59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

(2000 words added to the previous chapter)

After buying a new gun, the first thing to do is naturally to test it. Different guns cannot be adjusted and tested without it. Even a sharpshooter like Chen Feng cannot hit the target every time.

A group of people went home first, told the old man, and prepared to take a car out.

It just so happened that Li Jie broke free from her grandmother's restraint and followed them out.

Chen Feng drove a motorcycle, Zhang Haixing drove an off-road vehicle, and Chen Li, Li Jie, Hu Bayi, Chen Hao, and Zhou Fubo squeezed in.

"Lily, shouldn't you be following Big Brother?"

Fatty Wang was a step slower and looked speechlessly at the people in the SUV, especially Chen Li, a small person occupying the large passenger seat.

There were four people sitting in the back, so there was no space left.

"Fatty brother, it's okay for me to follow behind." Chen Li drove, touching the passenger seat and looking around, her spirits high.

She has long wanted to take Lao Li’s military vehicle!

Unfortunately, Da Guo disagrees!

Fatty Wang looked at the four people behind him.

Hu Bayi calmly pointed at Chen Feng's three-wheeled motorcycle.

Zhou Dinghai was already sitting in the truck bed with a smile on his face. Fatty Wang could have snatched the bed away from him.

When traveling in the winter, even if you wear a thick leather coat, you will feel like a ball and will be freezing after taking a few steps.

Riding a closed off-road vehicle is definitely more comfortable than riding a motorcycle!

“No loyalty!!!”

"cut!"

Several people laughed together.

You know what, it was quite warm with four children huddled together.

"Sit down and let's go!"

Chen Feng shouted.

It is cloudy today and the light snow from the past few days has stopped. He plans to take everyone to see the real frozen scenery of the north instead of cowering at home and making trouble.

I heard that in Northern Europe, parents have a tradition of letting their children wear cold-proof clothes and stay outdoors in the snow for a while.

In this way, children can be trained to fight the cold from an early age.

In addition, living in an air-conditioned room all the time is not good for physical development.

He felt that he should do the same.

It’s really not a good thing for a few children to squat at home, guarding the stove, waiting for the New Year!

A three-wheeled motorcycle led the way, followed by a military off-road vehicle. Several people left the Drum Tower and headed north.

After coming out, I deliberately slowed down.

At this moment, outside the city of Sijiu, it is truly a world of ice and snow.

In December, there were still some green leaves and weeds here.

As January began, there was constant wind and snow, and for most of the month, it was a sea of white.

Driving along the bank of Qinghe River, which will later become Qinghe Road, you can also see some farmers breaking ice in the river.

They were not like Chen Feng, planning to dig ice and hide it, but to catch fish.

The river is frozen and there is not enough oxygen in the water. The fish are like unlucky souls about to drown. As long as there is a hole forming an oxygen-rich area, they will gather there frantically and become the catch of the ice diggers.

"It's so cold, how thick is the ice outside?"

"More than one meter!" Zhou Dinghai said in the cold wind.

"Is it really that thick?" Fatty Wang said doubtfully, "The ice blocks that Big Brother brought back were only about thirty centimeters thick."

"That's different. December and January are different." Chen Feng said while wearing windproof sunglasses and a special face protection and cold-proof mask.

This is not his, it is Zhang Haixing's special tool.

When I went to Changbai Mountain in Northeast China for archaeological research, I was in the vast white mountains with no road signs or houses to guide me, so I naturally had to wear sunglasses.

This is the best tool to combat snow blindness (the ultraviolet rays on snow-capped mountains, snowfields, and the sea are strong and can easily lead to inflammation).

Fatty Wang stuck close behind him and was able to avoid the wind.

"It's so thick, why bother going out to catch fish?"

Zhou Dinghai suddenly felt that it might not be a good thing for him to grab the truck bed, because he didn’t have a big brother to block the wind!

Today's three-wheeled motorcycles are not like those of the future, and they still need to be equipped with a windshield.

Cover your face with your hands to protect it from the cold wind.

"You don't understand. In winter, if there's not enough food, even our village has to dig through the ice in the river to catch fish."

"The ice is very thick, so you can dig it while warming yourself by the fire. If you can't dig it through in an hour, try two or three hours. You'll eventually be able to dig it through."

"Once you dig it up, you'll find fish. Once you throw the net in, you'll quickly catch all kinds of fish, even the biggest ones in the sea!"

Fatty Wang opened his mouth, wanting to say that he knew.

Because when you are in the northern Xinjiang, there are also lakes there. When winter comes, the lakes formed by the melting snow of the Tianshan Mountains will be frozen, and many people can break the ice and catch fish to eat.

Not only that, there was heavy snow on the mountain, covering the grass. The gazelles and wild boars could not dig through the deep snow and thus could not eat the grass.

If they can't eat grass, they will go down the mountain to steal crops, and wolves will follow them down.

The livestock of the production brigade and the sheep of the herdsmen in Dongwozi are the wolves' biggest targets.

The militia and herdsmen from each production brigade set up ambushes at night together with the military reclamation army, cleared the animals, and then each team collected the game.

Every year, there are many wolf hunting incidents, with large ones involving hundreds of wolves and small ones including seven or eight.

He heard from his grandfather that in the late Qing Dynasty, tens of thousands of wolves came down the mountain to look for food and ran into three camps of Qing soldiers.

In order to survive, these vicious wolves fought for a whole night regardless of life and death!

In modern times, wolves don’t have to seek out people and threaten their safety. The army will take the initiative to find them and fight to protect people’s property.

This is how many soldiers got their wolfskin clothes!

But it’s different!

Xinjiang is Xinjiang, this is the Forbidden City!

"Look, there's someone warming himself by the fire over there!"

Fatty Wang stuck his head out and saw a few teenagers burning brush to keep warm on the river bank about 300 meters away.

If you dig ice in such cold weather without keeping warm, it is easy to lose too much heat and eventually suffer from hypothermia.

Chen Feng smiled and remained calm as he fished for freshwater fish such as carp, silver carp and crucian carp along the Qing River.

It is impossible to deliver fish or medicine directly!

Human nature cannot stand the test!

If you send me food today, I will ask you to send me all your property tomorrow!

If you meet an idiot who is trying to blackmail you morally, you have to hand over your entire space. That’s what a good person does!

The car stopped only when we left Qinghe and reached the mountainous area.

First, find a dead tree in the wilderness as a target, and let Chen Hao, Zhou Dinghai, and Zhou Fubo determine the trajectory of the new gun.

It’s okay, the deviation is very small within 100 meters.

"Dinghai, when you shoot, you tend to deviate to the upper left, so when you aim, aim a little to the lower right."

"Yes, a little, not too big!"

"Come on, try three more shots, and once we're sure, let's go hunting!"

“Bang—bang—bang!”

Zhou Dinghai exhaled hot air, held the rifle in both hands, and placed the butt firmly on his shoulder as Chen Feng instructed.

If you don't do this with the Type 53 rifle, you won't be able to aim accurately!

Fire a shot, pull a trigger.

The bolt action of this gun is also a pit!

There was once a soldier who was unable to pull the bolt of his rifle on the battlefield.

Frozen!

Fortunately, there is no such thing this time.

Three shots, naturally missed!

Zhou Dinghai couldn't help rubbing his shoulders. Even though the bullet had a lower charge, the recoil was still quite strong, causing the young man, who had been drinking well water for half a month, to grimace in pain.

But the joy of shooting made him hold back.

"It missed!" Fatty Wang said as he snatched Hu Bayi's military binoculars.

"Being able to hit the tree nearby and deflect it by more than two meters is already amazing!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

Those who claim to have hit the 400-meter target during military training, just listen to them!

Anyway, the cow in the sky is flying, so just let it fly for a while.

A target four hundred meters away is less than a few millimeters in size in the eye. Without a telescope or sniper scope, you can only see it if you have superb eyesight, like Hawkeye or Bullseye.

They can hit the target with a rifle at 100 meters and with a pistol at 30 meters. They are all top masters!

Zhou Dinghai only deviated by two or three meters out of seventy or eighty meters, which is really considered qualified!

"Come on, get in the car, let's go for a walk in the mountains."

A group of people got in the car again and drove along the mountain road for more than 20 minutes. After they were away from the densely populated areas, he threw dozens of pheasants ahead.

These pheasants living in their comfort zone were frozen silly when they came out.

Fortunately, the biological attributes in their genes allow them to quickly find areas with weeds and shrubs, where they can stay together for warmth.

In the northeast and northwest, many experienced hunters like to quietly search for cold-proof and warm places where these pheasants gather at night.

One catch one accurate!

In high latitudes where heat is almost equal to life, any living thing must keep warm.

"There are pheasants ahead. Everyone, walk slowly, speak softly, and crawl over little by little."

Chen Feng pretended to see it and stopped the car.

"Where is it, big brother? Can't you see it?" Fatty Wang tried hard to look over, but the white snow was mixed with bushes and trees, and there was no trace of the pheasant at all.

He drank a lot of well water, so his eyesight was far better than that of ordinary people with malnutrition.

If you take a worker from the old city, you will find that in this mountainous area with a clear distinction between black and white, it is normal for him to be blind.

Hu Bayi observed carefully with a telescope from behind and soon found the target.

"Northeast, in some bush."

Fatty Wang took a look and saw a patch of dark brown bushes.

More than three hundred meters away, he really couldn't tell the difference.

"Bayi, let me see through the telescope."

He snatched the telescope from Hu Bayi's hand.

Everyone got off the car together. After getting off, he said to the people behind him, "Dinghai, Fubo, Lili and I will go this way. You guys go to the west and surround us on both sides."

"Remember, first, don't spread out too much. Surround them at an angle, so you can be closer together. That way, your bullets will be more concentrated and your chances of hitting them will be higher. Second, walk softly and don't talk. Also, look carefully before you shoot. Don't shoot blindly. It would be bad if you accidentally hit someone."

"I know!" Several boys said excitedly in low voices.

They all had guns, only Chen Li and Li Jie had slingshots, but even so, the two little girls were very excited.

Barbecue!

Money!

"Check the time. It's 8:42 now. Let's get as close as possible, preferably within 30 meters, and then shoot together."

After arranging the time, Chen Feng and Zhang Haixing divided into two teams, one heading east and the other west, forming an inverted eight shape to surround the enemy on both sides.

Zhou Dinghai and Zhou Fubao were the most excited.

They were in the countryside and could only watch their father participate in militia training. At most, they could touch the empty rifles, but they were absolutely not allowed to use real guns.

I came here just before and followed Fatty Wang and the others up the mountain and fired a few random shots.

This time when we came here, we took turns practicing with Chen Jianguo's rifle for a while, but we were hitting dead targets.

Following the method taught by Zhang Haixing, the children followed Chen Feng and Zhang Haixing, bending over and walking gently in the snow.

In fact, the best and most professional method is the crawling method used by the military.

This can effectively reduce the probability of being discovered.

However, crawling on the snow in winter was a bit too troublesome, so we simply climbed up the hillside and surrounded it from both sides.

It's just a matter of training the little ones. When they are older, they can do it in the summer.

Only when they were one hundred meters away from the pheasant flock did they slow down, crouch lower, and shorten the distance to within thirty meters.

This is the optimal shooting distance!

It’s not easy to hit the target from a hundred meters!

The pheasant is too small!

At this time, Silly Chicken who was hiding in the bushes also saw a group of people approaching with bad eyes.

But it’s too cold outside!

The silly birds raised in the comfort zone of space rarely move. At most, they will take a look and call a few times. Seeing that no one else moves, they will simply move themselves.

Chen Feng felt that it was enough, it was too close, so there was no need to shoot.

Make a gesture to the others.

“1/2/3!”

"Bang bang..." Several guns fired at the same time. Even though Chen Li's slingshot couldn't reach that far, she still shot stones out.

"Giggle!"

Chickens flew and birds jumped, and pheasants squatted densely in the bushes to avoid the cold wind. Even if Chen Hao and his team were good at shooting, they would always be able to encounter them.

As soon as the gunshots were heard, the flock of pheasants immediately took off on alert.

It's a little late now.

At a distance of thirty meters, even though Zhou Dinghai and Zhou Fubo were two novices, they still managed to hit two of the dozens of targets gathered together.

By the time they tried to pull the bolt a third time, the remaining pheasants had already scattered and flown away.

Only Fatty Wang can continue shooting. This guy’s shooting skills are really good!

"Brother Fatty, you are so awesome!"

Seeing Fatty Wang shoot a flying pheasant more than seventy meters away with one shot, the Zhou Dinghai brothers' admiration for Fatty increased a little more.

"That's nothing! I used to hunt wolves in Xinjiang with my dad!"

"You blow it!"

Chen Hao ruthlessly exposed him, "You only came back last year. How old were you before that? You were still fighting wolves! You're obviously the same as me. You learned from the beautiful master."

Fatty Wang blushed, he was indeed bragging!

"What do you know? I've touched it before, and I even watched my dad shoot and aim. I remember everything. That's called theoretical learning!"

"Stop talking nonsense and bring the pheasant back to me!" Zhang Haixiong kicked Fatty Wang.

"Lily, Xiaojie, go catch the pheasant."

Chen Li and Li Jie missed the target, but the little girl's mouth was already raised high.

"Don't go!"

"I don't want to go either." The little girl Li Jie was also a little envious and unhappy.

"Why not go? Mine is not yours!"

Fatty Wang shot and killed several of them, and he was in high spirits, so he spoke in a sweet way.

"Then can you let us play with the gun?" Li Jie asked.

Chen Li immediately said, "Fatty Pot, what you say is yours is mine!"

"I want your gun!"

Fatty Wang wanted to slap himself in the mouth, his feet flying in the snow, and he didn't forget to say: "I'm talking about pheasants, not guns!"
