America 1881: Legend of the West

Chapter 75 The Sheriff’s Meeting Ceremony

Danny was on his way to Pitkin with his men.

The sergeant was extremely worried. He was extremely worried about his wife, who had been with him through thick and thin and shared weal and woe for many years. Together they survived the Civil War and escaped the pursuit of the Northern Army. He really didn't want to lose her in this small western town.

If one of Fred and Clark told a lie, then he would have to find a way to save his wife even if he risked his own life.

But if what Fred and Clark said was true, then who else in this town had the ability and motive to kidnap his wife.

Danny suddenly thought of the two bounty hunters who came to see him this evening.

Thinking of this, Sheriff Danny hurried back to Pitkin.

If these two men had not left the county, they should have been found at the only hotel in town.

……

"Is your home in front of you?" Chen Jianqiu asked Teresa behind him, pointing to a house in front of him.

"Yes, when we came to this place more than ten years ago, it was just a small village. Danny cut down the trees in the mountains himself, and then dragged the logs over with the horses. Every piece of wood in this house is He built it with his own hands." Teresa looked proud.

"My dear, every log of this log is so thick. Your husband must be a powerful and experienced lumberjack, right?" Sean touched the pillars of the house and sighed.

Teresa smiled and said nothing.

She walked into the house and hurried out after a while.

"He came back. He was probably worried when he saw the scene in the house. He took away the gun and bullets. We have to find him quickly."

"Let's go to the town and have a look." Chen Jianqiu glanced into the house and closed the door.

The town where the Sheriff lives is not far away. It is connected by a flat road with a small wooden bridge in the middle. Teresa told them that the bridge was also the work of her husband.

"What does this man do?" Xiao Xiao muttered to Chen Jianqiu in a low voice.

Chen Jianqiu touched his chin. A thick beard had grown there. During the time he was wandering in the west, although he would shave with a dagger every now and then, he could only slightly restrain the wantonness of his beard.

After all, he ended up living like Adam's unshaven appearance.

But in Adam's own words, it made him look like a western cowboy, very masculine. If he had grown it longer, he might not be able to tell the difference based on the photos on the wanted poster.

Now, he was also a little curious about what the Sheriff had been doing before, or more accurately, what the couple had been doing before.

"Teresa! Oh my god, why are you here? Sheriff Danny is looking for you everywhere!"

When passing the wooden bridge, a carriage was approaching. A gentleman stuck his head out of the carriage window and shouted to Theresa behind Chen Jianqiu.

"Oh, Mr. Gower, do you know where he is now?" Teresa asked.

"When I came out, he seemed to be inquiring about the whereabouts of the two bounty hunters. He must have gone to the hotel."

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Gower."

Chen Jianqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Okay, now all the problems can be solved in one package, but I don’t know what Chief Danny’s reaction will be when he finds out that they are wanted criminals.

It is now dark in Pitkin County, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and most people have stayed safely at home.

On the way, Chen Jianqiu repeatedly calculated the situation of the meeting with the police chief.

The Sheriff is on the side of the bounty hunter, and on his side, he controls Teresa, confronts her with his gun drawn, exchanges hostages, and sneaks out of Pitkin.

The police chief thinks that he has saved his wife and is on his side, so it will be easier. No matter how big the brains of those two idiots, they can't play any tricks. As for whether to kill or keep, it depends on Then it’s time to give the Sheriff some face.

.......

He was still speculating on various possibilities and thinking about countermeasures.

Sean muttered all the way, Adam was tasting the remaining half bottle of rum, which he found on the box next to Theresa's stable. Theresa saw it, but didn't say anything, while Asuka, Then he remained silent like Chen Jianqiu.

He didn't want to disturb his boss's thinking.

They soon reached the door of the hotel.

After tying up their horses, the group walked towards the door of the hotel.

Chen Jianqiu pushed open the two small door panels at the door. He straightened his hat and raised his head.

A sturdy middle-aged man in uniform met his eyes.

Surrounding the middle-aged man, several people dressed as gunmen gathered at the bar, but except for them and the owner of the hotel, there was no one in the lobby on the first floor.

The middle-aged man's eyes jumped over Chen Jianqiu's shoulders and saw Theresa behind him, as well as the rope marks on Theresa's neck.

A roar suddenly sounded in the lobby on the first floor.

There was no threat, no gun drawn, the middle-aged man suddenly rushed towards Chen Jianqiu like a bear.

Three steps away, the huge middle-aged man suddenly arrived in front of Chen Jianqiu due to some unknown stimulus.

He arched his waist, spread his arms, and hugged Chen Jianqiu's waist.

Chen Jianqiu's figure flashed slightly, and he used his calves to kick the middle-aged man's chin.

The last person who wanted to hug and throw him so much was in Montrose. It is said that the person was in a coma for a night and was delirious the next day. It was only on the third day that he regained his ability to speak.

However, this middle-aged man was much faster than the strong man before. He came closer and suddenly raised his body.

"Snapped!"

This kick hit the middle-aged man's strong pectoralis major muscle below the collarbone.

Chen Jianqiu felt like he had kicked a piece of iron.

The middle-aged man grunted, and it seemed that the kick was a solid one, but his movements did not slow down at all, and his arms moved towards Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu turned sideways and leaned back, trying to avoid the middle-aged man's attack.

However, he still underestimated the middle-aged man's wingspan and determination.

He dodged the powerful bear hug, but the middle-aged man's target was no longer his waist.

A powerful arm as thick as a tree trunk wrapped around his neck.

Chen Jianqiu reacted very quickly. He put one hand between the arm and his neck to prevent it from being strangled, and clasped the arm with the other hand.

But the middle-aged man had no intention of strangling him. He was like a 180-yard truck, crashing into Chen Jianqiu and flying out of the hotel door with him.

The two fell heavily in the middle of the road in front of the hotel. Around them, a large cloud of dust was raised high, like a strong wind.

"Danny!" Teresa held her head.

Asuka wanted to rush over to help, but was held back by Adam.

"Don't worry, he won't suffer any loss."

He was leaning against the door alone, with the rum bottle in his hand placed on the table next to him.

His eyes were now firmly on a few of Danny's men in the hotel, and more importantly.

He saw three people at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

Hanif, his partner Downey. The two men appeared there with Holmes in custody.
