Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Linjia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The mountain that Lin Ze entered today with Liu Ying and Wang Erni was the shortest East Mountain.

Dongshan is the shortest mountain, and leaving Dongshan is like leaving the village.

Behind the two mountains in the southwest are endless mountains. Villagers generally do not go deep into these two mountains.

There is basically no danger on the outskirts of Shandong Mountain and it is difficult to encounter large wild animals.

But it is very dangerous in the deep part of Nanshan Mountain. People have encountered brown bears, cheetahs, and other ferocious creatures.

Even an old hunter like Lin Changgui can make mistakes sometimes. That is why Lin Changgui asked Lin Ze to practice shooting tomorrow.

At night, Lin Ze was lying in the west room of his grandparents' house, too excited to sleep.

He had no chance to enter the space during the day, and only at night did he have the opportunity to see the black soil in his space.

[Watermelon is 50% ripe, sorghum is 50% ripe, should it be ripened prematurely? 】

Lin Ze said without hesitation, "Ripe it."

[Congratulations to the host for using ten kilograms of organic fertilizer to successfully ripen the fruit, harvesting 3 watermelons and 100 kilograms of sorghum]

Lin Ze was happy. Just as he thought, the function of organic fertilizer was to ripen the fruits.

[Black soil x2 detected, whether to sow. 】

Lin Ze looked at the seeds in the warehouse, "Rice seeds, wheat seeds, sorghum seeds, corn seeds, sweet potato seeds, potato seeds, watermelon seeds..."

"There's no need to grow watermelons and sorghum anymore. Watermelons are hard to take out, and sorghum is really unpalatable."

"Sowing sweet potatoes and potatoes."

[The seeds are sown successfully and the ripening time is 12 hours. Should they be ripened in advance? 】

Lin Ze knew what organic fertilizer was and said no in his heart. He didn’t want to use his own organic fertilizer to irrigate crops.

A good night's sleep will brighten the next day.

Lin Changgui took out his homemade hunting rifle early and stroked the gun body lovingly. Because his eldest grandson asked to use it, Lin Changgui even re-oiled it.

"Master, this gun looks really new. Does it need to be stuffed with steel balls and gunpowder?"

"Is it new? I have always taken good care of this gun. I haven't used it for a long time, so it may be a little troublesome to use." Lin Changgui took out a can of steel balls and a can of gunpowder from the drawer.

"Did you learn about steel balls and gunpowder from a textbook?"

Lin Ze didn't want the old man to find out that he had changed his core, so he nodded and said, "That's right."

Lin Changgui explained to Lin Ze the key points of loading gunpowder and steel balls, and then took him outside the yard.

"Do you see that tree?" Lin Changgui pointed to a locust tree in the distance that was as thick as a calf. "Just try shooting at that tree." Lin Ze took the shotgun, loaded it with gunpowder and steel balls as his grandfather taught him, then aimed at the locust tree and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the locust tree fell down. "Good boy!" Lin Changgui's eyes flashed with surprise, "I haven't even taught you yet, but your shooting talent is much better than mine back then."

Lin Ze chuckled twice, but he was a little confused in his heart. The power of this gun seemed to be a little too great.

But he didn't show it, instead he pretended to be very excited and asked, "Grandpa, when are we going hunting?"

"We can go now." Lin Changgui carried his hunting rifle and walked towards the lake with Lin Ze.

Seeing that he understood everything, Lin Changgui nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the lake at the west end of the village. I'll teach you how to hunt with this kind of homemade gun."

Ten minutes later, the grandfather and grandson arrived at the lake at the west end of the village.

Lin Changgui taught very seriously. He started with the basic principles of firearms and elaborated on the structure of firearms, types of ammunition, shooting techniques and other aspects.

He explains these complex concepts in a clear and understandable way, allowing learners to quickly grasp the key points.

Whether it is for firearms novices or people with certain experience, this teaching method can help them better understand and use firearms.

Although Lin Ze understood these, but seeing that the old man wanted to teach him, he just listened and treated it as a review.

After Lin Changgui finished explaining all the precautions, Lin Ze spoke:

"Master, I've seen this kind of gun in textbooks. I know everything I need to know. How about you let me try it first? You can see if I'm using it correctly, and then give me some pointers?"

Lin Changgui originally wanted to demonstrate it to Lin Ze, but the boy said he could do it.

"Okay, then, load the bullets first and let me see."

Lin Changgui directly handed the gun to Lin Ze, wanting to see if this guy really knew how to do it.

Lin Ze took the gun, skillfully loaded it with gunpowder and steel balls, then raised the gun and aimed at a duck on the lake.

Lin Changgui looked at Lin Ze's actions in surprise, thinking that this kid really has a hidden talent.

Lin Ze pulled the trigger, and with a "bang", the duck fell down.

"Good shooting skills!" Lin Changgui exclaimed.

Lin Ze smiled and felt very satisfied.

"Yes, you used it correctly." Lin Changgui nodded, "But you still have to pay attention to safety, after all, this is a gun."

"I understand, Master." Lin Ze said, "Then let's try a few more?"

"Okay, let's shoot those geese." Lin Changgui pointed to a group of geese diagonally across the lake.

Lin Ze raised his gun and aimed again, firing several shots in succession. The three geese were shot and fell into the lake.

"Haha, Xiaoze, you're awesome!" Lin Changgui patted Lin Ze's shoulder happily.

Lin Ze was secretly delighted. It seemed that he had a good understanding of firearms. Even this old-fashioned shotgun could be used with ease.

At this moment, Lin Ze raised his hand and fired another shot. "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the surface of the lake splashed with water.

"I got it!" Lin Ze shouted excitedly.

Lin Changgui walked over and took a look, and sure enough, he saw a big fish weighing about ten pounds floating on the water.

"Xiao Ze, your shooting skills are amazing!" Lin Changgui praised.

Lin Ze smiled and scratched his head.

Every shot Lin Ze fired hit the target accurately, making Lin Changgui praise his marksmanship endlessly.

"Okay, Xiaoze, let's stop here for today." Lin Changgui patted Lin Ze on the shoulder, "Your shooting skills are already very good. If you practice more in the future, you will definitely become an excellent hunter."

Lin Ze nodded, handed the hunting rifle to his grandfather, took off his clothes, and went into the lake to salvage the prey he had hunted today.

Lin Ze swam very fast and soon dragged the three geese and wild ducks ashore.

When it came to the big fish, there was a little trouble. The fish weighed more than ten pounds, and Lin Ze's small body could not drag it for a while.

Lin Changgui on the shore was obviously a little anxious, "Xiao Ze, stop dragging it. If you can't lift it, ask your uncle to come and drag the fish. Hurry up and get ashore!"

Lin Changgui knew that this lake was huge and there were legendary creatures living there. Those water monsters were not something that ordinary people like them could deal with with just a homemade gun.

"Master, wait a moment, I'll come ashore right away." Lin Ze said as he pushed the big fish from behind and swam quickly towards the shore.
