Chapter 63: Widow's Town (3)
β...... Shoot?!"
Jamie's swarthy face turned pale in an instant, the lever gun in his hand was hot, he slammed his pestle on the ground, his eyes flickered at Jacob, and then at the dense human heads at the bottom of the cave, his tongue froze, "Murder?!" Mr. Fry......
This is murder!
Breaking the law!
And it's still white down there!
O white man!
For a black slave like Jamie, it's a class to look up to!
"No! no! no! It's ...... Save people!"
Jacob smiled very elegantly and waved his hand to interrupt Jamie's doubts, "Killing people is also to save people!"
"Murder...... Save people?!"
How can murder save people?!
Jamie was confused.
His mere thoughts could not comprehend the meaning of Jacob's words.
"And killing is just a ...... Well, threatened! As long as they listen to me and obey my rules, then they are absolutely safe! Besides, if there is a crowd riot and a stampede, then more people will die! I am also completely for their good...... Jamie, besides, if the situation is critical, killing a few people can save hundreds of lives, do you think these people should be killed?"
"Killing a few people can save hundreds of lives...... Damn it!"
This kind of simple math problem didn't seem to be difficult for Jamie, and he didn't want to blurt it out.
"Gooddog, go do what I say!"
Jacob patted Jamie the shoulder and encouraged him to operate the basket and start hoisting the Bronk up.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Jacob grinned playfully as he pressed the handle of his gun.
This argument of sacrificing the lives of a few for the lives of the majority is widely recognized by Westerners and Americans, and even after more than 100 years, they still think so, and they still do it.
Kill one person and you are a sinner, and kill a group of people and you are a hero. Heroes are so admired in the West! Although they will whitewash heroes with great words such as justice, in fact they are so hypocritical and realistic.
The horses neighed, the pulleys creaked, and Jamie steered the basket down.
Jacob glanced at Jamie and saw that although he was manipulating the basket, the lever gun was not far away, it was right on his lap, and he could reach for it. It seems that Jamie has memorized Jacob's words.
"Sophie, let's go, let's go to the cave and wait for them to come out!"
Dim kerosene lamps illuminate the tunnel, shining on Jacob and Sophie, the light stretching and shortening their shadows. Jacob took Sophie's hand and strolled forward, the rhythm of their footsteps had long converged, and only one of their footsteps coincided.
"What's the matter with that Indian girl?"
How could an Indian who was exterminated by whites and hated whites so much be so kind to save whites?
You must know that the scalp of the Indians is very valuable, and the federal government has offered a reward of $100 for an Indian scalp! How many gunmen have hunted down Indians and cut their scalps for reward.
How dare she be so generous and unscrupulous in front of white people?
And it's in front of Jacob.
Had she forgotten what had happened the night before and yesterday morning?
"Star Stone?!"
Sophie's footsteps paused, her hands instantly wrapped her arms around Jacob's arms, stared at Jacob nervously and said, "Jack, you don't want to ...... Kill the Starstone, right?!She just saved me and shot Anthony Wade off the horse...... Although there was some misunderstanding before, it ...... You're not going to kill her, are you?"
Simple silly girl!
Jacob stroked Sophie's hair, the corners of her mouth curled.
Sophie would have believed the Indian girl, but how could Eve let her go?
In Eve's eyes, this Indian girl should be a jingling purse full of gold coins!
Two warm, soft and elastic hemispheres surrounded Jacob's hand, and the beautiful touch of rubbing against each other made Jacob a little excited, and then stared at by Sophie's deep and clear eyes like autumn water, Jacob had no thoughts, and his mind was full of thoughts.
"Uh...... As long as she doesn't mess with me, I won't trouble her. I'm not a murderer!"
"That's good!Jack, I heard from Starstone that she felt the aura of the holy relics in their tribe, and it was in Bronke! she said that as long as she found the holy relics of the tribe, she would leave here......"
"What relic? Indian relic? Bronc how could there be an Indian relic? She came for this relic......
How could a town like Bronk have any Indian relics?
If there was a holy relic, it was brought to Bronk by outsiders.
And the only thing out of the ordinary here is Anthony Wade's Crystal Skull Claw!
The holy object that Xingshi is talking about can't be the crystal skull claw!
"Oops!"
Thinking of this, Jacob secretly screamed badly.
Anthony Wade's body was still outside the cave, and it was also the time when there were only Eve and Donald at the time of the fewest mention. If Starstone wants to rob Anthony Wade's body, now is the best chance.
"Hurry, hurry, let's get out of here!"
Jacob grabbed Sophie's arm and ran out of the cave. As he ran, he whispered to himself, "I hope I'm wrong! That's my loot! I still have corpse poison that hasn't been extracted yet!"
"Ahh......h Why should we ......?"
Sophie was dragged almost off the ground by Jacob, and ran down the tunnel towards the outside of the cave. It's just that she is stunned now, and she can't understand why Jacob is so anxious as soon as she hears what she says.
"Bang ......"
"Damn Redskin, I shouldn't have believed you!Fake, I'm going to rip your scalp off......"
"Bang ......"
But before Sophie could finish speaking, a series of deafening gunshots were heard outside the cave, as well as Eve's angry shouts.
There's a shootout outside the cave!
"Sophie, you wait here, don't come out!"
Jacob didn't have time to think, let go of Sophie's arm, put down such a sentence, and then ran towards the hole like an arrow off the string. Remington, who had been stuck in the holster, didn't know when it appeared in Jacob's hand, and the hammer had been broken.
"Donald, you protect Eve for me...... Hmmm?!Donald!"
There was nothing in consciousness, only a squeaky noise, like a radio with no signal.
"Dingβ"
"Donald the Contractor suffered a severe brain blow and fell into a coma again, unable to wake up ...... for the time being"
"Fake! Didn't I let you spy on this Indian? Why are you still making people dizzy!"
Hasten!
Hasten!
Jacob's armpits were windy, and his ears were filled with the whistling of his body breaking through the air. His speed has exceeded his limits. But Jacob knew that it wasn't enough, Eve could be injured at any time, or even die at the hands of Starstone.
Jacob knew that Eve was no match for Starstone.
Judging from the previous encounters, the speed of the star stone is extremely fast, with a speed of more than twenty meters per second, which has reached his limit speed in his previous life. At such a speed, Eve would never be able to hit the Star Stone. Starstone, on the other hand, can calmly attack Eve, whether it is shot with a bow or other weapons.
Under this absolute speed, Eve would never be able to defend herself against the attack of the Star Stone. It's only a matter of time before you die from injury!
"Ah...... Stop! Lay down the corpse! I ...... That's mine!"
Listening to Eve's angry scolding, Jacob who was running breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in his heart that he could scold people so happily, it seemed that Eve was not injured, and Xingshi didn't seem to want to kill Eve. However, Anthony Wade's body seems to have fallen into the hands of Starstone.
"Whew-"
Jacob let out a long roar, and his body burst out of the cave like a cannonball, and landed on the platform with a thud......
