Chapter 104: Duel Wild Horse Town
Chapter 104 Duel Bronco Town "Stomp Stomp!" ”…… As the sound of horses' hooves sounded at the entrance of Mustang Town, seven knights, riding tall horses, rushed straight into the town.
When they entered the town, they brought the reins of their horses with them, so that the horses could slow down so that they would not be splashed with too much dust.
Among this group of people, there was one person in the first place, all black! Black hat, black clothes, black pants, black boots, and riding a black horse.
Even if you sit on a horse, you can see that the person on the horse is very tall and slender, about 1.85 meters! He carried two guns on his legs, and a rifle in the back of the saddle.
Of course, this person is Yin Hang, and in his position slightly behind, there are six people, third from the left and third from the right. Exactly Simon #Maxi Sheriff and Old Donovan, Kyle Jr., and three police department and ranch guys!
At noon today, Eastwood in Locke Town is going to duel with Soros, the leader of Soros's gang, and the news has been known to everyone in Bronco Town yesterday; Therefore, the residents of the town, when they saw a few of them coming in from the entrance of the town, even if they had never seen Yin Hang, knew that the "devil's arms" liked to wear black clothes and carry two guns. Therefore, many passers-by guessed his identity at that time.
"Huh...... Is he Eastwood? I think I was here yesterday! A passer-by said.
"Not really! Yesterday he came with a beautiful girl, and we thought it was a stranger at the time, but we didn't think it was him. A person next to him said.
"Hey! You can help me see if the one with the milky cowboy hat behind him is Simon #Maxi Sheriff from Rock Town. ”
"Yes, it's him, why don't you even know him? He's an old man from Locke, and he often comes to our town. ”
"It's windy, my eyes are squinting."
“……”
"Let me ask you again, when are they dueling?"
"Noon!"
The residents of the town, seeing that one of the protagonists of today's story was coming, dodged to both sides, giving way to a road in the middle for Yin Hang and the others to pass.
Yin Hang raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was now more than eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was almost noon.
Turning his head and looking at both sides of the road, he wondered how to find a place to wait first. It turned out that although the road into the town of Wild Horse Town was very wide, there was only one grocery store in the buildings on both sides of the road.
As for other places, I don't know if there are any other shops, anyway, there is no road into the town; It can also be seen from this that the living standard of the residents of this wild horse town is indeed very low!
"I know the sheriff here, let's go to the police station for a break." Simon on Yin Hangma's side opened his mouth and said.
"Okay." Yin Hang responded; The crowd, led by Sheriff Simon, went straight to the end of the road; A side street, and directly across from it is a police station.
Sheriff Said# Jacob had known about the duel the night before, so he got up this morning and was fully armed; Since there is no deputy sheriff in Mustang Town for the time being, he can't easily leave the town, and he can only leave the town when the fugitives are arrested. Therefore, compared to the overall population of Bronco Town, there are a lot of police officers, there are seven.
I opened the gun cabinet and handed out the only three rifles to the police. As for the revolvers, the officers themselves have them. But what if the remaining four people don't come back to shoot?
Never mind! Sergeant Jacob remembered that in the warehouse behind the police station, there were still a few flint muskets, which were taken out one after another and distributed to everyone. At the very least, it makes his men look like they all have spears.
They waited until midnight at eleven o'clock, and when they were about to change shifts for dinner, they saw a group of seven people from the entrance of the town, riding tall horses, running in, and seemed to have no intention of stopping, and went straight to the police station. Sergeant Jacob gave the order: "Be vigilant!" ”
All the guys tightened their hands on the guns, but before they could reach ten seconds, when the other party arrived, they heard Jacob turn his head and directly lower the collar again, saying, "Relax, it's okay!" Sheriff Simon of Locketown. ”
The guys also knew Simon, and a few of them knew Old Donovan.
"Hey! Simon, look how nervous you guys are making a couple of my buddies. Then again, why not duel in your Locke Town? Jacob asked, looking up.
The crowd dismounted and tied the reins to the bolted horse farm in front of the police station.
Simon turned to look at Jacob and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask him." With that, he glanced at Yin Hang next to him.
"That's right." Yin Hang took the initiative to say: "I heard that there is a wide road into the town in Mustang Town, so I decided to be here. ”
Jacob shrugged his shoulders and said, "yes, it's all from this damn road!" This makes us a duel resort. After a pause, he continued, "You're Eastwood, I know you, do you want to come in and rest?" ”
"Thank you for your hospitality." Yin Hang nodded and led everyone into the Mustang Town Police Station.
When I went in, the tables, chairs, benches and the like were relatively old, but they were okay, at least much newer than the house outside!
Jacob let everyone inside, and then shouted to a prisoner in the iron cage cell next to him, "Stay good, don't always think about getting out." ”
The prisoner spat on the ground and turned to sit on the ground.
Yin Hang sat in a corner by himself and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
The rest of the people were chatting, Sheriff Simon and Jacob were chatting about some of the latest cases, and Old Donovan was also learning from Yin Hang, sitting on a chair, his eyes half-open and half-closed. The rest of the men talked to their acquaintances.
When Yin Hang and the others arrived here, it was already past eleven o'clock. So at this time, I had been resting in the police station for more than half an hour, and it was almost noon.
"I'm going to go with him to San Francisco in a few days......" Just as Sheriff Simon and Jacob said this, a man from the Bronco Town Police Department ran in quickly and said urgently, "Here they are." ”
Everyone looked out the window at the same time. Yin Hang and Old Donovan also opened their eyes.
"I'll go first." Yin Hang said: "You guys are waiting for me here." ”
"I think we'd better go outside and have a look." Donovan Sr. said.
"Yes, I want to see what you look like when you shoot it." Simon said.
Yin Hang pressed the cowboy hat and said, "Okay, whatever you want." With that, he turned around and walked out of the police station first.
Since the police station is at the end of the road into the town, as soon as Yin Hang leaves the door, he can see the situation outside the town; I saw twelve horsemen lined up at the wide entrance of the town.
"Huhula!" ……
As soon as the townspeople saw that the duel was about to begin, they ran into the buildings on both sides of the road. In an instant, Bronco Town went from being noisy just now to being dead now. I couldn't hear the slightest human voice anymore. Only a breeze stirred a circle of grass clippings rolling on the ground, causing a rustling sound, which kept ringing.
"You're waiting here." Soros looked at the other side of the avenue and said to the rest. Everyone looked at him silently.
Soros, rolled over and dismounted. Unbutton the front of your brown jacket and pull it back so that it doesn't interfere with your shooting line for a while. Then he walked forward slowly, and quietly drew the gun twice with his hands, looking for a feeling.
Yin Hang also slowly walked forward along the road step by step, dressed in black, which made him look very neat, and also brought two mysteries.
The town was still quiet, and although the two men walked around slowly on their own, there were still moments of closeness.
Thirty steps away, Yin Hang stopped directly, and when Soros saw that the other party was like this, he immediately stopped, not daring to be a little negligent.
"Rustle." The breeze in the distance rustled the grass clippings, but it had no effect on the two men in the duel.
Yin Hang looked the other party up and down and confirmed, "Soros? ”
Soros nodded and said, "Eastwood?." ”
Yin Hang bowed slightly, and then said, "Are you ready?" ”
Seeing that Soros still nodded, the two sides began to approach again.
At this time, the two groups of people in the town and at the entrance of the town stared at the two people in the middle of the long street without blinking, and when they saw the two people approaching again, they all held their breath. Many people even feel that their lips are a little dry at this moment.
Twenty steps, Yin Hang stopped again, and Soros had no choice but to passively stop.
The book explains that at this time, the duel between the western cowboys is generally between ten and fifteen paces. If you want to talk before, both sides will stop about twenty steps before the duel.
But just now, Yin Hang stopped talking at thirty paces, and now he stopped again at twenty paces, which suddenly caught Soros a little off guard, and said in his heart: "Does this kid still have something to say?" ”
As soon as this idea popped up in his heart, he saw that after Yin Hang stopped, his legs were staggered back and forth, right front and left back. His feet were slightly apart, his body squatted slightly, and his right hand was already hanging down to the side of the holster on the side of his leg.
"! This kid is actually at a distance of twenty paces, and he has already begun to prepare?? ”
Soros didn't dare to slack off, and when he saw Yin Hang directly put on a duel posture, he hurriedly threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart and stood in a half-squatting posture. His hand hung down next to his holster.
At a distance of twenty paces, both sides stared at each other......
At the entrance of the town, a mustache frowned, as if talking to himself, and said: "The other party is sure to shoot at a distance of twenty steps?" But just as his voice fell. I haven't waited for anyone to answer yet.
Just look at Yin Hang in the middle of the avenue, his eyes shrank into a pin-like shape, and his right hand hanging on the side of his leg shook like lightning, in such a quiet town, the Colt revolver made a "pop" sound, but like a muffled thunder, it exploded directly into the ears of everyone who were watching the duel with bated breath.
Soros's skull was swept away with the gunshot, but before his gray brains could spray out. The revolver strapped to the right leg was also knocked away; Almost at the same time, a bloody arrow was marked on his left chest.
"Wow!" Red and white brains were scattered on the ground. Soros's body stood for four or five seconds before he made a straight "pop" and fell on his back.
Yin Hang was very high-profile for the first time, and he turned the revolver around his fingertips a few times, played with a gun, and replaced the bullets with a full load by the way. The holster was reinserted. Then he narrowed his eyes again, staring straight in the direction of the town.
As she told Mona, he wouldn't give the other party any chance. Soros just put on a duel posture, Yin Hang fired three shots directly like lightning, the first shot killed the other party, the second shot directly flew the opponent's revolver in order to prevent accidents, and the third shot was the back heart, this is Yin Hang's three insurance!
The eleven horsemen at the entrance of the town, seeing this situation, all looked at Soros who fell to the ground, and they couldn't believe that their leader didn't even have a chance to draw a gun.
After a while, seeing that the man in black in the middle of the avenue was still looking at himself and the others, the gang of bandits glanced at each other, turned their horses' heads at the same time, and were about to leave,......
"Wait, I haven't let you go yet." Yin Hang said loudly.
"Woo...... Sigh!!! ”…… The eleven bandits grabbed their mounts in unison and looked at Yin Hang vigilantly.
"Are you going to deal with me again?" Yin Hang asked as he took a few steps forward.
After waiting for a while, but not seeing the other party answer, Yin Hang continued: "I have no hatred with you, it's just that you have listened to the rumors. Now that your leader is dead, are you going to rob the house? Doing some business without capital? ”
Bazihu looked at the people next to him, frowned, and said, "What are we going to do, Your Excellency doesn't seem to care!" ”
Yin Hang said: "I don't want to care about you, I just have a suggestion." Speaking of this, he looked at the other party's reaction and continued: "I was looking for a group of good people to help me escort the goods." ”
Morston, who was next to him, nodded and said, "What does that mean?" Do you want to hire us? ”
Yin Hang said: "Objectively speaking, we don't have any hatred ourselves, right? Even this time, Soros and I are also fighting head-to-head! ”
Kindness!! Several of them on the other side nodded secretly when they heard this, and Morston said, "Yes, what do you want us to do?" ”
"I plan to open a large ranch in the future, and I need good hands to escort a large number of livestock." Yin Hang Dao.
"Cattle?" One of the mustaches in the crowd repeated it and said coldly: "How much can you pay?" ”
"It's not as good as the money you robbed a bank." Yin Hang squinted at him and said, "But in the long run, the money you earn is more cost-effective than you robbing a bank, and the risk is small." ”
Morston was about to speak, but was interrupted by a figure-hug: "Hehe! I haven't seen anyone like you yet, and we're not used to being managed! But I can guarantee one thing, now that Soros is dead, as you said, it is a head-on duel, and we will not trouble you because of this, and we can guarantee to leave this place, but it is impossible to accept your employment. Speaking of which, he waved his hand and said, "Okay guys, let's go." ”
In fact, Yin Hang didn't really want to hire them, he said this completely to trick the other party, because they were bandits before after all, how could Yin Hang hire them so confidently. Now I see that the other party is revealing that he is going somewhere else. Although it may not be all true, it can also be believed.
Yin Hang nodded and didn't speak again, and when the gang was leaving, only Morston glanced back, and then they all beat their horses away.
Sheriff Simon and the others had already begun to come over the moment Soros fell. Now that he saw that the gang of bandits had run away, he was also relieved, especially little Kyle, who immediately cheered, "Haha! I knew Mr. Eastwood was going to win. It's just that I forgot to buy the coffin. Ha! ”
Old Donovan and Simon walked up to Yin Hang and patted him on the shoulder.
"I knew you could win, but I didn't expect you to be so fast." Simon said with an eyebrow raised.
"Huh! Now it's time to go buy Mona's scarf. Old Donovan said with a smile.
Yin Hang also smiled: "Mona likes white scarves. With that, he threw Simon a cigar.
At this moment, in a building in front of him, someone probed his brain to look at the situation outside, and then walked out. After a while, in the buildings on both sides of the street, there were people sneakily sticking their heads out, looking at the situation outside, and after finding that it was okay, they walked out.
In less than half a minute, Bronco Town was back to its usual state.
Sheriff Jacob had already told the men to take the dead body away.
"Let's go, Jacob, come to Locke Town when you have time, and I'll treat you to a drink." Simon said.
"I've wanted to go to Locke Town for a long time, and I've heard that your barbecue there is very good, and I've always wanted to try it, but I've never been available." Jacob said.
"If Mr. Sheriff comes, the barbecue will be mine." Yin Hang said on the side.
"Yes!" Jacob said, "That's great. I'll take it with me. As he spoke, he pointed to his mouth.
Before everyone returned to Rock Town, Yin Hang also specially asked Sheriff Jacob, and under his guidance, he went to the local tailor shop and bought a white scarf for Mona.
There was nothing to say all the way, and everyone hurried up, and Rock Town was not far from here, so it didn't take long to return to Yin Hang's ranch.
When I arrived, I saw little Mona sitting on a stool at the door of the apartment, looking at this side, and fiddling with a horsewhip in her hand. (The whip of the whip, not the stuff of the horse!) At this time, when he saw Yin Hang and the others coming back, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "Just like you said......
Yin Hang turned over and dismounted, and said, "I won't give him a chance." With that, he took out a white scarf from his bosom and handed it over.
"Thank you for not forgetting to buy it." Mona reached out and took it.
"Okay everyone, let's all go into the house, and I'll treat you to a good meal." Yin Hang waved his hand at the people behind him and said.
