Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 142: The Siheyuan where human experiments were conducted (Monthly ticket plus more)
Fangyan is not suffering from persecution delusions. The main reason is that this place is too close to the Union Hospital. Foreigners bought it for their own private experiments, so it is most likely a medical experiment.

Before I traveled through time, I had seen some records of foreigners using money to buy people for experiments in the country in the early years.

So Fangyan has reason to be suspicious here.

As expected, after hesitating for a moment, Secretary Xia said to Fang Yan:

"Before 49, there were indeed a few human drug experiments between 1921 and 1937, but no one died and all were paid and voluntary."

Fang Yan asked Secretary Xia:
“Who is doing the experiment?”

Secretary Xia thought for a moment, then said:

"Several doctors from Rockefeller Foundation hospitals returned to China in 1937."

At this time, the woman from the street office nearby also said:
"I heard from the elderly people living nearby that people did draw blood, give injections, and test drugs here before, but they all had to pay."

"Many people who are having a hard time trying to survive will come here to try. But they don't get a chance just by coming here. They need to be checked before they can have a chance."

Then she said to the dialect with great certainty:

"Anyway, don't worry, no one has died here."

Seeing that Fang Yan was still considering, Secretary Xia asked him:
"How about it? Do you want it? If not, I can try to find another place for you, but I guess there won't be a place as good as this one."

Fang Yan thought about it, and finally took the key and said:

"I'll go in and take a look first, and then decide whether to go or not."

"Okay." Secretary Xia nodded.

Then the three of them opened the door of the house together.

As soon as Fangyan entered the door, he saw a screen wall blocking the way. There should have been some carvings on it, but it had been smashed and a big red slogan was written on it with paint.

"This was done by their students a few years ago. When the time comes, we can just cover it with cement." The woman from the street office who was following behind them spoke to them in dialect.

There is a moon-shaped arched doorway on the left side of the screen wall. After entering, you will arrive at the first front yard of the courtyard.

The front yard is not big, a bit long and narrow.
He actually didn't know much about the Siheyuan, he had only read some historical articles about it.

The first courtyard in the front yard is a long row of back houses side by side with the gate.

I heard that this place was the residence of male servants in ancient times.

It also serves as a gatekeeper.

Opposite the back house is another moon gate, and the main courtyard is inside.

There are two side rooms on the left and right of the main courtyard. There are two lush trees in the middle of the courtyard. Under the trees there is a stone table and several stone benches.

There is a grape rack in the northeast corner of the main courtyard, as well as a water pressurized well and a faucet next to the well.

There is a water shortage in the capital city, and the quality of groundwater is not very good. Although there was running water during the time of Cixi, the water system was not very complete. Seeing that there was running water here, Fangyan nodded.

Then he checked the power supply system again.

The simple route is still planned, but it looks a bit old.

But it should be no problem to use it.

The woman from the street office introduced the structure of the main courtyard to them in dialect:
"The east wing is the kitchen, and the small one is the east ear room, which is usually used to store firewood or something."

"The western wing is usually for guests or young female relatives to stay in. There is also a small side room next to the western wing, which is used to store clothes and other things."

"The front is the main house, which has three large rooms. The middle one is the living room, the one due east is the master's residence, and the one due west is the master's study."

"We come here every week to clean, so it's very clean inside. Although it's not big, the structure is good, and there's no problem for a family of six or seven to live here."

"After 37 years, several people moved in here one after another, but they were all in the military, so they didn't stay long and left."

"This place was vacant for a long time. After we took over, it was returned to the government." "And the best thing about this place is that outsiders don't know it. For the sake of hygiene, the foreigners here took the time to renovate a Western-style bathroom and dug out the pipes. Living here, you can not only take a shower at home, but also go to the bathroom and throw away the swill at home."

"This kind of function can only be found in Concord Villa and the staff dormitory there."

When Fangyan heard this, his eyes lit up. Not having to empty the toilet and empty the kitchen waste gave him a surprise.

Don’t be fooled by its small appearance. It’s actually quite big inside. At least several times bigger than where Fangyan and his family live now.

Fangyan looked around and didn't feel any discomfort.

After walking around, I felt a little relieved.

Then he turned to the woman and asked:

"Didn't you say that this place was used as a laboratory? Why does it look like there are no traces of people living here?"

The woman took over and said:

"The place where the experiment is done is not the main courtyard. This is used to store medicines."

She pointed to the front yard where she had just entered:
"The experiment is done in the back house in the front yard."

Fang Yan nodded, and then asked curiously:
"Didn't you share this place with other people later?"

The woman shook her head and explained with a smile:
"No, everyone would rather live in the nearby Concord Villa. This place is obviously not as comfortable as the villa. There are front and back gardens and floors. Who wouldn't want to live in a better place?"

Fang Yan nodded and walked towards the front yard. He also planned to take a look at the house where the experiment was conducted.

I entered the front yard and opened the door of the back house. As expected, the style inside was different from the back. There were tiles inside, which should have been designed for a sterile environment.

It looks like a hospital decoration style.

Moreover, due to the long time, the tiles here have turned yellow. Compared with the serious living style of the backyard, this place is indeed a bit creepy.

If ordinary people see this place, all the good impressions of the main courtyard will disappear immediately.

But as a doctor, I don't really care about dialects.

He felt around and found nothing uncomfortable here, it was normal.

"If you don't want, we have been planning to turn this place into a slum for a few months."

“After all, more and more young people are returning to the city now, and many of them have no place to live after getting married, so they are in turmoil.” The woman from the street office said in dialect.

Secretary Xia said to Fang Yan:
"This place is nice, the location is good, and look at it, you can do experiments at home or even teach in the future, you don't even need to decorate it."

Fangyan nodded and asked the woman from the street office:
"How much is the monthly rent?"

These days houses belong to the government, and you have to pay if you want to rent them.

The woman looked at Secretary Xia.

It means letting him make the decision.

Secretary Xia asked:
"Have you decided to take it?"

Fangyan nodded:
"Well, this place is not bad. I plan to stay here for a while."

When Secretary Xia saw Fang Yan agreed, he said:
"It's okay. Our department will pay the rent for you. Just teach Anton and Sophia well."

"The accommodation here is considered a benefit we give you."

PS: Let me report the results. There is no recommendation at the moment, the average subscription has not changed or dropped, and the monthly votes have increased by 100. This chapter has made up for it, and I still owe you 98,000.

In addition, the editor told me that they are already waiting in line for recommendation. If the sales are good, they will be recommended as the best seller. If the sales are average, they will be recommended as the editor-in-chief. If they are recommended as best sellers, they will basically be promoted to the boutique line. So Lao Feng asks everyone to support it and give a full order! Increase sales, thank you all!
There will be another chapter later, Lao Feng is working hard on writing...
