Chapter 20: Chapter 20 I would rather be the head of a chicken
"I won!" Ji Ying cheered and raised his chin to the others, which meant: What? As I said, Brother Heifu is very powerful!
"The winner was decided so quickly?" The other seven people in the room looked at each other, they hadn't reacted yet...
"What's going on..."
Dongmen Bao was also incredulous. He used to play arm wrestling with his peers in the county on the streets and under trees, and he always used his right hand. This was the first time he played with his left hand, so he was not very familiar with the force and movements. But Heifu was as skilled as if he had practiced thousands of times, and his strength was far beyond Dongmen Bao's imagination.
"I don't accept it!"
He held it in for a long time, and suddenly shouted, staring at Heifu with his eyes and said: "Come again!"
"You are more open and honest than what you said before, but you cheated after losing. What kind of man are you!" Ji Ying was not happy, and immediately made a sarcastic remark, making Dongmen Bao blush.
"Ji Ying." Hei Fu waved his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if we do it again. In this case, let's play two out of three games, how about that?"
"Okay!" Dongmen Bao gritted his teeth. He felt that he was careless just now and underestimated Hei Fu. This time, he would be more careful.
The two of them took up their positions again, with their arms crossed. This time, Dongmen Bao didn't dare to make sarcastic remarks, but pursed his lips and stared at Hei Fu's posture.
For the sake of fairness, this time, they let Ji Ying start.
"Fight!"
After Ji Ying's voice sounded, Dongmen Bao immediately used all his strength. This time, he was not knocked down by Hei Fu's explosive power, but was held at the midpoint.
However, the two men's palms touched tightly, their arm muscles exerted force, they raised their heads, looked at each other, and saw the tenacity in each other's eyes...
"This Dongmen Bao, even with his left hand, has a lot of brute force." Hei Fu knew that he had met his match, but it didn't matter. Arm wrestling relies not only on strength, but also on skills.
He played this game with his classmates in the police academy in his previous life, so he knew that when arm wrestling, the most favorable state for you to exert force is when you can see the five fingers from the front, instead of the fist facing yourself. In addition, according to the principle of leverage, the closer the opponent's arm is to you, the more conducive it is for you to exert force.
So when the two were already in a stalemate, Hei Fu began to slightly adjust his posture and tried to pull Dongmen Bao's hand towards him, and then suddenly pressed it down!
"Here it comes again!" Dongmen Bao was forced to close his eyes, his teeth clenched, veins on his neck and forehead bulged, and the three round birthmarks on his face became even redder. He concentrated all his strength on his left hand, but still couldn't stop it from being deflected little by little, and finally was pressed down on the earth platform...
In the second arm wrestling, Hei Fu won again.
"I lost, you are better, this thing is yours."
This time, Dongmen Bao did not shout "Come again" again, and stood up a little dejected.
Seeing that Dongmen Bao, who had been arrogant all day, actually admitted defeat, everyone in the room was surprised and couldn't believe it. At the same time, they looked at Hei Fu with more admiration and more fear.
After a competition, there was no dispute in the room about who was the leader.
After winning, Hei Fu did not get complacent, but said to Dongmen Bao, who was sulking on the spot: "Brother Bao, you didn't lose."
"What do you mean?" Dongmen Bao turned around immediately after hearing this.
Hei Fu raised his left hand and said, "I didn't have time to say it just now. Actually, I am left-handed."
"Hei Fu, you won, so why tell me!" Ji Ying was very anxious. Seeing the arrogant Dongmen Bao being defeated, he was so happy. Unexpectedly, Hei Fu told the whole truth. He was shocked...
Hei Fu didn't think so. He deliberately said, "In this arm wrestling, I actually took advantage. It was unfair to Dongmen Bao. How could I hide it?"
After that, he bowed to Dongmen Bao, who was a little ashamed and angry, and said, "That's the way it is. Today's contest doesn't count!"
Dongmen Bao's face was uncertain for a long time. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he slowly calmed down and sighed, "Left hand against left hand. You didn't plot against me in the two decisive battles. Instead, you won openly. How can it be unfair? Besides, you can tell the truth without hiding it. It can be seen that you didn't deliberately deceive me..."
He bowed and said, "I lost, so I lost. There's nothing to say. You can do this job. I won't argue with you anymore!"
The reason why Hei Fu told the truth was that they would be together day and night for the next month, and his secrets would definitely not be hidden. Second, he was also betting on Dongmen Bao's temperament. As expected, this reckless man had his own pride.
He laughed out loud: "He is really a straightforward person!"
Hei Fu walked up to Dongmen Bao very familiarly, patted Dongmen Bao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Bao, in my opinion, you and I are really evenly matched in terms of strength and martial arts!"
"Evenly matched?"
Dongmen Bao muttered these two sentences, and his anger completely disappeared. Instead, he was a little happy.
Hei Fu had just become famous in the county. The young people were discussing his deeds and regarded him as a warrior. Although Dongmen Bao was also a local leader, he was only famous in their Dongmen. Who would know him outside of that one acre and three points of land?
At this moment, the warrior Heifu, who was praised by the people of the county, said that the two of them were "equally matched", how could he not be happy?
You should know that Dongmen Bao had been competing with Heifu just now, and he wanted to win fame by defeating Heifu. The young people in their neighborhood valued this the most. Sometimes, for the sake of fame, there were many who would stab themselves with knives. Now, although he was defeated in the end, he was still very happy to receive the praise of the other party.
Heifu struck while the iron was hot and said: "I have also heard of a saying, which is that you can't know each other without fighting. How about you and I make friends by arm wrestling today?"
After being praised for a while, Dongmen Bao nodded confusedly: "Okay! You can't know each other without fighting!" He also bowed to Heifu.
Since we are friends, everything will be easy to talk about.
"There is one more thing."
Hei Fu said to him again: "I wonder if you are willing to take on the role of the sergeant of this squad?"
Seeing Dongmen Bao's hesitation, probably because he didn't want to be inferior to others, Hei Fu persuaded him: "In fact, the sergeant and the sergeant are just small officials, and they are not formally established. They are just temporary guards. There is no difference in rank."
As he said that, Hei Fu winked at Ji Ying.
Although Ji Ying didn't like Dongmen Bao, he listened to Hei Fu's words very much. Knowing that he must have his own considerations, he took the lead in making a noise: "Yes, the eight of us are all soldiers, how can we be qualified to be sergeants? In my opinion, Hei Fu and Bao are the people with the highest titles and martial arts in this squad. They are the most suitable as military officials! Don't you think so?"
"That's right." The others also echoed.
Dongmen Bao was in a dilemma now. After a while, he reluctantly said, "In that case, I will be the sergeant for one month..."
"It's a deal! You and I will work together!"
Hei Fu smiled and high-fived him as an agreement, secretly thinking that his strategy really worked.
He had thought about it long ago. It would not be easy to survive this month. Hei Fu had to be careful of the revenge of Bin Baijiang externally, and he wanted to control everything internally, so he wanted to fight for the position of sergeant. As the saying goes, it is better to be the mouth of a chicken than the tail of an ox. Hei Fu's current position is out of reach for the "ox", but now the "chicken mouth" is something he is determined to get!
Dongmen Bao is a very interesting person. Although he is arrogant, he is a typical straightforward man of this era in terms of his way of dealing with people. As long as you treat him with sincerity and make friends with him, it is not difficult to subdue him.
The two of them were "sympathetic to each other", and Chao Bo, who had been watching by the wall, was relieved. It was good that they didn't fight, and he didn't have to go out in the rain to complain.
But seeing that the two had divided up the positions of squad leader and platoon leader, Chao Bo, as an old veteran who had served many times, couldn't help but remind them: "You two, the positions of squad leader and platoon leader of the night guards are not decided by us."
Dongmen Bao was immediately unhappy. He swept his eyes over fiercely and cursed: "You old man, you are still a platoon leader at such an old age, how can you have a say here?"
"I..." Chao Bo was retorted and his face turned red.
Heifu walked towards him directly, frightening Chaobo. Unexpectedly, Heifu bowed and said:
"Thank you for your reminder, senior. This is Heifu's first time in the military service, and I am not very clear about many things. In the next month, I will ask you more questions. You said before that you will take good care of me, a fellow villager."
Heifu would talk to people in a way that suited their preferences. He would subdue the chivalrous and reckless men like Dongmen Bao with force and treat them with sincerity. For older people like Chaobo, he would act like a junior, put on a tone of asking for advice, and chat with them, asking questions.
Chaobo was immediately very happy, and he told Heifu all the rules of being a night watchman.
It turned out that although the sergeant and squad leader were only small military officers and temporary, they must be held by people with titles. There are only two officers in their squad, Dongmen Bao and Hei Fu. The squad leader and corporal leader must be selected from the two of them, but they have to wait for the consent of the two generals tomorrow...
"Who is responsible for the training of the guards, General Bin or General Chen?" Hei Fu asked.
"It is General Chen. General Bin is in charge of the county soldiers." Chao Bo replied.
"That's no problem." Hei Fu was relieved. This way, the matter is settled.
Then, he asked what the guards should do.
"In the first half of the month, we will have military exercises, and in the second half of the month, we will go to repair the city, build bridges and roads..."
"What specific training will be done during the military exercises?"
Hei Fu didn't understand things like building bridges and roads. What he cared about was what the reservists of this era were trained for? If it was shooting arrows with a bow or riding a horse, I'm sorry, he really didn't know how to do it.
He smiled at Bo, revealing his yellow teeth, and said, "Nothing else, it's mainly the military formation."
"Military formation? That's it?" Hei Fu blinked and almost laughed out loud.
Just a joke, people who graduated from the Armed Police Academy will dream of marching in step!
In his previous life, he practiced these things for three whole years!
