A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

(Militia Equipment)

After the autumn harvest, Lu Cheng had more free time. In addition to reviewing math, physics and chemistry every day and treating patients, Lu Cheng used the money from medical treatment to buy more medicines and add infusion equipment.

After a period of expansion, Lu Cheng, the barefoot doctor, has transformed his clinic into a private one and can treat more diseases.

Naturally, more people came from the surrounding villages to see the doctor.

I used to only earn 3 or 5 cents a day, but now I can earn one or two yuan.

There was a constant stream of patients coming to his home, so Lu Cheng specially converted a room into a clinic, built a shed in the yard, bought a few recliners, and made a few racks to facilitate infusions for patients.

Seeing that Lu Cheng was getting busier and busier, Xiulian always wanted to help Lu Cheng share the burden.

Xiulian, who originally didn't like studying, also began to learn some nursing knowledge. She was able to recognize all the medicines at home, dispense medicines for patients according to the prescriptions written by Lu Cheng, and also learned to give injections to patients.

Some female patients were embarrassed to let a grown man like Lu Cheng give them injections, so when they encountered diseases that required injections, they went to the commune.

Ever since Xiulian learned how to give injections, there have been more female patients.

Although Xiulian did not like to learn cultural knowledge since she was a child, she was not stupid and had strong hands-on ability. In addition, she was quite careful, so she learned the nursing knowledge very quickly.

With Xiulian's cooperation, Lu Cheng felt less worried.

On this day, Lu Cheng was busy for most of the day and finally had some free time. He strolled around the village and happened to meet Jin Qiang from the second team, who was carrying a gun and going to training with several militiamen.

Lu Cheng had never had time to participate in militia training before. He was usually busy during militia training. This time he happened to catch up, which was an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng immediately took out two boxes of Qianjin brand cigarettes at 20 cents a box from the storage space and put them in his pocket.

Then he took out a pack, opened it, walked up to Jin Qiang and the others, took out a cigarette and gave each of them a cigarette: "Jin Qiang, are you taking the militia to the training this time?"

"Of course, we have to conduct live-fire shooting training every once in a while to maintain our combat effectiveness."

"Then can I also participate in your militia training? I have rarely touched a gun before, so I just want to shoot a few shots for fun."

"No problem. You treated my dad for nothing and cured my old back pain. What's the big deal about playing with a gun? How about this? I won't shoot my bullets today. Anyway, I shoot often and my shooting skills are the best in Shuangshui Village. I'll give you the quota this time."

Jin Qiang then looked at the other militiamen and said, "You guys all train regularly, but your marksmanship hasn't improved much. It doesn't matter if you fire one more or one less bullet. How about everyone give us two bullets today so that Lu Cheng can have a good time?"

"Row."

"no problem."

"I'm so sorry. I'll give you these two boxes of cigarettes. I don't smoke, so it would be a waste to keep them with me."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng gave both boxes of cigarettes to Jin Qiang, who did not refuse: "Then we will not be polite. Guys, these cigarettes are 21 cents each, and we usually don't want to smoke them, so today I will give you a few each."

In this case, those people would naturally be happy to let Lu Cheng fire a few more shots.

After arriving at the open shooting range outside Shuangshui Village, Jin Qiang gave Lu Cheng detailed instructions on shooting techniques and some precautions.

Lu Cheng also studied very seriously, memorizing all the essentials in his mind and strictly following the instructions. He half-crouched on the ground, holding the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle steadily in his hand, aimed at the straw sticking up in the distance, and pulled the trigger.

(Militia shooting training)

With a crisp "bang" sound, Lu Cheng only felt his shoulder shake, and the first shot flew out and missed the target at all.

Jin Qiang laughed and comforted Lu Cheng, "Don't worry. You don't usually touch a gun, so you can't control the recoil. Fire two more shots to get familiar with the force. Also, don't be nervous, relax a little, and adjust your posture as well."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng followed Jin Qiang's instructions, readjusted his movements, tried to relax, and fired two more shots.

Two shots were heard, "Bang, bang", and the flying shells fell to the ground. There was still no movement from the straw target a hundred meters away, but this time at least one could see that the bullet hit the slope behind the straw target and did not fly too far like before.

Jin Qiang gave him some encouragement, "Not bad, not bad. At least it looks good. I just loaded five bullets for you. Shoot two more. Pay attention to the straight line between the three points. Keep your arms steady and relaxed. Also, keep your shoulder against the butt of the gun, otherwise you will get hurt easily..."

"Bang bang" after two more shots, one of the shots finally hit the target.

Lu Cheng was delighted. Although the target was only a hundred meters away, it was still a big improvement.

During each militia training, each militiaman has a quota of 5 bullets.

After Jin Qiang had used up his five bullets, the remaining militiamen each gave Lu Cheng two bullets to try.

After firing more than a dozen bullets, Lu Cheng had some feeling and became familiar with the recoil of the gun.

Afterwards, other militiamen continued their training, while Lu Cheng asked Jin Qiang how to disassemble and assemble firearms.

Although Jin Qiang had never been a soldier, he had learned a lot from the militia company commander in the commune, otherwise he would not have become the militia captain of Shuangshui Village.

Seeing that Lu Cheng, a knowledgeable doctor, asked him questions, Jin Qiang was naturally happy to be his teacher. He felt very proud and taught Lu Cheng everything he knew.

After several disassembly and assembly operations, Lu Cheng became familiar with the general structure of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and learned some basic knowledge about gun maintenance.

After shooting training, there is also bomb throwing training.

However, the grenades are just training grenades and will not explode.

Lu Cheng also learned it and tried several times before he finally reached the passing line and threw the grenade 30 meters away.

When I was watching TV before, Li Yunlong once said that even a woman could throw a grenade 30 meters away.

In fact, many young people who are over 185cm tall and strong may not be able to throw a grenade more than 30 meters away.

Throwing a grenade far requires not only strength but also skill and timing. It requires pushing off the ground, twisting the waist, moving the hips, and swinging the arms, all in one go. It sounds easy, but it is not that easy to do.

Seeing that Lu Cheng was so interested in these things, Jin Qiang said, "Lu Cheng, if you want to use a gun well, it will take more than one or two training sessions. If you are really interested, we will call you next time we train."

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

"We are from the same village, why are you being so polite to me?"

They returned home chatting and laughing, and Lu Cheng even picked up a few bullet shells to play with.

Gun control is not so strict these days. Every village has a militia and its own guns.

Every three militiamen are equipped with a gun, and the one with the best shooting skills is the first gunner, who can also take the gun directly back home.

As for the leaders in the commune, they have even more freedom.

Just like Director Xu Zhigong in the commune, when he had nothing to do, he liked to carry a gun and go to the mountains to hunt pheasants and rabbits.

Xiulian saw Lu Cheng coming back from outside happily and thought he had encountered something good: "Why are you so happy today?"

"I just participated in some militia training and fired a few shots. Look, I even picked up a few bullet shells."

"I thought it was some kind of treasure. It's just a few bullet shells. I've touched guns before and almost became a female militia member."

"Yes, yes, our Xiulian is the best. What delicious food did you make today?"

"I made you your favorite scallion egg pancake, and pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew. Come, wash your hands before eating. It smells like gunpowder."
