Chapter 64: God Won't Appear in the West Unless He Plays with Guns
Malik's wife and little Tom were tied up with rope and a piece of cloth in their mouths.
His wife struggled with tears on her face, and little Tom was stunned and stood behind his mother.
Several large, heavily armed men walked out of the room, and in the dim light, Malik couldn't see their faces clearly.
A leader-like man raised his head, with a scar on his chin, and a Mexican look, crossed his waist, pointed at Malik, and said to an old man beside him:
"Uncle, this is the one who knows the traces of those three people."
If Holmes had been there, he would have been impressed by the old man, Hernandez, the "former Mexican American" who had escaped from Fultz in Denver.
"Tell me, where are those people?" The scar-faced man pointed the gun at Malik's wife.
Malik's wife was still struggling, her eyes were resentful, and her mouth seemed to be saying something, but she was blocked by the cloth and only made a "hmm" sound.
Needless to say, she must have been abusing the Mexicans who had tied her up in the most vicious language of her life.
Scarface was a little impatient and kicked the woman from behind, causing the woman to stand unsteadily and fall to the ground.
Malik felt himself tremble all over.
His blood was gushing, and the hand holding the gun clenched, and that hand involuntarily hung down to his waist.
Scarface sensed Malik's actions, and was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing:
"Haha, he wants to duel me! This farmer who doesn't even have a holster wants to duel me! Hahahaha! ”
He seemed to have seen the funniest thing in the world, and the big men around him also burst into laughter.
Scarface managed to restrain his smile, and he turned to face Malik, who was clenching his teeth:
"I'll give you a holster, and you can pull out your gun at any time."
At this time, there are a few more clouds in the night sky, and the moon flickers in the clouds, and the courtyard illuminated by the moonlight also flickers and darkens.
Scarface didn't care about any of this, the farmer in front of him, even if the gun in his hand was pointed at him now, he could knock off the other party's skull first.
Malik's mind was filled with blood, he didn't know how to duel, he never duel, he only knew that he had to save his wife and children.
The moon was gradually sinking into the clouds around her, and the light in the courtyard was slowly dimming.
The farmer raised his gun.
Bless me, O God!
Scarface saw the farmer's movements, his hand quickly touched his waist, the farmer's movements seemed to him in slow motion, his speed was much faster than the farmer's.
The moonlight in the night sky was completely obscured by clouds, and the whole courtyard was in a shadow.
"Bang, bang"
Two gunshots, one in front of the other.
Malik's wife, who had closed her eyes, did not want to see her husband die in front of her.
But she didn't hear the rude ridicule of the imaginary bandits.
The world is eerily quiet.
So she opened her eyes.
At this time, the moon had re-hung above the night sky, and the moonlight was sprinkled in the middle of the courtyard.
His husband, Malik, stood there with a revolver in his hand and smoke from the muzzle of his gun.
And opposite him, Scarface, who was still alive before, already had an extra bullet hole on his head, and blood flowed out of the bullet hole.
Scarface fell on his back, and the revolver in his hand fell to the ground.
Malik's mind went blank.
My God! It was God who heard my prayers! O all-knowing God!
After the gunshots, several villagers who were not afraid of death secretly hid by their windows to watch the situation, they were going to mourn Malik's death, he was a good and helpful person, and they regretted that they could not help him.
However, they found Malik still standing there.
What? This usually honest Malik actually won a duel against the gang leader? Is he the boss who has been hiding himself for decades?
Scarface's men were also stupid, and they realized that their boss, who was famous for his fast guns, had died under the guns of this little-known farmer.
Out of the window.
The Boss was dead, and there was no one to give them orders for the time being, and they were clearly not relieved from the shock, and several of them opened their mouths wide.
The only one in the group who is quite normal is the old man Hernandez.
Scarface was his nephew, and he knew best how fast and receptive he was drawing his gun, and he shouldn't lose to this unassuming farmer anyway.
He rushes to Scarface's side and finds the bullet hole in his head on the right side.
His eyes fall on the revolver that fell from Scarface's hand, and he picks it up and bounces the nest out.
Not a single bullet was missing!
Hernandez suddenly understood something, and shouted in Mexican to the gang members who were still at a loss for what to do:
"Fools, there's someone else here!"
Scarface's men are gone, and Hernandez is now their leader, but they probably still don't understand what the old man means.
Until one of them was hit by a bullet.
Hernandez subconsciously raised his gun and shot at the only target in front of him - Malik, but before he could pull the trigger, he was shot in the arm.
The old man covered his wounds, and fled towards the house without grace and crawling, as an old cannon who had been in the west for many years, it was not for nothing that he could live so long.
The gang members also reacted, and they looked for cover nearby, looking for the source of the attack.
However, they still kept people being hit.
In the woods by the sheepfold, where the wolves had opened their attack before, Chen Jianqiu was concentrating on shooting the bandits below one by one, which was much more powerful than beating Adam's wine bottle.
The shot that just hit Scarface's head was given by him.
He can now basically beat these static "shrinking gophers" without missing a shot, and Adam on the side is a little surprised by Chen Jianqiu's rapid progress.
"Boss, they look like they're going to retreat back into the house again." After shooting a shot, Asuka said to Chen Jianqiu, "Shall we go down and kill them?" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Jianqiu's mouth: "No, this village is full of martial virtues, but it needs a little help." ”
Realizing that he still had a gun in his hand, Malik shot at the gang as he bravely rushed to his wife and Tom, untied the ropes from their feet, and then retreated behind a wooden box.
He untied his wife and Tom from their hands and took out the cloth that was stuffed in his mouth.
"Malik, did you kill all these people?" The wife asked excitedly.
Malik shook his head honestly, for he found that the gang members were falling faster than his ammo was depleting.
But in the eyes of those village names who were secretly watching, the scene was not like this.
Malik was shooting, and the gang members were falling.
They suddenly realize if they have made a mistake, and the brave genes have reoccupied the high ground of their brains.
A peasant picked up his shotgun and rushed out the door screaming, and after him, another rushed out one after another.
Hernandez saw this scene from the window, and secretly said that it was not good, and quickly shouted loudly in Mexican:
"They're coming! Let's get out! ”
He himself climbed out of the window at the back of the house, jumped on his horse, and ran away as soon as he caught the belly of the horse.
The rest of the gang was in disarray, and a few jumped on their horses and chased Hernandez in the direction, while others, shot down by the peasants, were not far from the village.
Malik stood in the courtyard, still a little incredulous of what was happening in front of him, when a voice came from behind him:
"I'm right, God bless this gun."
Chen Jianqiu appeared in front of him with a grin, followed by the men.
He retrieved his Colt from Malik's hand.
He looked into Malik's eyes, and the smile on his face was gone, replaced by a young face that faintly exuded domineering.
He patted the farmer on the shoulder, regardless of whether his words were a desecration of the farmer's faith.
"God won't be in the West unless he also plays with guns."
