America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 39 A fire on the farm
"Adam Granger, they are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you. You were just a cowboy here!" The old man stuck his neck and hid behind the bunker, full of confidence.

Adam who was leaning against the fence didn't seem to respond. It seemed that this was not the first time he had experienced this kind of scene. Chen Jianqiu knew that the next second, when he pulled out his gun, a group of people on the opposite side would lie down on the ground.

next second.

The next second the widow hugged the cowboy tightly.

"Don't hurt my dad! Don't hurt him, I beg you, don't hurt him." Tears rolled down her face, pleading to the cowboy, "He is the only relative I have left."

I don't know if it's because I hugged him too tightly, or because I was chilled by the grassland wind, or because I drank too much.

Adam pushed the widow away and began throwing up on the ground, leaning on the fence.

The style of the painting was unsightly, and Chen Jianqiu couldn't help turning his head away.

After the cowboy vomited, he lay down on the grass outside the fence, laughing inexplicably at the starry sky.

th.

"Damn it, this guy is actually a lover." Chen Jianqiu shook his head.

When the old man saw that his daughter had stopped the murderous maniac, he suddenly became bolder. He brandished his gun and shouted at the crowd:

"This man is a wanted criminal! If you catch him, you can get a bounty. Come with me."

After that, he rushed out with a gun.

But in the middle of the rush, she saw her daughter kneeling on the ground. She opened her arms and stopped the crowd rushing towards the cowboy:
"Dad, I beg you to let him go, he is dying, please..."

The old man didn't care about his daughter who was crying like pear blossoms and rain. If he missed this opportunity, he might have to be careful whether his eyes would be opened in the back of his head when he walked in the future.

He walked on to the cowboy anyway, with the gun in one hand and the lashing rope in the other.

"Boss, what should we do?" Xiao En asked Chen Jianqiu as usual.

Chen Jianqiu was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Although this person valued love and righteousness, he seemed to be half useless. Even if he was pulled in, he didn't know if it would be of great use.

What's more, Xiao En and Asuka are both injured now, and there is not much chance of winning by himself in such an open place.

"Boss, should we save him? He saved us once." Asuka was more simple and kind, and said what was in his heart.

"It's all here, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement anyway, let's add another fire."

……

The old man's leg was hugged by his daughter, and he couldn't shake it off.The widow clung to his leg tightly, her crying gradually hoarse.

The farm laborers behind him stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to do.

"Release!" The old man gritted his teeth and kicked the widow away, "Are you blind? He is a villain! He is a murderer!"

He continued to stride toward the cowboy lying on the ground, intending to either tie him up or shoot him dead.

"Old, boss, look over there." A farm worker behind the old man suddenly shouted.He pointed in the direction of the warehouse, where the fire was burning into the sky.

Chen Jianqiu said adding a fire is of course a fire in the physical sense.

The warehouse behind them was piled with all kinds of sundries, and combustibles must be indispensable. Chen Jianqiu found a pile of dried horse manure, but felt that it was not enough, so he simply brought a few bundles of hay from the stable.

A few handfuls of ignited hay were dropped, and the fire quickly sprang up.The wind in the prairie is the best combustion-supporting partner for the flames. When a gust of wind blows, the flames in the warehouse have already licked the roof.

"Damn it, it must be those three despicable bastards!" The old man was very anxious when he saw that his property had been damaged.

He left the cowboy on this side and ran like crazy to the place where the water was stored.

"Fire! Fight the fire!" He called to his workers.

Except for the woman who was crying stupidly on the ground, the rest of the people ran to get the buckets. Several people lined up and passed the buckets around.

Bucket after bucket of water was poured on the raging fire, but the fire was already growing, and this water was just a drop in the bucket.

The old man's face was blackened by the flames, and he sat down on the ground when he saw the warehouse that was about to be burned to ashes.

At this time, four horses passed by the fence behind the warehouse and headed towards the mountain without stopping.

The old man was burning with anger, his eyes were red, and he jumped up from the ground.

"Get on the horse and chase them all. Don't live, just die. If you kill someone, I'll give you $50!"

Chen Jianqiu on the horse heard the old man's yelling, he couldn't laugh or cry, this old man is too stingy, his head is worth 150 dollars now, as for the half-drunk and half-awake elder brother lying on the skinny horse, although I don't know how much it is worth, but it shouldn't Will be less than $500.

The farm laborers are not professional gunmen, but the folk customs here are aggressive and gangsters are rampant, so everyone is not timid, and with the blessing of the bounty, each of them takes the lead bravely, shooting at the four horses in front.

Both Xiao En and Asuka were injured, so they could only dodge on their horses. Chen Jianqiu didn't have a spear, so he pulled out his Colt and fired a few shots at the back.

Missed a shot.

"It's too good." The person on the skinny horse woke up at some point, but then began to vomit on his stomach again.

Chen Jianqiu didn't say anything when he heard this, "As long as you are awake half of the time, we don't have to be chased by these cattle breeders."

"I used to raise cattle too, vomit~~~" Adam was still vomiting, and it seemed that he had even vomited out bile.

"Steady your center of gravity, control your muscles, follow your gaze, don't stare at a certain point, aim at a certain area." Adam said suddenly.

Without time to think, Chen Jianqiu followed his instructions and began to aim backwards.

"Fire!" Adam's voice rang in Chen Jianqiu's ear again, and Chen Jianqiu pulled the trigger decisively.

"boom."

A farm laborer who rushed to the front was hit straight and rolled off his horse.

"Try aiming around the torso next time, it's a big area, vomit~~~" Adam is still vomiting, but it seems that he is already retching.

Chen Jianqiu didn't speak. He turned around and quickly fired the second and third shots, and another farm laborer who was chasing him rolled off his horse.

"Not bad, good talent." After throwing up, Adam lay on the horse, trying to give Chen Jianqiu a thumbs up, but he couldn't lift his hand.

"You'd better take care of yourself first." Chen Jianqiu pinched the black radish's belly, and the black radish rushed forward from the last one to the first one.

Under his leadership, the other horses also speeded up, closely following the black horse king.

Seeing the two men falling off their horses, the rest of the farm laborers became timid and slowed down.

But the old man was red-eyed, and he chased after him alone on his horse.

Suddenly, he saw two more horses ahead, following behind the previous group.

"You bastard, burn my farm and shake people? I chased you all the way to the ends of the earth and killed you."

The old man was talking about being a teenager, and the old man seemed to have returned to the days when he rode his horse to the west several decades ago overnight. He aimed at the last horse in front of him and raised his gun to shoot.

Then, he was pierced by a bullet.
