Since he didn't go into the mountains, Gao Mingcheng went to work in the fields.
He was still clearing out wasteland, taking advantage of the dry winter to clear out the wasteland next to the new house. He first gathered the dry weeds together and burned them, then turned over the soil and cleared away the tree roots and large stones. come out.
The biggest problems with land reclamation are that it requires a lot of physical effort, the land is relatively infertile and requires intensive farming, and weeds tend to grow easily.
But for the people of Gaojia Village, the biggest problem in land reclamation is competing with others for space. All areas close to the village and at the foot of the back mountain have been reclaimed. Even the Niuweiling side has actually been reclaimed.
But after all, there are few people here, so there are still quite a lot of wastelands.
While Gao Mingcheng was working, someone from the village suddenly called him.
"Ming Cheng, Gao Fuqiang also got a gun and is showing it off over there in the old village. Do you want to go and have a look? They are over there in the field, testing the gun."
The person who spoke was a cousin of Gao Fuqiang. He was happy when he saw that his nephew had bought a gun, but after all, he had never fired a gun before, so he specially came to call Gao Mingcheng to take a look.
The news that Gao Mingcheng would go into the mountains to get wild game had long been spread throughout the village. Later, Gao Mingcheng brought back a blunderbuss from the county, which caused people to talk about it for a long time.
Someone once wanted to borrow Gao Mingcheng's gun, but Gao Mingcheng was afraid of something happening and refused to borrow it.
"Gao Fuqiang also bought a gun? Who is there?" Gao Mingcheng remembered something he had heard before and asked immediately.
"Just a few of his brothers, and a few people from our village, oh, and Liu Yan from Shangqiao Village, he is also there." Gao Fuqiang's cousin said, and walked to the field with Gao Mingcheng.
The fields in the village are basically concentrated together. It is winter now, and there is no one in the wide fields at first glance. It is a good place to test guns.
When they arrived, Gao Fuqiang was still bragging, and he didn't know which sentence he was talking about, and suddenly he started to compete.
Gao Fuqiang said loudly: "Liu Yan, if you dare to shoot, I will lend it to you in the future!"
Liu Yan is about thirty years old and not tall, but he has a lot of energy and courage.
He immediately said: "Whoever dares not to shoot is a coward! Give me the blunderbuss, and I will shoot!"
"Here you go!" Gao Fuqiang handed out the gun in his hand.
Liu Yan took the blunderbuss and was ready to shoot.
When Gao Mingcheng saw him from a distance, his heart skipped a beat. Now that he saw him holding a blunderbuss, he immediately shouted: "Stop! No shooting!"
His shouts alarmed Gao Fuqiang and the others, and they all looked towards Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Fuqiang didn't like Gao Mingcheng, so he confronted Gao Mingcheng and said to Liu Yan, "Go ahead!"
Liu Yan was also very courageous, and he didn't know anything. He had seen people use blunderbuss before, and he knew that as long as he pressed the trigger, he could shoot out the bullets in the barrel.
But the feeling is different when you watch someone shoot someone and when you shoot yourself.
There will be recoil when shooting. The heavier the gun, the more severe the recoil. Even if it is a compact pistol, a newcomer needs two hands to hold the gun together when shooting.
Liu Yan held the gun in both hands, but he did not put the butt of the gun on his shoulder. If he put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, part of the recoil would be relieved and he would not be injured.
In addition to this, Liu Yan also made a mistake. He raised the blunderbuss high. From this angle, once he fired, the blunderbuss would produce huge recoil, and Liu Yan, who was unprepared, could not withstand this force. If there is recoil, the gun butt will hit him directly in the eye!
In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng heard that Liu Yan from Shangqiao Village was blinded in one eye while using a gun, and the eyeball was ruptured, so he was sent directly to the provincial capital for surgery.
But now, Liu Yan's eyes are good, but he is holding a blunderbuss in his hand!
Seeing that Liu Yan refused to listen and was already making moves to pull the trigger, Gao Mingcheng was furious, rushed over in a few steps, and cursed loudly: "You are stupid! Didn't you listen to me and told you not to shoot?"
At the same time as Gao Mingcheng's curse, a gunshot rang out.
Liu Yan finally shot.
The butt of the gun hit Liu Yan's eye, but it was not particularly serious, because at the critical moment, Gao Mingcheng quickly rushed over and reached out to grab the gun.
He bore most of the recoil of the gun, so Liu Yan's eyes were saved. ,
Even so, Liu Yan squatted on the ground and screamed in pain because the gun butt hit his eye socket.
He covered his eyes tightly with his hands, but it still hurt like hell.
This incident shocked Gao Fuqiang and others.
Gao Mingcheng knew that Liu Yan's eyes should be saved, so he hummed softly and lowered his head to look at the gun in his hand.
The quality of this gun is average, but there are no obvious flaws.
So he returned the gun to Gao Fuqiang and said: "When you shoot, there will be a huge recoil. You have to press the butt of the gun with your shoulder, otherwise you are looking for death!"
"Shoot and let me see!"
His aura was so powerful that Gao Fuqiang was stunned for a moment. Under the guidance of Gao Mingcheng, he pressed his shoulder against the butt of the gun, and then fired a shot in the direction of no one.
"Bang!"
The moment the bullet was fired, a huge force hit Gao Fuqiang's shoulder, causing him to grin in pain.
It turned out that although he resisted, he did not resist it tightly, and there were still some gaps. He also underestimated the recoil of the gun, so he was still slightly injured.
The people around looked at the screaming Liu Yan and the grinning Gao Fuqiang. Through the encounter between the two of them, they also knew what the recoil was about.
The courage that was once inflated has now shrunk.
That's all, not everyone can do this shooting.
Gao Fuqiang's cousin was also frightened. Fortunately, he was cautious and called Gao Mingcheng in time. Without Gao Mingcheng, their family would have been in big trouble.
"The quality of your bird gun is average. You have to be careful when using it. Don't rush to hunt. Practice the gun first. Once you can hit the trunk of the tree five meters away, you can then hit the leaves five meters away."
"If you go into the mountains to fight, don't hit anyone." Gao Mingcheng said.
After saying this, he didn't care about these people and things anymore, and just left.
In a previous life, many people here were hit by gun butts, some in the face, and some in the chest, because of gunshots.
Only Liu Yan was the most unlucky. He was hit directly in the eye and became a one-eyed dragon.
If he hadn't thought of this incident, Gao Mingcheng might not have been willing to make the trip.
After Gao Mingcheng left, Gao Fuqiang's cousin said to Gao Fuqiang: "Don't dislike him. Mingcheng is a good person and very loyal."
Gao Fuqiang looked at Gao Mingcheng's leaving figure with a complicated face and said, "He talks about loyalty? I think he is very domineering!"
He still remembered that Gao Mingcheng came to his door and directly asked him not to deal with Zhang Chengyuan.
Although she is younger than him, she is not polite at all!
