Chapter 59: Neither a hero nor a coward

Views:

A lion will never roar to demonstrate during a hunting operation. Instead, when the lion king is competing for supremacy, he will definitely rely on roaring to strengthen his reputation.

It's the same for people. The more guilty you feel, the more you need to stay calm, steady your mind, and see the situation clearly before taking action.

Li Muye is not 100% sure that his brother-in-law Timov is reliable. The situation is complicated. At this time, it is undoubtedly stupid and risky to take Timov as an absolutely trustworthy person.

Chu Qinchuan expressed his appreciation for Li Muye's maturity and said: "You are right to be cautious. Judging from the reaction of the police station, this matter must have been approved by some senior officials in the internal affairs department. At this stage, The conflict between us and Charmov has not yet been made public. There are too many uncertain factors at this time. We should tell the story about Charmov without any basis, just in case Timov is not as worthy as we hope. Trust us, we really have no way out."

Li Muye noticed that he used the word "we", which should be regarded as an endorsement of himself. This old man seems to be modest and elegant, but in fact he has always been a bit arrogant. I feel like an old scholar who is entrusted to teach other people's naughty children. There is always a mocking smile on his face, his eyes are high and there is a deep sense of generation gap and estrangement in his words. But this time, he spoke with a serious expression, his eyes were level, and his words conveyed an acknowledgment that even though he was a brat, he could be complicit.

"Boss, your marksmanship is really bad." Chu Qinchuan suddenly said something completely unrelated to the previous topic: "In Russia, a land that worships power, even if you just want to be a serious businessman, , once you reach this level, you must master some means of self-protection.”

"I have received some training. I am not particularly outstanding, but I am not without the ability to protect myself." Li Muye said: "This kind of thing is just a child's skill. One of my elder brothers said that my upper limit is only so high." ”

"From a professional point of view, Chen Binghui is right." Chu Qinchuan said: "But this does not become a reason for you to give up improving your own abilities. I don't expect you to develop skills like Jin Doxun, but at least you can still do it now. You have not reached the so-called upper limit, so before leaving for Kiev, I will give you a few days of surprise training on your marksmanship."

"Assault training?" Li Muye was a little disdainful: "Is it still the same as hanging bricks?"

Chu Qinchuan chuckled: "If my level is the same as those mediocre people, how can I be embarrassed to take your monthly salary of 10,000 US dollars?"

"Don't be polite." When it came to money, Li Muye became more energetic and said solemnly: "On the contrary, I think you took too little. You must know that Andre and Bai Peng both enjoyed five dollars." A monthly salary of 10,000 US dollars."

Chu Qinchuan said: "I don't need so much money at my age. I have a pension and the salary you give me, which is enough to support my family." He added: "The most important quality of people who do great things is to know the principle of sharing. No. Missing out on talents because of small profits, Andrei has a flexible mind, is proficient in both languages, and is familiar with Russia's political and economic environment. He is actually a very good talent. Bai Peng's greatest advantage is that he maintains absolute respect for you. Although he is greedy for money, he has Self-awareness, that loyalty alone is worth the salary.”

Li Muye smiled and said, "You've already said it, what else can I say? What I'm most curious about right now is how you plan to train me unexpectedly?"

"Have you ever hunted?" Chu Qinchuan asked.

Li Muye shook his head and said: "I played in Hulunbuir once. I was afraid of showing my timidity. It was all done by Brother Hui."

Chu Qinchuan said: "Marksmanship practice is not high-tech. When a person has fully mastered the technical essentials but still cannot hit the target with perfect accuracy, then there is only one problem left, which is the psychological barrier. To put it simply, it is the lack of confidence in using firearms to shoot targets. This action creates fear or doubt, which leads to a momentary hesitation when firing, thus missing the correct shooting opportunity. The best way to overcome this psychological barrier is a life-or-death contest."

"By hunting?" Li Muye was a little doubtful.

Chu Qinchuan nodded and asked, "Have you ever seen an adult wild boar?"

Three days later, at dusk, we were in a farm deep in Sparrow Mountain.

"Shoot!" Chu Qinchuan's cry resounded in his ears. Li Muye was blindfolded. In addition to Chu Qinchuan's voice, he also heard the rapid sound of pig's trotters trampling on the snow and the wild boar. Heavy breathing.

One pig, two bears and three tigers.

The large wild boars raised in these farms are no less ferocious than the pure wild boars, but their huge bodies are even better.

This is the third day of special training for Li Muye. The wound on his left leg left during the first day of special training has not yet healed.

He was holding a 23 mm large-caliber flat-double shotgun in his hand. Chu Qinchuan said that this gun was specially designed to deal with the five African tyrants. The gun chamber was loaded with 32 pounds of heavy shotgun. When fired at a short distance, one shot was powerful enough. Kill an elephant instantly.

My ears have been paying attention to the sound of pig's trotters trampling on the snow, and I estimate the distance based on the experience of the past two days.

If the heart does not tremble, the hands will not tremble.

Some things are not something you want to do, but you must do them!

This was a test of life and death. There were two opportunities to shoot, but Li Muye had no intention of using the second shot.

Within thirty meters is the most suitable distance for this gun to exert its power, and it is also the most certain to hit. Li Muye judged the distance based on the loudness of the sound, and when he determined that the opportunity was right, he decisively pulled the trigger.

boom!

The large-caliber shotgun roared, and half of the wild boar's head was blown off. The body used the inertia to rush forward for more than ten meters and stopped less than five meters in front of Li Muye. Blood spurted out in the distance. Li Muye took off his blindfold and looked at the 300 kilogram beast in silence.

Chu Qinchuan said with satisfaction: "Very good, this is the twentieth one today, and it is also the last one in this special assault training. Now you have the instinct of a shooter. Remember that either you die or it dies." The feeling, whether it’s a wild boar or an enemy, you have no other choice when it comes to survival.”

Li Muye walked up to the wild boar carcass with his gun in hand. He stood there blankly for a long time and said, "Don't let this pile of good meat go to waste. Let the people on the farm take it back and roast it for dinner at night."

Chu Qinchuan said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to have such good luck today."

"What do you mean?" Li Muye frowned and said, "Are we about to leave now?"

Chu Qinchuan nodded: "Yes, the plane has been booked."

Li Muye sighed and nodded indifferently.

It has been two years since Chen Binghui worked undercover in a fraud group, met by chance, attracted Chen Miao's attention, and was selected by her to set foot on Russian soil. Life is like a wild horse that is out of control and difficult to control. For what I have lost, what I have now, and what I want to have in the future, even if I know that this Sino-Russian trade broker is not good, I can only bite the bullet and keep going.

The feeling of reluctance was unpleasant, and Li Muye's emotions were all reflected on his face.

"When I was your age, what I was most worried about was tomorrow's meal." Chu Qinchuan suddenly said: "At that time, the country was paying off debts, trying to catch up with the Premier League and the United States, flying satellites every day to brag, and the commune production team had no food. It was used to fill the cowhide pit. At that time, I was in the Second Machinery Department, and I was engaged in security work. Due to the shortage of food supply, the leader set up an experimental field to grow wheat. Later, the grain grew, but the leader was detained for this matter. It’s a sign that the roots of bourgeois ideology have not been completely eradicated.”

Li Muye was unsure of the purpose of his sudden words and looked at him in confusion.

Chu Qinchuan continued: "Although the leader was censored, we still got the food we wanted. Everyone filled their stomachs. Without saying anything, we were very grateful to the leader in our hearts. Our security team was responsible for supervising him. When I was working, I would always finish the work quietly for him. What I liked most at that time was chatting with him. It was so insightful! One time I asked him, why did you still do it even though you knew it would be like this? Do you want us to be allowed to grow our own food?”

He walked a few steps, found a stone to sit down, and continued: "The leader told me at that time that hungry people are not qualified to think about other problems, and as a leader, you must have the courage to be the first in the world. , someone had to do something, so he did it.”

Li Muye nodded slowly if he realized something.

Chu Qinchuan added: "This is an era that needs heroes, but there are some things that heroes can't do. That's why I can't gain a foothold here. Instead, it's you, the little bastard, who is thriving here. It is my limitation, it is also the limitation of a hero, and it is also the opportunity and stage for you to be the first in the world. Unless a man has no chance, he will never miss an opportunity to create his own era."

Li Muye said: "Originally I just wanted to be a qualified businessman, take some risks here and earn some money, and when I earn enough, I can go home and marry a wife." After saying this, he sighed, and then said : "But I didn't expect to be selected and become a communication channel between the two countries at a certain level. For the vast majority of ambitious businessmen, this is a good opportunity to make a lot of money in both directions. From this perspective, I You should be happy.”

Chu Qinchuan said: "You are not one of the vast majority, but you are more qualified than most ordinary businessmen to get this opportunity. I know what you are worried about is that even if you make enough money in the future, you may not be able to survive." Take this money and go back to beg a wife.”

Li Muye said: "This is the fact, I am not just guessing out of thin air." As he said this, he threw the shotgun in his hand to the ground angrily and said: "If there are no additional risks, why should I hold such a broken thing with the wild boar here? Gambling your life?" Pointing to the wound left by the little wild boar three days ago on his left leg, he continued: "You are a hero, and I am not a bear, but my ideals are different from yours. A person with lofty beliefs, but I have been abandoned by others since I was a child, and now I only have this little thought. If I died at Lao Cui's house that night, there wouldn't even be a person burning paper."

Chu Qinchuan said: "Child, I can understand your worries and pain, but I am just a retired old man who still has some residual enthusiasm. I can't do anything about the situation you are in. But in my opinion, you have no chance to look back. , no matter how many risks we have to face, we can only bite the bullet and go on, gradually becoming stronger, until we become a very important figure." He suddenly paused here and asked in a more serious tone: "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Sail against the current. If you don't advance, you will die. The only way is to give it a try." Li Muye's expression gradually became firm, "Kiev, I am ready!" (End of this chapter)
