Suburban indoor target practice range.By the time Jane Wright and Joseph Alcock drove up, Xiao Qianyu and Yue Zigan had already arrived.Xiao Qianyu is wearing a white hooded sportswear today, looking sunny and hot.Xiao Qianyu looks like a playboy type, peach eyes and high nose bridge, which is very popular with girls.Yue Ziqian, in a dark blue lounge suit, is sprawled backwards in a swivel chair, playing a video game console.A typical straight man with meticulously combed hair, a square face and deep features, Yue is wearing a pair of glasses today, which makes him look a bit polite and prim.Xiao Qianyu, Yue Ziqian and Joseph Alcock seem so different in character that it's hard to understand why they get along.Jane Wright follows Joseph Alcock to an indoor target practice range.It's both strange and familiar.The sheer green environment, the long ballistics, the ubiquitous black screens, the sound insulation all around, none of it is top-of-the-line.Returning to the range brought back memories of her past.She had spent six wonderful years at the shooting range."It's Sunday and there are test workers at work?"
Jane Wright asked in surprise as she looked around at several workers walking around in black overalls."This is Xiao family territory.The Xiao family is a property tycoon, and the firing range is also the land of the Xiao family."
Joseph Alcock brushed the back of his hands and said with a relaxed air, "Whenever Xiao Qianyu calls them to work, they're there."
"Oh," he said.
Jane Wright nod, ha ha, these boys are really capricious.Yue Ziqian looked up from the game console, smiled and said hello, "sister-in-law hello."
Xiao Qianyu led a staff member to come over actively and said, "Sister-in-law, the target test for gun license application is a little strict.The requirements are a little high.You can throw darts very well, but handguns are very different."
Xiao motioned for the staff to explain in detail.The staff introduced him seriously, "Hello, Miss Qiao.If you want to get a gun license, you need to pass a target shooting test.What we're going to test today is a 50-meter pistol.It has 10 rings, full target size, 55mm in diameter."
The staff made a gesture with their hands. The target was only the size of a mini mooncake.Many people mistakenly think that the full target of a 50-meter pistol is very large, similar to the target of an archery, but in fact the full target is very small, no bigger than an egg."The target has 10 rounds in total, and the test requires 10 shots. You can't miss the target. If you miss the target, you are not qualified.Each shot should not be less than 5 shots, and two shots must hit more than 8 shots to be considered qualified.You will have two shots.If you fail at the end of the first ten shots, you can take the test again."
The staff finished their introduction.Jane Wright nods gently.Xiao Qianyu came over, small voice, "sister-in-law, is a little difficult, the main full target is too small.But you don't worry, let go of play, really can't pass through the back door."
He winked at Joseph Alcock and whispered in Jane Wright's ear, "Actually Joseph Alcock and I and Yuegan all failed the exam. I opened the back door.Ha, ha, ha."
Joseph Alcock actually heard, he gave Xiao Qianyu a hard look, "You both missed the target, I just missed an 8 ring.Don't make me sound as incompetent as you.Besides, it's not because you two have been heckling me!"
Jane Wright chuckled. "I see. I'll do my best."
"Don't worry. She should get through."
Joseph Alcock pushed Xiao away and said, "Get out of the way."
But Joseph Alcock had seen Jane Wright shoot off four cars following them, with precision.Although the 50-meter pistol test target is small, she should be able to do it."Miss Joe, this way please."
The clerk reached out his hand and respectfully guided Jane Wright to the shooting table, showing her everything. "These are the goggles, these are the headphones, and this is...""I can use them.You don't need an introduction, thanks."
Jane Wright smiled at the staff.A confident smile, as contagious as it is, captivates everyone.The staff nodded, quickly stepped aside, pressed the count button, "You can start."
Suddenly, all the display screens in the range lit up. On the blue screen, ten blank Spaces were displayed, waiting for the announcement of each shooting result.Jane Wright rubbed the backs of her palms warm and put on goggles and headphones. Then she took her pistol and flashed it.Indeed, it had been a long time since she shot at a target.'she thought.Start with a random shot to see how it feels.With the "bang" of a shot.The score immediately appears on the screen: 9.7 rings."Whoa, whoa, whoa."
Xiao Qianyu screams again and again without any image, "Amazing, amazing, 9.Seven rings.Joseph, the highest I remember you hitting a nine was.Six rings."
Yue Ziqian looked up from the game console and glanced at the screen. He didn't seem surprised. He said to himself, "Oh, she just fired a random shot."
"What did you say?"
Xiao Qianyu didn't hear clearly."Didn't say anything, you continue to watch the drama."
Yue Zigan went on with his game.Jane Wright heard the score announced on the radio. 9.She shook her head in the seventh ring, looking extremely dissatisfied. She had gone too far back.Too bad. She gathered herself, aimed carefully this time, and fired again.On-screen announcement: 10.5 rings.Qianyu Xiao's eyes are staring straight, unable to believe what he is seeing.The laid-back smile on Joseph Alcock's lips gradually freezes. He squints his long eyes and looks at the back of Jane Wright with a gun. He cannot look away.She was handsome. She looked like she was born for this.Jane Wright was still not satisfied with the results. After a long time, she began to find the feeling of the old race.10.3 rings.10.7 rings.10.8 rings.10.9 rings.10.9 rings.10.9 rings.10.9 rings.10.9 rings.The last five shots, gun lock 10.9 ring, that moment, she seemed to return to the old game, around the scene audience full, screams and cheers, she held her breath, concentration, perfect play.Fortunately, though time has passed, she has not changed.
