Chapter Seventy-Nine: Trustworthy Driving Skills
In the choice of the location of the conversation between the two sides, Fang Ziyu saw significant cultural differences.
As a native of China, influenced by his father, Fang Ziyu chose to start a dialogue with Luo Jinyu in Yuejiang Tower. Because it is a long-standing tradition for Chinese people to talk about business at the dinner table in the wine field.
But Luo Jinyu obviously does not understand this, although she was raised by a Chinese family since she was a child, has a nice Chinese name, and can speak fluent Chinese, she grew up in Cleveland and is still an American Commonwealth at heart.
Commonwealth prefers to talk when both parties are doing the same thing, and in their eyes, a golf course or racetrack is a better place to talk than a restaurant.
In terms of personal circumstances, perhaps Luo Jinyu was more interested in shooting, so she chose the shooting range.
"Shooting range?"
Fang Ziyu was stunned and surprised.
Luo Jinyu proposed to go to the shooting range instead of going to the Yinjiang Yuewan Golf Resort, which is a good thing for Fang Ziyu, after all, he doesn't know as much about golf as he knows about Gorky, at least when he was in elementary school, he also learned a few articles about Gorky in Chinese class.
Shooting is different, Fang Ziyu has honed his marksmanship in a game world full of zombies and mutants. Of course, this is relatively good, even if you are talented, it is impossible to practice accurate marksmanship with less than 100 hours of training time.
However, does Yinjiang have a shooting range?
I've heard of a few archery halls that play compound bows, but Fang Ziyu has never heard of a shooting range on the outskirts of Yinjiang City where you can play with real guns.
"It's not too far from here, sixty kilometers by car." Luo Jinyu nodded in response, and her words were conclusive, probably true.
"I estimate that the place she said is an abandoned shooting range in the direction of Zhahe Town, covering an area of about 30,000 square meters, which was built by the Provincial Light Weapons Research Institute, which used to be a key base for national defense education in Handong Province, and later planned to be transformed into a large-scale amusement park to carry out recreational shooting projects, but in the end it was not done."
The whisper in his ear made Fang Ziyu suddenly realize that it was there.
The shooting range Jiang Lan said was built at the end of the 80s of the last century, and at that time, domestic gun control was not as strict as it is now, although military police standard guns basically did not circulate in the market, but black guns and local guns can still be seen everywhere, and car bandits and road rage are embarrassed to say that they are here to rob if they don't have a few long-mouthed and short dogs.
According to the policy of the central government to protect the army and convert it to civilian use, both Los Angeles and Yinjiang built shooting ranges, one as a national defense education base, and the other to carry out recreational shooting projects, but with the repeated increase in gun control, this plan was stillborn, and the abandoned shooting range was not converted to other uses.
In the past few years, there were many enthusiasts who were equipped to play live CS in the shooting range, but later the public security investigation became stricter and stricter, and it was difficult to see people in the abandoned shooting range, and they were almost forgotten by people.
Jiang Lan would know that this place was not strange, although he was from Pingcheng, but after following Fang Ziyu, he spent most of his time in Yinjiang, in order to better arrange the actions of Xu Baiyi and others, he basically memorized the map route of Yinjiang City, suburbs and surrounding towns and towns.
Strangely, when was a new shooting range built there? Fang Ziyu had never heard of such a thing, he wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again.
As the host, it is a bit embarrassing to say that he did not know that there was a shooting range in his main range of activities.
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Ziyu nodded again in agreement, and after checking out and going out, Luo Jinyu and Liang Bo took Fang Ziyu into a new car with a temporary license plate.
Liang Bo took a nap when he got into the back seat, and it was Luo Jinyu who was driving, which made Fang Ziyu feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, on the one hand, he had heard the legends of various female drivers, and on the other hand, Luo Jinyu was too young to apply for a driver's license in Huaxia.
Probably seeing Fang Ziyu's uneasiness, Luo Jinyu deliberately slowed down the speed of the car and said softly: "The United States is a country that lives on wheels, and there is neither a dense and advanced high-speed rail network, nor the buses and buses that can be seen everywhere. Did you know that I've heard that many young people in Ohio have never ridden a bus other than a train or school bus, because the U.S. federal has one of the lowest percentage of public transportation in the developed world, and that's a good idiom? ”
"Nope." Fang Ziyu vaguely guessed what Luo Jinyu was going to say next, he never thought that chatting with a girl he had just met would have such a tacit understanding.
"We travel long distances by plane, drive or hitchhike on short and medium-distance trips or commutes, so many people start learning to drive in junior high school, and when they meet the requirements for applying for a driver's license, they are two or three years old." Luo Jinyu's smile was a little proud, "That's how I am, so my driving skills are trustworthy, please rest assured." ”
Hearing this, Fang Ziyu didn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?" Luo Jinyu blinked, and her blue and moist pupils overflowed with puzzlement, "Did I say something wrong?" ”
"No, there isn't." Fang Ziyu shook his head with an embarrassed expression, "It's just ...... words like 'old driver', 'stable driving skills', and 'drag racing', and now there is another meaning." Well, it's all Internet terms, and it's hard to explain. ”
"Oh? That must be a very interesting meaning to make you smile genuinely, and you have been keeping your face strained, even if it is a polite smile. Luo Jinyu was thoughtful.
"Ahem." Fang Ziyu was even more embarrassed, but at the same time of embarrassment, there was an indescribable sense of ease.
Lower the window, the cool breeze outside, take a deep breath, there is no uncomfortable smell of leather in the car, except for the smell of wine on Liang Bo's body, there is also a faint smell of fresh fruit.
At this moment, Fang Ziyu finally understood why many people liked to sit in the car for a ride, he smiled, did not speak again, and Luo Jinyu stopped speaking.
Jiang Lan familiarly adjusted the call to silent mode so as not to disturb this rare tranquility.
After the car drove out of the city, the lights gradually dimmed, the moonlight and starlight gradually brightened, and when Fang Ziyu raised his head and counted to the eighty-ninth star, the car stopped.
"Here we are." After Luo Jinyu got out of the car, he first opened the car door for Liang Bo, and then pointed to the entrance of the shooting range and introduced, "This was an abandoned shooting range before, and I wanted to find a place to practice when I went to Beijing before, but the land price and housing prices in Beijing are too high, so I asked Sister Wen and Sister Yang to help me rent this shooting range and transform it into a shooting range, for the time being, there are only thirteen pistols, seven rifles, and sufficient ammunition reserves, if you are interested in firearms and shooting, you are welcome to come often." ”
Fang Ziyu looked up, and the main entrance and lobby were brightly lit, which made him fall into deep thought.
