Chapter Twenty-Five: Strike Again
"Great-grandson, I heard that you have gone out to fight bandits these days, you see that you have extra guns, even earth cannons, we don't dislike them, can you sell a few to grandpa and me."
On this day, when Liu He was waiting for the news of Li Lu and others at home, Liu Xiucai came to him, and Liu Xiucai's goal was confirmed, that is, he wanted to buy the earthen cannon in Liu He's hand, why buy it from Liu He's hand, but there are yes outside, this Liu Xiucai said, I hope Liu He will sell it to them cheaper, but he can't afford it outside.
Although Liu Xiucai and these people don't have too much land, they are also good people in the village, and they naturally want to be safe, at first they were greedy when they saw Li Laocai having a gun, but no one was willing to pay for a gun by themselves, until this time I heard that Liu He went out to fight bandits, and then I remembered the earthen cannon in Liu He's hand, this is finally a gun, isn't it.
"Grandpa, in this way, I can give you those eight earthen cannons, and I will give you another rifle, but I have a request, that is, the person you choose must learn to use these guns, not like Li Laocai, who makes people carry guns on their backs as a toy, and they have not even fired a gun once."
This is indeed what Liu He only learned after many inquiries, none of the two family members under Li Laocai can shoot, but they can show off their power everywhere on their backs, in fact, they are just a kind of goods.
"But great-grandson, who will teach us?" "Rifle, who told me about the people here, let someone teach you." "Hehe, it's my little grandson who said it, didn't he also learn to shoot with the dogs, he listened to the dogs."
Naturally, Liu He guessed that this thing was said from the mouth of a child, at first when Liu Xiucai came to him, Liu He was angry in his heart, but after thinking about it, he really didn't tell the long-term workers to say it, and then there were children, this word would naturally spread out, and then Liu He was going to announce discipline, and nothing could be said, especially now it was three or four years, and the little devils would invade in less than three years, and this place was very close to the railway line, and the little devils would naturally visit often. This requires everyone to keep their mouths tight.
"Grandpa, this matter of having a gun, please ask you to be old, you must say to the whole village, you must not say it, no one asks, don't admit that there are guns in our village, and you have to say that there is no one in our village who can shoot guns, and take Li Laocai as an example, just say that he also had a gun at the beginning, so please arrange it for you to be old."
"Well, good great-grandson, although I don't know what you think, I can see that you are good to the village, but great-grandson, you tell me whether Wang Dabeard was killed by you, because I saw that several of your long-term workers were originally Wang Dabeard's men."
Liu He Yingtian sighed, this secret really can't be kept, Liu Xiucai is an old fox, if he didn't want to buy cheap guns today, he wouldn't have told this matter.
…………
"The owner, the owner, I heard that there were bandits on Jinfeng Mountain, sixty miles away from our village, but they had already gone down the mountain to rob and go back, I heard that they also came out to kill a lot of people this time, and some villagers who were unwilling to hand over their food were killed by them, and the bandit who took the lead was called Zhao Da Scar."
"He's guilty of a terrible crime, isn't he?" "Yes, they are very angry." "Alright, that's them, you go back and rest for a day, and then we need to go."
Soon, Liu He took people to set off again, this time it was divided into four parts, the first part was naturally the three-person reconnaissance group led by Li Lu, and the second part was the main generals under Liu He, they were all good hunters, that is, the last bandit extermination operation was based on them, and the third part was the rest of the people who could shoot and hit stationary targets. The fourth part is the captured part of the bandits, as well as a few long-term workers who do not have guns.
The three teams can be said to be very equal now, with ten people in each team, except for Liu He, Uncle Li, and Zhang Zhen.
The first team is lightly armed, only Liu San is carrying a rifle, this time Liu He has promised Li Lu, and when the box gun is captured, he will be equipped with one, and there is another person who is a clever and fast young man who was found out of the captured bandits, his name is Xia, this young man can run, clever, and even has some means of hiding, he was a hunter for a period of time when he was at home, but he did not hunt with a gun, but relied on traps to hunt, It is said that he once hunted a blind bear, and Li Lu fell in love with him as soon as he saw him, because they were the same kind of people.
The second team, that is, the main battle team, they are relatively light, each person's main weight is a rifle, twenty rounds of ammunition, and a water bag per person, this water bag was bought by Liu He from the county seat, because they don't have a water bottle, so they have to buy this kind of water bag used on the grassland to bring water to drink, you know, in the long march, you can not eat, water can not be drunk, in order to ensure physical strength, they do not need to carry food.
The third team is the reserve team, or the visiting team, which is also a long gun, ten rounds of ammunition, a water bag, and each carrying some dry food, which is more important than the second team.
The fourth team has more weight, they have no guns, and the standard equipment each person carries is a water bag, and there are people carrying food on their backs, and some people carrying pots, which is completely a logistics unit.
"Big brother, this time I will shoot with my eyes closed, I must watch carefully, and the bandit will be scooped for him, pop, how cool a sound is, a brute burst his brain in front of my eyes." "Brother, the last time you shot, did you also shoot with your eyes closed, I also shot with my eyes closed, I just didn't dare to watch me hit someone, you must know that it was the first time I shot someone."
Liu He listened to their discussion on the side, sweating wildly in his heart, Waterfall Khan, Genghis Khan, this can still hit people, no wonder the bandits who died last time were all kinds, it turned out that they were all beaten with their eyes closed, needless to say that other people were also like this, no wonder Liu He was the only one who was directly hit by the head last time.
However, Liu He is not worried about this operation, because these people have all killed people, and there is no longer anything to be afraid of, and even Liu He has to do ideological work for them to prevent them from killing indiscriminately.
"Hurry up, keep up, give me the bottom of the ditch, don't take the main road, don't walk to the top of the mountain, be careful if there are bandit spies seeing us." The more Liu He thought about it, the more angry he became, you actually closed your eyes and shot, so he began the process of torturing everyone.
