Chapter 63 Military Dagger
After dinner, Gao Guobing called Gao Mingcheng outside to take a walk to digest the food. Gao Yue also wanted to go with them, but was dissuaded by a look from Gao Guobing.
"Mom, I'll clean up the dishes for you!" Gao Yue cleverly tried to please his mother, winning a look of approval from her.
After going downstairs, the two walked to the back of the building.
There was a hillside with many miscellaneous trees and some of the most common flowers and plants.
In a few years, this place will be built into a People's Park and a place where people in the county will often go to play, but now it is just an undeveloped forest.
The two men walked in the woods, Gao Guobing in front and Gao Mingcheng behind.
"Ming Cheng, you came to see me for something else, right?" Although Gao Guobing used a question mark, his tone was firm.
As he has been doing investigative work for many years, he had long realized that Gao Mingcheng came to him for a purpose, but he had not yet guessed what Gao Mingcheng's purpose was.
Gao Mingcheng grinned and said openly, "Uncle, I want to get a second-hand shotgun from you. Do you think it's okay?"
When Gao Guobing heard that Gao Mingcheng wanted a gun, he was stunned at first, but then he understood.
But he hesitated for a moment before saying, "A shotgun is easy to make, but also difficult to make."
Gao Mingcheng looked at him in confusion. There was no ban on guns or hunting at the moment. In principle, as long as you had a way to buy a gun, and a way to get a gun license, then there would be no problem.
Gao Guobing explained carefully: "Ming Cheng, the police station is funded by the local finance. Our place... it's relatively poor! In 1983, each police station here only had one or two box guns. After the Northeast Two Kings case, the local finance allocated a sum of money to buy advanced guns, but there were too many people and too little meat. The guns were not enough to go around!"
"We caught a group of tomb robbers here a few days ago. They dug up a complete Song Dynasty tomb. After reporting it, I heard that we should have a chance to get a few more guns next time. But there is absolutely no way that new guns will be leaked out."
"As for the old guns... there are some old guns in the warehouse, but they are too bad. Not to mention killing prey, I'm afraid they will explode as soon as they are fired! I dare not give you a gun like that!"
Gao Guobing explained it very clearly and Gao Mingcheng understood it.
The economic development of their county is a bit slow. In 1986, in Shanghai, cases could be handled through surveillance, but in the economically underdeveloped remote areas, even telephones were not yet popular, and case handling depended entirely on paper and pen records and visits.
Gao Guobing patted Gao Mingcheng on the shoulder with a helpless look.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for you. If I come across a good old gun, I'll keep it for you. Wait a little longer, there will be news in about a month or two."
"If you are free, you can come to my house for dinner on weekends. Next time you come, don't buy anything. It's a waste of money! It's not easy for you to make money. You should spend it frugally!"
Gao Mingcheng naturally listened to the elders' teachings and nodded in response.
His idea of getting a hunting rifle from Gao Guobing was gone.
It's all because the county is too poor. If it were in a place like the three northeastern provinces, with connections like Gao Guobing, it would be easy to get not only a hunting rifle but even a Type 54 pistol.
Gao Mingcheng had given up and stopped asking about the gun. The uncle and nephew talked about other things while they were taking a walk.
Although it was the weekend today, Gao Guobing still had to be on duty, so after walking for more than ten minutes, the two returned home together. Gao Guobing went into his bedroom, and not long after, he came out with a military dagger in his hand.
He handed the dagger to Gao Mingcheng and said seriously: "Keep it safe and don't abuse it!"
Gao Mingcheng asked him to get a gun, but he couldn't get one. He also didn't want Gao Mingcheng to make a wasted trip. He knew that Gao Mingcheng now made money by collecting honey and hunting in the mountains, so he decided to give this military dagger to Gao Mingcheng.
There was a flash of surprise in Gao Mingcheng's eyes, followed by a burst of ecstasy. He excitedly took the dagger with both hands. It was slightly heavy in his hand, and felt cold and sharp.
This is a Type 65 Army dagger. It is very small and well maintained and looks new.
The dagger had a scabbard, and he subconsciously pulled the dagger out of the scabbard. The flash of the knife flashed before his eyes.
As the knife was unsheathed, a murderous aura immediately spread. At this moment, Gao Mingcheng was sure that this dagger had seen blood.
In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng had used a machete to chop people, but he had no way to get a military dagger. But now, this sharp military dagger was in his hands.
He gripped the hilt tightly, but in his heart he was eager to try stabbing, poking, wiping, chopping and other actions. However, the space was small now, so he naturally could not use the dagger at will.
He looked up at Gao Guobing, his face full of excitement: "Uncle, thank you!"
Gao Guobing frowned slightly and said solemnly: "You have to know what you can do and what you can't do, understand?"
Gao Mingcheng understood what Gao Guobing meant, and nodded quickly, then said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will never do anything that I shouldn't do!"
Gao Guobing seemed to believe it. He patted Gao Mingcheng on the shoulder, then picked up the enamel cup and prepared to walk towards the police station.
Before leaving, he reminded Gao Mingcheng to practice more "Intelligent Kung Fu" after returning to the village.
Gao Mingcheng nodded and watched Gao Guobing leave. At this moment, he was so excited that he didn't even remember anything about "Intelligent Qigong".
After Gao Guobing left, Gao Mingcheng carefully examined the dagger in his hand. He felt that every part of the dagger was beautiful, especially the blade, which he felt was very sharp and would hurt him if touched.
Gao Yue stood aside, his face full of envy.
When his father gave Gao Mingcheng the military dagger just now, he was almost stunned!
You know, he used to pester his father to give him this dagger, but his father refused!
"My dad is so good to you!" Gao Yue said with a sour tone.
Gao Mingcheng came back to his senses, put the dagger back into the scabbard, imitated Gao Guobing's previous action, patted Gao Yue's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future!"
Gao Yue simply rolled his eyes.
Originally, Gao Yue wanted to take Gao Mingcheng to watch TV for a while, but Gao Mingcheng had just received a military dagger and was very excited. He had no interest in the black and white TV at all, so he made the excuse that he had to wait for the bus and would come to play with Gao Yue next time when he was free.
Gao Yue could see that he was making excuses, so he rolled his eyes again.
He went into his room and came out with a bag containing several books.
"I've read all these books. You can take them back and read them! My dad said that if you read more books, you will become smarter."
Gao Mingcheng took a look at the books in the bag. Wow, they were all martial arts novels!
He looked at Gao Yue with an indescribable look and thought, Gao Guobing asked Gao Yue to read more books, but he definitely didn't mean to ask Gao Yue to read more martial arts novels!
However, he appreciated his brother's kindness!
"Thanks, I'll keep it for safekeeping and return it to you when I'm done reading it."
