When Zhan Zhizhan came to the school gate on a bicycle, he waited for more than ten minutes before he saw the figure of "Bai Leba" floating in the distance. "Bai Leba" greeted Zhan Zhizhan with a smile from a distance: "Hehe...... Zhan Zhizhan, you are really here, what you said still counts. I thought you would find an excuse to come. ”

"Wow! What a big deal, as for it! Zhan Zhizhan was very disdainful of this little trick of "Bai Leba".

"Zhan Zhizhan, I'm hungry for popcorn, and I don't want to eat popsicles anymore, buy me a catty. Hehe...... "Bai Leba" walked up to Zhan Zhizhan and said with a smile, his round fat buttocks twisted a few times, squeezing onto the beam of the bicycle.

In the residential area opposite the school gate, there is often an old man pushing a green iron cart with a wooden plank on it, a timed pressure cooker with a meter embedded in it, and a few bags of plump corn kernels dangling. As soon as he opened his voice and shouted, the neighboring dogs immediately followed suit, and the effect did not need to be advertised at all. Every time there is a "bang", there is a wave of white air mixed with the smell of fireworks, and then a sweet fragrance wafts in, which will cause a dog to bark.

In fact, in the early 80s, when there was a lack of material resources, there was nothing to eat, and a sumptuous dinner had to wait until the New Year's holiday. The adults also wanted to taste something new, so the big girls and the little daughters-in-law talked about their weak mouths, pulled the spoiled children, and exchanged the popcorn for the pots full of big ballast. Of course, it costs five cents per catty. The old man looked at the people who were gathering more and more, and he was very proud, and even added many exaggerated gestures to sprinkle saccharin into the pot. When Zhan Zhizhan came to the old man jumping popcorn with "Bai Leba", there were already seven or eight people lined up in front of him. There was no big ballast, so I had to spend a penny and a half per catty to buy it, and I had to give food stamps. The old man who jumped popcorn was very good at business, and he also received coarse grain stamps from the canteen of Butou University.

"Boil...... "With the shout of the popcorn old man, people covered their ears and dodged backwards." Bang" and people immediately smelled the scent of popcorn in the air. A few little boys who had been waiting impatiently couldn't wait to rush up and snatch the popcorn that had fallen on the snow. After a little boy threw a grain of popcorn into the air, he caught it with his mouth and chewed it little by little, looking very chic and comfortable. Suddenly, a little girl cried out, "Brother...... Look, what's the matter......"

Zhan Zhizhan turned around and looked, only to see a little girl of seven or eight years old, her little hand reaching into the already empty bag and groping carefully, crying to a little boy, that scene was really unforgettable. Zhan Zhizhan was moved by compassion, and when it was time for him, he grabbed a large handful of popcorn in the bag and stuffed it into the little girl's pocket with a smile. Seeing this, "Bai Leba" also grabbed a handful of popcorn, and said to the little girl with a smile: "Little sister, eat quickly......"

"Bai Leba", who had two bags of popcorn, returned to school satisfied. Although she didn't know what happened to Zhan Zhizhan, what happened to Zhan Zhizhan was really not what she cared about.

It was the wind season in the port, and the "woo" and "woo" were blowing seven or eight winds. Fortunately, the southwest wind was blowing, Zhan Zhizhan rode a bicycle, and it took more than 40 minutes to follow Dazhi Street from the west of Butou to the "Maozi Tomb" downhill in the Butou Boat Yard. Zhan Zhizhan went to the "Mao Zi Grave" to get the 54-style team that could prove that it was the "Huo Lun Hero" who committed the crime again.

Zhan Zhizhan had come to the boat yard a few days ago to help Shen Liyang, a fellow villager from the "football field", exorcise ghosts. While pedaling his bicycle, Zhan Zhizhan couldn't help but recall the scene on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Wu Youyi drove Zhan Zhizhan to the safe house in a 212 jeep.

After Wu Youyi stopped the car, Zhan Zhizhan jumped out of the car, looked at the unfamiliar environment, and asked suspiciously, "Second brother, where is this?" Is it your home? ”

"It's not! This is the junction of Daowai, Taiping and Nangang, called 'Dafangli', which is a 'safe house' left when I solved the case! Wu Youyi said, jumped out of the car, and opened a gate with iron sheets wrapped in a brick wall more than two meters high.

"Safe house?" Zhan Zhizhan was full of question marks, and watched Wu Youyi pour the 212 jeep into the compound and close the gate again. Zhan Zhizhan later learned that this safe room was actually a resting place for carrying out secret missions in case of emergency.

The courtyard of the safe house is rectangular, and a mud and straw house typical of the Northeast divides this yard into a front yard and a back yard. After Wu Youyi collected a basin of snow with a basin, he saw that Zhan Zhizhan was still standing there, and said with a smile: "Eighth brother, what's the matter, hurry up and enter the house!" ”

Zhan Zhizhan followed Wu Youyi into the house, watched him use a scrap newspaper to ignite the chopping wood in the stove, and then put the basin full of snow on the stove. The fire in the stove was blazing, and the house quickly warmed up. After the snow melted, the two brushed their teeth with snow water, washed their faces, and Wu Youyi filled a pot full of snow, returned to the house, and continued to boil water.

Zhan Zhizhan silently watched Wu Youyi busy with his work, and after the snow melted, he brought in forty or fifty frozen dumplings from outside the house like a trick. After cooking the dumplings, Wu Youyi took out a bottle of "Yuquan Daqu" from the pocket he took out of the car, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Eighth brother, eat dumplings on the first day of the new year, our brothers and sons can't be shabby, dumpling wine is good?" ”

Zhan Zhizhan smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "Second brother, it's all my fault!" This is the New Year, you should accompany your parents, sister-in-law and eldest nephew to celebrate the New Year at home......"

Wu Youyi smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of year does this profession of the second brother have?" It's okay, they're all used to it! ”

Zhan Zhizhan sighed and said with great emotion: "Alas...... It's not easy for sisters-in-law and eldest nephews. ”

After eating the dumplings, Wu Youyi pushed the basin with the frozen pear in front of Zhan Zhizhan, and said with a loving face: "Eighth brother, eat!" This is one of the major features of the port. ”

Frozen pears are made by freezing ordinary flower cover pears, autumn white pears, white pears, and sharp pears. Or frozen persimmons, frozen apples, frozen begonias, etc., are unique fruits in the winter of the port, especially the Spring Festival.

Zhan Zhizhan took a bite of the frozen pear, and it was cold to his heart. After eating the frozen pear, Zhan Zhizhan lit a cigarette, and while playing with Wu Youyi's 54-style penny, he muttered: "If only I could shoot twice!" ”

"Eighth brother really want to try?" Wu Youyi tilted his head and stared at Zhan Zhizhan, his face was very serious, it was definitely not a joke.

"Alas...... It's a pity that there is no place to ......" Zhan Zhizhan took retreat as advance, and deliberately sighed.

Wu Youyi Yan can not see through Zhan Zhizhan's little tricks. He smiled and said, "Eighth brother, if you want, come with me!" ”

There is a large open space at the back of the house, and there is a natural wall directly in front of it, which makes it an ideal bulletproof wall, an ideal place to shoot. Wu Youyi inserted the target rod with the target paper about a meter away from the front of the broken wall. Due to the very close distance, the impact point on the target surface can be clearly seen with the naked eye.

Holding the May Fourth pistol in his hand, the heavy feeling made Zhan Zhizhan very happy, like an old friend who had been separated for a long time, and he had the feeling of seeing each other late. This is because Zhan Zhizhan's predecessor was a scout with two guns in his hand and bloody enemies on the front line in southern Xinjiang. It was natural for him to feel that way. However, Zhan Zhizhan hesitated a little again, and asked Wu Youyi uneasily: "Second brother, if I release the gun, won't the neighbors hear it, what if ...... What if I cause trouble for my second brother? ”

Wu Youyi smiled: "Eighth brother, your heart is really fine. Don't you see the streets full of cannons? When people heard it, they thought that someone had put a thunderbolt. Eighth brother, don't be vain. In fact, pistol shooting is a feeling, a gun, and when you hit too much, you have a feeling. Eighth brother, your eyes connect the crosshair and the target through the gap. The first segment of the index finger of the right hand is evenly and straight backward to pull the trigger, and when the aiming point is the middle of the lower 8 rings, you press the essentials to pre-press the trigger, slow down your breathing, and decisively press the second fire ...... of the trigger"

Before Wu Youyi's words fell, there was a deafening "bang", and a puff of dust rose from behind the target. For the first time to fight the May Fourth style with real swords and guns, Zhan Zhizhan was inevitably a little excited. He was so addicted to it that he couldn't help but crack and shoot all the bullets in the gun. Wu Youyi walked over and asked strangely after coming back from checking the impact point: "Is it really the first time for Eighth Brother to shoot?" ”

Wu Youyi saw Zhan Zhizhan nodding, and then said: "You are really a genius in shooting, training and training is really amazing!" In our interior, it is not bad for the average veteran to control the spread of the bullet impact point at a distance of about five centimeters at a distance of twenty-five meters, and the eighth brother played five four for the first time, and the seven gun holes actually saved a bunch, which is really not easy! ”

Zhan Zhizhan wanted to be humble, but after thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Hehe...... Maybe I was a sharpshooter in my last life. ”

Wu Youyi smiled and said, "Hehe...... Eighth brother, don't say that you are fat and you will breathe, how about you try my gun again! ”

As he spoke, Wu Youyi took out a small and delicate pistol from the holster behind his buttocks and handed it to Zhan Zhizhan, while introducing: "The full name of this gun is the '1964-style 7.62 mm' pistol, which is mainly equipped with senior commanders in the army, and cadres at or above the department level in our public security police, judicial, security and other departments. This gun is easy to carry in concealment, making it an ideal weapon for individual self-defense. Because the bullet charge used is small, and there is not much movement when shooting, we jokingly call it a 'small smashing cannon'. ”

Zhan Zhizhan held the 64 pistol in his hand, feeling that the grip was too small, there was a feeling of unsteady, and the aiming baseline was too short, which seemed to be quite unsuitable for men. Hehe, this gun is a bit ungentlemanly! Seeing Zhan Zhizhan's expression, Wu Youyi guessed that he was a little contemptuous, and said, "This shot can kill and injure targets within fifty meters." At a distance of 25 meters, it can shoot through 2 mm thick steel plates, 7 cm thick wooden boards, 4 cm thick brick walls, and 25 cm thick soil layers. ”

Zhan Zhizhan smiled and said: "But I still like May Fourth, it's much cooler to use than June Fourth, and it feels heavy." ”

"Hey...... I said Eighth Brother, I didn't expect you to be a natural murderer! Wu Erlang muttered.

Seeing that Wu Youyi was unhappy, Zhan Zhizhan hurriedly changed the topic: "Second brother, then you can accept me as an apprentice!" ”

Wu Youyi's cold eyes stared at Zhan Zhizhan for a moment, and said, "Okay! Eighth brother, you come with me! ”
