Chapter 152: The Logic of the Robbers

Chen Jianqiu slept soundly that night.

This room was originally the house of the famous sharpshooter "Billy the Kid", and the decoration and furnishings of the house have been maintained in their original state.

This reminded him of Mr. and Mrs. Danny.

In the West, it is unimaginable to be willing to let a stranger live directly in the house and still sleep in his original son's room.

Chen Jianqiu's original plan was to squeeze in with those cowboys, but it was really impossible to find a place with a roof to make a bunk.

But Mr. James said that the house was empty and empty, and Chen Jianqiu looked very honest, so he still insisted on letting him live in.

It wasn't until Chen Jianqiu was lying on the bed that he realized that the furnishings in this room were actually carefully designed.

Although in China, there is a saying that the mirror in the bedroom should not be facing the bed.

But it seems that the original owner of the bedroom did not believe this.

Chen Jianqiu didn't know if Billy Kid's death had anything to do with this mirror, but from the perspective of a gunman, it was reasonable.

Looking inside from the window, you can't see the head of the bed directly, but the mirror at the end of the bed just allows the person lying on the bed to see the avenue at the entrance of the ranch.

The person lying in bed can choose to strike first or run away depending on the situation in the mirror.

This room, very safe.

He slept until the next morning, when he was woken up by a noise outside the window.

"Come out! James! A voice shouted.

Chen Jianqiu didn't get up immediately, he just reached out and pulled the curtain a little, so that he could see the situation outside clearly through the mirror.

There was another reason why he didn't want to get out of bed, and that was that the bed was so comfortable.

Someone did come from outside the ranch.

A dozen cowboys rode horses and lined up at the gate of the farm, their clothes not uniform, but none of them looked like people to be trifled with.

In the middle of them was a man in a dark cowboy hat and a black leather coat, holding a flower scarf in his hand.

This flower scarf Chen Jianqiu looked very familiar.

Dark background with white dots.

Isn't this the leader of the robbers who was shot by himself yesterday? How is it in the hands of this guy?

However, Chen Jianqiu quickly guessed what was probably going on, this guy dressed in black should be what Mr. James called a "serious businessman" - Fred.

"James, come out!" The man next to Fred shouted again.

After a few sounds, Mr. James the Goatee appeared, appeared in the direction of the hay shed, and slowly walked towards Fred. Behind him were a few cowboys with guns.

"What's wrong? Fred? You came here so early in the morning, is there anything wrong? James stood in front of Fred with his waist crossed and said calmly.

"You killed my people." Fred spoke, and he held up the scarf in his hand, "Yesterday afternoon." ”

"All I know is that yesterday my men killed some robbers." James's tone was still steady, "These people stole my cattle some time ago. ”

"Oh? Is it? But as far as I know, they're just on their way back to town. Fred narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Also, they are my people, you say kill them?" ”

"My people have the right to defend themselves, and they have the right to shoot the robbers." James was tough, "I have witnesses. ”

"Witnesses?" Fred's expression froze, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the people around him, "What witness?" ”

These people also participated in the robbery yesterday, and they really couldn't say anything about being killed by one person six or seven people at a time, so they didn't mention Chen Jianqiu to Fred when they went back.

"A Chinese man not only blocked the road and robbed him, but also killed his horse and overturned his car." James said.

"What about others? Where are the people? ”

Fred suddenly felt that the person in front of him was crazy, Chinese? Carriage? What kind of joke is he playing.

James was about to have someone call Chen Jianqiu to come out, but Fred obviously didn't want to give him a chance to continue, he was tired of it.

"James, I'm afraid you didn't understand the point I said, what my people are doing there, it has nothing to do with you, you have to give me an explanation for the people you killed me!"

James was dumbfounded.

Normally, in the west, when there is a dispute between farmers, they usually choose to go private.

The confession that this person refers to is nothing more than losing money and losing territory.

He's been eyeing his ranch for a long time.

Chen Jianqiu, who was watching the broadcast through the mirror, was also impressed by this person's logic.

Not only did he acquiesce in the robbery of his men, he chose to ignore it, and now he wants justice for their deaths.

What kind of bullshit bandit logic is this.

If you want to rob it, just say it, why are you so subtle, they are all men who grew up in the west, and why do you learn from others to be bitches and set up archways.

"You're a robbery!" James looked furious, his goatee standing straight up.

"I'll give you a day to think about it." Fred turned the horse's head.

"I'll be back in a day. When the time comes, whatever you want, move out on your own, or be carried out. ”

He smiled wildly at James.

"Of course, you can also choose to call the police and ask the sheriff, but don't forget, how did your son die, hahahahaha!"

James stood there, the blue-clad cowboy named Howard behind him already furious, and he raised his gun to shoot.

But James shook his head and stopped him: "They didn't fire the first shot, so we can't do it first." ”

Chen Jianqiu snorted coldly behind the window, he originally wanted to help them for the sake of the rancher's good food, drink and shelter.

This man never understood one thing:

It doesn't make sense with robbers.

Either the robbers just don't have logic, or logic always starts from their own point of view, they don't feel like they're famous, and they'll never let you go because you don't fire the first shot.

But in this ranch, there still seem to be people who see through this, or don't care about this.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out from the side of the room, and Fred jerked his head.

His hat had been knocked to the ground, and a hole had been pierced in the brim.

It was only a little bit before he was pierced through his head.

He hurriedly pulled out his gun and began to look everywhere for the source of the gunfire, and his cowboys were looking around.

The man who fired the shot was standing in the doorway of the house, and Emily had a rifle in her hand, the muzzle of which was still smoking.

"Go to war! They went to war! Fred shouted on his horse.

"Come inside!" James shouted as he lunged at Emily, trying to pull her into the house.

But apparently it was too late, and a cowboy next to Fred raised his gun and aimed it at Emily.

James also saw it, and his face showed great despair, he was about to lose another child of his own!

The gun went off.

The bloody scene did not appear in front of James's eyes, and Emily was still standing there, unscathed.

Fred's leg, who was aiming at Emily, had his head pierced, and he fell off his horse, twitched twice, and then lay motionless on the ground, dead.

Howard and the other cowboys' guns rang out, and everyone opened fire as they ran to the vicinity of the house to find cover.

There was a burst of gunfire over the ranch, with casualties on both sides.

Fred came this time, just for the next battle letter, did not bring a lot of people, he saw that the situation was not good, and gave the order to his doglegs to retreat:

"Withdraw first, and come back tomorrow to clean them up!"

With that, he fled the ranch with the doglegs on horseback.

And Chen Jianqiu, who had just saved Emily's life, slowly put the revolver in his hand on the bedside table.

He stretched and got ready to get up.
