Chapter 51: Trying the Blade on the Shore
It turned out that the geese lived in groups and lived on the beach in the water, and if a hunter came near, they immediately spotted it. At this time, the power of the shotgun was not so great that it could kill the bird across the water, so a smart person came up with a way to catch the bird, brought a puppy, and let the puppy run on the shore. Even when the geese are sleeping, they have special sentinels. The sentry first saw the movement, became alert, and then looked at it, but it was only a dog, and it ran blindly, and could not threaten them, so he was relieved.
But the hunter threw the meat out to the dogs behind the stones. If the conditions are not good, and you are reluctant to throw away a lot of meat, you will take the mixed noodles and minced meat, knead them into small balls and throw them out, and the dog also loves them, so they rush over to grab food. The hunter throws one on the left and one on the right, and the dog pounces on the left and right.
The wild goose was far away, and when I saw the dog jubilating left and right, I couldn't help but wonder: Yo, what's going on?
To say that geese are really curious animals. Curiosity is a reflection of IQ. The geese have a high IQ, which is reflected in the fact that they can fly in teams and have sentinels when they are resting. But the IQ is still not high enough compared to others, and it is easy to lose your life.
Nine times out of ten, curious sentinels will swim in to see what is going on. When they came near, the hunter threw out his net and caught them.
This time, the sound of the sentinel entering the water also alarmed several other geese. In the end, a total of five geese came. There were too many of them, but the nets were not big enough to catch them all, and two geese flapped their wings and fled. Then he saw a gunshot from behind the stones, and he knocked down one of them.
It was a shotgun.
Guns of that time, of poor quality. The firing range is short, the accuracy is poor, and it is easy to blow up, and it is very time-consuming to reload. I can't count on it when I fight. It can still be used when hunting, but it can not be used all the time. You can try to hunt birds, but if the birds are too small and fly too fast, you can't do it. A little clever ghost like a finch is not as suitable as a slingshot. Why don't you have a saying to stay and call it "Pearl Bullet Sparrow"?
Yun Jian saw that the person behind the stone could shoot down a wild goose, and he already felt that this person's skills were good. As I was looking, another wild goose also fell.
It turned out that the bullet was not a projectile. If it's a mud-burned projectile. It is easy to explode during the firing of gunpowder. If it's a stone or a piece of iron. It's too heavy, and the launch accuracy is even worse. Therefore, this gun is loaded with "loose sand bullets", and the iron sand used is shot out in a large area. The gunner first aimed at a wild goose. Knocked down. The wings of another wild goose were also swept by the iron sand. I flew first, but I didn't fly high, and then I fell.
Yun Jian and Yun Shi looked at each other. After changing his eyes, he asked the boatman to come to the shore.
The hunter had collected his prey, called the dogs, and was about to leave, when he heard someone in the boat calling him.
When the boat approached, the hunter had already seen it, and he was worried that the boat would scare the geese away. Fortunately, the boat was interesting and did not get very close, and when he could catch the geese, the boat came closer again. The hunter thought, I'm afraid that some kind of city people want to come and see a wild fun. He hunted geese this time, it was for his own use, and he didn't sell it, he was too lazy to ride the uncle in the city, so he pretended not to see, raised his legs to leave, who knew that people called him, he had to stop, look at the son on the boat, but he was good-looking, not only born tall, but also eyebrows like a sword, the depth of his eyes, the bridge of his nose is heroic, not to mention, plus the clothes, the pomp of the servants, looking extraordinary. He didn't feel that his voice was much more polite: "Dare to ask Gongye, what are your orders?" β
Yun Jian praised him for his good marksmanship.
He was ashamed and said: It is all taught well by the owner. Now that he's using a scattershot, he's just hitting, what's there to boast about?
Yun Jian asked him where the owner was?
He replied: It was the owner of Lu Village. Later, the world was in turmoil, and the owner of Lu Zhuang also left, and now his whereabouts are unknown. And they scattered their customers.
Yun Jian asked him for his surname, and he replied that his surname was Xue, and the grass man had no name, so he had a single name. Yun Jian asked him again if he was here to fight geese? Xue Bai couldn't help laughing, and he knew that his son knew that he could make a living just by fighting geese? Sometimes I'm idle, and I'm doing it with me. This time, there is a reason - he is going to get married, and according to the rules, he wants to have a "laying goose", and he often buys a duck to make up the number. He thought that he could fight anyway, and there were geese in the water, so he came to catch a couple and send them to his father-in-law's house.
As he spoke, his face turned red, a little ashamed, and he was happy.
Yun Jian also said hello for him, and said that he wanted to give a gift to rejoice. Xue Bai hurriedly excused himself, saying that it was a meeting in Pingshui, how could he bear it. Yun Jian said: "The vast world, we met in Pingshui, and it coincided with your happy event, and I happened to have something, how do you know that God didn't specifically want you to accept this thing?" If you shirk it again, it will be hypocritical. So he asked Wan Dian to take it out, it was an embroidered bag, which contained a jade unicorn, beads and colored threads. Yun Jian was ashamed: "I was supposed to wear a tassel, but I was too late for a while, so I had to bother Zuntang to hit it." β
Xue Bai said: "Lingtang has passed. β
Yun Jian was busy blaming himself and annoyed him. Xue Bai said: "It's nothing. It was many years ago. β
It's also these years, it's too easy to die of illness, and it's also war, so it's rare to survive! Isn't this called seventy years of life? Yun Jian didn't delve into it, but said, "Speaking of which, is the strong man in a hurry to go back?" Why don't you go to the boat with a glass of wine, and let the little maid put on the beads and dress them well? Where does the strong man live? Maybe you can send the strong man home along the waterway? β
Xue Bai still refused, and said embarrassed. Yun Jian had already gotten off the boat and put him on the arm: "If you twist it again, be a daughter, it's not beautiful!" β
Xue Bai had no choice but to get on the boat and hand over the wild goose that was injured and killed to the boatman to be dehaired and burned. The boatman saw that he was killed, and a handful of iron sand was hit on the head, and the head was broken, and the shout was good. Yun Jian toasted Xue Bai and talked to him about martial arts.
The boatman first scalded a pot of wine, opened a plate of salted eggs to invite the guests to eat, and cut a whole smoked chicken and soaked it in brine and sent it to the guests.
Xue Bai was polite first, after drinking two or three cups and moving a few chopsticks, the pride was released, and Yun Jian talked about the sword and the sword, and when it came to the nine-section whip, Yun Jian said that this is a good killing weapon, it is not heavy, but the strength of the fight is strong. Xue Baimian was hesitant, and he said: "If you practice well, it's ......."
Yun Jian didn't mean anything to hear from him, he must ask him to be thorough. Xue Bai said: "This is a soft weapon, it is not easy to practice." β
Wan Dian You also played sideways to accompany him, and after hearing this, he said: "It's good to practice well, usually walk the rivers and lakes, tie it to the waist, put on a coat, you can't see it, make it up, soft can lock people's joints, hard can break bones and brains, the end is good." β
Xue Bai sighed, lifted his coat, and asked them to see: "Xiao Ke is a nine-section whip here." β
Wan Dian praised: "I don't know Mount Tai with eyes!" It turns out that Brother Tai is a master! β
Xue Bai shook his head and said, "It's exactly when I talk about this, I'm ashamed of the immortals!" Xiao Ke was so ambitious back then, and I heard that the nine-section whip had so many benefits, so I chose this to learn, and I have been stumbling so far, and the high is not low. It's too late to go back and learn swords. I didn't learn this whip well in the end. Sometimes it is simply folded and used as a short stick. If you want to talk about whipping, it still can't be done. I really want to tell those post-born children that if you don't have talent, don't choose this, otherwise your life will be wasted. β
Wan Dian said: "Brother Tai is only modest, in fact, his skills must be good." β
Xue Bai said: "The two of you praise like this, I don't know how to respond." The skills of the two must be good! β
Wan Dian said: "There is no basis for empty words, while there is interest now, why don't you ask for advice?" β
Xue Bai is also a man's pride, and he agrees with him, but it's not how to learn from each other.
Wan Dian took out a slingshot first, and said ashamedly: "I was born in a gangster, and I only used slingshots." Brother Xue doesn't laugh at it, how about I take this first? β
Xue Bai took his marbles to look at, extremely knowledgeable about the goods, full of praise, I don't know how this was burned, it was harder than steel! ββThis is also because the iron ore of the Central Plains is too poor, and the firing technology is too inferior, so the purple mud at the bottom of the river burns well and can be stronger than the iron of the Central Plains.
Wan Dian said how the river mud was burned, and Xue Bai was full of envy, saying that it was too wasteful to beat it. Wan Dian said: "Wow! When brothers meet, they still care about these! "Looking at the grassy place by the river, fly a stone out first, and sure enough, a pair of gulls and herons were startled, and Wandian fired a bullet, and also knocked down a heron in one fell swoop. Xue Bai screamed well, and also fired a gun to shoot down the other one. The dog brought the bird back, and when everyone looked at it, a mud bullet was embedded in the brain, killing him on the spot. The bullet was embedded in the skull, blocked by the skull, did not fly out, and could be recycled.
Xue Bai praised: "Not only is the head accurate, but the strength is also good!" This is exactly the ability to embed the rebound, how did you get it? β
Wan Dian said with a smile: "Don't hide it from your brother!" I also happened to have it! Where can you have such good strength? β
Xue Bai said: "This is also Brother Wan's old way, just right, so that he can happen to have this beautiful thing." If you change to someone else, it's either light or crooked, where is there luck to happen like this? β
Wan Dianyou raised his glass and said: "For Brother Xue's praise, I'll have a cup for myself first!" Yun Jian raised his glass and rejoiced. I drank this cup for a while, and then looked at the one that Xue Bai played, still twitching and struggling.
It turned out that Xue Bai's shotgun was not strong enough, and when he hit it, it was so far away, and his accuracy was also poor. The heron bird was shot in the neck and is not dead. Xue Bai's face was scornful. Yun Jian still respects him, and it is already very good that the Dao Spear can fight like this.
Xue Bai always felt faceless. Wan Dian invited him to try his blade on the shore, and he gladly went. Wan Dian made a gesture of respect, the Dao was newly refined after the swordsmanship followed the cloud sword, after all, it was not good, and Xue Bai's subordinates were merciful. Xue Bai was also humble, saying that a good sword has no eyes, people have eyes, this time only to learn friendship, not to fight for life and death, the two of them will fight in one place.
