Shang Zhen will never stop exercising.
Because Shang Zhen is not stupid.
Why is it that among the same country people, some grow bigger and better vegetables while others grow vegetables that are as sparse as the hair on a thorny plant?
Why is it that some people can make a fortune by doing business just by going to the city, while some people end up having no children in their entire lives - it's all in vain.
Why is it that some apprentices who learn to be carpenters can become masters after a few years and become famous in the village, while others can only become carpenters who make tables and benches.
Whether it was his deceased father, his third brother Li Fushun, or the current Old Huo, they all had told him or were still telling him a truth, that is, only those who endure hardships can become the best.
Shang Zhen never thought that he would become a superior person, but he wanted to survive. On the basis of staying alive, he hoped that he could kill more Japanese to avenge his relatives.
In other words, even if he couldn't avenge his relatives, when he was being chased by Japanese soldiers, he should at least run faster than that bastard Hou Kanshan!
Of course, Shang Zhen's idea was only limited to Hou Kanshan, because he firmly believed that Hou Kanshan must have thought the same.
On the day Shang Zhen and his companions returned to Ningyuan County, it started to rain and snow, and then the snowflakes fell intermittently for two or three days. After the snow stopped, the weather became cold.
But there will be late cold snaps in spring. Even when winter comes, the weather will never get cold all of a sudden. Just when everyone thinks the snow will stop, the weather turns warmer and the snow melts everywhere again.
Shang Zhen, who was eager to improve his physical fitness and develop real skills, didn't care about these things? His training was impeccable.
The result was that on the second day after he started training, he felt a little hot on his forehead. He knew without asking that he had caught a cold.
But Shang Zhen continued to practice in the yard. He felt that he was young and would be fine after a good sleep on the warm kang at night.
And in fact, this was exactly the case. Although he was thin, he was young and strong after all. When he woke up before dawn the next day, the drowsy feeling was gone, and he got up again and went to the yard to exercise.
But the weather was hot and cold, and his small body couldn't withstand all the exertion. During the day, he felt his forehead was hot and he became drowsy again.
But he didn't care and continued to practice. At night, he drank hot water and slept on the warm kang to make his hair sweat. After a night's sleep, he was as strong as a dragon and a tiger again!
Shang Zhen just kept on doing this. He didn't care what other people thought or how things were going outside.
Although he didn't know what he had turned his body into, he knew that on the tenth day of his practice, although the temperature dropped and the water outside the house had frozen and would never melt, he no longer had headaches or fevers.
Shang Zhen, who had no scientific and cultural knowledge, did not know that he had improved his immunity through this kind of exercise!
Shang Zhen certainly hoped to continue practicing like this until he became stronger. However, as the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? The Japanese had already taken Jinzhou and HLD, and next would be Ningyuan.
On the morning of the 15th day after Shang Zhen and his companions arrived in Ningyuan County, Shang Zhen was playing with a big hat in the yard, while his companions were pointing at him and commenting on him.
"Come on, Shang Zhen, you can now count to 200!" This was Erhanzi shouting.
"Ma Gan'er, this trick of yours is pretty good. It's called pouring out the candle!" Hou Kanshan was mocking and criticizing him from the side.
"Shang Zhen, if you can hold on to 500 numbers, I will come down and compete with you!" This was said by Qiu Bo from the side. Shang Zhen's hard work finally paid off, which has aroused Qiu Bo's competitive spirit.
As for the others, they said all kinds of things. As the two senior people in their group, Lao Huotou was sitting on a broken chair, looking at Kaba's eyes, and Wang Laomao was smoking a pipe.
At this moment, the old and dilapidated courtyard door was pushed open with a "creak", and a soldier in gray military uniform was standing at the door, and everyone fell silent.
"Who among you is the fool?" the man asked. He was the communicator of the regiment, and he was the one who reported any happenings in the regiment.
"I am," Erhanzi replied in a muffled voice, but he was not the only one stunned. Everyone else was stunned too. Was Erhanzi so famous? Even the entire regiment knew him.
"Come with me!" the man said.
"Ah?" Erhanzi was naturally stupid and then stunned.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Qian Chuan'er asked directly because he was concerned about Erhanzi. He felt that he had a good relationship with the signalman, so he dared to ask.
"Come on, all of you." The signalman said casually, "We caught a few spies. One of them said he knew someone called Erhanzi. I remember there's an Erhanzi among you."
The person who came turned and left, and the people behind him exchanged glances suspiciously and then followed him.
"Brother, don't speak halfway. What's going on?" Qian Chuaner asked as he followed the man.
"Are you worried that your brother might be caught as a spy?" the signalman said with a smile. "Then you better be careful. Who among you has a gun? That person could be the one who gets caught!"
After the signalman said this, Qian Chuaner felt relieved. He knew that the signalman was just playing a joke on him.
Now, among their group, he is not the only one who has a box gun. Shang Zhen, Lao Huotou and Wang Laomao also have a box gun each.
The box guns of these three people were all seized from that smiling tiger.
At that time, in order to leave a way for Smiling Tiger to survive, Old Huo, who used to be a bearded man, kept the useful box gun for himself and gave the extra rifles they had with them to Smiling Tiger and his men.
Since Shang Zhen also got a box gun, Hou Kanshan was very dissatisfied with this, but so what? Just as he expressed his dissatisfaction, Old Huo just glanced at Wang Laomao, and Wang Laomao cursed him.
Shang Zhen is the leader elected by everyone. I, Wang Laomao, now listen to Shang Zhen. Are you, Hou Kanshan, seeking death?
The regiment headquarters was not far from the courtyard where Shang Zhen and his companions lived. When Shang Zhen and his companions saw that the soldiers standing at the gate of the courtyard had no intention of putting down their guns, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the communicator just said it, how could they not worry that if a spy said he knew Erhanzi, would people think they were all spies?
Not taking their guns means that they are naturally recognized as their own people.
After the signalman reported, Shang Zhen and his men filed in. At that moment, they saw a row of people kneeling in the middle of the yard. Opposite that row of people was the regiment commander who had taken them in.
"The person you are looking for is here. Does he know you?" This was spoken by another officer next to the regimental commander, a chief of staff.
Shang Zhen and his group all looked towards the row of people kneeling, and at this time that row of people also turned their heads.
When their eyes swept across the row of people, Erhanzi suddenly shouted in surprise: "Haha, little dustpan, you are still alive!"
