Iron Hoof Bar.

Gerry was drinking coffee as she looked at the bounty on the wallboard.

'Hunting the 'butcher' Gray is too dangerous, not only is he a transcendent himself, but he also has a gang under him...... No wonder the bounty is so high...... 'Rogue 'Rogue' Zoren is only one person, but unfortunately his whereabouts are uncertain and he has a good reputation among the poor...... I'm not trying to arrest him too much. ’

'The savings in my hand are only one hundred and twenty-seven golden dragons, which is not too far from two hundred golden dragons......

At that moment, a man sat down in front of her.

The other party looked young, his face was calm, and he squeezed out a slight smile: "Hello, ma'am!" ”

Gerry didn't say much, flashed the holster around her waist, and continued to eat breakfast.

The daughter of the West is not a woman who will be knocked down by her appearance roses and sweet words.

"I heard...... You're the best bounty hunter in the area, and I need a bodyguard! ”

Sulu was not embarrassed at all and sat down on his own.

"Employer?"

Gerry's expression became a little formal.

Since it is not the suitor who is coming, but the employer, it is natural to change the attitude: "What are you going to let me do?" Let's start with the ...... I don't do anything that violates the law, no matter how much money I have! ”

She looked Sulu up and down.

Well, the western cowboy is dressed up with guns on both sides, but it's a pity that there is no tough guy temperament of a real desert cowboy at all...... Not the type she likes.

"I would like to go to the nature reserve, and it would be nice to meet the indigenous people of the high ropes who still live there, and I heard that their tribe has preserved some of the original cultural characteristics......"

Sulu said: "Introduce yourself, my name is Sean, a folklorist!" ”

"You want to go to the village of the Aborigines of the High Ropes?"

Sophie looked at Sulu mockingly, leaned back, and put her two long legs on the table without a ladylike image: "Do you want to find death?" Or do you want your head to be their ornament? ”

Well, in federal propaganda, the aborigines of the Causuo are very cruel and barbaric, especially the primitive tribes, and even retain the custom of 'headhunting'.

Basically, after the massacre of William the Conqueror, the surviving Caucasian natives, although subservient to the iron heel of the Federation, must have had a terrible hostility towards outsiders.

"So...... I need a bodyguard, the extra powerful kind, Ms. Gree! ”

Sulu shrugged his shoulders: "For this...... I'm willing to pay fifty golden dragons! ”

"Fifty pieces...... Golden Dragon? ”

Gerry's Adam's apple moved, her long legs tucked in, and she sat down slightly upright.

That's a lot of business!

These, combined with her savings, are already close to two hundred, and with a little frugality, she may be able to buy what she has been dreaming of for a long time on the black market!

"Very good...... I've been impressed by your reward, and to make sure at last, you just need me to protect your tribe of the natives of the high ropes? Gree finally confirmed.

"That's right, I'll take care of the rest!" Sulu nodded.

"Pay half of the deposit upfront, we sign the contract, and the bar owner testifies!" Gerry thought for a moment and agreed.

"No problem......" Sulu showed a hint of a smile: "I'm Sean Otto, I'll leave everything after that to you." ”

……

Although Sulu paid the money with pleasure, the two did not leave immediately.

The reason is simple, he doesn't have horses!

When he first said this, Sulu swore that he could clearly see the look of disdain in Gree's eyes.

"In the Midwest, spirits, horses, and revolvers, are the lives of cowboys!"

Gerry shook her head: "It is said that you are still from Congany?" ”

"I grew up in a foreign ......"

Sulu smiled embarrassedly and followed Gree to a ranch.

"A horse that can be ridden is important, and in many cases, it represents life...... In this regard, I recommend the old horse, although the new horse is strong and strong in short-term sprints, but it is not good at storing horsepower, and it does not know how to know the way, and it is not docile enough to find water in the wild......"

In the stall, Gree stroked the horses' heads affectionately, touching them with her cheek.

"In this regard...... You choose, you're an expert! ”

Sulu did not have the slightest opinion.

He really didn't know the way, and he didn't have as much survival experience as the other party.

And after investigation, this Lady Gree is indeed a decent bounty hunter with a lot of experience, so she moved the idea of hiring.

After a few selections, Gree recommended an old black horse for Sulu.

Of course, it is not enough to say how old you are, just fifteen years old, half of your life.

It had its own name, called Blackjack, and when he left, Sulu also saw the reluctance of the ranch owner.

"Do you know how to ride a horse? Do you want me to teach you? ”

Placing the reins in Sulu's hand, Gerri looked playful.

"No, but I'm a quick learner!"

Sulu took the reins and stroked the horse's head with his right hand.

With a slight burst of inspiration, I came into contact with Blackjack's spirit!

Animism! Even horses are the same.

But its spirit body is obviously much smaller than that of humans, and it is much more muddy.

Just like a newborn chick, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad, and it is very easy to develop a sense of closeness.

"This ......"

Gerry watched Blackjack just sniff Sean, then stepped forward and licked the other party's hand affectionately, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

Even if it's docile, it's not so easy to tame to this extent, is it?

"Perhaps...... Are we born compatible? After all, I also have cowboy blood! Although I left my hometown very early......"

Sulu found a random reason and turned over.

"I hope you don't hold me back...... We still have a lot to do today! ”

Gree then followed, and it was not an easy matter to prepare to go to the tribe of the indigenous people of Causuo.

They need to walk in the wilderness for a long time, and they need to be replenished with a lot of food, water, medicine, tents, etc.

Of course, guns and gunpowder!

While the Confederation had largely conquered the Midwest, it was only around cities and along the railroad lines.

In the endless wilderness, in the wilderness, in the wilderness, there are still a large number of aborigines, who are hostile to any outsider.

And the dangers don't stop there!

Harsh natural environments, ferocious beasts, and even the same Federation cowboys can pose a danger!

Even if you are a bounty hunter, you can't have a good harvest every time, and every time you travel, you are gambling with your life.

Yes, after Su Luhao threw fifty gold dragons, even Geri, who originally disdained him, was moved.

It's rare to see such a lucrative task!

As for the danger? There is danger in any mission!

Bounty hunters who can really live to accumulate enough wealth and retire happily are very few after all!

Many of them have become trophies of horse bandits, or dry bones on the side of the road!
