Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 503 There are actually many smart people

The two cowboys were not fools, otherwise they would not have said anything just now, and it was all up to Sam.

The secret channel boss is indeed rich and willing to spend money.

In their minds, the lives of the three Marcus brothers, and $3, were enough for someone to kill them.

But the new boss spent more than 20.

But the effect was excellent. At least the cowboys at Tucker Ranch would never dare to betray Chu Xiangqian in the future.

As for the people in the small town, basically no one dared to mess with Chu Xiangqian.
-
What Sam and the others didn't know was that Chu Qianqian had already seen everything clearly through his tits.

I couldn't help but pay more attention to Sam in my heart.

Then I vaguely felt that Maria, a girl, could maintain Tucker Ranch and not be swallowed up by outsiders.

In addition, Tucker Ranch has received stable income every year in the past few years, which should have a lot to do with Sam and the seven cowboys at Tucker Ranch.

Secretly thinking that he could rest assured now, he left the Tucker Ranch to Sam and the seven cowboys.

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, Chu Xiangqian heard a knock on the door and pretended to be unhappy about being woken up.

He kissed Xiao Lan'er on the face and said it was okay, then got up and opened the door.

"Go forward, Simon takes Sam and says there is something important."

Chu Qianqian nodded to Lao Jiang, who took the initiative to enter the role of night watchman after arriving at the ranch.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Jiang. When the people from Hong Kong Island come over, you won't have to work so hard."

Lao Jiang shook his head, "My old bones can only do so much. And when you are old, you don't sleep much."

Chu Xiangqian did not argue with Lao Jiang.

It might be even more uncomfortable for him to do nothing and just enjoy the blessings, while Lao Jiang celebrates with his master, the Palace Chief, and Xianxiantian.

Chu Qianqian pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a while, "Then I will ask Da Zhuang and Hong Niu to follow you at night. With two hunting dogs here, you don't have to work so hard."

After hearing this, Lao Jiang immediately smiled.

After all, in Lao Jiang's heart, Chu Xiangqian had no need or obligation to provide for himself in old age.

So while you can still move, help Chu move forward. In the future, when the old man can no longer walk, you can eat and drink from him with peace of mind.

Moreover, after Lao Jiang had protected two generations of the Gong family for half his life, he already regarded Chu Qianqian as the third generation who needed to be protected.

If he is not allowed to do things, it will only take three to five years for him to be too old to walk.

On the contrary, let him continue to shine, and it is not impossible for him to live for another 30 or [-] years.

After all, people still have to have hope and a sense of existence.

If Lao Jiang really stayed with Chu Xiangqian for 30 or 10 years, or even just [-] years, then he would definitely treat Lao Jiang as a relative.
-
When I came downstairs, I saw Simon, Sam, and two cowboys standing in the living room.

After letting the four people sit down, Lao Jiang also took the initiative to pour tea for Simon, the four people and Chu Qianqian.

Then he went out and stood guard outside the door so that no one would disturb him.

A few minutes later, Chu Qianqian listened to Sam’s report and said to Simon with a smile, “From now on, the Tucker Ranch will be managed by Sam and the seven cowboys.

As the head of the Cowboys, you must treat the three groups of Sam, Hans, and Horner equally while managing them. "

Simon was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly. Now it was truly confirmed that he would become the number three person in the ranch.

Sam and the others were naturally overjoyed, knowing that they and others were accepted by the new boss.

Chu Xiangqian continued, "From now on, Sam's salary will be the same as that of Hans and Horner. The future cowboys of the third group at Tucker Ranch will have the same salary and benefits as the cowboys of the first and second groups."

After saying that, as Sam and the other three kept thanking him, Chu said to Qianqian, "Wait a moment." Then he went upstairs and took out $3 from the Novice Village warehouse.

He went downstairs and threw it to Sam and the other three, "It's too late, I have to get up early to work tomorrow, so go back to bed early.

As for Marcus, there is no need to look for him tomorrow.

My people have found where the guy is hiding.

But I didn’t let my people take action. Instead, I planned to use Marcus’s life to tell everyone in the town and the people of Santa Barbara that you would get money if you work for me.

Go against me, I don't mind spending money more valuable than their lives to buy their lives. "

Simon, Sam and the two cowboys felt nervous.

The first is to realize that the boss is not just the cowboy subordinates like himself.

The second is to realize that the boss's men are definitely experts, and they should be located in Santa Barbara County or Los Angeles.

How else would it be possible to arrive at the ranch in one day and go into the mountains to find Marcus, who escaped into the mountains at 6 p.m.

However, Simon thought about Margaret's identity and quickly determined that it was normal for the boss to have some powerful subordinates, and there was no need to deceive himself and others.

Simon stood up hurriedly, said good night to Chu Qianqian, and left with Sam and the other three.

After leaving the big house, he said hello to Lao Jiang again.

After leaving, Simon thought about it, pulled Sam and the three of them and said, "Last month, the Los Angeles flour merchants had a conflict with the ranch because of the canyon to the north of the ranch.

There were only three people around the boss, and they killed more than a dozen gangsters who entered the manor in the dark.Understand? "

Simon didn't tell the truth and took the initiative to conceal the fact that Chu Xiangqian was also a master.

But what Sam and the two cowboys heard was that the new boss not only had other weapons, but also all of them were masters.

The two cowboys who had just received a reward of 2 US dollars immediately put away their excitement.

Then he took the initiative to think that the men around Chu Xiangqian should all be the kind of super masters in novels or movies, who can kill 10 of them by one person.

Sam nodded, "Don't worry, you don't know. I just want to live a stable life now."

Simon knew what Sam meant. This guy also had a wife and children. A stable income and a familiar working environment were what he valued most.

Otherwise, a few years ago, maybe the three Marcus brothers were not driven out of the town, but were buried somewhere.

But this time the three Marcus brothers came back for revenge, which also made Sam understand that he was wrong.

Otherwise, he would not have told the forest rancher to go into the mountains at 5 a.m. to hunt down Marcus.

The purpose is to make up for his original mistakes.

Simon rode his horse and sent the three Sams to the ranch gate and watched them riding on the main road back to Tucker Ranch.

But I was secretly thinking about it. I heard that when Sam was young, he was a member of the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment.

The bloody battle in Normandy lasted for 33 days.

After that, he fought bloody battles in Best Town for 72 days and left the front line only after being wounded.

When he recovered from his injuries, he was lucky enough to miss some of the bloodiest and most tragic battles in the Battle of Bastogne.

Otherwise, there is really no chance of returning to the town alive.

He then participated in the final capture of Berchtesgaden and was stationed there until the end of the war.

Probably because the battle he participated in was too bloody, this guy became soft-hearted after he came back.And he has never mentioned his experience on the European battlefield to others.

But medals can't deceive people. If anyone inquires, just being from the 101st Airborne Division will tell people what he went through back then.

If Chu Xiangqian knew that among his cowboys, there were actually people from the 101st Airborne Division, he would definitely give Sam a thumbs up.

However, the 501st Airborne Regiment was not a direct unit of the Airborne Division at the beginning, but the third airborne regiment that was added after the Airborne Division entered England.
-
Chu Qianqian returned to his bedroom and saw that Xiao Lan'er had fallen asleep again, and his heart moved.

Turned around and went to Hong Kong Sheng's room.

He opened the door easily with two wires. The sleeping Hong Kong student felt someone lying next to him.

Fortunately, when she heard Chu Qianqian's voice in her ear, the little girl didn't scream in fear.

Not long after, a low groan came from the room.

While I slept with Hong Kong Sheng in my arms until dawn, Titmouse kept staring at Marcus, who was hiding in a cave on the cliffside of a high mountain in the mountains.

If this guy wasn't hiding in a cave, it would have taken a lot of effort for the titmouse to find him in the woods in the mountains.

But Marcus chose to spend the night here, not only to avoid wild beasts, but also because it was easy to see the surrounding environment from the cliff.

If someone goes up the mountain with a torch or flashlight, it's hard to avoid his eyes.

Moreover, lying on the cliff, he can shoot at the pursuers from a high position.

After Chu Xiangqian woke up, he focused on the tit and saw Marcus lying on the cliff, constantly scanning the distance.

Apparently, this was to find a way out and at the same time determine if anyone was entering the mountain to search for him.

But what Marcus didn't expect was that at Forest Ranch, Sam said they would gather at 5 o'clock last night.

But I waited and waited until it was past 6 o'clock. I still didn't see Sam or his people, so I had to call and ask.

This delay delayed the start of entering the mountain until after 7 o'clock.

It was a perfect avoidance. After dawn, I lay down on the cliff and stared at Marcus down the mountain for nearly an hour.

The other people in the town, those who started early, had already entered the mountains from other directions in the town at around 6 o'clock.

Then experienced hunters naturally knew that since Marcus had escaped into the mountains from the forest pasture, if they wanted to find his whereabouts, they would naturally have to go to the mountains and forests beyond the forest pasture.

Some members of the team even deliberately made the dogs bark.

The purpose is to alert the enemy. As long as Marcus starts to escape, he will definitely leave clues.

On the contrary, he was hiding in an extremely hidden place. Without the dog smelling his scent beforehand, it was not so easy to find him.

Dog barking made Marcus understand that the cliff where he was hiding could not last long.

I can only pick up the gun and run away into the mountains with hatred.

But what Marcus never expected was that someone knew that he was not good at tracking, and he might not be able to find him even if he went into the mountains. Instead, he would easily ambush him.

Just wait at the mountain passes in the surrounding mountains.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, there was a gunshot, and the bullet grazed Marcus's arm and flew away, and at the same time wiped a small blood mark on his arm.

When Marcus lay down subconsciously, several more bullets flew over his head.

When the three young men in their 20s saw that they missed the hit, they immediately began to fight and curse.

However, although he failed to kill him, he forced Marcus back into the mountains again.

If you miss this mountain pass and want to reach another place, you have to walk at least more than 20 miles of mountain roads.

For Chu Xiangqian, this journey may only take two or three hours.

But for ordinary people, it may take a whole day, or even two days.

And the longer it takes, the greater the danger will be for Marcus, who is short of water and food.

At the same time, what made Marcus sad and angry was that at least several teams with dogs were looking for him in the mountains. Unexpectedly, there were also three people ambushing him at the mountain pass.

This means that the people who are chasing him are by no means only the people in the forest and pasture.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many dogs in one ranch.

There are not enough people to divide into four or five teams.

After all, if a team of two or three people goes into the mountains to pursue a lone wolf who can ambush and shoot with a black gun, they are basically joking with their own lives.

But what Marcus didn't expect was that in the morning in the town tavern, it was reported that Forest Ranch had received the bounty, and many people could no longer sit still.

Someone was armed with a gun, grabbed his friends and hurried into the mountains.

Naturally, some people, after some thinking, teamed up with their friends, drove around the surrounding mountains, and entered the mountains from the side and back to surround him.

In this way, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Marcus, who was walking towards the second exit, encountered a team of four people.

Moreover, the leader of the group was very experienced and was hiding around a mountain stream.

Waiting for the hungry and thirsty Marcus to enter the encirclement by himself.

Chu Qianqian, who was staring through the tits, thought the game would be over. Unexpectedly, the group did not intend to kill Marcus just like that.

Seeing Marcus being forced from behind with a gun, he had to put down the gun in his hand. Then he was searched, his hands were tied, and he was led on the way out of the mountain.

Chu Xiangqian quickly understood that to kill Marcus at this time, the four people in the team would have to carry Marcus' body out.

Even if you wait next to the body in the mountain and send one person out to find someone to come and examine it, there is a high probability that other people who are chasing you will come to you while you are waiting, and there may be a fight for the bounty.

Secondly, in case someone is hiding aside, watching him and others kill Marcus, and then call the police.

Not only would he and others be in trouble, but the bounty would most likely be lost.

It would be better to escort Marcus out of the mountains, find his car, hide the person, and kill Marcus privately in front of the owner of the bounty to collect the reward directly.

Knowing this, Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and called someone to inform Simon and Sam.

Let the two of them take the two cowboys from last night, ride on horseback to capture Marcus's four men, and wait at the parking place.

As for how to find the parking place for the four people, Titmouse had a great advantage in the mountain and forest environment.

Humans take hours to walk, but tits fly in the air in just a few minutes.

Chu Qianqian only had to roughly estimate the walking speed of the four people and let the tits fly around within this range. In just twenty minutes, he found two pickup trucks parked on a mountain road outside the woods.

When Simon and Sam arrived at the Mid-Levels Manor with two people, Titmouse had even explored the route of escorting Marcus and the four people down the mountain.

Then Chu Xiangqian used a pencil to draw a topographic map on the paper.

Simon and Sam just looked at it for a few dozen seconds and quickly determined where that place was.

Then, I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration and fear towards Chu Qianqian's so-called subordinates.

In their minds, the person who went into the mountain to capture Marcus had no idea that he was surrounded by a team that was very good at lurking and tracking.

If this was opened, Marcus and the team that captured him might die without knowing how.
