America 1881: Legend of the West

Chen Jianqiu and the others chose a place not far from the ranch, lit a bonfire and set up camp.

I didn't see any large prey nearby, but there were quite a few hares and the like.

Two unlucky ones who had just slipped out of the hole to look for food were caught by the birds and became dinner for three people.

Chen Jianqiu found two sticks, skewered the skinned rabbits, and roasted them on the bonfire.

After a while, the meat began to sizzle on the campfire.

Yellow oil seeped out and dripped into the bonfire drop by drop.

This made the flames instantly stronger.

"Boss, why do you think the rabbits here are so fat?" Sean stared at the meat intently, saliva flowing out of the corner of his mouth.

Chen Jianqiu took out a small bottle of coarse salt from his saddle bag, sprinkled it on the rabbit meat, then took out his dagger, cut off the rabbit meat piece by piece and ate it.

"If I were you, I wouldn't talk so much. After eating, go to bed quickly." Chen Jianqiu was too lazy to talk nonsense to the black man, "We have to continue on our way tomorrow."

The next morning, the sun rose above the horizon.

Chen Jianqiu woke up.

He took off the blanket.

The bonfire has gone out.

He looked left and right.

Feiniao was not at his place and might have gone out for a walk; Sean, on the other hand, had tears streaming from his mouth and was sleeping soundly.

Chen Jianqiu took a water bottle, took a sip, then took out a soda cracker from the saddle bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

Wait and continue walking north, and see if you are lucky enough to meet a passing business traveler, so I can ask about the specific location of Mudog Town.

"Boss! Boss!"

Chen Jianqiu turned around and saw birds galloping on horses from a distance.

"what happened?"

Chen Jianqiu took another sip of water and asked calmly.

"I just saw a few people heading towards the pasture last night."

Several people? Pasture direction?

The woman and the old man holding the gun appeared in Chen Jianqiu's mind.

It seems like there's something going on and you can watch it, and maybe you can ask for directions.

He hung the water bag back on the horse, walked to Sean, and kicked the black man's butt:

"Get up! Eat meat!"

Sean suddenly got up from the ground, wiped the saliva from his mouth, and looked around:

"Meat? Where is the meat?"

Chen Jianqiu threw his coat to him: "Get up quickly and go to the pasture yesterday."

Outside Badland Ranch, several men and horses stood at the gate.

Of course, they were greeted by the woman and the old man, as well as the guns in their hands.

"Smelly bitch! Are you getting bolder and bolder? Do you dare to point a gun at me?!"

A brown-haired man stood at the front of the group and shouted at the woman at the door of the room.

"roll!"

The woman's reply was simple yet powerful.

The man was stunned, glanced at the people around him, and found that they were also looking at him.

He took a deep breath.

"Can you, a stinky bitch, know how to shoot? If you dare, try shooting at me!"

"boom!"

The woman pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom!"

Another sound.

Not only did she fire the first shot, she also fired the second.

Both shots hit the man's feet.

The first shot was a warning, the second shot was a miss.

"Get away! Don't come near my ranch!" the woman yelled hysterically.

The brown-haired man turned around and ran away.

But after running a few steps, he was pulled back by a cowboy wearing a beard next to him.

"Didn't you bring us here? Why are you running away?" the bearded man asked in a low voice with a gloomy look.

Behind them, another cowboy couldn't hold himself back any longer, and his hands began to touch his waist.

The brown-haired man was a bit embarrassed.

He had no choice but to turn around and plan to break into the ranch.

However, at this time, three people suddenly walked out from behind the pasture fence.

A Chinese, a black, an Indian.

"Hey, excuse me, are you from here?" Chen Jianqiu walked up to the brown-haired man and asked.

The brown-haired man and the bearded man were surprised.

They had no idea when these three people appeared near them.

The brown-haired man glanced at Chen Jianqiu and the others, then at the woman at the door of the house, and suddenly realized:

"I said, why are you so stubborn? It turns out you have found a helper."

He growled viciously at the woman.

"Hey, hey, I have no intention of getting involved in your affairs, and I don't care why you entered her pasture." Chen Jianqiu spread his hands and shrugged, "I just want to ask for directions."

"Do you know how to get to Shepherd Town?" He looked at the people standing at the gate of the ranch with a questioning look on his face.

Unexpectedly, the brown-haired man seemed to have been poked in some painful spot. He immediately jumped up and yelled:

"What is her pasture? Ah? How could you see that this is her pasture?!"

"This is my ranch!"

Asuka and Sean looked at each other.

Where is this going? What is this mess?

However, Chen Jianqiu suddenly moved.

There was a gunshot.

The bearded man behind the brown hair suddenly fell to the ground.

Red blood flowed from the wound on his chest and soaked into the soil around him.

A gun fell from his hand.

The golden revolver pierced Chen Jianqiu's hand several times before returning to his holster.

"too slow."

He glanced at the remaining people: "Do you want to try too?"

Several people touched their hands on their waists and then put their hands back honestly.

"You really don't know how to get to Shepherd Town?" Chen Jianqiu was a little disappointed.

Because all the men, including the brown-haired man, were staring at him nervously.

"Sir, these people are not good people, please don't let them go!" the woman at the door of the house shouted to Chen Jianqiu.

She turned to the brown-haired man and continued to yell:

"Bill! You beast! You brought a group of people with guns to rob your wife's ranch! Are you still a human being?"

"You fart! Didn't you kick me out first?" The brown-haired man shouted back at the same decibel level.

Chen Jianqiu turned around, too lazy to talk to the couple anymore, and was about to leave.

Several people around the brown-haired man saw Chen Jianqiu turn around, glanced at each other, and immediately moved their hands to his waist.

However, as if the Chinese had eyes in the back of his head, he turned around instantly and fired a "six-shot" at a speed that they couldn't see.

At the same time, Asuka and Sean pulled out their guns.

Everyone except the brown-haired man fell to the ground.

The brown-haired man turned around and ran away, but Chen Jianqiu caught up with him in three steps and hugged him to the ground.

"Tie it up." Chen Jianqiu said to Feiniao.

The woman and the old man also ran from the ranch with guns in hand.

The woman aimed a gun butt at the brown-haired man's face, hitting him with stars in his eyes:

"You're a scumbag!"

"What's going on?" Chen Jianqiu asked

"My name is Jenny, and this man is my husband." The woman kicked the man again, "He is a villain!"

"Yes, I can see it." Chen Jianqiu nodded.

"Whenever he drank too much, he would beat me," Jenny said.

"The day before yesterday, he drank too much again. He took a belt and said he wanted to "educate" me. I couldn't bear it and beat him out with a soldering iron."

"But today, he dared to come back with men and guns to rob!" She pointed to the people lying in a pool of blood.

"How do you know these people?" Chen Jianqiu knelt down and asked Bill, a brown-haired man who was being beaten to death by his wife.

"I met them outside Shepherd Town. We had some drinks, and they asked me to bring them over, intending to scare my wife." Bill said in a muffled voice.

Chen Jianqiu was amazed by this man's brain circuit.

Let's not talk about these people. From any point of view, they are not good people.

The purpose of their coming is by no means as simple as scaring people.

What kind of talent is it to find someone outside to scare your wife?

"You can handle your husband by yourself." Chen Jianqiu stood up and prepared to leave.

But they had just walked out of the ranch gate.

A pair of people on horseback appeared not far away, heading towards the pasture.

As the team approached, the people on the horses dismounted one after another.

The leader is a young man wearing glasses. He looks a little thin, but his eyes are bright and his steps are strong.

"Sir, we are tracking some robbers. Have you seen them?" He asked about Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu pointed his thumb at the corpses at the gate of the ranch behind him:

"Are these the people you're talking about? They were just about to rob this ranch."

The young man led the people up quickly.

They quickly determined the identities of these people, and they were indeed the group of robbers.

"Thank you for your contribution to people's safety. Sometimes, more direct methods must be used to deal with gangsters."

The young man expressed his gratitude to Chen Jianqiu.

"By the way, how can I help you?" he asked.

"Excuse me, do you know how to get to Shepherd Town?"

"What a coincidence, we are from Shepherd Town." The young man smiled.

"I'm the deputy sheriff of this town."

"Theodore Roosevelt."
