America 1881: Legend of the West

Hanif and Donnie were afraid of meeting the younger of the Bain brothers, so they took a big detour before bypassing the town.

It was getting late, and the wind made Hanif very comfortable. He saw a farm at the foot of the mountain not far away.

"We can discuss with the farmer to get some delicious food. It's better to take a bath. We can pay them. I've had enough in the past two days." Hanif felt that he had bad luck and needed to change his luck.

"Boss! Look ahead, the farm seems to be on fire!" Downey shouted.

Hanif had an ominous premonition.

They continued walking towards the farm, when suddenly four horses appeared on the road in the distance, galloping towards them.

The speed of these four horses was surprisingly fast. Before they could react, they were already in front of them and passed by them.

Hanif did not see the faces of the four men clearly, because three of them were lying on their horses, and only one was shooting backwards.

Wait, why does that horse look so familiar, and why does that horse's old saddle look so familiar.

"It's those three people!" Hanif understood.

While he was thinking, the four horses had already run far away. He turned the horses' heads and shouted at Donnie, "Chase!"

He pulled out his long gun from his horse and pointed it in front. His horse shooting was known to be excellent, and the bullets of his long gun were all modified by himself, making them faster and more lethal.

Whether it was a bear hunter in Wyoming or a serial murderer in Utah, they all died under his gun.

"Go to hell, you bastards."

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a gunshot sounded from behind.

"Boss, someone is shooting at us from behind!" Downey shouted from behind.

"Then fight back, you idiot! Just scare him away." Hanif was annoyed. He turned his head, and when he looked forward, the four horses had already turned into the mountains.

Several shots rang out from behind, then silence.

"Did they retreat?" Hanif turned around and asked, but he saw Donnie's embarrassed face.

"Boss, we seem to have killed someone again."

Hanifu suddenly felt bad. He looked behind him and saw an old man lying under the horse. Next to him were two men dressed as farmers riding horses. They looked at them from a distance and did not dare to move forward.

He felt a tightness rising in his chest.

……

A few days later, several uniformed state agents arrived in Montrose, receiving reports of a particularly egregious homicide.

It turned out that they had long heard about the poor security situation in Mondros, and it was normal for a few people to die in the west.

But the notorious "Reaper" - Adam Granger appeared here a few days ago, and at the same time as him, there were three villains who had recently fled to Wyoming and Utah. They were the "Eviscerator" , "Black Maniac" and "Indian Thug."

What's strange is that they asked the bartenders of the taverns and the owners of the gun shops in the town, and they all said that they had no interaction with these three people. They just came and went in a hurry, visited a few shops and then left.

"No, I have never seen them, otherwise I would have brought them to justice." Sigmund, the local police chief, vowed.

When they found the victim, the farmer's daughter, the poor girl had lost her husband and now her father, and she could ask nothing but cry.

However, when they saw the wounds on the farmer's body, an experienced detective with an upturned beard emerged in his mind, and he named him - the bounty hunter Hanif. He was the only one. Use this flowering bullet that breaks open.

So, about ten days later, new bounty notices were posted in various places in Colorado, including their capital, Denver.

Adam, the "God of Death", increased his bounty by 1000 US dollars from the original 100 US dollars. Each of the three people's bounty was increased from 150 US dollars to 250 US dollars; and the famous bounty hunter Hanif was also on the list with them. , $250.

……

"Boss, are our nicknames so ugly now?" Near a railway transfer point in Denver, Sean glanced at the bounty notice posted at the station door, and he couldn't help lowering his hat.

At the early morning transfer point, there was no one alive.

"Adam, so you are so valuable?" Chen Jianqiu looked at the photo on the notice. The Colorado state police found a frontal photo of him from nowhere. It seemed to have been taken when he was arrested in Shiquan, and the one next to him was Adam is obviously much more handsome than he is now.

At this time, Adam was still a little depressed. During these ten days in the mountainous area, he was awake at least half of the time. But whenever he encountered a caravan carrying groceries or a traveler carrying wine on the mountain road, he used various The method hints at Chen Jianqiu.

So from time to time he would have two bottles of rum, gin, or some unknown bulk distilled liquor in his saddle bag.

"Why don't you tie me up and exchange for the bounty, and I'll pay you back for the wine." Adam said in a daze.

Chen Jianqiu looked at his helpless expression and was a little speechless. When this guy was conscious, he would teach Chen Jianqiu some tricks from time to time.

"I will only say it once and I will only demonstrate it once." He took out the Colt M1873 gun nicknamed "Peacemaker" from his waist, drew the gun at a speed that Chen Jianqiu could not see clearly, and fired.

Six unlucky birds fell from the sky and they had an extra dinner.

Adam lay back under the tree, covered his face with his hat, and fell asleep soundly.

Fortunately, this adult is very forgetful. Whenever he gets drunk again, he will forget what he said before and demonstrate it to Chen Jianqiu again.

When Chen Jianqiu was in the mountains, he would try to practice. Most of the time, he still practiced still life aiming. The objects of practice were stones or the empty wine bottles left after Adam drank.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he would only practice far away from the camp. Who knows what kind of ghosts and monsters are following them now.

Chen Jianqiu also told Adam their purpose without reservation.

"We are looking for a treasure. Are you interested in joining us?"

Adam was sitting by the campfire, his hat covering his head. It was unclear whether he was asleep or awake.

After a while, his deep voice came from under the hat.

"I'm dying."

Chen Jianqiu thought he was joking that night and was just telling it to his sweetheart, but Adam took off his hat and looked at him with extremely clear eyes.

"I am seriously ill and no doctor is willing to treat me. They all say I am hopeless."

He pointed to his heart, his eyes gradually dimming.

"I originally planned to die after meeting Elizabeth. Since you said so, I will go with you."

Chen Jianqiu didn't understand his logic for a while.

"Because I want to continue drinking." Adam's reason seemed a bit hasty. "You can just take my ashes back to New Mexico and scatter them wherever you like."

"What did you do there? So memorable?"

"Robbing a bank."

"Where's the money?"

"It's all spent."

……

Chen Jianqiu didn't know how many of Adam's nonsense that night were true and how many were false, so his thoughts returned to the present.

Just as he was looking at the notice, an old man wearing a bamboo hat tore off the bounty notice. He walked in front of Chen Jianqiu's horse and pulled his reins:

"Come with me."

This is a Chinese saying.

The old man raised his head, and a yellow-skinned face appeared under his bamboo hat.
