Chapter Eighty-Four: Inquiry
The place where Dugu lives is not far from the entrance of the village, which also has a second floor, and the owner is an old man who looks seventy or eighty years old, and a pair of fourteen-year-old twin girls, probably because the rented house is only on the second floor, so that this convenient place is not rented out, after all, Nanling University often travels in groups, and couples will not rent a house in this kind of place where the sound insulation is not very good.
The old man's name Dugu Yinmo is not very clear, the most important thing is that the old man's pure Shuchuan dialect Dugu Yinmo is really difficult to hear, to the pair of twins who are in junior high school speak correctly, Dugu Yinmo can't tell who is older, or from the smile on the grandmother's face and the Sichuan dialect barely know that the one who can speak is the boss, called Da Nan, quiet and not good at talking is small, called Xiao Nan, of course, Dugu Yin Mo has learned the names of the two from Da Nan's mouth, respectively called Li Qingyan and Li Qingxue, The name is still very nice.
The old man was very enthusiastic, and couldn't stop praising Dugu Yinmo for being a strong guy, which can be regarded as the most true sentence that Dugu Yinmo heard, and now Lingnan Province is still a little cold at this time, but it is still very warm in the town with animal skins spread under the bed and blankets.
Dinner was eaten in the yard, the yard was not big, but eating under the tree made Dugu Yinmo quite a feeling of going back to the past, in the summer when he was a child, the children in the orphanage gathered under the big tree to eat, Chen Yun at that time was the one who could twitter the most, compared to Li Qingyan to be able to speak, can't help it, Dugu Yinmo began to respond to Li Qingyan's constant inquiries, of course, this is also related to the contact for a long time and the Li sisters do not have too much defense
"You're a student at Southridge University?" Li Qingyan asked curiously
"What do you think?"
"It's not!"
"Uh, why?" Dugu raised his eyebrows silently, a little curious
"Hey, Hey, Axue, you say!"
"I" Li Qingxue was a little shy, and she blushed
"Eh! What are you afraid of, do you think Brother Dugu looks like a bad person?"
"Oh" Li Qingxue nodded, then raised her head and turned her eyes to stare at Dugu Yinmo with the same big eyes as her sister, and said in a soft tone: "The brothers and sisters of Nanling University are generally many people together, and almost none of them act alone."
Dugu couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect that the voices of the two sisters were also different, Li Qingxue didn't speak Dugu Yinmo thought that there was no difference between the two sisters except for their personalities, and then said: "Since you all know that the students of Nanling University all act collectively, and there is only one hotel in your family, how can there be a business in this way."
Li Qingxue instantly lowered her head and stirred the rice silently, Li Qingyan couldn't help but be a little angry, and the grandmother looked at her granddaughter with relief and squinted her eyes and didn't speak.
"This is arranged by my mother, and my mother said that even if the real destined person is a person in a room, it will eventually become a room for two people." In the end, Li Qingyan said with a smile, even the old grandmother couldn't help laughing, I have to say that the twins are really interesting, one is extremely serious, bold and lively, and the other is timid and cowardly.
After dinner, Dugu Yinmo went back upstairs first, the twin sisters have to go to school tomorrow, Dugu Yinmo is not in a hurry, and they are all in junior high school, and they already know a lot of things.
waited for the grandmother to arrange for the two to sleep, and then greeted Dugu Yinmo, but Dugu Yinmo was a little inconvenient and was about to refuse, but he did not continue to refuse.
"Grandma, how do you know?" Dugu asked silently and flatly, completely lacking the relaxed feeling when he treated his twin sisters
"I used to be a female soldier, and my old man is also a veteran, do you think I can see it." The old woman was still speaking in dialect, but Dugu could clearly hear that the old man was already trying his best to slow down his speech.
"That's the case" Dugu hesitated silently, and couldn't help but say: "Grandma, I have a mission this time, I hope you can"
"The task of the army? How do I look at you," the old man was visibly unconvinced
"Anyway, I hope you can keep it secret, this is my ID." Dugu Yinmo has no choice, of course, in the face of an old man, Dugu Yinmo does not have so much defense.
"Uh, this is" The old man was taken aback, because she couldn't have imagined that Dugu Yinmo was actually a major at a young age, but the simple old man didn't think about other aspects, so he believed it, and then the old man didn't say much, just put things away, and then went back to rest.
Early the next morning, the twin sisters went to school almost as early as Dugu silently, and the old man was also normal as if nothing had happened, and then, Dugu silently could tentatively ask about the local residents, and the old grandmother, who had a good impression of the military, knew everything.
"You ask if we have guns in town?" The old grandmother was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, she really knew something
"It's normal to have guns in the town, and I've always lived here, and I know more about the people here, but I may not know much about the people in the town, but they are all villagers, and they don't have a bow, a gun, or something to guard against wild beasts."
"Just to guard against wild beasts?" Dugu was silent, a little uncertain
"Yes, young man, you don't know, in the past, there were only a hundred or so households in a village at most, and the villages were not far apart, but there were a lot of beasts, that is, when the road was being built, there were several wolves, so every family was a little guarded, you are a soldier, I won't hide it from you, even grandma, I also have a crossbow arrow that has been stored for a long time at home, but I haven't used it for a long time."
"That's understandable, but what I want to know is what kind of guns are in general?"
"Most of these are shotguns, now you're too early, if in two months someone in the town will go hunting beasts, you'll be able to see it then!"
Dugu said silently: "Grandma, you also know that I am a soldier, where do you want to see this?"
"Uh, too" The old man's face froze, a little embarrassed
"I was asking if you know what these shotguns look like? The old-fashioned kind or something else?"
"Of course it's old-fashioned, but there are few that kind of shotguns, and now the villagers basically have crossbows at home, and the country doesn't allow guns to have them, even if they have shotguns, they are also related to the town, and they don't usually take them out."
Dugu was a little disappointed when he heard it, but the possibility of the gun being exposed is indeed very small, but it was easy to have some clues Dugu Yin Mo didn't want to miss it, and said from the perspective of just in case: "Where did the half of the bullets they use come from?"
"The bullets seem to be from the fireworks factory and then homemade, the steel balls in it are the kind in the bicycle, the kind of ten yuan big bag, right, it seems that last year I heard the old Wang next door say that a few people got some bullets, it is the kind of bullets with pointed heads, the accuracy and power are very great!"
"A pointed-nosed bullet?" Dugu Yinmo instantly concentrated, first of all, according to the old grandmother, the townspeople in Linjiang Town are at most shotguns filled with black powder and steel balls, and how can point-tipped bullets be used on shotguns, this is completely a product of two eras, this is not only the simple literal meaning of breech guns and breech guns!
Dugu Yinmo understood one thing almost instantly, that is, this shotgun that can fire pointed bullets is 100% modified! But the question is, can such a thing as modifying guns be done by ordinary people?
