Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Gun control in this era is relatively relaxed, but it is still subject to a certain degree of supervision to ensure that these weapons do not fall into the hands of criminals.

Despite this, guns owned by civilians are still relatively common, but most of them are shotguns or air guns, mainly used for activities such as hunting.

It was not until 1996 that the country officially enacted strict gun control laws.

To be honest, Liu Ping'an has space as his secret weapon and is not actually afraid of the threat of guns.

However, considering that I was about to go to the countryside and had no idea about the specific conditions there, it seemed a wise move to buy a gun for self-defense.

So he walked into the store without hesitation.

This store is not a place that specializes in selling guns, but more like a comprehensive cultural and sports store.

In addition to several guns displayed in the cabinets, the store also displays a wide variety of cultural and sports supplies and musical instruments.

All kinds of stationery, books, and teaching aids are neatly arranged on the shelves; there is a dazzling array of balls and sports equipment; there are even some small and cute toys that attract people's attention.

Liu Ping'an was dazzled by these things. He immediately thought of the children in his hometown. They were also of school age, but their school bags were empty and had all kinds of stationery. It would be better to buy them all here at once, which could be regarded as gifts for business trips.

Liu Ping'an thought that children in future generations would receive homework as rewards. When he thought of this funny scene, he smiled evilly.

For stationery like this, there is no need for tickets.

Under the ticket system, tickets were generally required only for things related to daily life.

As soon as Liu Ping'an walked into the store, he began to choose goods with great interest.

After he explained his needs to the salesperson, the salesperson sitting at the counter immediately realized that this was a big customer, so he enthusiastically helped Liu Ping'an select and take the items.

This surprised Liu Ping'an very much.

Because he remembered the arrogant and indifferent sales clerks in the supply and marketing cooperative in the old city, and even the bad behavior of beating and scolding customers.

It is really unexpected that the salespersons here are so enthusiastic.

You have to know that there was no concept of commission in that era, otherwise why do you think the waiters in later generations were so enthusiastic.

Liu Ping'an bought a lot of things.

Including several school bags, various stationery and some ball toys, hoping to bring a happy childhood to Lele and her friends.

After finishing shopping, Liu Pingan walked to the gun counter, leaned over it curiously, and asked, "Excuse me, are these guns for sale? Do I need a special certificate to buy them?"

The salesperson was stunned by the question and wondered in his heart how come this person, who was just buying stationery, was suddenly interested in guns.

But he answered truthfully: "Yes, you need special certificates to buy guns. If anyone can buy them at will, it will be a mess."

Liu Ping'an nodded to show his understanding, then picked up the pile of packages of various sizes and left first.

On the way, he put all his things into the space and went straight back to the guesthouse.

When he arrived at the room, he saw Dahu and Xiaohu sitting there eating donkey rolls with relish, while Chang Yan was telling some interesting stories with a smile on his face.

It seemed that after returning to the Northeast, Chang Yan was in a good mood and even talked more.

When they saw Liu Ping'an returning, they immediately greeted him warmly.

Liu Pingan responded briefly, then told everyone about his experience of buying a gun and explained the reason: "After all, we are going to the countryside and we know nothing about the local conditions, so it is difficult to ensure safety. Therefore, I think it would be safer to buy a gun."

After listening to this, everyone expressed their agreement.

In this day and age, when going to these unknown places, owning a gun makes people feel safe.

However, they are not members of the public security department.

And if you want to go to the countryside, you have to take a car. In the car, it is not allowed to carry a gun because you have to undergo security checks at the beginning.

This move certainly has its reasons. There have been cases where many people have boarded cars with guns and then committed robberies.

Especially those passengers who get on the bus midway are very likely to become robbers.

"How about this, Chang Yan, you go find Section Chief Chen and ask him to find someone to write us a note and let us buy a gun. I have a way to bring it with us." Chang Yan nodded, and without asking how to do it, he got up and left the room.

Chen Xiaohu was eating and asked, "Is it so unsafe here? I remember there are militias on the road."

Liu Pingan shook his head. Chen Xiaohu was talking about the road outside the city of Sijiu. The militia was mainly to prevent people from destroying the rice fields, and it had nothing to do with these.

"Don't worry, it's just a precaution. It's better if nothing happens. Besides, when we go hunting in the countryside, we will need a hunting rifle."

Chen Dahu's eyes lit up when he heard this and he just nodded continuously.

The two brothers have distinct personalities. Xiaohu is talkative, while Dahu is taciturn.

Liu Ping'an looked at the two of them and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The twins look exactly like each other. Except for their different personalities, they are almost identical in other aspects.

So Liu Ping'an looked at Chen Dahu.

This kid looks taciturn, but his interest in guns is obviously greater than Xiaohu's.

"Once you get the guns, you must practice your shooting skills in the countryside. When we go hunting in the mountains, you must not waste the opportunity."

After hearing this, Chen Dahu said excitedly, "Great! I've wanted to try shooting for a long time."

Although Chen Xiaohu didn't say anything, his moving fingers showed that he was still interested.

At this time, Chang Yan came back and told Liu Pingan that he had found Section Chief Chen and got a note to buy a gun.

Liu Pingan took the note, glanced at it, and then handed it to Chang Yan, saying, "Chang Yan, take this note and go buy a shotgun. Remember, you must choose a good quality one."

After saying that, Liu Ping'an handed the money to Chang Yan.

Chang Yan took it, nodded and said, "Okay! I will definitely pick out the best hunting rifle." After that, he hurriedly left the room.

Liu Ping'an didn't go to buy it himself, so as to avoid the salesperson's attention.

After a while, Chang Yan bought a long-barreled shotgun and came back with a bunch of bullets.

At this time, bullets were still precious. Liu Ping'an tested the gun barrel, then stood up and took the three of them to the shooting range.

This is a special place for the police to practice shooting, and the note also approved them to practice shooting.

Liu Ping'an didn't want to waste time, so he asked the three of them to come over and practice shooting and warm up the gun barrels. He had space at hand and was not very interested in practicing shooting.
