America 1881: Legend of the West

The two returned to the cave, where the bird was feeding the woman water and wiping her face with water.

Only then did Chen Jianqiu see clearly the original appearance of the Indian woman. According to Asuka's age, his mother should only be about forty years old, but her weathered face made her look at least fifty or sixty years old. .

Asuka settled down with his mother and turned around to the bonfire in the cave.

At this time, Chen Jianqiu and Sean had already carried the lieutenant to the side. Chen Jianqiu first chopped off the arrow with an axe, then held the root of the arrow with his hand and pulled out the entire arrow with all his strength.

"Ah!" A scream came from all over, and the lieutenant woke up from a burst of severe pain.

Chen Jianqiu held him down, applied foamed yarrow to his wound, and briefly bandaged him to stop the bleeding.

"Kill me! Kill me!" The lieutenant twisted his body wildly. As soon as Chen Jianqiu let go, he fell to the ground, staring at the three people with extremely vicious eyes.

"Did you order the massacre of my people?" Feiniao asked.

"Yes, that's right, it's me, you dirty, despicable, barbaric low-class people. Do you think I chased these people from Northern Utah to here just because of the Army's orders? You low-class people"

"And you, Chinese. I met a bunch of Chinamen building railroads in Utah. They fell to the ground while they were repairing, panting like dogs and then died."

The lieutenant had completely fallen into madness.

With a "boom", the lieutenant was punched by Chen Jianqiu and his whole body fell backwards. Blood spattered for a while, covering his entire face.

"You don't even let the old, weak, women and children go." Feiniao's eyes grew colder.

"Yes, I should have killed your mother as well." The lieutenant's face was covered with blood, his mouth was full of blood foam, and his words were slurred.

"puff"

This time it was a left hook, and the lieutenant flew out with his teeth and others. He stopped being provocative and stubborn, and leaned against the stone wall, groaning.

"Kill him. This is the greatest kindness to him now." Chen Jianqiu said to Feiniao.

Asuka took the lieutenant out of the cave. After a while, screams continued to be heard outside the cave.

Ten minutes later, the screams gradually subsided, and Asuka walked in with a piece of blood dripping in his hand. He knelt in front of his mother.

"My father's enemies and the enemies of the tribe have all paid the price. Unfortunately, not all of them were killed by flying birds. Please allow me to use the scalp of one of them to pay tribute to my tribe."

Asuka's mother nodded.

They performed simple and ancient rituals around the campfire, which they believed could rest their souls.

After the ceremony, everyone found a place to rest.

I don't know if it was because he was too tired in the past two days, but Chen Jianqiu quickly fell into a dream.

In a mansion, a woman dressed in late Qing Dynasty sat in an exquisite pear wood carved chair. Chen Jianqiu found that he had turned into a four or five-year-old child, nestling in her arms.

The sky outside the door was filled with gunpowder smoke, and faint sounds of killing could be heard.

A man rushed in with a group of soldiers.

"Second Madam, the First Madam has already taken Tianbao out of the city. I will escort you in disguise and leave quickly! The enemy has already entered the outer city. The city will be broken soon."

The woman held Chen Jianqiu in her arms and gently stroked his hair. Tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.

She murmured: "Although Changluo is not my biological child, I have long been in love with mother and son. The king died two years ago, and I have no intention of living in this world. Please take Changluo and leave as soon as possible!"

After saying that, she released Chen Jianqiu from her arms, straightened himself up and stood in front of her, and wiped the dust marks on his face with her sleeves.

"From now on, my mother will no longer be by your side. You must listen to your uncles, live a good life, learn to be brave, and learn to be strong."

"No, mother, no, I don't want it." Chen Jianqiu's vision gradually became blurry.

The woman was cruel and pushed him towards the man kneeling aside. The man gritted his teeth, picked up Jianqiu, and rushed out of the door with a group of soldiers.

The woman's figure gradually became smaller until she disappeared through the door.

"Mother! Mother!"

"Mother! Mother!"

The voice gradually became real, and Chen Jianqiu felt his face was a little wet. He opened his eyes and found that the flying bird was shouting loudly outside the cave.

Chen Jianqiu quickly got up, and Sean was also alarmed and followed him out.

"Chen, my mother is missing." Feiniao was extremely anxious.

"Let's go to the top of the mountain and have a look." Chen Jianqiu immediately took out his weapon from his horse and ran along the path to the top of the mountain.

It was already twilight at this time, and it was not far from the cave to the top of the mountain. The three of them arrived at their destination in a short time.

At this time, the sun has jumped out of the horizon, and the morning light shines on the earth, bathing the vast forests and undulating mountain peaks.

Sure enough, the woman was sitting on a rock on the edge of the cliff.

"Oh, you scared me to death. I didn't let you play like this. Come down quickly, come down quickly." Sean patted his chest and gasped.

But Chen Jianqiu and Feiniao didn't speak, and they noticed something strange.

The woman looked toward the northeast with a peaceful expression, but her face was dilapidated and old, like a candle swaying in the wind, about to be extinguished at any time.

"Mother!" Feiniao was about to move forward.

The woman waved to him, letting the bird come to her side

"You have finally grown up." The woman looked at the flying bird kindly, "My flying bird has finally grown up. My injury is too serious, and the time is almost up. I took this breath just to last until I can see you. Now that the person who killed your father is dead and the revenge for killing your people is over, it’s time for me to leave.”

"Mother!" Feiniao knelt down on one knee.

The woman took Feiniao's hand and said to him: "From now on, follow that Chinese, repay his kindness to our tribe, learn more from him, and entrust you to him, I am relieved."

Then, the woman turned to Chen Jianqiu and made the same gesture as she did in the cage last time.

"Thank you," the woman said in less than proficient English.

"My soul will follow your father." The woman sat on the stone, she smiled and closed her eyes.

Her soul returned to nature, to the winding Ripabricken River, and to the majestic Black Mountain, where her soul would gain eternal life.

Chen Jianqiu and the others found a place to bury Feiniao's mother.

On the way back to the cave, Feiniao suddenly said to Chen Jianqiu: "Chen, if you are willing, I swear on my soul that I will always be loyal to you and repay your kindness."

Chen Jianqiu patted him on the shoulder: "You are my good brother, and so is Sean."

Sean grinned, a hint of crescent moon white appearing on his face.

Suddenly, Chen Jianqiu looked at a forest not far from them for some reason.

A gust of wind blew, and several deer jumped out of the woods.

Chen Jianqiu and Feiniao glanced at each other and immediately flew towards the woods.

When they arrived at their destination, they found two half-smoked cigarettes left on the ground.

"Run away?" Feiniao looked at Chen Jianqiu.

"Well, ran away"

……

"It's so scary, my head, how did they discover us so quickly?" On the mountain road not far away, a well-dressed man wearing a tie, riding a horse and carrying a gun, asked another man beside him.

The man arranged his hair and put on his gray dome hat. His face could not be seen clearly under the brim of the hat, but the aquiline nose showed that this person was not easy to get along with.

"Boss, how about I gather the troops to capture them immediately?" the tie man suggested.

The man with the aquiline hook looked back at him, and with just this glance, the man with the tie immediately shut up.

He lifted the reins in his hand.

"No, you go check the details of that Chinese first."
