75 You Need to Pay the Price to Get What You Want

“Du Yue, get out of the truck first. It’s inconvenient to move around in the truck, and it’s too obvious. It’ll be troublesome if it goes crazy and damages the truck,” He Xing explained calmly. Du Yue had no objection to this, so she opened the door and got out of the truck.

The snow on the ground had already reached her waist. Du Yue stood in the snow that was half the height of a human and watched as the wild boar slowly approached her. It was not as fast as before. It was as if he was enjoying the pleasure of catching prey.

Du Yue did not dare to hesitate. She immediately ran to the side. He Xing ran even faster in the opposite direction of Du Yue. As he ran, he instructed her, “Don’t fight it in close combat. Shoot if you can. Climb up the tree immediately if you find an opportunity!” Now that they were surrounded by ice and snow, the snow was thick, and their mobility was much worse than that of the wild boar. In this situation, if they recklessly fought the wild boar in close combat, the two of them would probably become its food.

Of course, Du Yue knew this. “Alright. You be careful too.” The two of them ran in opposite directions. The moment the wild boar ran in front of them, they both ran to a big tree. However, they were wearing very thick clothes, and it would be very difficult for them to climb up the trees before the wild boars reached them.

Du Yue looked at the big tree in front of her and considered it for two seconds. Then, she decided to give up. Du Yue quickly turned around, raised the gun, and aimed at the wild boar. However, Du Yue had never used a gun before, so she was not very familiar with shooting stationary objects, let alone a wild boar that was running wildly. The bullet grazed past the boar’s body and finally hit a tree with a bang.

The boar was still hesitating about which one of them to kill first, but because Du Yue fired the first shot, it immediately changed its direction and charged toward Du Yue. Seeing this, He Xing placed his finger on the trigger and was about to shoot.

However, before he could pull the trigger, Du Yue fired a few shots without hesitation. The sound of her shots echoed throughout the valley. Even though Du Yue’s marksmans.h.i.+p was not accurate, the wild boar was a big target. Moreover, she had fired several shots, so a few definitely met their target. The wild boar howled in pain, and its huge body fell into the snow, sliding a few meters away.

Coincidentally, the wild boar was gliding toward He Xing’s position. “He Xing! Be careful!” He Xing nodded at Du Yue, indicating for her not to worry. Then, he raised his gun and pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

A bullet flew out and directly pierced through the head of the wild boar. The wild boar that was still howling in pain just now completely stopped moving after a few m.u.f.fled groans. It was less than three meters away from He Xing when it stopped.

He Xing waved at Du Yue. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Du Yue also knew that he was fine. She had seen He Xing’s shot clearly. Not only was his movement clean and swift, but it was also very accurate. Judging from his marksmans.h.i.+p, he must have undergone professional and systematic training.

Du Yue inched toward He Xing, stepping on the thick snow. “You’re such a good marksman!”

He Xing nodded and said in a flat tone, “Well, don’t I sell weapons? I know more about these things. Otherwise, I can’t introduce them well to my customers.” He Xing did not sound proud at all when he said this. It was like he was simply stating a fact.

“How can I be as accurate as you?”

He Xing smiled. “Just practice shooting living things. You don’t have a chance to practice at the base. You can use this opportunity to practice more. Our truck can’t go fast anyway. Later, when I drive, you can find some small animals to test out your shooting skills on.”

Du Yue actually knew that there was no other way to improve her marksmans.h.i.+p except to practice more. However, every bullet that was fired was equivalent to five grams of gold! She did not know how much shooting practice she would have to go through before she could be as fast, accurate, and ruthless as He Xing.

However, Du Yue also knew that no matter how expensive bullets were, she still had to practice. Life was like this. If one did not give up some things, one would not get what one wanted.

One needed to pay the price for what one wanted. This was the wisdom pa.s.sed down since ancient times.

There was still time for her to start practicing her shooting skills later. The most important thing now was how they were going to deal with the wild boar. When they looked at it from afar, they felt that the wild boar was as strong as a cow. Now, however, the wild boar had fallen in front of them. Du Yue looked at it and saw that it was much larger than she had predicted. it looked to be at least 500 to 600 catties.
