Chapter 95 Tiecheng buys a gun, a brand new 56 and a half
Yue Feng shouted twice at the door, and footsteps came from the north door.
“Who is it?”
“Auntie, it’s me, Yue Feng!”
Soon Zhang Cuilian opened the door.
"Hey, Xiaofeng is here! Come in, have you eaten?" Zhang Cuilian hurriedly moved Yue Feng into the room.
"I just came here after eating! These are the jumping cats and pheasants I caught. You made them later for my uncle and Mingyu to eat!" Yue Feng handed the things he was carrying to Zhang Cuilian.
"Look at you, you are so shameless. Every time you come back to my house, you have to carry things. You are not allowed to carry them next time!"
"Hey, okay!" Yue Feng followed. house.
Wang Jianguo was also having dinner at this moment. On the table was a pot of stewed pork belly with eggplant and potatoes, plus a fried peanut. The food standard was not low.
"Xiao Feng is here, would you like to have a drink with me?" Wang Jianguo greeted with a smile.
"It's terrible, I don't drink enough. I can't get up in the morning after drinking liquor. I have to get up early to go up the mountain to watch the eagle tomorrow!" Yue Feng waved his hands repeatedly.
"Then wait for me for a while, and I'll finish the drink!"
"Okay!"
Soon, Wang Jianguo took a sip and poured some wine into the cup. After finishing half a glass of liquor, he took Yue Feng to the back room.
"Are you going to buy a gun? What's your goal?" Wang Jianguo asked knowingly.
"Yeah! I just heard the weather forecast and said that it seems to be snowing here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow! I made a plan with my dad and waited for the snow to freeze for a few days before we go up the mountain to make a siege. It’s time!
If you don’t have a hard one, it’s not easy to deal with big mountain animals! My dad said that if you want to buy it, just buy a new five-six-and-a-half piece! .
“Okay, I will give you a letter of introduction! Last time you asked me to help you get a list of names, and I have already submitted it! By the way, I also got you a militia qualification!”
"Thank you, uncle!" Yue Feng thanked him repeatedly after hearing this.
The hunter's qualification is easy to obtain, but the militia qualification comes with additional work point rewards every year, which is in short supply.
The militia of this era is not the militia of two thousand years later. Militia training such as target shooting is organized regularly every year. In the armory of the Township Security Department, there are real ones, and even squads use machine guns and mortars. All kinds of big killers are available in warehouses.
"How are your dad's legs doing?"
Yue Feng shook his head: "It was so tough a year ago that I could use it easily, so don't even think about going up the mountain in winter. I'll work it out with my dad. I plan to let Uncle Li take me and Xiaotao up the mountain!”
“If Li Wentong takes you up the mountain, there will be no problem! This is the letter of introduction, please keep it!”
After chatting briefly for a while, Wang Jianguo took out a piece of red letterhead paper, carefully wrote a letter of introduction, stamped it with the stamp of the village department, and handed it to Yue Feng.
"Thank you, uncle!" Yue Feng treasured the letter of introduction.
Wang Jianguo said again: "By the way, I still have some 7.62 bullets here. If I don't have enough, come home and I will get them for you!"
"Well, I will use them. Come and get it. I'll go back first. When I go up the mountain to kill the wild boar, I will definitely give you and my aunt the wild boar legs!"
"Okay, I'm waiting to eat your wild boar legs!"
Wang Jianguo put on his coat and walked Yue Feng to the gate, then strolled into the house with a cigarette in his mouth.
After finishing dinner and picking up the table, Wang Jianguo and his wife went into the east room on the Kang.
"The second son of the Yue family, do you want to buy a gun?" Zhang Cuilian asked.
Wang Jianguo nodded: "Yeah! 56 and a half!"
"I remember you told me before that a brand new 56 and a half costs more than a thousand yuan! Xiaofeng recently Zhang Luo people are making a lot of money by flying eagles!" Zhang Cuilian was quite surprised when she heard that Yue Feng wanted to buy five or six half.
"Lian, have you thought about what I discussed with you last time?" Wang Jianguo asked confusedly.
Zhang Cuilian said: "The two boys from the Yue family are indeed good. They are benevolent, sensible, knowledgeable, and capable. In just a short time, they have earned enough money to buy a gun.
But we Xiaona is still young, why don't we just wait and see?
As the old saying goes, if a family has a lot of girls to ask for, it's impossible to catch up based on our family's conditions and your prestige in the village. It seems that our daughter is so worthless!”
What Zhang Cuilian said is indeed true. Her daughter is good-looking, tall and handsome, and she is still a high school student. In addition, Wang Jianguo is in the village. With such prestige, my daughter has no worries about getting married.
"Okay, then it's up to you, wait and see!
But I want to remind you, if you want to be a general's wife, you must first marry a soldier! The second son of the Yue family has now begun to show off his talents. , if someone else gets there first, then all I can do is slap my thigh!" Wang Jianguo took a puff of cigarette and said in a calm tone.
Zhang Cuilian was slightly stunned after hearing her husband's remarks about the general's wife, but still couldn't make up her mind: "It's not too late in the next few days. It won't be too late to wait until Xiaona's twentieth birthday!"
......
There was nothing to say all night, and at dawn the next day, Yue Feng got up early.
Opening the main door of the north house, the yard is covered in silver.
On the eagle bars under the eaves, five eagles squatted there. Except for the place where the eagles landed, there was no snow, and the other places were all covered with white snow.
The weather forecast was indeed accurate. It was snowing. It snowed more than ten centimeters thick in one night.
"Dad, it's snowing!" Yue Feng shouted at the top of his lungs.
Soon, both his parents put on their clothes and got up. Yue Lei stood at the door for a while on crutches, and then said: "It's snowing a lot. After dinner, let's clear the walkway first." Sweep it out!”
"Yeah! I'll go find my Uncle Li later and ask him to go to Tiecheng with me to buy a gun!"
"Okay! It just snowed and it's not too slippery. Wait until the road freezes solidly. , it’s not easy to walk on a bicycle!”
After Yue Feng and his father agreed, he took a broom to sweep out the snow in the yard. After a while, the Zhang family The brothers and the Li family's father and son also came to Yue Feng's house.
"Xiaofeng, it's just snowed. Can we still go up the mountain to fly eagles today?" Li Wentong asked, somewhat unsure.
Yue Feng grinned: "Of course it can, not only it can, but it's also a good time!"
"What the hell? It's hard to walk when it snows. Pheasants, flying dragons and the like are all looking for places to hang out. How come it's a good time to fly eagles!"
Yue Feng explained: "It's snowing. It's hard to walk. There are traces, and it is more efficient to track them. It is difficult to catch these little pheasants when it snows, and their physical strength will be relatively weak! >
Not to mention there are eagles. Even if there are no eagles, when it snows in the mountains in previous years, we will catch a lot of chickens and flying dragons.”
When Yue Feng said this, everyone also wanted to catch them! Now that I've realized it, it's true. After it snows, it's indeed much easier to go up the mountain to catch flying dragons and sand pheasants than usual. It's just that we don't have the experience of flying eagles in snow, so we didn't expect this. "By the way, Uncle Li, you can't go up the mountain to let the eagle fly today! I have already opened a letter of introduction. You have to accompany me to Tiecheng today and let's buy the gun back!" Yue Feng continued.
"Going to Tiecheng to buy a gun? Your dad agreed?"
Li Wentong's eyes lit up when he heard the word gun. He had always wanted to buy a gun for himself, but because it was too expensive, he saved a lot of it. Years of money have never been able to afford it.
“Well, just buy a new 56 and a half and get it right in one step!”
Li Wentong: “The relationship is good. If you have a 56 and a half, you can not only take care of the roe deer and follow it. Even if you encounter a wild boar or a blind bear, you can drag it home! If you don’t have enough money, let’s take it as a stock!”
“That’s enough! I've been making a lot of money for a while, I've saved it all!" Yue Feng said confidently, patting his trouser pocket.
"Okay, let's set off after breakfast! It's not close to Tiecheng and back! Fortunately, there are bicycles!"
...
After having breakfast, Xiao Tao and the Zhang brothers People continued to go up the mountain to fly eagles, while Yue Feng and Li Wentong went to the city to buy guns.
The three eagles that went out today have also been adjusted. Yue Feng's iron-backed red one was given to Xiao Tao to catch rabbits around the vegetable garden today. The chicken eagle was given to Xiaowen, and Xiaowu used the one Big green kite.
Three eagles can represent the current highest level of combat capability of the Yue family's falconry team. With the heavy snow just falling, the harvest of these three eagles will definitely surprise a few people.
In this way, Yue Feng and Li Wentong rode a bicycle out of the village and rushed towards Tiecheng.
Tiecheng is larger than Fengcheng. Although the two cities are at the same level, the infrastructure and coal mining and other industries there are more developed, and the city's population and economic level are also much higher.
The two of them rode a bicycle into the city. Because it had just snowed, it took a lot of time on the road. By the time they arrived at Tiecheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative, it was already almost nine o'clock in the morning.
It is also snowing here in Tiecheng, but it is slightly smaller than here in my hometown. There are not many pedestrians on the road. Inside the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative, two salesmen are sitting inside eating melon seeds.
"Hello comrade, I want to buy a 56 semi-automatic rifle. This is a letter of introduction!" Yue Feng placed the letter of introduction issued by the village department on the counter.
"Buy a gun?" The salesperson was slightly startled when he heard this request. The 56 and a half is a big item among big items. A gun costs one thousand, two hundred and fifty-seven yuan. Normally, he only sells one or two guns a year. go. Unexpectedly, someone came to buy a gun on a snowy day.
Yue Feng nodded: "It should be clearly stated in the letter of introduction! By the way, how much does a new gun cost now?"
"A brand new Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, with one hundred rounds of ammunition. One thousand two hundred and fifty-seven yuan!" The salesperson flipped through a few pages of records and said according to the selling price above.
"Okay, please give me some!" After hearing this, Yue Feng began to take money out of his cotton-padded jacket.
They were all ten-dollar bills. After taking out a whole stack, he took a dozen or so bills from another stack. After counting, he put the money on the counter.
They had a letter of introduction and cash. The salesperson immediately took the money and counted it.
Confirming that it was correct, he turned to the warehouse behind him and took out a new gun wrapped in a rectangular canvas holster.
“This is brand new, you can open it and check it out! Note that the new gun has gun oil seals inside and outside. If it needs to be fired, the excess grease should be wiped off before test firing.
In addition, the new gun must be calibrated at fixed points before it is officially used, and it must be wiped and maintained regularly after use!” the salesperson reminded very carefully.
Yue Feng nodded, took the gun and handed it directly into Li Wentong's hands.
Li Wentong is a veteran. When he was hunting monkeys in the south, he used a 56 and a half. After receiving the new gun, he very familiarly took apart the holster and inspected the new gun that smelled of gun oil on the spot.
Yue Feng didn't understand what was going on, so he saw Li Wentong dismantling a new gun into parts with a few small clicks like he was playing with a toy, and then asked the salesperson for one. Order toilet paper and start wiping the grease off the outside of the new gun in public.
After wiping the sealed grease inside and outside, Li Wentong checked around the trigger, barrel, receiver and other structural parts. After confirming that there were no problems, he quickly assembled the gun.
"No problem, this is a new gun that has not been fired yet!" Li Wentong said with certainty.
Yue Feng nodded: "Then please give me an invoice!"
The invoice was issued, the change was given, and the hundred rounds of ammunition that came with the gun were also put in a brown paper box and handed to Yue Feng.
Yue Feng packed all the change and bullets, and then walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative side by side with Li Wentong.
After getting the real thing, Yue Feng felt that his heart rate had soared to at least 120.
This is 56 and a half. In my previous life, I had been living on Yue Feng Mountain for more than ten or twenty years without getting such a gun. Now, it really appeared on my shoulder.
"Uncle! Let's find a place to shoot a few shots and enjoy ourselves?" Yue Feng said somewhat anxiously.
"We'll talk about it later when we get back. Go to the river! This gun is not an ordinary thing. I want to remind you carefully before using it!"
"Say!"
"The gun is not an ordinary thing. Yes, no matter how good your relationship is with someone who doesn’t support you, you can’t lend it out!
Secondly, no matter whether there are bullets in the gun or not, the muzzle of the gun cannot be pointed at anyone. Unless necessary, the safety must be turned off at all times! Fire!
The third point is to shoot when you are on the mountain. If there is any movement in the bushes, just use the gun. If you hurt someone, it will be ruined! >
"
"Yeah, yeah, I remember everything you said! "Yue Feng nodded repeatedly, very seriously.
Every one of these rules was learned through bloody lessons. Yue Feng also played No. 16 pipe hanging for half of his life. What happened to the mountain hunters around him? He had heard a lot about the past. Even if Li Wentong didn't mention this, Yue Feng was still very respectful of the rules for using guns.
Li Wentong saw that Yue Feng was very steady and continued: "Your father is doing this this year. Since we can't go up the mountain in winter, there's a good chance I'll take you, Xiaotao and the others up the mountain for a walk.
With a gun comes ambition. I can understand your desire to prove yourself with a gun, but before you get my approval, you can't take a gun into the mountains without permission! ”
"Yeah!" Yue Feng nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, some people may be upset. I paid for the money and issued the letter of introduction. But in the end, I bought the gun back. Without Uncle Li’s permission, I can’t bring the gun into the mountains. This is too frustrating. Already?
It is indeed a bit frustrating, but this is the reality!
Yue Feng can't say that he knows everything a person should know in two generations. In front of his father and Uncle Li, he is just a twenty-year-old man with no hunting experience. If he buys a gun and can do whatever he wants, then That's really nonsense.
However, Yue Feng also has a way to deal with it. He is not allowed to bring guns into the mountains without permission. It is just because the adults feel that they have insufficient hunting experience and lack of experience in using guns.
As long as you perform well once or twice up the mountain and get recognition, that's all.
"Okay! Let's go back first and go to the woods by the river to try the gun! I have been very accurate with slingshots since I was a child. I think shooting a gun should not be difficult!" Yue Feng prepared the ground in advance.
“Let’s go!”
……
The two of us rode very fast along the way. It took nearly two hours to get here and only one and a half to get back.
When the car reached the end of the village, the two of them did not enter the village immediately. Instead, they got off the car and pushed it into a small road in the field. After going around a few times, they came to an open space by the river.
