America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 40 The bounty has risen again

Hanif and Donny were afraid of meeting the younger brother of the Bane brothers, so they made a big detour before they went around the town.

It was late and the wind was blowing comfortably for Hanif. He saw a farm not far away at the foot of the mountain.

"We can discuss with the farmer to get some delicious food, and it is better to take a bath, and we can pay them. I have had enough these two days." Hanif felt that he was unlucky and had to change his luck.

"Boss! Look ahead, that farm seems to be on fire!" Downey yelled.

Hanif had an ominous premonition.

They continued to march towards the farm, and 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 had already reached their eyes and passed them by.

Hanif didn't get a good look at the faces of the four men, because three of them were lying on their horses, and only one was shooting in the back.

Wait, why does that horse look so familiar, and how does that horse's dilapidated saddle look so familiar, too.

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

While he was thinking, the four horses had already run a long way. He turned the horses' heads and yelled at Donnie, "Chasing!"

He pulled out a long gun from his horse and aimed it at the front. His horse shooting is known as a masterpiece, and the bullets of his long gun have been modified by himself to be faster and more lethal.

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

"Go to hell. Bastards."

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, there was a shot from behind.

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

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

There were a few gunshots from behind, then silence.

"They retreated?" Hanif turned around and asked, but he saw Downey's embarrassed face.

"Boss, we seem to be killing people again."

Hanifer felt bad. He looked back and saw an old man lying under the horse, and two people dressed as farmers riding horses beside him, watching them from a distance, not daring to move forward.

He felt a puff rise in his chest.

……

A few days later, several uniformed state agents arrived at Montrose with a report of a particularly egregious homicide.

They had heard about the lax law and order 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, there are three villains who have been wandering around Wyoming and Utah recently. , "Black Madman" and "Indian Thug".

What is strange is that they asked the bartender of the tavern in the town and the owner of the gun shop, and they all said that they did not have any intersection with these three people. They just came and went in a hurry, patronized a few shops and then left.

"No, I have never seen them, or I would have brought them to justice." The local sheriff Sigmund vowed.

When they found the victim, the farmer's daughter, the poor girl had lost her husband and now her father, and she couldn't ask anything but weeping.

Instead, when they saw the wounds on the rancher's body, an image of an upturned mustache appeared in the mind of an experienced detective, and he said a name-Hanif, the bounty hunter, and only him Use this burst blooming bullet.

So, after another ten days, new bounty notices were posted in various parts of Colorado, including their capital city - Denver.

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

……

"Boss, is our nickname so ugly now?" Sean looked at the bounty notice posted on the gate of a railway near Denver, and he couldn't help lowering his hat even lower.

At the transit point in the early morning, 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 that he was taken when he was arrested in Shiquan. Adam, on the other hand, is obviously much more handsome than he is now.

At this time, Adam was still a little depressed. During the ten or so days in the mountains, he was awake at least half of the time, but whenever he encountered a caravan carrying sundries or a traveler carrying wine on the mountain road, he used various The way hinted at Chen Jianqiu.

So from time to time, there will be two more bottles of rum, gin, or some unknown bulk distilled spirits in his saddle bag.

"Why don't you tie me up for a bounty, and let me pay you back for the drink." Adam said in a daze.

Chen Jianqiu looked at him with a look of lovelessness, and was a little speechless. When this guy was conscious, he would teach Chen Jianqiu a few 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" on his waist, drew the gun at a speed that Chen Jianqiu couldn't see clearly, and fired.

Six unlucky birds descended from the sky, and they got an extra dinner.

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

Fortunately, this lord 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 Adam drank the leftover empty wine bottle.

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

Chen Jianqiu also told Adam their purpose without reservation.

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

Adam sat by the campfire with his hat over his head, wondering if he was asleep or awake.

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

"I'm dying."

Chen Jianqiu thought that he was joking that night, just telling his sweetheart, but Adam took off his hat and looked at him very clearly.

"I got a very serious disease. No doctor was willing to treat me. They all said I was hopeless."

He pointed to his heart, his eyes gradually dimmed.

"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 moment.

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

"What did you do there? So memorable?"

"Rob the bank."

"What about the money?"

"It's over."

……

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

Just as he was looking at the notice, an old man wearing a bamboo hat tore off the reward notice. He walked up to Chen Jianqiu's horse and pulled his rein:

"Come with me."

This is a Chinese sentence.

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