There was silence on the pitch, but I was bent and there was no surprise. How could Master Shang, who had always been so free and easy that no one could control him, have the patience to accompany others to play such a boring game of increasing the price little by little?

Getting what he wants concisely and straightforwardly is his style.

At this point, Shang Xun is like this, and so is Si Tianzhe.

They differ from Zosi in that they tend to be accustomed to torturing their opponents little by little. mentality, sometimes even deliberately give the other party a breather, and then give a fierce blow, enjoying the process of the other party's dying struggle but finally escaping the lack of skills, and only when he is tired of playing, will he kindly announce the final judgment.

Si Tianzhe is different, they are not interested in wasting time on inconsequential people, they often like to kill with one move, concise and beautiful, without procrastination.

"So...... Okay, 10 million. Nicholas grimaced his face and said, "Now Mr. Stewart's bid is $10 million, is there anything higher than him-"

"10.01 million." Sure enough, a voice sounded beside him, and Zosi answered.

Of course, once again gathered the attention of the audience, the price he threw out was really staggering, I am afraid that no one was not surprised, the young master Furcumins who was still bold and generous, since he should be at the price at this time, there is no reason to be so stingy and only 10,000 US dollars higher than the previous family.

But if you think about it deeply, there may already be shrewd people who smell the smell of the two of them fighting openly and secretly.

"10.02 million." Shang Xunyi obviously didn't eat his set, concocted it in the same way, did not blindly increase the price, and played with him very patiently.

The scene was once again surprised.

Zoshi smiled slightly, "20 million." ”

Naturally, he was not in a hurry. He could see, or already knew in advance, that Shang Xinyi was coming for this "crystal", so no matter how high the price he thrown, Shang Xunyi would follow the price, so he could raise the price as much as possible, anyway, it must be Shang Jingyi who suffered losses in the end.

This is no longer a competition, but a competition between them.

"20,010,000." Shang Xun raised the corners of his lips. It took a lot of time to not lose to Zosi, which made this secret battle look more like a game.

Similarly, no matter how high he bids anyway, Zosi won't let go easily, so why should he rush to call a high price, even if it's good to play with Zosi.

It's just a game of fighting between the two of them, but in vain the audience is confused and confused, Mr. Nicholas calmly cleared his throat, "20010000." The current bidding price of 'Crystal' is 20.01 million, is there anyone who bids higher? ”

It seems that this sentence is redundant, if there is anyone on the field who will spend tens of millions to buy a violin, then this person is none other than Young Master Stewart, it is none other than Young Master Furkmins.

"50 million." It seemed that Zoshi seemed to be a little impatient, and directly forced the price, and the sound of gasping air again sounded on the field.

"60 million." Shang Jingyi still answered unhurriedly, although he didn't seem to care. But I understand that this "crystal" must have a special meaning to him. can make him so reluctant.

It's just that what kind of piano can make Shang Xinyu treat him so differently?

"70 million." Zosi is not a good man and a woman, not to mention treating the enemy, he continues to raise the price, anyway, in the end, he will pay the bill, and he can knock a lot of money before that. Let him suffer some losses, and by the way, he will regain a city for himself in the previous battle between the two families.

The corners of Mr. Nicholas's mouth, which Tozosi has earned a lot of money, have long been uncontrollably raised, and he happily announced: "70 million, the current bid on the field is 70 million US dollars, is there any ......?"

"100 million."

It's silent.

Mr. Nicholas glared at the nonchalant discussion. The whole audience stared at Mr. Stewart, who was so calm that he seemed to say, "Bring me a cup of coffee," and their jaws were about to drop.

Obviously, Young Master Shang, who had never liked this kind of boring game, finally became a little impatient with this tug-of-war, and the corners of Zuoxi's mouth furled, looking quite satisfied with the current situation.

There was a long silence on and off the field, and after a while, someone finally exclaimed in hindsight.

"$100 million ...... for the first time," Nicholas' voice was already a little trembling.

Zosi shrugged and graciously withdrew from the competition.

"$100 million for the second time," as if there was no need for hesitation, Nicholas continued, "$100 million for the third time—deal!" Congratulations Mr. Stewart! ”

The audience erupted in warm applause, and Zoshi also applauded and congratulated him with a gentlemanly demeanor, but there was always a smile of unknown meaning on his lips, which was incomprehensible.

After a burst of enthusiasm, Mr. Nicholas cleared his throat and the scene returned to calm, "Then, thank you for your support, today's auction is a successful conclusion, please wait for a while, when we have completed the necessary formalities, you can take the items you bid on, in the meantime you are welcome to stay at Nicholas Manor for a while and enjoy the coffee and desserts I have prepared for you." If it is not convenient to stay longer, I will also send an assistant to deliver the items you photographed to your mansion in the near future, and finally, thank you again for coming, and I hope that Nicholas Manor can bring you a wonderful afternoon, thank you......"

*

When the bloodless battle was over, we paced to a sizable shooting range at the back of the manor, where the vast green space stretched unbridled into the bushes planted on the distant slopes, surrounded by gentlemen and ladies who sat and chatted or walked leisurely, making the afternoon seem particularly slow and intoxicating, as if even shooting had become a very elegant affair.

In the rest area next to the shooting range, Zosi handed me a square black box and said with a light smile: "Take it apart and take a look." ”

I opened the box, and a small silver pistol chilled the light around me under the black silk wrapping.

"Before I learn to shoot, I think I should give you a gift......" The delicate coffee cup moved away from his lips, and Zoshi said slowly, "It's called kahr. MK9 is a platinum limited collector's edition, small caliber, light weight and easy to operate, suitable for girls, you can use it later to defend yourself. ”

I gazed at such a beautiful thing as a work of art for a long time, and I could hardly equate it with a murder weapon, but more like an elegant accessory, and I silently said, "Thank you." ”

"So, let's learn how to load bullets first......" He smiled softly, took out the gun, took a small box-like thing from the grip, and introduced it to me at his fingertips: "This is called a magazine, it is a magazine on the gun used to store bullets, detachable, and the bullets are stored in it before they are pressed into the chamber, and its main function is to hold the bullets in time, and to prepare the loading position in time when shooting." Before you shoot, make sure the magazine is full of bullets, like this......"

Holding the empty magazine in his left hand and picking up a bullet in his right hand, Zoshi demonstrated, "Turn this thing called a bullet sheet up, and then load the bullet into the magazine mouth, and use a little more force—" He pressed the bullet into the magazine with both hands, and smiled slightly, "It's simple, isn't it?" ”

I nodded, took the magazine from him, and tried it in his steps, and the bullet snapped into the magazine seamlessly.

"Good." When he saw that I had filled the magazine, he reached out and took it, smoothly loading the live magazine into the gun, "Then let's practice shooting." ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked to the shooting range.

“kahr. MK9's safe position is here," he gestured to me, he slowly lifted the safety of the gun, held the gun with both hands, and aimed at the target 25 meters away, "After making it fireable, the next thing is to raise the gun...... When raising the gun, the first thing to pay attention to is to hold the gun with your right hand, and then hold your right hand from the bottom of the gun grip with the five fingers of your left hand together or hold your right hand from the front, the thumb is naturally straight, and the grip strength is moderate, just like this......"

He pulled his arm closer for me to look closely, then handed me the gun, "Try it." ”

I took it and held the gun in his do.

"Well, that's good," he said, correcting his posture by holding my right wrist at the same time, "the first part of the index finger rests on the trigger, and the right arm is straight, and the right wrist is naturally holding up...... Very good. Keep in mind that keeping the axis of the gun in the same vertical plane as the axis of the right arm, keeping the force of holding the gun in your hand unchanged when pulling the trigger, and maintaining the correct and consistent wrist holding action at the moment of firing are the keys to accurate shooting of the pistol. ”

I nodded, "Got it." ”

"Stay in this position and don't move, the next thing is to aim." He said, the distance was a little close to me, and I couldn't help but deviate my neck and stagger his breath.

He didn't seem to pay attention, still explaining, the shallow voice was scattered in the wind, faint and empty, "The basic requirement for aiming is 'three points and one line', that is, the center of the target, the center of the top of the front sight and the center of the top of the notch are in a straight line. Or, to make the crosshair and the notch have a positive relationship...... Now, try to move your gaze so that the reticle is in the center of the notch, and your gaze can fall to the aiming point through the center of the notch and the top edge of the reticle, which is commonly known as the aiming line. ”

I did as he instructed, aimed at the bull's-eye, and adjusted it slightly, but there was a moment in my mind, and the camera pulled back, many years ago, the young man An Yuan, who had tried his best to teach me self-defense techniques, overlapped with the person in front of me.

- Girls, you have to learn self-defense techniques to protect yourself.

――It's enough to have my brother to protect me, so what's the use of self-defense? Brother, will you protect me forever? ”

Many similar scenes.

Learning self-defense techniques and learning to use guns are all ways to protect yourself.

Whether or not the expression on his face at that time revealed the answer I was hoping for, the only thing I learned was to go through the vagaries of the world and the transient changes of human feelings, and no longer seek protection from others.

I'm the only one who can protect me. (To be continued......)
