The visitor smiled faintly and said, "I can't call you a hero. Your surname is Zhou, but I just happened to be passing by and saw danger on the road. It is the duty of a hunter in the mountains to help."
By the light of the burning tires, Yang Qide saw the other party's face clearly. He was a young man in his twenties, with sharp edges and corners, and was quite heroic.
"Your shotgun is powerful!"
"People in the mountains often have to deal with all kinds of ferocious beasts. If you don't have a strong gun, you are not a hunter, but you are hunted by the beasts and become the beast's meal."
Yang Qide took the shotgun, watched it carefully with the fire in front of him, and was full of praise.
He did not expect that a hunter in the mountains would not be holding a gun with a loaded gun in the front, but a gun with five spiral rifles.
Rifled shotguns are the most advanced shotguns and have basically the same structure as military rifles, but differ from rifles in bullets.
The barrel of a rifled gun is ordinary, but the warhead is extremely powerful. When shooting, it can rotate 3600 times per second, hit the target like lightning, pierce the prey's head, and often break it.
The effective range of a rifled gun is slightly shorter than that of a rifle, no more than four hundred meters.
But even if the shot misses or does not damage the vital part, the light of fire and the smell of gunpowder smoke when it shoots can make the prey within a hundred meters fly into the sky, become frightened and dumbfounded.
The prey was stunned and had no time to escape, giving the hunter a second chance.
A skilled hunter with a rifled gun rarely misses.
This kind of rifled gun is suitable for hunting large beasts in deep mountains and old forests, such as tigers, leopards, wild boars, etc.
Dealing with a wolf is a piece of cake.
No wonder the remaining wolves ran wildly and fled. It turned out that they were afraid that the whole army would be annihilated.
It’s true that one thing subdues another, and everything creates and restrains each other.
"What a gun. Do you want to sell this gun? How much does it cost? Just tell me?"
For Yang Qide, who joined the army and went to war at the age of sixteen, a gun is a person's second life.
He has seen all kinds of guns and used various firearms with ease, but he has rarely seen shotguns.
Seeing that Yang Qide couldn't put it down, the hunter said: "Since you love this shotgun so much, I am willing to give it to you. People who know the best know how to cherish it."
"The shotgun and the hunter are inseparable. The gun and the hunter are one. How can I win people's love? Without a gun, how can a hunter hunt? How can he survive?"
Yang Qide shook his head.
The hunter said something that Yang Qide didn't expect, "Maybe I can never hunt again."
"Why?"
"The government is now confiscating shotguns."
Of course, Yang Qide knew what he said, and he signed the order.
"It's okay. The government allows you to legally possess shotguns, you just need to apply for a hunting license. I'll do it, it's just a breeze."
At that time, the hunting and gun bans were much looser than they are now, and the corresponding Wildlife Protection Law had not yet been promulgated. The promulgation of the Wildlife Protection Law was only after 1988.
"Looking at your clothes, I already know your identity. Why don't you go back after the meeting? You have a jeep with you, so your position must be quite high, right?"
At that time, jeeps were a rarity. It would be great to have one in many counties, but many counties did not have one yet. The county magistrate had to ride a bicycle when he went to the countryside.
The regional public security department is a powerful department, so it is allotted and treated like this. In fact, it is only allocated three vehicles. This is the top level, and it can be regarded as a super luxury lineup.
Yang Qide felt there was no need to hide him, "Little brother, you have good eyesight. I am Yang Qide, the director of the Public Security Department of this region."
"The official is not a small one. Originally?"
"What was it?"
"Originally, if you liked this shotgun, I could give it to you without taking any money. Now, I don't think it's necessary anymore. I won't give it away if I don't sell it."
"Why don't you sell it, let alone give it away?"
"Because with your unique position in the entire area, what kind of refined shotgun can't be obtained?"
This is not wrong.
Indeed, with Yang Qide's status, as long as he opens his mouth, it is not a problem for him to get one or two, let alone domestic shotguns, even expensive imported shotguns.
There are hundreds of shotguns confiscated in the area for illegal hunting, and there are all kinds of them.
But his purpose was not to buy this shotgun. Instead, he offered to buy it at a high price in return for his life-saving grace.
Give money directly for fear that the other party will not accept it. Yang Qide, a simple mountain man, has learned this lesson before.
Now that he has said that he will not sell, it means that he still wants to hunt. He is worried that he cannot get a hunting license, which means he is hunting illegally and his shotgun will be confiscated.
This is so easy to handle.
Yang Qide took his words and said: "It's not big, it's not small, it's not big, it's not small. But if you want to apply for a hunting license, I can easily do it."
"You can just come to my office and I'll have someone apply for a special permit directly for you. Legal possession of a shotgun is not a problem."
"Little brother, no, brother Xiao Zhou, what is your full name?"
The young man hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head and said: "I only have a surname, but no first name."
Yang Qide couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, knowing that he was hiding something. How could there be a person in the world who only had a surname but no name? Since he didn't want to tell his name, it was hard to get to the bottom of it.
Anyway, if he wants to hunt, he must apply for a hunting license. Otherwise, if he hunts illegally, the shotgun will be confiscated and he will be criticized and educated.
The most severe cases range from criminal detention to reeducation through labor, and in particularly serious cases, even imprisonment.
As long as he comes to apply for a license, wouldn't he know his name? The hunting license must have a name, and if it has no name, it will be useless. Otherwise, wouldn't anyone be able to use it?
Yang Qide is confident that when the time comes, he will issue a special No. 1 permit to him. Not to mention this county, he will be able to travel unimpeded throughout the Hengling area.
At this time, the fire in the tire gradually became smaller and the tire was almost burned out.
The young man said to Yang Qide: "Director Yang, the wind is strong at night in the mountainous area and it is extremely cold. If no one comes to rescue, people will freeze. No, without fire, they will freeze into popsicles."
"The top priority is to notify someone to come to the rescue."
Yang Qide said: "Without a phone, we can't notify. Let's just walk along the highway from here."
"No, the night is very dark this winter, and there is no cold moon. If we stumble forward, we might as well stay where we are for safety."
"Why?"
"There is fire. Wild beasts are generally afraid of open flames, and most wild beasts will stay away. What's more?"
"Besides what?"
"What's more, there are still wolf carcasses scattered here and there. The smell of their blood permeates the air, making other beasts even more afraid to hide away."
"Tigers are also afraid of wolves."
Yang Qide let out a long sigh and said: "The tires are almost burning out. Only the car is burning?"
The young man smiled and said: "Compared with life and a jeep, what does the car mean? Besides, I don't want you to burn the car."
"What to burn? Burn dead grass and branches. It's hard to find them in this winter? It's not autumn, when everything is dying."
