Chapter 42 Heart Location
This assassination plan went very smoothly, everything was as planned - first using a troupe to create a noisy environment, and then using beautiful women to arouse the blind man's lust, all in order to disturb the blind man's inner peace.
Once his mind is in chaos, all his extraordinary and terrifying abilities will be greatly weakened, making it much easier to deal with him.
My great-grandfather couldn't help but secretly admire his master. He felt that he was really smart and could come up with such a strange plan.
For two whole days, my great-grandfather drove to the county seat almost non-stop. When he was tired, he would slow down the horse and take a nap on the horse. When he was thirsty and hungry, he would drink a few mouthfuls of water and eat a few mouthfuls of dry food on the horse. In addition to
In the middle of the journey, I changed horses and peed a few times, and the journey was almost non-stop day and night.
When he came to the back door of the hospital with a dusty and haggard look, he could no longer get off his horse. When my great-grandfather’s brothers saw it, they immediately got my great-grandpa off the horse, carried him to the bed in the room, and put them on the bed.
A bowl of ginseng soup was brought to my great-grandfather and he drank it. My great-grandfather fell asleep in a daze. Maybe he was too tired, so he slept until the morning of the next day.
When he woke up, he found his master sitting beside his bed. As soon as he woke up, his master couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Is it done?"
My great-grandfather sat up quickly and felt pain in every joint in his body. He looked around the room and found that there was no one else except Master, so he told Master everything that happened in detail.
In fact, the Taoist priest never told anyone about the purpose of this operation except my great-grandfather. The Taoist priest spent huge sums of money to find the opera troupe, and lied to them and said that inviting them to sing in the opera was entirely commissioned by a local gentry.
And those women were specially hired from far away places, and they were only told to harass the blind man. As for other information, they were not disclosed to them at all, and special personnel were arranged to come to me.
Once the great-grandfather succeeded, he quickly took them away and evacuated.
Therefore, there are only two people who know the core secret of this operation - the Taoist priest and my great-grandfather.
After listening to my great-grandfather's words, the Taoist priest was of course very happy. His decades-long wish was finally fulfilled.
After killing the blind man, my great-grandfather asked his master why he killed the blind man. The Taoist priest did not elaborate, but simply told him that the blind man was a "monster" and not an ordinary person at all. He lived for two years.
It has been more than a hundred years, and a long time ago, a Taoist temple belonging to the Taoist master's disciple was bloodbathed by this blind man. All the heads of the Taoist priests in that Taoist temple were chopped off by the blind man, and they were placed on the steps of the courtyard, leaving no one alive.
None of them were left alive. From then on, all the disciples of this branch will make it their duty to kill this blind man from generation to generation.
But for some reason, even though my great-grandfather had clearly told the Taoist priest that he had inserted the knife deeply into the blind man's heart, the Taoist priest still vaguely felt that the blind man was not dead.
He also repeatedly asked my great-grandfather the details of the assassination, such as: "How deep did the knife penetrate? Where exactly did it penetrate?" and so on, and a series of questions.
After so many years, he is the one who knows my great-grandfather’s abilities and limitations best. He knows that although his apprentice can see the meridians of the human body, he cannot see the internal organs of a person, especially through clothes. That time he could
When it is judged that a person's ribs are "slab ribs", it is more indirectly determined based on the characteristics of that person's meridians, rather than directly seen through clothes.
The Taoist priest's biggest worry was that his apprentice failed to stab the Taoist priest's heart accurately. Because the blind man's physique was very different from that of ordinary people, it would be difficult to kill him without stabbing his vital parts.
In order to carry out this assassination, he and my great-grandfather also repeatedly studied the part that should be assassinated. After careful consideration, the Taoist priest felt that direct insertion into the heart was the safest way.
It is worth mentioning that this Taoist priest was very different from the ordinary doctors at that time - in order to study the internal structure of the human body, he often dug new graves in the cemetery, stole the corpses inside, and then disemboweled the corpses. Details
Observe the internal structure of the human body.
If we talk about this point alone, this Taoist priest is quite keeping pace with the times, because during the Renaissance, many doctors and artists in the West often went to cemeteries to steal corpses for dissection and research. Doctors would study the internal structure of the human body,
Artists will focus on observing the direction and texture of muscles in order to better paint and sculpt.
In order to make this assassination plan more rigorous and secure, the Taoist priest also gave my great-grandfather special training - he took my great-grandfather to the cemetery at night to pick up the body and then cut the body open so that my great-grandfather could become familiar with the human heart.
position. It wasn’t until my great-grandfather mastered it very skillfully that he felt relieved.
It is said that the plan is so rigorous, the training is so sufficient in advance, and the key is that the assassination plan is progressing so smoothly. Ordinarily, there is nothing to worry about. The blind man must have been killed.
But for some reason, the Taoist priest still felt that the blind man was not killed at all. In his heart, my great-grandfather secretly laughed at his master, thinking that he was frightened by the blind man. He was obviously dead, so why were he so suspicious?
However, a few days later, the confidant sent by the Taoist priest to inquire finally came back with the exact news - the blind man was indeed alive! The Taoist priest's feeling was right.
When my great-grandfather first heard the news, he didn't believe it at all. In the secret room, the person who went to inquire faced the Taoist priest who looked disappointed and frustrated, and my great-grandfather, who looked suspicious, told him in detail what the blind man was doing.
Everything that happened at the scene after the assassination.
After my great-grandfather stabbed him down, the crowd around him was of course in a panic at first. But after my great-grandfather rushed out of the crowd with a knife, people came to surround the blind man who fell to the ground. People saw that the blind man had a stab in his chest.
The knife was stuck and the blood was flowing out so much that the blind man felt that he was dead now.
But what is surprising is that the blind man got up slowly. Although his face was full of pain. It was difficult for him to speak, but there were still people around him who could hear him clearly. He was begging others to find a car to push him away. Good-hearted people always
Yes, there was. Soon a vendor pushed his wheelbarrow over. After the blind man was put on the wheelbarrow, he was pushed down the mountain to the temple where he lived in seclusion.
Later, news came from the temple that although the blind man was seriously injured and was in a coma for two days, he did not die but miraculously survived. The doctor who went up the mountain to give him medicine said that this
The blind man was really a strange man. His heart was not on the left side like ordinary people, but on the right side! It was precisely in this way that he escaped death.
The heart is on the right side!
After hearing the news, the master and the apprentice were shocked!
Nobel Prize winner Li Zhengdao once said this when he was first interviewed by Mao Zedong: "There are about one in a million people in this world whose heart grows on the right side..."
And this blind man is one of those one in a million people.
Now, officials are doing their best to investigate the murderer, and the monks in the temple are also taking strict precautions, fearing that someone will take the opportunity to harm the blind man again.
After spending so much energy, making so many careful plans, and spending so much financial and material resources, in the end, the success fell short. What's more serious is that with the blind man's personality, he is bound to take revenge.
Just in case, the Taoist priests disbanded the medical clinic and wandered to nowhere. My great-grandfather also hid here and there for many years. Finally, he felt that the danger had passed, so he returned to the village and became a pawn.
Doctor Lai. Because of his superb medical skills and special talents, he became a famous doctor of our generation at a young age.
But at the same time, he also left a reputation as a lecherous man. He seduced many women, and three fingers of his left hand were chopped off because of this. But many people said that my great-grandfather was not like this before. He was very obedient and well-behaved when he was a child.
My child, until the years when I was studying medicine with a Taoist priest, had never been promiscuous with a woman. Moreover, our family had been honest people for several lifetimes, and there had never been such a lecherous person. He hid outside.
In the past few years, I don’t know why I’ve changed as a person, turning into a cowardly pervert.
There are many different theories about the drastic change in my great-grandfather's personality. One of them goes like this: When my great-grandfather was wandering outside, he still practiced medicine for a living. But wherever he went, he relied on his extraordinary ability to
, it didn’t take long for him to become famous in the local area. But he was always worried that the blind man would find him, so he never dared to stay in one place for too long.
Once, he got lost in a big mountain. He relied on the wild fruits in the mountain to satisfy his hunger. It took him several days and nights to get out. After he came out, he didn't know the north, south, east, west, so he wandered aimlessly. Fortunately, he left.
Soon, we met a small mountain village.
There were only a few households in that small mountain village, and they were sparsely scattered on the mountainside.
At that time, my great-grandfather was almost exhausted, and he was eager to find a place to rest. It was already dark, and he was tired, hungry, and sleepy, so he walked to a door with difficulty, raised his hand, and knocked gently.
Door.
After a long while, an old man walked out. The old man looked at him and was a little surprised to see that he was a stranger.
My great-grandfather explained feebly and hurriedly that he had lost his way and wandered around the mountains for several days, and almost couldn't get out because he couldn't walk anymore. He hoped to stay at the old man's place for one night.
He took out a bunch of money and handed it to the old man. The old man was not polite, took it, weighed it with his hands, and felt it was quite a lot. He secretly glanced at the bag on my great-grandfather's waist, and immediately changed his mind.
He was much more attentive than before. He let my great-grandpa into the house, cooked some soup in a pot, and brought two black and hard steamed buns and pickles for my great-grandpa to eat.
My great-grandfather devoured the steamed buns and pickles in a few mouthfuls, then picked up the bowl and drank the bowl of soup in one go. After having food in his stomach, he felt much better.
The oil lamp in the room was very dim, and he couldn't see the old man's facial features clearly, but with his extreme sensitivity to various states and movements of the human body, my great-grandfather could clearly detect that the old man was always looking at the bag on his waist with a sly look.
