Chapter 10 Hair Small
From ancient times to the present day, if there is one thing that can divide warfare into two categories, it is firearms. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The improvement of firearms brought the battle into its technical phase. Individual bravery is no match for mechanical technology, and whoever can use superior weapons is a terrible enemy, just as the Western military scientist Fuller said: the use of gunpowder makes all people the same high, and war is equalized.
Old "John" was a peaceful artist who had always been respectful of firearms, and he didn't even know how to follow the steps to reload the gun system.
Therefore, when John arrives at the warehouse where the guns and ammunition are placed, there are suddenly some strange and curious glances around him.
It was really unexpected that the eldest young master would come here, this was what they thought in their hearts, and they didn't have to guess to know.
John put his hat on a hanger outside the warehouse, hooked his hand to the man next to him, and said,
"Go get that bastard from Renault here."
Renaud is John's good buddy who grew up together from wearing open crotch pants, and he is small, but after John chose to go to Virginia and was admitted to the College of William & Mary, they didn't see each other for a long time, and they became more and more literary, and the relationship between them slowly faded.
And in the memory of old "John", except for occasional memories, he didn't take this relationship seriously.
However, John does not think so, after experiencing all kinds of human relations in the 21st century, he has become more and more aware of the preciousness of small hair, if the friendship of classmates is compared to a burning stove, as long as there is firewood, it will continue to burn; That little love is an everlasting light that will never be extinguished, even if you don't care about anything, it will bring you light when you need it.
Five minutes later, a tall, thin white man strode over, the young man was about 24 years old, with short hair, freckles under his eye sockets, slender cheeks, and large eyes, and he looked very energetic.
The young man walked up to John, bowed slightly, and said with some restraint,
"Young Master, are you looking for me?"
John didn't speak, but just looked him vigorously, up and down, left and right, and looked at him seriously, until his face twitched a little, and then he spoke,
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for seven years."
"Yes, young master."
Renault answered, stopped talking, and stood there as if it were a piece of wood, not at all as oily as he had been when he was a child.
But his expression deceived others, how could he deceive John, who knew his details well, how could a bastard boy who became a father at the age of sixteen be a piece of wood,
John smiled, his face changed suddenly, and he said fiercely,
"You kid knows about it for seven years! I haven't seen you for seven years, and the first sentence of the meeting, you call me [Young Master],
Hehe! Young master, the name of many students, grandma bear,
I even brought you a gift, but I didn't expect you bastard to forget about my friend a long time ago. ”
Hearing this, Renault looked anxious and hurriedly said,
"Young master, I don't have ......"
John's eyes widened, "You still call me young master!" ”
Renault grimaced and muttered,
"John!"
"Alas! This is the good buddy who grew up together! ”
John laughed and hammered him on the shoulder, and memories of playing together as children involuntarily came back, and Renault grinned, and couldn't help but laugh along at the end.
Fa Xiao is like this, as long as you pay a little attention, you can find the memories of your childhood in an instant, because he himself represents your childhood.
John took out the pocket watch he had with him, hung it in the palm of his hand, and dangled it in front of him,
"Any idea what this is?"
"Of course, isn't it just a pocket watch, and my dad has it too." Renault said indifferently, his eyes looked out, but the corner of his eye stayed directly on the shell of the pocket watch, the delicate and tight pattern, emitting a silver light engraving, this thing was by no means an ordinary color.
"Longines 1843 White Gold Edition with a Golden Seconds Disc."
John said expressionlessly, and threw the pocket watch out casually,
"Boy, you're cheap."
Seeing that the itchy thing suddenly flew up, Renault shouted,
"Brother Childe, take it easy, this is a Longines card."
The body suddenly rose, and when the pocket watch rose to the highest place with lightning speed, he pulled it down, held it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it carefully, and the monkey looked like a fox just reaching for grapes, and couldn't stop for a moment.
"You kid give me some love, this is what Lao Tzu found after running two streets." John laughed and scolded,
"Don't worry, I promise to pass it on to my grandchildren."
Renault smiled and carefully tucked his pocket watch into his underwear pocket, but dangled the white-gold chain back and forth outside, as if he were afraid that others would not see it.
"This kid! It's still this virtue. ”
John shook his head speechlessly, turned and walked into the arsenal, walking around the tightly sealed storeroom.
At this time, Renault finally remembered what was going on, and hurriedly followed in and asked,
"Great artist, don't you hate playing with guns, how did you get here?"
"No way, I've been a little back lately, so I have to find a weapon to defend myself." John didn't hide it, he directly explained his intentions, picked up the short gun on the counter, gestured a few times in his hand, and was very dissatisfied, so he put it back.
"You're in trouble!"
Renault's expression changed slightly, as if he remembered something, ran to Lin Nuo, and said in a low voice,
"Isn't it Blake's little bastard?"
Hearing this, John raised his eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously, this guy seems to know a lot!
Renaud smiled and said, "Actually, many people in the manor know about your brother's fight for the inheritance of the manor, but most of them choose to remain silent, and I also know that the little bastard and his mother have been trying to find a way to deal with you. ”
"I'm not trying to figure it out, but I'm already starting to do it." John corrected, pointing to the bandage on his head,
"How else do you think this thing came about?"
"Didn't you fall off a horse?" Renault said in surprise,
"It was from a fallen horse."
John answered, and instead asked, "But you don't know my style, am I the kind of person who would fall off horseback?" ”
"That's right!"
Renault thought for a moment, nodded, and said matter-of-factly, "You can't ride a horse much faster than you walk, how can you fall so badly?" ”
Hearing this, John covered his forehead and was speechless for a while.
"This teasing."
……
There are a lot of guns in the warehouse, but most of them are no-go guns and front-loading smoothbore guns, most of these guns are long-roded, even the shortest ones are as long as two hands, and they can only be fired once at a time, and after each shot, it takes at least half a minute to reload, which does not meet John's actual combat requirements at all.
There were no pistols, no rifles, and John was extremely disappointed for a while looking at the pile of polished firearms.
Renault on the side seemed to see Lin Nuo's thoughts, and said with a smile, "Not satisfied?" ”
"Hmm!"
John nodded and said, "I want a weapon that I can hide on my body, not this group of long spears and cannons that can only be used on my back." ”
"What is hidden on the body, you mean [Revolver]."
"Yes, can you get it?"
"Yes, yes, and it's the latest Colt, 1851, but the trouble is that the gun already has an owner." Renault said with some hesitation,
"Who?"
"Your brother, Blake Condon."
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
