I'm telling fortunes in North America. I'm really not a wizard.

Gong and drummer? That can't support 28 families.

As soon as these words came out, Shi Weiguo froze, his eyes full of surprise and complexity.

When the military officer saw this, he immediately realized that there was an unknown story behind it.

[Shi Weiguo, a man who has been entangled in guilt all his life...]

In the 1990s, Shi Weiguo was still a platoon leader of a militia company. At that time, he had nothing to do with the identity of "gong and drum player". After all, gong and drum players were not common in that era.

Once, he was taking the bus home from the city, and he noticed a thief beside him secretly reaching into a woman's pocket.

Without a second thought, he grabbed the thief's wrist.

But who could have thought that the thief would be the first to complain, grab his hand, press it hard against the woman, and shout that Shi Weiguo was a hooligan.

At that time, there were no cameras on buses, so everything had to be judged based on the actual situation on the spot.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, whoever seizes the high ground of public opinion first will take the initiative.

You know, in that era, if the crime of hooliganism was serious, the person would be shot.

Although conviction requires evidence, the two men held different opinions. One accused the other of attempted theft, while the other insisted that the other was a hooligan.

But in the end, no evidence was found. The thief did not use any tools to commit the crime, just his hands, and he had no criminal record.

After a long time of trouble, the police suspected everyone but couldn't believe anyone, so Shi Weiguo managed to escape by luck.

However, he was still removed from his position as platoon leader of the militia company and had to return home to farm.

Who could have expected that, just the second month after he was dismissed from his post, the militia company in their county was urgently transferred to the front line.

During that special era, until 1993, 22 militiamen from Yunnan Province participated in fighting monkeys, and 21.7 militiamen from Guangxi Province also rushed to the front line.

Except for him, all the 28 brothers in the platoon he originally led were killed.

When Shi Weiguo heard the news, he completely collapsed.

He felt that if he had not been withdrawn and if he was still leading the team, those brothers would not have died.

It's all his fault.

Since then, without anyone knowing, he has been silently carrying the burden of 28 families.

Those families all have elderly parents and young children to support, and without the breadwinners, their lives are extremely difficult.

Although there were subsidies, this amount of money was not enough in that era when no one was rich.

Shi Weiguo understood that farming in his hometown could not support these 28 families, so he left his hometown and went to Shenzhen to work.

By chance, he came into contact with the Dafei team that transported pig's trotters and cigarettes from Hong Kong and Macao to Hukou and Zhongnashan, and he joined them.

In fact, Dafei's team does not only transport pig's feet, cigarettes and foreign liquor, but also transports things like the Twin Lions Stepping on the Earth. However, Shi Weiguo never touches those things, he just transports pig's feet honestly.

This was how they did it until the early 2000s, when inspections in eastern Guangdong became increasingly strict, so Dafei's team moved the landing location to Fanggang in Guangxi Province.

Shi Weiguo continued to do this for a few more years. Not because he had saved enough money, but because the children of the 28 families had grown up and the youngest had graduated from college, he decided to stop.

What surprised Chen Yaozu was that Shi Weiguo had not saved any money for his family over the years, and what he usually gave to his family was about the same as that of an ordinary worker.

After he stopped, the gong and drum making business in his hometown was resumed, and Shi Weiguo took up this business for a living.

He could play several musical instruments and sing, and he could also perform a magic trick of uprooting small pine trees. His life was more comfortable than that of most people.

But who could have imagined that his own son would actually sell the family's magical fighting skills to foreigners.

If it weren't for this incident, he would have planned to be a gong and drum player for the rest of his life.

Even if the family's magical fighting skills were as mediocre as they were four or five months ago, he would not care if these things, which were regarded as feudal dregs, were spread overseas.

But three months ago, the magic fighting technique changed, and the people above even came to reprimand the head of the Shi family, saying that the Shi family's inheritance had leaked out.

Only then did he realize that as a father and a son, he had to stand up and shoulder the responsibility of the Shi family to the country for this incident.

So, he came here... I have to say, Shi Weiguo is a loyal man!

No wonder Master Guan thought so highly of him. Three months ago, when his magic fighting technique underwent a transformation, he deliberately let him realize its extraordinaryness.

It’s ridiculous to think about it. Those gang bosses and young and dangerous guys in Hong Kong have worshipped Guan Gong all their lives, but they may never have received any favor from Guan Gong.

And Shi Weiguo used to regard the family's magical fighting skills as feudal dregs!

The military officer noticed the subtle changes in the two people's expressions, and with curiosity piqued, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chen, there seems to be an unusual story behind this, right?"

Shi Weiguo opened his mouth, but swallowed his words back.

He knew in his heart that the Master Chen in front of him most likely knew his secret, and knew it in detail.

But he really didn't want to expose those past events that he couldn't bear to recall in front of the government, as this would only make him feel even more ashamed.

After all, he was often ridiculed at the beginning, saying that if he hadn't been so careless, he might have died on the border and would not have implicated those 28 brothers.

But on second thought, he did not stop Chen Yaozu from speaking out. After all, all his affairs must be in the file, and if others wanted to check, they would know.

Chen Yaozu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi Weiguo is obviously not willing to talk about his past here.

However, maybe you came too hastily, so the information you received was not complete.

If you wait a little longer, or ask for it, you should be able to get Mr. Shi's detailed file.

But I can assure you that Mr. Shi is worthy of his loyalty and righteousness to his country and the world."

When the military officer heard this, he understood.

With Chen Yaozu's guarantee and the files, it shows that Shi Weiguo is not an ordinary person.

Ordinary people or common people only have household registration information. They have never committed any crime or made any outstanding contributions. How can they have files?

With a clear mind, he no longer bothered about this question: "If that's the case, then I won't ask.

However, Mr. Chen said that he could help Mr. Shi get back the magic, what's going on here?"

Hearing this question, Chen Yaozu smiled slightly and said, "When Mr. Shi came in just now, I had a divination in my mind.

The hexagram shows that the person who obtained the Shi family's magical fighting skills was just a secret collaboration between an operations director of the FBI in Los Angeles and an agent of the CIA.

They did not report it because they felt that the credit would be too small if they reported it now, and wanted to wait until the experiment produced results before reporting it, so that they could maximize the credit.

After all, before the research on super soldiers succeeded, no one knew whether it was just a fantasy of some folk superstitious group in the East.

So, they hid the data in a network crack somewhere, and only they knew the location and password.

The hexagram also shows that the two people are now in Los Angeles.

In other words, as long as we find these two people, whether we kill them or force them to delete the information, we can prevent the Shijia Shenda from leaking out."

At this point, Chen Yaozu couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest, the Shi family's magic fighting skills are really excellent in the domestic folk magic lineage.

If these two people hadn't been so greedy and wanted to maximize their credit, and hadn't reported the information directly into the database, I wouldn't have been so confident that I could have stopped this!"

The military officer and Shi Weiguo were surprised and delighted when they heard this: "Really?!"

"Of course!" Chen Yaozu nodded seriously.

After receiving a positive answer, Shi Weiguo picked up the knife without hesitation and handed it to the military officer: "Here you go!"

Then he turned around and said to Chen Yaozu anxiously: "Master Chen, when are we going to kill people? Kill those two people, and I will help you!"

The military officer used both hands to catch the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. Even though he had practiced martial arts and was in good health, the 82-pound sword was still heavy in his hands.

It was nothing like when Shi Weiguo held it.

He returned the knife to Shi Weiguo with both hands and said, "Mr. Chen said that it will take you some time to complete the 100-day foundation building. When you are done, I will help you send the knife back to the country and put it back in the Shi Family Ancestral Hall!"

Then he looked at Chen Yaozu and said firmly: "I want to participate in this operation too!" (End of this chapter)
