Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 26: A Family in the War of Resistance

The original plan was to find a cave and stay there for two days to go through the motions and be done with it, but with Hu Zi's joining in, Ren Zhong's plan no longer worked.

Ren Zhong and Hu Zi set out on the road out of the mountain. Faced with the primitive mountain roads of that era, Ren Zhong felt extremely miserable after walking a few kilometers.

Climbing and descending mountains one after another, after walking more than ten kilometers on the first day, Ren Zhong was completely unable to keep going.

When it was dark, he and Hu Zi found a cave to live in. Ren Zhong endured the time of his return with aches all over his body. After setting his return location in another cave not far from the cave, Ren Zhong returned to the main plane!
After returning this time, Ren Zhong lay on the bed and didn't want to move at all. His muscles were sore all over as if he had been beaten up.

However, thinking that he would have to return to the world of Bright Sword tomorrow to continue his journey, Ren Zhong still struggled to get up and filled the bathtub with hot water. He took a hot bath and felt that his whole body seemed to have recovered a little. Then he ate something and took a nap.

When Ren Zhong woke up again, 12 hours had passed. He had slept for a whole day!
When he got up at night and couldn't do anything else, Ren Zhong turned on his computer, wrote down the route he had taken that day, then opened the navigation map and found today's starting point and destination on the map.

Comparing with the target, Ren Zhong couldn't help but take a breath. He seemed to have no idea about 60 kilometers before, but now he knows clearly that in the mountains, some roads look close, but it may take two or three hours to walk, because these hundreds of meters may be the straight-line distance between two mountains. The actual route is completely different. He may have to climb to the top of the mountain and then climb up again at the foot of another mountain!

In this way, although the destination seems to be only 60 kilometers away, after actually experiencing it, it will take at least three or four days to walk!

I was careless this time and didn't have a concept of the difficulty of mountain walking. But when I thought about how long it had been since I had walked such a long distance, Ren Zhong came to his senses and realized that except for climbing Mount Emei once in his sophomore year, he had never walked such a long distance again.

Relatively speaking, my body is still too weak. I didn't see that Hu Zi, who had been traveling all the way, was not as tired as I am and had to wait for me from time to time. There was a sharp contrast between the two of them.

This problem must be corrected!

Ren Zhong made up his mind that he needed to put physical training on the agenda in the main plane. If he continued like this, and encountered an emergency in the world of Bright Sword and needed to travel quickly, it would be a big joke if his physical fitness could not catch up with Li Yunlong's large army.

Do at least 5 kilometers of training every day!
Ren Zhong didn't expect that after he got cheated, he would be even busier than his previous job as a slave in the street office. The workload and work intensity were so heavy that he was even worse than 007's office animal!
Who is this to reason with!

The world of sword.

After resting for a day in the main plane, Ren Zhong returned to the cave, placed the 30 kilograms of copper ingots he brought in the cave, and then quietly returned to the cave next door.

Although Hu Zi knew that Ren Zhong went out and came back, he didn't care, because in his opinion, Ren Zhong was out only to take a break.

This is a desolate mountain area, and Ren Zhong can't do anything late at night.

The two of them stayed in the cave with their clothes on for the whole night.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky brightened and the east gradually turned pale, Ren Zhong, whose neck could no longer bear the pain, woke up immediately. He stood up and shook his stiff neck, and began to move his numb hands and feet. The noise soon woke Hu Zi up.

"Hu Zi is awake too. I think the cave we chose is pretty good. Hu Zi, can you remember its location? Next time we go out of the mountain, we can use this place as a temporary rest stop." Ren Zhong said to Hu Zi with a smile.

"Of course no problem, Mr. Ren, I can remember everywhere I've been." Hu Zi raised his head proudly and said, "Every time we go out to fight, the regiment commander asks me to lead the way." Looking at Hu Zi, who is a few years younger than himself but has been in the army for 3 years, Ren Zhong suddenly feels awe.

"Hu Zi, you are amazing!" Ren Zhong gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely.

Being praised by Ren Zhong, Hu Zi felt a little embarrassed. "Mr. Ren, you are too polite. You are the benefactor who saved Zhuzi and many seriously injured soldiers in our group. You are really amazing."

Ren Zhong didn't expect that Hu Zi still remembered this incident, and he could feel that Hu Zi was very sincere.

He didn't take the fact that he used amoxicillin to save people too seriously, because he knew that it was not because of his great ability, but because medicine was very powerful in this era. However, for a soldier like Hu Zi, whoever cures the disease has greater skills. Ren Zhong was able to save more than a dozen seriously injured soldiers in their regiment, so he was a miracle doctor!
Therefore, Hu Zi has always been very respectful to Ren Zhong. Even though Li Yunlong sent him out to follow Ren Zhong, the clever Hu Zi knew that this was a form of surveillance, but Hu Zi did not change his attitude towards Ren Zhong.

"It's good that you can remember it. We may have to go out of the mountain often to organize the supply of goods. There won't be many people staying overnight along the way. I think these caves can be used as our temporary residence. We can even put some goods here and come to pick them up regularly. After all, it's not convenient for us to let people outside the mountain go directly to the headquarters." Ren Zhong said to Hu Zi. Now that he had said this, it would be natural for him to bring the goods to these caves within ten miles of Daxia Bay.

Thinking of this, Ren Zhong suddenly felt that letting Hu Zi follow him out of the mountain seemed to be a good thing.

"Mr. Ren, do all overseas Chinese live like you now?" Hu Zi looked at Ren Zhong and said very seriously, "You can all make life-saving medicine, which is very valuable. You must be able to eat enough every day, right?"

When Ren Zhong heard Hu Zi say this, he was suddenly stunned by the question.

There are clearly many longings on Hu Zi's young but weather-beaten face.

"Not all of them. In fact, most people don't live well either." Ren Zhong hesitated for a while before answering. "We Chinese overseas don't actually have much status in the local area. Except for a few wealthy businessmen, the situation of Chinese living at the bottom is not necessarily much better than that of ordinary people in China. They are not only exploited by the colonists, but also bullied by the local natives. After all, China is not a strong country now, and we don't have the confidence to go anywhere."

"Is that so? I thought the lives of overseas Chinese were already very good. They can all wear yang and warm clothes like you, Mr. Ren, and have good medicines that can save their lives." Hu Zi felt a little disappointed and a little relieved after hearing this.

It was difficult for Ren Zhong to empathize with this strange feeling, but he could feel it.

"Well, are there many overseas Chinese supporting us now?" Hu Zi asked.

"A lot, of course a lot!" Ren Zhong said affirmatively, "Caring about the motherland is now the mainstream wish of many overseas Chinese, because everyone knows that only a strong China can make overseas Chinese stand up straight, and slaves of a conquered country will be bullied wherever they go."

Ren Zhong did not say this casually. In Ren Zhong's historical time and space, overseas Chinese contributed enormous energy. Just in terms of military pay alone, according to statistics, overseas Chinese contributed as much as one-third of the total military pay!

At that time, there were about 800 million overseas Chinese in the world, and about 400 million of them donated money to their homeland, accounting for about half of the total number of Chinese!
What a powerful force and cohesion this is! Not to mention the people who returned directly to fight in the war and transported a lot of strategic materials back to their homeland.

"In the war of resistance, we are all one family!" Ren Zhong said with emphasis at the end.
