the carriage galloped rapidly.

"Do Japanese devils also believe in Chinese herbal medicine?"

"Letter, believe it very much! One of the nine Japanese doctors who can speak Chinese said to me,' Ginseng is very good and can save lives! Shock after injury and blood loss, just eat ginseng. When people are old, eating people will live longer!' . They are superstitious about ginseng, so they dig it up desperately. The Japanese doctor didn't come back either.

Moreover, after the Japanese surrender, the Japs retreated to China. Many things were not taken away before, but all valuable Chinese herbal medicines were taken away. "

Two strong white horses, pulling a carriage, galloped in the virgin forest, and thick and tall pine trees passed quickly before their eyes. The forest is full of endless virgin pine and birch forests. The towering trees cover the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, making the forest look gloomy and the temperature is wet and cold. Occasionally, a few rays of sunshine pass through the dense leaves and fall on their bodies and land, and they immediately feel a little warm. A thick layer of fallen leaves accumulates on the land all the year round, like a soft and elastic carpet, and the carriage shuttles smoothly through the Woods.

At a fork in the valley, a group of deer-like animals crossed the carriage road 20 meters ahead and ran to the bottom of another valley.

"Stop the car!" Yu Changjun shouted excitedly. Before the carriage stopped, he pulled out his pistol, jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the deer. He ran and shouted, "Zanghao, come with me with a submachine gun and shoot some deer!" " "

His shouts woke Zang Hao from his sleep. He didn't understand what was going on. He subconsciously jumped out of the car with a submachine gun and followed him to another valley.

"They are not deer, but robes!" The coachman shouted after them.

"The robe is better, and the stupid robe is better!" Yu Changjun screamed. When Zang Hao heard that there was a robe in front of him, he suddenly woke up and ran. He caught up with the long line in a few steps and ran to the front.

This group has more than 20 robes. They ran into a swamp and jumped forward in the swamp, obviously slowing down. Zang Hao chased him to the swamp, 60 meters away from them. He leaned against a tree, aimed at his gun and fired six shots in a row. At this time, Yu Changjun also caught up, raised his pistol and aimed at it, ready to shoot, but the distance was a bit far. They watched this group of roe deer run to the opposite Woods and disappeared. None of them hit it.

"Your marksmanship is too smelly. You haven't hit so close. " When Yu Changjun walked back, he complained to Zanghao: "Why don't you let Marceau go and let him chase? Maybe you can bite one end! "

"Hey hey, my marksmanship is really poor, also didn't practice. Who told you to run so slowly? "

When the coachman saw the two of them quarreling, he smiled and advised, "Don't worry, maybe we will meet the dragon robe again in the future. We have many robes here. However, you were right not to let the dog chase the robe. Look at that swamp. Its legs are so short that it won't sink in the swamp. The robe has long legs and cannot sink in. "

The forest echoed with the driver's whip, and the carriage continued to run in the valley.

After more than three hours, they finally reached the Baihe River. There is a wooden house with a spire by the river. There is nothing in the room except the fire resistance, and it is empty. The coachman told them that when the Japanese came here to collect Chinese herbal medicines, they also lived in this wooden house.

"Is that Snake Valley you said across the river?" The leader looked at the dark valley across the river and asked.

Lily's name is hehe. Actually, it's a river, from Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain. It is the source of Songhua River, Tumen River and Yalu River. From a distance, the river is more than 200 meters wide, with rough waves and rapid currents. After listening to the driver's introduction, team leader Yu felt that the steep slopes, dark valleys, dense forests and misty peaks across the river were more mysterious and legendary.

"Yes, across the river is Snake Valley. Because they are inactive all the year round, poisonous snakes swarm and run amok. Anyone who enters Snake Valley cannot come back alive. " At the mention of the word snake valley, the driver looked solemn and said to team leader Yu earnestly, "Mr. Yu, don't go there!" Most of the poisonous snakes there are vipers, brown with patterns and very toxic. The poisoned person bled and died. "

"Oh, I see, thank you!" After listening to the driver's warning, team leader Yu felt cold and creepy.

After the coachman helped them unload their luggage and supplies from the carriage, he fed the horse some water and grass and hurried back.

Author's digression: Walking out of the dew, driving all the way on the flat mountain, in the tall and dense forest, I can't see an inch of people along the way. When I arrived at Baihe, my eyes suddenly widened, and dark clouds braved in the valley across the river. Decades later, is Snake Valley still here? Is this natural and primitive desert scene still there?

Good mystery novels, I find the plot attractive and exciting, such as:

Thriller suspense:

The curse on the altar of God.

The soul of resentment in the night is green litchi

Concerned about the murder of housewives on the internet

Half a face-changing dancer (completely) a good fox

The night doesn't understand the white of the day.

Blood and Tears Youth Sacrifice: My Weird Life, My China Courage.

The moon of the first assassin was wrapped in red sound.
