The days always go by day by day, whether you want it to come early or late! Two days was just two times the earth turned, but in Shi Zhu's opinion, these two days passed really slowly, and he even thought about reaching out and pushing the earth, hoping to make it spin faster.

On this day, Shizhu got up early, in fact, he couldn't sleep at night tossing and turning - maybe this is the inheritance of the family, but the young man's spirit is full of head, and he doesn't seem to be tired in the slightest. After packing up and stopping, Shi Zhu led a few people, drove three carriages, and embarked on the first journey of his life under Zhu Guanglian's repeated instructions.

This time, because it was the first time to send supplies, I only arranged to send them in the direction of Laojuntang. Zhu Guanglian matched Shizhu with five people: his nephew Zhu Huaiqing, Zhang Lin, the son of Lao Zhangtou, and Zhu Guanglian's own old subordinate Lu Si and the two brothers Xu Wei and Xu Xu.

Zhu Huaiqing was just called by Zhu Guanglian two days ago, half a year older than Shizhu, he hadn't read much, he only knew some words, but he was more clever in doing things. Zhu Guanglian asked Shi Zhu to take him, firstly, to exercise for his nephew, and secondly, he and Shi Zhu were the same age, and the two of them could still talk something. Lao Zhangtou's son Zhang Lin is in his early twenties, medium build, slightly fat, and has been here for more than a year, and Zhu Guanglian also likes him to be calm, just like his father Lao Zhangtou. The remaining three, since Zhu Guanglian first set up a transportation line in Dapu, have followed him, all of them are sturdy, diligent in their work, never lazy and slippery, Zhu Guanglian values them very much.

Shi Zhu took the convoy to the designated place, loaded the supplies and went straight to Laojuntang. Along the way, a few Japanese planes were occasionally seen flying around, but they did not drop bombs - as is often the case these days, presumably to scout for intelligence. When they arrived at Laojuntang, after the group unloaded the materials, the stone pillar breathed a sigh of relief and finally made a good start.

On the way back, these people began to chat, after all, Shizhu is their leader, and Zhu Guanglian's nephew, at first several people called Shizhu Shaodongjia, but Shizhu said that he was not the owner, this title is really inappropriate, and he is still young, let a few people call him Shizhu directly.

However, a few veteran guys knew that they were working for other people, and their status had to be respectful and low, so Lu Si said: "We all work with you, how can we call your name directly!" So, how about we call you 'Young Master Shi'? ”

The two brothers of the Xu family also followed and said, "Yes, you can't call your name directly." Just follow what Lu Laosi said, call you 'Young Master Shi'! ”

Seeing that they were so persistent, Shi Zhu agreed. Except for Zhu Huaiqing who directly called Shizhu by name, the rest, including several people who were recruited after the business expanded, all called Shizhu "Young Master Shi". Although this title is slightly more pleasant to the ear than that of Shao Dongjia, Shi Zhu still feels awkward to sound - it's just a title, why should these people take it so seriously? Later, I heard too much, and no one thought about it anymore.

The first day had a good start, and then it was easy to do, and the group went on step by step: load the materials at the designated place and send them to the designated place, and then unload the materials according to the instructions of the contact. Sometimes only one place is sent a day, sometimes two places are sent, or all three places are sent, but in general, Lao Juntang sends the most materials, the port and Xishu are the front lines, and the logistics materials sent are relatively less.

When delivering supplies to Laojuntang, Shi Zhu often heard the sound of guns shooting halfway up the mountain, and he knew that it was the recruits practicing guns. Stone Pillar can see guns here almost every day, but he has never touched a gun, let alone shot a gun. So every time he heard the sound of a recruit shooting, he had an inexplicable urge to go halfway up the mountain to have a look.

After delivering the supplies that day, Shizhu saw that it was still early, so he asked a few guys to go back first and go to the mountainside to have a look.

At this time, Lu Si said to Shi Zhu: "Young Master Shi, you and the owner have both signed, the mountainside is a training place, I'm afraid you can't go, right?" ”

"Lao Lu, don't worry, the sign is that there are still troop positions on the top of the mountain that are not allowed to trespass, and the mountainside is a place for military training, everyone knows that, it is not a military restricted area, and besides, I just look at it from a distance, so I don't get in the way!" After the stone pillar finished speaking, he slipped away and went to the mountainside.

When the men saw that the stone pillars had climbed up the mountainside, they had no choice but to go back to the trading house first.

The stone pillar climbed halfway up the mountain, found a flat place, and hid behind the stone to watch the recruits practice their guns from a distance. Shi Zhu saw that some people were practicing raising guns and assassinating, and the rest of the people were practicing target shooting over there, and he was really envious of the dead! Although the target was on a steep slope and not in the direction of the stone pillar, the stone pillar was still worried that if a bullet bounced to his side, it would be dangerous, so he poked his head out from behind the stone and watched with envy. He was so engrossed in it that someone crept up to him without noticing.

"Who, don't move!" Shi Zhu came back to his senses when he heard this reprimand, turned his head and looked, and at some point two soldiers came behind him, and two guns were facing him. "What is this sneaky peek at! Is it a Japanese spy? Say it! The two men continued to shout.

Shi Zhu hurriedly stood up and said, "Two little brothers, I am sending supplies down the mountain, and I heard the sound of you practicing guns, so I just wanted to come and have a look." I'm not a spy, I don't believe you look at my papers! With that, he reached out and took something into his arms.

The two little soldiers instantly became nervous, who knew what the person in front of him would take out of his arms! The shorter one immediately shouted, "Don't move, put your hands up!" ”

"If we move again, we'll shoot!" The taller one also shouted.

The stone pillar was frightened by this sudden formation, reflexively retracted his hand, and immediately raised his two hands. At this time, his mind was already blank, and it was not until he heard the two minions urging him to move forward.

The two soldiers escorted the stone pillar to the side of the training ground, ran to an officer and said: "Report to the battalion commander, we found a person hiding behind the stone sneaky during the patrol, suspecting that it was a Japanese spy and brought him!" ”

The battalion commander looked at the stone pillar and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

At this time, the stone pillar was surrounded by a few small soldiers holding their hands, and their heads were also pressed, so they couldn't see the person who spoke at all, so they had to lower their heads and say: "I am sending supplies to you down the mountain, I am curious about your target here, and I want to come and have a look." I'm not a spy, I have papers in my arms! Besides, you are not a military forbidden place here, you didn't say that you wouldn't let people see it! ”

The battalion commander glanced at the person next to him, and then the documents in Shizhu's arms were taken out by his subordinates. After reading the documents, he said to his subordinates: "It's really a mountain to send supplies." Let him go! ”

A few small soldiers let go of their hands, and Shi Zhu raised his head and flicked his wrists a few times, thinking that the strength of these soldiers was quite strong, and his arms were twisted painfully after a while. When he saw the person standing in front of him, he was stunned at first, and then said in surprise: "Are you Company Commander Yan?" ”

The shorter man just now immediately scolded: "What company commander! This is the Yan battalion commander of our new barracks! I'm about to be promoted to vice president! ”

Camp Commander Yan looked at the stone pillar and asked suspiciously, "...... are you?" ”

"I'm Shizhu, ten years ago, you led people in Hongzhuang in the East China Sea to save me and my grandmother from the bandit Liu Fulong! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my grandmother and I would have been beaten to death by bandits that day! ”

"Ah, yes, I remember! It's been ten years, and you're so old! Battalion Commander Yan was also a little surprised, and after finishing speaking, he said to the little soldier next to him: "Let's go to practice, it's a misunderstanding, he is indeed a native of Haizhou, not a spy!" ”

The small soldiers who were watching the excitement on the side dispersed. Company Commander Yan suddenly shouted at one of them again: "Dai Dayan, you come here!" ”

At this time, the shorter man just now immediately turned his head and ran over and asked, "Battalion commander, what's the matter?" ”

Battalion Commander Yan said to Dai Dayan: "I think Shizhu wants to see the target, you are the best marksman among the recruits, take him around, and you can also teach him to shoot." In the future, the stone pillars can come to our recruit camp at any time. I will follow the above in this matter, and it will not violate discipline! Then he said to the pillar, "But remember, you must remember that you are only allowed to come, and you must not bring anyone else!" ”

"Yes!" Dai Dayan respectfully received the order, and then took the stone pillar to the target place. Shi Zhu also thanked Camp Commander Yan while agreeing, and then followed Dai Dayan happily.

As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, this little misunderstanding can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, he can not only see the gun up close, but also practice a few shots from time to time to have a good time. Later, Shi Zhu also learned a lot of firearms knowledge from Dai Dayan, at least he could still know how to insure and use the gun in his hand, so as not to get stuck in the shell at the moment of emergency.

Shi Zhu made a few robberies under the guidance of Dai Dayan, and he didn't know if he hit the target. Seeing that it was not early, he left the boot barracks. After returning to the trading house, Shi Zhu told Zhu Guanglian what happened, and Zhu Guanglian was beaten down.

At this time, Shizhu's concubine came over and said to Zhu Guanglian: "His father, don't talk about the pillar, he is such an adult, after you do things well, you can go with him to play." Besides, the mountainside is not a forbidden place, and after those who are soldiers shoot targets, aren't there still many people who go to pick up bullet shells and sell them as scrap iron? Those people can go in, but they can't look at the pillars! ”

"Look, as soon as I said a few words, you came over to help my nephew speak! I'm also worried, in case Shizhu accidentally eats the gun, or the two of them shake their hands and shoot, how do you say I can explain to her dead mother? Zhu Guanglian said.

Then, Zhu Guanglian turned to the stone pillar and said: "Pillar, fortunately, nothing happened today, you have to pay attention next time, more things are better than less, things are over, don't you stay good?" Okay, there's something to do tomorrow, you have some food, hurry up and have a good rest! ”

When Zhu Guanglian said this, Shi Zhu really felt hungry. He also knew that Zhu Guanglian was for his own good, so he didn't say anything to refute it, but just agreed with a "uh-huh" in his mouth, and then left the hall to go to the pot house to eat.

Maybe it was during the day that he met Battalion Commander Yan, who was still the company commander ten years ago, and this inadvertently touched Shi Zhu's memory cells from the subconscious, and that night, Shi Zhu had that nightmare again. In the dream, at first, the two little soldiers in the day pointed a gun at themselves, and then suddenly a strong wind blew, and in an instant the sky was dark, flying sand and rocks, and the heavy rain was pouring down, and the two people in front of them seemed to have become Liu Fulong's appearance, holding a gun to himself like a hideous devil. A gunshot woke the stone pillar from his dream, and he broke out in a cold sweat. When the stone pillar opened his eyes, it was still dark outside, and it was raining at some point.

After dawn, Shizhu led a few people to Xishu to deliver supplies in the rain. When they arrived at the place, the stone pillar saw that the ground was pitted, as if it had been hit by a cannonball, and some plants and trees were obviously roasted by the fire. Shi Zhu went to ask Liu Zhigen, who contacted him, what had happened.

Liu Zhigen lit a bag of dry tobacco, and said to Shizhu while smoking: "It was hit by a cannonball on a Japanese devil warship." These bunnies, when the day was just dawning, tried to take advantage of the rain to carry out a surprise attack, and a dozen small boats, under the cover of artillery, tried to hit the shore, but were beaten away by our brethren in the forward position. I don't know if these little devils are real bears or fake bears, just that little bit of people want to hit them? Is it purely looking for death? ”

After hearing this, Shi Zhu said: "Uncle Liu, you say, do these little Japan want to test our firepower?" ”

Liu Zhigen took a deep breath of cigarette at this time, patted Shi Zhu's shoulder and said, "You kid can still see it accurately!" I estimate that this time Little Japan wants to test the side of the ruin, and the next target should be to test the side of Sunjiashan. You kid have to be careful when you send things over there, maybe the little devil's cannonballs will hit at some point. ”

While the two were talking, they only heard the sound of a car skidding in the rain, and following the sound, Shizhu found that a car was stuck in the mud. The driver tried to drive out, but made several round-trips without success. Shi Zhu already likes to help people, and when he saw this, he called a few guys over, and everyone worked hard together, and finally pushed the car out of the mud pit.

After the car drove out of the mud puddle, the driver got out of the car and thanked Shizhu again and again, and asked Shizhu: "Little brother, what do you call it?" ”

Shi Zhu said, "My name is Shi Zhu, and I am here to deliver things here." ”

The driver said: "Brother Shizhu, in the next week, I have been driving for the troops for more than ten years, but I didn't expect that I still can't beat such a small puddle!" Zhou Ji said this with a clear joking tone, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face. Afterwards, he continued to say to Shi Zhu: "Just thanks to Brother Shi Zhu! I don't have any skills, if you want to learn to drive, learn to repair cars, or something, just ask me. Without affecting official business, the custody will teach you to drive and repair cars with first-class skills! ”

Shi Zhu was naturally happy when he heard this, and felt that it was always good to learn more things, so after some "hard work, not enough to worry about", he said: "Brother Zhou is really polite, but if you really want to learn to drive in the future, go to you, don't regret it!" ”

"Definitely not! I'm here if I don't get out of the car, just look for me! Zhou Ji said briskly.

At this time, the supplies on the carriage were also unloaded, and Shi Zhu and Zhou Ji said goodbye to each other. Shi Zhu took his men to Laojuntang again, and then returned to the trading house. After returning to the trading house, the rain gradually subsided, and after a while, when the rain had completely stopped, the sun in the west suddenly ran out and shone crystal clear everywhere.

The next day, Shizhu had to go to Sunjiashan to deliver supplies, perhaps because of the rain yesterday, but today the weather is very sunny and the sky is cloudless.

Just as they were about to finish unloading their things, suddenly there was a burst of cannons, and the horses were agitated, jumping up their front hooves and neighing. Shi Zhu hurriedly instructed everyone to take the horse and find a place to hide. Fortunately, this cannon was mainly aimed at the front position, and the stone pillar only hit a few shells and then did not move.

When the group came out of the bunker, all they could hear was the crackling firefight on the other side of the position, accompanied by the dull sound of cannons—the two sides were firing at each other. Shi Zhu thought to himself, he really let Uncle Liu say that the Japanese devils would attack the position of Sunjiashan so quickly.

The battle lasted only about 20 minutes, and before the Japanese marines could reach the shore, they returned to the big ship with a few corpses and a dozen small boats full of bullet holes, and had no intention of continuing the attack. In Shi Zhu's opinion, this was another obvious tentative attack.

No one was killed in the battle, but three were seriously wounded. When the three seriously wounded were carried down, Shi Zhu saw that the face of the one who hit the head was covered in blood, and his shirt was almost half dyed red; The left leg in the middle has been blown off, and jagged minced meat can be seen at the fracture, and the right leg has also been blown to a bloody blur, and even the bones on the leg can be seen clearly, and the mouth keeps shouting "My legs, my legs!"; And the one in the back, whose stomach was blown open, and his intestines almost didn't fall out, the man covered his stomach with an expression of extreme pain on his face.....

After seeing it, Shi Zhu instantly felt like his stomach was overturned, but with his own perseverance, he couldn't bear it and didn't vomit it. But several guys had already hid on the side and bent down to vomit "wow, wow, ......", especially the younger Zhu Huaiqing and Zhang Lin, who were about to vomit bile. These are all workers working as coolies in the docks, where have they seen such a bloody scene, it is good that they have not vomited and fainted.

The medical soldier next to him saw a few people like this, and hurriedly brought some hot water. After the wounded man was carried away, several people drank some water and thanked the medics, which relieved a lot.

At this moment, a tall soldier with a very muscular appearance walked over, this person had a different dark face from the other soldiers, and his skin looked quite white. He said to the stone pillar with disdain: "A few big men, when they see this scene, they vomit like this, they don't have any interest at all, they look like a girl......

Shi Zhu was unhappy when he heard this, and said to the soldier: "This brother, it's not right for you to say this, several of us are coolies, and we don't see more blood than you soldiers, so it's normal to vomit a little." It's you, except for this little muscle, you look like a woman, you have the ability to make two moves, let you see who is the girl! ”

The man was not angry, but circled around the stone pillar, and said as he walked: "Hey, the person is not big, but the tone is not small." Want to fight with me Zhao Tiequan? I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications yet! Unless, you have the ability to fight one against three! ”

After that, the man said to a relatively thin soldier next to him: "Monkey, you have two tricks with this kid first, remember to start lightly, lest people say that we are bullying the little hairy boy!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Da hurriedly grabbed the stone pillar and said softly: "Young Master Shi, if we don't go, just say that there are still things to do, why do you have to be like these people!" It would be a shame to be thrown into the mud by a dog here! We can't even lift our heads when we send things later. "These guys don't know that Shi Zhu has some skills, and Shi Zhu has never been shown to outsiders at present, so they are naturally afraid that Shi Zhu will suffer.

"Old Lu, don't worry, I know it in my heart!" Shi Zhu said after listening to Lu Da's words.

At this time, a lot of people came around. As he spoke, the monkey had already stood in front of the stone pillar, staring at the stone pillar with both eyes, and had the advantage in momentum. I saw him shrug his shoulders, his head shook from side to side twice, and after doing this warm-up, he rushed towards the stone pillar.

Shi Zhu was not in a hurry, first clenched his fists, one in front of the other, and then his legs naturally separated one after the other. When the monkey arrived, a right straight fist came straight to the face of the stone pillar, and the stone pillar flicked his left hand, and the golden snake swung his head with a move, flashed his head to the right side slightly, and easily dodged it; Immediately, Shizhu's right hand struck the monkey in the abdomen, but was also blocked by the monkey's left hand - neither of them took advantage of this first round.

The monkey is relatively thin, and his body is a little flexible, and when he saw that he did not take advantage of his hand, he made a move with his side leg, and his right foot still swept straight towards the head of the stone pillar, and the stone pillar bent down to dodge, and the monkey's leg brushed the tip of the stone pillar's hair, but did not kick the stone pillar; The right foot of the stone pillar swept the monkey's left leg off the ground at once. At this time, the monkey lost its center of gravity, if ordinary people would have fallen to the ground heavily, but the monkey was indeed flexible, and I saw that at the moment when he lost his center of gravity, with the help of the strength of his waist, he did a backflip with both hands on the ground, and fell to the ground steadily, and did not fall.

When the monkey wanted to step forward again, Zhao Tiequan stopped him.

Several of the guys were dumbfounded when they saw Shi Zhu's kung fu, they never knew that the seventeen-year-old boy in front of them would have such skills, and they were all impressed by Shi Zhu from then on. In fact, it was not just a few of them, even Zhao Tiequan, who was a little arrogant just now, now looked at Shi Zhu differently. In his opinion, the monkey has already lost half of it, and if he continues to fight, I am afraid that the monkey will suffer. Besides, his original intention was just to let the monkey try the boy in front of him, and just click on it.

"I can't see it, you kid has two hits! How do you call it? Zhao Tiequan's words lacked the previous disdainful tone.

"The contemptible stone pillar is here to send supplies!" Shi Zhu said.

"Little brother Shizhu, do you have the courage to fight three people alone?"

"Why not try? Even if you lose, there's no shame! Shi Zhu replied after a moment's thought.

When Zhao Tiequan saw Shi Zhu answer like this, he admired it even more, and then said to Shi Zhu: "Don't worry, the three I picked are ordinary soldiers, not us practitioners, and I won't embarrass you!" Then he said to the people beside him, "You three come out and make a comparison with him." ”

At this time, several of Shizhu's buddies were fascinated, and even Lu Da forgot to persuade him, and several people even wanted to see how powerful Shizhu was with the attitude of watching the excitement.

In fact, in the one-and-a-half second of the time he thought about before agreeing, Shi Zhu thought about the trick he pondered at home after being beaten by Ding Facai a few people a few years ago, and the most important thing is to be fast, as long as he can break the opponent in a short time, it should not be a problem to deal with three people. It's just that those are all fantasies, and Shi Zhu just wants to take today's opportunity to try whether his crowd attack is good or not. Even if it is not good, if you lose with one enemy and three enemies, you will not feel faceless.

At this time, the three people who were called out by Zhao Tiequan had already surrounded the stone pillar in the middle and assumed an offensive posture. Shi Zhu knew that the premise of "striking the crowd" was to stagger the opponent and break each one, and if the three of them attacked together, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist it, so he deliberately took the opportunity to parry and get closer to the person he felt weaker.

After the fight, Shi Zhu followed his own ideas with wave hooks, elbow strikes, crane leg swings, and forward kicks, so after some effort, the three fell to the ground one after another. Shi Zhu was secretly happy in his heart, this trick really worked. The surrounding group of soldiers and a few of the guys from the stone pillar were all clapping and applauding. Zhao Tiequan also nodded again and again, because he knew that the three people he was looking for casually, even if they were not masters, were still much stronger than ordinary people, and it really took some kung fu to defeat these three people.

When the three of them stood up and wanted to attack again, Zhao Tiequan stopped him again and said, "Okay, you all stand down, Brother Shizhu is not our real enemy, stop it!" Then he said to Shizhu: "Brother Shizhu, do you have the courage to fight with me?" ”

Shi Zhu was young and vigorous, and he had just defeated the three of them, and he was on the rise, so he directly agreed: "What don't you dare?" Compare to compare! ”

Just when Shi Zhu was about to step forward, Xu Wei took the first step and said to Shi Zhu: "Young Master Shi, we still have something to do, and we have to go to Laojun Hall to send something." It just rained, and the road is not good today, so I'm afraid there is no time to delay any longer. Besides, if a few people beat you, isn't it obvious that they are bullying people! ”

Xu Yan also said: "My eldest brother is right, you engage in wheel warfare, what kind of heroes are you, you are obviously bullying!" ”

At this time, Zhao Tiequan thought for a while and said: "What you said has some truth, Brother Shizhu has already consumed a lot of strength just now, if you fight me again, even if I win him, it will be disgraceful!" You still have something to do today, and it's important to get down to business. The coming day will be longer, and when the Shizhu brothers have time, we can compete again another day. ”

"Don't wait, I'll have time tomorrow!" Shi Zhu didn't think about it, and directly agreed.

"Okay, then tomorrow morning, I'll be waiting for you here!" Zhao Tiequan also said cheerfully.

Then, Shi Zhu took a few men to Laojuntang again. Along the way, several people praised the stone pillar and held the stone pillar so embarrassed that they were embarrassed. In the hearts of several guys, their admiration for the stone pillar exploded instantly, and they were finally able to understand why Zhu Guanglian would let the stone pillar be fully responsible for sending supplies to the troops.

Speaking of Zhu Guanglian, at this time, Shi Zhu muttered in his heart, he caused some trouble at the shooting range of the Laojuntang new barracks a few days ago, and today he fought with someone in the army, if his uncle knew about this, he might not be able to blame him, and I don't know if he can go to compete with Zhao Tiequan tomorrow. He can't hide it if he wants to, even if he doesn't say it, these guys won't be so tight-mouthed. Such a big matter, as soon as he returned to the firm, it is estimated that Zhu Guanglian would know immediately. After a while, Shizhu simply didn't want to think about it, anyway, things are already like this, what do you like, you don't delay the business that your uncle handed over to you, and you always have the right to make a decision about the rest of the things!

So, Shi Zhu took his men and returned to the trading house head-on, waiting for his uncle's reproach.
