Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 1068: This is how a man should be

It's approaching noon.

Luo Xiaojun is back.

He brought a cart full of animals, including chickens, rabbits, etc.

"Uncle Master."

Just as Luo Xiaojun was about to speak, Yang Jun raised his hand to stop him.

"You go and prepare first, and then start after eating."

"Hey, okay."

Luo Xiaojun frowned and said, "Are you really planning to do this?"

After all, shooting a live target is a bit cruel to children, for fear of leaving them with memories that will last a lifetime.

"Why, are you soft-hearted?"

Yang Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "This is not your style, Luo Xiaojun."

Luo Xiaojun smiled and said: "Uncle Master, I very much agree with this move, but Auntie Master..."

"How can a man be imprisoned by a woman?" Yang Jun rolled his eyes and asked.

"Okay, as long as you're not afraid." Luo Xiaojun shrugged.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get ready." Yang Jun waved his hand.

"Yes, uncle."

Afterwards, Yang Jun went to have lunch.

Lunch was very sumptuous, with fish and meat, meat and vegetables, and thirst-quenching mung bean porridge.

"Brother, did you hit the target?"

"Haha, what's that? You should ask me how many rings I've had."

"How many rings have you done?"

"Don't tell you."

During lunch, a group of brats got together to brag and spank.

They were frothing at the mouth as they recounted the morning's target practice.

Everyone has a wonderful expression on their face, and they look like they are the best gunslingers.

"I'm telling you, and I'm not bragging to you, this is what I do when it comes to target shooting."

Sun Xiaoguo put one leg on the table, patted his chest and boasted.

"Come on, you only hit the target once with one shot all morning, what's the point?"

The speaker was Yang Anbang's son Yang Qun, who was also the eldest among the group of children.

Sun Xiaoguo, like his father Sun Zhaocai, is a tall and powerful person, and his combat ability is at the top of the charts among his peers.

Usually when he talks, others don't dare to interrupt. The main reason is that this guy is stunned and will do something before he can even talk, so everyone is afraid of him.

In other words, Yang Qun was not afraid of him because of his age and height.

"Nonsense, I clearly hit the target twice." Sun Xiaoguo said with a smile on his face.

"Haha, you still have the nerve to say that. You have fired fifty rounds all morning, and only two of them hit the target. You are so embarrassed to say that." Yang Qun retorted.

"I admit it's not much, but it's definitely better than you."

"Sorry, I hit the target five times."

Yang Qun looked proud.

Seeing these two guys blushing, everyone quickly pulled them away.

Afterwards, everyone ate their own food, and no one was convinced.

After a meal.

Yang Jun asked Luo Xiaojun to gather the people.

As for the younger children, Yang Jun didn't let them come.

When we arrived at the shooting range, the group of children had already been waiting there.

"Grandpa Yang, please make it more difficult, otherwise I will be very lonely."

Sun Xiaoguo said.

When Yang Jun heard this, he smiled.

"Okay, as you wish, I'll give you a little more difficulty today."

After speaking, Yang Jun waved to the people in the distance.

Upon seeing this, the guard quickly changed the target and replaced it with a group of animals.

There are goats, roosters, ducks...

The animals were fastened to posts and kept flopping around.

"See, that's the difficulty."

Yang Jun pointed to the live target in the distance with a smile.

When all the children saw this, they immediately stopped talking.

There is a huge difference between a dead target and a living target.

Let them shoot dead targets, but live targets...

They couldn't get over the hurdle in their hearts, and the blood was stained...

"Grandpa Yang, I like this, quack!"

When Sun Xiaoguo saw this, he was not afraid but laughed.

He was clamoring to hit the target.

"Haha, I hope you don't wet your pants." Yang Jun said.

After speaking, Yang Jun glanced at the children and waved.

"start."

When Luo Xiaojun heard this, he waved to the guard.

When the guards saw this, they immediately came behind each child with their spears.

"Keep your eyes on the prey, three points and one line."

Some children were scared, but under the scolding of the guards, they had to pick up their spears.

"Control your breathing rhythm and hit when you aim."

However, even after giving the command for a long time, the gun still did not fire.

The children were afraid.

This is a living target.

If there were people tied to that pillar...

They shook their heads, not daring to imagine.

"You didn't want to take on the difficulty, why are you so timid again?"

Yang Jun shouted: "I'll count to three. If you don't shoot, I'll make him walk around without food."

After saying that, he shouted directly: "One!"

As the words fell, the children trembled with fear.

Even Sun Xiaoguo, who has always been bold and courageous, started to become timid.

"two!"

Yang Jun didn't look at them at all and continued shouting.

As the sound fell, they had to raise their guns.

Yang Jun glanced at everyone, and then said coldly: "Three."

"boom!"

A gunshot broke the silence of the camp.

There was only one gunshot.

In other words, only one person fired, and the rest did not.

Yang Jun followed the sound and found that the shooter turned out to be his son Yang Chengdao.

He walked over slowly with his hands behind his back.

He looked at the goat in the distance.

The goat was grazing with his head down, as if what was happening in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"What's going on?" Yang Jun shouted in a deep voice.

When Yang Chengdao heard this, he trembled all over.

"Dad, I...I..."

"Okay, follow my orders."

Yang Jun didn't allow him to speak and said in a deep voice: "Load the bullets."

"aim."

"put!"

With a gunshot, Yang Chengdao missed the target again.

Yang Jun's face turned pale when he saw this.

"Follow my orders."

"Loaded."

"aim……"

"put!"

The gunfire rang out again, and Yang Chengdao missed the target again.

With his shooting skills, it was impossible to miss the target.

Just imagine, if you can hit a target accurately, let alone a goat which is much bigger than the target.

For no other reason than he was afraid.

After all, this was a living creature. He was so flustered that he missed the target three times.

"what happened?"

Yang Jun snatched his gun and handed it to the guard next to him.

"Dad, I'm... afraid, that's a living life." Yang Chengdao trembled.

"life?"

Yang Jun sneered: "If you can't pass this hurdle in your heart, you won't be able to make a living in this life."

It is true that a person's status determines his height. However, the criterion for measuring a mature man is not only his status and experience, but mainly his mental state.

If you can't get over this hurdle in your heart, how can you see through it?
It wasn't that Yang Jun asked his son to ignore life, but that he had to do so.

There is no difference between humans and animals, they must all be tested according to the rule of survival of the fittest.

To put it bluntly, humans are also animals, they are just at the top of the food chain.

If you can't even understand this, how can you understand it?
Are you a good person if you don’t kill?

None of the chicken, duck, fish, etc. that you usually eat is alive.

It's just that you're not killing with your own hands.

"That's not life, it's your prey."

Yang Jun roared: "I order you to destroy your prey."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and took a dagger from the guard.

Then, he stuffed it into Yang Chengdao's hand.

If you don't want to use a gun, then use a knife.

It's nice to feel the heat up close.

Only through true baptism can one become a man.

Yang Chengdao was so frightened that he could hardly hold the dagger in his hand.

The other children were also frightened when they saw this.

They all stood there and looked at Yang Chengdao.

"Go and destroy your prey." Yang Jun roared again.

At this time, Yang Chengdao's face turned blue from holding back.

He stared hard at the goat in front of him, his eyes full of anger.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally couldn't bear the oppressive atmosphere.

"what!"

He suddenly roared and rushed towards the goat with his dagger raised.

"Pfft... pfft..."

"..."

Everyone looked at Yang Chengdao who was almost crazy, with a sad expression on everyone's face.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Yang Jun's face.

In the end, his son did not disappoint him and took that step.

If you don't experience that warm scene personally, you can't truly grow.

"Ah...ah..."

Yang Chengdao seemed to be going crazy and kept waving the dagger in his hand.

Once, twice...

After an unknown amount of time, the scene finally stopped.

Yang Chengdao stood there blankly as if he had lost his soul.

Yang Jun saw this and waved his hand.

Immediately a police officer walked over.

He grabbed the dagger from Yang Chengdao's hand and pulled him over.

Seeing his son's mouth trembling and his eyes dull, Yang Jun felt distressed.

However, for the sake of his son's growth, he had to be ruthless.

"Can you still bear it?"

When Yang Chengdao heard this, he looked at Yang Jun with blank eyes and nodded subconsciously.

"I... can bear it."

When Yang Jun heard this, he smiled softly.

"Take him down and take a shower."

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately pulled Yang Chengdao away.

After Yang Chengdao left, Yang Jun turned back and looked at the children.

"Have you ever wanted to try what Chengdao did?"

Hearing this, all the children shook their heads.

"Do not want to."

"Why don't you raise your gun if you don't want to?" Yang Jun shouted.

When the children heard this, they raised their guns one after another.

"Load the bullet, aim, and fire."

"Clap clap clap!"

Following a burst of messy gunfire, a puff of white smoke curled up, and the mountainous area suddenly returned to tranquility.

Without exception, everyone missed the target.

Under such high pressure, it is surprising that they can hit the target.

"Keep practicing."

Yang Jun roared.

Then, the kids continued practicing.

Afterwards, Yang Jun handed the situation over to Luo Xiaojun and left.

When he returned to the camp, he saw a group of women surrounding Yang Chengdao asking for help.

As soon as Yang Jun arrived, he heard a snort.

Looking back, all the women were staring at him.

Especially Yi Qiushui's eyes wanted to eat him.

When Yang Jun saw this, he smiled and said, "Are you all here?"

"Humph!"

Without exception, Yang Jun received another wave of eyeballs.

Yang Jun sighed when he saw this.

He waved his hand and said to those people: "Let's all disperse."

Although everyone was dissatisfied with Yang Jun's behavior, they did not dare to contradict him face to face.

Seeing Yang Jun's unhappy expression, everyone immediately dispersed.

Only Yi Qiushui was still sitting there, constantly comforting Yang Chengdao.

Yang Jun sighed, lit a cigarette, and sat on a small stool nearby.

"Are you blaming me for being too cruel and not letting my son do this?"

Hearing this, Yi Qiushui burst into tears instantly.

"What do you think? For such a young child, aren't you afraid of his psychological trauma and leaving a shadow?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "This level must be passed. I endured much greater pressure than this on the battlefield. Didn't I bear it alone?"

"The past was before, and now is now. Life is much better now. There is no need for your child to go through what you have experienced again." Yi Qiushui said.

When Yang Jun heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After he finished, he said: "Actually, you know very well that your son must pass this test, but you just don't want to admit it."

"I can't hand over such a huge family fortune to a person with poor psychological quality, right?"

"Hey, there are dozens of people in this family, and everyone's hopes are on him. If he, the heir, cannot shoulder this responsibility, someone will die."

Seeing that Yi Qiushui was silent, Yang Jun continued: "You understand the truth, just complain. I hope you won't interfere with my education of my son."

Hearing this, Yi Qiushui couldn't help but shed tears again.

"I understand...it's just...wow!"

"The child is too young. I thought about it in two years..."

Yang Jun: "He is not young anymore. He is already fifteen years old. If he had left it alone, he would have established a household long ago."

"Woo!"

Yi Qiushui said nothing, but looked at Yang Chengdao distressedly.

When Yang Jun saw this, he kept smiling bitterly.

It is certain that women are not born to achieve great things. In addition to physical limitations, they are too soft-hearted.

Children educated by a group of mothers often have no future, just like Yang Qingxiang, Yang Chengcai was educated like a sheep by her.

Yang Jun didn't want Yang Chengdao to become like him, so he had to be cruel.

Yang Jun patted Yi Qiushui on the shoulder, and then looked at Yang Chengdao.

After such a long time, Yang Chengdao's mental condition is much better now than before, but there is still a look of horror on his face.

Yang Jun could imagine how much courage he mustered just now.

He can understand this feeling, because what he experienced on the battlefield was much crueler than this.

For the Yang family's century-old plan, he could only do this.

"Son, how do you feel now?"

When Yang Chengdao heard this, he forced a smile and looked indifferent.

"Dad, it feels good."

"Ever since I was a child, I have never been as happy as I am today. That feeling... is so great."

Yang Jun was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "As long as you feel comfortable."

He was not a fool, so he could naturally see that his son said that on purpose.

It's not that he loves face, but that he doesn't want to disappoint Yang Jun.

"Dad, I want to do it again."

When Yang Jun heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Seeing his son pretending to be calm while his whole body was still trembling, he immediately knew why he did what he did.

"Okay, no problem."

Yang Jun stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said: "A man, you should be like this."

Yang Chengdao smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, I won't let you down."

"Well, good son."
