Late Qing Dynasty Executioner

Chapter 28 Testing the Gun
As the sky darkens, the birds return to the forest.

A turtledove preparing to return to its nest flew back from a distance. After circling in the sky, it was about to land, and then it really fell down. It was a bit abnormal because it fell vertically.

"Boss, you are so awesome. Haha, this is the fifth one. We will have meat to eat tonight!" Zhang San jumped happily and ran quickly towards the direction where the turtledove fell.

Chen Gu couldn't help but curl his lips. The money from this bullet was enough to buy more than a turtledove weighing 20 or 30 taels, and even an old hen weighing two or three catties.

If it weren't for the need to find the feel for the shot, Chen Gu would have been reluctant to shoot the turtledove with a bullet.

"Old man, how do you feel?" Chen Gu looked at Liu Er with sidelong eyes and asked while loading bullets.

Liu Er nodded and said with a smile: "It seems to be OK for now, and your marksmanship is very good. You can actually hit a flying bird within 20 meters. I just don't know the specific power of your bullet?

A general of Addis's rank would wear high-quality armor, and considering Addis's fear of death, he might be wearing three layers of armor. By the way, why is your gun so quiet? "

The sound of the musket was actually quite explosive, but the rifle in Chen Gu's hand seemed to be more powerful than the musket. After all, the musket might not be able to kill the turtledove after shooting at a distance of twenty feet.

But the sound made by the rifle in Chen Gu's hand was very small. Liu Er had never seen a cannon being thrown, so if he were to compare it, it was about the same loudness as the sound of blacksmithing.

One snap of the fingers is 7.2 seconds. The time of a few snaps of the fingers is really very good. When life is at stake, every second is precious.

As for wild boars, their heads account for at least 50 to 60 percent of their total body weight, which means they have a big head and a small butt, so they are very aggressive.

Just think about it, a wild boar weighing two or three hundred kilograms, with a big head weighing more than one hundred kilograms. If you count from the front legs, it would be more than two hundred kilograms. It looks very huge, and ordinary people would be scared when they see it.

"It's already very good. If your rifle can really kill the target from two or three hundred steps away, this little noise can at least buy you a few more seconds to escape." Liu Er exclaimed.

Following the sound, he saw a wild boar weighing two or three hundred pounds chasing Zhang San. Fortunately, this guy knew not to run straight and had to turn and sway from time to time, otherwise he would have been hit.

"Boss, help!"

Even though Chen Gu's rifle is equipped with a silencer and the noise is still very loud, as long as the distance is far enough and in the noisy environment during the day, he will basically not be locked on by the enemy in the first time, so he will have more time to escape.

"That's because I added a silencer. Actually, it's not done very well. If it was done well, there wouldn't be such a loud noise. It would only make a small 'whoosh' sound!" Chen Gu grinned.

The big fat pigs of later generations have very small heads, which account for less than 20% of their bodies, and most of their bodies are made up of good meat at the back. The heads of domestic pigs of this era are larger, accounting for almost 30% of their bodies, and there is not so much good meat.

As the two were chatting, they heard Zhang San's panicked cry for help in the distance.

Chen Guan immediately raised the rifle in his hand, and when Zhang San turned again, he decisively pulled the trigger. After a "bang" sound, the wild boar fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and then stopped moving.

This made Liu Er couldn't help but be shocked. After all, wild boars are very tenacious. Not only do they have thick skin and flesh, but they are also covered with a layer of mud. Ordinary bows and arrows or matchlock guns can't kill wild boars in one go, and sometimes they can't even hurt them.

Liu Er hurried forward to check the specific situation of the wild boar, while Zhang San immediately ran towards Chen Gu. After all, in Zhang San's opinion, he would be safe only if he returned to Chen Gu's side. He was really scared just now. The two started at the same time, and Liu Er arrived at the wild boar half the speed of Zhang San.

When Zhang San ran to Chen Gu's side, he was stunned and forgot to be afraid. He asked Chen Gu stupidly: "Boss, your master seems to be running so fast!"

"He does run pretty fast!" Chen Gu nodded and said with a smile, "But not as fast as you think. If we were really running in a race, he might not be able to outrun you. But if you're running for your life in the wild, you probably can't outrun him. If he chases you, you definitely can't get away."

Liu Er should know some unique skills like Qinggong. Not only does he have strong explosive power over short distances, but his steps are not restricted by terrain.

Chen Gu had come into contact with this thing in the army. Once, there was a kid from an ancient martial arts family who came to serve as a soldier. Chen Gu specifically asked for advice, and the other party did not hide anything. However, this thing was also not easy to practice. If you want to achieve something, in addition to guidance, you have to spend a lot of time practicing hard.

The cost-effectiveness is not as good as military combat boxing and gun skills, and given Chen Gu's situation, there is no way he can practice such sophisticated skills, so he finally gave up.

But in this era, this kind of ancient martial arts is very useful. After all, the battle between masters of martial arts often depends on a single moment of life and death.

Chen Gu and Zhang San also walked over. Liu Er had been fiddling with the wild boar for a while. The old man actually took out a knife and searched along the bullet hole in the wild boar's head.

When Chen Gu came over, Liu Er had already turned the wild boar over. After cutting the pig's face with a knife, he didn't mind the dirtyness and just reached in to feel around for a while, then looked shocked.

"It was so powerful that it actually cracked the skull. If the distance was a little closer, I'm afraid it would have penetrated the entire pig's head."

"Can this power break three layers of armor?" asked Chen Gu.

"Of course it can, of course it can. No matter what kind of armor it is, it can't have a defense as high as the entire pig's head." Liu Er said with a gleam in his eyes and an ecstatic look on his face.

"That's fine!" Chen Gu nodded with a smile and asked, "Can you tell me your secret now?"

Liu Er couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile: "In fact, there is no secret. People in our line of work are hated by gods and ghosts. Even prostitutes are unwilling to marry us. What secrets can there be!"

"Stop talking nonsense, it's getting dark, let's go back first!" Chen Gu curled his lips.

Liu Er looked at Chen Gu in surprise, but found that Chen Gu was winking at him, so he immediately shut up.

Afterwards, Chen Gu collected all the bullet casings, gave the rifle and the turtledove to Liu Er, and he and Zhang San found some vines to trap the wild boar, and together they dragged the wild boar away.

As soon as the three of them started, Bian Shichun jumped out with a few young and strong followers, "Haha, what a coincidence!"

　I'm asking for investment in my new book, collections, recommendations, monthly tickets, rewards, and all kinds of requests.

　　Thank you all for your support!
