A.D. 1929, the 18th year of the Republic of China.

【Five Elements】Haichuan Jin Po is in charge

【Chong】Chonglong (Jiachen) is in the north

[Appropriate] sacrifice to lift the broken house and ruin, do not take the rest

[Don't] everything is not appropriate

Under the bronzing sign of the new Shengtai shoe store, Zhao Chunlai was squatting on the threshold of his own shoe store three inches and six minutes high, smoking unhurriedly, his face was half-bright and half-dark by the sunset, and in front of him was a shabby old yellow calendar, he was staring at the four black characters of "everything is not appropriate" on the yellow calendar in a daze.

Spring is not far away, summer has arrived, the island city is the time when the climate is pleasant, today's little rain just hit the heat that has just emerged, at this time if you set up a table and stool in the courtyard, lined with a cool breeze, fry the clams (ga) clams (la), and then haha the beer brewed by the Germans, that taste, not to mention how nourishing.

But Zhao Chunlai couldn't get up.

Originally, he didn't want to open the door today, Huang Li said, everything is not appropriate, not to mention that his own shoes can never wait for people, only people wait for shoes - as a famous time-honored brand in the island city, his shoe store has always been three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, but as long as it is the day of the opening, people who come to order shoes early in the morning have to line up from the door of the store to the edge of the road. Let him wait for others, but it's really the first time that a big girl gets on the sedan chair.

Because this guest is a guest he can't afford to offend.

It's not because this customer drove a black car to order shoes - eight out of ten customers who came to Xinshengtai to order shoes were driving, and even had to take a rickshaw.

The point is, the guy that guy brought is a thing, Sanhua masturbation!

Zhao Chunlai is not a good man and a woman, when he first opened a store in Pingdu, it was the day when the Qing Dynasty was about to end.

Official.

Zhao Chunlai is the most afraid of officials.

Bandits can ruin wealth, and their functions can ruin their families.

Dealing with bandits, feeling the veins of the beard, and throwing a few more copper plates if you have a bold point, even if you encounter a ruthless and unreasonable one, it is nothing more than a waste of handwork. But when you meet an official, you are fucking a group of white-eyed wolves who can't be fed, not to mention that the shoes are white, and you have to take a few oceans, if you offend ruthlessly, it is not impossible to raid the family and exterminate the clan.

Fortunately, since moving to the island city 20 years ago, life has been much more stable, although the officials here also collect some money, but the food is still Sven, as for the bandits, they do not dare to rush to the city to commit murder, the first is the German, and then the Japanese, no blind beard dares to rush to the city to do business without capital. Although it is inevitable that there are a few ruffians dangling in front of the store to get some oil and water, but he finally has a bodyguard - although that guy claims to be a graduate of Baoding Military Academy, but Zhao Chunlai doesn't believe a word, and he is in his early 20s, and Huangpu can't catch up with the sixth phase after graduation, so he dares to brag about the graduation of Baoding Military Academy, and the graduation of Baoding Military Academy is not dead now, at least it is the level of the battalion commander of the National Revolutionary Army!

By the way, what about the kid? Just now I was thinking about letting him come out to look at the wind, why did he make a fuss and become squatting at the door to watch the wind, who is the shopkeeper? Thinking of this, Zhao Chunlai was furious, threw away the cigarette butt and stepped on the soles of his feet a few times, and shouted towards the door:

"Where's your death from a servant! Let you look at the wind, you are so lazy, don't be lazy today, don't want to have dinner today! ”

There was a sound of leather shoes, and a young man Shi Shiran walked out of the shoe store, in his early twenties, with a thin figure, wearing a white shirt and black pants in the standard Republic of China dress, he was not tall in Shandong Dahan, but he was not short, it was estimated that there was about 1.74 meters, his hair was meticulously combed, his eyes were not very serious, his eyebrows were not thick and ridged, his nose was not high and bulging, his lips were not thick and marked, he was already a little mature in his childishness, and he seemed to be a little clever in his ignorance. The whole person is like a foal that has just come of age, with a kind of jerky violence.

"What are you shouting about the dead old ghost, I didn't see the young master I'm shining shoes inside!"

"Shoeshine? You're stealing Lao Tzu's Laoshan green again, right?! Jingyou Ziwei mouthed the dog leg of Baoding Mansion, Lao Tzu has never seen a dog leg like you, if Baoding Mansion is a dog leg like you, Lafayette will not wait for the Eight-Nation Alliance to enter Beijing and return to the West! also told Lao Tzu that he graduated from Baoding Military Academy, and you made it up like a little bit! ”

Geng Chaozhong didn't speak, with a cigarette in his mouth, and began to squat on the threshold to watch the wind.

In fact, Zhao Chunlai wronged him, Geng Chaozhong really graduated from Baoding Military Academy, but at that time it should be called Shijiazhuang Army Academy.

As soon as the October Revolution sounded, Marxism came to China, and as soon as the tank division of the Baoding Army fired a cannon, Geng Chaozhong came to the Republic of China.

It was a rare live-fire exercise, and Geng Chaozhong, nicknamed "more overweight", could not get into the tank, so he could only act as a "step" in the coordination of infantry and tanks. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with the command system that had not been trained for a long time, and the shells that should have hit Dongshan hit Xishan, and Geng Chaozhong, whose physical strength had dropped and dragged oil bottles behind, became a victim of this mistake and was bombarded by a cannon into the wilderness on the outskirts of Beijing in 1929.

When Geng Chaozhong appeared in Baoding with a black face and tattered clothes, there were no lovely comrades-in-arms and hateful instructors around him, except for the barren mountains and mountains full of barren weeds, Geng Chaozhong could no longer find anyone he knew.

Could this be the legendary time-traveling?

Fortunately, the wilderness survival of the military academy was not in vain, and after digging grass roots and eating leaves to overcome the initial difficulties, Geng Chaozhong finally figured out the situation: Zhang Dashuai of the Feng Department was killed by the Japanese as soon as he ran back to the Northeast, Feng Dashuai was pulling Zhuang Ding around, and Yan Dashuai controlled the city of Beijing, and it seemed that it was not far from the Central Plains War in 1930.

Geng Chaozhong didn't have the consciousness to dedicate himself to the warlord melee, so he decided to go to a place where there was no gunpowder smoke and no war to avoid the limelight - he was not a hot-headed keyboard warrior, he had been a soldier for three years, he knew that guns had no eyes, and he didn't want to be caught and sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

At this time, there were still eight years before the Lugou Bridge Incident, and according to Geng Chaozhong's limited historical knowledge, the only city on the land of China that was not affected by the war in the next eight years may be Qingdao, which is far away on the coast of the East China Sea.

What's more, he has no interest in the civil war at all, and from a modern person's point of view, it is Chinese who kill back and forth, which is really not interesting. It's better to live eight years in peace and stability, and then fight with the Japanese, whether you live or die, you can live and die, and you can live up to this life!

At this time, there was no Internet, no ID card, and the household registration system was also very imperfect, so it was okay to make up nonsense, Geng Chaozhong crossed the bridge by train all the way, occasionally sold some coolies, and came to Qingdao without danger with the body trained in the military academy, and successfully realized his biggest wish when he was in the military academy - to lose weight.

PS: The following will enter the magnificent chapter about tearing wars, but I implore readers to take a look before squirting to avoid being slapped in the face.
