After going up the mountain, we drove not long before arriving at a compound called the ‘Black Horse Mountain International Hunting Ground’.
After Zhu Xiaoyan directed me to stop the car, she went down to greet Li Liyang, and the two of them walked into the office building of the hunting ground while talking and laughing.
Li Liyang's bodyguard and I naturally followed. After a brief conversation, the hunting ground staff took them to choose shotguns.
When I saw all kinds of shotguns in the room, it was really eye-opening.
The staff at the hunting ground seemed to be very familiar with Zhu Xiaoyan. They didn't even sign any agreement before letting Zhu Xiaoyan pick out the shotgun.
What surprised me even more was that she shouted at me, asking me to pick one too.
I have never shot a gun. I did play with toy guns when I was a child, but I have never touched a real gun.
I also had very little knowledge about firearms. I didn’t even know how to choose, so I had to turn my inquiring eyes to Zhu Xiaoyan.
She directly picked one for me, handed it to me and said, "Just use this one. It's a double-barreled shotgun. It's easy for novices to use and it's not easy to explode."
Oh my God! When I heard the word "explosion", many scenes of gun explosion accidents popped into my mind.
I looked at Zhu Xiaoyan in embarrassment and said, "Sister Yan, let me forget it! I don't know how to shoot."
"If you don't know how, just learn. Is a grown man afraid of this?"
A blow, a pure blow.
What else can I say?
After selecting the shotgun, we were driven to the hunting ground by the hunting ground staff on a dune motorcycle.
This is a legal hunting ground, and all the animals in it are artificially bred, specially raised for the entertainment of these rich people.
It was an eye-opener for me to be able to play like this.
The base camp of the hunting ground is still quite far away from the center of hunting. It took us nearly an hour to reach the final destination by riding a sand motorcycle.
This place can really be considered a wilderness, surrounded by dense woods, and the sound of streams flowing in the valley can be heard. It is really the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Hunting is an exciting and thrilling sport, and those who participate in it are basically rich and powerful celebrities, or big bosses like Zhu Xiaoyan.
I heard from Zhu Xiaoyan that the members of this club are all over the country, and these people are all super wealthy and top rich.
The hunting club adopts a membership system, and you can have a lifetime membership by paying a membership fee of 500,000 yuan at a time. The club can only recruit a maximum of 500 members.
In addition to the fixed membership fee, every time a member visits the hunting ground, it must be calculated separately. Basically, one person will spend more than 10,000 yuan a day.
The club is responsible for the supply of prey and will raise tens of thousands of birds and animals for customers to hunt. All animals can be hunted as long as they are within the hunting grounds.
In the jungle in midsummer, you can see at a glance the lush mountains overlapping each other and stretching endlessly towards the sky.
The color gradually changes to dark blue, and finally becomes hazy.
Li Liyang's interest was very high. As soon as he arrived at the place, he picked up the shotgun and was eager to try.
Zhu Xiaoyan also took the shotgun and stepped forward, saying to Ma Liyang: "Mr. Li, I have long heard that Li's marksmanship is very good. You must show off your skills to us today!"
Li Liyang laughed and said boldly: "No problem, today I will show you what marksmanship is."
Zhu Xiaoyan answered the call again and said that she would do her best to be a host and accompany her throughout the whole process until Mr. Li returned home satisfied.
This is the first time since I have known Zhu Xiaoyan that I have seen her respect someone so much. I guess this Li Liyang is indeed not an ordinary person.
After completing some preparations, the staff put us in various self-defense equipment, including some first aid items, and also equipped us with two satellite phones.
Once everything is ready, you can start hunting.
Li Liyang took the lead and walked at the front, while I followed closely behind Zhu Xiaoyan, holding a shotgun.
After not walking far, we saw a pheasant flying over with a cluck, and everyone suddenly became excited.
I am also excited. I have never hunted before, but men are born to love hunting. This is the blood engraved in their bones.
Like a big hand, Li Liyang made a gesture to keep us quiet, and then whispered: "Don't move, look at me!"
As he spoke, he handsomely pulled out his shotgun, raised it and pointed it at the pheasant. With a "bang" sound, the night pheasant fell to the ground.
"Good marksmanship, Mr. Li has such good marksmanship!" Zhu Xiaoyan was the first to praise.
I thought to myself that this witch also has her moments of praise!
Okay, I will shoot a wild boar for you later. I am also gearing up and want to show off my skills in front of Zhu Xiaoyan.
The staff of the hunting ground also sent special hunting dogs to us. Li Liyang waved his arm and said "Go".
In just a moment, the hunting dog ran over quickly and picked up the hunted pheasant.
As we continued walking forward, pheasants, birds, hares and other birds and animals kept coming into our sight.
Except for me who didn't hit anything in the group, all three of them had something to gain, and I didn't even fire a gun.
It's not that I don't dare to shoot, it's that I'm afraid of missing a target and being embarrassed.
After all, it was my first time, so how could I compare with regulars like them?
However, I was still ridiculed by Zhu Xiaoyan, saying that if he had known better, he would not have brought me here.
He also said that he brought me here because he didn't know how to hunt, so he wouldn't steal Li Liyang's limelight, but in the end he didn't even dare to fire the gun, saying that I was embarrassed.
I was quite frustrated, but Li Liyang asked me very friendly: "Why doesn't this little brother like hunting?"
Zhu Xiaoyan answered: "Mr. Li, he is my driver, and he is responsible for driving for me today."
Li Liyang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. How can a man not love hunting? Just like there is no man in the world who doesn't love beautiful women, you can rest assured and it doesn't matter."
I answered quite honestly: "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry. This is my first time hunting. I don't have much experience."
Instead of laughing at me, Li Liyang patted me on the shoulder and said to me: "It doesn't matter. There is a first time for everything. There are many firsts in life. You must dare to try. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. The first time is always the first time.
It takes courage."
I think what Li Liyang said is right, and I also feel that Ma Liyang is a good person. At least the first impression he gave me was a good one.
Not only that, he also explained to me the essentials of shooting. He said that shooting is actually very simple, just grasp the three points and one line.
Because there will be backlash when shooting, when aiming at the target, aim at the lower third of the target, so as to offset shooting errors caused by backlash.
He teaches very patiently, but in fact, beneath his cold and aloof appearance, he hides a passionate and friendly heart.
This is much better than the witch Zhu Xiaoyan, who only knows how to attack me and blames me for embarrassing her.
Under Li Liyang's guidance, I finally fired the first shot, and then I fired the second shot, and the third shot
However, these three shots were all ineffective shots. They did not hit any targets. Instead, they drove away some prey. Instead, Zhu Xiaoyan scolded them.
At this moment, Li Liyang suddenly became cautious and whispered: "Hush, everyone, please keep your voice down, what is that?"
Everyone fell silent and looked in the direction Li Liyang pointed.
In a bush a few dozen meters in front of us, a dark thing was eating on the ground.
