Chapter 388: Shengmien fights Mi Hatred
The greatest god of the Sioux, ah, no, the prophet sat quietly on the wood, touching the bird's head.
He closed his eyes again, words in his mouth.
Asuka also closed his eyes and squatted in front of the sitting ox, with a reverent expression.
Chen Jianqiu and Roosevelt had already finished their discussions, and they turned their heads to watch the old prophet finish this ancient ritual.
"Mr. Chen, Asuka is a good boy, please train him well, I thank you for his father." Zaniu suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Chen Jianqiu, and said slowly.
Chen Jianqiu was stunned.
How does this old man know my last name?
"The future has become unclear, but fate cannot be changed." The sitting cow sighed.
Chen Jianqiu took off his hat and scratched his head.
Even if you are a true prophet.
Only when you can see clearly can you have ghosts, and you have traveled to this era, and most of the timelines have changed, what do you think?
After saying this, the ox got up and went into the tent.
The rest of the Indians went about their own business.
Seeing that they couldn't ask anything here, Chen Jianqiu and Roosevelt decided to go back to town first, and then make plans.
As they were about to reach the town, they passed by the camp where the circus was located.
Compared with the excitement of last night, the camp at this time was quiet, and there was no movement at all.
"When did this circus appear?" Chen Jianqiu suddenly asked, "Did you come here every once in a while before?" ”
"No, it looks like I started coming here more than a year ago."
Roosevelt stared at the tents and replied.
He suddenly realized what Chen Jianqiu meant.
Several men's horses stopped right in front of the gate of the circus camp.
"Are you saying they're suspicious?"
"I'm just wondering if that's possible." Chen Jianqiu's gaze remained on the camp, as if he was looking for something.
Roosevelt thought for a moment and shook his head:
"No, the raid on the ranch started before they showed up, I remember that very well."
"The first ranch attack happened when the town was sent to investigate, and he had just arrived."
"It was two weeks before the circus came, and their first location was near that ranch."
"That was the first time I saw a circus in this place, but I didn't expect their business to get better and better, and even people from nearby towns came."
Chen Jianqiu listened quietly.
After Roosevelt finished speaking, he continued to control the reins:
"Let's go find out where the lost sheep are."
They continued in the direction of the town.
However, Chen Jianqiu saw a group of townsfolk gathered at the entrance of the town from a distance, looking in their direction.
"Are they waiting for us?" Sean asked, confused.
"Let's go, you'll know when you get there." Roosevelt said.
They arrived at the entrance of the town.
A white-haired old man in a suit vest walked up.
It's the mayor.
Roosevelt dismounted.
"Mr. Sheriff, I've heard that the Indians attacked those ranches, isn't that so?" The mayor asked.
Roosevelt looked into the crowd.
He found Pinker standing at the back of the crowd, his expression the same as ever.
"Mayor Town, this matter has not been fully clarified yet, and I am not sure that they did it for the time being."
"So who did it? It's a little bit more, and there are still pastures being looted! Townsfolk are constantly being killed! ”
The mayor of the town is aggressive.
There was also an uproar among the townspeople, who were already shouting "Kill the Indians!" ”。
Some of the townspeople have already whispered arguments:
"You shouldn't expect this New Yorker, this is not his hometown, he only cares about his ranch."
"Don't be foolish, Mr. Roosevelt has volunteered to clear the town of many bandits in recent years."
"That's not for the safety of your own ranch! You look at his demeanor and dress, he is simply on top. ”
Chen Jianqiu's hearing is better, and he listens to these words.
If Roosevelt had been in his own ranch from beginning to end, he would not have encountered the current dilemma.
This is true between people of the same faith and color, let alone of different races.
"So you're going to get guns and fight the Indians, right? As a vigilante, I have no opinion, and when the time comes, I will rush to be the first. ”
In the face of these excited townspeople, Roosevelt behaved calmly.
Several young people from the townspeople stepped forward:
"Mr. Roosevelt, we are willing to go with you, we all have our own guns and can defend our town!"
Roosevelt nodded:
"Very well, I appreciate your bravery very much."
He removed the gun from the horse behind him:
"I just met the leader of the Indians, his name is Red Cloud, you go back now and get your weapons, and I will take you to kill them."
Hearing the name "Red Cloud", the townspeople looked at each other.
The name, in the Dakota area, is a devilish presence, like Geronimo on the southern border.
Like, I can't beat it.
Mayor Mare coughed slightly.
"Mr. Roosevelt, why don't we contact the Union troops in Bismarck."
Roosevelt's expression gradually became cold, and he looked around at everyone:
"You need to defend your homeland, and I hope you will get involved."
After saying these words, he got back on his horse and headed towards the direction of the security station with Chen Jianqiu.
Pinker rode up and followed.
"Did you spread the news that the Indians were found at the ranch site?"
After entering the police station, Roosevelt sat down in his place and asked Pink who was standing at the table with a serious expression.
Pinker glanced at one of the officers next to him.
The officer was a little embarrassed: "Uh, I'm sorry, sheriff, I accidentally said it." ”
"These townspeople are not very reasonable, and we work tirelessly to maintain law and order for them, and as a result, not only do they not understand, but they gossip."
There was a hint of resentment in Pinker's tone.
"Well, I also think that if the poor mountains and remote areas are out of the people, it is better to go back to the east." Chen Jianqiu said suddenly.
Pinker glanced at Chen Jianqiu.
Roosevelt took off his hat, scratched his head, and waved his hand at several of them:
"Don't say that."
"The Americans who pioneered the West are all brave men, and without their courage, our country would not have developed so rapidly, and I respect them."
He placed his hat on the table and placed his hands next to the table with his fingers crossed:
"This bothering is nothing, and I won't leave until this matter is resolved."
This later president of the United States, with an extremely strong heart, a strong character and a tenacious will, would not have single-handedly challenged the monopoly trust.
This is a trivial matter to him.
Pinker was silent, and Chen Jianqiu stopped talking.
Roosevelt looked out the window for a moment and began to arrange his work:
"Pinker, you went to find out where the sheep in the pasture went, we didn't see them in the Indian camp."
"Could it be that they are hiding?" "It's a big place, it's not easy to find. ”
"There are always traces of dozens of sheep."
Roosevelt said casually.
"It's also possible that it's in a rancher's sheepfold, and the sheep should be marked anyway."
Chen Jianqiu stood aside, looking at Pinker, looking like the heavens were about to descend on the people:
"If you find the sheep, you will find the criminals."
Pink ignored Chen, he called out to the other police officers in the room, grabbed his gun and his coat, and walked towards the door.
"Does he always stink like that?" Chen Jianqiu looked at Pinker's back and asked Roosevelt.
Roosevelt's chin rested on his crossed fingers, and he also looked at Pinker's back:
"He came with a couple of young people, and when he came, he was penniless, and I took them with me for more than a year, and now I have everything but my wife."
"So, don't look at him on the surface, in fact, many things are thinking about me in my heart."
Chen Jianqiu glanced back at Sean and Asuka .
Asuka didn't speak, but Sean slammed his chest with his fist:
"Eh, boss, I've always treated you as a big brother, and I put you in my heart every day"
"I'll go untie my hands."
Chen Jianqiu said hello to Roosevelt.
Sean was still babbling about his loyalty, and Chen Jianqiu had already put his arm around his shoulder.
"Let's go and pee together?"
Chen Jianqiu whispered in his ear as he glanced at the bird.
The black man shuddered, but he still honestly followed Chen Jianqiu and walked out of the door with Asuka and the bird.
"Uh, boss, are we really here to pee?"
Sean, Chen Jianqiu, and Asuka stood in a row at the back of the police station, finished the water, shivered, and lifted their pants.
Chen Jianqiu had a cigarette in his mouth, and he didn't look at him:
"You've had a mission for the past two nights."
