Chapter Thirty-Eight: Adam Granger's Love Story
Uncle Holmes said goodbye to Chen Jianqiu at the fork in the road:
"I'll go to Denver first, you guys pay attention to safety, and just go to the hotel to find me when the time comes."
Looking at his departing back, Sean spoke.
"Boss, do you think he will call the police directly and arrest us in Denver when the time comes?" His IQ occupies the commanding heights like never before.
"Possibly, let's talk about it then." Chen Jianqiu didn't look worried at all.
Instead of heading to the town, the group bypassed the town and followed the road straight into the wilderness.
Chen Jianqiu didn't think about camping in the wild, but unless he went into the mountains, setting up a bonfire in such a place would be like collaborating with the enemy.
The terrain between the two mountains was very flat and the view was wide, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they saw a farm.
The farm is surrounded by a long wooden fence, with wooden fence stakes every few meters, and by the evening the cattle and sheep have already entered the enclosure, and it looks dense from a distance.
It seems that the owner of this farm is quite wealthy.
The group approached the gate of the farm.
A hired worker at the gate saw them, and of course Shaun and Asuka were wounded on their shoulders, as well as their weapons.
He immediately ran towards the farm, shouting as he ran.
After a while, four or five peasants with guns ran to the farm, and they ran to the fence and waited for them.
Chen Jianqiu motioned for them to take the spear off their backs and put it on their horses. At the same time, he took out Browning's certificate and held it high in his hand.
"We are here to stay, and we have the guarantee and proof of the Browning family." He said loudly.
An older man walked out of the room, he came to the gate, looked at Chen Jianqiu's complexion, and with a suspicious expression, he motioned for Chen Jianqiu to hand over the paper in his hand.
After reading the certificate handed over by Chen Jianqiu, he opened the door, his face softened slightly.
"Come in, since it's Browning's man, it shouldn't be too much of a problem." The old man did not mean any hospitality, he pointed to the guns in the hands of his fellows, "These were bought from Monsieur Browning's gun shop, but I haven't seen their family for a long time since the old Browning died. ”
He brought Chen Jianqiu and the three of them in.
"You may lead the horses into the stables, and I will provide you with some hay; There is no extra place to live, and you can only settle down in the warehouse over there; As for the ...... to eat."
Seeing that the old man wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Jianqiu patted the saddle bag: "You don't have to worry about this, we brought our own dry food." ”
When the old man saw Chen Jianqiu say this, he didn't say anything superfluous, and turned his head and left.
In his opinion, to let people of such a colour come in was already a great deal of face for Mr. Browning, and as for the place to live, it was good that they were not allowed to live with the animals.
After settling their horses, the three of them went to the warehouse that the old man had pointed to.
Chen Jianqiu pushed open the door, and an unpleasant smell greeted him.
"Ahem, ahem." Sean was choking and coughing, and the room was full of dust.
It was a warehouse for farm tools, and the forks of the manure shovel and the carts for the manure were stacked in the corners of the warehouse, and it was clear that the farm workers were not in the habit of cleaning them.
Night soon fell.
At night in the western wilderness, there was no darkness as imagined, Chen Jianqiu did not enter the house, but leaned on the pillar at the door, looking up at the stars in the sky.
It's been almost two months since he crossed into this world, but he still hasn't figured out the origin of this body, and the intermittent dreams and hallucinations still can't be connected.
The compatriots he saw here were as yellow-skinned and black-eyed as himself, but they were all living cautiously in a foreign land, walking on thin ice, facing foreigners, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and not daring to speak loudly.
Perhaps, the difference between himself and theirs is self-confidence, because of self-confidence, he has never been timid, and this self-confidence is the powerful ZG more than a hundred years later, brought to his generation.
If you can really find the treasure, you may really do something, if a hundred years later, the ZH nation will finally stand on top of the world, then now, you should do the little torch in the dark night.
Just as Chen Jianqiu was still thinking, Sean's voice suddenly came from the side:
"Hey, boss, look, who's that!"
Chen Jianqiu looked in the direction that Sean pointed, and not far away, a figure appeared on the edge of the fence near the farmer's house.
The figure was lying on the fence, its body shaky a little.
A smell of alcohol wafted in the wind.
"Boss, it's the drunken 'Grim Reaper'." Asuka whispered.
Chen Jianqiu looked at it through the moonlight, and the unshaven face seemed to be really Adam, what was he doing here on this big night?
Adam, who seemed to be a little troubled by the night wind, changed his figure, leaned against the fence, and whistled softly.
Moonlight, cowboys, grasslands, form a unique composition.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the back door of the farmer's house, bent over and small.
It was a young woman in her thirties, wearing a linen dress, and she gently closed the door of the room, looking left and right for something, looking a little panicked.
When she saw Adam leaning against the fence, the expression on her face was very complicated.
She lifted her skirt, stepped over the moonlight, and ran to Adam in the night.
"Adam, oh my God, you're not dead! How did you end up here! The young woman ran to the fence and subconsciously tried to shake Adam's hand, but withdrew again.
Chen Jianqiu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the dignified "Adam of Death", in addition to alcoholism, would have such a bloody plot to watch.
So he lowered his body and looked more seriously.
The cowboy didn't know if he was drunk or deliberately cool, he lowered his head, his cowboy hat covered his face, and he could only hear his deep voice:
"Elizabeth, listen, my time is running out, I'm dying, I just want to see you again before I die."
"I heard that a man who looks like you appeared in town, but I didn't expect it to be true! Oh my God! ”
"Is little Andy okay?"
"He's all right, not at all like his dead bastard daddy, Adam, I'm really, really sorry, at that time, my dad he ......"
"The past, I really don't need to mention it anymore."
……
No one spoke anymore, and the figure of two months later shared the silence.
Chen Jianqiu guessed from their words that, first, this woman was a widow. second, this woman once had a leg with Adam and was then beaten with a mandarin duck; Third, uh, this third, I just don't know if little Andy was born to his father.
Just as he was pondering the relationship with the mentality of eating melons, the lights on the farm came on, and with a whistle, it was still the four or five hired workers, with guns and torches, who came out of the house, and the old man, carrying a shotgun, walked out of the door of the house.
He pointed his gun at the cowboy by the fence and shouted:
"Adam Granger, you murderer, stay away from my daughter!"
