Siheyuan: Domineering life

"If you want to know whether it is a domestic chicken or a wild chicken, wouldn't you know after you shoot it?"

Mu Sheng did not tell everyone the answer directly, but just pointed at the things in their hands.

"That makes sense."

Li Tiezhu scratched his head and said, "Okay, let's take it down and see."

Then, he walked in front with a gun in hand.

Everyone saw this and followed him one after another.

The further they went into the dense forest, the more "flying chickens" they encountered. Those birds were like locusts, everywhere. Seeing so many flying chickens, everyone was confused.

They had been hunting for a lifetime, but this was the first time they had seen so many. It was like they had walked into a chicken coop. Flying chickens that looked like both domestic and pheasants were everywhere. They didn't know how to hide even when people came, and even walked up to them in a swagger to look for food.

"Is it really a domestic chicken?"

A chicken came to Li Tiezhu's feet to look for food, and then he could see that it was a genuine domestic chicken.

It’s just that because these chickens are free-range, they can fly, making people mistake them for pheasants.

In fact, most people don’t know that chickens can fly.

"Hmph, you stubborn idiot. I told you it was a domestic chicken, but you didn't believe me. Do you believe it now?" Ji Demin rolled his eyes at him.

"Hehe, I believe it, I believe it. You, Old Ji, have a sharp eye." Li Tiezhu gave him a thumbs up.

"You are just a stick, you just like to argue."

"Yes, yes, you know me best, Lao Ji."

At this time, everyone knew that this was a domestic chicken, so they turned their eyes to Mu Sheng.

We all came here to hunt, and you fooled people with domestic chickens. Everyone hopes that Mu Sheng can give an explanation for this.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng shrugged, spread his hands, and said with a wry smile: "As everyone thinks, these are poultry."

"But what can I do? You come to hunt today, and I come to hunt tomorrow. There are not so many wild animals to hunt. So, I will use poultry instead of wild animals."

"It not only protects wild animals, but also satisfies guests' curiosity about hunting. After all, not everyone has such good marksmanship as you do, so they just do it for fun."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, even Yang Jun laughed along.

Yes, Mu Sheng is right. There are not so many wild animals for you to hunt. Hunting now is not the same as before. Before the Animal Protection Law was introduced, you could hunt however you wanted and it didn't matter how many you killed. Now all animals are protected. Even the wild boars that were rampant in the past have become protected animals. Naturally, it is impossible to hunt as recklessly as before.

Well, the Mu Sheng Resort is mainly for entertaining some special guests. If they cannot satisfy their interests and hobbies, who will come again in the future?

Fortunately, he came up with this idea of ​​using poultry instead of wild animals, which not only satisfied the guests' hobbies but also did not violate the law, killing two birds with one stone.

"Oh, hunting poultry is so boring." Li Lixin sighed.

After listening to Mu Sheng's story, everyone suddenly lost interest in hunting.

They had all been to the battlefield and were good at shooting. But asking them to shoot poultry would be like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken. Their original passion immediately faded a lot.

"Well, you can't say that. Even though it's a poultry, you may not be able to shoot it accurately." Mu Sheng smiled.

"Who am I looking down on? I can't say that I can always hit the target with my marksmanship, but it's absolutely impossible that I can't shoot poultry."

Li Lixin also took it seriously and raised his gun and aimed at the chickens foraging on the ground a few meters away.

But as soon as he raised the gun, the chicken seemed to sense danger, and suddenly flapped its wings and flew directly to the top of the tree.

"Oh my god, he's really a genius."

Li Lixin was stunned for a moment; the chicken's reaction was beyond his expectations.

"I still don't believe it."

After saying that, he put his hand on the gun belt and aimed the gun at the chicken on the treetop.

The chicken seemed to have really become a spirit. It spread its wings and flew high again, directly to another treetop. Then after a few takeoffs and landings, it disappeared from sight.

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.

"Old Li, is this okay now?" Mu Sheng asked with a smile.

"Old Mu, what's going on? Why are these domestic chickens more alert than pheasants?" Li Lixin asked in confusion.

Mu Sheng smiled when he heard this, and then said, "In fact, they were not so alert at first, and were no different from ordinary chickens. They only became alert after waves of rookies came."

"To put it bluntly, I was frightened and awakened."

After listening to Mu Sheng's explanation, everyone felt relieved.

"Oh, I thought it was those rookies who made the chickens so alert." Li Lixin.

After a slight pause, he continued, "But it's good this way, otherwise it would be really boring to hunt poultry."

"Yes, what Lao Li said is right. We are all good hunters. Why should we be afraid of cunning prey?" Peng Yue echoed.

“That’s what makes it challenging.”

Seeing that the poultry were so alert, everyone's lost expressions were filled with fighting spirit again, and even Yang Jun was eager to try.

Then, everyone took off their guns, started loading them, and prepared to show their skills.

However, the chickens seemed to be very familiar with the sound of pulling the bolt, and immediately fluttered away.

By the time everyone was ready to aim, those hundreds of chickens flew away without a trace.

"Damn it, if anyone says this is a domestic chicken again, I'll be angry with them." Li Tiezhu cursed.

The more this happens, the more it can inspire everyone's fighting spirit.

"Haha, just now a fool suggested adding chicken." Ji Demin muttered.

Upon hearing this, Li Tiezhu turned his eyes away, pretending he didn't hear it.

As long as he doesn't respond, he won't be embarrassed.

"Brothers, it's time to show your strength." Mu Sheng said to everyone with a smile.

"That's right, brothers, it's time for us to show our skills."

It has been many years since we last touched a gun, and everyone is itching to try it out. Seeing so many prey, we can't help but want to try it out.

Then, everyone continued to walk deeper into the dense forest.

As we went deeper into the mist, we saw more and more prey, including chickens, rabbits, pigs, sheep, and even ducks and geese.

Especially those domestic pigs, after living in the wild for such a long time, their appearance has become no different from wild boars. They are covered with thorns, and they run just as fast as wild boars, and even have a certain attack power.

Along the way, there was constant sound of gunfire and everyone was hunting to their heart's content.

Everyone tries to pick flying chickens, which are challenging. As for large domestic pigs and geese and ducks that cannot fly, everyone naturally ignores them. After all, everyone wants to save face, and no one will attack such bulky poultry. These things are reserved for the novices.

After an hour, they had killed a few pigs and sheep, but not a single flying chicken.

Those chickens were so cunning that they flew away from a distance when they heard the gunshots, and their shadows could not be seen for a long time.

Later, everyone started to compete with each other, saying that they would not go back until they caught a flying chicken today.

Yang Jun, who had not fired a gun for a long time, finally fired the first shot.

However, the shot missed and the chicken glided away.

Yang Jun stood there with an embarrassed look on his face.

I haven't touched a gun for so many years that my skills have become rusty.

You know, he used to be a soldier king in the army, proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and his marksmanship was naturally impeccable, but who would have thought that he would fail today, which made him feel very embarrassed.

Everyone looked at Yang Jun with a constipated look on their faces, shrugging their shoulders, as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

"Ha ha!"

In the end, Wang Erwa couldn't help but laugh.

He smiled coquettishly, with a mocking look on his face.

"Old Yang, you don't deserve the title of Soldier King, haha."

Wang Erwa laughed and said, "I've been watching you. I thought you were an expert and wouldn't attack easily. Who knew...Haha!"

"Didn't you fail to hit it either?" Yang Jun said with a smile.

"I'm not a top soldier, so it's normal that I can't hit the target." Wang Erwa said self-deprecatingly, "Brothers, you know how good I was at shooting in the army, so it's normal that I can't hit the target."

"But, you, the king of soldiers, actually failed. Tsk tsk... It's really beyond my expectation."

"King of Soldiers?" Yang Jun said self-deprecatingly, "It happened decades ago. I don't even remember it. How could you remember it?"

"Once a soldier, you are always a soldier. It is really disappointing that you, Old Yang, are so bad at shooting now."

"Damn it, stop flattering me. I haven't been a soldier king for decades." Yang Jun cursed with a smile.

No one agreed with Yang Jun's words.

As old comrades, in their minds, Yang Jun will always be the gun king. He used to have the best individual qualities in the army, and now he has the highest status. Yang Jun has always been the admirable existence among everyone. Now his performance is really beyond their expectations.

"Xiao Yang, it's okay. We are all mortals, and you are no exception. Don't blame yourself, haha." Ji Deming, who has always been highly respected, couldn't help but joked.

"That's right, you're also an ordinary person, you can't beat normal, haha."

When everyone saw this, they all started laughing.

Yang Jun did not refute and accepted it with a smile.

Sometimes, the more you refute, the more excited they become. On the contrary, if you don’t say anything, they will just laugh a few times and think it’s boring.

Of course, people are still disappointed with Yang Jun. After all, Yang Jun has always been a god-like existence in their minds. Now that he has fallen from the altar, disappointment is inevitable.

Yang Jun doesn't care about other people's opinions. After all, he is not a god. Although he looks bright and beautiful in the eyes of others, he actually knows that he has many ugly sides and he does not look as strong as others think.

He didn't want to have to carry it all the time, as it would be tiring to live like that.

There was actually another reason why he didn't take it seriously, that is, it was just a joke between comrades and there was no need to take it seriously.

The further we went into the dense forest, the more poultry we encountered. Of course, we inevitably stepped on their feces, which made everyone feel disgusted.

Apart from domestic chickens, other prey were very large, especially ducks, geese, sheep and the like. They just stood there like fools. Of course, no one would really shoot them. After all, no one would admit that they were bad at shooting.

Now everyone is trying their best to hunt domestic chickens, and they will not go back until they have shot down one.

"Old Mu, how many livestock do you have?"

Li Tiezhu pointed at the flocks of ducks, geese, sheep and other animals all over the mountain and asked in confusion.

You have to know that the entire deep forest is dozens of miles deep. If livestock are raised at such a high density, the population would be really huge.

Mu Sheng smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Well, I don't know how many are left now. I only know how many were put in at the beginning. There were 1 ducks, 2 geese, 3 chickens, 4000 goats, and 8000 pigs..."

Everyone was amazed when they heard this.

Li Lixin asked curiously, "Old Mu, are these poultry completely free-range? Or do you have special staff to raise them?"

"That's a lot of feed for the day, so it must cost a lot of money, right?"

Mu Sheng: "Half is free-range, and half is raised."

"We have dedicated breeding staff here who feed them every now and then. We can't just let them roam free, after all, there's not enough food for so many poultry."

After hearing this, everyone secretly did the math. Even if they only raised half of the pigs, the daily consumption of feed alone would cost a lot of money.

"Old Mu, this is not a hunting ground, I think it's more like a breeding farm." Li Tiezhu sighed: "Is it worthwhile to raise so many poultry just for hunting?"

"It's worth it." Mu Sheng said with a smile: "These are just small amounts of money. As long as I can make my customers happy, I will get more than that in return."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Yes, the reward you get must be more than what you put in. Otherwise, no one can lose money. That would be a fool."

"Yes, as long as you make the guests happy, there will be rewards."

"For example...Old Yang."

Everyone looked at Yang Jun.

Mu Sheng made such a big fuss, wasn't it just to please guests like Yang Jun? If Yang Jun was happy with the service, maybe he would be promoted to a higher level, so that he would be rewarded for his efforts.

Among these people, Mu Sheng was the one who understood the ways of the world the most. He did not just rely on the comradeship to deal with Yang Jun, but also used various methods to make Yang Jun happy, such as hunting, women...

"boom!"

Just as everyone was looking at Yang Jun, a gunshot was heard.

Yang Jun pulled the trigger again.

This time, everyone was not disappointed. With a bang, a flying chicken weighing more than four pounds fell to the ground.

The wings flapped a few times, then stopped moving.

"Fuck, Lao Yang, you are awesome. You are worthy of being the Soldier King."

Seeing that Yang Jun had really shot down the flying chicken, everyone was so shocked that their mouths opened wide.

At the beginning, everyone thought that shooting down a flying chicken would be a piece of cake, but the fact proved that this was more difficult than climbing to the sky. After a long time, no one shot down a flying chicken, but Yang Jun shot down one instead.

Everyone laughed at him just now, but after seeing his strength, they immediately praised him.

"Old Yang, you're so awesome." Li Tiezhu.

Yang Jun listened and smiled slightly.

He held the gun in his hand, put it to the corner of his mouth and blew it, then tilted his head back to 45 degrees and pursed his lips slightly.

"Calm down, it's just basic exercises!"

He was good at pretending, but it attracted a lot of dissatisfaction from the crowd, and they started to verbally attack him again. (End of this chapter)
