Chapter 113 Buying a Gun in the County Town

"Comrade, take this piece of inner tube with you, use it as a slingshot pouch."

"Thank you so much."

Lu Fangfang accepted it somewhat embarrassedly.

On her way to the grain store, she looked at the pink inner tube and had another idea.

He also has a rabbit skin at home, which can be used to make a slingshot pod. This bicycle inner tube can be cut into rubber strips to make another slingshot.

With a gun and a slingshot, Lu Fangfang was quite happy.

When she arrived at the grain store, she spent less than six yuan to buy thirty jin of fine grain, which cost less than two mao per jin.

It sounds cheap, but if you don't have food coupons, they won't sell it to you no matter how much money you offer.

Lu Fangfang loaded the grain onto the horse's back and rode away on her black horse.

After leaving the county town, she rode her black horse for more than an hour.

As they approached the family compound, Lu Fangfang gripped the reins, steer the black horse off the road, and into the meadow.

"Whoa~"

Lu Fangfang grabbed the reins and jumped off the horse.

After running such a long distance, the horse was tired and lowered its head to nibble on the grass sprouts on the ground.

She looked around and realized that it wasn't far from the previous burrows of marmots.

After taking off the air gun she was carrying, Lu Fangfang excitedly pulled out lead bullets from her bag.

"Click."

She pulled down the lever, the chamber opened, she took the lead bullet, put it into the barrel, and then closed the lever.

Holding up the air rifle, Lu Fangfang squinted at the sights on the barrel and began searching for nearby pikas.

"Ah...ah..."

After searching around, Lu Fangfang didn't see a pika, but she did see a chubby groundhog not far away, looking at her curiously.

She held up the air rifle and aimed it at the groundhog.

"Smack."

The gunshot was faint; the lead bullet hit a rock near the marmot.

"Ah...ah..."

The groundhog was startled and quickly ran back into its burrow.
