Chapter 495: Send a gun

Of course, such a topic can be used for entertainment, and no one will really hunt a lion to try. The car went westward, there were more and more animals, except for Smith, Xu Ziling and the three of them, this was the first time to come to Africa, watching the giraffe not far from the car running along, some regretted not bringing his girlfriend over to see, but thinking that there would be opportunities in the future, he was not much melancholy.

Lunch, a few people are solved in a small village next to the road, because it was once a colony, in addition to the local dialect, English is common here, and there is no language barrier, Smith's car is newly bought, a Land Rover with a displacement of 5.0L, probably people in the village rarely see such a luxury car, as soon as they enter the village, they are onlookers, of course, it is just those children, and the adults are at most standing in front of the house and pointing at it.

Sudden strangers, some people were faintly hostile, or a village chief-like figure came out to ask, learned that they were just from the Celestial Empire who came here to play, and wanted to come to ask for some food, so they were warmly entertained, of course, there was still some resistance to Smith, a white-skinned man, and he must not have much affection for Westerners.

In June, it was the beginning of the dry season, the temperature was extremely high, even if the car had been on the air conditioner, several people were a little tired after driving all morning, of course, the main reason was that the road conditions were too bad. The village chief and some people were welcomed into the thatched house and sat down, and the owner quickly brought a bunch of mangoes, coconuts and other fruits for a few people to eat, so that several people deeply felt their enthusiasm.

After the fruit, there is a pot of typical local specialty pilaf per person, of course, it will not be rice, but banana rice, this thing including Smith is the first time to eat, quite a novel feeling, but after eating, they all feel that this thing is okay to eat once in a while, but if you eat it often, then thank you for not sensitive.

Anyway, they didn't plan to go back at night, so they didn't leave immediately after dinner, but sat in the house and chatted with the village chief, chatting about their lives, and chatting about the life of the dynasty.

Xu Ziling can also understand this kind of thought, the house they are in is the home of the village chief in this village, but they didn't see a single electrical appliance, and after asking, they learned that they don't have electricity here at all, even the village chief's home is like this, other families can imagine, for ordinary people, life is extremely hard, and wanting each of them to be loyal to the country is obviously just a joke.

There were still nearly 100 kilometers to go in the afternoon, and a few people didn't dare to stay longer, and at about two o'clock, they got up and left, and when they left, Smith took out a hundred dollars, which was considered to be their meal.

I didn't expect this move to cause some people in the village chief to be unhappy, saying that they looked down on them as poor people, so that Xu Ziling was a little indifferent, and some didn't understand their feelings, you must know that in those chaotic places on the continent of Africa, five dollars, ten dollars can hire people to ask for other people's lives, a hundred dollars is not much for them, but for these black-faced farmers who still have problems with food and clothing, it is definitely an extra wealth, I didn't expect them to refuse for the sake of "friends", but it can also be seen from here, These people really see them as friends.

Seeing that they sternly refused, of course Xu Ziling and they would not force them to be forced, and they were ready to leave after being polite, but inadvertently saw a young man whispering next to the village chief, the village chief stopped talking, thinking that there was probably something to ask them to help with, and he felt that he couldn't eat their meal in vain, so Xu Ziling asked.

The village chief is a little old, belonging to the kind of people who are highly respected, and when he was asked by Xu Ziling, he was a little embarrassed, but maybe the question was too important to them, and he struggled for a while, but he still said it head-on: It turned out that they wanted to ask Xu Ziling if they had any bullets, and if so, if they could give them some, they could exchange things for them.

Xu Ziling and the four of them are all strange, you must know that several of them are dressed as outdoor tourists, and they don't seem to be able to match the people who will have guns at all, how can these people think that they will have bullets? If it weren't for the fact that these people were definitely authentic farmers, they would have really doubted the origin of these people.

"Why do you ask that?"

Several people looked at each other, and Xu Ziling asked the old man curiously.

After the words were spoken, he felt that he was not so embarrassed, the old village chief listened to Xu Ziling's words, realized that there was a play, and he was not embarrassed before, and said to a few people with a smile: "I have also seen people who come to the grassland to play, and unlike you, they will ask our local police to protect them." You don't seem to be a first-time person who goes outside to play, so you probably don't understand that it can be dangerous here, but you don't hire anyone, so I guess you should have the ability to protect yourself before you dare not hire people. ”

It's as simple as that?

After listening to what the old village chief said, several people looked at each other, but they didn't expect to miss this matter at all.

"Also, just now my nephew saw the pistol on this gentleman when he sat down." Perhaps because he was afraid that one reason would not be enough to convince a few people, the old village chief paused for a moment and pointed to Smith again.

……

At this moment, Xu Ziling also understood what the person who spoke in the village chief's ear before had said.

Zhilu explained this reason, and they were curious about the old village chief, what did they want bullets for, from a few hours of contact, they could see that these people were not people who could rob, and they didn't fight, why did they want bullets? And they only ask for bullets, which means they have guns?

With the love of a meal, it didn't matter if they were given some bullets, but a few people were curious about what they wanted guns for, so they decided to ask.

When they asked, the old village chief quickly answered, but the reason was that several people fell silent.

It turns out that some robbers are not only robbing passers-by, but also running to their small villages like them, which are not very populated around to do evil, in order to resist, they have to buy guns to resist, an AK rifle on the black market is only 200 US dollars, but as a consumable bullet is not a small cost, and the black market is not close to here, because of a resistance not long ago, their ammunition has consumed a lot, and they are about to go to the black market to buy, but they have received news that someone has recently targeted this village, worried that those people will come at any time, and now I happened to meet Xu Ziling and them, so I tried to make such a request.

"Smith, how many rifle bullets did you bring?" Xu Ziling turned around and asked Smith.

"About 400 rounds!" Smith only remembered to stuff it into the bag, not sure the specific amount, listening to Xu Ziling's question, he replied casually, "It's not a task, and I didn't remember this." The language of the Celestial Empire used by the two of them was not worried that those people would understand, and there was nothing taboo for Smith to speak.

"Shall we give them half then? We're going to run into something, and if two hundred rifle rounds plus pistol rounds can't solve the problem, then the bullets don't mean much at best. Xu Ziling thought about it and discussed it with a few people.

Including Smith, several people are quite conceited about their marksmanship skills, indeed as Xu Ziling said, if something really happens, so many bullets haven't been done, then they must just run into a large army, then they will run away, and a little more bullets are really useless.

"I'll give them a gun, we won't be able to touch anything anyway, and we probably won't be able to use it, and besides, do we still have three rifles and pistols, and we can handle anything. I think these people are really pitiful, they are all poor, not to mention, and they have to be robbed. ”

I don't know how Li Cheng moved his heart of compassion, Xu Ziling said to take 200 rounds of ammunition, and when he came to him, he added another gun.

A few people carry guns just in case, but there is no definite use, for them, it is enough to use a pistol for self-defense, and it is not to go to war, there are small things that will be resolved peacefully, and they will definitely not use force until they are serious, and the further west here is the mountainous area, basically it is difficult for people to meet, except to prevent being targeted by fierce beasts, there is not much difference between having a rifle and not having a rifle, Li Cheng's words came out, and the others had no objections, and nodded, which was in favor.

Xu Ziling saw that he agreed, so he walked to the car, opened the car door, took out a brand new AK from the bag placed in the back seat, and a few magazines and a box popped out, and then walked to the village chief and handed these things to a young man standing next to him.

A box of standard 200 rounds, plus two standard magazines, that's 260 rounds, plus a brand new rifle, made the people in the village dumbfounded, they used to buy bullets from the black market, 50 rounds at a time is more, of course, it's not that they don't want to buy more, and a bullet costs a few dollars, they don't have so much money to buy. And they heard that the price has risen recently, and they originally planned to buy forty rounds this time, but they didn't expect that now Xu Ziling and they took out hundreds of rounds and a gun at once.

"I'll give you these!" Looking at their unfamiliar appearance, Xu Ziling smiled, said a word, and then beckoned a few people to get in the car and set off.

Seeing that they were leaving, they came to their senses, and the village chief also used a quick movement that did not match his old man, ran over with an arrow step, grabbed Xu Ziling, and turned around to say something to a young man in their voice, and then said to Xu Ziling: "We don't have so much money to buy, so we can only exchange things with you." ”

Hearing what he said, Xu Ziling immediately understood that the young man who ran to the house after listening to what he said just now should have gone to get the things exchanged with them, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, these things were given to them, and they didn't think about collecting money at all, not to mention that they were all rich people, and these two small coins were not rare, just for the sake of a meal, they wouldn't collect money, it was regarded as an equal exchange.

"No...... I said it was a gift for you as a friend. ”

Xu Ziling hurriedly explained, but just saw the young man who ran into the house before running out again, different from going in empty-handed, when he came out, he was holding a huge ivory in his hand, seeing this, his face twitched, such a big ivory in exchange for hundreds of bullets and an AK, isn't this a bit too loser.
