America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 301 The Bloody Drama in the Wilderness

The Mexican straightened his clothes and patted the dust off his body.

Chen Jianqiu looked the Mexican up and down, and he didn't look like a stowaway.

No stowaway in his memory would dress so decently, even though he was chased by a gang of gangsters not long ago.

While making gestures, the Mexican murmured to Chen Jianqiu for a long time, then took off his hat, and bowed deeply to Chen Jianqiu.

"He said he thanked us unknown warriors for their help, and expressed his sincere thanks to us." Camila put her hands on her shoulders, translating the Mexican's words.

"Let's go." Chen Jianqiu glanced at the things scattered on the ground, turned around and prepared to mount his horse.

Cleaning up these robbers who appeared on the border is just a matter of convenience. As for the young Mexican in front of him, as long as he is not the son of the Mexican president, he is not very interested.

Just when Chen Jianqiu and the others were about to continue on the road.

Inside the carriage, there was a sudden movement.

A girl in a long skirt and a big straw hat suddenly poked her head out of the carriage and slammed on the door of the carriage frantically.

"Ariana! You finally woke up!" The Mexican saw the girl with a joyful expression on his face.

He turned around and rushed towards the carriage like a cheerful pony.

"When the gangsters shot just now, you fainted and scared me to death!"

He walked to the side of the carriage, stretched out his hand and opened the door of the carriage, and said to the girl with concern.

A girl named Ariana jumped out of the carriage and pushed away the young man beside her: "I've had enough! Romero! You lied to me, I want to go home!"

Romero wanted to go forward to hug the girl, but the girl pushed her away forcefully.

The young man took two steps back, tripped over a stone on the ground, and fell directly to the ground.

"You told me that there is freedom outside Juárez, beautiful grasslands, and flowers all over the mountains, but what have we gained so far?"

Panting, Ariana's hat had already flown to the side, and shouted hysterically at the young man on the ground: "There is only sand all over the sky! Cacti full of thorns! There are also murderous robbers!"

"No food! No bed! Not even water!" Her eyes were red, and tears were about to fall.

Romero stared blankly at the girl in front of him, a little distracted: "But, but we have love!"

The girl ignored him at all, and the tears in her eyes kept flowing outside as if a dike had burst.

She covered her face with her hands and knelt down on the ground in pain.

Camilla translated their conversation to Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu was dumbfounded.

Didn't these two elope?If you really eloped, just cross the Rio Grande and run to Texas, and you're done. Why do you go around such a big circle and come to the border where New Mexico is stationed?
Moreover, what is it to engage in this "fateful mandarin duck" drama in this place where there is no village and no shop behind?
Chen Jianqiu looked a little like to laugh.

It's just a pity for the poor coachman, who is looking blankly at the pair of Mexican men and women in front of him who don't know what to say.

Then, he silently walked towards the body of his dead colleague.

This bloody emotional drama on the border is still going on.

Romero stood up, and wanted to come over to comfort the girl.

But the girl suddenly seemed to have figured out something.

She stood up, wiped away her tears, and walked in front of Chen Jianqiu with a rainy look on her face:

"Can you take me back to Juarez, I want to go home."

Romero was struck by lightning when he heard the girl's words.

He ran over nervously and grabbed Ariana's hand: "Ariana! Are you regretting it? Didn't we agree? We..."

The girl shook off the young man's hand, and she didn't even want to look at Romero, but looked at Chen Jianqiu firmly.

"We don't have any extra horses." Chen Jianqiu answered simply.

He turned his head and beckoned the rest of the team to leave.

"My father is the magistrate of Juárez - Damian Gutierrez!" Ariana exclaimed.

However, no one in Chen Jianqiu's group paid any attention to her.

This caught her by surprise.

At that time in Mexico, although under the leadership of former President Juárez, there was an asset pick-up, but it was not thorough, and the church and the original feudal forces were still strong.

Although the local governors are said to be elected by the people, they are basically local powerful figures.

Around Juárez, mentioning his father's name often solves all problems.

But the group of people in front of them didn't respond at all.

"Don't you all know my father?" The girl was a little annoyed.

"This is in the United States." Holiday, who was walking last, kindly reminded the girl, and he pointed to Chen Jianqiu and the others, "Besides, they really don't know each other."

Ariana was dumbfounded.

I have been spoiled and spoiled since I was a child, and I don’t go out of the door. In this desolate place, it is difficult to survive, let alone go back to Juarez.

At that time, I ran out with Romero in a hothead, but I was almost scared to death on the way, and now I really regret it.

Compared with the cruelty of survival, the vows under the flowers before the moon are like the sand under the feet, which will be scattered when the wind blows.

She summoned up her courage, held up her skirt and ran to Chen Jianqiu's horse who was about to leave, and grabbed the black radish by the reins.

Ariana's eyes were red again, she bit her lower lip, and stared at Chen Jianqiu, looking like she was about to cry again, so pitiful.

"Take me!" She began to act like a baby.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at her with a half-smile.

He pointed to Camilla in red at the side, looked at the girl at the same time, and asked:

"Are you as pretty as her?"

Camilla smiled slightly, full of charms.

Rabiot translated.

The girl was stunned, not knowing what to say.

"Are you as sexy as her?"

Chen Jianqiu had no intention of letting the girl go.

The girl lowered her head to look at her own chest, and then at Camilla's graceful figure on the horse.

"Can you fight with her?"

Camilla's revolver gleamed in the sunlight.

The girl was speechless.

"Then stop booing here, let that kid take you back." Chen Jianqiu pointed to Romero, who was not far away.

Hei Luobo snorted, turned around and walked away.

Twenty or so people hurried past the girl on horseback.

Holiday also reminded her very "politely":
"Excuse me, it won't hurt to hit you. There is no place to replenish water if you cry a lot."

Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, the girl got angry, turned her head and ran towards the carriage.

She boarded the carriage, pointed at Chen Jianqiu and the others who were leaving, and said to the driver who had returned to the driver's seat: "Turn around and follow them."

The coachman hesitated.

"I'll give you money!" Ariana took out Mexican pesos from her bag and waved them at the driver.

Romero, who was standing there just now, saw Ariana came back, thought that the girl had changed her mind, and immediately ran towards the carriage as if alive.

But the carriage did not wait for him, it had already started.

"Ariana! Ariana! Wait for me!" Romero yelled as he ran after the carriage.

"Girl, should we wait for that man?" The coachman turned his head and looked at the young Mexican man with a mustache who had been eating ashes behind the carriage, and asked, "Leaving him here alone is also a death."

Ariana was silent.

In the end, the coachman couldn't stand it anymore.

He stopped the carriage, took out a saddle and a blanket from the top of the carriage, carried them on his shoulders and walked back.

The coachman thrust the saddle into the panting Romero:

"There are still two horses in the wrecked carriage at the back. You untie the horses, then throw the blanket on and put on the saddle." After the driver finished speaking, he went back to the carriage.

Romero stood in the wilderness with his saddle in his arms, feeling bitter in his heart.
