Yunding Ranch

Chapter 218
The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the shooting range. There seemed to be a lot of guests coming to the shooting range today, and about [-]% of the parking spaces had been occupied.Lu Li was used to driving SUVs in New York, and suddenly changed to a Raptor. He felt more and more different about this behemoth, so he carefully adjusted the distance between the cars and parked the car.

Before getting out of the car, you can hear the gunshot across the sky, dull and loud, and you can see the white clouds on the blue sky, dissipating and agglomerating in the air waves, and then dissipating and agglomerating again. The echo hit the distant mountain range, and then oscillated into circles of ripples.

Lu Huaijin was a little surprised and a little shocked.

He is a well-behaved teacher, he has been honest all his life, not to mention touching a gun, he has never even seen it in a display cabinet. After all, there is no such opportunity in China to come into contact with guns and gunpowder at such a close distance .

After Lu Li got out of the car, he realized that Lu Huaijin was still sitting in the driver's seat. This reminded him of the first time he came here, and he was a little surprised while being novel.

In fact, it has been a long, long time since the last target shooting. He originally planned to buy two guns for self-defense, but this is Texas; and after getting his green card, he can finally buy guns, but the ranch seems to have guns every day. He never found a chance to come over the endless things he was busy with, and he simply forgot about it.

Now, Lu Li started to get excited again, he kind of missed the feeling of aiming the scope, it was much more interesting than beer pong.Originally, the main purpose of today was to accompany Lu Huaijin, but now Lu Li thought, maybe if he has time, he can also play two rounds.

Lu Li didn't go to urge Lu Huaijin, just stood in the parking lot and waited for a while, then Lu Huaijin came down, and the two of them walked into the small room in front of them one by one.

"...You don't care about me! I have the right to do what I want! You are not my brother! To be precise, you are nothing!" There was an angry dispute in the room, and the voice was A woman with a faint nasal sound, but she didn't know whether it was crying or anger.

Lu Li and the two of them didn't have time to brake, and then stood awkwardly at the door.

Finley turned around and saw two people at once. She was also taken aback, her expression was a little embarrassed, and her footsteps paused for a while. Finally, she bypassed the two people and walked out quickly. It disappeared into the bright sunlight of the parking lot.

Lu Li opened his mouth, but before he could yell out, the words stuck in his throat. Then he turned his head and saw Justin standing behind the counter. He had an unconcealable annoyance and panic on his face, breaking the usual pattern. Introverted and calm, even a little out of control anger.

Justin slammed his glove on the counter, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and nodded to Lu Li and Lu Huaijin, "Here we are." This was considered as a greeting.

Lu Li hesitated.Americans don't like to have their privacy violated, especially in this kind of privacy situation, not to mention the fact that the other party is from Texas, Lu Li immediately found it difficult.

"Are you here to shoot the target?" Justin took the initiative to say hello, and he seemed to have regained his composure, but his clenched fists were trembling slightly because of too much force, which still revealed the turmoil in his heart. "You are still the same? Are you going to try sniping?"

Lu Li could sense that Justin didn't want to talk too much, which is not unusual, this is a typical American way of handling things.

"No, my father wants to try shooting a target today." Lu Kai replied, "Are you free? Let me introduce various guns to him. Although you have already introduced it once last time, obviously, I am still very interested in guns." I don't know."

Lu Huaijin is still a little cautious, and has been in the United States for nearly two months. Most of the time is relaxed and happy, and her life is too simple to be real.Until today, he has only come into contact with the other side of life: quarrels, conflicts, contradictions.In fact, this is the real life. It is impossible for everything to go smoothly, and bumps and bumps are inevitable.In fact, it is those setbacks and difficulties that are the whetstones that make everyone's unique shining point.

Due to lack of experience, Lu Huaijin didn't know how to deal with it.The way Chinese people resolve conflicts is of course different from that of Americans.Logically, they should avoid suspicion now and leave Justin more space.But Lu Li stayed.

Justin nodded, and said neatly, "No problem. Mr. L, do you have any special hobbies?" Justin regained his usual calmness, as if nothing had happened just now.

Lu Huaijin pondered, "I've never seen a real gun, can you give me some basic introduction?" His answer was a bit stiff and rigid, and he also brought some politeness.

After finishing speaking, Lu Huaijin saw Justin opened the cupboard and began to take a gun outside. He seized the opportunity and turned to look at Lu Li with a puzzled look.Lu Li shook his head, then smiled affirmatively, reassuring Lu Huaijin that there was nothing serious.

Lu Huaijin was dubious, turned his head again, and saw Justin's busy figure, which seemed to be the same as usual, but seemed to have become colder, and he was not sure if it was his illusion.

"How about it, you scanned it, is there anything you're particularly interested in?" Justin's words interrupted Lu Huaijin's thoughts, and when he came back to his senses, he had time to look at the wall in front of him carefully, and then his brain was completely shocked.

Not to mention Lu Huaijin, even Lu Li, who came here for the second time, still felt a huge shock. The dazzling array of guns is really overwhelming. There are too many guns of different sizes and shapes. It's no wonder that every time you watch the "007" series of movies, the scene where James Bond chooses a weapon needs to be introduced solemnly. For those weapon lovers, this is the best way to stimulate adrenaline .

"That gun is..." Lu Huaijin pointed in one direction and asked, but he wasn't sure how to say it in English, so he turned to Lu Li for confirmation, "Shotgun?"

Lu Li translated it, and then Justin nodded in affirmation, "Yes, this is a shotgun. I have single-barreled, double-barreled, and heavy-duty shotguns here. Why, do you want to try it?" , Justin took down the shotgun at the same time, "The recoil of the shotgun is slightly higher, but as long as you don't try heavy ones, there is basically no problem."

Justin placed the guns on the counter table, and began to introduce to Lu Huaijin. Every gun, Justin talked endlessly. In a blink of an eye, the embarrassment and heaviness just now completely dissipated. It can be seen that, After entering the professional field, Justin's focus and dedication are very clear.

Under Justin's guidance, Lu Huaijin tried to hold each firearm, and learned the loading action, feeling the weight of each firearm one by one with her own hands.

On the surface, guns are very light, especially pistols, but in fact, the weight in the palm of the hand is heavy, not only physical weight, but also psychological weight.

For those novice rookies, the gun in their hands means the absolute supremacy of life and death. Some people will be ecstatic, thinking that they have become God and can decide their life and death; In front of him, life is too fragile, as long as the trigger is lightly pulled, a life may be strangled.

Lu Li had no way of knowing what his father was thinking, but he himself knew that the power to control the fate of others really made people ecstatic, but the weight of responsibility was overwhelming.Maybe it's because of his education since he was a child, maybe it's because he yearns for peace and opposes war, but no matter what, Lu Li doesn't want to abuse guns.

"Is there anything you want to try in particular? Or, are you willing to try every one? I mean, for real shooting, we will go to the shooting range to practice next, and bring the guns you are interested in. "Justin lifted his chin and pointed to Lu Li's direction, "He is particularly good at sniping, and his accuracy is amazing. However, his performance in other types is average."

Lu Huaijin looked back at Lu Li, nodded meaningfully, and said, "I want to try a shotgun."

Lu Li remembered that at the cowboy convention, the shooting games they participated in were actually guns similar to shotguns. He didn't know whether his father wanted to clean up his past shame or simply liked shotguns.Reminiscent of his father's look just now, Lu Li felt a chill run down his spine. Why did he feel that his safety was threatened?
When Lu Huaijin was shooting at the cowboy meeting, Justin was not watching, so naturally he didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, so he simply nodded, "That's a shotgun. Where's the pistol? Do you want to try it?"

Lu Huaijin shook his head, "Let's start with the shotgun." That obsession made Lu Li feel his hairs start to stand up, and he couldn't help but wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, let's try a stationary target first. After getting used to the power, if you want, we can also try flying saucer shooting." Justin put away all the other guns on the counter, then pointed to the counter, "Fourteen, can you look after me?"

It was only then that Lu Li remembered that Finley had left. "But, what should we do if we have guests?" Lu Li knew nothing about guns.

"Just call me. Press the red button here, and the room inside will light up red, and I'll know." Justin gestured to the red button at the door and explained.

Lu Li nodded in affirmation, "Then, what should we do if bad guys come?"

This little joke made the corners of Justin's lips slightly raised, "Under the counter, there is a red button, you can look for it, press it, and you can call the police directly. Or, you can learn from western movies. Face them, heroes, I think you'll win the duel."
