America 1881: Legend of the West

"Go back to the woods!" Chen Jianqiu ran towards the woods as fast as he could.

There was another gunshot, and he jumped forward, then rolled, and rolled into the woods.

Chen Jianqiu got up, touched his body, and found that he was lucky not to be shot, so he leaned against the tree trunk and looked outside.

The other three men also entered the woods.

"It's Sharps 1874, a large caliber. She wants you to be smashed to pieces." Adam leaned his back against the tree trunk and said meaningfully, "This bitch is too vindictive."

He could tell the model of the gun just by the sound of the gunshot, and of course Chen Jianqiu knew who he was talking about.

I really can't mess with a woman, just tear off a corner of her skirt.

"Over there!" The bird pointed at the swooping corn, which was attacking the target below.

"What's wrong, this stupid bird never died."

Chen Jianqiu secretly yelled that it was bad. Corn was now his No. 1 scout. It would be a pity if he died at the hands of this woman.

Sure enough, the woman's gun went off, but this time it was probably a pistol.

When the shot was fired, the corn had already dropped very close to the ground, and it was invisible from Chen Jianqiu's perspective.

Don't get into trouble! Don't get into trouble!

Chen Jianqiu muttered silently, he did not hear the whine of the corn, hoping that this stupid bird would not be shot to death.

A figure suddenly ran out of the bushes in the distance and appeared in their field of vision. She moved quickly towards the distance. This man was wearing a light-colored cloak made of unknown materials, which blended seamlessly with the surrounding environment; but when he ran, Chen Jianqiu could still vaguely see a hint of red through the gaps in the cloak.

The woman whistled, and a white horse ran over from the forest in the distance. The woman got on the horse and ran away.

The horse was running, and the corn jumped from the bushes into the air, but it seemed that a small piece of feathers was missing from its body, and it must have been injured.

This stupid bird seemed to be unwilling to let go, and planned to continue chasing in the direction of the woman.

Chen Jianqiu breathed a sigh of relief and whistled,

The corn flew back unwillingly, swaying all the way and almost falling flat.

Chen Jianqiu took the rifle, raised it and gestured in the direction of the white horse.

"The range and accuracy are not enough, don't waste bullets." Adam expressed his judgment.

"It seems that this woman has convinced us." Chen Jianqiu put down his gun and watched the white horse go away.

It was 800 yards from their place to the hiding place of "Red Clothes". Chen Jianqiu took several other people and walked over. This was a bush dominated by sage. There were obvious traces of being stepped on on the ground. From there, a trail of blood was left.

It seems that Corn also left some souvenirs for her.

Camilla "Red" is injured.

He was still a little scared when he thought about it now. This woman was really a bit sinister. If she hadn't had the corn this time, she would have died on the spot.

If there are a thousand ways to die in the West, being shot to death from a distance is definitely not considered decent.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Adam next to him with admiration. This man was unshaven, unkempt, with a black face and a bad mouth. Although he had excellent marksmanship, he was in a state of unconsciousness at least half of the time. It was really a blessing to survive in the West until now. Not easy.

But unlike Asuka and Sean, he never quite understood the person in front of him.

There are too many mysterious and irrational things about this person, so I have been careful to keep a distance from him.

"By the way, Adam, last time you said you robbed a bank in New Mexico?" Chen Jianqiu suddenly asked without any clue.

"Ah? Did I say that? When did I say that?" Adam looked confused.

"You also said you were going to die." Chen Jianqiu added, "You said it to your old sweetheart."

"Yes, I remember this sentence." Adam nodded, "And it's true. Also, let me correct you. Elizabeth is not my old sweetheart, she is my first lover."

Chen Jianqiu didn't want to talk to him anymore. He felt that any more words to this drunkard would be a waste.

Adam didn't know what the man next to him was thinking. He suddenly missed the bottle of Erguotou in his old horse's saddle bag, so he said to Chen Jianqiu:

"Chen, let's go back."

When they passed the bear cave, they cleaned the battlefield and checked the bodies of the mounted policemen to see if there was anything useful. In the end, they only found some ammunition, and they also picked some for Sean and Holmes. A revolver.

From a Chinese cultural perspective, Chen Jianqiu really didn't want these mounted policemen to expose the corpses in the wilderness, so he and Feiniao moved the intact corpses into the cave.

As for those that are so rotten that they can only be shoveled or picked up slowly, they can only be returned to nature and buried in the bellies of vultures or coyotes.

Chen Jianqiu checked the corn's injuries. There were only a few scratches on its wings. It seemed that it was as lucky as its owner. It was grazed by a bullet. As for the few missing feathers, they grew back within a few days.

Asuka even wanted to peel off the bear's skin. Such a big bear skin must be worth a lot of money, but when he got closer and carefully inspected the bear's body, he was so angry that he cursed in Indian language.

These white skins are really a waste of natural resources. The bear skin has been beaten to pieces. Even the most generous fur dealer probably won't pay a cent for this skin.

Even the bear's torso is riddled with lead bullet holes, making the bear's meat inedible.

However, Chen Jianqiu, a Chinese, still found something useful. He cut off the bear's limbs and feet and hung them on the back of the horse.

"I'll give you a taste of something delicious tonight."

Several people returned to the hunter's cabin. Chen Jianqiu took the bear's paw off the back of the horse and got into the temporary kitchen they had built.

He first mixed a pile of wet mud with water, then slowly wrapped the bear's paws, and then threw the four tightly wrapped bear paws into the pile of firewood.

When he turned around, there were lumps of black wet mud on his hands. He saw several people gathered behind him to watch the fun, and he suddenly frowned:

"What are you doing? Come and help!"

So, almost everyone was assigned a task. Asuka and Holmes went to the woods to find some spices, mainly purple thyme and wild onions. Adam went to get the preserved honey, while Sean was left behind. around.

"Boss, do I have any tasks?" Sean felt that he was particularly honored.

Chen Jianqiu didn't say anything, so the two of them squatted next to the fire for a long time, until Chen Jianqiu suddenly clapped his hands and pulled the four mud dumplings out of the fire.

He held Asuka's Indian tomahawk and used the back of the ax to break open the mud balls one by one.

The fur on the bear's paw has all fallen off along with the mud shell outside.

Chen Jianqiu found a wooden basin, filled it with some warm water, put the bear's paw that had lost its fur in it, and then handed it to Sean along with a dagger:

"Get the hair off it."

Until everyone else came back, Sean was still picking at the bear's paws with a frown on his face.

Chen Jianqiu boiled the water, put the bear's paw in, and stretched out a hand to Adam.

Adam didn't understand what it meant, so Chen Jianqiu simply ran behind the old horse and took out a bottle of Erguotou from the saddle bag.

"Oh, no, Chen, don't do this, this is my last bottle." Adam covered his face in pain.

Chen Jianqiu poured a small amount directly in, and Adam felt his heart bleeding.

After cooking for a long time, the chef took out the bear's paw, then took honey and spread it on the bear's paw. After leaving it for a while, he put it into another bowl with thyme, wild onions and several spices found by the birds. In the pot.

"It's a pity that there is no soy sauce." Chen Jianqiu shook his head regretfully.

From afternoon to evening, the fire was simmering slowly, and the entire area around the hunter's cabin was gradually filled with a mouth-watering fragrance. This fragrance included the unique fragrance of bear's paws and the spicy fragrance of thyme. .

As night fell, several people sat at the table, feasting on the pot of bear paws brought by Chen Jianqiu.

"Boss, I didn't expect that the food you made was so delicious." Sean's mouth was full of oil, while the others were basically the same as him, either munching or tearing apart the meat.

However, a sudden knock on the door interrupted their meal.

Malik's voice rang out:

"Chen, Chen, something happened!"

Second update, late, sorry
