It turns out that Lu Ming Tang and Wang Ya Qiao have some connection.
Under Niu Bi's expectant gaze, Zhao Jingheng continued. "Wang Yaxiao's master of gunplay was named Zhao Youxun, and Lu Mingtang later received guidance from Zhao Youxun, his gunplay is not inferior to Wang Yaxiao!"
"This man is Wang Ya-qiao's junior fellow disciple."
"Zhao had once seen Lu Mingtang's brother, Lu, demonstrate his marksmanship. Seven sparrows flew across the sky at the same time, and with a single swing of his gun, all seven fell to the ground!" Zhao Jingheng finished speaking, his eyes revealing a hint of shock.
"Is it really that awesome?"
The ox's eyes revealed a shocking expression, seven sparrows flying in the sky, he swung his spear and killed them, it was no ordinary ox.
To know that every sparrow is moving, even if it's just one sparrow, it's extremely difficult to aim and hit, let alone seven!
"Also, please ask Mr. Zhao to inform us of his address."
Niu Bi also had some heart movement, since he couldn't practice martial arts, then practicing gun techniques was also good.
It's easy to talk big and boast about hitting seven sparrows with one stone, but actually hitting three would be satisfying enough.
With this marksmanship, I can take care of myself in Shanghai too.
"He now lives at Huangpu Wharf, if you go to find him, I can write a letter of introduction for you." said Zhao Jingheng.
"Thank you."
"Mr. Niu, this is my third disciple Liu Feng. From now on, he will be by your side at all times, guarding your safety. If there's anything you need, just give him orders."
Zhao Jingheng scribbled a few strokes, finished writing the letter of recommendation, handed it to Niu Bi, and then led a sturdy young man in front of him, introducing him to Niu Bi.
Liu Feng has met Mr. Niu.
Liu Feng has a crew cut and is of medium build, looking sturdy and honest.
"Uh-huh, not bad."
Niu Bei patted Liu Feng's shoulder, feeling as solid as a rock, and was very satisfied.
After agreeing on the hiring price with both parties, they bid farewell to Zhao Jingheng, leaving behind five gold bars and set off with Liu Feng.
Liu Feng's salary was 10 yuan per month, which is enough for a ordinary family to live on for two years. Such treatment in the middle of the Republic of China belonged to high salary.
This money must be paid by Niu Bi.
The Shanghai Bund is not peaceful, and now it's also a place for the rich, so it's inevitable to be envied by others, which requires bodyguards.
The previous rickshaw driver is a lesson from past experience.
......
Shanghai Port, with many ships coming and going every day.
As soon as he arrived at the dock, Liu Feng led Niu Bi to the third dock, where stevedores were busy like ants.
"Mr. Niu, look, the bare-chested middle-aged man is Uncle Lu." Liu Feng pointed to a roughly fifty-year-old bare-chested man and said to Niu Bi.
At this moment, Lu Ming-tang had two large sacks on his back, his pants were tied with a hemp rope, and he was moving goods onto the ship.
"Is he Lu Ming Tang?"
Niu Bi was stunned. A godly shooter like him was actually moving bricks here?
Are you kidding me?
"Mr. Niu, I've seen Uncle Lu's marksmanship with my own eyes."
Liu Feng saw Niu Bi still in doubt, and continued. "Lu Shu hid here because he had gone to join the army, but couldn't stand the deceitful ways of the world, and also believed that Wang Ya Qiao was slaughtering innocent people, so he was willing to bury himself."
"So it was."
Suddenly enlightened.
"Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu!" Liu Feng shouted loudly.
At the sound of Liu Feng's shout, Lu Ming Tang pulled up the black towel on his shoulder and wiped the sweat from his face, glanced over here, and walked away.
"Xiao Feng, how did you come?" Lu Ming Tang looked at Liu Feng with some surprise.
"Uncle Lu, is it convenient for us to talk now?" Liu Feng asked, looking around left and right.
"Wait for me a moment." Lu Ming Tang heard this and glanced at Niu Bi, then turned around and left.
......
This is an old and dilapidated alley with two-story small old buildings on both sides.
Seven or eight kids, laughing and playing, running around.
Lu Mingtang and his family of five lived in the east wing of a quadrangle courtyard in the alley, and all five mouths relied on Lu Mingtang's income from working at the dock to make a living.
"Dad!"
"Dad! You're back! Did you bring something good for Wan'er to eat?"
Two little kids saw Lu Ming Tang and hurriedly ran over. The older girl was about ten years old, with bright eyes and white teeth. The younger one was a boy of about eight years old, quick-witted and clever.
Lu Mingtang held one in each hand and hugged them to his chest.
"Come on, kids, this is a gift from your uncle." Niu Bi hastily handed over the gifts he had prepared in advance to the two children.
"Hey, Mr Niu, don't mention it, don't mention it!" Lu Ming Tang hastily declined.
It's called "no pay for no work", how can I have the nerve to accept something from you just after meeting?
"Uncle Lu, don't worry about it. I've come to ask a favor of you, I want to learn how to shoot!" Niu Bi said straightforwardly.
"Yes, Uncle Lu, you'd better take it." Liu Feng also said on the side.
Lu Mingtang heard this and was stunned for a moment, his expression changing, finally touching the heads of the two children. "Wan'er, Jie'er, don't you thank your uncle?"
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Two children lifted their dirty faces and ran into the house with something in their arms.
"Mr. Niu, let's go in and talk!" Lu Ming Tang beckoned to Niu Bi with a wave of his hand.
Lu Mingtang waved his hand, and Niu Bi suddenly saw that both of his index fingers were cut off at the root. "No wonder he was carrying bricks on the dock, it turned out that he had lost all his trigger fingers."
Niu Bi was clear in his mind: a gunslinger who had lost his index finger, which he used to pull the trigger, what's the point of continuing?
However, he can teach gun skills.
Lu Mingtang's wife was an ordinary middle-aged woman, after serving tea to the three of them, she went to a side room, where intermittent coughing sounds came from.
"Dad, the pastry that this uncle gave is very delicious, it's just that this one is too heavy, I can't even bite into it." Niu Bi had just taken a sip of tea when Lu Mingtang's little son ran over with a package in his hand.
He fell to the ground because he ran too fast.
In an instant, ten gold bars fell to the ground.
Seeing the gold bars on the ground, Lu Ming Tang was stunned and hastily said to Niu Bi, "Mr. Niu, this...this is such a heavy gift, it's...it's..."
"Uncle Lu, this is what I should do. This is a letter from Master Zhao, take a look." Niu Bi handed over Zhao Jingheng's letter at the right time.
Lu Mingtang took over the letter, read it and thought for a moment. "Mr. Niu, since you were introduced by Zhao, I won't speak nonsense."
"This thing is not like martial arts, it definitely requires talent. For ordinary people, as long as you are willing to practice and have sufficient financial resources to support the consumption of bullets, there is a certain probability of success."
"Of course, the ultimate secret of success is persistence!"
"As long as you persist, you will definitely succeed!"
"Alright, I don't have to worry about running out of bullets."
Niu Bi has this confidence, without mentioning the realistic cake house and Shanghai commercial building, he still has a lot of gold bars at home.
Once you master a shooting skill that can hit 7 flying birds at once, you also have the skills to protect yourself, which is equivalent to practicing martial arts.
......
Shanghai suburbs
Niu Bi and Lin Feng, along with Lu Ming Tang, stood on a small hill.
Next to it is a dense forest.
"Mr. Niu, I'll demonstrate it to you once, take a close look." Lu Mingtang pulled out two Mauser pistols, one of which he fired into the air with his middle finger on the trigger.
Bang!
A sudden crack, more than a dozen sparrows were frightened and flew out of the forest.
In an instant, Lu Ming Tang's hands rose and fell with a series of loud slapping sounds.
Five shots rang out, but only three sparrows fell to the ground.
"Ah, what a pity, I only caught 3."
Lu Mingtang looked at the 3 sparrows on the ground with a despondent expression.
At first, I could shoot down up to 10 sparrows with two guns firing continuously!
It is said that Wang Yaqiao's peak moment was when he single-handedly shot down seven sparrows, and because he coincidentally learned the technique of drawing circles with both hands, he was skilled at using dual guns. At his peak, he could fire ten shots in a row with both hands, hitting every target!
Because of his exceptional marksmanship, surpassing Wang Ya-qiao, Du Yuesheng took notice of him. Lu Ming-tang was discontent with Du's actions, but due to having a family to support, he reluctantly cut off his own two index fingers to sever Du's intentions.
