America 1881: Legend of the West

"Would you like to try which one is faster, your arrow or my sword?" Chen Jianqiu's voice came from behind Scar Yu.

"Playing dirty?" Scarface felt the sting coming from his neck, and the tip of the knife had already cut the skin on his neck.

"Both each other." Chen Jianqiu's hand holding the knife did not relax at all, and his other hand had already taken off the arrow that Scar Yu had put on the bow.

"How are you going to tell Asuka if you kill me?"

"Huh? I actually don't care much about his opinion, but I do want to know how you can deal with your master if you can't get his head."

Scarface suddenly whistled, resounding throughout the valley. The white-tailed deer that had been lowering their heads to eat just now were frightened and fled in all directions. At the same time, they brought a bunch of unknown animals with them and ran around.

Asuka quickly turned in this direction and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

"Chen, what are you doing?" He couldn't believe it, his savior actually put a dagger on his friend's neck.

"Why don't you ask him what he is doing in this position with a bow and arrow aimed at you?" Chen Jianqiu not only did not put down the dagger in his hand, but pressed it deeper.

"Flying Bird! Do you want to believe him? Or me?" Scar Yu said loudly in Indian language.

"Chen, put the knife down first. Scar Yu is my good brother. He won't do that kind of thing." Feiniao slowly approached the two of them. He didn't know what was happening. The Chinese man in front of him didn't know why he suddenly turned against Scar. Yu was so hostile that he first used a gun and then a knife.

"The incident in Shiquan Town happened five days ago. We have been traveling all the way and have just arrived here. You have been in the mountains. How did you know about Robert's death? And who told you that we met in Shiquan Town and saved Feiniao? Where are you?" Chen Jianqiu asked unhurriedly, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"If those suspicions just now were just suspicions, the marks on your wrists couldn't have been caused by your own tribe, right?"

Every word is heart-breaking, Scar Yu's face is ugly, and Fei Niao's face is ashen.

"Your tribe, you can figure it out yourself." Chen Jianqiu let go of the dagger in his hand and kicked the Indian in front of him towards Fei Niao.

Asuka has not yet woken up from the shock and astonishment.

"Sorry, they captured my wife." Scar Yu did not dare to look directly into Asuka's eyes and slowly walked towards him.

Feiniao subconsciously wanted to hold his hand, but in the next second, Scar Yu had already dodged and jumped into the bushes.

Chen Jianqiu quickly pulled out the revolver from his waist. He tried to take aim but did not pull the trigger.

Alas, his marksmanship was so bad. At this time, he was a little envious of the sharpshooters in the West. If they had their "American Iai" skills, in the situation just now, the escaping Indians would be rolling on the ground holding their legs.

This traitor is likely to be followed by federal soldiers, and a missed hit will alert the people around him.

"Go back to the camp now. You can't stay here for too long." Chen Jianqiu called Feiniao, who was still lost, and returned to the camp.

"You are finally back. I thought you had abandoned me again. But if you really abandoned me in this deep mountain and old forest, I'm afraid I wouldn't survive even one night." When Sean saw them coming back, Chatterbox mode turned on.

"When did we leave you?" Chen Jianqiu ran over to untie the horse's reins. He pointed at Scar Yu's horse, "You ride this one."

"Hey, hey, the sun is almost setting. Where are we going now? Where is the Indian with the scar on his face?" Sean climbed onto Scar Feather's brown horse. The horse didn't seem to care about the man on its back. , but there was no resistance.

"We are being targeted by the federal army. Their people should be nearby. The smoke in this camp has exposed the location. In addition, Scarface's whistle just now is very likely to be a tip-off. We need to change places."

The flying birds stamped out the bonfire, and the three of them continued along the mountain road to the depths of the mountain.

After judging that no one was following, the three found a small cave and rekindled the bonfire.

"What should we do next?" Sean asked.

Before Chen Jianqiu could answer, Feiniao spoke. He pulled down the fire with a branch, and the firelight reflected on his face.

"I'm going to visit the tribe."

Chen Jianqiu was silent for a while, then took out the pack of cigarettes, took out one and put it in his mouth, then picked up a burning branch from the fire, moved his head closer to light the cigarette.

"Are you sure you want to go?" he asked while smoking, the cigarette butt flickering in the darkness of the cave. "It's very likely that your tribe has been attacked, and your relatives are also very likely to encounter something unexpected. And where There is now a high possibility of an ambush by federal soldiers."

Feiniao thought for a while and nodded.

Chen Jianqiu put out his cigarette: "Then I will accompany you tomorrow morning. Sean, you stay here and run away if something goes wrong."

Sean had a wry smile on his face: "Without you, where can I go? I'd better go with you, maybe it can come in handy."

Chen Jianqiu took out the revolver from his waist and threw it to Sean: "Take it, I really don't believe you can't use a gun."

Sean didn't dare to answer.

"Take it and watch our backs when the time comes." Chen Jianqiu lay down directly next to the bonfire.

Sean picked up the gun and stuck it in his waistband.

"Be careful, there are bullets in the gun, don't misfire and hit your balls." A word came from the lying man.

Sean was so frightened that he quickly pulled out the gun and touched his crotch with lingering fear.

"By the way, boss, how did Scaryu know about Robert's death and our information?"

"It's very possible that the federal soldiers told him after he was captured."

"But how did the federal soldiers know so quickly?"

"telegraph."

Sean's eyes widened. Could it be that Morris, a mere sheriff, could command an active army?

"This team may have been hanging around here for a long time. Something happened in Shiquan Town. Morris judged our direction and sent a telegram directly." Chen Jianqiu paused and continued, "Their original The target should be Asuka’s tribe.”

Asuka buried her head deeply into her knees.

"Okay, don't blame yourself. Let's go take a look tomorrow. Maybe some of the remaining people have escaped." Chen Jianqiu comforted Feiniao and found a corner to sleep.

……

The weather in the mountains changed at any time. When the three of them walked out of the cave the next day, the sky outside was a little gloomy. They ate the last of their dry food and continued on the road.

The closer they got to the tribal station, the less communication the three people had. After climbing over a hill, they heard the sound of water.

After the three people led their horses closer, they found that it was a stream, not very wide, not very narrow, and the water was quite clear.

"This stream flows down from the mountain. When we chose the camp, it was not far from this stream." Feiniao pointed to the upstream direction of the stream and said, "We can find it by going upstream along this stream. It’s camp.”

Sean had dismounted and was holding a water bag to fill with some drinking water.

Chen Jianqiu held his breath and concentrated. He seemed to hear a louder sound coming from the valley upstream of the stream.

"Flyniao, listen, what is this sound?"

Feiniao also began to listen carefully. He looked up at the dim sky in the valley upstream and said, "It should be raining upstream, and there will be floods coming later."

Before he could finish speaking, a raging current appeared at the corner of the stream, hitting the stones in the river bed.

The water mixed with mud is very turbid, but the color is very strange, glowing dark red.

Suddenly, they saw Sean, who was collecting water in front of him, standing blankly on the rocks on the shore, looking at the rushing water like a clay sculpture.

"God, what have I seen?" he murmured.

The color of the stream has completely turned red, and wrapped in the water are the corpses of Indians!
