America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 150 Lincolnshire

Pylor Gartler, the new sheriff of Lincoln County, New Mexico.

Police officer, he just took office not long ago, but he has already become well-known throughout Lincolnshire and the surrounding area, even as far as Santa Fe or Albuquerque, and many people know his name.

Because just half a year ago, he shot and killed the fast gunman "Billy the Kid" who was as famous as "Reaper" Adam Granger.

This 17-year-old young gunman became famous in the Lincolnshire War. With a revolver, he killed dozens of people in a battle, almost wiped out the opponent, and became famous in the first battle.

Several police officers died chasing and killing him, and Billy the Kid ran away again and again under their noses.

But he was dead anyway, killed by Pile's gun.

However, people did not see the sheriff's smug look. From that day on, people said that the sheriff had become taciturn.

After he finished handling the day's work every day, he sat on the chair at the door of the public security station and watched the sunset until it was dark.

Billy the Kid is dead, and Lincolnshire is still Lincolnshire, with mud and horse manure and cattle and sheep running around.

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

He is not busy today.

A horse galloped to the front from a distance, and a man in the uniform of the U.S. Army jumped off the horse and walked quickly to the sheriff.

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

Pile stood up, took the reward order, opened it, and frowned:
"Geronimo? That Apache God of War? They didn't cause any trouble in Lincolnshire, and besides, this isn't something we local sheriffs can handle, right?"

The soldier didn't take it seriously. It seems that he didn't encounter such sheriffs infrequently along the way:
"Just because there hasn't been trouble in the past doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. They've become more dangerous recently."

"Colonel Crook made these bounty orders posted in the counties and counties in southern New Mexico. Don't worry, the bounty is from the military. If you are interested in earning this bounty, you can also join in."

"If you can provide the whereabouts of those Indians, there will be corresponding rewards."

Pile let out a "hmm", turned around, and was about to go to the house to find the paste and post the reward order on the reward column.

"So, has there been anyone with a suspicious complexion in Lincolnshire lately?" asked the soldier.

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

Lincoln County is located on the southeast main road of New Mexico, and there are many people who come and go for business, including Jews, Mexicans, Irish, etc., of course, the skin color is also different.

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 mean an Indian."

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

The police chief also saluted him back: "Hi, Chen Long!"

Seeing that the sheriff didn't intend to answer him anymore, the soldier grunted and got back on his horse. He glanced at the town, then turned his horse's head and prepared to go to the next town.

Chen Jianqiu, whose alias is "Chen Long", arrived in Lincolnshire in the morning, and he came to buy some supplies.

Lincolnshire was the last town to enter the sphere of influence of the original Nahua people. After replenishing supplies, their team was ready to go.

With him came Sean and Holmes.

Geronimo and his Indian warriors must be inconvenient to appear; Asuka's Indian face may cause unnecessary trouble at this time. Danny's injury is healed, but he is still under observation, Teresa Need to take care of him.

As for Adam, although several years have passed, he is still a big shot in New Mexico. When Chen Jianqiu went to Santa Fe last time, he saw his mottled reward order posted on the reward list at the entrance of the Santa Fe Police Station.

Speaking of the bounty order, Chen Jianqiu hasn't seen his own recently, so he doesn't know how much his bounty has risen in Denver.

He met the sheriff when he was shopping for supplies at the grocery store in the morning.

Pile didn't show too much interest in the new faces. Except for the black man who looked a bit mischievous, there was nothing special about the three of them.

Thief?There is no shortage of thieves in Lincolnshire, and robbers and gangs are the specialties here.

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

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

Calculated according to the days, Hanif, Downey and Camilla should be about to arrive.

In the American West in the 19th century, taverns were a good place to go if you wanted to know first-hand about a town.

Chen Jianqiu was sitting in front of the bar, asking the bartender for news about Hanif and the others. Unfortunately, it seemed that they hadn't arrived yet.

The tavern in the morning was not as crowded as it was in the evening, but there were still many people sitting at the tables.

The costumes of these people vary from old to new, but most of them are dressed in cowboy clothes, and they can't hear what they are talking about, and they are all sitting there in a posture that they think is cool.

Some people put their guns on the table and looked at their guns repeatedly.

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 traveling. Some martial arts people gathered in the inn, put on a posture, showed their weapons, and began to pretend to be aggressive.

Chen Jianqiu has always been skeptical about what those martial arts characters rely on for a living, but most of these people in front of him are obviously not rich.

In order not to be chased away by 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 their weapons and physique.

"They're all jobless, and they don't want to honestly do the work of harnessing cattle and horses." The bartender said disdainfully, "A bunch of poor people."

Chen Jianqiu suddenly realized.

The taverns here also function as an underground labor market, where you can find all kinds of people with "stunt skills", and they are the "jianghu people" on this continent.

It's just that sometimes their methods make employers uncomfortable.

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

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

The white man looked like a lean, well-haired horse, with sunken cheeks, missing cheeks, and a large mole on his temple.Behind him followed two other white men, ordinary, like farmers.

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

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

"Oh?"

"I just saw you did a lot of grocery shopping, didn't you?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Sir, you don't understand, sir, you and your companion seem to be responsible businessmen, if you don't have a few strong local cowboys to protect you, it's very unsafe." The skinny horse said in a meaningful way Said in a calm tone, "The vicinity of the town is dangerous."

"No, thank you." Chen Jianqiu seemed to have a particularly good temper, and he refused again.

He didn't want to cause extra complications, who knows what the details of these three people are.

After finishing speaking, Chen Jianqiu stood up. He wanted to see how Sean and Holmes were doing their shopping.

"Wait, sir, you really need a bodyguard, I really didn't lie to you." The skinny horse came up with a sincere face, "I,, we are very cheap."

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

Seeing that Chen Jianqiu was so determined, the three had no choice but to give up, turned around and left, discussing something as they walked, their voices so low that he couldn't hear them.

Chen Jianqiu guessed that most of them were laughing at him for being petty or ignorant.

Not long after, he met Sean and Holmes at the entrance of the hotel, and the two of them had already purchased their things in close proximity.

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

Chen Jianqiu ordered Sean and Holmes to stay in the hotel and wait for Hanif and the others. If there is no news after three days, make another plan.

As for himself, he rushed back to Geronimo's camp not far from Lincolnshire with supplies first.

Holmes was 1 refusing at first. He always felt that being with this black man was insecure and nothing good would happen.

"Don't worry, Xiao En has grown up." Sitting in the carriage, Chen Jianqiu comforted the geologist, then raised his whip and walked away.

However, he didn't know that before he set off, several horses had quietly left Lincolnshire ahead of schedule.
