America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 132

When Chen Jianqiu and Astor appeared near Santa Fe, it was already a week later.

It was the last week of October, and the weeds on both sides of the road had already turned withered yellow, blending with the color of the soil.The wind from the North Pacific cannot blow against the Rocky Mountains, and the dry and rainless New Mexico wilderness has entered late autumn.

"Mr. Chen, let's take a break. I'm too tired from the journey, and I can't eat or sleep well." Astor looked frustrated.

This week of wind and sun has caused this rich young man with thin skin and tender flesh to suffer a lot. His skin has turned black and yellow, dry and cracked, and his hair is messy, like hay.

Since he was a child, he has never been without a bath for more than three days, but so far, except for his lips, other parts of his body have not been wet for almost ten days.

But the black radish in front didn't mean to stop, and Chen Jianqiu's "intimate" words also passed on:

"Master Astor, you should have been missing for more than ten days. The elders in the family must be very anxious, so we should hurry up."

Astor was about to cry: "You can hand me over to the policeman or the local sheriff directly! Where there are people, I will do it! I will definitely find a way to give you the money! I swear in the name of the family! "

Chen Jianqiu shook his head: "It seems that the young master is still not very clear about the situation in New Mexico. It was only returned to the United States decades ago, but it seems that the masters of the Federation are not very concerned."

"In addition to the Indians, there are robbers, liars, and gamblers here. I really can't bear to leave you alone in such a place."

"So, I must personally send you safely. This way I can rest assured." Chen Jianqiu turned his head and gave Astor a bright smile.

Astor was extremely helpless, he finally understood why Chen Jianqiu was so reassuring about him, and even found a horse for him to ride alone.

No matter how I tried to escape along the way, this young man who was not much older than me saw through at a glance, and then lightly made himself suffer.

There are more and more passers-by along the way, and it seems that Santa Fe is not far away.

But at this time, the housekeeper in Santa Fe City was already like an ant on a hot pot.

Astor IV has been missing for more than a week, and his life and death are still unknown, but the two bounty hunters who have high hopes have been finding various excuses to stay in Santa Fe without any progress.

This morning, he couldn't bear it any longer and rushed into Hanif's hotel room.

"Sir! When can you go and find my young master?!" the butler suppressed his anger, maintained his gentlemanly appearance, and said to Hanif who was picking his fingers at the table.

Downey also came from the next room and leaned against the door.

"Hurry up! I'm waiting for my informant to reply to my message." Hanif calmed down and straightened his hair.

"It's been eight days! It's been eight days! My husband! There's no progress at all! How can I explain to my master!" The housekeeper couldn't hold back his anger.

"Come on, come on, New Mexico is so big and the environment is so complicated, my informants are about to achieve phased results." Hanif explained.

No matter how good the butler's temper was, he couldn't stand it any longer. He yelled at Hanif: "You guys go and act for me right now, do you understand! Immediately! Immediately! Otherwise, you two liars are waiting to be sued Bar!"

"Don't forget, the money for the room you are living in now is paid in advance!" The butler left the door and slammed the door out.

Downey at the door stepped away from the butler, turned his head to watch him hurried out of the hotel, and then trotted to Hanif's side.

"I'm going, master, I've been with you for so long, and I don't know that you still have eyeliner here!" Donnie said, since Hanif stopped himself from calling him "boss", "master" became the substitute. title.

After Hanif watched the butler disappear at the intersection through the window, the confidence and calmness on his face disappeared in an instant, and he turned into a sad expression:
"I have fucking eyeliner! I don't even speak Spanish!"

He stood up, packed his equipment, and took off the hat hanging on the hanger at the door: "Come on, let's go out and take a walk."

In fact, Hanif originally wanted to find Chen Jianqiu, and his early plan was to investigate from the place where the train derailed in the second half.

But on the first day, he drove his horse up to a small mound outside the city of Santa Fe. Looking at the boundless wilderness outside the city, he immediately retreated.

I have been chasing Chen Jianqiu for several months, but I haven't caught up with him. Where can I find him in this unfamiliar place?
But today, he was forced to have no choice but to come out anyway.

Party A is the father, who asked me to collect the deposit.

So, he and Donnie rode to this small mound again.

"Master, what should we do next?" Downey asked.

"Wait, or go into the wasteland and be beaten to death by the Indians? Stabbed to death? Hacked to death?" Hanif said angrily, "What if the boss passes by here?"

So, the master and the apprentice dismounted, squatted on the hill, and looked at Santa Fe's way into the city.

Hanif must not know that there is a Chinese idiom called "waiting for the rabbit", but in the afternoon, he really waited for the rabbit to come.

Just as the two of them were dizzy from the sun-baked hair, they were about to go home and make up a progress with the housekeeper.

Chen Jianqiu's figure appeared, and the other person beside him was also known to them, and they had seen his appearance in the photo given to them by the housekeeper.

It's Astor.

These two men were riding behind a caravan, slowly heading in their direction.

"Damn, I said that following the boss is absolutely right, even luck has improved!" Hanif jumped up from the ground, and waved excitedly in Chen Jianqiu's direction, "This way! Chen! Boss! This way!"

Chen Jianqiu was thinking about his plan after entering the city, when he suddenly heard someone calling him not far away.

He raised his head and saw Hanif and Downey on the mound. They looked like shrimps in a frying pan, dancing happily.

"Why are these two live treasures here?" Chen Jianqiu frowned, he didn't remember arranging new missions for them.

Hanif Pidianpidian ran up, and he winked at Chen Jianqiu who was on the horse, signaling to whisper to him.

Chen Jianqiu bent down.

"Boss, this is a big fish!" Hanif pouted at Astor behind him.

"Ah."

"Boss, I got the exclusive right to rescue this man."

"Ah."

"Let's discuss it and kill him hard, what do you think?"

"Well, let's talk on the horse."

……

Chen Jianqiu listened carefully, while Hanif boasted about himself, telling him the cause and effect of his side.

The two rode side by side in front, whispering non-stop, plotting something, the voice was so small that Astor and Donnie behind couldn't hear them.

The four horses moved forward and unknowingly entered the city of Santa Fe.
