“It hurts, it hurts…”
"Hiss—gently, gently."
“I can’t take it anymore…ah…”
Lu Qin's cry for mercy could be heard from the room. If one didn't know better, one would think that she was being tortured.
Qu Dongbo felt somewhat helpless. He walked over and patted her back muscles: "Stand straight. Hold on a little longer. It will be over soon."
Lu Qin gritted her teeth and persisted while muttering, "Can't you be a little gentler?"
"It was you who said you wanted to exercise. It's for your own good." Qu Dongbo said earnestly.
Lu Qin shrugged.
Well, it was indeed her own request. Since she came back last time, she deeply felt that if she did not have a certain ability to protect herself, if such a situation happened again, she would definitely become a hindrance to everyone.
Fortunately, the other party was afraid last time and was not forced or coerced. If it had fallen into the hands of other bad guys, it would not be so easy to deal with.
Qu Dongbo can't protect her all the time.
Lu Qin knew very well that she could no longer be a burden to him or his weakness.
So after recovering from his injuries, he decided to practice some defensive techniques. Since Lu Qin had asked him to do so, Qu Dongbo naturally took it very seriously and started teaching him the basics of defensive techniques.
So the above scene happened.
Fortunately, Lu Qin still had some basic skills. She had learned some dancing when she was young, and her body was quite flexible, so it wasn't too difficult for her to practice again.
Although Qu Dongbo felt distressed, he still used all his strength and was determined to teach her a lesson.
For the past half month, whenever he had free time, he would practice his "defense skills" according to the plan he had made.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off and I gained some results. After only half a month, I have learned it quite well. At least it is much better than before when I was at a loss in facing the enemy.
Of course, Shen Yiting didn't think so. In her eyes, all this was just empty talk.
Only then did Lu Qin realize that the reason why Xiao Shen was so strong was because she was born into a family of martial arts and had been training in martial arts since she was a child, which included some childhood skills.
But later in the prosperous times, martial arts skills were of no use to a girl, so she studied agriculture according to her own interests.
But now it seems that knowing martial arts is still very useful in this environment.
At first, Lu Qin didn't believe that Shen Yiting, with such a baby face, could have such high martial arts skills. Until later, she saw with her own eyes that Xiao Shen was fighting with a soldier under Qu Dongbo. After just one encounter, he captured the man with his backhand.
Lu Qin almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Is there really such a huge gap between people? So I worked harder, planning to learn from Xiao Shen and become a "female warrior."
Shen Yiting didn't think so. He said frankly that since she was training so hard, it would be better to let her protect him. So he proposed to live with Lu Qin and be Lu Qin's personal bodyguard.
Lu Qin knew that this was because she failed to discover that Lu Qin was being held hostage last time, so she felt a little guilty and wanted to ask for compensation.
I heard Zhang Cong said that when Xiao Shen found out she was missing, he cried and searched for her all day, and almost turned Sheshan upside down.
Lu Qin knew that this was a sign of concern for her and did not refuse.
Ever since she came back from Rongcheng to recuperate, Xiao Shen insisted on coming down the mountain to visit her every day, with the beautiful excuse that he couldn't let him be in danger again.
The two of them are of similar age and have similar personalities. They get along well with each other and spend the whole day together.
Shen Yiting also taught her some martial arts, and the two of them played and fought with each other, and were quite close.
Even Qu Dongbo was jealous, saying that Lu Qin and he had never been that close.
In response to this, Lu Qin could only say: You even get jealous of girls?
…
In addition to Lu Qin who has been exercising, Qu Dongbo has also been busy.
After he recovered from his injuries, he launched a nationwide war preparedness campaign in Antu County.
Although Antu County is a small county, due to the stationing of the 756th Unit, it quickly stabilized order and developed peacefully after the end of the world. It is much better than the surrounding unmanaged areas.
But to say that it is against the entire Rongcheng, it is still a little short of it.
Qu Dongbo knew this very well, so he launched the militia recruitment.
He himself led a regiment of the 756th Regiment. Although these were soldiers who had received formal training and had strong combat effectiveness, one regiment alone was definitely not enough to fight against the entire city. You must know that the entire Rongcheng had a population of tens of millions before the disaster. Even if they were outnumbered by human wave tactics, they could be exhausted to death.
So Qu Dongbo recruited and selected some young people of appropriate age to set up a "militia guard" and train with the troops.
Although the recruitment information clearly states that joining the militia means taking on the responsibility of defending Antu County and charging into battle, which involves certain risks, there is still a steady stream of people signing up.
There is nothing else to it, it is just that once the members of the militia pass the selection and become official members, they can receive a subsidy.
The amount of subsidy is approximately one kilogram of rice per day.
Based on this price alone, as long as one person in a family runs for election, the family's food and clothing will not be a problem. If you want to support your family, running for military service is definitely a good choice.
Many young people want to join the militia for the subsidy.
Of course, not everyone can get in. Those who are selected must at least have good physical fitness and not be too biased in character.
In the end, the first batch of candidates selected more than 3,000 people, who became formal militia.
Lu Qin looked at everyone on alert and couldn't help but feel a little worried. She also asked Qu Dongbo if the situation was really irreversible.
Qu Dongbo simply replied: "If it was only Cao Yulei, it would be fine, but Liu He..."
He was quite afraid of his old classmate Liu He.
"Didn't you and him go to the same school? You seemed quite close when you talked to each other, how did it come to this?" Lu Qin asked back.
She had met Liu He, and it was obvious that he and Qu Dongbo were close friends.
"It's a long story." Qu Dongbo sighed. "He's the Liu family's illegitimate son. Ten years ago, we studied together at the military academy under the Ministry of National Defense in Kyoto."
"Because of his status at school, he was often bullied by some of the second-generation officials and military personnel in his circle. I just didn't see it and went to help him twice, so I had some interactions with him."
Qu Dongbo still felt quite emotional when he recalled Liu He.
"Liu He's mother was the mistress of a certain Liu family boss. After giving birth to him, the Liu family disowned him and sent him to the military area. They said it was training him, but in reality, it was just to keep him under surveillance and prevent him from causing any trouble."
"I remember he once told me that he would definitely make a name for himself and trample those people from the Liu family under his feet."
Lu Qin was a little dazed. Although it was just a few brief words, he could still sense that Liu He's life experience was quite difficult.
No wonder they use such bizarre tactics nowadays.
Now he is willing to return to the Liu family and seems to have successfully taken control of the Liu family. It seems that no one knows what will happen.
"But luckily, even if he wants to cause trouble again, we still have Cao Yulei." Qu Dongbo analyzed: "The fact that Cao was so unscrupulous as to kidnap you and threaten me to join them in fighting Liu He shows how dire the situation is between the two of them."
"So, when we escaped danger this time, Liu He was ostensibly helping you, his old classmate, but in fact, he wanted to weaken Cao Yulei's power?" Lu Qin asked.
"Yes. When two tigers fight, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit." Qu Dongbo said coldly: "But no matter who wins or loses, there will be a battle between us and Rongcheng."
Lu Qin squeezed his hand tightly.
She couldn't stop such a big event. All she could do was silently support it from behind.
"Oh right." Qu Dongbo suddenly thought of something, "There's something I think you need to know."
"What's the matter?" Lu Qin asked curiously.
"About your kidnapping."
"It's related to your uncle Lu Fenghua."
