In the American West of the 19th century, if you commit a crime in a small town, you can choose to run as fast as you can into the wilderness, into the forest or into the wilderness, and then you have a high probability of being bitten to death by a cougar, poisoned by a rattlesnake, killed by gangsters, starved to death, and of course, you may also die of tuberculosis, tetanus, wound infection.

If you're lucky enough to survive and aren't caught by the bounty hunters, you can choose to cross to another state, so there's a good chance that no state police will chase you again.

But now Chen Jianqiu is not too worried about this problem for the time being, Asuka may know more about the Rocky Mountains than ten of them he and Sean are tied together, not to mention that according to Asuka, he is also the son of a tribal hero, and they at least don't have to worry about being scalped by the Indians.

The priority now is how to find the horse.

"I have a horse, at the inn." Asuka said.

"But there are three of us" Sean's expression was unrecognizable in the night, but it sounded a little sad.

"Let's go check it out." Chen Jianqiu unified his opinion.

The three of them bypassed the main road and walked towards the post station in the dark.

When I came to the inn, I saw a brown Appaloosa horse sitting quietly in the stable, enjoying the forage in the trough.

The stables at the inn were not large, but all but this one was empty.

"Huey!" Asuka jumped into the stable with a little excitement, and he stroked his beloved horse, and put it next to his ear and spoke something in Indian language, as if he were his own lover.

"It's so crooked." Sean muttered, "Chen, what do we do now?" Three people must not crush that horse to death? ”

Asuka greeted the two of them and motioned for them to come over. But Chen Jianqiu didn't respond to him, and his attention fell on a carriage on the edge of the inn.

This is the carriage of the post station, and it must have just arrived. A tall shire horse was with its head down and its hooves scraped.

"Let's use this one." Chen Jianqiu pointed to the Shire horse and said to Sean, "I'll untie the pole, and you go to the stable to look for it and see if there is a saddle." ”

Sean instantly came to his senses.

After Asuka took the horse out, he also came over to help, after Chen Jianqiu untied the sleeve rod, Asuka took the reins, patted the horse's neck, and stroked his mane, the Indians have a natural affinity for animals, and the tall Shire horse has become extremely docile.

"We walked all the way southwest, and soon we saw a river, and then we went south along the Green River into the Uinta Mountains, where my people were." Asuka looked up at the stars in the sky and determined the next direction.

Chen Jianqiu nodded and took the reins

"What about the Seans? How can you go to the stable and get a saddle so slowly? "He's a little weird.

"I didn't see him when I came out." Asuka was also stunned.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the two turned their heads to see that Sean was running in their direction with a saddle, followed by a man dressed as a groom, waving a pitchfork in his hand, and cursing in his mouth:

"Raised by a bitch, stop me!"

"Let's go, let's go." Sean rushed in front of Chen Jianqiu in the blink of an eye and stuffed the saddle into his hand.

"What the hell are you ......" Chen Jianqiu pressed the saddle onto the horse, turned over on the horse, scooped the black man onto the horse, and sat behind him.

The groom came to him with a fork, and when he saw the three people and two horses in full armor in front of him, he was stupid, and after reacting, he threw away the pitchfork and turned around and ran.

Asuka raised the gun in his hand, and Chen Jianqiu waved his hand, motioning for him to put the gun down.

"As soon as the gun goes off, the pursuers will come faster, so let's hurry up and get on the horse and go." Jianqiu turned his horse's head and hoofed in the direction of the outside of the town, with the bird following closely behind.

"Didn't I tell you to go to the stable and find a saddle? How can you still bring out a person? Chen Jianqiu sat on his horse and asked.

"The saddles in the stables are very bad, when I passed by the house of the inn, I happened to see through the window that the groom had a very good pillow, so I went in and took it off, according to the usual, it should not be a big problem, I don't know if the piece of firewood that was replaced today is too awkward, the groom actually woke up."

Chen Jianqiu pulled the reins, and Sharma raised his hooves over a dead tree trunk across the road, and Sean, who was sitting behind the horse, was jerked, and his white teeth almost bit off his pink tongue.

"To use a proverb in our Chinese, your behavior is called 'dogs can't change to eat.'" Chen Jianqiu suddenly had the urge to drop the guy behind him off the horse, but he still held back.

"Asuka, lead the way!" He shouted behind him.

The bird whistled and rode forward.

On the plateau desert under the moonlit night, the two horses galloped one after the other, and the outline of Shiquan Town gradually became smaller in the dark night and disappeared behind them.

"Chen, what do you see behind that?" Sean patted Chen Jianqiu's waist.

Jian Qiu turned his head to see that a little light appeared in the vast dark night in the distance behind him.

"These guys are coming really fast." Asuka said, "This is the road west out of town, so let's avoid it." ”

The three of them changed their course, left the main road, and turned into the desert, where they passed through the bushes and headed for a barren hill not far away.

But no matter how they changed their course, the light behind them still followed.

"Damn, they seem to know where we're going." Sean muttered in the back.

"Maybe he followed the trail, Johnny used to be a cowboy." Asuka said.

The three of them rode to the back of the barren hill.

The winds of the western interior of the United States have eroded the landscape beyond recognition, and two bare stone mounds stand in the moor, and the moonlight shines through the middle of the two stone mounds on the clearing covered with all kinds of strange stones, and the shadows and shrubs are intertwined, which is particularly strange.

Chen Jianqiu dismounted and pulled out his shotgun from his horse.

"Asuka and I will take a look at the terrain, you find a place to hide here, and we'll be back soon." He took the axe from Asuka and quickly ducked into the shadows with Asuka as he stood.

Before Sean could come to his senses, he found that he and two horses were the only ones left in the same place.

"Eh, boss, you ......, eh, go early and come back early."

He looked left and right, and hid at a large rock not far away.

After a long while, there was still no trace of Chen Jianqiu and the bird.

"Damn, they're not going to leave me alone and run away, are they?" Cool sweat broke out on Sean's forehead, "No, the two horses are still here, they shouldn't be able to go far." ”

Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew, making Sean shiver for a while, and after being on the horse for too long just now, a trace of urine was transmitted from the lower abdomen.

He stood up tremblingly, pointed at the stone, and began to release his pressure.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, which frightened him and made him shiver, and he almost peed on his pants.

"Chief, there are two horses there!" A man's voice came, and Sean quickly lifted his pants and squatted behind the stones, not daring to breathe.

"The horses are here, they can't go far." This time it was Johnny's voice, "You guys search around, they might be nearby." Be careful with your weapons. ”

Another gust of wind blew, and suddenly, there was no sound on that side, and the conversation between several people gradually became quieter, and only a few snorts of horses could be heard occasionally.

Sean could hear his own heartbeat. He wondered if the person who was tracking him had gone in the opposite direction, intending to take a sneak peek.

But when he turned his head, a gun was pressed against his head.

"I said why does it smell of urine, so you're here." Under the illumination of the horse lamp, Johnny's expression looked a little hideous, "Killed someone, stole something, and still want to run?" ”

Beads of sweat the size of beans ran down Sean's forehead.
