Chapter 37

"Yeah, brother-in-law understands. Come, I'll teach you how to use this gun, and teach you how to maintain it when it's not used for a long time!" Wang An said, taking the gun.

While disassembling it, he told his brother-in-law various maintenance precautions, demonstrated it twice, handed the gun to his brother-in-law, and let his brother-in-law operate it in front of him.

It must be said that a brother-in-law who could turn pig-butchering into an art performance was even better at disassembling a gun.

He only watched Wang An demonstrate twice, and he disassembled it even more skillfully than Wang An, and his speed was faster than Wang An's!

Fine, no need to teach this point, he's graduated!

He also demonstrated to his brother-in-law how to load bullets, how to turn the safety on and off, how to pull the bolt, and various precautions when firing and carrying the gun!

And he told his brother-in-law that the bullets must be stored well and not get damp. Before firing, the butt of the gun must be pressed against the shoulder, otherwise, the recoil could injure the shoulder!

Actually, using these guns was much simpler than disassembling them; any normal person could learn it!

It was just that Wang An was really worried about something happening to his father-in-law's only seedling, so he nagged on and on!

Until he watched Seeing Mu Xueli load the bullets into the chamber and turn on the safety, Wang An stopped nagging!

When Seeing Mu Xueli left, Wang An wanted to drive the sled to send him off, but Seeing Mu Xueli firmly refused and patted the gun on his shoulder, saying: "With this thing here, I'm afraid of nothing!"

Wang An's tightly stretched face finally had a smile.

And he said to his brother-in-law: "Bullets, brother-in-law can only give you these. Buy them yourself when you run out. There are 180 rounds in total. Practice marksmanship seriously, don't waste bullets; this thing isn't cheap, you handle it yourself!"

Wang An didn't know how much bullets cost now; they should be about one or two dimes. In his past life in the 90s, when he was messing with this stuff, it was about 1.5 yuan, but that was the black market!

Seeing Mu Xueli was shocked upon hearing this: "Can't this thing be made by yourself? I see the ones in our village are all made by themselves!"

Wang An laughed and said: "Forget it, those are lead bullets for hanging-tube guns, and the casings are reused! These are copper, can they be the same? Can the ones made by yourself be used? Besides, normally going into the mountains to hunt large livestock only takes two or three rounds, it just depends on how long you can use them!"

Seeing Mu Xueli nodded heavily!

Wang An saw his brother-in-law seemed to be under great pressure and comforted him: "As long as you can hit a hare's head with one shot, you've made a huge profit! If you can hit a 'flying dragon's' head, that's even more awesome!"

Seeing Mu Xueli stared blankly at Wang An and asked: "Brother-in-law, the biggest 'flying dragon' is less than a jin, and the head looks as big as a little finger's nail from a distance, and you still have to hit the head?"

Wang An nodded cockily and bragged: "That depends on you, anyway, brother-in-law can hit it!"

Seeing Mu Xueli looked at Wang An and didn't speak, as if saying, why are you such a braggart!

Wang An ignored his brother-in-law's disbelieving eyes and briefly mentioned the prices of various wild animals at the market.

He didn't dare to mention the price of fur at the supply and marketing cooperative! He was afraid that his brother-in-law would be impulsive and drill into the mountains himself!

After sending his brother-in-law away, Wang An returned to the room and lay on the kang, pondering about going to his uncle-in-law's house to learn hunting tomorrow!

At dusk, Wang Dazhu drove the sled back.

The family went out to meet them; the meat was indeed sold out! And things were bought back!

Wang An hurriedly asked his father: "Dad, was everything okay on the way?"

Wang Dazhu replied: "Nothing happened on the road, just a few little thugs at the market causing trouble, but they didn't provoke me, and later they were caught by the militia!"

Wang An felt relieved and said: "That's good, these idlers just think about causing trouble!"

Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan looked over upon hearing this, as if saying, don't you know what you were like before!

Wang An saw his parents' disdainful eyes and seemed to know what they meant, so he shut his mouth dejectedly.

Mu Xueqing saw this scene; she knew Wang An's past and lowered her head to giggle!

After dinner, the family rested early!

Wang An found that he was becoming more and more obsessed with Mu Xueqing's body! He was simply possessed!

If he didn't vent his primordial power a few times every night and enjoy that pleasure, it seemed the world had lost its color!

This thing is seriously addictive!

······

The sky was still dark, and Wang An had already finished breakfast.

He checked his equipment and brought the small iron pot he had specifically asked his father to help buy at the blacksmith's shop.

After saying goodbye to his family, he drove the sled and headed straight for Linjia Village.

The distance to Linjia Village was basically the same as to Sujia Village, where his father-in-law lived.

However, Linjia Village was relatively large, with nearly 200 households. It was considered the largest village in the vicinity.

With a large village, there were many people, and similarly, there were many hunters. There were three genuine marksmen who were still roaming the mountains, far from what Caojia Village could compare to.

Arriving at his uncle-in-law's house, his uncle-in-law had also finished breakfast and was organizing traps, clamps, and other hunting gear. Mountain-roaming hunters get up very early because the mountain roads are far, and traveling requires a considerable amount of time.

Feng Chengmin's family raised four hunting dogs. Wang An didn't hear a sound from the dogs before entering the courtyard, but as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, they started barking. Feng Chengmin shouted once, and they stopped barking immediately!

Hunting dogs seem to be like this, very obedient to their masters and never annoying!

"Uncle-in-law, you're up quite early!" Wang An greeted him, making conversation.

"Yeah, I thought you wouldn't want to get off the kang because you're in love with your wife, and would come later!" Feng Chengmin joked with a smile.

"That's impossible. In my heart, Uncle-in-law is still the most important; my wife is secondary." Wang An answered with a grin.

"Hahahaha, you kid, you just have a good mouth. What's up? Is that how you coaxed your wife back too?" Feng Chengmin continued to joke while organizing the hunting gear.

"That's not it. Your nephew here is a famous handsome young man in these ten miles and eight villages. My wife didn't just pounce on me, I had to pick and choose." Wang An turned on his bragging mode.

"Is that so? That's seriously awesome! It's just that a few days ago, your dad asked me to find a matchmaker for you. You say, as soon as I mentioned you, those matchmakers gave me the cold shoulder directly. What's going on with that?" Feng Chengmin pretended to be puzzled and asked.

Wang An shut his mouth directly and also put away his big mouth that was about to reach his ears.

This person doesn't know how to chat, just poking at people's lungs, really!

Looking at Wang An's deflated expression, Feng Chengmin became happy and laughed loudly!

"Let's go, let's go into the mountains." Feng Chengmin said.

"Uncle-in-law, let's just drive one sled, right?" Wang An asked.

Feng Chengmin looked and said: "Fine, you unload the sled, tie the horse in the shed! Lead my horse out!"

Wang An understood his uncle-in-law's meaning: use his horse and let his own horse rest!

He hurriedly said: "Why unload it, it's troublesome, can't we just drive it and go?"

Feng Chengmin looked at the big stallion and frowned, asking: "This horse hasn't been gelded, is it obedient? Does it kick?"

Wang An said: "It's obedient, and it seriously has a lot of energy!" Then he told him about its performance when pulling the leopard carcass that day.

After listening, Feng Chengmin looked at the big stallion in surprise, examined it in circles for a long time, but couldn't see why this horse was so 'spirited' (powerful)!

He nodded and said: "That's fine, just drive your sled, let's go!"

The two loaded the hunting gear, Feng Chengmin drove the sled, and they plunged into the mountains all the way!

Reaching the boundary of the deep mountains, Feng Chengmin called to stop the sled and tied the big stallion to a big tree!

Starting from entering the mountains from the village, about ten li is the boundary. Within about ten li, the villagers call it the mountain periphery or village surroundings.

Beyond about ten li, the villagers collectively call it the deep mountains. The mountain animals and prey become more numerous, and the danger also becomes greater!

Wang An didn't ask, because the rules of entering the mountains are: listen to the mountain-roaming leader in everything!
