Chapter 123: We Need a Carriage
The following is an old acquaintance of Chen Jianqiu, who has dealt with him twice before, once in a wooden house outside the University of Denver, and he didn't see Hernandez's appearance; Another time was in the house in Oak Village, where he beat him like a whack-a-mole.
This person has been in the west for many years, has developed a running ability, and is never ambiguous when selling teammates.
Chen Jianqiu observed the terrain below.
The whole mine is in a valley, and the surrounding terrain is precipitous, and it is obviously impossible to go down directly.
The entrance to the mine is the mouth of the valley, where a row of wooden fences is erected, which has been reinforced and heightened, so that normal people cannot climb in, and it is difficult to make a gap without bombardment.
In the middle is the gate, and inside the gate is a long passage.
As they had seen before, the view of the six watchtowers in the mine overlooked all the lows of the valley mouth, and the fire of six to twelve repeating rifles would be devastating to the blow of that narrow valley mouth.
If the invading enemy dodges the attack from the watchtower, storms the gate, and passes through the passage.
Waiting for them at the entrance of the passage would be a Gatling gun, and Hernandez didn't know where to get one.
Bunkers and barricades were set up there, and it was not realistic to take advantage of the horse's speed to rush in directly.
Chen Jianqiu roughly counted about twenty people who could be seen outside, and there were four lit rooms, if you count the three or four people in each room......
It is conservatively estimated that Hernandez's Hyena Gang has at least forty people, not counting those who are invisible and scattered outside the mine and have not returned.
"It's a bit of a hassle." Jerónimo shook his head, "That's a lot of people." ”
"Well, what a nice person." Chen Jianqiu's gaze did not leave the valley below, and said casually.
All eyes were on him, except for Asuka and Sean, who had become accustomed to their boss coming in from time to time.
Isn't this man crazy, is he? What is better when there are more people? Don't you think you're dead enough?
Of course, Chen Jianqiu is not crazy.
If there are more people, there will be more mouths, and if there are more mouths, there will be more people to eat, and there will be more materials in reserve, and of course there will be more guns.
I really want to sleep and come to the pillow, and I'm worried about no guns and no food, isn't this gone?
He knows too well the combat effectiveness of Hernandez's gang, the discipline is a mess, and it is okay to bully the white skins around him, and it is full of loopholes when he really does it.
Since the guns of the US Army are not convenient to grab for the time being, these Mexican scum can try.
"Open the door! Open the door! ”
Several horses appeared at the mouth of the valley, and the Mexican at the head shouted impatiently at the horse.
The guard on the watchtower turned around and looked this way.
The guard at the door, who was looking out boredly, took a torch from the shelf next to him and walked over.
He shook his torch and saw the leader by the light.
"What's in the back?" He glanced at the carriage behind him.
"Something to rob!" The Mexican man on the horse said angrily, "I don't have your father, I go out to work, you eat fart!" ”
The guard was not angry, he slouched over to the carriage, flipped it over impatiently, and let them in.
A group of men and horses passed through the passage, and dismounted at the exit, and the head of the horse reached into the carriage, and after touching for a long time, he took a bottle of wine out, and poured it with his neck up.
The men dispersed at the doorway, leaving only one man to drive the wagon into the mine.
The guards at the entrance of the mine were even more touching, they were all napping, and they directly let the carriage in.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see." Chen Jianqiu said to Asuka and Sean behind him, turned around and went down the ridge.
Jerónimo glanced down again, shook his head, and led everyone down the mountain after Chen Jianqiu.
A group of people left the mine and set out on the return journey.
When they reappeared at the mouth of the cave where they were stationed, it was nearly midnight, and the old priest and they came out of the cave.
A few Indian warriors helped to get the prey they had hunted on the way, which was not much for their large numbers, but it would not be a problem to fill their stomachs to-morrow morning.
Danny glanced at the team and found that there seemed to be a lack of people, and asked Chen Jianqiu suspiciously, "What about Sean?" Didn't he go out with you? ”
"He has other tasks." Chen Jianqiu said.
He took the saddle blanket off the back of the black radish, found an empty place in the hole and spread it, lay down on it, closed his eyes, and quickly fell into his dream.
The next morning, when Chen Jianqiu opened his eyes, the cave was already busy, and some Indian soldiers poured water into the pot on the campfire with large water bags that were being removed from their horses.
New Mexico's water resources are precious, and the desert areas of the Southwest receive very little annual rainfall, and the warriors get their water from nearby caves.
Chen Jianqiu had instructed them last night not to roast hare meat anymore, this cooking method was too luxurious, and the soup was cooked directly, which was both satisfying and as nutritious as possible for the hungry.
But breakfast should be more than that.
A short time later, the sound of a carriage came from outside the cave.
Chen Jianqiu walked out of the cave,
A carriage stopped at the entrance of the cave, and Sean jumped down from it, looking tired, but after seeing Chen Jianqiu, he suddenly became excited.
"Hey, boss, you're right."
On the way back last night, when everyone got off the horse to rest and release the water, Chen Jianqiu suddenly proposed to build a carriage, and Geronimo and they all felt that this young man was whimsical.
Chen Jianqiu walked up to Sean's side, put his arm around his shoulder, and whispered a few words into his ear.
Sean's head shook like a rattle.
But Chen Jianqiu didn't care about him, and asked Geronimo directly:
"Is there a town nearby?"
"Yes, but a dozen miles away."
"That's it!" Chen Jianqiu patted Sean on the shoulder, took out a few bills from his arms, and handed them to Sean, "Come on, I believe in you." Don't alarm the white skins and say you're a traveler. ”
Sean looked at the money, thought about it, and finally climbed on his horse and headed in the direction of the town.
Chen Jianqiu walked to the back of the carriage.
The carriage had a shed, and he got into it and lifted the cloth that covered the items.
Half a cart of wine, some broken, the rest are some food, and some daily necessities.
The number of these items exceeded his expectations.
Seeing that Chen Jianqiu didn't speak for a long time, Sean hesitated for a while, but still took out the money that Chen Jianqiu gave him last night from his arms and handed it to Chen Jianqiu:
"Well, actually, boss, this car and these things are not bought by me, but ......"
Chen Jianqiu didn't take the money, but continued to check the contents of the car without saying a word, but the more this happened, the more Sean felt cold sweat.
After a while, Chen Jianqiu turned around and said to the black man in a flat tone:
"You don't have to tell me how you got these things, but I want you to learn to control some of your desires, reckless actions can put us at risk, and I want you to treat it as a skill, not instinct."
After that, he patted Sean on the shoulder: "Go to sleep, have a good rest, you don't have to participate in today's action." ”
With that, he re-entered the cave, leaving the black man standing there alone, reminiscing about Chen Jianqiu's words.
