Chapter 20 The Power of the Sniper King
However, there were not so many jars, and after filling that bucket of honey, there was still half a bucket left, so Su Heng directly used an enamel basin to hold it.
She looked at the uneaten sour apricots on the table, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind: she could make jam with them.
He did it right away. He cut the big bag of sour apricots into small pieces and removed the cores. There was also a small glass jar. Su Heng took a layer of fruit pulp and a layer of honey and spread it in it.
These are the cans I saved from eating canned food.
In the slightly green glass jar, golden apricots are wrapped in crystal clear wild honey. The sunlight from outside shines in, and the clear color looks very beautiful.
Su Heng decided to make a few more cans. It would definitely be good to drink it with water this summer. When the well is dug, put the water in and chill it. That would be a summer cold drink!
Speaking of the well, Secretary Chen might have been afraid that they would get impatient waiting, so he came over to inform them.
The drilling crew has just finished their last job and will be here tomorrow.
She has to put the honey away today and put it away together with the Codonopsis pilosula.
The Codonopsis pilosula was still spread on the bamboo sieve in the west room. Su Heng found a large piece of clean cotton cloth and put the dried Codonopsis pilosula into it.
There will be a lot of people coming and going for the next while, and it would be bad if someone came in to get tools and saw them.
After cleaning up for a while, Su Heng suddenly realized that Lu Mingchuan had not been at home all afternoon.
At first I thought he was out cutting grass to feed the chickens and ducks, but he wouldn't be out for that long.
The main thing is that he has a limp. Could something have happened to him?
Thinking about this makes me a little worried.
But it was obvious that it was not Lu Mingchuan who was going to be in trouble, but someone else.
Old Mrs. Zhang's two sons, Wu Laosan and Wu Laosi, had just come down from the mountain after chopping firewood.
I was sitting under a tree taking a rest when I was suddenly hit in the face by two sharp weapons. I almost peed my pants out of fright.
The two hidden weapons came with strong winds and shot past their foreheads. The two men didn't even have time to react and find a place to hide.
Wu Laosi was so scared that he fell to the ground. He touched his forehead with trembling hands and felt a broken hair. Fortunately, he was not shot.
The two men looked up at the tree and found that they were two bamboo arrowheads, deeply nailed into the trunk.
Wu Laosan was so frightened that he yelled, "Who are you? You're doing this sneaky trick? Come out here!"
Wu Laosi was a bit timid. He quickly hid behind a tree and shouted, "Please spare our lives, dear man! We didn't do anything wrong. We have no grudges against each other, so this shouldn't happen! This shouldn't happen!"
No one spoke, but the third bamboo arrow grazed Wu Laosan's scalp and pierced into the tree trunk behind him.
Wu Laosan was also scared now, and he kept shouting: "Spare my life, man, spare my life!"
A young figure walked out from not far away. He walked with a limp and looked like a disabled person.
But the aura around him cannot be underestimated. It’s Lu Mingchuan!
In his right hand, he held a strange and somewhat out-of-place bamboo wooden bin, which only looked similar in shape. At first glance, one might even mistake it for a child's toy.
This principle is actually a bit similar to a slingshot, where the arrow is mainly ejected by the curved bamboo strips in the bamboo tube.
The effect is average when used on others, but that is Lu Mingchuan, a genius sniper.
He raised his eyes and looked at the two of them coldly, his gloomy eyes made people shudder.
"This time is a warning. Next time, you can test my accuracy."
At first, Wu Laosan didn't realize how he had offended this evil spirit. He then thought about the two dollars his mother had compensated Lu Mingchuan's wife.
Just now when he came down the mountain, he was complaining to his brother about that black-hearted woman Su Heng, and he immediately slid down on his knees to apologize.
"Uncle knows he was wrong, Mingchuan. When I get home, I'll keep my mouth shut and never say anything nonsense again. We're all from the same village, and I watched you grow up..."
His dark face was full of flattery, no longer showing the gloating look he had when he heard that Lu Mingchuan was lame.
"roll."
"Okay, let's get out now, right now." Wu Laosi quickly pulled his third brother and ran away.
Damn, that's scary!
As they say, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. With such a reckless attitude, I will never dare to mess with him again!
It would be the end if the person who was retaliated against became as lame as him!
On the other side, Su Heng was still looking for Lu Mingchuan. Hearing her calling from afar, Lu Mingchuan picked up the crutch on the ground and went over.
"Lu Mingchuan! Where have you been?"
Su Heng was originally very anxious and angry that Lu Mingchuan didn't say a word, but when she saw the crutches he was holding, her anger immediately disappeared.
Lu Mingchuan: "Come out and try this."
Su Heng: "What is this?"
Only then did she notice that the object in Lu Mingchuan's hand was actually a bamboo toy gun more than half a meter long.
It is said to be a wooden warehouse, but the large bamboo tube on the warehouse body has a hollowed-out section and is equipped with a curved bamboo piece, and there is a small control clip at the front end.
Although the structure is still a bit complicated, it really looks like a toy at first glance.
When I was a child, there were always some naughty boys in the countryside who would use slingshots to shoot sparrows for fun.
Su Heng smiled knowingly: "I didn't expect you to be so childish. Are you out shooting sparrows? Can this thing shoot that far?"
Lu Mingchuan paused when he heard Su Heng's words, unable to follow her train of thought.
He immediately proved with his actions whether he could hit the target that far.
“clang—”
Su Heng stared in amazement at the arrow that had shot into the tree trunk.
Lu Mingchuan raised his eyes and asked back, "What do you think?"
Su Heng gave a thumbs up: "That's amazing! But why are you doing this? This thing is a bit dangerous."
To be precise, it is not the toy gun that is dangerous, but Lu Mingchuan holding it is dangerous.
Lu Mingchuan understood what she meant and said with a half-smile: "Didn't you want to catch wild ducks a few days ago?"
Su Heng almost forgot about this, after all, catching wild ducks was too difficult. Unexpectedly, Lu Mingchuan still remembered it and even did it.
Thinking of the effort he had put in these days, Su Heng was suddenly moved.
"Shall we give it a try then?"
Lu Mingchuan naturally agreed, and the two of them went to the river.
There are many wild ducks here. Because they have no natural enemies and cannot be caught by humans, they often paddle leisurely on the river.
As Su Heng approached, she saw a pair of wild ducks swimming out from the reeds. They were not afraid of people.
The two men squatted on the shore. After Lu Mingchuan refilled the magazine, he raised the wooden magazine and took aim.
Su Heng felt that his whole aura changed when he raised Mucang Shi, although the props in his hand looked a little ridiculous.
But the awe-inspiring aura he exuded amidst the hail of bullets was enough to make people ignore this incongruity and subconsciously feel that he was holding a real weapon.
"instigate-"
One of the ducks, which was paddling leisurely in the water, fell over and turned over on its belly.
The other mallard duck quacked in surprise and flapped its wings to fly away.
But soon, another shot was fired, and the moving target fell from the air, hit the reeds, fluttered twice and stopped moving.
These two wild ducks can be said to be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks.
Su Heng was stunned, staring at Lu Mingchuan with her almond-shaped eyes wide open, like a frightened stupid fox.
Is this... is this the power of the Sniper King?
So terrifying!
Lu Mingchuan was very calm. He glanced at the uncontrollable wonder and admiration in Su Heng's eyes, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
