America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 215 "Clothing" is the first in basic necessities of life
Chen Jianqiu came out from the shadows. Abiot and Camila stood on the left and on the right, and there seemed to be someone empty on the left, followed by Holmes and Li Sifu.

A group of people lined up, and the gun in Abiot's hand was still smoking.

Tiago looked left and right, and the group of people around him might not be enough to fight Chen Jianqiu and the woman next to him.

He knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Senior, thank you for not killing me the day before yesterday."

Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and it is not shameful to kneel down to those who are awesome.

As for the strange eyes of the younger brothers, he didn't care at all.

If you like to follow along, then follow along, continue to drink and eat meat, if you don't like to follow along, get out, anyway, if you don't have a good brain, you will be shot sooner or later.

If you didn't kill me the day before yesterday, don't kill me today.

I call you "Senior", do you dare to agree?
"Get up, get up, you're also a big brother, it's not good for your little brothers to see." Chen Jianqiu said, but he didn't have the slightest intention to step forward to help him up.

The younger brothers who stretched out their hands to the things on the carriage also put the things back silently, not daring to make a sound.

Chen Jianqiu walked to the side of the carriage behind Thiago and looked into the carriage.

It was a truckload of goods they'd looted at the Standard Oil camp, with the clothes of the hapless bastards hanging by the side of the truck.

"It's winter, you take off people's clothes, how do you let them live?" He picked up a coat and looked at it.

The workmanship of the clothes is exquisite, and there is a metal logo with the initials of Standard Oil Company on it.

"Tsk tsk, these people are really rich." Chen Jianqiu showed the clothes to everyone, and the fire light shone on the metal label, making Tiago's eyes shine.

"Then I'll send them back?" Thiago saw that no one cared about him, so he got up by himself.

"That won't work. Will you continue to do this in the future? Are you ashamed?" Chen Jianqiu shook his head.

Thiago stood there, a little overwhelmed.

Chen Jianqiu turned around and waved towards the empty space between Abiot and Holmes.

Sean, who was wearing a black robe, ran out.

He has been with Chen Jianqiu for the longest time, and of course he understands his thoughts best.

The black man rummaged around in the bucket for a while, took out a pair of large scissors, walked up to Chen Jianqiu, and pointed the scissors at the clothes.

"Okay, let's leave it near their camp." Chen Jianqiu said, "Get out of here quickly."

"Then, are we leaving?" Thiago asked tentatively?
"Aren't you going to join me in Lincolnshire to find Pile for Christmas?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at him.

Thiago took off his hat and gave a salute to Chen Jianqiu, then waved at the younger brothers, leading them to withdraw.

"Bring something?" Chen Jianqiu's voice suddenly came from behind him, making him tremble in fright.

He turned his head and watched Chen Jianqiu pointing to the carriage of Standard Oil Company.

"Um, okay," Thiago ordered to the younger brothers, "Hurry up, take this car."

"Remember, whoever has the money will rob him." Chen Jianqiu gave Tiago the last piece of advice.

The next morning.

The sun shines on the continent, bringing light back to this world.

Both camps were quiet.

Holmes was the first to emerge from the tent.

Although his actual age is much younger than his appearance, but as a geologist, he has been abroad for many years and has developed the habit of getting up early.

He stretched and looked around.

He suddenly discovered that near the Standard Oil camp, there were a group of "unidentified figures" wrapped in tent cloth, wandering around the camp, as if they were looking for something.

This group of "unknown people" is of course the experts from the Standard Oil Company assessment team.

Last night, Tiago's gang tied them up and threw them by the bonfire, whether it was due to negligence or "discovery of conscience".

Except for Manager Pete, who was knocked out, the others shivered and froze in the middle of the night shirtless at a temperature around zero degrees.

Until even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Manager Pete woke up from the cold.

He untied the ropes for the experts who were half frozen to death, and then inspected the camp.

Except for the collapsed tents and a few naked bodies of bodyguards on the ground, as well as the now useless instruments and office supplies, Tiago and his gang left them with almost nothing.

They even took away the bedding.

Manager Pete's first reaction was to go to Chen Jianqiu's camp for help.

But it was dark all around, and I couldn't see anything.

He didn't dare, and those experts were even more intimidated one by one.

So they tore down the collapsed tents, wrapped them around themselves, surrounded the campfire, and carried them for the rest of the night until dawn.

They found their clothes scattered around the camp.

Thus, an action to save one's own clothes began.

Manager Pete was lucky. Although he didn't find his long johns, he did find his trousers, sweater and coat.

The only fly in the ointment is that a few holes have been cut on the jacket and trousers. As long as the movement is a little bigger, the wind will pour in from the holes.

A feeling of wind in the crotch.

He clamped his trousers, tried not to let himself go naked, and walked slowly to Chen Jianqiu's camp, and happened to run into Chen Jianqiu who got out of the tent.

Chen Jianqiu looked up and down at Manager Pete, who was dressed strangely, with a puzzled look on his face.

And other people in the camp also gathered together and began to watch the person in front of them.

"Sorry, did you meet any robbers yesterday?" Manager Pete blushed, which made his round face look more like a red tomato.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Chen Jianqiu replied.

"Why are you all fine?" The manager suppressed his anger. He suspected that these people had an affair with those robbers.

"Just pay the money, you can't shoot, if you resist, you will be wiped out." Chen Jianqiu spread his hands, "This is the rule around New Mexico."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" The manager's face was full of despair.

"You didn't ask me either."

"We decided to go home, this work can't go on!" Manager Pete couldn't help it.

Those experts also came over, but their "clothes hunting project" was not as good as Manager Pete's. Some had few sweaters, some had no coats, and one of them only found underwear and a hat.

Their hair was disheveled, their lips were purple, and there were dark circles under their eyes.

These decent people from Standard Oil now look worse than the drunks rolling in the dirt in small western towns.

"Uh, you can do whatever you want, but it won't be peaceful on the way back." Chen Jianqiu looked nonchalant.

"However, the way back will not be peaceful. After all, it's almost Christmas, and everyone wants to prepare a 'Christmas gift' for their children."

Manager Pete glanced at the miserable appearance of the group of people around him, and fell silent.

He knew that even if they wanted to go back, whether they could find the way or not, he said that now that they had no clothes and no supplies, they might just turn into a few mummies on the side of Highway 66.

"How far is it from Lincolnshire?" asked Manager Pete.

"almost."

"Then can you borrow some clothes for us to wear first?" Manager Pete said the most important question.

"No problem." Chen Jianqiu readily agreed.

He pouted at Sean.

Sean got into the tent and came out with a pile of his clothes.He muttered and handed it to Manager Pete.

Manager Pete looked at the black man, and then at the clothes in his hands, but he didn't take them for a long time.

"Would you like it, you trash. Hey~tui~" Sean withdrew his hand holding the clothes, spit in front of Manager Pete, turned his head and left.

Chen Jianqiu shrugged.

Pete held back his anger and returned to his camp with a group of several people.

An hour later, Chen Jianqiu had enough food and drink, packed up his tent and prepared to set off.

Manager Pete and several experts stared at each other in their own camp. They discussed for a long time but failed to come up with a solution to the problem.

In the end, it was Manager Pete who let go of his pride and came before Chen Jianqiu again.

"Our horses have also been taken away. If it is convenient, can you lend us some horses?" The fat manager asked with his head down.

"We don't have any extra horses." Chen Jianqiu replied simply, "But you can take a carriage."

He pointed to the flatbed truck behind Li Sifu, and motioned for him to move the barrel down to make room for those people.

Manager Pete was very helpless.

But does he still have a choice between those experts?

Several people climbed into the carriage, curled up beside the barrel, and set foot on the road to Lincolnshire with Chen Jianqiu's team.

　One more, two more later
