America 1881: Legend of the West

The person below is considered an old acquaintance of Chen Jianqiu. He had met twice before, once in a wooden house outside the University of Denver, but he didn't see Hernandez's appearance; the other time was in a house in Oak Village, He beat me like a whack-a-mole until I was scurrying away.

This person has been in the Western Conference for many years and has developed a good running skills. He is never ambiguous when selling his teammates.

Chen Jianqiu observed the terrain below.

The entire mine is located in a valley, and the surrounding terrain is steep and steep. It is obviously impossible to go down directly.

The entrance to the mine is at the mouth of the valley. There is a row of wooden fences there, which have been reinforced and raised so that normal people cannot climb in. Without bombardment, it is difficult to create a gap to get out.

In the middle is the gate, and from the gate is a long passage.

Just like they had seen before, the six guard towers in the mine overlooked all the low points at the valley entrance. The firepower of six to twelve repeating rifles would be devastating to that narrow valley entrance.

If the invading enemy escapes the attack from the guard tower, breaks into the gate, and passes through that passage.

Then waiting for them at the entrance of the passage will be a Gatling gun. Hernandez doesn't know where to get one.

Bunkers and roadblocks were set up there, and it was unrealistic to take advantage of the horse's speed to rush in directly.

Chen Jianqiu roughly counted about twenty people who could be seen outside, and there were four rooms with lights on. If you count three to four people in each room...

A conservative estimate is that Hernandez's hyena gang has at least forty people, not counting those who are invisible and scattered outside the mine and have not returned.

"It's a bit troublesome." Geronimo shook his head, "There are a lot of people."

"Well, there are so many people." Chen Jianqiu said casually without looking away from the valley below.

Everyone looked at him, except Asuka and Sean. They were used to their boss making random remarks from time to time.

Isn't this person crazy? How nice is he? What’s good about having more people? Do you think you are not dead enough?

Of course Chen Jianqiu is not crazy.

If there are more people, there will be more mouths. If there are more mouths, there will be more people to eat, and there will be more supplies in reserve, and of course there will be more guns.

I really want to sleep on a pillow, but I am worried about having no guns or food. Isn’t this a solution?

He knew too well the fighting power of Hernandez's group. Their discipline was in shambles and they could bully the white-skinned people around them. But when they really did it, they were full of loopholes.

Since it's not easy to grab the US Army's guns right now, these Mexican scumbags can give it a try.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

Several horses appeared at the mouth of the valley, and the Mexican leader shouted impatiently into the horse.

The guard on the guard tower turned around and looked this way.

The guard on the sentry post at the door was looking out boredly. He took a torch from the shelf next to him and walked over.

He waved the torch and used the light to see clearly the appearance of the leader.

"What's behind?" He glanced at the carriage behind him.

"What you stole!" the Mexican on the horse said angrily, "I go out to work without your father, and you guys will eat your shit!"

The guard was not angry. He walked lazily to the carriage, turned over the carriage impatiently, and let them in.

A group of men and horses passed through the passage and dismounted at the exit. The leader reached into the carriage, fumbled for a long time, took out a bottle of wine, and poured it down his neck.

Several people dispersed at the door, leaving only one person who drove the carriage into the mine.

The guards at the mine entrance took it to the extreme. They were all dozing off and let the carriage go directly.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see anymore." Chen Jianqiu said to Feiniao and Sean behind him, turned around and went down the ridge.

Geronimo looked down again, shook his head, and led everyone to follow Chen Jianqiu down the mountain.

A group of people left the mine and embarked on the return journey.

When they appeared again at the entrance of the cave where they were stationed, it was almost midnight, and the old priest and the others welcomed them out of the cave.

A few Indian warriors helped to get the game they had hunted on the road. Although it was not much for their large number, it would not be a problem to fill their stomachs tomorrow morning.

Danny took a look at the team and found that someone seemed to be missing. He asked Chen Jianqiu doubtfully: "Where is Sean? Didn't he go out with you?"

"He has other tasks." Chen Jianqiu said.

He took off the saddle blanket from Black Carrot's back, found an empty place in the hole and spread it, lay down on it and closed his eyes, and then quickly fell into a dream.

When Chen Jianqiu opened his eyes early the next morning, the cave had already begun to get busy. Some Indian warriors were using large leather water bags taken off their horses to pour water into the pots placed on the campfire.

Water resources in New Mexico are very precious. Annual rainfall in the southwest desert is very low, and these warriors obtain water from nearby caves.

Chen Jianqiu told them not to roast hare meat last night. This cooking method was too extravagant. Cooking soup directly would not only make people feel full, but also provide nutrition to the hungry people as much as possible.

But breakfast should be more than that.

Not long after, the sound of a carriage was heard outside the cave.

Chen Jianqiu walked out of the cave,

A carriage stopped at the entrance of the cave, and Sean jumped down from it. He looked tired, but when he saw Chen Jianqiu, he suddenly became excited.

"Hey, boss, you are indeed right."

On the way back last night, when everyone was dismounting to rest and drain the water, Chen Jianqiu suddenly proposed to buy a carriage. Geronimo and the others thought that this young man was having a whim.

Chen Jianqiu walked to Sean, put his arm around his shoulders, and whispered a few words into his ear.

Sean shook his head like a rattle.

But Chen Jianqiu ignored him and asked Geronimo directly:

"Is there a town nearby?"

"Yes, but it's more than ten miles away."

"That's it!" Chen Jianqiu patted Sean's shoulder, took out a few bills from his arms, and handed them to Sean's hand, "Come on, I believe you. Don't alarm those white-skinned people who say you are traveling. Just people.”

Sean looked at the money, thought for a while, and finally climbed on the horse and headed towards the town.

Chen Jianqiu walked to the back of the carriage.

The carriage had a shed, and he got into it and lifted the cloth covering the items.

There was half a car full of wine, some broken, and the rest were some food and some daily necessities.

The number of these items exceeded his expectations.

Seeing that Chen Jianqiu hadn't spoken for a long time, Sean hesitated for a while, then took out the money Chen Jianqiu gave him last night from his arms and handed it to Chen Jianqiu:

"Well, actually, boss, I didn't buy this car and these things with money, but..."

Chen Jianqiu did not accept the money, but continued to check the contents of the car without saying a word. But the more he did this, the more Sean felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

After a while, Chen Jianqiu turned around and said to the black man in a calm tone:

"You don't need to tell me how you obtained these things, but I hope you can learn to control some of your desires. Reckless actions will put us in danger. I hope you treat it as a skill, not an instinct. "

After that, he patted Sean on the shoulder: "Go to bed and have a good rest. You don't need to participate in today's action."

After that, he walked into the cave again, leaving the black man standing there alone, thinking about Chen Jianqiu's words.
