The fat man curled his lips contemptuously: "I'll tell you, I actually fired two shots when I was a kid."
But then he took a look at the shotgun from Lao Yangpi, and said with a wry smile: "I don't have a gun like yours."
I've tried it.
Is this a shotgun?
I think it's not much better than the blunderbuss used by the Boxers to fight the foreign devils."
The herdsmen's shotguns.
There are also advanced ones, but Laoyangpi only has one hunting gun, because there are not many jackals on the grassland of Kelenzuo Banner.
Occasionally I see one from a distance, and use the hunting gun to blast it, just to act as a deterrent.
The small-caliber firegun actually has a very legendary history.
Its original form appeared in Tianjin as a wild duck hunting weapon.
The weapons of the Qing Dynasty were simple and durable in structure.
When the Taiping Rebellion reached Tianjin during the Northern Expedition, the capital of the Qing Dynasty could not be saved as long as Tianjin was captured.
At this juncture, Xie Zicheng, the magistrate of Tianjin, organized a militia group that hunted wild ducks into a musketry team, using platoon guns. defensive tactics, known as "duck row", and finally Later, they relied on "duck steak" to defeat the Taiping Army.
Therefore, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the people actually produced a large number of such workshop-style firearms.
Some people also used this type of weapon during the Red Army's Long March, but no matter how powerful it was, it was only half a weapon.
This guy from many centuries ago should have been regarded as an antique and sent to a museum by now.
But now there is no time to argue about whether this hunting gun is lethal.
A self-defense weapon is always better than two bare fists.
The four of them got as close as possible and fanned their sights towards the grassland.
The horses were still "chirping" Shivering, I looked ahead intently.
The grassland had a wide field of vision, the sky was blue, and the wild fields were vast.
However, except for the long wind caressing the grass, the sky above the field was empty, and I could not notice any unusual movement.
The quieter I felt, the more unsure I felt.
A whole herd of cattle suddenly disappeared on the grassland, and they disappeared so completely.
I felt that there seemed to be a mysterious force in the dark, which was beyond the power of human beings.
Seeing the horses so uneasy, Maybe that terrifying and mysterious force is approaching us, but we don't even know in which direction it is.
I have repeatedly asked myself what to do or fight or flee.
After thinking about it for a while, I can only wait and see what happens.
The rolling thoughts in my mind were suddenly interrupted by the mournful cry of wild geese in the sky.
I heard the cry of wild geese in the sky, and subconsciously raised my head to look up into the sky with the other three people.
I saw a row of herringbone geese in the sky.
Passing above us, migratory birds migrating in groups in autumn are a common sight on the grassland.
We didn't take it seriously, but in front of the flight path of this row of wild geese, There happened to be a black cloud hanging over the sky.
The cloud was so thick that it looked a bit like the mushroom cloud from an atomic bomb explosion.
However, it was much smaller and had a different color.
It is quite common on the grassland, and it is not easy to attract attention unless you look carefully. , clouds hang straight down from high in the sky.
This is a kind of cloud called "Tianhang".
When experienced shepherds see this kind of cloud, they know that there will be rain and snow recently.
When we looked up, the flying geese formation just cut into the clouds.
Because the herringbone formation was very long, there were a few geese around the formation that had not yet approached the clouds.
With a few tragic geese calls in the clouds, the last few geese The geese dispersed and fled backwards like a startled giant.
When we saw this situation, we immediately had a sudden thought in our hearts: "Oh my god, there is something in that cloud."
Lao Yangpi hugged his head and exclaimed, "Oh my God, the demon!"
The dragon hides his talents in the clouds.
There seemed to be a strong wind blowing high in the sky, and the thick clouds "hanging from the sky" quickly dispersed into silk tile shapes.

The blue sky and red sun were particularly clear.
There was nothing in the clouds, and the escaping flying geese were still far away.
Wailing, the geese that had just flown into the clouds seemed to have evaporated into the clouds, leaving not even a single feather on them.
We were dumbfounded.
If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, who would have believed the horrific scene just now.
At this time, the sunlight falling from the sky seemed to have dimmed in an instant, but to our eyes, the sky was still blue and white with white clouds.
There was nothing that shouldn't be there, but the horse immediately became panicked again.
Since we all reined the horse back in order to hold the horse, the horse knew that the owner did not issue a running command and was just circling in place, but it could not be reined in no matter what.
Wouldn't stop.
Just when I didn't know how to advance or retreat, I suddenly felt like my eardrums were swollen, and I felt bad, that thing in the sky was coming towards us.
Lao Yangpi also reacted, swung his riding crop and slapped our horses on the rear.
Everyone knew that they couldn't run anymore, so they all clapped their stirrups to urge the horses: "Run, run quickly."
The four horses finally got free and took us rushing to the back of the grass slope.
The most fearful thing about riding horses is going down the steep slope.
It is easy for the horses to stumble.
But at this time, no one can control so much.
No one needs to rush, the horses will He ran as fast as he could, with only the whistling wind in his ears.
The horses only pick up low-lying areas to escape, and they always gallop between the undulating grass hills.
We know that horses are much more sensitive to danger than humans.
We don't need to ask for the reason, just lie on the saddle and let the military horse take the lead.
Just let us escape.
In the midst of my busy schedule, I didn't forget to look back behind me.
I saw the autumn wind creating waves on the sea of grass.
The sky was high and the clouds were light, and there was nothing behind me.
After running for about two or three miles at a stretch, the four horses slowed down and their moods recovered from their panic.
It seemed that they were out of danger.
We reined in the reins and stopped, looking back.
No one could tell.
What exactly did Qing Qing encounter just now?
But the missing cattle may have been inexplicably swallowed up by something invisible and invisible like those wild geese that flew into the clouds.
I asked Lao Yangpi, the last time he said he saw a dragon in the depths of the grassland decades ago, if it was the same as what we just encountered.
Lao Yangpi had a blank expression on his face, and he said that the situation was completely different that time.
The next time was at dusk, I saw a ferocious dragon in the sky, its whole body was pitch black, it was like a terrifying ghost.
But it was not like the clear day just now, when so many creatures disappeared without a word, this was really a ghost.
Everyone discussed randomly for a few words, but they were unable to come up with anything.
No one could explain the reason.
Ding Sitian's parents are both museum managers.
She has been exposed to it since she was a child.
Among us, she has the broadest knowledge. , but even she had never heard of this phenomenon.
She just talked about it in the world.
There are so many shocking and terrifying natural phenomena in the world.
Human beings only see the world as a small thing, and how can they clearly understand the mysteries?
However, whether we look at the current situation from the perspective of materialism, idealism, or criticism, Most of our grazing cattle will never be found again.
Just as Ding Sitian was lamenting the fate, I suddenly noticed the desolate grass in the mountain valley not far away, and there were signs of fox ghosts.
I thought to myself that I was just running away, where did I escape to?

I quickly asked Lao Yangpi to look at the terrain. , where is this?
Lao Yangpi calmed down, turned his horse's head and looked around, his expression suddenly became nervous.
He looked at the mountain col and said, he must have done evil in his previous life, why did we just run into the "Hundred Eyes" cave":
