Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 216 - 141: Small and Big Eyes, Sharpshooter, Techniques Learned from Movies (Part 2)
As a sly fox, it secretly memorized all the sniper poses!
...Even though it never had a gun, it never stopped practicing, often using branches to practice secretly in its own medicinal field.
It tilted its head back, furrowed its brows, and calculated with its front paw... seems like it's been practicing for two and a half years?
Today, it finally gets to have a gun and live ammunition, it smirked... today I'll show the brothers what it means to be professional!
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, followed by the brothers hopping and cheering wildly.
"Ying ying ying, ying ying ying!"
"Owl owl owl, owl owl owl!"
Big and Small Eyes looked forward and saw it was Quanquan Hu, who had just fired a shot.
The target stump in the distance had a small hole in the center of the tree rings, faintly smoking.
"Ow?"
So accurate?
Did Quanquan Hu hit it by luck?
Or, like it, is Quanquan Hu a sharpshooter?
Big and Small Eyes furrowed its brows, blinked, made up its mind... when it gets its turn, it would also hit the bullet right into that small hole! Only such a difficult target can match its daily hard-practiced skills!
...
Finally, the previous brother finished the shot and handed the gun over to Big and Small Eyes amid cheers.
It naturally took the gun.
"Ow?"
The gun had already been warmed by touch.
The barrel was also emitting faint blue smoke.
It puffed out its tummy, blew on the barrel... this stylish move was also learned from movies.
Then it stretched out a front paw, gesturing to measure distance... of course, this move was also learned from movies. In fact, it didn't know what this action meant. But since sharpshooters do it, it had to do it too.
Then it dipped a front paw in spit and reached it forward to feel the wind... sure enough, this was also learned from movies.
But after a while, it furrowed its brow... why couldn't it feel the wind?
"Ying?"
It suddenly realized, it's in the dormitory hall, indoors. So it didn't matter.
After a whole performance, nine thousand fellow brothers, plus the ones who had already finished firing, all turned their gaze toward Big and Small Eyes.
"Ying ying ying, owl owl owl!"
"Ying ying owl owl!"
They chattered in fox language... in fact, more than half of their knowledge about guns was all learned from Big and Small Eyes boasting.
Seeing Big and Small Eyes smugly preparing to show off to the brothers.
It turned its body sideways, two front paws, one supporting the gun, the other on the trigger.
It even stretched its big tail from its side to brace under the barrel of the gun for stability.
"Owl owl owl!"
"Ying ying ying!"
"Ying ying ying!"
It heard the cheers of the brothers... In the movies, the sniper uses a companion's body to brace the gun. But it had an extra big tail, could brace the gun on its own, didn't need an assistant, more professional, more cool, more stylish!
It started aiming, tilting its chubby head, closing one eye, looking towards the front sight, aligning with the distant tree stump target, aiming at the small hole left by Quanquan Hu, just waiting to fire a shot, with exquisite skill, to bring the house down...
"Ying?
"Ow?"
Huh?
It suddenly realized, why was its front paw shaking?
Its tail bracing the gun was also shaking!
Reflecting onto the gun's sight and muzzle, the shaking was bigger and more intense.
It had already aimed at Quanquan Hu's small hole, but its muzzle was shaking up, down, left, and right around that small hole.
Was it too nervous?
It tilted its head, remembering the movies, imitated the movie's deep-breathing stance.
Closed one eye again, looked at the front sight again, aimed again... still shaking!
The muzzle was drawing circles around Quanquan Hu's small hole.
"Ow?"
It glanced over the Black Ears shooting beside it, noticed Black Ears was also shaking. But Black Ears didn't seem to care, pulled the trigger with a "kacha," a bullet fired with a "bang," hitting the outer part of the target with a "puff," then touched its head and left in the brothers' polite applause.
It turned back, hearing the brothers cheering for it, expecting a sharpshooter!
"Ying ying ying!"
"Owl owl owl!"
"Ying ying ying!"
Its front paw jittered, the trigger pulled!
Its whole fox body stood sideways, tail bracing the gun, in an incomparably professional and stylish pose, under the brothers' cheers and expectant looks...
Bang!
The bullet flew out, almost tracing a straight line, flew dozens of meters, didn't hit the bullseye, didn't hit any ring in the tree rings, instead blew apart the outer bark of the tree stump target!
The bark was shattered, debris flying.
The entire scene fell silent.
The cheers of the foxes were caught in their throats.
In the distance, Bai Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth... When it comes to shooting, perhaps it's really not about flashy moves. An important talent is the control over bodily tremors. If one could be as still as a zombie, as precise as a machine, then naturally the shot would be accurate.
But in this aspect... Big and Small Eyes seems to have no special talent, rather quite average.
...
The next day at noon.
Smoke rose from the cafeteria at Fox Mountain, it was meal time again.
Small and Big Eyes carried a bowl of hot soup, climbed down the mountain all the way, passed through the vast medicinal fields, and ran to the Deer Horn Ginkgo Tree Garden... this is Big and Small Eyes' medicinal field.
"Awoo awoo awoo?"
"Ying ying ying?"
"Ying ying ying?"
It carried the hot soup, shuttling through the woods, calling out, looking for Big and Small Eyes.
Big and Small Eyes hadn't gone to eat, it came to deliver food to Big and Small Eyes.
...
At this moment, Big and Small Eyes lay on a high tree branch, hugging its big tail, hiding among the dense leaves.
Hearing the call of Small and Big Eyes, smelling the aroma of hot soup, its stomach growled.
Small and Big Eyes came to bring it food?
It poked its head out to look around, confirmed it was only Small and Big Eyes, and was about to jump down…
Then it heard Small and Big Eyes shouting from below the tree.
"Awoo awoo awoo awoo!"
...Don't be upset, the senior brothers all said your moves were cool.
"Ying ying ying ying!"
...Don't be upset, the senior brothers tried using the tail to support the gun and it just doesn't hit well.
"Awoo awoo awoo awoo!"
...We believe you weren't boasting!
A strong sense of shame welled up again, Big and Small Eyes curled up more tightly on the branch, wiped away tears with its front paw, and was even more unwilling to go down!
It had figured out that those moves were useless. And it was not some kind of genius.
It extended its front paw, looked at its front paw, and could see that even in a natural state, this front paw was slightly trembling. This is a very normal physiological phenomenon, the body of a fox is just like this.
It had secretly observed that some senior brothers had a larger inherent tremor amplitude, while others had a smaller one naturally.
And it belonged to the naturally moderate tremor amplitude, not too bad, but not a genius either.
It had no particular talent or ability in the field of shooting.
Thinking of the professional moves it made last night, and the cheers, onlookers, and sudden silence of all the senior brothers, it burst into tears again, burying its head into its tail.
Letting out muffled sobs. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
No face to be a fox anymore!
Suddenly…
A fox paw rested on its shoulder.
"Awoo awoo awoo!"
It looked up, found it was Small and Big Eyes, carrying the hot soup, climbed up.
"Ying ying awoo awoo awoo!"
...This is spicy pepper soup made by master, drink it while it's hot!
Big and Small Eyes sat up, took over the spicy pepper soup.
Saw in the bowl fragments of several herbs, roots, making the whole bowl emit a warm medicinal aroma.
"Awoo."
It hadn't eaten breakfast, its stomach was really hungry by now, so it went down and took a big gulp.
When its eyes were close to the soup, it actually saw that in the soup, there were tiny flakes of pepper floating. These small flakes were moving extremely fast, swimming here and there, sometimes swimming to this side, sometimes to that side, following a zigzag path.
"Ying ying awoo awoo..."
It told this discovery to Small and Big Eyes.
Unexpectedly, Small and Big Eyes had a bewildered look.
"Awoo?
"Ying ying awoo awoo?"
Small and Big Eyes could see pepper specks, after all, its eyes were enhanced.
But... that thing was moving too fast, Small and Big Eyes couldn't see the movement path of the pepper specks clearly.
"Awoo?"
Big and Small Eyes froze.
Small and Big Eyes couldn't see the pepper's track, but Big and Small Eyes could... could this be considered a talent too?
What kind of talent is it?
Is it the talent to see fast-moving objects clearly?
"Ying?"
It seemed like it found a way to restore its reputation!
