Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 909: Helping the emergency but not the poor
Wang An was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously raised his eyelids to glance at the three brothers.

We have to admit that no matter how old you are, as long as you are a man, there is probably no man who is not interested in guns.

Wang An took the gun from Li Dahe, nodded with a smile and said:

"Learning to shoot is easy, but being able to shoot accurately is a little difficult. If you want to master this, you need a lot of bullets."

As he spoke, Wang An opened the barrel of his double-barreled hunting rifle and said to the three brothers:
"The double-barreled hunting thing is not much different from the hanging barrel, it's just a matter of multiple barrels."

As he spoke, Wang An began to explain and demonstrate in detail to the three brothers.

How to load bullets, how to unload bullets, how to bend the firing pin, how to hold the gun against your shoulder when firing, how to maintain it when not in use, etc. It was explained in great detail.

The three brothers listened very carefully. After Wang An demonstrated it for a while, they were able to get the hang of it.

The main thing is that guns are very easy to operate, and many people can figure them out on their own without being taught.

However, if you want to be very skilled in using a gun, or to improve your shooting skills to a certain level, it would be a very difficult task.

After teaching the three brothers, Wang An suddenly remembered that he still had a lot of bullets for the barreled gun at home.

So Wang An said to the three brothers:
"Just think about when you can come over. We still have some bullets and shells for this gun at home. I'll bring them to you when the time comes. If you run out of bullets, you can make some bullets yourself."

The reason why hanging barrel and double-barrel hunting rifles have always been popular among the people is, on the one hand, because these two guns are relatively cheap, and on the other hand, because the bullets for these two guns are relatively easy to obtain.

Recycle the used bullet casings, then buy some lead blocks, steel balls and gunpowder, and you can make your own bullets.

Unlike the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, you can only buy bullets with money, and the price of one cent per bullet is also a considerable expense.

When Li Dashan heard what Wang An said, he immediately refused and said:

"Don't bother me with bullets. You have to pay for them. We can think of a way when the time comes."

After Li Dashan finished speaking, Li Dajiang also echoed:

"Yes, brother Xiao An, we can just ask the hunters in our village to help us do something when the time comes."

Although Li Dahai didn't say anything, it was obvious that he meant the same thing.

I never expected that these three brothers were so stubborn, and they were more or less like the “honest people won’t accept food given out of pity” attitude.

Wang An couldn't help but laugh when he heard this:
"It's useless for me to keep that thing. It will become a rubbish after a long time. Besides, we all use 56 and a half, and my hanging tube has been left there for a long time without anyone taking care of it."

Any hunter who knows how to hunt will not use a hanging barrel or double-barreled hunting rifle if he has a 56 rifle.

Although the barreled and double-barreled hunting rifles are indeed more powerful than the 56-caliber rifles when using single-headed bullets, the accuracy of these two rifles will be greatly reduced when the distance is slightly far, and no one knows where the bullets fly.

Moreover, the 56 semi-automatic rifle can fire continuously as long as the trigger is pulled continuously, so the hunter's safety can be effectively guaranteed under fire suppression conditions.

Seeing the three people looking at each other in bewilderment, Wang An said again:

"It's okay. We are all not strangers. Don't be polite."

Li Dashan then said with a flushed face:

"I feel so embarrassed to have to trouble you, big brother, for everything." Wang An waved his hand and said:
"That's all fine. As I said before, we are not outsiders. Hahahaha."

In fact, the reason why Wang An was so generous was mainly because the hunting rifle bullets were really useless at home.

Moreover, of the bullets in Wang An's house, only a few were purchased and pressed by machines, and the rest were made privately. These privately made bullets were not very precise, and over time they were prone to misfires or barrel explosions, which were very dangerous.

Just when Wang An was chatting with the three brothers, Wang Li came back riding a sidecar.

Seeing how happy Wang Li and Li Xiuyu are, one can feel that their relationship is still heating up.

As soon as she got off the car, Li Xiuyu reported the good news to Li Dashan and others:
"My brother-in-law lent us a lot of food this time, 50 catties of cornmeal, 200 catties of corn kernels, and 10 catties of flour. My brother-in-law also said that we can pay them back after the autumn harvest."

Before Wang An asked Wang Li to go to Mu Xueli's house to ask for food, he really didn't consider asking Li Xiu Yu's family to pay it back.

It was mainly two or three hundred kilograms of corn, and Wang An didn't really take it seriously.

But after hearing what Li Xiu Yu said, Wang An did not refute. He thought that it was about helping them in emergencies but not helping them out of poverty. The three brothers of the Li family all had hands and feet, so there was really no need to help them too much.

Looking at the borrowed life-saving food, Li Dashan's family was very excited.

In this era of food shortage, it was okay to borrow a little from relatives, but it was really not easy to borrow so much at once.

Hearing Li Xiuyu's words, Li Dashan nodded and said:
"Well, we must remember this favor. It's saving our family's lives."

There was nothing wrong with what Li Dashan said. You have to know that the most urgent thing Li Xiuyu's family needed at this moment was food.

In addition to grain, there were also a lot of other food items on the sidecar.

It can be seen that Wang Li was willing to spend money on Li Xiu Yu. He bought a lot of canned biscuits, white sugar, brown sugar, and even several kilograms of sugar balls.

After the separation, Li Dashan and his three brothers were very happy.

I have to say, it’s good to have money. You can buy whatever you want without having to worry about having no money to spend.

As they were talking, everyone worked together to move the things on the shoulder bag into the house.

After eating a lunch without any meat, Wang An and Wang Li left Li Xiu Yu's house.

It is true that there is no meat at all. The table is full of green. There are four or five dishes, which are either stewed or boiled. The only seasonings are soybean paste and salt.

To be honest, although the green color on the table looks okay, it is really not good when you eat it.

Fortunately, Wang An and Wang Li didn’t care much about the food, so the meal went by in a daze.

After Wang An and Wang Li left, they did not go home, but went directly towards Xing'an Township. Calculating the time, Sun Nian and the others should have also left the county.

Wang An and Wang Li didn't have to wait too long after arriving at the place. The big sister who was playing the radio in the morning came over from a distance.

When he saw Wang An and the other man, Sun Nian simply rolled down the window and asked them to follow him, then he rolled up the window and asked the driver to drive away.
