Chapter 59: Grandpa Gun

Bailing brought him his clothes and said, "Master, why is the young lady sleeping here?"

"I woke up in the middle of the night and ran here because I was scared." Si Jinchen looked at Juanjuan who was still asleep.

Bailing was silent for a while. They all forgot that the young lady was only three and a half years old. If she woke up at night, she would probably be scared.

Why not talk to the old lady and have her sleep with the young lady at night.

Thinking of this, when the two children went to class, she told Madam Si: "Madam, I want to sleep with the young lady tonight."

"Just make a bed on the floor next to her."

"Why do you want to sleep with Juanjuan out of the blue?" Old Madam Si was a little puzzled.

Bailing: "Last night, the young lady woke up in the middle of the night. She might have been scared, so she ran to sleep in Master Achen's room. I think the young lady is young after all, and she might be scared if no one is around her at night."

Madam Si pondered for a moment and said, "That's true. The child is only three years old. It's normal for him to be scared if he wakes up at night and no one is around."

"I'll ask her later."

Ma Yang was taken out by Si Tian today, probably to be assigned the task of getting materials from Cui Yu Tower.

This child has shown good behavior at home during this period, so I can leave him in my care without worry.

Yan Anqing didn't rush to leave today, but instead went to see Madam Si: "Madam, what happened yesterday?"

"Some dirty things have sneaked into Beiyang City and need to be cleaned up, otherwise it will be difficult to live in peace." Old Lady Si said with a smile.

"It's time to clean up." Yan Anqing got up and left.

Madam Si saw Juanjuan and waved at her: "Juanjuan."

Juanjuan ran to her and hugged her and rubbed her: "Grandma."

"Juanjuan, were you woken up by the sound of firecrackers last night?" Old Madam Si said as she held her in her lap.

"Well, I woke up and saw that the room was pitch black." Juanjuan said as he shrank into her arms.

Madam Si gently placed her chin on her head and asked, "Do you want to sleep with grandma from now on?"

Juanjuan raised her little head and looked at her: "Okay!"

"Then from today on, Juanjuan will sleep with grandma." Old Madam Si smiled and hugged her.

Sima Ming disappeared for several days and finally appeared this afternoon.

"Dad, I miss you so much." Juanjuan was the first to run over and hug him.

"I missed you too." Si Ming bent down and picked her up: "Have you listened to grandma during this period?"

"Yes, Juanjuan is very well behaved." Juanjuan smiled and hugged him.

Si Ming looked at Si Jinchen and reached out to hug him: "How are your studies recently? Do you understand what Mr. Yan said?"

"Yes, I understand everything Mr. Yan said." Si Jinchen nodded.

"If you don't understand something, you have to ask. You can't pretend to understand when you don't. Do you understand?" Siming rubbed his head.

"Dad!" Si Jinchen hesitated and spoke.

Seeing that he had something to say, Siming asked Juanjuan to go find Songsong to play first: "You have something to tell me?"

"I want to learn how to use a gun and learn martial arts." Si Jinchen looked at him firmly.

Siming was stunned. He didn't expect him to make such a request. "You are too young to learn a spear, but you can learn martial arts."

"I'll help you find a martial arts teacher." He hesitated for a moment and then said, "If you're interested in guns, I'll have someone send them back, but no bullets."

"Before you learn how to use a gun, it will be beneficial to you in the future if you understand its structure."

"Okay." Si Jinchen has always liked to study.

Siming had dinner with his family and then left in a hurry.

However, a lot of guns were delivered the next day.

There are many types of guns here, including old-style, Type 13, Mauser, Browning pistol, and Type 2 heavy machine gun, etc.

There are domestic and foreign guns, as well as many obsolete guns. All the guns that can be found are here.

Adjutant Qi looked at his young master and said, "Young master, these are all the guns we can find at the moment, both domestic and foreign."

Si Jinchen didn't expect there would be so many: "Thank you, Uncle Qi. Could you please help me move them to a room and arrange them by oldest to newest?"

"Of course, these are all trivial matters." Adjutant Qi had the guns carried into a room and sorted and arranged according to his requirements.

"Young Master, we still have things to do, so we'll take our leave first." Adjutant Qi said something to Madam Si and left.

Juanjuan looked at these strange iron things curiously: "These guns are so old."

"Yes, we are all old." Si Jinchen took the oldest gun, which should be called a musket.

"Grandpa Gun said that it has a short range and is troublesome to load, but it is very powerful." Juanjuan said, pointing to the musket in his hand.

"Juanjuan, can I take it apart?" Si Jinchen really wanted to know the structure inside.

Juanjuan glanced at the gun in its hand and said, "Sure. If you can't put it back, Grandpa will tell you how to put it back."

She sat beside him with a smile and watched him take the tools and start to dismantle the gun.

Starting from the gun's handle, then the internal structure, remove it bit by bit.

Si Jinchen found a pen and paper and began to carefully draw the things he had taken apart, although his drawings were a little irregular at first and even the lines were crooked.

But it's enough as long as he can understand it.

Juanjuan would also learn to draw like him, but only she could understand her drawings.

The two children sat in the room studying the musket, taking it apart and putting it back together, and taking it apart again.

Doing the same thing over and over again, Juanjuan didn't quite understand why she did it.

Si Jinchen was perfecting his drawings again and again, from the initial sloppy ones to becoming clearer and clearer later on.

Juanjuan would also tell him some of the pros and cons that Grandpa Gun had mentioned.

"Grandpa Gun said it's difficult to load the gunpowder, and it takes a long time to fire a shot."

"Grandpa doesn't have a magazine for this gun, so he can only pour gunpowder into it through his mouth." Si Jinchen pointed to the barrel of the gun.

"Yeah, yeah, Grandpa Gun said that if the gunpowder gets wet, it can only be used to hit the enemy's head." Juanjuan said with a smile.

The two children chatted back and forth like this, which actually amused Madam Si and the others.

Songsong was a little unhappy because they didn't want to play with him today.

"Woof woof. A bad boy who gets bored easily."

Juanjuan turned around and saw Songsong turning his head away and ignoring her. She got up from the ground and ran to hug Songsong: "Songsong, let grandma find you a wife."

Songsong looked at her in horror.

"Woof woof. You're just a little kid, do you know what you're saying?"

Madam Si and the others were listening with tears in their eyes: "Juanjuan, who taught you to say that?"

Juanjuan scratched his head and looked at them with a silly look on his face: "No one taught me!"
