Chapter Seventy-One: The Limelight
Chapter Seventy-One: The Limelight
This hotel is the only hotel in town that has a restaurant and a room. Yin Hang lives here now.
On the first floor is the restaurant, and all of the above are guest rooms. The hotel is doing well, after all, the town of San Bernardino is relatively large and there are many shops. As a result, there are a lot of foot traders, and it is also the center of the surrounding town, and there are many tourists passing by, although the business of the restaurant is not so prosperous, but there are many people who come to stay.
The two of them went to the window and waited for Demi to come before ordering.
"Are you good at casinos?" Arnold leaned his hand on the table and asked, "I don't know the trick inside, I haven't played anything other than poker." ”
Yin Hang nodded and replied: "I know some, roulette, blackjack, pai gow, horse racing, betting on the big and small, en...... Probably so. ”
Pai Gow is Chinese, but Arnold didn't know much about it, so he didn't pay attention to it at all, but he seemed to be a little interested in horse racing, and said, "Horse racing? What are you going to do? ”
Yin Hang snuffed out the cigar and said, "You can get a piece of land, and then buy some horses, or let the gamblers bring their own horses to gamble." However, the horse racing project needs to be postponed a bit, and we can get the projects I mentioned earlier right. When we have enough money, we can do whatever we want. ”
This is Yin Hang's consistent style, step by step, moving forward steadily.
"What about the mining business, you plan to do it together?" Arnold asked again.
"It depends, and if the two can't be done at the same time, I'm going to get the casino first." Yin Hang said this, of course, he also had his own considerations.
After a while, Demi walked in from outside, and it seemed that she had listened to Arnold's previous words and changed her clothes, so that she looked radiant. Arnold graciously pulled out a chair for Demi.
"What are you talking about? It looks like the surname is full of quality. Demi said as she sat down.
Arnold waved his hand to the waiter and said, "Let's talk about some cooperation intentions, Mr. Eastwood intends to sell a batch of horses to us for the town axe." ”
The three of them ordered some dishes, which were said to be the hotel's specialties, but Yin Hang guessed that not many people would order these dishes all year round.
The few of them chatted while eating, and in the presence of Demi, Arnold did not shy away at all, so Yin Hang also continued to talk to him about the casino's plan.
The three of them ate this meal very slowly, mainly because it solved the troubles of the mayor's family, so Arnold drank a little high. But he's also a measured person, and although his tongue is a little grunting, there's still nothing wrong with his actions.
After eating, Demi sent Arnold home directly, and Yin Hang agreed with the mayor of the town to meet him in the town government, so he parted with them.
After that, Yin Hang returned to his room, left and right, and practiced the skill of drawing a gun.
He had now completed his first objective, firing two shots in quick succession, only to hear one shot; The next set goal is to shoot faster at the first time, and the connection between the third shot and the second shot should be as short as possible.
But this is easier said than done.
Because of Yin Hang's shooting speed, it is now very fast, since watching Sheriff Simon's shot, Yin Hang is now very confident in his speed, and he is definitely not slower than Simon.
But to improve again, it takes a lot of practice to complete, and there can't be a little trick in it. After all, your life is your own, and you can't be sloppy.
He practiced at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of commotion in the street outside. Yin Hang put the revolver into the holster on the side of his leg, then came to the window and looked down. It was found that eight or nine knights with guns on the avenue were showing off their might, and they were riding their horses slowly and proudly. There was also a big cart behind them, and all the corpses were pulled on it, even from Yin Hang's point of view, those corpses were black, as if they were a piece of smoked pork.
People on both sides of the street pointed at them, talking about something with an impassioned expression.
Sheriff Kim #Vito walked at the front of the knights' ranks, the rifle stuck diagonally behind the horse, pointing like a flag to the sky.
He himself pretended to be like a big-tailed wolf, with a serious face, and nodded slowly to the surrounding onlookers. It can be said that it is out of the limelight.
"The sheriff led the team to kill these people?"
"Of course, the sheriff set off more than four hours ago, but he annihilated the gang so quickly, it's amazing."
"Yes, although we thought he was good before, we didn't expect him to have such skills."
“……”。
Similar discussions came and went, even if Yin Hang couldn't really hear it upstairs, he could imagine it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but put a smile on his lips, and he said in his heart: "Reputation is indeed very important to a person, and that will make many people support you and trust you." You also need fame, but in San Bernardino, you can take a break, and as you develop steadily, your reputation will naturally increase. ”
Yin Hang even thought that in the future, whenever people mention the west, they will think of their own name. But the thought only flashed through his mind, and then vanished. Because Yin Hang doesn't like fantasy, what he likes is to move forward step by step.
After seeing Jin #Vito and his party turn the corner and disappear around the corner, Yin Hang once again practiced drawing a gun on his own. I didn't stop until I took a shower in the evening.
The next day, Yin Hang changed into the clean black suit, new hat, and leather boots. Because he didn't have to survey the terrain anymore, he handed his old clothes to the hotel and asked them to help him wash them.
First ate a bite to eat downstairs, then went out of the gate and headed for the mayor's house.
Demi is the only one in the house, and Yin Hang shows that he is here to get a gun.
"Well, Arnold told me last night that you would come and get the gun today. So we're ready" Demi said as she led Yin Hang to the hall, pointed to the pile of things on the table, and continued, "That's it, right?" ”
"Yes, madam" Yin Hang walked closer, put the gun that had already been tied to his shoulder, and said, "Madam, then I will leave first." ”
"Okay, Mr. Eastwood, if you're done, you can come back with Arnold for dinner." After Demi sent Yin Hang out of the door, he waved his hand.
"Thank you for the invitation, and if it's okay, I'll be back with the mayor." Yin Hang nodded, carried his gun, and walked towards the town axe.
Note: "Thank you for the tips of the two book friends of 'Cards that can cut people' and 'Frightened Little Wolf'." ”
