Qilu Province, Haicheng, the entrance of the Navy Dry Rest Institute compound.

The road is full of traffic, the sidewalk passing people come and go in a hurry, there is no significant sign at the entrance of the dry recuperation center, in addition to the simple can not be simpler than the sign is a bright five-star red flag.

Oh, the door is also embedded with a five-pointed star, but some time has been some fading white.

At this time has entered the month of November, the temperature is pushing below zero.

Although the cool breeze, freezing people shivering, but the sentry at the gate is still standing straight there, eyes gleaming, alert to the pedestrian traffic, always ready to deal with all unexpected situations.

The sentry did not dare to relax, because this is not only his own task, but also because of the identity of those old and old people inside the dry rest house, they are all revolutionary heroes who have thrown their heads and blood for the Republic.

Now the heroes have been old, some even some long-term bedridden is already the sunset.

As soldiers of the new era, they have the responsibility and obligation to protect these old-timers.

It was calm and quiet, but the appearance of an ''uninvited guest'' broke the calm.

"Comrade, this is a restricted area, please retreat beyond the yellow line." The sentry stopped the man who was trying to enter the compound.

As a qualified sentry, with just a sweeping glance he could tell that the man did not belong to the dry rest house.

"Hello, comrade sentry. I am a reporter from the closing TV, and here is my ID. I came here today to find an old retired chief and wanted to interview him." The sentry's aura made Li Zhanqiu a bit panicky, so he hastily took out his ID and explained his purpose.

The sentry took the documents and checked them carefully, and did not see any clues, "really closed TV reporter ah, no wonder you look a little strange familiar."

"Haha, you should have seen my show." The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.

"Not really, we have to watch the news broadcast every day in the army, can we not recognize you?" After checking the ID card and work permit is correct, the sentry also considered to open the box.

"Er ...... is it? Then do you know who I am?" Li Zhanqiu's head was full of black lines.

Newswire?

Li Zhanqiu thought to himself that although he is also in the molten TV set, but is not the host of the news broadcast.

"The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of who you are. Aren't you Kang Hui?" The sentry said excitedly.

"The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. Li Zhanqiu has rolled his eyes, his own recognition can not be low to this extent, right?

The size is also considered a wrist ah.

Although not as well-known as Kang Hui, but at least is also host of a large public welfare program host ah! That appearance rate is not a joke, but will be recognized wrong!

"Alas, you guys in the arts are not all named several names. For example, the star named Li Zhuang Shi, the whole stage name surnamed donkey or deer? I really don't understand what you guys are trying to do." The sentry sort of opened up the box and began to discuss the issue.

"I'm not going to talk to you, I don't understand you. You've checked my papers, now you can always let me in, right?" Li Zhanqiu did not want to continue to talk in depth with this tiger sentry, it was simply depressing to death.

"No, you can't go in." The sentry shook his head.

"Why?" Li Zhanqiu asked with no good humor.

The sentry said seriously, "No visitors are allowed to enter without the approval of their superiors, please wait here, I will report to the duty cadre."

It was half an hour before Li Zhanqiu was able to enter the compound of the dry rest house, and a lieutenant colonel officer guided him.

"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, your efficiency is really not complimentary, I waited outside for half an hour to enter your gate." At least from the capital, Li Zhanqiu really could not understand how such an ordinary dry rest house could have such a big doorway.

The sentry informed the lieutenant on duty, who in turn reported to his superiors after learning the information about the person he wanted to interview, and after such a long delay, a lieutenant colonel officer finally came.

"Li reporter, you do not know ah, not that we delay, it is really the old head you want to visit the special situation ah." The lieutenant colonel smiled bitterly.

"Special? The old chief has health problems?" Here Li Zhanqiu's heart tightened, the most worried problem still appeared.

According to the information provided by the helper, the old chief's age must be at least ninety years old, even if the standard of living and medical conditions are good, the body is certainly not good.

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.

The colonel waved his hand and looked at Li Zhanqiu after looking up and down a bit and said: "That's not true, the old head of the body is very strong, the physique is a hundred times stronger than young people. Not to joke with you, the chief like you can single-handedly fight five."

"Really? Can it be that powerful?" Li Zhanqiu naturally does not believe it, although he does not know kung fu, but in order to have a fit body, usually not less soak gym, six abdominal muscles is real, will not even a ninety-year-old old man can not beat?

What an international joke.

"I know you do not believe, wait until we meet you can try. By the way, don't you want to know where the chief special is? I tell you, the chief's temper is not good, very bad, since taking off the uniform after retiring to catch who dislike who, you should be careful." The colonel finished and walked forward with big strides.

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.

The villa looks some years old, brick and wood structure, red building cylinder brick clear water exterior walls, red tile roof, with a light gray water-brushed stone corridor pillars, especially reflect the simple and honest style.

Dingdong--

The lieutenant colonel simply rang the doorbell and a soldier came over to open the door.

"You don't have any dangerous items on you, do you?" Before entering the house, the lieutenant colonel turned around and asked Li Zhanqiu.

"Of course not." Li Zhanqiu shrugged his shoulders.

"It doesn't matter if you brought it, the old chief will clean you up in one move."

Li Zhanqiu: "......"

"Chief, let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Li Zhanqiu, a reporter from the molten TV set, who came over to interview you." Facing the chief, the lieutenant colonel looked very careful and formal, and his words were a bit trembling.

"The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're doing. I have given you the training tasks are completed? Why don't you and I try a few moves?" Wang Liang gave a white look to the lieutenant colonel standing in front of him and said very nonchalantly.

"Chief, not yet, I'm going to train." As soon as he heard about the fight, the lieutenant colonel's legs went weak, put on his military cap and ran outside the house.
