Chapter 66 Times have changed
Bai Ou had nothing to do, so he counted on his fingers.
There are quite a lot of people who don't go to high school in Beijing.
And they are scattered irregularly in various urban areas of Beijing.
You can't go to every school. Not only will it be tiring, but it will also waste time.
He was just like a special forces college student rushing to a show. After meeting one person, he rushed to see the next one.
It seemed like I met everyone, but I didn't talk to any of them.
So we just made an appointment, found a place, and gathered everyone together!
After much selection, we finally decided on the shooting range in the Second Military District of Jingli, and we all went there to play with guns together.
The men and women who grew up in the compound grew up listening to stories about their grandparents and great-grandfathers fighting on the battlefield, and there is no one who does not love guns.
The blood of our ancestors runs in our bones. Even though the turbulent years have passed and we are now living in a peaceful and stable life, the passion and excitement that comes with it, like a switch in our blood awakening, cannot be dispelled or erased.
Our parents may have grown up touching guns, shooting rabbits and birds, and became good marksman.
But this generation who have lived in large courtyards in Beijing since childhood did not live through such a good time. In a society ruled by law, every gun and bullet is numbered and recorded in the archives. How could they be taken out and played with casually?
Some who had the means when they were young could only follow the older generation with envy on their faces, looking for opportunities to make them happy and touch them a few times to satisfy their desire.
When I am old enough, I can take a car to the shooting range by myself to have a good time and make up for the regrets of my childhood.
Therefore, when Bai Ou asked people to meet at the shooting range, everyone was very enthusiastic.
Besides, this is Young Master Bai’s place, so we must give him enough face!
That morning, Bai Yuan put on a snow-white long woolen coat, a hat, and gloves, and waited at the door for her cousin to ask someone to drive the car over.
When little Bai Shun heard that his older cousin and sister were going to the shooting range together, he felt a little envious and wanted to go with them.
"Sister, can you take me with you?"
The child's eyes were bright and full of anticipation.
Bai Yuan glanced at him calmly, put one hand in his pocket, and asked, "Have you finished your homework?"
Bai Falcon:......
Bai Yuan: "Not going to write?"
Bai Xun: “…Hey!”
The child ran upstairs, and came downstairs after a while with a pencil in his hand.
Bai Xun: "Sister, can I go after I finish writing?"
Bai Yuan: "You are not allowed to enter the shooting range if you are under ten years old."
Bai Falcon:......
After the car entered the Bai family's yard, Bai Ou came over to take Bai Yuan into the car.
There were some snowflakes in the sky.
Because the shooting range is in the Second Military District, which is outside the Jingli compound, a car is needed for travel, and one cannot just walk there and back like before.
The car is a modified military product, which is shock-absorbing, bullet-proof and comfortable. There is a sign with black letters on a white background and a red head on the front of the car. Looking at the string of numbers, once you drive out, the whole Beijing is basically unobstructed.
As soon as they got in the car, Bai Ou helped her take off her hat, and while holding Bai Yuan's hand, he talked to the driver in front.
"Brother Liu! Look at my little sister!"
When the driver turned around, Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment. He felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen him.
The driver turned around, raised his hand and pulled his sunglasses down a little, looked at Bai Yuan, and raised his hand, "Hello, little friend, do you still remember me? I held you in my arms when you were a child!"
Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was searching for a list of people in his mind.
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Brother Liu didn't mind. He pushed his sunglasses back up and smiled even more: "Haha, it's a good thing that you don't remember. How old were you then? It's normal! Normal!"
Seven or eight years have passed since Bai Yuan was abducted by human traffickers and then intercepted and rescued at the entrance of Haikou Expressway. The little girl who unfastened her seat belt by herself and climbed out of the van with the help of a dog's mouth is now half a year old and is about to graduate from elementary school.
Bai Ou put his arm around Bai Yuan's neck and said to her with a smile, "This is Brother Liu! The North District's driving god, his driving skills are amazing - his driving skills are amazing, haha, Brother Liu, please go to District 2 and do a series of big drifts for my little sister later!"
Bai Yuan then called out for someone.
Brother Liu was immediately happy, and stretched out his arms to rub Bai Yuan's head vigorously a few times, "Okay, Ouzi, fasten the seat belt for your little sister."
When they arrived at the shooting range and entered the room, many people had already arrived. When they saw Bai Ou leading Bai Yuan in, they all greeted them with smiles.
"Master Bai, and our little sister, long time no see!"
Bai Ou was very happy to see his good brothers whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He opened his arms and rushed up to them one by one, putting his arms around their shoulders and hugging them, making them scream.
Song Yanming was still standing not far away, not moving into the crowded area. He waited until Bai Ou had given him a bear hug and the warmth had worn off before he slowly walked forward.
"How come?"
Bai Ou turned around and was looking for him. When he saw him, he took a few quick steps forward, and considering the other party's mysophobia, he raised his hand and bumped fists with him as he did before.
"Song Yanming! Good brother!"
Song Yanming also raised his hand and touched him.
"Brothers!"
Who knew that Bai Ou was such a bad guy. After bumping fists, he directly pulled the man's arm back, almost pulling Song Yanming's arm off the buckle. Then he gave him a bear hug as well, almost strangling him to death.
When Song Yanming finally caught his breath, he found that Bai Ou was covered in snow from outside, which had melted when he came into the house and was a little wet, and it got all over him.
"You fucking——" Song Yanming's face suddenly turned dark, and he wished he could go back to the kindergarten in the compound with Bai Ou to face off against each other to fight to the death.
“Hahahahahaha!” Bai Ou jumped away and rushed behind him, hugging Zhou Sheng like a beast in a trap, “Brother Zhou! Are you still alive?”
Zhou Sheng was also strangled and screamed: "Bai, Baiou! Be gentle! Don't squeeze the milk in my pocket!"
There was a group of teenagers making a lot of noise over there.
Here, Qin Lingzheng has found Bai Yuan and is taking her to the shooting range.
Because he heard that Bai Yuan was coming to learn how to shoot, Qin Lingzheng did nothing else for the past few days but spent every day in the shooting range studying hard. Finally, he was able to go from hitting the target three times and missing five times at the beginning to hitting all the targets within nine rings.
Just waiting to show off my skills in front of her.
In the crowd, he saw Bai Yuan standing alone at a glance, which was out of tune with the casual and warm atmosphere around her. The light from the ceiling shone on her snow-white wool coat, as if covering her entire body with a layer of ethereal mist, making her seem close yet distant, like a fantasy or a dream.
When I got closer, I found that Bai Yuan actually had a faint smile on his face. The lingering silence between his eyebrows had quietly melted away at some point, and his eyes were flashing with stardust-like light, fragmented and dotted.
Qin Lingzheng was now about two meters away. He watched quietly for a while. He didn't know when a warmth surged in his chest. With the beating of his heart, it was transmitted to all parts of his body. He relaxed and forgot to move for a moment.
When Bai Yuan noticed someone approaching, she turned her head to look at him. The faint smile in her eyes and the fragmented light startled Qin Lingzheng and his heart skipped a beat.
These days, Bai Yuan was led by Bai Ou, and now she stretched out her hand towards Qin Lingzheng out of inertia, with the five fingers on her thin woolen gloves slightly open, indicating that she was in a state of being unguarded, cozy and comfortable.
"Let's go."
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile, and she put away all the sharpness she usually showed, revealing a little bit of herself that was wrapped in a calm temperament, showing it to him.
Qin Lingzheng's mind went blank, and he somehow held her hand, nodded, and pulled her forward.
After walking for a while, his thoughts suddenly came back to his mind, and they kept running through his mind like a kaleidoscope for a long time. Finally, he hid his chin in the collar of his coat, and held Bai Yuan's hand with a little more force, holding it tightly in his palm.
The two of them walked forward in silence. Although the shooting range was large, it was not without end.
As they were about to reach the shooting range, Qin Lingzheng suddenly had an idea and without stopping, he pulled Bai Yuan straight forward and walked around the shooting range in a full circle.
When they passed the target again, he quickened his pace, passed by it, and walked around with Bai Yuan.
During the first lap, Bai Yuan thought the shooting range was too big and Qin Lingzheng wanted to take her to the area next to it, so she didn't let him hold her hand and walked forward together.
During the second round, Bai Yuan thought that it was his first time here and the decoration styles of the buildings were too similar, so he got lost and couldn't find the place, so he was still patient.
But then on the third round...
Bai Yuan raised his foot and kicked him on the butt, almost knocking Qin Lingzheng to the ground.
She withdrew her hand, put it back into her pocket along with the gloves, and looked at Qin Lingzheng coldly.
"Take me as a fool?"
After being beaten, Qin Lingzheng became obedient. He said awkwardly, "Hahahaha, I dare not! Please come this way~"
