America 1881: Legend of the West

As Chen Jianqiu expected, the vanguard of the Ku Klux Klan had arrived at Montrose Town.

The Ku Klux Klan first "ploughed" a dozen Jewish homes in the west of the town. They rushed into the Jewish homes with torches and plundered all the valuables they could find in their homes.

The poor Jews were praying and singing carols at home when they were suddenly robbed by a group of white robes.

The logic of the Ku Klux Klan is very simple. Jews are vampires anyway, and they can always suck them back.

They warned these unlucky people not to move easily to ensure that they could continue to suck the blood of "vampires".

After visiting the west side of the town, they rushed into the middle area of ​​the town with weapons and started robbing their neighbors, relatives, and even their parents.

On the other hand, there were a few well-mannered townspeople who barricaded their homes with guns, claiming that their "private territory was inviolable." However, after being hit with several explosives in the yard, they ran out obediently.

The armed march of the Ku Klux Klan finally arrived at the hotel in the center of the town. The bartender went into the basement because he couldn't find the two thugs who usually looked after the place for him. Little did he know that the two thugs and their gang companions were walking away in white robes. At the front of the line.

The gang members pulled the bartender out of the basement, and the bartender had to open every door in the hotel for them.

So Holmes became a prisoner again, but no one in the Ku Klux Klan made it difficult for him.

"Hey, boss, what do you think this is?" a KKK member asked the white hat next to him, holding a map of human skin collected from Holmes, while Holmes stood aside. , honestly, motionless.

"What kind of crap is this?" White Hat was about to throw it away. A group of people climbed up from downstairs. The leader pointed at Holmes and whispered:

"This person is the boss."

Holmes was experienced. He calmly picked up the notebook and the human skin map and followed the group.

"We also found a black man, what should we do?" White Hat blurted out, but he regretted it as soon as he said this.

Yes, what do you think a black man should do if he falls into the hands of the Ku Klux Klan?

Yes, in addition to Holmes, they also found a black man in a second-floor room.

A real black man, so black that they would have missed him if they hadn't taken a torch and swept under the table.

There are not many black people in the town. They live scattered in the town. After suffering discrimination and persecution for many years, they all have a highly keen "political sense".

Therefore, when so-called "ghosts" appeared around the town, and when cases like Sigmund's robbery occurred a few days ago, the black people decisively dispersed into the nearby countryside.

I really couldn't find a place to stay, so I simply slipped into the mountains with some daily necessities.

This black man was an unexpected surprise.

Sean was being held up by two people at this time. His arm was in severe pain. When the white robes rushed in, he was playing chess with Holmes. He hid under the table and was about to wait for an opportunity to draw his gun, but was struck by a torch. Scan everything.

"Hey, hey, brother, can you not touch my wound, damn it." Sean cursed, and he looked around at the person holding him, "Are you playing the role of a snowman? Man? Who the hell can tell me? Down?"

No one paid him any attention. The white hat waved and the two men dragged Sean downstairs.

"Let them stop rushing to make money and gather at the entrance of the town. They still need to do what they need to do." The man in the white robe carrying the guitar was riding on a horse and said to the person next to him, "Also, take that The old man found on the second floor of the hotel was sent to the wooden house next to the grocery store."

This white robe is the leader of the Ku Klux Klan that Camilla is looking for, Thomas Ames.

He has been active in South Carolina for many years, with the main purpose of fighting against constitutional reconstruction. His targets include but are not limited to blacks, people of color, Jews, and Republicans from the north. For those politicians of the Democratic Party, he wants people to give people , ask for money and give money.

Unexpectedly, ten years ago, his behavior angered the newly elected governor for some reason, and he directly used the president to sign a bill to outlaw the Ku Klux Klan and wipe out them all.

Thomas finally understood at this age that bullshit democracy and bullshit politics were not as practical as making money for a person of his status.

I don’t have the courage to raise the banner of anti-government, but I still have the courage to incite white people’s emotions to make money, and it’s very big and leveraged.

Therefore, the original intention of the KKK cannot be forgotten.

So, this black man came at the right time.

Everyone dragged Sean to the entrance of the town.

Sean looked around. Most of the people in white robes had gathered again at the entrance of the town from the homes of various residents.

They have three floors inside and three floors outside, forming a circle around the open space at the entrance of the town. If Chen Jianqiu were here, he would be familiar with it. This formation was very similar to the one in the forest before.

A wooden cross has been erected at the entrance of the town against the sign, and under the cross there are piles of branches and firewood.

"He, they are not going to burn me to death." Sean, who was cursing just now, was dumbfounded.

……

In a small church outside the town not far from the town entrance, Chen Jianqiu stood by the window, took out a pair of binoculars from his bag, and looked toward the town entrance.

"Boss, how are you?" Feiniao asked while observing. His eyesight was very good, but he still couldn't find Sean.

"Tell me, these people are playing the black role-playing of Jesus. Will their religious parents find it disgusting?" Chen Jianqiu put down the binoculars in his hands and handed them to Feiniao.

He did see Sean.

The black man was stripped naked and tied to the cross with straw ropes. His head drooped listlessly, looking like a suffering Jesus.

"They even dared to burn the cross, what's the big deal." Adam sat on the bench in the chapel and said disapprovingly.

"How do we save him?" The kind-hearted Feiniao asked this crucial question.

"Hey, isn't it just pretending to be a ghost? I'm good at this."

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the altar in the chapel behind him and the priest squatting in the corner at a loss, and smiled.

……

It was a very cold night in Montrose in early October. The naked Sean was tied to the cross. A cool night breeze blew by, making the naked Sean shiver.

But Sean didn't dare to raise his head, because there were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at his naked body below.

It’s over, people have seen it all, and they don’t even want to give me a piece of cloth to cover my lower body.

"This Nig, he and his gang of colored people have committed heinous crimes, because their nature is despicable, I am not even willing to hand them over to the police officer for ransom, because the gallows is not enough to cleanse them of their pollution !For them, the best way to deal with it is fire!"

A man in a white robe waved a reward warrant he had obtained from nowhere and delivered his speech passionately.

After the death of the previous substitute, Thomas, who loved to play the piano, found a new one. At this time, he was looking at the substitute with satisfaction from behind. It had a familiar smell and a familiar feeling. He had at least five such substitutes.

After speaking, the white robe took the torch from the person next to him and threw it into the pyre at Sean's feet.

Sean felt extremely warm, a warmth that could kill him.

"It's over, it's over, I'm going to die here today."
