Oak Village, like many small mountain villages in the western United States, is unbeaten.

The village gets its name from a large oak tree at the entrance of the village, and the village has a much longer history than Pitkin County, which just started this year to the north, and the oak tree has a much longer history than the village.

Most of the villagers in Oak Village have moved here from the previous generation. When they arrived, most of them were too hungry to become human, and they survived on the fruit of the oak tree, and the oak grove behind the big oak tree also provided them with materials for building houses and furniture.

So later, there were people, cattle and sheep here.

They are grateful and hope that generation after generation will live here in peace.

However, recently, in the mountains near the village, there are often some gunshots.

The villagers don't care, and there are often hunters hunting in this mountain, and it is said that there is a hunter who built a hut to rest not far from the village.

There may now be a new owner there.

Most of the villagers had never seen the outsiders, but from time to time they would send an old man with a wrinkled face and two horses to exchange some supplies.

They never disturb the new guests in the mountains, and they are quiet with each other.

But today, Uncle Malik, who had been elected by the villagers, stood at the door of the hunter's cabin as a representative.

The reason for being chosen as a representative is simple, only he knows the location of that cabin.

And the reason for standing at the door of the cabin is simple.

Oak Village is in trouble.

……

"Bang, bang, bang"

Chen Jianqiu tried to pull out the revolver from his waist in an instant, his fingers pulled the trigger and did not move, and his other hand kept dialing the hammer.

His gun was lost to Chen Lanbin, so he "requisitioned" Sean's.

But every time you try, you can only ensure that the bullets of the first three shots have a relatively reliable trajectory, and the remaining shots either break the rhythm of action, or the bullets don't know where to fly.

"Well, barely enough to scare some farmers."

Adam, who was leaning against the tree, was unexpectedly awake today, he tilted his neck and took a sip of wine, and said in a strange manner.

Chen Jianqiu sat on the ground with his buttocks, and the revolver was also thrown at his feet.

Adam left the tree against which his back was resting, walked over, bent down to pick up the gun that had fallen to the ground, and held it in his hand.

"Let's go, go back to the house." Adam said.

The two men returned to the hunter's cabin.

The birds went out to hunt some game, Sean went to check on the few guards they had set up nearby, and Uncle Holmes had been studying the treasure map since he came here, except that he had been sent out to the village to exchange supplies.

Adam sat down against the table, he put the revolver in his hand on the table, and then began to skillfully disassemble it.

Barrels, nests, hammers......

Adam's disassembly was quick and methodical. After dismantling, he pulled out a bottle from his arms.

"Gun oil, their 'wine'." Adam pointed to the disassembled revolver on the table, then somehow found a cloth and began to wipe the parts.

After maintenance, Adam reassembled the revolver with ease, took out a bullet, and stuffed it into the nest.

He pressed his ear to the gun, flicked the bullet nest with his hand, and listened carefully to the movement inside, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Subsequently, he handed the revolver back to Chen Jianqiu's hand.

"You should treat her as if she were your lover, and pamper and caress her." Adam's eyes were a little misty.

Chen Jianqiu's maternal fetus is solo, and for the time being, he can't understand the man in front of him who has a soft spot for widows.

Still, he took the bullet out and stuffed it into his holster.

Suddenly, there was two knocks on the door of the cabin.

The three men in the room glanced at each other.

The door rang twice, this time with some hesitation.

Uncle Holmes stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

A man dressed as a farmer with a white beard stood in the doorway.

"Uh, hello, I'm a villager in Oak Village outside, and my name is Malik." The farmer said cautiously.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Uncle Holmes blocked the doorway, not wanting to let him in.

"We're in a little trouble."

"Huh?"

"The animals in our village have been attacked by wolves recently, and so far, four sheep have died."

"Don't you have guns yourself? It shouldn't be difficult to deal with these brutes. Chen Jianqiu, who was behind Holmes, was a little unimpressed, he didn't have the idea of solving problems for these people.

"In normal times, it was only when the snow covered the mountains and there was a great shortage of food in the mountains that these wolves would come out of the mountains and attack the villages. And after the attack, they will quickly return to the mountains. ”

"This time, for some reason, during this time, they began to attack the village frequently, and it seemed that the sheep in the village were the only prey."

"We're tired of running for a long time, and if we continue like this, I'm afraid they're going to start eating people."

Uncle Malik's voice began to tremble a little.

"I know you're professional hunters, so help us out, we'll do our best to pay you,"

Hearing the honorarium, Chen Jianqiu was a little interested, but when he thought that this small village should not be able to make up much money, he was a little interested.

However, something suddenly occurred to him.

"You go back first, and when our companions come back, we'll be in the village."

When Malik heard that Chen Jianqiu agreed, he was immediately overjoyed, and walked out of the wooden house shouting "Hallelujah".

Towards the end of the evening, Asuka and Sean returned.

Chen Jianqiu told Asuka about it, and Asuka frowned:

"It's impossible, wolves won't attack human villages unless they're hungry or threatened, but it's not winter."

"No matter, clean up, Sean, you and Uncle Holmes stay here, and the three of us go down and have a look." Chen Jianqiu made a decision.

When the three of them came to the village on horseback, it was sunset.

The sheep had returned to the pen, and the men of the village had guns and lay in ambush behind the houses near the sheepfold.

Chen Jianqiu saw Malik from a distance who had come to ask for their help before, and he was scolding a child at this time.

"Go home, wait for those brutes to come." Malik waved his hand and chased the little boy away.

The boy reluctantly walked back, but instead of going back into the house as his father had instructed, he found a corner and hid, his eyes shining with a sly light.

"Is there any gunpowder in the village?" Asuka asked.

Malik nodded.

A group of men, under the command of Asuka, pushed a barrel of gunpowder out and scattered a line along the front of the sheepfold.

"When the wolves come, light this line of fire." After the bird finished giving the order, he went out of the village with Chen Jianqiu, diagonally facing the direction of the sheepfold, and found a place to hide.

After a while, a pair of green eyes appeared in the woods at the edge of the village.

Wolf, here it is.
