Unlike Shi Lingheng, Yu Qing was like an annoying bug in Fan Xiaofan's eyes.
But he maintained a refined and scholarly demeanor, as if everyone else could be deceived.
Fan Xiaofan remembered that in the confidential documents, Shi Lingheng's biography stated that when he was initially trapped in shallow waters, he was not free at all.
He will always have people like Yu Qing by his side.
Even under such circumstances, he still forged his own brilliant life, leaving a significant mark on history as an unsung hero.
Fan Xiaofan was good at observing details. Although he had only met Yu Qing twice, Yu Qing's behavior was like a moving camera.
He's putting on this act of being good buddies with the big boss now, isn't it all because he's "dutifully" fulfilling his "surveillance" duties?
Shi Lingheng neither confirmed nor denied Yu Qing's enthusiasm, but simply said, "I've come to discuss the matter of wild animals with the village chief."
The village chief's wife frowned and said, "Yu Zhiqing, you should also try to persuade him. The wild animals on those mountains are not easy to deal with."
Yu Qing thought for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "He's stubborn; once he's made up his mind, no one can dissuade him."
Fan Xiaofan lowered his head, thinking that he had to help the big boss, but he was also a little scared. Luckily, he hadn't encountered the big cat when he was wandering around in the mountains and forests after he had just returned from his travels.
After Shi Lingheng and Yu Qing left, the village chief, who also needed to apply to the county for a timber warehouse, went to the county town with Fan Xiaofan.
These weapons are now regulated and not allowed to be privately owned. When President Xu saw Li Dafu's honest, hunched-over, smiling face, he rolled his eyes.
That brat was so uncooperative when it came to paying his taxes; if it weren't for later... hmph...
He should definitely make a good note of this.
He still approved the note with a stern face.
To be honest, the guns in small county towns aren't very accurate, have short ranges, and are prone to missing. Even for an old hand like this, without a cop, no one can get their hands on a gun from the Ministry of War.
When Fan Xiaofan arrived, she had already discussed it with Li Dafu. Once the gun was retrieved, she would modify it.
The wild animals in the mountains are wild, but when they are about to die, they are unreliable and take people's lives.
Li Dafu now trusts Fan Xiaofan completely. He watched as Fan Xiaofan quickly dismantled the wooden gun in front of him and then swiftly made some changes. He stared wide-eyed, not daring to blink.
Goodness gracious! How can this little girl be so amazing? Is she some kind of celestial being? How come everything looks like a child's toy in her hands?
After the modifications were completed, Fan Xiaofan instructed Li Dafu to let Shi Lingheng test the feel of the controls before going up the mountain.
Li Dafu nodded as if he were pondering something. He was old enough to be Fan Xiaofan's grandfather, but he was very well-behaved in front of the little girl.
Without wasting any time, Li Dafu rushed back to the village, found Shi Lingheng, gave him the gun, and then instructed him: "Try it out first to see if it's easy to handle. Also, don't be reckless. If things go wrong, remember that your life is the most important thing."
Shi Lingheng smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, Yu Qing will come with me. The two of us can always look after each other."
The village chief was taken aback, then couldn't help but whisper, "Kid, I think you're capable. That Yu Qing is so refined; wouldn't he just be a hindrance to you?"
That's what Li Dafu thought. Logically speaking, dealing with those big wild animals was a major event for the village, and as the village chief, he should have gone along. However, he knew his own limitations; with his old arms and legs, he would only cause trouble if he went.
In Li Dafu's eyes, Yu Qing was also powerless.
