Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 48 Air Guns
Sheng Xiping took his two younger brothers to dig gastrodia elata four or five times, and this season's gastrodia elata came to an end.

Then we have to wait until the beginning of autumn and the beginning of spring next year to dig out germination.

But germination is a matter of luck. If you meet it, it may be a piece of cake, and if you don't meet it, you may not open your eyes for a day.

In the middle and late July, the second crop of young forest tending began.

Sheng Xiping was going to take the members of the educated youth team to work in the place where the saplings had been shoveled before.

A few days ago, Zhou Qinglan asked Lao Hu for a leave of absence, went back to Songjianghe to visit her parents, and stayed at home for a few days.

Except for Zhou Qinglan, many other educated youths from Songjianghe also asked for leave to go back.

Lao Hu is a good person, and he has never been difficult for these educated youths.

They are all young people in their twenties, they have been away from home for several months, can they miss their parents?

With a few days of vacation, Lao Hu wouldn't offend so many people.

After Zhou Qinglan came back from Songjianghe, she brought a scarf to Zhang Shuzhen, and delicious snacks and candies to sisters Sheng Yunfei and Sheng Xitai.

In the evening, Zhang Shuzhen stayed with Zhou Qinglan for a meal at Sheng's house, and the whole family was very happy and lively.

Sun Yunpeng and Du Jiabin also returned to Songjianghe.

Before, they threatened to go back and get two guns, and then they would also go hunting in the mountains.

Not to mention, these people are really a bit sophisticated, they have a double-barreled shotgun and another air gun.

The recoil of the double-barreled shotgun was quite strong, and Sun Yunpeng and the others couldn't understand it for a while, so they didn't dare to take it out.

But the air gun, Du Jiabin, Sun Yunpeng and others took turns playing with it, shooting a bird or something.

These people's marksmanship is so ordinary that sometimes they can't even hit a sparrow.

They got excited too, so they held the air gun to compare all day long, even when they went to work in the mountains, Du Jiabin also carried the gun.

From getting off the train to working in the forest shift, we have to go through a large forest.

Now Du Jiabin and the others were caught, no matter when they went in in the morning or when they came out in the evening, they would shoot into the forest with their guns in their hands, and the birds in the forest were frightened and flew around.

Occasionally, you can also shoot a tit, a pine duck, or a small squirrel.

As long as there is something to be gained, Du Jiabin and the others will show off to Sheng Xiping and others how beautiful they are.

Sheng Xiping never paid any attention to this.

Especially the marksmanship of that group of people, in Sheng Xiping's eyes, it stinks so badly.

If you can hit things, it's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, so what's the point of showing off?
Sheng Xiping is not envious, it does not mean that others are not envious either
After being disturbed by Sun Yunpeng and others, Gao Haining and Wang Jianshe all wanted to play with guns.

In fact, when they were studying, they all made firecrackers by themselves.

I don't know who found the pattern of the bastard's box, spread it on the wooden board, carved it into the shape of the bastard's box, and then drilled and drilled a series of operations.

After that, install and fix the thin steel pipes, spring-loaded firing pins, triggers, etc. on it, and a simple firecracker is ready.

If you want to be more realistic, you can also get some black paint and paint it to make it look like the real thing.

The firecracker is loaded with gunpowder and iron sand from the front, and a paper cannon is installed at the back, which can be fired with a single stroke of fire.

At that time, having a firecracker was a great thing among classmates.

I don't know how many boys are wandering around, eagerly watching and wanting to try it out.

Actually, this stuff is dangerous.

There is a student of Shuguang who is free to play with firecrackers and shoot birds.

As a result, a bird didn't catch it, accidentally went off while loading the gunpowder, and broke one of its own eggs, and went to Songjianghe Hospital to remove it.

Also because of this incident, various forest farms held meetings, and the parents confiscated any firecrackers that children in the family had.

At that time, Sheng Xiping had already been hunting with Liu Changde. Who cares about a fake one if he can hold a real gun?
It was Gao Haining and the others whose firecrackers were finally thrown into the stove by their parents and burned.

A firecracker is just a gadget, how can it compare with a gun?

Even if you don't have a proper shotgun, wouldn't it be nice to have an air gun and shoot a bird or a squirrel?

"Xi Ping, do you know where they can get that stuff in their hands? I want to play with one too."

While working, Wang Jianshe came over and asked Sheng Xiping.

"Why do you want that thing? You may not be able to kill a bird, most of them are just knocked out."

In Sheng Xiping's eyes, the air gun was just a fire stick, useless.

Sheng Xiping dared to say that his slingshot was better than the air gun.

"Isn't that greedy? Shotguns are not easy to play with, and the whole air gun is fine to play with." Wang Jianshe scratched his head and laughed.

In fact, there are quite a few shotguns, and many people in the big alkali field next door have guns.

There are single-barreled hunting, double-barreled hunting, five-and-six-half, and even old-fashioned old-fashioned cannons and water lianzhu.

But they are all passed down from their own families, and they have to be kept for hunting, so they won't be sold out easily.

For another example, the security department of the forest farm and the militia platoon of the large alkali field all have guns.

But that belongs to the public, not to individuals.Not a person with a particularly strong relationship, so I can't get it out.

At this time, some stores also sell shotguns for takeaway.

But it needs to be registered with the relevant department, and the price is not low, and most people can't afford it.

Sheng Xiping has a No. 16 hanging pipe, which was given to him by Liu Changde, and it is hung on the wall of the Westinghouse.

Sheng Xiping cherished it very much, and took it down to wipe and maintain it every now and then.

"You're free, you're being taken advantage of, spending money on that thing?" Sheng Xiping rolled his eyes.

This man, from eighty to eight years old, seems to have a soft spot for guns.

"Hurry up and get to work, don't think about what you have and what you don't have, be careful that my uncle and my aunt will scold you to death if they find out."

Even though it is an air gun, the price is not low. In the eyes of the older generation, it is purely for a fight.

Wang Jianshe just got greedy, looking for someone to satisfy his appetite.

His family's conditions are not good, the older brother has not married a wife yet, and there are several younger brothers and sisters behind.

His father and his brother are ordinary workers, and their wages are not that high. The family life is quite tight.

If he really asked him to spend money to buy an air gun, he was willing to do so, even his parents and elder brother couldn't let him.

In this way, everyone went back to shovel the saplings honestly, and no one mentioned the air gun.

On the way back from work in the evening, Sun Yunpeng and others didn't walk well, but went into the woods to make trouble, aiming at the trees from time to time.

Several tree chickens were startled, flapping their wings and flying in all directions.

Sun Yunpeng was holding a gun, so he raised the gun and aimed at the flying tree chicken, and fired directly.

It's a pity that they didn't catch at all, and the tree chicken flew away right under their noses.

"Grandma Zhente's bad luck, she didn't hit it again."

Seeing the tree chicken flying away, Sun Yunpeng couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

Sheng Xiping and the others were watching not far away. Seeing this, Sheng Xiping greeted Wang Jianshe and the others, and then turned towards Sun Yunpeng and the others.

"I just said that thing is useless?"

When Gao Haining, Wang Jianshe and the others heard this, they burst out laughing.

"The key is that people are not good enough, even the best guns are useless." Wang Jianshe said with a smile.
