America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 70 Go, Pitkin
Chen Jianqiu led a group of people to the entrance of the town near the market.

There were not many people in the town, most of them went to the market, and the gate of the security station was closed, and there were a few tattered reward orders posted on the reward list, and the amount on it was pitifully small, even so , also no one seems to be done.

So they swaggered into the town.

"Did Holmes say he was staying at the hotel?" Asuka asked.

"Well, that guy would rather hide in the house and study the map than sell horses with us." Xiao En curled his lips. He was originally left by Chen Jianqiu to stay with Holmes, but the geologist didn't say anything. I am willing to stay with this talkative black skin.

There is only one hotel in the town, and it is easy to find, the biggest one on the main road.

Chen Jianqiu and the others tied their horses to the horse stakes at the door and walked into the hotel.

The hotel is not big, but because it is the market period, people come and go, and the boss is a clerk, inside and out, very busy.

"Excuse me, is there a Mr. Holmes living here?" Chen Jianqiu walked to the bar and tapped on the counter.

"I went out early in the morning and went to the market." The boss didn't even turn his head. He took out a key ring from under the counter and greeted a new customer.

The boss is just talking nonsense, he has no time to pay attention to these people, anyway, at this point, most of them are in the market.

He could only pretend one thing in his mind, but he always felt that the name was very familiar, as if someone came to look for it earlier today, and later came back with a note or something.

Alas, never mind, the gentleman behind is still waiting to open the door.

Chen Jianqiu and the others divided into three groups and went around the market, but they didn't find any trace of Holmes.

Several people reunited at the entrance of the market.

"Have you asked about his whereabouts?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

Both Sean and Adam shook their heads. Only Asuka said that he had inquired from a second-hand painter, and the geologist followed the two men.

Chen Jianqiu asked Asuka, "Have you asked what those two people look like?"

Asuka took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which two human faces were drawn: "I bought it for fifty cents."

The painter's skill is right for every painting he can't sell, the brushwork and composition are very abstract, but they still recognize the people in the painting quickly, because one of them has a raised beard.

"Could it be that these two were the bounty hunters who were chased outside yesterday?" Chen Jianqiu snorted, "These two started earlier than us, could it be that they were chased all the way here?"

"Come on, let's go back to the hotel and have a look."

The owner of the hotel was still busy. Seeing a few people walking in, he went around to the back room without even looking at them. He didn't know what he was busy with.

Chen Jianqiu took out his revolver and fired a shot at the outside of the door.

The gunshot sounded like thunder, and everyone in the hotel lobby squatted down with their heads in their hands. Some people on the street outside the door took cover, and some ran away, far away from the hotel gate. of.

"Boss!" Chen Jianqiu raised his voice.

A trembling head poked out from behind the cabinet, the boss's face was pale.

"If you want money, I will give it to you, don't, don't hurt me."

"Please help me open the door of Mr. Holmes' room." Chen Jianqiu tried his best to look amiable.

The boss found the key ring and led them to the door of a room. He tried several keys but couldn't open it.

Adam waited impatiently at the back, carried the boss to the back, and kicked the door open.

Several people walked in.

"The treasure map and materials are still there, and his luggage hasn't been taken away." Asuka pointed to the human skin on the table by the window.

Chen Jianqiu walked over, put away the things, and put them into his arms.

"His horse is here too." Sean pointed through the window to the stable in the backyard, where the Quarter Horse allocated to Holmes was also parked.

"All, gentlemen, two gentlemen came to him in the morning. They came back later and left a note saying that if they saw a Chinese, they would give it to him."

"Where's the note?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at the boss, which almost made him pee his pants.

"Yes, at the front desk."

"Then why didn't you just give it to us when we first came here." Sean leaned forward.

"I, I forgot in a hurry, hug, I'm sorry." Surrounded by four fierce men, the boss was about to cry.

He walked back to the counter, took out a note from the drawer, and handed it to Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at it, and it was written crookedly: Come to Pitkin if you are brave enough, if you want to get back your accomplices.

He frowned, turned the note over, and handed it to Adam after confirming that there was nothing there.

Adam frowned too.

Regardless of the fact that the person who wrote this note has a problem with both the cerebellum and the brain, why Pitkin?Could this bounty hunter have something to do with Clark?But they obviously hit it off yesterday.

The boss wanted to cry, but when the four of them stood at the bar, all the people in their own hotel ran away, and now there was no one in the lobby except for them.

People from outside are afraid to come in, and people stay away from this hotel.

Because this town is small, there has been no magistrate for a long time. If things go on like this, what business do you still have?
But he was wrong, because someone really came in.

Just as the four of Chen Jianqiu were standing by the bar and discussing the next countermeasures, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the door.

Several horses stopped outside the gate,
The riders got off their horses and walked towards the hotel with the sound of footsteps.

Judging from the sound of footsteps, there were at least seven or eight people.

Those who dare to continue to enter the hotel at this time should not be kind. Chen Jianqiu put down the note in his hand.

The door of the hotel was not closed, and the figures of several cowboys appeared at the gate.

The cowboys raised their heads, saw Chen Jianqiu and the others standing by the bar, and were stunned for a moment.

Chen Jianqiu was also a little strange, because these people on the opposite side obviously knew them. After thinking about it again, these people were the people standing behind Clark last night.

After thinking for a while, he figured out why these people came.

Holmes, this unlucky man, Chen Jianqiu can't count the number of times he has been held hostage, it seems that he is really in demand.

"The next time you come, it's better to come earlier, for example, to drive overnight or something, our horses are fast." Chen Jianqiu smiled.

The leading cowboy was also stupid. He set off after listening to Clark's orders yesterday, but he was still a step late.

However, since kidnapping their accomplices was unsuccessful, let's just kidnap them directly, the boss is too cautious, as long as he gave an order yesterday at the farm, there would be so many troubles.

What "Chinatown double-knife butcher", what "Reaper", shit!

Thinking of this, he stretched his hands to his waist, and the cowboys behind him seemed to have the same idea.

In the next second, there were continuous gunshots in the hotel, clear and rapid.

The hotel owner lay on the floor with his head in his arms. Only after the gunfire stopped did he dare to look towards the door from the gap under the counter.

It didn't matter what he saw, he was almost scared to death, there were cowboy corpses lying here and there.

"You're still three, you haven't improved at all." Adam put the gun back into the holster.

"The one on the far left is mine, four to four, you didn't drink too much, did you?" Chen Jianqiu said angrily, he checked the gun in his hand, and stuffed it back.

Adam straightened his belt and smiled.

Chen Jianqiu adjusted his hat, stepped over the cowboy corpse at the door, and said to the people behind him:

"Go, go, target Pitkin!"
