Chapter Eighty-Seven: Return to Montrose
"We had to go south and go straight down the Rocky Mountains into New Mexico. We had gone north instead. Holmes gestured to the map spread out on the table and gestured with his hand.
This map is much clearer than the one he found in Edward's barracks, and Holmes has made some additions and modifications based on his own experience.
"Okay, stop by and head back to Montrose." Chen Jianqiu nodded, he clapped his hands, and instructed everyone, "Trouble Mrs. Romney and Asuka to go and buy some supplies, the others pack their luggage, and we are ready to go." ”
Not long after, as the group to Montrose hit its way, Danny glanced back at the house he had been in for more than a decade.
"Alas, after more than ten years of stability, I still have to wander again." Danny was a little reluctant.
"How do you grind and chirp like a big man?" Teresa, who was driving the carriage, was a little dissatisfied with her husband's sadness.
"You're going to have a new home." Chen Jianqiu bent down and fed a oatmeal to the black radish, "With your son." ”
They had an extra carriage driven by Teresa, loaded with a lot of things, groceries, tents, and even fishing rods. But most of them were the guns they had gotten from the farm, and the treasures they had picked up from the two ruins.
Chen Jianqiu is playing with a golden pocket watch, the workmanship of the pocket watch is extremely exquisite, and the shell is covered with fine hand-carved inscriptions, which at first glance are from the hands of famous artists.
He drove the black turnip to the side of the carriage and glanced at the bottles and jars of either gold or silver in the carriage.
He was going to go to Browning and the Jew for something new.
Montrose was on their way south anyway.
From Pitkin to Montrose, they walked unhurriedly. They walked along the road openly, and on the state government side of Denver, the Mounties' alone was enough for them to keep them busy for a while.
The corn was hovering in mid-air, and as soon as there was any wind and grass nearby, Chen Jianqiu could immediately know.
Hanif, who received the money, was the most reliable, and he and Donnie were hanging around the convoy, and they met a familiar bounty hunter, and it was not necessarily who fooled him.
Speaking of bounty hunters, Chen Jianqiu suddenly remembered the woman in red, but it was really fortunate that he had corn, otherwise he would have to worry about someone sniping his head all the time.
Along the way, Chen Jianqiu couldn't help but sigh that he had finally lived a human life.
Teresa is not only a skilled doctor, but also a very good cook, and she can cook delicious food with any ingredient that Asuka brings her.
The spices she used include, but are not limited to, rosemary, oregano, thyme, and wild onions, and the cooking techniques include roasting, frying, boiling, etc., and she also asked Chen Jianqiu, a half-baked cook, about oriental methods.
Until one day, Chen Jianqiu sat by the campfire, holding a bowl of pheasant soup and "burst into tears".
It's the taste of home!
A little more than a week later, in the evening, the convoy appeared at the entrance to the town of Montrose.
Chen Jianqiu saw the young man sitting on the fence at the entrance of the town in a daze, Browning's buddy, Jerry.
"Hey Jerry, why are you here? Isn't the store busy? Chen Jianqiu drove past Jerry on horseback
"Hey! Old! When Jerry saw Chen Jianqiu, he immediately ran up and said to him mysteriously, "I'm waiting for a batch of goods that are urgently needed in the store." ”
"You're stocking again? The last one was sold out? Chen Jianqiu was a little puzzled.
"Well, I'll take you to the boss first," Jerry digressed, turning back to lead his horse.
The town didn't seem to have changed much from before he left.
It's just that there are not many pedestrians on the road, and they all look in a hurry, and before night falls, most of the houses have been closed, and the residents are hurrying to their homes.
Along the way, no one recognized Chen Jianqiu and them, and they came to the gate of the Browning gun shop.
Browning was working on something in the studio when he heard movement outside the shop and rushed out.
"Something has arrived?" He walked to the door, and when he looked up, he saw Chen Jianqiu and the others who were walking in.
"Aha! My friend, it turned out to be you. Browning raised his eyebrows and immediately gave Chen Jianqiu a big hug.
He doesn't care about the bullshit bounty wanted list, he sells guns, and those who can buy his guns are good friends,
Not long ago, several Chinese had just bought a bunch of guns and ammunition from him with a note, claiming that they were loyal to Chen Jianqiu.
These people buy guns and leave, even if they go to the Federal Army, they have nothing to do with him at all, it's better to do it, if you don't fight, who will buy his guns.
"What do you want to buy this time?" Browning never asked about specific things, but talked about business.
"All my people's guns have been delivered, right? Do you still owe money? Chen Jianqiu did not answer his question directly.
"Oh, our carriage came with them. Money and goods are cleared. Browning handed Chen Jianqiu a note with Zhang Danian's current address.
"I've brought you some Remington 1858, three for the latest Colt, you're not at a loss, are you?" Chen Jianqiu pointed to the guns he had gotten from Clark in the back of his carriage.
Browning couldn't laugh or cry, what did he want these Civil War obsolete goods to do, but he didn't say anything, and directly ordered Jerry to unload the guns in the car into the backyard.
"Send these and the spring fields in the car to the previous village when the time comes, and then match some bullets, and I will pay you for the freight."
"Maintain and upgrade our guns, give me two Colt 1873 revolvers, and a holster ......," Mr. Chen said, nodding his head as Mr. Browning recorded on paper.
"By the way, can you get a cannon here? The most advanced kind," Chen Jianqiu suddenly approached and asked Browning quietly.
Browning was taken aback and said, "What are you going to do with the cannon?" The question was forced back from his mouth.
He shook his head, but then added, "If you really want to, I'll find a way later." ”
Chen Jianqiu nodded with satisfaction.
The sound of horses was heard outside the door, and a wagon carrying goods stopped at the door of the gun shop.
Browning took a box from the carriage and motioned for the coachman to pull over to the back of the gun shop.
He walked through the door with the box and came to the front of the counter.
Browning opened the box and pulled out a silver bullet from inside.
"Doesn't it look like a silver-plated bullet?" He handed the bullet to Chen Jianqiu.
"Silver-plated bullets? Do you still need to prepare a holy water bottle or a head of garlic or something? Chen Jianqiu looked stunned.
"Well, the town has been haunted again lately, and the mayor has asked me to prepare some silver-plated bullets." Browning sighed, "But this one is galvanized." ”
Chen Jianqiu thought that Montrose didn't have a mayor, which made him even more curious: "If you really meet that thing, your galvanized bullet doesn't work, galvanized bullets are sold as silver-plated, aren't you afraid that the mayor will settle accounts with you?" ”
"If the ghosts are really as powerful as the legend says, what do you want us guns to do?" Browning seemed to be the most rustic materialist at heart, which was grossly inconsistent with his Mormon status.
"By the way, do you want it, I'll give it to you at the price of galvanizing." Browning asked Chen Jianqiu.
"Don't!"
Chen Jianqiu shook his head, after all, in some recent rumors, both he and Black Radish were classified as devils.
The devil should be more powerful than the ghost.
