1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 122 Shooting, Watching the Beautiful Girl Make a Fool
"No wonder you're at the shooting range right now!"

Fu Zheng laughed in exasperation: "I thought you came for my sake, but it turns out you're here to keep the pretty girls company."

"You're wrong about that."

Yang Yong laughed awkwardly: "I did come for the beautiful woman, but not the one you're talking about. You are the son-in-law that the division commander prefers. I know my place and don't dare to get in his way."

"Heh, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve."

Fu Zheng ignored the daughter of a certain division commander and joked with him, "Tell me honestly, which beauty have you taken a fancy to? Why are you deliberately skipping training and just standing here?"

"Didn't you say there was a particularly interesting little girl among the people coming today?"

Yang Yong, steeling himself, pretended not to see Julie's murderous glare and continued to stand there, acting as a giant third wheel: "The one who cried the moment she saw you during the documentary filming."

"I'm warning you, that's my brother's girlfriend."

Fu Zheng's expression turned cold and stern: "Don't cause any trouble when you get here. If you scare the little girl to tears, I won't let you off the hook."

"That's no fun when you say that."

Yang Yong brazenly defended himself, showing no embarrassment at having his intentions exposed: "That young girl is so delicate, why would I scare her? At most, it'll happen during shooting."

"Brother Zheng, we're here."

He was interrupted by cheers from the boys and girls before he could finish his sentence.

Wang Fan rode his bicycle at the forefront, followed closely by Li Liang. Wu Meng and Lin Xiyu, a pair of beautiful young sisters, stood out among them.

"Hey, this is getting interesting, there's more than one beautiful woman here."

Yang Yong's eyes lit up, and he grinned broadly.

Fu Zheng gave him a sharp rap on the head: "Stop acting like that infatuated girl and don't embarrass the company."

Yang Yong immediately stopped smiling, straightened his back, and stood at attention.

"That's it, stand still."

Fu Zheng smiled playfully, raised his arm, and waved to the boys and girls.

"Who are they?"

Julie glared at him with displeasure, her gaze towards Lin Xiyu and Wu Meng filled with vigilance.

"It's time for you to go."

Fu Zheng bluntly told him to leave: "Don't try to use such tricks again. I don't like feeling like I'm being watched. Don't think that just because you have a teacher protecting you, you can do whatever you want."

"Fu Zheng, you think too highly of yourself."

Julie's pretty face flushed bright red: "You think I had someone spy on you and deliberately followed you here?"

"Is not it?"

Fu Zheng retorted impatiently, "I just finished training and drove here from the tarmac, and you just happened to show up here. Do you really believe it's a coincidence?"

Believe it or not, it's just a coincidence.

Julie, seething with anger, walked toward the target.

"Hey, little miss, she's actually shooting?"

Yang Yong was terrified and secretly gave a wink to one of the soldiers he had brought with him.

Upon receiving the order, the soldier hurriedly ran over and squatted down in front of the target.

Automatic rifles, already prepared for shooting, were placed at the target position.

Julie lay prone on the ground, loading bullets.

She was a communications soldier, and her daily physical training included shooting. Although she didn't shoot often, she knew the basic techniques.

Seeing that her movements were fairly skilled, the soldiers did not interfere much.

Julie loaded the bullets, aimed, and fired.

"Bang bang bang."

After five piercing gunshots, the soldier responsible for checking the targets crawled out of the shell trench, waved the flag in his hand, and reported the news to the other side.

"All five shots hit the target."

Yang Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and flattered her with a fawning smile: "The division commander's daughter is indeed different. Her marksmanship is truly divine."

The soldier crouching in front of the target twitched at the corner of his mouth.

It's good that all five shots hit the target, but none of the five bullet holes are in the exact center, so it can only be considered that none of them missed the target.

The claims about him being a sharpshooter are really exaggerated.

-

Julie, unaware of the soldier's ulterior motives, got up from the ground and defiantly raised her chin at Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng is a pilot with 2.0 vision; how could he not see the location of the bullet hole?

He scoffed dismissively and looked away.

Seeing that he still ignored her, Julie had nowhere to vent her anger, so she turned it all on Li Yong: "Company Commander Li, is this a military area that anyone can just walk into? Guns have no eyes, be careful the bullets don't hit your own people."

"Cough cough."

Yang Yong was once again caught in the crossfire, his resentful eyes constantly darting towards Fu Zheng.

Ignore her.

Fu Zheng pretended not to see and waved to the boys and girls: "Come here, each of you, fire three bullets."

"Yay, it's finally our turn."

The boys and girls were very supportive, rushing over one after another.

"Wait a minute"

Yang Yong instantly got into character, straightened his back, and adopted the posture of an instructor: "Before shooting, do a few warm-up exercises, lie down on the spot, and crawl forward."

"Huh, why do I have to lie down?"

"Crawl across the ground?"

The boys and girls stopped abruptly, somewhat dumbfounded.

"Yes."

Yang Yong suppressed a laugh and deliberately teased them: "If you come to the military camp for training, you have to follow our rules. You must do warm-up exercises before shooting, and crawling is a must."

Why didn't she climb?

Wu Meng glanced at Julie with a hint of resentment.

"Can you compare to me?"

Julie saw through Li Yong's intentions and assumed he was standing up for her, so she raised her eyebrows smugly.

"Alright, that's enough."

Li Liang didn't want to cause trouble, so he gave Wu Meng a reassuring look: "It's just crawling forward, right? It's not that far, we can just crawl over there."

"I'll go first."

Wang Fan didn't want to lose face in front of the beautiful woman, so he deliberately showed off.

He usually pays attention to exercise, often swimming and playing basketball. Although he is a bit carefree and unreliable, his physical fitness is excellent and his coordination is also very good.

The distance between the standing position and the target is no more than three meters.

He didn't mind getting dirty; he lay down on the ground and crawled forward, mimicking the movements of soldiers during training. In no time, he arrived at the target position.

"Brother Fan, that's awesome!"

Xu Yi's eyes sparkled, revealing a look of adoration.

"next."

Yang Yong stroked his chin and nodded with some satisfaction.

"I come."

Li Liang's competitive spirit was aroused by Wang Fan, and he was unwilling to let Wang Fan steal the spotlight.

He aspired to be a soldier since childhood and paid more attention to physical training. The three-meter distance was like a game to him and he didn't care about it at all.

"This kid is pretty tall."

Yang Yong straightened his back, but he was still more than a head shorter than him.

Being from Guangxi and serving in the army in Shandong was definitely a tough experience.

"Okay."

Li Liang didn't think much of it and told the truth: "I'm not the tallest in my class. There are several others who are 1.9 meters tall."

Yang Yong: "."

It feels like I've been stabbed in the heart again.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

Wang Fan was eager to shoot and urged him on.

Without saying anything more, Li Liang lay down on the ground and nimbly crawled over.

"It's my turn next."

Gu Bin trained with his older brother from a young age, and physical training was a daily routine for him.

His crawling posture was not only standard but also very smooth, making it a particularly pleasing sight to behold.

"Not bad."

Even if Li Yong was deliberately playing tricks on them, he had to admit that this kid was born to be a soldier.

"Do we have to climb too?"

Seeing that the three boys had all gone past, leaving them behind, Wu Meng looked on with a resentful expression.

"necessary."

The main event was about to begin. Li Yong, sly and mischievous, was waiting to see the spectacle unfold. "Xiao Yi."

Lin Xiyu looked at her younger brother with concern: "Have you learned the crawling posture?"

"I think it should be okay."

Xu Yi touched his nose, not entirely confidently.

"How about I go first, sister?"

Lin Xiyu tentatively asked, "Would you like to look at it one more time?"

"No."

Before Xu Yi could answer, Wu Meng blurted out, "You've all gone over there, leaving me all alone. I'm even more nervous now."

"I'd better do it first."

Xu Yi straightened his back like an adult: "Sister, stay and keep Meng-jie company."

"So nice."

Lin Xiyu patted his little head affectionately and made an encouraging gesture: "Go for it, I believe in you, you can do it."

"hey-hey."

Xu Yi was quick-witted; he nimbly squatted down and crawled forward using both hands and feet.

He is small but very agile. Although his movements are not standard, he is very fast.

With a few quick scrambles and its little bottom sticking up, it crawled over in no time.

"Hahaha."

The soldiers watching were amused by the little guy's quirky pose.

Wu Meng blushed and her heart pounded, as if she could see herself making a fool of herself.

"Mengmeng, don't be nervous."

Lin Xiyu quietly gave her some advice: "If you really can't climb over, just stand up and run over. Do you think they can stop you?"

"What if they really try to stop us?"

Wu Meng glanced at a company commander who was grinning broadly and said with unease, "I think he's deliberately messing with us and wants to see us make a fool of ourselves."

I think so too.

Lin Xiyu had already figured it out, but because Du Zheng was there, she didn't dare to refute him: "But Brother Zheng didn't say anything and tacitly approved of them doing this, so we can only be forced to do it and give it our all."

"This is all men's perverse sense of humor, making fun of women."

Wu Meng glared at the instigator with a cold look in her eyes, which held a hint of lingering resentment.

"Ah."

Yang Yong suddenly felt a chill on his back, covered his nose and sneezed.

Are you two up to the task?

Fu Zheng found it amusing and finally spoke up to help her two best friends, saying, "If it's not okay, then forget it. It doesn't look good for girls to lie on the ground and get their clothes dirty."

"Brother Zheng, you're the best."

Wu Meng breathed a sigh of relief and was so happy that she ran over, hugged Fu Zheng, and spun him around halfway.

Julie's face darkened instantly, and she looked at Wu Meng with venomous resentment.

"You two hurry up and go over there, Xiaobin and the others are getting impatient."

Fu Zheng knew she hadn't meant it, and he felt no romantic feelings whatsoever.

"Uh-huh."

"Thank you, Brother Zheng."

Wu Meng and Lin Xiyu agreed in unison and happily ran towards the target position.

"Hey, let them go."

Yang Yong, having missed the show, smacked his lips a few times in disappointment.

"if not?"

Fu Zheng smiled and reminded him, "If you really dare to make them cry, my brother will dare to make you cry. Xiao Bin's temper is not to be trifled with. He doesn't even need to lift a finger; just by using his brain, he can make you suffer to the point of death."

"Cough cough."

Yang Yong glanced away, feeling a little guilty.

"Okay, let's get started."

Fu Zheng gave him the order: "Three bullets per person. Stay where you are until everyone has finished firing."

"Yes."

The boys and girls answered in unison.

The soldiers responsible for teaching them how to shoot came to the target one by one and helped them load the bullets.

Lin Xiyu was very excited, staring wide-eyed at the soldiers' movements.

"Are you scared?"

The soldier in charge of teaching her was secretly pleased, chatting happily with the beautiful woman.

"Not afraid."

Lin Xiyu was eager to try.

"Rifles have a strong impact, so don't press too closely against the shoulder when firing."

The soldier patiently explained and demonstrated to her: "Otherwise, after three shots, the delicate girl's shoulder might hurt."

"understood."

Lin Xiyu nodded humbly, though she didn't admit to herself that she was delicate.

"boom."

The sharp sound of gunfire rang in his ears. Gu Bin was ready and fired the first bullet.

"Hiss, that's loud."

Lin Xiyu's ears hurt from the vibration.

Wu Meng, who was next to her, also instinctively covered her ears.

"hehe."

The soldiers loading bullets for the two men found it amusing, grinning and chuckling.

"bang bang bang"

Wang Fan and Li Liang also fired their bullets one after another.

Not to be outdone, Xu Yi fired the first shot.

"It's our turn."

Lin Xiyu excitedly stretched out her finger and hooked the trigger.

"When aiming, don't use one eye, as this easily leads to deviation. The correct way is to aim with both eyes. For your first shot, don't aim for precision; just make sure you don't miss and hit the target."

The soldier squatting beside her was quite satisfied with his nominal apprentice and patiently taught her.

"Uh-huh."

Lin Xiyu was also very helpful, opening her eyes wide to aim at the target and pulling the trigger.

"boom."

With a piercing gunshot, the bullet whistled through the air and pierced the target.

"Very good, that's it."

The soldiers were delighted and showered them with praise.

Meanwhile, the soldiers who were instructing Wu Meng were not in such a good mood.

He wanted to teach her seriously, but the beautiful woman was too nervous.

His fingers trembled and he weakly hooked the trigger, making his heart pound.

"Bang bang bang."

Another series of gunshots rang out. The boys had already fired three shots, but his apprentice hadn't even fired the first one yet.

The soldier couldn't bear to look and helplessly covered his face with his hands.

"I'll teach her."

Fu Zheng came up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes."

The soldiers had no objections and quickly made way.

"Brother Zheng?"

Wu Meng blushed when she saw it was him.

It's not shame, it's embarrassment.

"I don't know why, but my fingers just kept trembling uncontrollably."

She awkwardly tried to explain, but without paying attention, her wrist twisted and the gun barrel suddenly veered off course.

"Be careful."

A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.

Fu Zheng reacted quickly, grabbing her hand and turning the gun back.

"Xu."

The soldier patted his still-shaken heart and let out a long sigh: "Young lady, don't get distracted. On the shooting range, if the muzzle goes astray, it's no small matter; it can really kill you."
