Chapter 26 Waiting for the Mountain Lion
The shooting range is not big, it is impossible for a small store to have a big shooting range, but it is not small, there are six compartments for people to test guns.

There were already three or four people inside, and the clerk led Zhang Chi to pick a path where no one was there, and then asked Zhang Chi to test the gun by himself, while he stepped back more than one meter away.

Zhang Chi has played with guns. Although his marksmanship is not good, he also knows how to load bullets into the magazine.

Picking up the gun, Zhang Chi aimed at a target about ten meters away, calmed down and held his breath, and then pulled the trigger.

boom!
There was a gunshot, and the bullet hit the target paper.

But it's a pity that it didn't hit the center, but between the sixth and seventh rings.

After reloading the bullet, Zhang Chi continued to concentrate on shooting. The second time the result was better, he passed the eighth ring.

After trying all three guns, Zhang Chi decided to keep the Remington recommended by the clerk. The first reason is that the quality of the gun is lighter than the other two, and the second is that the accuracy is better than the other two. For beginners, it is obvious that this Remington is more suitable.

"I want this one," Zhang Chi said.

The clerk replied: "Okay".

"Give me two more boxes of bullets," Zhang Chi said again.

The clerk brought Zhang Chi to the front desk, first approved Zhang Chi's personal information, that is, did you have any crimes, and then recorded the ballistics and other messy things, but generally speaking, Zhang Chi should do things Not much.

For a good citizen like Zhang Chi who has never violated any law, there is no problem at all in buying a gun.

At the end of the payment and posting, draw your own signature on the receipt, and the whole process is considered complete.

Soon the clerk put the gun into the gun case, put the bullets in a small plastic bag, put them on a small cart and pushed them in front of Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi pushed the car to the parking lot, opened the door next to his pickup, put the gun and bullets into the car, and pushed the car to the place next to the car.

When I drove back home, the sun had already set, and there was only a little afterglow left on the western hills, but because the sun had not completely set, the visibility of the pasture was still very high.

Back with the gun, Zhang Chi put the gun directly beside the table and started cooking dinner.

Meow meow!

Just as he was about to cook, he heard the meowing of the kitten, Zhang Chi remembered that his uncle and aunt had asked for a kitten for him.

He hadn't eaten yet, and the little guy was crying out that he was hungry, so Zhang Chi had to stop first, and made a pot of goat milk powder for the kitten.

Now Zhang Chi doesn't dare to let the kitten out, his house is so big, if the little guy runs away, he won't be able to chase him.

Didn't you see that Zhang Chi can't handle twenty cows now, let alone such a small cat.

When I didn’t work on the ranch, I always thought it was easy for the cowboys to become a cow, just like playing, but when it was my turn, I realized that it was actually not as easy as I thought.

Dinner is still the same old three, steak, potatoes with a little onion rings, so you can pull a big plate to fill up your five internal organs.

Zhang Chi has been eating this food these days, even the best food will get annoying after a long time, but Zhang Chi has no time to cook a delicious Chinese meal to reward himself.

Cut the steak into small pieces, put it in your mouth with chopsticks, and flipped through your phone while eating. Zhang Chi contacted the big ranch that sells calves, but he didn't wait for a reply after a while, so he pressed Mei Li What Ka said, Zhang Chi cut the price in half again, and I don't know if he agrees or not.

There was no news from the ranch here, so Zhang Chi began to pay attention to other ranches, thinking that since this ranch would weed out calves, other big ranches might do the same.

I looked through the large ranches I knew, and found that these large ranches did not sell culled calves. I couldn't help but wonder if Melika said that every ranch will cull some calves at this time. Is it correct? .

Doubts are doubts, and it is impossible for him to grab Melika's collar and ask her why.

In fact, it was a mistake to blame Melika. Many large ranches directly deal with the elimination of calves, and did not list them, because they thought they were listed and no one bought them. In the end, they were all dealt with. After a few years, everyone will directly give After disposing of it, there are also some companies that specialize in this business, and the purchased calves are slaughtered and made into some feed or something.

While Zhang Chi was looking at Mavericks, a message came on his phone.

When I opened it, I found that it was sent by my second cousin.

"Xiaochi, there is a big turning point, the song is pretty good, I'm looking for someone to record it now...".

It’s such a long string of words, Zhang Chi is not even interested in watching it, what’s so fun about recording a song, if it can be on some radio station’s list, it may make money, recording a song is still ten years away from being popular Thousands of miles away.

From Zhang Chi's point of view, his cousin's ability to choose songs is probably on the same starting line as his own. If the song he picks can become popular, Zhang Chi feels that tomorrow's sun can directly hit the mountain ridge in the west and jump out.

"I'm still short of money...".

"roll!"

After replying, Zhang Chi stopped talking to his cousin.

Unexpectedly, this guy didn't stop, Zhang Chi directly blacklisted this guy in a fit of anger: "It's too noisy!"

After eating and tidying up, Zhang Chi began to practice guns, thinking that the mountain lion would definitely not appear at this time, and it would have to be in the dead of night when it would appear.

I got into the car and looked around, but I didn't find any good targets. Zhang Chi had no choice but to take out the dartboard he used to play darts with, and hang it directly on a tree as a target.

He opened the gun case, took out the gun, opened the bullet case, grabbed a handful of bullets and put them in his side pocket. Zhang Chi stood still about thirty paces away from the target.

Open the bolt and push the bullet into the chamber. The crisp clicking sound sounds so pleasant. For men, guns seem to be inherently exciting.

The same is true for Zhang Chi now. Trying a gun in a gun shop is far less happy and relaxed than Zhang Chi is now.

boom!
The shot went wrong.

clang!
After withdrawing the bullet, Zhang Chi took out a new bullet from his pocket and stuck it into the barrel of the gun, picked up the gun and continued aiming.

Just as he was about to take the second shot, he suddenly heard a ding-dong sound from his mobile phone.

boom!
The shot was definitely hit, but it was still far away from the red heart in the center. If I aimed at the head of the mountain lion, I might hit the neck by chance.

Returning to the small table with the gun in hand, he picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, only to find out that it was the news that someone from the cattle ranch had returned.

There is only one sentence: no bargaining!

"Nima, these Yankees are really brainless. If you sell it to others, you still have to pay for it. Why can't you sell it to us at half price?" Zhang Chi muttered.

But he didn't stop, and directly added a sentence under the other person's information: "Let's discuss with your manager."

"I am the manager" came a very blunt sentence.

Zhang Chi wanted to curse when he saw this.

He was going to use his soft and hard skills, but who knew that people would not reply to his messages.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Chi had no choice but to continue to practice his marksmanship. The so-called sharpening the spear before the battle is not good enough.

The gun was sharpened very carefully, the whole box of bullets was almost polished, Zhang Chi's gun didn't grow much, and it was still three or four circles away from the center of the circle.

As the sun went down completely, Zhang Chi couldn't practice anymore, because the whole dart board looked dark from dozens of steps away.

There are good targets around, ten alive and kicking goats, but Zhang Chi has just eaten, and he doesn't want to eat mutton skewers yet.

After staying for a while, Zhang Chi drove the pickup to the grove where the cattle were hiding.

About [-] meters away from the grove, Zhang Chi stopped the car and turned off the ignition. He climbed onto the back of the bucket with a gun and waited for the mountain lion to come.

After a while, the mountain lion didn't wait, Chi Yanshan ran over, stretched his neck, put his head on the carriage, and stared at Zhang Chi.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Chi asked in a low voice towards Chi Yanlai, while reaching out to wipe the bridge of its big nose with his hand.

Whoosh!

Chi Yanshan's two big nostrils spewed out a gust of hot wind.

I was so scared by the mountain lion last night, now Chi Yanshan is a little afraid to stay alone, and I feel that the safest place may be next to its owner.

What's more, the owner brought a hard guy today. As a well-trained horse, gunshots can't scare it. If it is afraid of gunshots, then how can this horse be said to be well-trained.

So Chiyan Mountain is very familiar with gunshots, and it also knows how powerful this thing is.

Originally, Zhang Chi thought that it was okay for Chi Yanshan to stay by, but this guy would make a noise from time to time, humming and chirping, isn't it obvious that he was reporting to the mountain lion?

"Are you a traitor, boy? I don't usually see you like this. Which song is this singing tonight?" Zhang Chi grabbed Chi Chi Yanshan's ear and pulled it twice.

Chi Yanshan didn't resist, seeing the master talking to himself, Herod slapped his nose twice.

Zhang Chi saw that this was going to die, and the mountain lion might not dare to come tonight with Chiyanshan next to him, so he directly put Chiyanshan into the gourd.

Now Zhang Chi's side finally became quiet.

People hid in the carriage, and the car was placed in the shade, so that the rising moonlight would not reveal the position of the car, and Zhang Chi also carefully picked the limelight, so that his own smell would not reach the nose of the mountain lion inside.

Zhang Chi knew that this beast would definitely come again tonight, and no beast could refuse a chance to have a good meal.

But the fact is just as Zhang Chi expected, the mountain lion really came, and it came quite early, and it ate a free meal yesterday, which made it extra diligent tonight.

Soon Zhang Chi saw his eyes shining brightly like little lanterns, and he slowly walked towards the small forest from the grass.

mountain lion!

The unique eyes of carnivores are easy to find even if they are hidden in the grass.
