America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 186 After January

A month later, outside the stone fortress, the treasure hunting team was ready to go.

Chen Jianqiu was riding a black radish, and he had already changed into a thicker fleece leather jacket, which Zhang Danian asked Niu San and the others to bring over.

The old man originally prepared a deer head hat for Chen Jianqiu, which he sewed with his own hands after leading a group of people hunting in the forests of Colorado.

But firstly, the weather in New Mexico is not as outrageous as that in Colorado, at least the temperature during the day is not bad, and secondly, Chen Jianqiu thinks a deer head on his head is too flamboyant.

So, the hat is still on the wall in the back of the office.

A few days ago, Asuka and Niu San finally arrived at the stone fortress with about twenty strong young men. They all carried brand new imitation Winchester repeating rifles on their backs.

Niu San told him that these ten or so people have all been rotated in Browning's gun shop and received shooting training, and they are currently the most elite force in Zhang Danian's place.

Since Chen Jianqiu left Denver, the situation in Zhang Danian's place is not good.

As before, few people are willing to sell them land, even the most barren land.They had to build a temporary foothold at the foot of Kanon Mountain.

There was nothing to grow on that piece of land, so Zhang Danian took the men into the forest and became hunters. For a while, life was pretty good.

Still later, the Browning gun store in Montrose began offering jobs to them.

Montrose is not far from Canon, and Zhang Danian began to arrange for young people in the village to take turns.

The most paradoxical thing is that since they started providing security services for the Browning Gun Store, the gun store's business has suddenly become better.

Correspondingly, after they received the batches of guns from the gun shop, more and more Chinese came to the settlement.

Some of them were miners in the neighborhood, and some were manufacturing workers around Denver.

But Zhang Danian has been paying attention to Chen Jianqiu's news, and he has become more determined to follow this young master.

Therefore, when Asuka came to Kanon, Zhang Danian wished he could take the troops to Roswell immediately.

After the old man read the front of the letter, the wrinkles on his face stretched out like spring rain in mud, and he handed the letter to Niu San.

Niu San also finished reading. He and the old man may be one of the few literate people in the TP army. He hesitated and said to Zhang Danian:
"Uncle Da Nian, there is a saying that I don't know if I should say it or not."

Zhang Danian is just full of ambition: "Fart, let go!"

"I see what the young master means. What they need for the time being are some strong men who can fight and work. You always..."

Zhang Danian's eyes widened: "Am I worse than you? Am I not enough to eat you? Or am I not enough to kill you?"

Niu San kept silent, and handed the reverse side of the letter to Zhang Danian.

Only then did the old man discover that there was a sentence written on the back of the letter paper:

"Uncle Da Nian, I know that you can still piss against the wind, but I hope you can still stabilize the overall situation there temporarily, and we will meet soon."

Tears welled up in Zhang Danian's eyes, and Niu San deeply felt that the young master had planned things like a god.

In addition, during this month, the expert team formed by Holmes, Smith and engineer Jackson has not stopped searching near Roswell.

In addition to the original oil well, they discovered an underground oil spring on the west side of the ranch, which is easy to extract surface oil.

In addition to the two oil wells, they also did a very meaningful thing.

A well was dug inside the stone fortress.

After repeated verification by two geologists, the aquifer around Roswell exists, and the closest one to them is directly below the stone fortress.

Yes, before Vaughan and his soldiers drilled holes everywhere, but they didn't dig below the place where they lived, so they had to go far to find water to drink.

Smith happily wrote all the discoveries here in a letter, and then Abiot took them out together, and nothing happened unexpectedly.

At the same time, he also brought the accountant's abnormal use of funds report.

As for those Nahua people, the two sides lived in peace. Chen Jianqiu personally sent supplies and brought back some wood and fur products.

Geronimo set off with the warriors of the Apache tribe, towards their homeland.

For the time being, Chen Jianqiu didn't ask anyone to contact those Apache people who stayed in the mine. First, he was completely safe on his side. Second, contacting Luo Cen rashly might risk exposing his position.

After some discussions, the treasure hunting team that finally set off was led by Chen Jianqiu, Adam, Danny and his wife, Holmes, Hanif, his follower Donny, and Sean, plus three veterans of Niu San's subordinates.

Basically elite.

Asuka stayed in the fortress and helped Camilla with Niu San and the others. They needed to work with the expert team and the employees who passed the interview to build the drilling well and the oil pump.

Over the next few days, the treasure hunt traveled all the way south.

The corn hovered over the front of the team, which allowed them to quickly find the river that the old Nahua man had mentioned.

According to the Nahua people, they should cross that river, but in that case, they would go east.

After Chen Jianqiu and Holmes repeatedly confirmed that the direction was correct, they continued to go south along the river.

On both sides of the river bank, there are tall vertical cliffs, and the stones have been weathered into fragments of different sizes. Depending on the flow section, some places are covered with vegetation, while others are still bare.

Holmes sketched on his map as he rode.

According to his judgment, the river is actually a north-south river called the Pecos River, which originates in north-central New Mexico and flows through eastern New Mexico and western Texas.

"Tell me, if we go all the way down the river, wouldn't it be more convenient to take a boat?" Sean guessed that his butt hurt a little, and said to himself.

"If you can change a few boats for us now, we can consider your suggestion." Danny said at the back of the team.

Chen Jianqiu ignored the two people's bickering, he suddenly found that the corn suddenly stopped flying forward, but kept circling in the sky not far ahead.

While circling, it also issued an eagle whistle.

Chen Jianqiu galloped forward.

The sound of the water ahead grew louder as the distance approached, until it merged into a loud noise.

Black Carrot stopped in front, and everyone quickly caught up.

Chen Jianqiu finally understood why the Nahua people misunderstood the river.

"Danny, I guess, even if Xiao En conjured up the boat, you probably wouldn't be willing to sit on it." Chen Jianqiu said.

The Pecos River was cut off in front of them, and the water roared and fell with a mighty roar.

A waterfall appeared below them.
