Chapter 32 Tracking
The tavern is only a few dozen meters away from Browning's gun shop.
However, Sean scolded all the way, and the content was nothing more than the ungrateful man with a scruffy beard or something.
said that he saved a dog and knew that he wagged his tail and thanked him, but the man ran away without letting go of a fart, and he also had a bottle of wine, and the bartender also had a problem with his brain, and he said that he would keep an account.
Chen Jianqiu walked leisurely, deaf to Sean's complaints.
The three of them walked into the gun shop, and the guy was standing at the front desk to greet customers, a fur dealer who was looking at the goods on the shelves.
When the guy saw the three of them, he greeted them warmly.
"The boss is in the back studio."
Chen Jianqiu walked through the room and opened a curtain.
The room looked chaotic, surrounded by wooden shelves stacked with various parts and gun embryos, and by the window was a large, wide workbench. Browning was standing in front of the workbench with a gun in his hand, debugging.
Seeing Chen Jianqiu coming in, he handed over the gun in his hand.
Chen Jianqiu looked at the gun in his hand, the pitch-black barrel, the technical details of the trigger and hammer were all just right, and they were extremely exquisite. The handguard and butt of walnut wood are engraved with a "Chen" in English.
"I changed some details, corrected the rifling, and adjusted the length of the barrel, and the deer hunting bullets used directly, counting the loaded ones, a total of six rounds." Browning said, "Would you like to try it?" ”
He took Chen Jianqiu to the backyard.
In the center of the yard there was a tree with a venison steak hanging from it.
Chen Jianqiu raised his gun and fired three shots at the meat, and for a while, the meat foam flew sideways, and there were soon several big holes on the meat steak until it was incomplete.
Pump-action shotguns, Dwayne Johnson used them and said yes.
"I put the pistol on the front counter with the holster, you find a guy to take it, and you can take as many bullets as you like, take as many as you want."
Chen Jianqiu put the shotgun into the holster, thanked him, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Browning, there is an archaeologist in Denver, have you heard of Lockhart?" ”
Browning recalled, shook his head, but quickly added: "I don't know, but I heard from my fellow yesterday that there was an archaeological researcher in the town two days ago, and you would like to go to the tavern and ask." ”
The tavern was probably the most well-known and fastest place in town, and the bartender of the tavern knew everything and described the man's appearance and whereabouts to the gold lord in front of him.
"He actually lives in the room next to you, and he also went out after he left in the morning, and he also has an entourage, and it is said that a few years ago he once found a cave in the nearby north mountain, and there are murals on the walls of the cave, but he didn't bring a camera with him last time he came, so this time he came to take some pictures."
The guy glanced at his pocket watch.
"At this point, he and his entourage should have just entered the mountain."
Looking at the bartender's expectant eyes, Chen Jianqiu threw another 20 cents on the table, in his opinion, the news was worth the price.
The bartender took the money, overflowing with joy, he lowered his voice and said to Chen Jianqiu mysteriously: "But I don't really recommend you to go to that forest, something is not quite right there in the past few years, someone in the town has gone in and never came out again." It is said that there is a devil inside. ”
"Then why didn't you stop the archaeologist?" Chen Jianqiu frowned.
"He doesn't quite believe that."
The devil or something, Chen Jianqiu is not too afraid, in terms of imagination, this country with a history of only 100 years is far worse than the place where he grew up.
The three of them rode out of the town, and compared to the time when they entered the town yesterday, they were strong and ready to go.
But they soon ran into a problem.
"Boss, this mountain is so big, where are we going to find that person?" Sean looked at the fork in the road in the forest, at a loss.
"Aren't we flying birds?" Chen Jianqiu said with a smile, "We are fast, we should be able to catch up soon." ”
Asuka is a natural hunter, and he is good at judging the direction of progress based on the tracks of animals or people.
He observed the trails on the lower road, then pointed to one of the roads: "This way." ”
After continuing on for a while, the traces on the road disappeared.
The bird dismounted, sniffed, and walked into a forest beside the road.
There was no road in the forest, but the marks of horses' hooves on the ground were revealed, and under a tree they found a pile of fresh horse manure.
"He must have just passed through here." Asuka made a judgment.
The Colorado forest in the summer is much more approachable than it is in the winter, and you don't have to walk slowly through the forest with more than a meter of snow.
In addition to paying attention to the hunter's clamp under their feet, they should pay attention to the direction they are heading.
Soon, they found something special.
Not far from them, in a clearing in the forest, there was a camp.
Chen Jianqiu dismounted and pulled out his shotgun from his horse.
"You wait for me here, I'll go over there and have a look." Chen Jianqiu stuffed a large deer hunting bullet into his gun and approached the camp alone.
It's a tiny campsite with only three dilapidated single-person tents.
Chen Jianqiu slowly approached the camp.
There was no one in the camp, and the bonfire in the middle had been trampled on, Chen Jianqiu used his boots to pull the fire under the pile, and found that the fire had just been extinguished.
Suddenly, he noticed movement in the two tents, and a strong smell of blood.
Chen Jianqiu clenched the gun in his hand.
He slowly approached one of them, ready to open the curtain of the tent with the tip of his gun.
Then he saw an ugly face.
Hearing only a non-human howl, the owner of the face rushed out of the tent, holding a steel knife, and slashed at Chen Jianqiu.
Almost at the same time, a person jumped out of the tent behind Chen Jianqiu, holding a sharp axe in his hand, and rushed towards his back.
"Bang"
The gun in Chen Jianqiu's hand rang out, and the extremely ugly man was so close that almost his entire body was beaten out, and half of his body was blurred with flesh and blood, and he fell to the ground and convulsed.
At the same time, Chen Jianqiu rolled to the left, and the axe of the person behind him split into the air, and the inertia of the axe made him stumble.
Chen Jianqiu got up, kicked the person in front of him to the ground, pulled the handguard loaded bullet back with his left hand, and aimed it at the person.
The world is calm again.
Hearing the sound of gunshots, Sean and Asuka hurried up, and what they saw was already two corpses lying on the ground.
The two corpses did not have a single strand on their upper bodies, and although they were broken, they were vaguely recognizable.
Moreover, both of them look quite bony and surprised.
If some people's ugliness is due to the fact that God cut corners when he created man, then these two people are purely a spoof of God and his old man.
Grotesque.
"The traces of the archaeologist and his entourage are broken here, and all that remains are traces of other unknown figures, disorganized." Asuka said.
"Isn't this unlucky guy dead?" Sean muttered.
"I'm not sure."
It was Chen Jianqiu who answered him, and at this time he had lifted the curtain of one of the tents, and there was a wooden stick stuck in the ground in the tent.
At the very top of the stick, a blood-stained human head was facing him.
