011 Buy a gun for self-defense

Liu Heming can be regarded as a rich man, and after separating from Liu Yi, he carried out a round of big purchases.

In addition to being called a town, Xiangshui Town is really incomplete in terms of daily necessities. Anyway, apart from him, that is, the fourteen families, except for the necessities after birth, it depends on luck if you want to buy anything else.

So Liu Heming made a lot of purchases this time, and also bought some seeds and fertilizers. To reward myself, I also bought three steaks.

It cost more than $400 to fill the carriage of his broken pickup truck.

By the way, he filled up with gasoline here, and the gasoline here was still quite cheap, but it was the town where he bought supplies. Two dollars and eighty cents a gallon, which is cheaper if you get a membership card. If you're in Xiangshui Town, well, just three dollars and fifty cents a gallon, you still like to add or not.

I ran wildly all the way and drove for more than two hours before I rushed back to Xiangshui Town. I'm not in a hurry to get back to my ranch, so I have to go through the formalities here.

"Hi Dexter, it looks like this purchase was a success. However, I suggest you take the car to John's repair shop and check it out, I always find it in a bad condition. The mayor of the town, George, greeted Liu Heming very warmly after seeing it.

"George, thank you for your kindness. But you have to tell John and give me a deal. I still have something to do with you this time, my ranch plans to change its name, and the procedures can be done with you, right?" Liu Heming said with a smile.

"Of course, no problem, I'll just charge you thirty-five dollars for a processing fee. George said with a smile.

Liu Heming didn't know whether the charge was reasonable or not, and he couldn't say anything. Although it was George's turn to be the mayor of the town, and there were very few residents in this town, he was the mayor after all.

I'm alone here, and the people in this town are a little far away from me, but they're also neighbors. If there is anything that needs their help in the future, Liu Heming also carried a dozen beers before leaving George's mayor's office.

"Dexter, what's the name you're going to change?" asked George when he was done.

"Changed to 'Magic Ranch'. After Liu Heming finished speaking, he opened a bottle of beer and handed it to George.

"Thank you Dexter, I'll fill out the form for you soon in a minute. George smiled and took it and took a pair of reading glasses from his drawer and brought it with him.

Liu Heming didn't bother him, and asked him to fill in the original registration information against him, and after the form was filled, he brought his English name, of course, thirty-five dollars could not be less.

"What a good beer, thank you again, Dexter. George said with a smile as he raised the beer in his hand. I don't know if he is really grateful for the beer, or if he is grateful to Liu Heming for coming to him to go through the formalities.

"George, I'm curious, why don't you sell the land here and live in another town?" asked Liu Heming after touching him.

"Those who stay here have some livelihood. In fact, there is a lot of land in the town now, and it is all idle. It depends on whether anyone comes here to invest, and in that case, the rest of us may have a better life. George said with a smile.

"And the people we left behind, although the family's ranch is not very prosperous, can still meet their own living needs. Others, like John, run repair shops and hardware stores. Lewis has his own hostel and fast food restaurant. Anderson opened his own supermarket. ”

"Xiangshui guards the road and has some extra income. We don't have too many ideals, no matter how difficult the life of Xiangshui Town is, it is enough to feed our families. ”

Liu Heming nodded, people say that they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, and they guard the highway here, so they naturally have their own way of living. As George said, as long as you are willing to work hard, your livelihood is still guaranteed.

"By the way, George, I want to apply for a gun license, and I want to buy a gun, do you want to handle it?" Liu Heming asked again.

"I'd love to help you get a gun license, but Anderson is afraid I'm going to lose my temper. Let's go, I'll take you there, he not only sells guns, but also can apply for gun licenses. George said with a smile.

This was a bit unexpected by Liu Heming, he thought that even if there was no sheriff here, such a thing as a gun license would have to be handled by the town mayor, and it would be handed over to someone else.

In fact, Liu Heming's impression of Anderson, who opened a supermarket, was not very good. When I went to buy things from him, he ignored them, and through today's purchases, I also found that the prices on his side were a little high.

Sure enough, after coming back this time, Anderson's face was very ugly. Because through the window, he also saw so much food in the trunk of Liu Heming's car.

"Anderson, don't put on a stinky face. Dexter is already a resident of our town, so you should give him a good price. And this time he is also here to take care of your business, get a gun license, and buy another gun. George patted Anderson on the shoulder.

"You didn't tell me, how do I know? The stuff in his car made me at least twenty dollars less. Anderson complained.

"I really miss the old days, where I had to order twice a week. Now, I can't order too much once a month. ”

"Tell me your driver's license or social security card number, and I'll do the filing, and go to the cabinet over there to choose a gun." The one on the left is the new gun, and the one on the right is the old one. ”

Liu Heming nodded, put his driver's license on the table, and came to the counter where the gun was placed. There are not many types, and the new guns are more expensive, so he can only focus on the old guns.

There weren't a lot of old guns, two shotguns, and then a couple of pistols, but the price was not indicated underneath.

He felt that a pistol was useless against wolves, and that it was better to use a shotgun, which had a larger killing area, and that he didn't need to aim so hard.

"Anderson, let's pick the new shotgun. After returning here, Liu Heming said.

"It's still waiting to be verified. That gun is a Remington 870, very well maintained, and I'll give you two boxes of bullets, and I'll pay $200 for the handling fee. Anderson said as he pulled the gun out from under the counter.

"Dexter, don't look at Anderson as a miser, in fact, he has a good heart, and I can vouch for him this time that he didn't make money. George said with a smile on the side.

"It seems that I should be to blame, the last time I came here, I should have made it clear that I was from Xiangshui Town. Liu Heming also joked.
