America 1881: Legend of the West

On a high platform at the exit of the forest, Hanif was lying on the ground with his driver and partner Donnie. They watched the road below.

"Boss, do you think they will pass here?" Downey pulled up a piece of grass on the ground out of boredom and bent the grass into a circle.

The grass in his hand was quickly knocked away by Hanif's slap.

"Pay attention, you idiot." Hanif looked down attentively, "This road is the only way out. As long as they are not suffocated to death in the cave by Pinkerton's gang, they must take it to escape. here."

He moved his hands, which were almost numb from pressure: "Then we can get them down with the tripping rope, and then before Pinkerton's people catch up, we can tie them all up, well, we can also kill them. "

Downey couldn't help but admire the clever calculation of his employer and teacher, and he continued to stare below.

Suddenly, he saw a man riding a horse, running towards this side in a hurry.

There was only a "pounce" sound, the man flipped over, the horse fell to the ground and neighed in pain, and the man on the horse flew out.

"Boss! Boss! Someone has been tricked!" Downey clapped his hands happily, "But why is there only one of them?"

"Shut up! Come with me and catch someone!" Hanif also saw someone rushing to the street, but he kept an eye out to make sure there were no other people following him.

Maybe only one unlucky guy ran out, but unfortunately he could only get $150.

The two men hurriedly slipped down the slope from the high platform with their guns in hand, running towards the man who was leaning against the tree with his head lowered.

"Eh? No, boss, why is that man bald?" Downey discovered the problem first.

Hanif also felt something was wrong. He ran to the man's side, squatted down, tested his breath first, and then began to look at the bald man's appearance.

He stood up and spat on the ground.

"Damn it, I got the wrong person and killed the boss of the Bain family."

……

In the cave, Feiniao and Sean were resting against the bunker. They watched Chen Jianqiu walk out of the tunnel half-covered in blood.

"Boss, just now..." Sean said while panting.

Chen Jianqiu waved his hand, indicating that he could hear it inside: "Is it that person from the tavern?"

Feiniao was also a little surprised: "Boss, how do you know?"

"Guess."

Chen Jianqiu told the truth. From the moment he met this person in the tavern, he felt that this person was a little different, but his intentions were unknown, so he kept a certain distance from him.

"Where are the others?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

"gone."

"Did you leave anything behind?"

"Said nothing."

So aloof? But judging from the fact that he didn't hurt Sean or Asuka, there shouldn't be much malice.

Chen Jianqiu is still a little scared when he thinks about it now. If this person hadn't appeared, his two companions would have been left here.

He finally recruited two dedicated subordinates.

For one he had to wipe his ass constantly, and for the other he was willing to fight half a company of US cavalry.

They both have their own strengths, one is a sneak and the other is a wilderness survivor.

What's more, these two people have been with him through life and death, and have formed a certain revolutionary friendship.

"Boss, what does Adam mean by saying that he wants to repay us just because we opened a room for him in the pub?"

"It's unlikely. However, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions for the time being. Maybe we will meet again if we have the chance."

And then they met really quickly.

At the edge of the forest, on the roadside, a skinny horse stood there quietly.

And his master fell to the ground, lying on his back.

An empty wine bottle dropped by his hand. Judging from the label, it should be the bottle of Scotch whiskey he took from the pub in the morning.

Sean, Asuka, and the well-informed Mr. Holmes looked at each other in confusion.

"Is there a possibility that these are also a pair of twins? The one who saved us in the cave just now is not the same person as this one?"

Sean really couldn't connect the man in front of him with the "Adam, the God of Death" that Rost said before he died.

Chen Jianqiu got off his horse, walked to Adam and squatted down.

He was so drunk that he didn't react at all.

Chen Jianqiu carried him on his horse, but Adam bumped and vomited all the way. The loyal old thin horse followed all the way behind.

They stopped by a river.

Chen Jianqiu washed away the blood on his body and washed Adam's face. Black Carrot was playing with water, looking at the drunk man with a look of disgust.

After Adam washed his face, he seemed to be a little awake.

He stood up and glanced at Chen Jianqiu and the others: "You guys are out?"

Before they could answer, he felt a little top-heavy and almost stumbled. He pointed at Chen Jianqiu and asked, "Are you Chen Jianqiu? That Chinese?"

Chen Jianqiu did not deny it. Although he had not seen the portrait on the wanted poster, there were not many Chinese in the west offering a reward of $150.

"Yeah, not bad." Adam nodded, "The reaction speed is good and the shot is quick. It's a pity."

Chen Jianqiu was confused when he heard this, and then Adam's next sentence broke his superior demeanor:

"Do you have any money left? I don't have any money to buy wine."

Sean and Feiniao were shocked, and couldn't help but secretly curse:

Is this the man known as the God of Death? No matter how you look at him, he looks like a beggar. With his abilities, he should not be reduced to this, no matter what he does.

Chen Jianqiu looked like he was taken advantage of. Without any hesitation, he took out a dollar from his arms and handed it to Adam's hand.

There was no change in expression on Adam's face. He turned around, staggered onto the skinny horse, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Boss, are we still going back to town?" Sean asked. The road to Montrose was peaceful. Only today did we realize that they had been targeted for a long time.

"We won't go back. Let's find a farm nearby to stay." Chen Jianqiu said.

"Will they let us stay overnight?" Sean expressed doubt.

"Don't we have Browning's certificate?" Chen Jianqiu said, "Pinkerton's gang has always kept a certain distance from us and never made any move on the road. For some reason, they chose to block us this time. In the cave. Maybe they are squatting on us near the tavern now."

"The Bain brothers should have chased Montrose directly, but there seems to be another bounty hunter, the one we met in the valley and the Franklin Hotel. What is his name? Oh, yes, Hanif."

Well, yes, it seems that this person has not appeared yet, so be careful.

……

"Boss, what's wrong with this? We killed our colleagues." Downey stared at the corpse in a daze, "His brother will definitely cause trouble for us."

"Did you kill him? Anyway, I didn't." Hanif looked like it had nothing to do with him. "Pack up your things and evacuate quickly. Don't go to the town yet. It's a bit embarrassing to meet his brother. Let's find a farm nearby. Let’s settle down.”

"Okay, boss."

I’m eating out today, so I’ll post a chapter first.
