Rise From Eight Hundred

The one staring at the two Japanese soldiers was a young officer wearing the uniform of a second lieutenant of the Songjiang Security Corps.

Or, from the definition of age in this era, the officer should not be considered young.

A 26-year-old second lieutenant would be considered normal in the future, but in this era, he has made slow progress, especially in the Security Corps, or it might be more appropriate to say that he is an official.

But in fact, the second lieutenant of the Security Corps, whose name is Qin Peng and nicknamed "Crow", can be regarded as a top figure in the first battalion of the Security Corps and even the entire Songjiang Security Corps.

It's not because he can lead the troops and make the fifty men under his command very strong in combat effectiveness, nor is it because he is so capable and has a good shooting skill that makes the whole battalion obey.

But this orphan is really not a good bird. Cheating, deceiving, and deceiving are his routine operations. In addition to having a tiger skin as a cover, he doesn't need to steal or kidnap.

Of course, from an orphan who grew up fishing and catching shrimps by the river in Songjiang City to a street gangster, and then to a security group, and finally an officer, the brain of "Crow" is definitely not ordinary.

The targets of his scourge are neither the rich and powerful nor the poor who can't even afford to eat. He only catches those middle-class and upper-class families who have some surplus money but can't climb up to the big power. He doesn't use open robbery, but relies on his brain and a tiger skin as a cover. Often, the rich who suffer a loss can only swallow their teeth.

If he offends someone he shouldn't offend, he has a village master and a battalion commander who is the same as him. He will pay the compensation and apologize for what he should apologize. He will never be a big idiot who plays tough for a little face and gets himself into trouble. So he has been living a comfortable life in Songjiang City in recent years.

Except that his reputation among the rich people is not very good.

Otherwise, the people in the security camp would not have given him the scientific name of the taboo black crow as a nickname. It was not only a satire on his dislike, but also a metaphor for his black face and black heart.

However! The lieutenant of the security camp accepted this nickname that ordinary people disliked very much. In his words, "Dislike black crows? That's because you don't understand the intelligence of this bird!"

Indeed, Jiangnan has many mountains and dense forests, which is a paradise for various birds, but the only ones who dare to run to human society and compete for food with humans, except for sparrows whose brains are not very bright, are crows, which are considered large birds.

This thing can not only steal fish from the laid fishing nets, but also dare to sneak into the eaves of people's houses and steal the dried meat hung under the eaves to dry.

Although the dried meat is tied with a rope and hung on a hook, the black bird with a hard beak can use its beak as a cone to insert into the rope, and then take the dried meat off the hook. A pound of dried meat, it can fly to the big tree next to it with the rope.

Do you hate it? But you can't do anything to it. If you dare to hit it, as long as you don't kill it, it will be particularly vengeful and dare to bring a bunch of its kind to trouble you, and it will rain bird droppings on you when you go out.

Maybe the ancestors of the Chinese people disliked this kind of bird and said they were unlucky, but in fact they were annoyed by these guys.

‘Crow’ accepted his nickname calmly.

As time went by, the rich families in Songjiang also knew that there was a person named ‘Crow’ in the Songjiang Security Corps, but secretly called him, Zhuang Shisan and the dandy son of a wealthy family the three evils of Songjiang.

Maybe the people of Songjiang would never think that now there are two of the three evils defending Songjiang City.

So, in this life! No one can define what kind of achievements you will eventually make, not even yourself. Only death can make the final judgment on you.

At this time, one of the three evils in Songjiang, the second lieutenant of the security group "Crow", was hiding less than three meters away from the two Japanese corporals and staring at them.

If it weren't for the wooden board blocking him, his angry eyes could even burn the two Japanese infantrymen who were drinking soda in the yard.

"Crow" never thought that he would want to kill people so much, kill Japanese.

It wasn't because one of his infantry platoons lost half of its people after the battle last night and the terrible artillery bombardment this morning.

For "Crow", who has been an orphan since childhood, in order to fill his stomach, let alone trust humans, even if a wild dog looked at him and wagged its tail, he would think that the other party wanted to steal the fish soup in his bowl.

The reason why he targeted the rich families after he gained some power was that when he was young, he was always called "little red man" by these rich and noble men in brocade robes. When he saw them, he could not help but think of his miserable youth.

It can be said that a person like "Crow" is a person who has been at the bottom of society and suffered a lot. So when he has the opportunity, he will do whatever it takes to get wealth to make himself feel safe.

Not only hateful and hateful, but also pathetic and pitiful.

The more he is like this, the more difficult it is for him to gain confidence from himself.

How could such a person risk his life to fight the Japanese army for his so-called brothers?

Since the Battle of Songhu, the war zone headquarters has issued a strict order to the security group to strictly guard Songjiang.

This is a war zone. All regular and irregular people, as long as they are soldiers, must be deployed by the war zone headquarters. Those who dare not obey orders during the war will naturally lose their heads.

But "Crow" has always wanted to escape, but he just hasn't found the opportunity.

For an orphan without a father or mother, he doesn't have as many worries as Commander Zhuang. Songjiang will take possession of whoever he likes. Anyway, he has long since turned the money he gained through so many years of "cheating, cheating, and deception" into She bought five large yellow croakers, and she had them tied to her waist as soon as the war started in Songhu, ready to run away. No matter where she fled, as long as she was with her, she would live a happy life.

However, last night, after Commander Wang accompanied the lieutenant colonel named Tang Dao to give the Songjiang Security Team a lecture, ‘Crow’ no longer thought about leaving.

It wasn't that he didn't want to live, or live a life where she had plenty of food and wine, but that after hearing the news, he felt that living didn't mean much anymore.

Everyone thought that 'Crow' used any means to make money because he was frightened by the hard times since he was a child. No matter how he was cursed by others, those yellow and white things were his favorite.

Actually, it’s not!

Only ‘Crow’ himself knew that he made all this money, even if he would rather bear the name of ‘Crow’, it was actually just for one person.

A person he couldn't reach, but who was willing to give everything for it.

It was a girl he met when he was a boy, with long braids, dark eyes, and a pair of beautiful dimples.

Being good-looking is secondary. The important thing is that the girl once saved his life. It was not that when she came to Songjiang to visit relatives, she saw him in front of the hospital who was dying from the cold due to fishing in the river in the winter. It took a piece of the ocean to save him, and there would be no more "Crow" in this world.

He wanted to repay her.

Every year, he would walk dozens of kilometers and hide at the corner of her house to see her. Sometimes he would wait for several days before she went out. She never knew that there would be such a person. I spent several days just to catch a glimpse of him.

But he is happy! As long as she can see her, does she know what matters?

During the eight long years from a ten-year-old boy to an eighteen-year-old young man, he watched the girl turn into a flowery woman with his own eyes. Even if he watched her put on a red wedding dress and get married that day, he was still very happy.

Although he was drunk and cried all night after that day, he was still happy for her.

Her happiness is what he wants most.

He infiltrated the security group in the hope that one day, when she was in danger, he could pick up a gun to protect her.

'Crow', who has gradually grown into an adult, knows that in this world, force is king.

Until that day, he heard that her husband died of illness and she became a widow. She was sent back to her parents' home and was called a wife.

He was angry. He went over and took out his only five yuan of savings. He wanted to marry her. He was not afraid of her defeat. He could make her smile again. He was not afraid of death.

However, he was ridiculed and told that he was not from the right family. Even if the daughter of a rich family became a widow, it was not something a poor boy like him could afford to marry.

From then on, he worked hard to make money. He was not afraid of being cursed or disliked by others. Even if he lost his head, he had to save enough money to marry her. The five large yellow croakers he saved were the dowry for her family.

With her, he has the whole world.

But the world collapsed.

PS: The character Crow has a shadow of such a person in my old book. The reason why I brought it out again is because I think such a character is real enough. Everyone has both good and evil sides. So, in What about in war? Are all heroes saints? Maybe, not really.

When we are young, there will always be some people who will make you and I work hard! And Fengyue! I hope I can still be the young boy I once was.
