There are only two powers in the world: the sword and the mind. In the long run, the sword is always defeated by thought. - Napoleon

The morning of January 1, 2013 seemed to have come very early.

On a bitterly cold winter morning, despite the cold, there is a rare glimmer of warm sunlight in the east, and the sun gradually jumps out of the horizon, dressing the earth, mountains, forests, and snowfields in a golden coat. The sun rose higher and higher, shooting out ten thousand golden rays, and a few white clouds floating in the air were gilded with a brilliant gold edge in an instant, and then dyed rose.

At the same time, the eastern half of the sky was dyed red, like a large shining satin. The golden sunlight sprinkled on the ground, and the snow on the ground was sprinkled with golden light, adding a bit of charm to the winter days after the disaster. The sunshine that has not been seen for many days is also sprinkled in the hearts of the villagers, making the villagers feel warm and no longer afraid of the cold of winter.

The warm sun, the dazzling sun, the moist sun, through the layers of clouds, illuminate the earth, but also illuminate the way for people to move forward.

Villagers gathered under the school's flagpole, their eyes eagerly staring at the tall veteran standing on the flagstand.

Li Baoqiang was also looking at the villagers, the villagers were dressed in poor clothes, their faces were full of dust, their faces were vicissitudes, there was sadness in their eyes, and they were looking forward to it, Li Baoqiang felt that he had a huge responsibility.

"Today is the first day of January in 2013, the first day of the new year." After being silent for a long time, Li Baoqiang said loudly.

"In the past ten days, we have lost our loved ones, our homes, and all the joys that modern civilization has brought us." The villagers listened quietly, recalling.

"For ten days we were accompanied by pain, hunger, robbery, murder, insults, fear, and we came to hell on earth.

Natural disasters are not terrible, the most feared is **, the annihilation of human nature, the loss of conscience, for a little food, for a warm clothes, you can ignore the life and death of others, kill people and goods, rob and loot, the harsh reality has destroyed the most simple morality, humanity and trust between us. ”

"I have a dream that there will be no more hunger in the world, no more disease in the world, no more killing in the world, no more wars in the world. From now on, the sky will be bluer, the water will be greener, the elderly will live a long and healthy life, the children will grow up healthily, and everyone will be happy. ”

"Now I'm willing to be your village chief, your head. I want to lead you out of this difficult situation and rebuild your home. ”

"We have to face a bright future, we have to hold up our stubborn heads, we have to stand up our unyielding backbones, we have to ignite that fiery heart, move forward, and move forward towards a bright future."

"I swear, keep you fed! I swear, keep you warm! I swear I won't let you be bullied again! I swear! ”

Li Baoqiang made a firm promise, and his voice became louder and louder.

At this time, the golden sunlight was shining on Li Baoqiang, who was dressed in green camouflage, making Li Baoqiang's body reflect a brilliant light. Li Baoqiang's words hit people's hearts word by word, Li Baoqiang's golden figure, impassioned oath, people were strongly shocked, and they had a strong feeling of wanting to worship.

Even the calm Professor Zhao was infected, he didn't expect that this veteran, who had asked to collect food at the beginning, would now have such a powerful aura and infectiousness.

Zhao Xiaoxiao's eyes shot a look of admiration, in her eyes, the veteran who could only fight and kill, the current image is so tall.

After Li Baoqiang finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked the female soldiers to bring up the three gangsters who were tied up to death. People don't know what Li Baoqiang is going to do.

Li Baoqiang pointed at the three gangsters and said loudly to the people: "After the disaster, these three bastards did all kinds of evil and lost their conscience. A public trial is going to be held here today, and then killed. ”

When the thugs heard this, they saw the angry eyes of the crowd, especially the female soldiers' clenched lips and hands holding iron rods trembling with excitement, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, crying: "We were wrong, spare us, we were really wrong." ”

The thugs did really regret it. When they saw Li Baoqiang nailing their first army to the wall, and when the first army stabbed to death the buddy who was bullying women, they regretted it, and they knew why they lost their humanity in the first place today.

Li Baoqiang pulled out the military thorn and slowly walked towards the gangsters, and the crowd also stirred, although they were used to seeing killing and blood, but because of human nature, they still couldn't bear to see blood splashed on the spot.

Walking in front of the gangsters, Li Baoqiang slowly raised the military thorn and threw it out suddenly, and the gangsters fainted with fright.

The people also screamed, but the thorns were deep into the ground.

Li Baoqiang pulled out his military thorn, looked at the crowd quietly, said nothing more, and then turned around and returned to the conference room.

People seem to understand something.

The gangsters are then watched to work to dig a long, deep trench, the foundation of a wall of the future, and in the process of labor, the gangsters are transforming.

The fat man Wang Zhiming is indeed a talent, through his mouth, Li Baoqiang killed the vicious dog, dodged the bullets, killed the bastard, the war of rats was told by him that it was a lot of flowers, out of the blue, who in the last days did not want to learn a few more tricks to save his life, so the recruitment team was full, and after the combat team gathered the number of twenty people, the fat man unwillingly pushed the rest of the people to the team to collect materials, and the team was also gathered by Zhang Juncai and was preparing to go.

Zhao Xiaoxiao gathered the schoolchildren and started the class. Lang Lang's reading fills the campus, bringing great hope to busy people.

Professor Zhao and He Qun are surveying the terrain in preparation for the construction of future defense facilities.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the construction of Hope Village is officially on the right track.

At this time, Li Baoqiang and Liu Junsheng were studying weapon production.

Liu Junsheng has moved all the tools and acetylene cylinders of his garage to the garage in front of the school, and he has also collected a large number of hardware tools and equipment, as well as a manual lathe.

Li Baoqiang gathered the iron rods of the female soldiers and wanted to make a spear head. He weighed the iron rod in his hand, it was too heavy, it was really difficult for the female soldiers, who had been holding it in his hand like a baby for the past few days.

Li Baoqiang and Liu Jun discussed for a while, and decided to use these rebar rods with a diameter of 20 mm to directly build a shuttle dart tip that grows into a 40 centimeter, the first 30 centimeters are the tip of the spear, the two edges and two ridges are shaped like a wide-backed dagger, and the grip is rolled into a cylinder, which can be inserted into the ash stick.

Liu Junsheng is also a skilled craftsman, and his years of experience in sheet metal work have enabled him to accumulate a wealth of hands-on ability. As soon as he said it, Liu Junsheng found two old blacksmith masters who usually made hoes and sickles in the town, lit a fire, and burned the charcoal. Li Baoqiang instructed them to cut the rebar into forty centimeters long, put them into the furnace fire to heat, a master pulled the bellows, and the steel rod turned red and softened after a while, Liu Junsheng quickly took it out, clamped it on the vice, twisted the two steel rods into twists, and then kept heating and beating, and the two twisted steel rods finally came together, knocking out the shape of the tip of the gun, and the tail of the tip of the gun took a long time, and finally rolled into a cylinder.

After quenching, Liu Junsheng found a grinding stone, grinded off the floating ash iron slag, opened the tip of the gun, and was surprised to find that the tip of the gun was covered with beautiful patterns one by one, like flowing water, wonderful and abnormal. Could this be the legendary Damascus knife craft? Liu Junsheng looked at Li Baoqiang in surprise.

Li Baoqiang smiled silently, this was taught to him by Li Baoqiang after he rescued a master who made Miao knives when he was on a mission in the Miao family. In fact, Chinese culture has a long history, and it is the ancestor of other nations in the production of knives, but it is constantly lost due to various reasons.

Li Baoqiang found a wooden stick, inserted it into the barrel of the gun, and a domineering shuttle dart was completed. After Li Baoqiang questioned the three of them, he learned that there were ash trees on the mountain, and excitedly imagined the image of female soldiers wielding pike darts.

Li Baoqiang told Liu Junsheng and the three of them to pay attention to the confidentiality of the production process, and the three nodded in agreement. Liu Junsheng suggested that these rebar bars should be made into another batch of daggers and long knives, otherwise it would be a pity. Li Baoqiang thought about it, drew a few schematic diagrams of Miao knives and special daggers, and asked the three of them to try their best to build 30 Miao knives and 30 special daggers, and 100 shuttle darts, explained the precautions, and left the production room.

Li Baoqiang took six female soldiers to the low slope behind the school to observe the terrain. Wu Chun excitedly looked at the shuttle dart given to her by Li Baoqiang in her hand, the bright tip of the gun, the wonderful pattern, taking advantage of the weight of her hand, she couldn't put it down, and the other female soldiers also warmed up, "There are surprises behind, wait patiently." Li Baoqiang said quietly.

On both sides and behind the school are cliffs more than 40 meters high, under the cliff is a drainage ditch about two meters deep that has been excavated, in front of the school is a gourd-shaped passage, about 12 meters wide, and in front of it is the road to the town, and on both sides are fields.

The whole school is like a gourd with a big belly and a small mouth, with an area of about 10,000 square meters, and the school is in the middle of this small square. If the walls and gates were built at the entrance, it would be a wonderful place to defend it, and there was a well in the school, and if there was enough food to defend it for a year and a half, there would be absolutely no problem. Li Baoqiang was elusive.

Li Baoqiang came to the gourd mouth, and saw Professor Zhao and He Qun coming from a distance, and Li Baoqiang hurriedly stepped forward. After briefly exchanging his thoughts with Professor Zhao, Professor Zhao smiled and said, "The hero sees the same thing, He Qun and I think the same way." ”

"Dig another moat in front of the door." He Qun added. Li Baoqiang's eyes lit up, it makes sense, people have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, as soon as he thought of the terrible rat swarm, Li Baoqiang was worried, the moat, uh, this moat may be able to play a little role.

Busy time always flies. In the evening, Zhang Juncai came back with a large team of men and horses in six cars. Zhang Juncai followed Li Baoqiang's instructions to "not let go of a nail", like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, sweeping the town. The harvest is quite rich, not only a few more cars have been repaired, more than ten barrels of gasoline have been collected, but also the strength of the number of people has been large, and more than a dozen trucks of materials have been transported back one after another, food, clothing, play, and so on.

At the same time, Zhang Juncai also arranged for people to bury many sparkling corpses according to Li Baoqiang's ideas, and there will be a major epidemic after the disaster, which can be regarded as the experience that Li Baoqiang learned from participating in the Wenchuan earthquake rescue.

According to Zhang Juncai's arrangement, people sorted and stacked materials in the classroom. Zhang Juncai quietly pulled Li Baoqiang and said mysteriously and excitedly: "I found a baby again." ”
