America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 30

If Sean was still worried about being followed and ambushed when he first entered this town, then his current appearance fully reflects the inherent optimism of black people.

Sean, who had changed into new clothes, was very happy, and he began to dance on the road, even though there was no one to accompany him.

Chen Jianqiu looked up at the moon that had already appeared in the sky, feeling a little emotional.

Happiness is sometimes a kind of talent.

He had talked to Sean one night after that bloody rainy night, by the campfire, when Bird and Browning were asleep.

"Sean, what are you going to do after you find the treasure?"

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it, but it's better to have money than to have no money."

"Haven't thought about taking the money home and doing something?"

"Home? I don't know where my home is. I've been driven like a beast and been wandering since I can remember. Although this country is big, there is no home for me."

Sean's expression darkened for a moment, but he quickly recovered his smile.

"What are you thinking about? Let's survive first. The future is always worth looking forward to. Hey, boss, let me tell you, our heads are worth a lot now..."

Chen Jianqiu did not listen to what was said later, he was thoughtful:
"Family?"

……

"Hey Sean, how about we have some fun tonight?"

Chen Jianqiu recovered from the memory, he suddenly said to Xiao En.

"I think this journey has been too smooth, let's keep a low profile." Asuka remained cautious.

"Come on, come on, we have to listen to the boss, this place is hundreds of kilometers away from Wyoming, what are you afraid of?" Sean said, pulling the bird forward.

Chen Jianqiu watched from behind. He took out a pack of cigarettes he had just bought at the grocery store, tilted his head and lit one.

very nice.

The three of them wandered into a tavern in the town.

It's not completely dark yet, but the tavern is already lit up, in stark contrast to the tranquility and peace of the day, and now the place is very lively.

The tavern has two floors, probably the largest building in the town, with the tavern on the first floor and guest rooms on the second floor.

There were people in all kinds of dresses in the tavern, including cowboys, fur dealers, timber merchants, etc., and some unidentified women wandering among the crowd.

Only then did Chen Jianqiu realize that he had underestimated this town before.

Montrose is located in the central and western part of Colorado. On the corridor between the two mountains, there are merchants, brokers, etc. who come and go from north to south. They do different jobs, but many of them will not show up during the day.

The tavern at night is one of the places where they gather.

"Boss, do you have anything to eat?" The berry cake just now didn't fill Sean's stomach, so the three found a table and sat down.

The bartender seemed too busy to deal with them.

Chen Jianqiu sat at the table and began to observe all kinds of people in the tavern.

He found a bearded man sitting in the corner of the bar.

The man was wearing a distressed gray-blue jacket, a light gray scarf around his neck, and a cowboy hat of a similar color with the brim covering his eyes.

He was sitting quietly at the moment, with his arms leaning on the bar, and the wine glass in front of him was already empty.

Chen Jianqiu walked to the front of the bar, took out a five-dollar bill from his pocket, and patted it on the bar.

The eyes of almost everyone around the bar were attracted by this banknote, and some of them even stopped what they were doing and looked sideways.

Except for that man, the night hadn't started yet, but this man seemed to be drunk.

The bartender was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran over from the other side of the bar.

"Sir, what would you like to order?"

"Get three meals and send them to my table, then come over for the wine on the hour, and book three rooms upstairs by the way." Chen Jianqiu said.

"okay."

Chen Jianqiu pouted his lips in the direction of the man, lowered his voice and asked softly, "Who is this person?"

"I came here two days ago. If I have money, I come here to drink. I drink from morning to night every day. If I don't have money, I sleep on the bench outside the store." The bartender replied while taking the wine from the cabinet behind, "That's right. , Would you like some Irish whiskey, to tell you the truth, most people here drink privately brewed wine, and a distinguished person like you should not be used to drinking it."

"Just the Golden Bar." Chen Jianqiu glanced at the wine cabinet behind the bartender.

At this time, the man who seemed to be half asleep and half awake suddenly stood up and spoke in a deep and deep voice:

"Bartender, give me another drink."

The bartender didn't pay him any attention, because he knew the man had no money.

Seeing that no one responded after waiting for a while, the man slammed the cup on the bar counter heavily.

The tavern does not have the rules of driving people away, but it is not necessarily the case if there is trouble.

The bartender got a little angry, and winked at the two strong men who were obviously thugs next to the bar, and wanted to throw the man out.

But Chen Jianqiu waved his hand at him.

"Give that gentleman a bottle of whiskey, the better one, and charge it to me."

Without saying a word, the bartender took a bottle of aged Irish whiskey from the cabinet and handed it to the man.

"Fortunately, someone over there will send it to you." The bartender said angrily.

The man didn't even raise his head, he just filled his glass and drank it clean in one gulp.

Chen Jianqiu sat back at his desk.After a while, the bartender came over with three plates of delicious pies.

"Come and try our signature barbecue pizza, baked by pure wood fire, and everyone who has eaten it is full of praise."

Chen Jianqiu took a piece and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, the meat was tender and fragrant.

"Eat it while it's hot." He said to Asuka and Sean, this may be the best thing he has eaten since time travel.

The bartender bent down, grabbed a large handful of change, and handed it to Chen Jianqiu: "This is the change for you, please keep it."

Chen Jianqiu picked up a 20-cent coin from the inside and threw it to him. The bartender smiled happily. Most of the people who come and go in this town are rough people.

The three of them ate while chatting about their past experiences, as if they were not three fugitives with a huge reward on their heads, but tourists who came to travel.

"Boom"

The people at the two tables next to each other got into a scuffle for some reason, and the table was overturned to the ground, and seven or eight people began to fight each other.

The people who approached all backed away one after another. Some of them walked to the stairs on the second floor, and some hid near the bar counter. They didn't want to be involved in this chaotic scene.

The bartender is very calm. Fighting in taverns is very common. When there are few people, two thugs on his side can solve the problem; Negative, and compensation together.

This is a unique rule here, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.

Of course, another principle is that no guns can be used in the tavern, otherwise, the guns sold by the Browning family will make those who use them understand what it means to be a soldier of all people.

The group fight was very intense, and after a while two or three people were lying on the ground.

One of the burly men, flushed from the alcohol or from the ongoing fighting sport, knocked out his opponent with a punch, wiped his face, and tried to help his teammate.

At this time, his teammate was being suppressed by a man who was obviously bigger than him. The red-faced man looked around, picked up a chair, and walked over.

But when he was halfway there, he was bumped.

The person who hit him was the man who was drinking alone at the bar just now.
