"I don't know where this damn bastard has gone. He made me a laughing stock!" Li Yajuan said angrily as she walked out of the village.
"Miss, not only you are being laughed at, but I am being laughed at too, okay?" Leng Xiaozhi, who was walking with Li Yajuan, said.
"Who told you to speak first? You spoke first. You are a girl and you are looking for a soldier. Won't people laugh at you?" said Liu Wentai, who was walking with the two female students.
The "people" these three students were referring to were Wang Laomao and his friends.
Just now they went to look for Shang Zhen, but Shang Zhen was not there.
Wang Laomao said he didn't know where Shang Zhen went, but he only knew that Shang Zhen went outside the village to find a place to exercise.
"It's so frustrating. If we can't find him, we may never be able to talk to him again." Li Yajuan said again.
What Li Yajuan said certainly makes sense.
No matter what, Wang Laomao and the others have returned to the team.
But since Wang Laomao and his team have returned to the team, it is impossible for Li Yajuan and the other seven students to travel with them.
It was impossible for them to stay in this village called Hejiatun, as they had to continue moving into the interior.
When Liu Guodong saw the seven students who were going to the interior, he said that their company had to go to the battalion headquarters to do some business this afternoon, and they could be taken to the next village by horse carriage. Then the battalion would probably send someone to take them to the next place, where there was already a train, and they could take the train into the interior.
Thus, the relationship between the seven students and the six soldiers including Wang Laomao ended here.
Regardless of whether Li Yajuan had touched the girls' hearts about Shang Zhen, they must always express their gratitude to Shang Zhen for saving their lives.
Shang Zhen saved them twice. The first time, Wang Laomao and Ma Erhuzi protected them as they ran back, and Shang Zhen fired a gun to cover them.
The second time was naturally when they went to steal corn. Although Shang Zhen did not participate in the fight between the students and the owner of the cornfield, Shang Zhen shot and killed two Japanese soldiers again.
This is a life-saving favor. When these students heard that they were leaving in the afternoon, they panicked and definitely came over to express their gratitude.
However, these students never expected that Shang Zhen had gone outside the village to exercise.
If it was someone else, it would be fine, but Li Yajuan kept saying that she wanted to see Shang Zhen again.
The other students naturally understood Li Yajuan's little thoughts.
But no one said anything else, because Shang Zhen was the savior of the seven of them.
Besides, even if Li Yajuan had some feelings for Shang Zhen now, it would be useless. They had also seen the cruelty of war. Once they entered the interior, who knew where Shang Zhen would go to fight with the troops, and they would be separated from each other from then on.
This situation is like a young girl who has just fallen in love and has developed a crush on a male classmate, but in the blink of an eye, the other boy transfers to another school. Sooner or later, this feeling will only become a memory in her heart.
At this time, Li Yajuan and the others came out of the village naturally wanting to find Shang Zhen, but when they stood at the entrance of the village, they were dumbfounded.
At this time, all I could see were layers of mountains in the distance, the trees had turned yellow, and when the wind blew, I could hear the fallen leaves rustling. But where could I see any trace of Shang Zhen?
"Are you still looking for your sweetie?" Leng Xiaozhi chuckled, and Li Yajuan could only pout.
"How about we go forward and shout a few times?" Liu Wentai suggested.
"Forget it. Not only will we attract the wolves, but we will also attract the Japanese soldiers." Leng Xiaozhi disagreed.
"I just don't understand why Yajuan must see Shang Zhen. Don't say it's just because he saved our lives." Liu Wentai asked curiously.
Leng Xiaozhi laughed again.
When Leng Xiaozhi smiled like this, Liu Wentai suddenly understood.
Liu Wentai, Leng Xiaozhi, and Li Yajuan have the best relationship. How close is that? They're like good friends who transcend gender.
"Xiaozhi, why are you--" Liu Wentai paused here. He had to organize his words, so he wanted to say it again, "Why don't you go find Shang Zhen?" He didn't forget to squint his eyes after he finished speaking.
Leng Xiaozhi smiled and replied, "Too skinny is not my thing. I guess they don't have a waist as thick as mine!"
Leng Xiaozhi's words immediately earned Li Yajuan a big roll of the eyes.
"Okay, go back. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again. If we are not destined to meet, you won't be able to see each other even through the woods." Liu Wentai advised.
Li Yajuan then looked at the mountains in the distance and the forest nearby, and finally had no choice but to turn around and walk back.
How could Shang Zhen, who was somewhere at this time, know that those students were looking for him?
At this moment, he was pulling the rifle in his hand with force, but the bayonet of the rifle was inserted into the trunk of a tree.
Shang Zhen just wanted to experience the feeling of bayonet fighting on a whim.
He thrust the bayonet into a tree.
Even though Shang Zhen had no strength left, he still stabbed the bayonet into the tree trunk.
Shang Zhen was feeling smug just now!
He pondered the depth of the bayonet's penetration into the tree trunk. Although it was only an inch, he thought, although the bark of this old tree is not as hard as human bones, it is still harder than a human belly, right?
If I stabbed the Japanese soldier in the stomach like this, it would have to go at least half an inch in. Then when I pulled out the bayonet, wouldn't the blood, shit, urine, and farts all come out?
Shang Zhen thought about it seriously and didn't think it was funny.
Shang Zhen, who had been to the battlefield, had a deeper understanding of the human body. Beauty is only on the skin, as for what's inside, it's better not to mention it, it's disgusting!
However, Shang Zhen also thought that if he could stab the bayonet into the stomach of the Japanese soldier with his own strength, then the Japanese soldier would be stabbing him, and he would be stabbed to death!
Bayonet fighting is a test of speed and strength, so you still need to practice.
Shang Zhen's idea of practicing bayonet fighting was definitely a good one, but as the saying goes, it's easy to get on a boat but hard to get off. It was easy for him to stick the bayonet into the tree, but it was difficult to pull it out!
He had just shaken the rifle twice with force, but he didn't pull it out.
Now he hardened his heart, kicked the tree trunk with his feet, and pulled it back with all his strength.
This time the bayonet needle was pulled out, and he was dodged and fell to the ground with a thud.
Shang Zhen sat on the ground gasping for breath, thinking to himself, how could his aunt bear this?
Shang Zhen has been practicing for a long time. How could he be lazy when he was practicing so hard as if there were enemies threatening him with bayonets from behind?
He was already exhausted, and this time he pulled out the bayonet with all his strength and it even dodged. In the end, he was too tired to move.
Is there any other way to improve my bayonet fighting skills? Shang Zhen pondered again.
Shang Zhen practiced while thinking. When he was hungry, he ate the dry food, pickles and water he brought with him. He didn't even return to the military camp!
It was not until dark that Shang Zhen dragged his tired body back to Hejiatun.
The place where Liu Guodong's company lives now is naturally a residential building, which is of course mixed with the villagers' houses.
When Shang Zhen passed by a house, he caught a glimpse of something hanging on the roof of the house.
Shang Zhen became thoughtful and began to look around.
From the open door of the house came the sound of voices; people were eating.
But Shang Zhen didn't care about this. Seeing that there was no one outside the house, he sneaked to the top of the house, pulled down the hanging thing and stuffed it into the bag he brought with him, then walked towards the kitchen as if nothing had happened.
When Shang Zhen entered the house where the kitchen staff lived, Hou Kanshan's surprised voice came from inside: "Wow, the student's lover is back!"
