Ambarino, Wanshan Subao.

Among the mountains, there was a melodious whistle.

Brandi drove the carriage at a constant speed, playing the very classic western movie music in his memory, and after blowing it was not enjoyable, he sang to the tune again:

"He's always on the town's topic list,

He has a restless gun,

Don't shoot to fool him,

Let's go after the other hooligans,

Let's go after the other hooligans......"

Brandi now has a sense of freedom that "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly", which is actually very understandable. For example, when the whole company is working on a very important big project, but the leader suddenly sends you on a business trip, although the business trip is also on official business, but it is much easier than busy with that project, and it is not much different from paid leave.

For Brandi's personal desires, this mission also provided him with convenience, before he suffered from the lack of a suitable map, always walking around this snowy mountain, but he couldn't leave the snowy mountain, and now, with this detailed contour line is extremely clearly marked, along the correct route, he estimates that he will be able to reach the beautiful cattle town - Valentine at noon tomorrow.

"Valentine......" Brandi sighed softly. In this world, perhaps only he himself can understand his special plot for that place.

The black horse neighed and galloped along the sometimes rugged, sometimes gentle mountain road, but no matter what kind of road, the carriage was as smooth as it was. This is due not only to the reliability of the horse, but also to the skill of the driver.

Brandi suddenly noticed a strangely dressed man walking through the snow on the side of the road not far ahead.

The man was dressed in a black suit, a ridiculously high black top hat on his head, and a very delicately maintained beard on his upper lip.

This man is very strange, because the suit on his body has no ability to resist the cold at all, if the average person walks around in the snowy mountains in such a suit, it will become a stiff corpse in less than an hour, and this man has obviously walked in the snowy mountains for a long time, but from his appearance and demeanor, there is no sign of being invaded by the cold.

He also saw Brandy's carriage and stood where he was, as if he knew in advance that Brandy would drive by. Brandi didn't want to linger long, but out of the compassion that had remained in his previous life and seemed overly overflowing in this world, and the curiosity that was extremely rife in all ages of humanity, he finally stopped the carriage in front of this strange man.

"Hey! Pls sir do you need help? Brandi asked.

The strange man was not polite, and when he heard this, he consciously climbed into the carriage and sat in the passenger seat, without the slightest consciousness of being a guest.

"Take me to Minnie Mouse men's store." The strange man was like a taxi.

"Where?" Brandi was a little baffled.

"It's about 10 miles from here, keep going straight ahead, go over the col in front of you, turn left and you'll see." The strange man goes out of his way to show Brandi the way.

Brandi somewhat regretted stopping the car, but since things had developed to this stage, it would be rude to just kick people out of the car.

"Well, I'm here for you, sir." Brandi shook the reins, and the black giant horse neighed, carrying the two towards Minnie Mouse Men's Store.

Brandi glanced at the strange man beside him with some curiosity, for some reason, this person seemed to exude some kind of aura, which made him involuntarily feel awe. But if two people sit in a carriage and don't talk about anything, the atmosphere will be a little awkward. So, even though the man didn't seem to really want to talk, Brandi decided to talk about something.

"What's your last name, sir?" Brandi asked

"A name is something that everyone has, but alas, I forgot it, maybe I didn't have a name at all, but I'm sure I did." The words of the mysterious man have an elusive temperament to them.

"Believe it or not, I know you." The mysterious man continued.

"I don't think we've met, sir." Brandi became more and more baffled.

"You're right, but I do know you," said the mysterious man, "but strangely enough, I don't know your name, so, can you tell me your name?" ”

"Know me, but don't know my name? Is there something serious about this man? Brandi felt like she was falling into a cloud, and her head was full of inexplicable question marks. But out of politeness, he replied, "Manny, Brandi Manny." ”

"Would you like to call it that?" The mysterious man was still chattering, "Interesting last name, interesting name, but I don't think this will be your first name here, will it?" ”

Brandi's smile was slightly awkward: "You're laughing, sir." ”

"Whether it's a joke or not, it's hard to say right now." Said the mysterious man.

The topic seemed to end awkwardly. The atmosphere seemed to be awkward because of the conversation just now.

The rumbling of horse-drawn carriages gradually blended into the hustle and bustle of the wind and snow, informing the people on the road that another storm was coming.

"So, what do you do for a living?" Brandi now just wants to know more about the men around him, without him, because he is too inexplicable and mysterious.

"Making a living?" The mysterious man reacted for a moment, as if trying to make a simple and clear conclusion about his work, and finally, he said, "I'm just a settger." ”

"Then you went to Minnie Mouse Men's Clothing Store for business?"

"So to speak."

"Speaking of which, what is Minnie Mouse Men's Store?"

"After the abandonment of Coulter Village, it became the only grocery store and post house in this snowy mountain, but only those who often cross the snowy mountains to Strawberry Town and Valentine know about it, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it."

"Why such a quirky name?"

"Do you think I know what I do?"

"You seem to know a lot."

"Knowing a lot doesn't mean being omniscient," the mysterious man seemed a little tired of such conversations, "I think you might as well concentrate on driving, it will be dark in another hour, and you don't want to wander around the snowy wilderness at night, right?" ”

Brandi shrugged, and the chat didn't seem to yield much useful information. He now regretted letting the man in the car more and more, and he was a little skeptical that he would have offered to help the man at that time.

The carriage gradually climbed up a mountain col, in the distance, you can see a small wooden house, next to a stable, very tightly closed, from the stable to the wooden house there are a lot of iron drills, the iron drills are connected to the line, obviously, the snowstorm some time ago also affected here, these facilities should be the people who came here early after the horses are laid out step by step.

"I guess that's where you're going, sir?" Brandi asked.

"I think it will be yours too," said the mysterious man, "and now that it's getting late, I think you can rest here for the night." ”

"As long as you don't mind if I disturb you." Brandi maintained a polite attitude.

The carriage stopped in front of the house. Minnie Men's Clothing Store, that's its name. Why did a grocery store and post house have such a quirky name? Brandi couldn't figure it out, maybe only the owner of the shop could explain? The mysterious man might have been able to do the same, but Brandi wasn't in the mood to ask him any questions right now.

"You can put the carriage in that stable, although there are already quite a few horses, you can still fit this little carriage," the mysterious man jumped out of the carriage and said the words of command, but there was no condescension or domineering in his words, "I will go into the house, in a sense, my work has already begun, and I don't want to procrastinate." ”

Brandi actually resents this completely indifferent attitude, because it's actually more hateful than a real domineering. But he knew that this man should be right, and for some reason, he just felt that way.

"Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say." Uttering a not-so-funny quip, Brandi jumped out of the carriage and began to busily settle his horse and carriage.

As the mysterious man said, there were already a number of horses in the stables, all of which were pack horses such as Belgian horses and shire horses, and apparently belonged to one or more carriages. Pack horses are generally very large, but when they meet Brandy's black Shire, they all look like Arabian horses that are one size smaller than the average horse.

With some effort, Brandy set up the carriage and left the stable, the night wind and snow had already caught up with it. But he found that the door to the wooden house opposite was open.

When things go wrong, there must be demons, and Brandy immediately rushes to the cabin as fast as he can.

Standing at the door of the wooden house, Brandi was horrified by the sight that greeted him.
