Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 111 Good Gun
Six dogs and one pig were fighting and running away, and the fight never stopped.

During the battle, Dahuang and Qinglong gradually mastered some skills and became more and more skilled.

Qinglong specializes in digging into the wild boar's crotch, whether it's the balls or the anus, he will take a bite whenever he gets the chance.

However, Qinglong is only a one-year-old dog after all. He has not grown up yet, so his bite is not that fierce.

Even so, the wild boar was still enraged by being bitten by the Azure Dragon.

Finally, the wild boar had to find a thick pine tree and sit down with its back against it.

Then he panted, shook his head, and confronted the six dogs in front of him.

As Qu Shaoyang was chasing, he suddenly heard a dog barking in one place. He was startled and realized that this was the wild boar's den.

So Qu Shaoyang ran quickly towards the direction where the dog was barking.

A good hunting dog will take the initiative to attack after hearing the hunter's footsteps.

The purpose is to distract the prey so that it will not notice the approach of the hunter.

The Zhou family's Daqing is indeed a big-headed dog. When he heard Qu Shaoyang coming, he immediately led the other dogs to rush forward, constantly harassing the wild boar in front of him.

The wild boar did not move, but shook its head left and right to drive away the dog that was pouncing on it.

As a result, the wild boar did not notice Qu Shaoyang approaching.

Qu Shaoyang found a suitable position for shooting, then blew a whistle. The dogs heard the noise and stopped attacking.

Qu Shaoyang also took the opportunity and pulled the trigger.

There was a bang of a gunshot, and the wild boar in front let out a scream, fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.

The dogs rushed forward and began to bite the wild boar frantically. Even Qinglong and Dahuang, who were going up the mountain for the first time, were no exception.

Qu Shaoyang knew that the dogs were venting their anger, so he was not in a hurry.

He waited for a while, until the dogs got tired of biting, then he stepped forward and gently pushed the dogs away with his feet.

"Go, go, all of you go to the side."

The dogs were very tired after fighting with the wild boar for half a day, so they turned their heads to the side and lay on the snow, panting heavily.

Just in time, Zhou Chuanren and a few others arrived.

When everyone got closer and took a look, they saw two bloody holes, one large and one small, behind the wild boar's shoulder blade.

Needless to say, it must have been Qu Shaoyang who shot the wild boar through.

"Great, Shao Yang, your shooting skills are really good.

Also, your gun is pretty good, what is it called? I just heard it, and it makes a different sound than the guns we use."

Zhou Chuanren had noticed long ago that Qu Shaoyang and Liu Dongshan were carrying different guns today.

He didn't have the courage to ask just now, but this time he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, this is a quick-firing gun that I asked someone to buy from a foreign company in Yingkou.

Unlike old guns, you don't have to reload gunpowder and lead bullets after each shot.

This does not require gunpowder, there is a primer at the back of the bullet." Qu Shaoyang briefly introduced it.

After hearing this, Zhou Chuanren was filled with envy, "It's you, you're amazing, you can spend so much money to buy a gun.

If it were our family, my father would definitely not agree, it’s too expensive.”

"Shaoyang, now you have this gun, but what about the musket in your family? Do you want to sell it?" At this time, Wang Musen suddenly had an idea and asked.

How could an average family keep so many guns? Since Qu Shaoyang had a new gun, maybe he could sell the old one.

The Wang family father and son don't have that much money, so it would be great if they could buy a gun at a low price.

Qu Shaoyang shook his head and said, "No, I won't sell them. I'll keep them for later use." Are you kidding? He still thinks the guns are too few. Next time he goes back to Yingkou, he will buy a few more guns.

If you really want to do business in the future, you must hire a few more gunners, otherwise, with beards rampant these days, who knows when you might run into one?
"Well, let's gut the pig. If we delay any longer, it will die."

Without waiting for Wang Musen to ask any more questions, Qu Shaoyang made room for Zhou Chuanren and the others to work while he went to take care of the dog.

It was Qu Shaoyang who killed the pig, so it was someone else's turn to disembowel it.

Zhou Chuanren didn't say anything. He immediately drew out his dagger and, together with Wang Musen and his men, turned the wild boar over, cut open its belly, and took off the lantern.

Except for the part fed to the dogs, the remaining intestines and other things were hung on a nearby tree.

At this moment, Liu Dongshan and Wang Jiaxiang arrived one after another. After all, they were old. Even though they were in good physical condition, their legs and feet could not keep up with those of young people.

Besides, they all heard the gunshot just now. There was only one shot, and then the dog stopped barking.

The wild boar must have been shot dead, so there was no need to worry.

"Nothing else matters, Shaoyang's shooting skills are really impeccable. Hey? Your gun is also a little different, can you show it to me?"

Wang Jiaxiang wanted to say it just now, but never had the chance. Now the prey had been killed. Wang Jiaxiang finally had time to look at Qu Shaoyang's gun.

"Brother Wang, just look at my gun, they are all the same." Liu Dongshan smiled and handed his gun to Wang Jiaxiang.

Wang Jiaxiang took the gun, looked at it left and right, liked it very much, and couldn't help but ask about the price.

When Wang Jiaxiang learned the price of the gun, he took a deep breath and said, "It's so expensive, oh, I can't afford it.

Alas, times have changed. Old hands like us who are used to hard work can no longer perform our duties.

Nowadays, when we see prey, we just shoot them, but back then, we would just stab them with knives.

That’s different. Without some real skills, you can’t catch the prey.” Wang Jiaxiang said sourly while watching.

When Liu Dongshan heard this, he became unhappy and reached out to take his gun.

"Brother, what you said is not right. Hunting with guns is progress.

How lethal is a gun? Can it be compared with a knife or a bow and crossbow?
Hunting is not a competition of martial arts. You don’t have to compete with others in terms of skills. As long as you can kill the prey, you can use whatever is convenient for you.”

Liu Dongshan had always looked down on Wang Jiaxiang, and he felt even more unhappy after hearing what he said. Naturally, he did not give Wang Jiaxiang any face.

"I think it's good to have a gun. With this gun in hand, I can kill not only wild boars, but also black bears and big claws.

Brother, how many black blind men have you fought before?"

When asked this, Wang Jiaxiang remained silent.

He also killed a few black bears. One year, he and a few others went to kill a black bear, Tulu, and almost didn't come back.

In fact, Wang Jiaxiang usually goes into the mountains to hunt pheasants and rabbits, and at most a roe deer.

Without the right tools, bows and crossbows have short range and poor lethality, and cannot kill large prey.

His two dogs, Dahei and Erhei, are both helper dogs. When going into the mountains to hunt, you must have a lead dog, so if you want to hunt wild boars, you must team up with others.

Last year's hunting trip with Qu Shaoyang and others was the biggest harvest in Wang Jiaxiang's hunting career.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to look for Qu Shaoyang again this year.

This guy is only good at talking. He brags all day long as if he is very capable.

In fact, if you really take it out alone, it may not be effective.

Of course, Wang Jiaxiang is old after all, so he does have some experience.

He himself doesn't think he is bad. He always feels that he is just unlucky and didn't catch up with good times.
