Chapter 62: The Widow's Town (2)
"Those who are accustomed to being lambs seem to be inseparable from whips and sheepdogs!"
Jacob looked at these foolish women below and suddenly became interested, and his fingers touched Remington's warm walnut hilt and muttered, "Wen Yan is in his mouth, and the big stick is in his hand." Looks like Teddy knows the Americans!"
A stick in one hand, a carrot in the other.
This is a common trick used by the Americans, not only externally, but also with great skill internally. But Jacob looked at these people now, and he didn't even bother to give them a smile.
"Quiet!"
Jacob's cold words were like the cold wind of the Arctic, whistling, cold and biting, directly freezing all the sounds.
"I am with God......
Jacob had no faith.
If there was anything to believe, it was Jacob who believed in himself.
Believe in yourself, rely on yourself, courage and confidence are born from within, and do not fake clay puppets and wood carvings these empty things.
There has never been a savior, nor does it rely on the immortal emperor, and his own destiny is in his own hands. Even if the God Savior Immortal Emperor exists, then Jacob will tear them off the altar and become a Buddha himself.
So for Jacob, it's not God with me, it's me with God!
But the people at the bottom of the cave couldn't hear the deep meaning of Jacob's words. They whispered, "God bless!"
"When you go out for a while, you have to retreat in an orderly manner. The woman and the child appeared, then the old man, and finally the young man...... Remember, be calm, don't panic, don't push, pull, and crowd, if someone breaks my rules......"
"Click-"
The crisp mechanical sound of the hammer was clear in the silence of the cave.
The cold and murderous aura swept through the cave like a cold wind, making the Bronques at the bottom of the cave stand on end, their hearts chuckled, and their heartbeats skipped a beat.
“......”
None of the Bronques at the bottom of the cave spoke, only looked at each other with pale faces.
"Don't say I'm unpredictable!"
With a swipe, Jacob thrust Remington back into his holster and turned to the improvised lift on the edge of the cliff.
"Jack, this thing needs to be pulled by a mule and a horse......"
The simple lifting device on the edge of the cliff is actually a hanging basket, which relies on manpower and animal power to lift personnel and goods and ores through pulleys. Usually, when the mine is opened, it is relied on mules and horses to pull the hanging baskets. Now there are no mules and horses in the cave, so if you want to use the gondola, you either have to find the mules and horses, or you can use human power to pull the gondola up and down.
Jacob doesn't treat these people like cows and horses, and he doesn't have the self-cultivation to spit on himself after being scolded.
"Hmm...... Sophie, wait a minute. Someone will come in with a war horse......"
Consciously, he contacted Donald and asked him to instruct the black man Jamie to lead the war horse into the cave. Donald remained at the entrance of the cave, continuing to monitor the starstone in case of an emergency.
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the tunnel, and in a few moments the black man Jamie led two horses through the tunnel to Jacob.
"Mr. Fry...... Thank you, Mr. Fry, for saving me!"
Jamie knelt down in front of Jacob with a puff, respectfully staring at Jacob's toes, not daring to look directly at Jacob, and sincerely thanked Jacob.
The man in front of him is not only a powerful gunslinger, but also able to subdue his demonic master, Donald, and save his life.
Ever since Jamie disobeyed Donald's orders and released Sophie without permission, Jamie has been terrified, and although he doesn't regret letting Sophie go, he can't help but have the scene of Donald abusing him in his mind. Jamie knew that if Donald knew what he was doing, his fate would never be as simple as being whipped and abused. All that awaits him is death, and it will be extremely miserable and painful.
When Jamie saw Donald appear in front of him, Jamie felt like the end of the world and despaired. But just when he was desperate, Jacob rescued him from the abyss of despair with a gentle word.
"Get up, Jamie, you're doing a good job......"
Jacob frowned and looked at Jamie who was kneeling on the ground, sideways to avoid Jamie's bowing, and said in a cold voice: "Get up! No one is born a slave! Only a soft-skinned person will bow down to others, and only a soft-skinned person will become a slave! If you don't want to be a slave for the rest of your life, then you should stand up! From now on, don't kneel down to anyone! Even if that person is God!"
Jamie was stunned, he looked at Jacob in confusion and said, "But Mr. Fry, I have been a slave since birth!"
Jacob was speechless, so he could only pull him up, pat him on the shoulder, and said, "Jamie, since you disobeyed Donald's order and released Sophie, you are no longer a slave!
"Ah......h
Jamie was stunned by the news Jacob had said. He jerked his head up at Jacob and said in a trembling voice, "Free man...... I...... I can be a ...... Free man?!"
"Yes, you're free!"
"Free man?!"
"Free man!"
Jamie jumped up from the ground and yelled, "I'm a free man!"
"Relax, relax, now you have to listen to me and help me get things done here. When you're free, I'll hire you to work for me......"
"Mr. Fry, I'm going to work hard!"
The light in Jamie's eyes, the light of freedom, shining brighter than the stars in the night sky, and the spirit that emanated from his whole body seemed to burn.
Jacob pointed to the lifting basket on the edge of the cliff and said, "Will you use this kind of hanging basket?"
"Yes!"
Jamie replied simply.
"I've been in the mines for a while and know a lot about this kind of machine. ”
Jacob laughed and said, "That's good! you use the hanging basket to hang the man at the bottom of the cave......"
"Smack-"
Henry M1860 was photographed by Jacob in Jamie's arms.
The cold metal lever gun seemed to become hot in an instant, making Jamie's hands tremble all of a sudden, and he couldn't grasp the lever gun. He asked tremblingly, "Mr. Fry, is this ...... This lever gun ......"
"Hold it! See no one down there?"
Jacob asked softly as he pointed to the Bronk at the bottom of the cave, smiling a little wickedly.
"See!"
Jamie touched the ornate carved body of the lever gun and was reluctant to let go.
"Will it work?"
"No...... Will ......"
"No, it's okay! It's very simple! See if this gauntlet is not? Just gently pull the gauntlet, you can load the bullet, and then aim it at the target and pull the trigger. Bang - it's all settled! Remember! As long as someone riots and grabs the hanging basket, you shoot! Remember, shoot at the sky first, and then if they still don't obey, then whoever makes trouble, you shoot!"
