Liu Wendao didn't die underground, instead he got what he wanted. As the number of Japanese soldiers in the Longshan Barracks was decreasing, Liu Wendao went underground many times with my help. He did not take me in, and I am not a person with strong curiosity about this matter.
Since Liu Wendao found me in 1943, until 1945, he had entered the underground at the back of Longshan four times, choosing different holes each time. He didn't tell me what was underneath, only that the Japanese was about to hollow out Longshan, and he said less and less, frowning every day, every time he encountered a cigarette in his hand.
In August 1945, Liu Wendao entered the Longshan underground for the last time. At the same time, when the Soviets declared war on Japan, the entire Longshan military camp was in panic, and everyone was preparing to flee.
The Japanese were about to leave Longshan, wanting to organize their troops in the Northeast, and then fight a Russo-Japanese war with the Soviets. Some people clamored that if Japan can win the first time, it can win the second time. But I have seen it, and they have already seen it themselves, most of them will not win this time. This crazy nation and their country have already exhausted their capital at the gaming table.
Traitors are also in panic all day long. The Soviets are coming, and the Japanese devils are about to end. So, should we start learning Russian? Some are preparing to flee to Japan, some are preparing to buy a new master.
In short, the Longshan Project was completely stalled in August 1945, when the news of the Soviet Union's declaration of war came. Everyone is packing up and preparing to leave, and the Longshan Barracks will soon be abandoned.
Except for three people.
One was the old Japanese guy who was in tears because of the hopeless future of his research. He knew that he was over 80 years old and couldn't stand the long-distance fatigue, and he didn't want to leave the painstaking Longshan just like this and planned to stay here. He was going around asking for extra canned food and compressed biscuits. I found some for him. How long he can live in Longshan depends on how much food he can ask for at this moment.
One is my teacher, the Japanese, Ichiro Sagishi. I have to say that Zuoan Ichiro helped me a lot. He saw through me many things like a lone wolf, but he still stood behind me. At that time, he was dying of illness. He took out the knives that he had been with him for half his life. "Xiang Shui, you are my only student and my last relative. I hope you and your country can have a good future. "
Even though he was dying, the voice and tone of his speech were still so clear and orderly. But he was still dead. I took the set of knives, and it was them that led me on this path, and I said I would.
Except for Zuoan Ichiro, the last person is Liu Wendao. He was the original promoter of the Longshan project and the last executor of it. When everyone else was packing in the house, he stood in front of the window and looked at the chaos outside. Seeing me come to him, he was a little surprised: "You are still so young, don't you plan to leave?"
"Zogan Ichiro is dead." I said, "just now."
Liu Wendao was silent for a moment. He and Zuoan Ichiro had never had any contact, but I also knew that a lot of my help to him was approved by Zuoan Ichiro, "He is a good Japanese." Liu Wendao said.
"I plan to leave, my father is still waiting for me to go back in Fengtian." I said.
Liu Wendao nodded: "The war may be about to end. The Japanese don't expect to survive this year. What are your plans after going out?"
I looked at the set of lancets in my hand: "I learned surgery from Saoan Ichiro for five years, so it should be enough for a living."
Liu Wendao lit a cigarette, staring at the hurried people outside the window, and said in a daze, "You can't go yet. If you go, who should I leave the results of my research?"
"You can leave it to that 80-something old guy."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, and flicked the soot: "It is impossible to walk out of Daxinganling alive. The snow season is coming in September. This old guy will freeze to death here. You should stay here. It will not be long. The matter has been mastered enough, I think I will be able to crack all the secrets of Longshan soon, and then I will tell you, you will take the news out again."
"Aren't you going out by yourself?"
He sneered coldly: "Will you go out to stand trial? I won't go to Japan either. The next life in that country will be difficult."
I didn't say anything. In the past few years, there has been a nightmare that has been haunting me, that is, the corpse of Qianjiang and the trail of blood on that purple night. I said: "How long will you be able to end the study?"
Liu Wendao spit out a smoke ring, "I have explored three holes, and I have almost understood the underground situation, only the last hole, I think I can figure out what is in the underground, just tonight. You accompany me down the last hole."
I nodded. Everyone will be evacuated tomorrow. If everything is over tonight, it is possible to get rid of the nightmare that has haunted me for many years. It is feasible.
That night, I didn't sleep, I cleaned up the things I wanted to take away, put on a black suit, and sat by the door waiting for Liu Wendao to come to me.
At two o'clock in the morning, there was a deep knock on the door. For the sake of caution, even though the Longshan military camp basically no longer exists for defense, he still chose this safest time period.
The two came all the way to the back of Longshan. Liu Wendao had already observed the hole he wanted to choose.
This kind of hole was dug out by the Japanese with special excavation equipment. After a certain distance of drooping, in order not to cause collapse, a small room was excavated horizontally, and then staggered to excavate the second section, and then it went deep.
The two climbed down the first section of the shaft and came to the first small room. Liu Wendao grabbed the flashlight and climbed down the mud wall with his hands. He also wanted to follow to the second section of the shaft, but he stopped me, "Don’t follow, stay here, this time it may be more dangerous. But I will definitely come back and tell you everything I should tell you."
After speaking, he took the flashlight and went down. I was left alone in the small room, which felt very strange. Liu Wendao said that the following is very dangerous, so I will not be allowed to follow, indicating that the following dangers can cause death. But he was confident that he could come back. Isn't this inconsistent
And this time, Liu Wendao went longer than any previous time.
It was pitch black in the small room, and I turned off the flashlight to save power. In the darkness, I suddenly heard a rustling voice above my head. Someone is in the first section of the shaft.
At this time, I had waited for Liu Wendao for several hours and was afraid to be discovered. So I leaned my upper body into the second section of the shaft, supported the ground with my hands, and left my upper body in the small room. In the guard position, if someone finds me, I can quickly retreat to a deeper underground. If he does not find me the first time, then I can attack him.
There was a light from the shaft above my head, and a foot appeared in my field of vision. I already recognized it. It was a Japanese army boot. But instead of jumping off as I expected, he got stuck on the first section of the shaft and threw something in the small room.
The man took a picture with a flashlight and didn't find me, but I could see clearly what he threw down.
That is an explosive package with fuse. (End of this chapter)
