Pyler Gatler, the newly appointed sheriff of Lincolnshire, New Mexico.

He had only just been appointed as a police officer, but he was already known throughout Lincolnshire and the surrounding area, even as far away as Santa Fe or Albuquerque.

Because just half a year ago, he shot and killed the fast gunner "Billy the Kid", who is as famous as "Death" Granger.

The seventeen-year-old gunman made a name for himself in the Lincolnshire War, killing dozens of people in a battle with a revolver, almost annihilating the opposing side, and making a name for himself.

Several police officers died in pursuit of him, and Billy the Kid ran away again and again under their noses.

But he still died, under Pyler's gun.

However, people did not see the smug appearance of the sheriff, and from that day on, people said that the sheriff had become silent.

After he had finished his day's work, he sat on a chair at the door of the police station and watched the sun set until it was dark.

Billy the Kid is dead, and Lincolnshire is still the same Lincolnshire, with mud, horse manure, and cattle and sheep running all over the ground.

On this day, the sheriff still sat in the chair in front of the door as usual.

He's not busy today.

A horse galloped in front of him from a distance, and a man in an American Army uniform jumped off his horse and walked quickly in front of the sheriff.

"Sheriff Gatler, this is the latest bounty order, please help me post it." The soldier handed a roll of paper to the sheriff.

Pyler stood up, took the bounty order, opened it, and frowned:

"Jeronimo? That Apache god of war? They didn't make any trouble in Lincolnshire, and it's not something that we local sheriffs can handle, is it? ”

The soldier was unimpressed, and it seems that he did not encounter such sheriffs along the way:

"Just because there wasn't trouble in the past doesn't mean they won't be in the future, and they've become more dangerous lately."

"Colonel Crook has put up these bounties in the southern counties of New Mexico, and you can rest assured that the bounties are from the military. If you're interested in earning this bounty, you can join in as well. ”

"If you can provide the whereabouts of those Indians, there is a corresponding reward."

Pyler let out an "um" and turned away, ready to go to the house to find the paste, and put the bounty on the bounty bar.

"So, have there been any suspicious people in Lincolnshire lately?" The soldier asked.

Pyler turned his head and looked at the soldier like a fool.

Lincolnshire is located on the southeastern artery of New Mexico, and there are many people who come and go to do business, Jews, Mexicans, Irish, etc., and of course have different skin colors.

He pointed to a man who was slowly passing behind the soldiers in a carriage and asked:

"Does this person count?"

The soldier turned his head and shook his head: "This looks like a Chinese, I'm talking about Indians." ”

"Hello, Sheriff!" The Chinese in the carriage greeted Pyler with a smile,

The sheriff also returned a salute to him: "Good, Long Chen!" ”

Seeing that the sheriff was no longer going to deal with him, the soldier grunted, turned over his horse, looked at the town, and then turned his horse's head to the next town.

Chen Jianqiu, who goes by the pseudonym "Chen Long", arrived in Lincolnshire in the morning to buy some supplies.

Lincolnshire was the last town to enter the former Nahua's sphere of influence, and once they had replenished their supplies, their party was ready to go.

He was followed by Sean and Holmes.

Jeronimo and his Indian warriors must have been inconvenient to appear; Asuka's Indian face may also cause unnecessary trouble at this time, Danny's injury is healed, but it is still observing, Teresa needs to take care of him.

As for Adam, although several years have passed, he is still a big man in New Mexico, and the last time Chen Jianqiu went to Santa Fe, he saw his mottled bounty order, which was still posted on the bounty list at the entrance of the Santa Fe Police Department.

When it comes to the bounty order, Chen Jianqiu hasn't seen his own recently, and he doesn't know how much his bounty has risen to in Denver.

He met the sheriff in the morning while shopping for supplies at the grocery store.

Pyler didn't show much interest in the faces, and the three of them, except for the black man who looked a little sinister, nothing else was special.

Thief? Thieves are the most important thing in Lincolnshire, and robbers and gangs are the specialties here.

So, the sheriff focused on interrogating Sean, while Chen Jianqiu and Holmes only conducted routine questioning.

Chen Jianqiu asked Shaun and Holmes to continue shopping in the town, and he went to the pub in Lincolnshire.

In terms of days, Hanif, Donnie and Camilla should be almost there.

In the 19th-century American West, if you want to know first-hand information about a town, the tavern was the place to be.

Chen Jianqiu was sitting in front of the bar, asking the bartender about Hanif's news, and unfortunately, it seemed that they had not arrived yet.

The tavern in the morning is not as crowded as it is in the evening, but there are still quite a few people sitting at the various tables.

The men were dressed in a variety of fashions and new, but most of them were dressed as cowboys, and I couldn't hear what they were talking about, and they were all sitting there in a pose that they thought was cool.

Some people, with their guns on the table, looked at their guns over and over again.

Chen Jianqiu looked at them, and suddenly a picture appeared in his mind.

This group of people is a bit like the scene in the martial arts TV series I saw before I crossed over, some martial arts people gathered in the inn, put on a posture, showed their weapons, and began to pretend.

Chen Jianqiu has always been suspicious about what those martial arts characters rely on to eat, but most of these people in front of him are obviously not wealthy.

In order not to be kicked out of the tavern, they ordered the cheapest glass of wine in the tavern, drank half of it and put it on the table, and then began to show off their weapons and physique.

"They are all unemployed, and they refuse to do the work of harnessing oxen and horses honestly." The bartender said disdainfully, "A bunch of poor ghosts." ”

Chen Jianqiu suddenly realized.

The taverns here also function as an underground labor market, where you can find all sorts of "skilled people" who are the "charlatans" of the continent.

It's just that sometimes their way is uncomfortable for employers.

The white cowboy who is now standing in front of Chen Jianqiu is one of them.

"Sir, do you need bodyguards?" The cowboy walked to Chen Jianqiu's side and said in a rough voice.

The white man looked like a skinny horse with exuberant hair, the flesh of his face was sunken, his cheeks were missing, and he had a large black mole on his temple. He was followed by two other white men, ordinary, like farmers.

"I don't need a bodyguard, thanks." Chen Jianqiu shook his head.

"You need, sir." "Skinny Horse" said to him very seriously.

"Oh?"

"I just saw you shopping a lot at the grocery store, didn't I?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Sir, you don't understand, sir, that you and your companions seem to be businessmen who do their duty, and that it is not safe to do without a few strong local cowboy protections." Skinny said in a meaningful tone, "The vicinity of town is dangerous. ”

"No thanks." Chen Jianqiu's temper looked exceptionally good, and he refused again.

He didn't want to make a fuss, who knows what these three people are.

After that, Chen Jianqiu stood up, he wanted to see how Sean and Holmes were procuring.

"Wait, sir, you really need bodyguards, I really didn't lie to you." The skinny horse walked up with a sincere face, "I, we're cheap." ”

Chen Jianqiu couldn't cry or laugh, and refused again.

Seeing that Chen Jianqiu was so resolute, the three of them had to give up, turned around and left, discussing something as they walked, and their voices were so small that he couldn't hear them.

Chen Jianqiu guessed that he was mostly laughing at him for being stingy or not knowing what to do.

Soon after, he met Sean and Holmes at the door of the hotel, and the two of them had already purchased eight or nine things.

The three of them found a place to have a meal together.

Chen Jianqiu instructed Sean and Holmes to stay in the hotel, wait for Hanif and them, and make plans if there is no news in three days.

As for himself, he rushed back to their camp not far from Lincolnshire with supplies.

Holmes was at first 10,000 unwilling, he always felt insecure and insecure with this black man, and it must not be good.

"Don't worry, Sean has grown." Chen Jianqiu sat in the carriage, comforted the geologist, and then raised his horsewhip and drove away.

However, he did not know that before he set off, several horses had quietly left Lincolnshire in advance.
