Chapter XXVII

"Phew—let's go!"

Jacob rode his horse and turned his head to look at the jungle in the distance, his eyes were deep, and he said with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "Interesting!"

Although there was nothing to do all night last night, there were always footsteps lingering in the distance, and when Jacob looked over, the footsteps suddenly disappeared quickly. But after a while, the footsteps will appear in the other direction. Like a hunting beast, it falls on its prey, looking for the flaws of its prey, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

It's just that this Pomo doesn't know how to hide her footsteps, let alone her murderous gaze. Jacob heard the squeak of the bowstring tightening countless times throughout the night, and felt the slight tingling sensation in his throat, heart, and head countless times. I just don't know why Jacob didn't wait for the arrow to come in the end......

It wasn't until the sky was slightly brighter that this murderous gaze finally disappeared.

With the neighing of horses and the clattering of wheels, Jacob and Sophie and Eve left the camp and stepped onto the road in the brilliant morning glow.

"Whew-"

Suddenly, a wild, primitive whistling sound came from afar. The mountains echoed, stirring up the whistling over and over again, and then startled the countless birds in the jungle, and in the depths of the mountains in the distance, there was a rough and ferocious roar of a violent bear and a terrible wolf howl......

"Huh?!"

Jacob pulled out the Henry M1860 in the saddle and instantly loaded the bullet in the direction from which the whistling sound came.

"Look, Jack, there's an Indian there!"

Eve screamed and pointed to a hillside not far away, where an Indian maiden wearing a crest of eagle feathers and a crest of eagle feathers in colorful tassels was whistling with her hands folded into a trumpet. The breeze blew, stirring her long hair and crest, revealing her wild beauty.

"Whew, white-skinned ghost...... I'll let ...... You...... Pay...... The cost ......"

After shouting awkward and unskilled English, she drew an arrow from her back, and the longbow was like a full moon, and it was a furious shot at Jacob.

"Hum—"

Jacob quickly grabbed the flying feather arrow in his hand, and the feather arrow trembled and buzzed, like a violently beating fish, trying to break out of Jacob's palm. Jacob shook the feather arrow, grabbed the feather arrow, and said with a smile: "Hey!

The distance between the Indian girl and him was almost more than a hundred meters. At such a distance, she can shoot such a lethal feather arrow, which shows that this Indian girl must use a heavy bow, and it can be seen that this Indian girl's strength is also very large!

"Bang-"

Eve raised her hand and shot at the Indian girl, but the effective range of the revolver was only about fifty meters. This shot failed to hit the Indian girl, and even if it did, it would not have any lethality.

But the effect is still there.

"Damn white-skinned ghost, I remember you!"

Hearing the gunshots, the Indian girl turned and galloped, disappearing into the mountains and jungles in the blink of an eye. Before leaving, her murderous eyes pierced Jacob's eyes, as if she would not give up.

"Damn bastard!"

Seeing the hundred dollars disappear from under her nose, Eve Zhan sat on the caravan and glared at Jacob with her hands on her hips, "You lied to me! I said I heard a woman's voice, and you lied to me that it was a beast, and you said I was dreaming? Hmph, you liar!"

"Drive!"

Eve waved the reins in her hand, beat the horse to a neighing roar, and pulled the caravan away with her hooves, leaving only a cloud of dust flying.

"Huh?!"

Sophie's face was full of doubts, and the Indian girl only had a short moment from appearing to disappearing. Sophie didn't react until Eve disappeared.

"Just now...... Well...... The Indian girl who appeared just now is probably the one who stole your clothes that night, leaving cooked meat and eagle feathers. She showed up at our camp last night, was shot and wounded by me, and wandered around our camp all night......"

"I didn't give her any more chances to sneak up on ......, though."

"Indians?!"

Sophie's face turned pale, her eyes were full of fear, and her arms trembled, as if the weather had become cold in an instant.

In Sophie's impression, or in American propaganda for Indians, Indians are barbaric primitives, beheaded, scalped, killed...... It seems that the Indians, like the ferocious and savage savages of primitive society, made no difference except that they did not eat people.

Thinking of the Indian who appeared beside her in her sleep, silently stealing her clothes, and last night around the camp, Sophie shivered as if she had been splashed with ice water in winter!

"It's okay! With me by your side, no one can hurt you! Trust me!"

Jacob drove to Sophie's side, picked her up from the horse, put her in his arms, and gently patted Sophie on the back to comfort her. The two rode side by side, and they didn't care where Eve was driving the caravan in front of them, but they just kept the reins and drove slowly along the dirt road.

Mountains, hills, jungles, rivers......

As the terrain changes, so does the landscape. But no matter how beautiful and magnificent the scenery was, Jacob didn't have the heart to look at it at all, and all his attention was focused on the lovely man in his arms. Smelling the naturally sweet and fresh aroma of Sophie, Jacob's heart sank. It's only been a day or two, but Jacob is getting more and more fond of the world. I like the bloody law of the jungle in this world, I like the special charm of the intersection of barbarism and civilization in this world, and I also like that there are picturesque and lovely stunners like Sophie in this world......

Of course, it would have been more perfect without Eve babbling in his ear.

Although Jacob had been playing with Sophie's sideburns in the morning, and had not galloped all the way as he had done yesterday, the speed was not very slow, and they were not far from Rose Creek at noon.

Rose Creek is located between Hot Springs and Sacramento, the capital of California, and its population is not much different from that of Hot Springs, but its geographical location is excellent, at the node of the transportation artery, so Rose Creek Town will have a law enforcement officer stationed there. The reason why Rose Creek was named Rose Creek is also aptly named. There is a large rose garden around the town, and when the roses are in bloom, they are full of flowers and flowers, and the intoxicating fragrance of roses fills the air, making people intoxicated.

"Come with me! My family has a rose garden in Rose Creek. We can settle down there and then go to Sheriff Donald to claim the bounty......"

Sophie's family has a rose garden here, and every year she comes to live in the rose garden when the roses are in bloom, admiring the delicate roses while picking roses to make rose essential oils and perfumes. It's the happiest time of the year for her.

And now it's the time of the roses to bloom, and Sophie's mood has changed drastically. She is no longer the carefree girl who chases butterflies and runs. Her heart could hardly tolerate anything other than grief and hatred......
