America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 5 Stepping into the Wild West
In the western United States in the 19th century, if you committed a crime in a small town, you can choose to run to the wild with the fastest speed, get into the forest or wilderness, and then you have a great probability of being bitten to death by a cougar or a rattlesnake Poisoned, ganged, starved, and of course, you could die from tuberculosis, tetanus, wound infection.

If you survived and were not caught by bounty hunters, you can choose to cross to another state, so there is a high probability that no state police will chase you again.

But now Chen Jianqiu is not too worried about this issue for the time being. Asuka may know the Rocky Mountains better than ten of him and Sean tied together. What's more, according to Asuka, he is still the son of a tribal hero. Man scalped.

The most urgent task now is how to find the horse.

"I have a horse at the station." Asuka said.

"But there are three of us" Sean's expression couldn't be seen clearly in the dark night, but it sounded a bit sad.

"Go and have a look first." Chen Jianqiu agreed.

The three of them bypassed the main road and walked towards the station in the dark.

When I came to the post station, I saw a brown Appaloosa horse sitting quietly in the stable, enjoying the fodder in the manger.

The stables of the post station were not big, but apart from this horse, the other stalls were unexpectedly empty.

"Huey!" Asuka jumped into the stable with a little excitement. He stroked his beloved horse, and said something in Indian language against the horse's ear, just like treating his lover.

"It's so boring." Xiao En muttered, "Chen, what should we do now? Can the three of us crush that horse to death?"

Asuka greeted this way and motioned for the two of them to come over.But Chen Jianqiu didn't respond to him, his attention fell on a carriage next to the station.

This is the stage carriage, it should have arrived not long ago.A tall Shire horse was bowing its head and pawing its hooves.

"Let's use this one." Chen Jianqiu pointed to the Shire horse, and said to Xiao En, "I'll go untie the lever, and you can go to the stables to see if there is a saddle."

Sean regained his spirits instantly.

Asuka pulled the horse out and came over to help. After Chen Jianqiu untied the harness, Asuka took the reins, patted the horse's neck, and stroked his mane. Indians have a natural affinity for animals. , the tall Sharma turned out to be extremely docile.

"We walked all the way to the southwest, and soon we saw a river, and then went all the way south along the Green River (Green River), into the Uinta Mountains (Uinta Mountains), where my people are." Asuka looked up After looking at the stars in the sky, he determined the next direction.

Chen Jianqiu nodded, took the reins
"What about the Shaun people? Why is it so slow to get a saddle from the stables?" He was a little surprised.

"I didn't see him when I came out just now." Asuka was also stunned.

Suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and the two turned their heads to see that Sean was running towards them with a saddle on his back, followed by a man dressed as a groom, waving a pitchfork in his hand, cursed:

"Son of a bitch, stop!"

"Let's go, let's go." Xiao En rushed to Chen Jianqiu in the blink of an eye, and stuffed the saddle into his hands.

"Are you..." Chen Jianqiu put the saddle on the horse's back, got on the horse by himself, fished the black man onto the horse, and sat behind him.

The groom rushed forward with a fork, and saw three people and two horses in full armor in front of him. He was dumbfounded, and after realizing it, he threw away the pitchfork and ran away.

Asuka raised the gun in his hand, and Chen Jianqiu waved his hand, signaling him to put the gun down.

"As soon as the gun is fired, the pursuers will come faster. Let's get on the horse and go." Jian Qiu turned his horse's head and hoofed towards the direction outside the town, and the bird followed closely behind.

"Didn't I tell you to find a saddle in the stables? Why did you bring out another person?" Chen Jianqiu asked while riding on the horse.

"Those saddles in the stables are rotten. When I passed the room of the post station, I happened to see through the window that the groom was sleeping on a pretty good saddle, so I went in and took it off. As usual, it shouldn't be a big problem. , I don’t know if the piece of firewood that was replaced today is too harsh, the groom actually woke up.”

Chen Jianqiu pulled up the reins, and the Shire horse raised its hooves and crossed a dry tree trunk lying across the road. Xiao En, who was sitting behind the horse, was jolted violently, and his white teeth almost bit off a section of his pink tongue.

"Using a Chinese proverb, your behavior is called 'dogs can't change and eat shit'." Chen Jianqiu suddenly had the urge to throw the guy behind him off the horse, but he still held back.

"Asuka, lead the way!" He shouted behind him.

Asuka whistled and galloped forward.

On the plateau desert under the moonlit night, two horses galloped forward, one behind, and the outline of Shiquan Town gradually became smaller in the dark night, disappearing behind.

"Chen, what's that behind you?" Xiao En patted Chen Jianqiu's waist.

Jianqiu turned his head to look, and there was a little light in the vast darkness behind him.

"This group of people came really fast." Asuka said, "This is the only road west of the town. Should we avoid it?"

The three of them changed their route, left the main road, and turned into the desert. They passed through the bushes and headed for a barren hill not far away.

But no matter how they changed their route, the light behind them still followed.

"Damn, they seem to know where we're going." Sean muttered behind.

"Maybe I followed the trail, Johnny used to be a cowboy." Asuka said.

The three rode to the back of the barren hill.

The wind in the inland of the United States has eroded this landform beyond recognition. Two bare stone hills stand in the wilderness. The moonlight shines through the middle of the two stone hills on the open space covered with various strange-shaped stones. Shadows and shrubs are intertwined. , which is particularly bizarre.

Chen Jianqiu dismounted and drew a shotgun from the horse's back.

"Asuka and I went to check the terrain, you find a place to hide here, we'll be back soon." He took the ax from Asuka's hand, turned around and quickly hid in the shadows with Asuka.

Before Xiao En recovered, he found that only himself and two horses were left in place.

"Um, boss, you... uh, go early and come back early."

He looked around and hid at a big rock not far away.

After a while, Chen Jianqiu and Asuka were still nowhere to be seen.

"Damn, they didn't leave me alone, did they?" Cold sweat broke out on Sean's forehead, "No, the two horses are still here, they shouldn't be far away."

A sudden gust of night wind blew over, making Xiao En shiver for a while. Just now, he was on the horse for too long, and a trace of urination came from his lower abdomen.

He stood up tremblingly, facing the stone, and began to release his pressure.

He suddenly heard a rush of hoofbeats, which made him shiver and almost peed on his pants.

"Boss, there are two horses over there!" A man's voice came, and Sean quickly pulled up his pants and squatted behind the stone, not daring to breathe.

"The horses are here, they can't go far." This time it was Johnny's voice, "Go and search around, they may be nearby. Be careful to keep your weapons."

Another gust of wind blew, and suddenly, there was no sound from there, and the conversation between several people gradually became quieter, only the occasional snorting of horses could be heard.

Sean seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.He wondered if the person who was following him had gone in the opposite direction, and planned to take a look quietly.

But when he turned his head, a gun was on his head.

"I said why there is a smell of urine, so you are here." Under the illumination of the lantern, Johnny's expression looked a little hideous, "Killed someone, stole something, and still want to run?"

Beads of sweat flowed down Xiao En's forehead.
