America 1881: Legend of the West

The next day, outside Pitkin County, Sheriff Danny's house.

The cabin was a bit crowded.

The Dannys gave up their beds to the wounded and intellectuals, and Sean and Holmes just "snuggled" in a big bed all night;

And they themselves slept in their son's room,

On the day he turned 18, Danny's son left Pitkin to find his own world outside of Colorado.

But one day three years ago, the cowboys who went out with him returned to Pitkin, and they also brought back the news that his son was missing in New Mexico.

The Danies always believed that their son would come back, so the room remained as it was when their son left.

"What are your plans next?" Chen Jianqiu asked Danny, leaning against the door of the room.

Danny put down the photo frame with his son's photo embedded in his hand: "I don't know."

"Pitkin is safe now, but there is so much commotion here and so many people have died. It will be difficult to say in two days." Chen Jianqiu did not say clearly, but Pitkin is basically a mess now, and no one can be sure that it will happen later. what happened.

"What about you?" Teresa asked as she was arranging clothes beside the bed.

"We are going south to New Mexico to find a treasure left by the Aztecs." Chen Jianqiu was very frank and unreserved, "Are you interested in joining us?"

Danny was lost in thought, but Teresa answered for his husband: "No problem."

"I want to find my son." This straightforward woman said simply, "I'm fed up with this peaceful but powerless life."

"Okay, while we are looking for the treasure, we will also inquire about your son." Chen Jianqiu nodded, turned around and walked out of the room.

Adam was lying on a chair in the living room, his hat fell on the floor, and a wine bottle fell from his hand. It looked like he had drunk too much again.

Chen Jianqiu picked up the hat from the ground and covered his face.

He walked out of the house and walked into the nearby warehouse.

A lantern was hung on the pillar of the warehouse, and Asuka, Hanif and Donnie were counting the loot.

"We took as many springfields as we could, as well as some revolvers, explosives and bullets. We put them all on Sean's horse and brought them out." Feiniao pointed at the things placed on the ground, and then he added He took out a bag and handed it to Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu weighed it in his hand and found it was quite heavy. He opened it and saw seven or eight gold bars inside, as well as a large pile of U.S. dollars.

It turned out that the injured Sean was not idle. He found Clark's safe behind the wooden platform while others were moving ammunition.

When it came to finding the trophies, Sean showed his subjective initiative. With his extremely high professionalism and thirst for money, he opened the safe in 8 seconds despite his injured right arm.

There was no Guinness World Record at the time, otherwise Chen Jianqiu would have applied for one for Sean.

Chen Jianqiu took out the pile of US dollars and counted them.

Two thousand US dollars was a huge amount of money, and with those gold bars, I wonder if it was all of Clark's belongings.

Hanif looked aside and looked straight.

He came up and said, "Chen, do you still want to accept people from our team?"

Regarding making money, Hanif thinks very clearly. Work is just to support his family. If being a bounty hunter doesn't make money, then just quit.

People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. You might as well hang out with the person in front of you, maybe you can embark on a prosperous road to make a fortune.

"We don't accept bad luck..." Chen Jianqiu didn't even raise his eyelids. He originally wanted to say "unlucky guy," but after thinking about it, he changed it to a more euphemistic way of saying, "We don't accept people who are unlucky."

He raised his head and glanced at Donnie again: "We don't accept child labor either."

Hanif was about to argue, saying that his bad luck only started recently, and that he was also a well-known bounty hunter before.

But Chen Jianqiu interrupted him.

"But you can be our non-staff member." Chen Jinqiu changed the subject, with a meaningful smile on his face, "You continue to be your bounty hunter and follow us around. Of course, you can also seek our help. Help, I will also decide whether to help you or not."

"Non-staff personnel?" Hanif was confused.

"Yes, if there is an opportunity to make money, I will take you with me. I have only one request. No matter who asks, don't talk about your relationship with us." Chen Jianqiu took some US dollars from the pile and handed them to Hanif , "Take it, and redeem the hat and carriage later."

Hanif suddenly burst into tears of gratitude. During this time, he finally saw the money back.

"No problem, brother, I will prove to you that I am a trustworthy person." He vowed.

The next few days were eerily quiet in Pitkin County.

That night in the hotel didn't cause much trouble. People just thought that the two forces were at war again. They didn't know what the outcome would be.

From that night on, Clark Luckfield and Fred Phelps were never seen again in Pitkin.

The cowboys who originally worked at Larkfield Farm couldn't explain why, except that that night they encountered a devil who could control the trajectory of bullets and fly on the roof.

Only the hotel owner and the few policemen who dropped their guns knew what happened. The police kept silent. The unfortunate hotel owner visited the county magistrate's mansion several times and asked for the hotel's maintenance fees.

Naturally, the county magistrate closed the door and thanked guests, claiming that he had a bad cold.

Sheriff Danny finally appeared again and knocked on the door of the county magistrate. Several people followed him and walked into the magistrate's house.

No one knows exactly what they talked about. All they know is that the next day, the county magistrate miraculously recovered from his cold, and for the first time, he showed up on a day other than festival celebrations.

He announced the following things:

First: There was a fight between the Larkfield Gang and the Phelps family. The gang leader Clark, together with Mountie Captain Fultz, killed Fred Phelps and plundered the Phelps family's wealth.

Second: The county Sheriff Danny Romney and his righteous friends went to investigate the truth, but were attacked by two gangs who viciously surrounded the Sheriff in the hotel. But fortunately, God was kind and the Sheriff and his friends were fine.

Third: Clark and Fultz had a fight at Larkfield Farm due to uneven distribution of spoils, and both ended up losing. The bandit leader Clark and the fallen Mountie Captain Fultz both died of gunshot wounds.

Fourth: The two most evil forces have been eliminated. Regarding the actions of Mountie Fultz, he will appeal to the state government and seek justice for the injured hotel owner. Prior to this, the cost of hotel maintenance was borne by the county. Advance payment.

Fifth: Sheriff Danny resigned as Pitkin County Sheriff due to personal reasons. We will always remember what he and his brave friends have done for Pitkin County.

After making these announcements, the county magistrate hurriedly walked off the stage and got into the house.

"Boss, why do I think what he said is true?"

Behind the crowd, Sean, who had a bandage on his arm, took back his head and asked Chen Jianqiu who was about to leave.

"What does it mean to be true? This is obviously true." Chen Jianqiu "accidentally" touched the black man's hand, and the black man screamed in pain.

This manuscript was written by him.

The fires at Larkfield Farm and Phelps Manor burned the two places into ruins, and the surrounding residents did not dare to approach.

He asked Danny to buy a carriage, go around the two ruins, and pick up a lot of good things. Then he stopped by to watch the county magistrate's speech and "accept" the fruits of his labor yesterday.

"Come on, let's go back."
