Brandy drove the carriage at a constant speed, playing a very classic Western movie tune in his memory. After playing it, he was still not satisfied, so he started singing according to the tune:
"He's always the talk of the town,
He has a restless gun,
Don't fool him by shooting randomly.
It's better to chase other gangsters,
Let’s go chase the other gangsters…”
Brandi now has a sense of freedom that "the sea is wide for fish to jump, and the sky is high for birds to fly." This mentality is actually easy to understand. For example, when the entire company is working on a very important big project,
Your boss suddenly sends you on a business trip. Although a business trip involves official duties, it is much easier than working on that project. It is not much different from a paid vacation.
For Brandy's personal desires, this mission also provided him with convenience. Before, he suffered from not having a suitable map and was always wandering around in this snow-capped mountain, but he just couldn't leave the snow-capped mountain. But now, he has
This map was so detailed that even the smallest contours were clearly marked. Following the correct route, he estimated that he would be able to reach the beautiful livestock town of Valentine at noon tomorrow.
"Valentine..." Brandy sighed softly. In this world, maybe he is the only one who can understand his special plot about that place.
The huge black horse neighed and galloped on the mountain roads that were sometimes rugged and sometimes gentle, but no matter what kind of road it was, the carriage was as smooth as the ground. This was not only due to the reliability of the horse, but also to the skill of the driver.
Brandi suddenly noticed that there was a strangely dressed man walking in the snow on the roadside not far ahead.
This man was wearing a black suit, a ridiculously high black top hat, and a very well-kept beard on his upper lip. He looked like an elegant gentleman, mixed with a bit of the unique temperament of a businessman.
.
This man is very strange, because the suit he is wearing has no ability to withstand the cold. If an average person wears such a suit and walks around in the snowy mountains, he will turn into a stiff corpse in less than an hour, and this man is obviously already in the snowy mountains.
He walked for a long time, but there was no sign of being affected by the cold from his appearance and behavior.
He also saw Brandy's carriage, so he stood there, as if he knew in advance that Brandy would drive by here. Brandy didn't want to stay longer, but because of the lingering feelings in his heart from the previous life, he wanted to stay there.
There seemed to be too much compassion in this world, as well as the extremely overflowing curiosity of human beings no matter what era. He finally stopped the carriage in front of this strange man.
"Hey! Sir, do you need help?" Brandy asked.
The strange man was not polite. After hearing these words, he climbed into the carriage and sat in the passenger seat without any consciousness of being a guest.
"Take me to Minnie's Men's Clothing Store." The strange man seemed to have taken a taxi.
"Where?" Brandi was a little confused.
"It's about 10 miles from here. Go straight ahead, climb over the mountain col in front, then turn left, and you'll see it." The strange man took the trouble to show Brandy the way.
Brandi regretted stopping the car, but now that things have reached this stage, it would be too rude to just kick people out of the car.
"Okay, I'm always at your service, sir." Brandi shook the reins, and the giant black horse neighed, carrying the two of them towards Minnie's Men's Clothing Store.
Brandi glanced at the strange man next to him curiously. For some reason, this man seemed to exude a certain aura, which made him involuntarily feel awe. But if two people were sitting in a carriage without talking about anything,
, the atmosphere would be a bit awkward. So, even though the man didn't seem to want to talk, Brandy decided to talk about something.
"What's your name, sir?" Brandy asked.
"A name is something that everyone has, but unfortunately, I forgot it. Maybe I never had a name at all, but I am sure that I did have one." The words of the mysterious man have an elusive temperament.
"Whether you believe it or not, I know you." The mysterious man continued.
"I don't think we've ever met, sir." Brandi became more and more confused.
"You're right, but I do know you," the mysterious man said, "but the strange thing is that I don't know your name, so can you tell me your name?"
"You know me, but you don't know my name? What's wrong with this guy?" Brandy felt like he was in a cloud, and his head was full of incomprehensible questions. But out of politeness, he replied: "Munny,
Brandi Munny.”
"Would you like to be called this name?" The mysterious man was still nagging, "Interesting last name, interesting name, but I don't think this will be your first name here, is it?"
Brandi's smile was slightly embarrassing: "You are joking, sir."
"Whether it's a joke or not, it's hard to say right now," the mysterious man said.
This topic seemed to have ended awkwardly. The atmosphere seemed to be even more awkward because of the conversation just now.
The rumble of carriages gradually merged into the din of the wind and snow, telling people traveling that another snowstorm was about to come.
"So, what do you do for a living?" Brandi now just wants to know more about the man around her, without him, because he is too inexplicable and mysterious.
"Making a living?" The mysterious man reacted for a while, as if he wanted to make a simple and clear conclusion about his work. Finally, he said, "I'm just a settler."
"Then you went to Minnie's Men's Clothing Store for business?"
"You can say that."
"Speaking of which, where is Minnie's Men's Clothing Store?"
"After Coulter Village was abandoned, it became the only grocery store and inn in this snow-capped mountain. However, only people who often cross the snow-capped mountains to go to Strawberry Town and Valentine know about it. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."
"Why such a weird name?"
"Do you think I know?"
"You seem to know a lot."
"Knowing a lot does not mean omniscience and omnipotence," the mysterious man seemed a little tired of such conversations, "I think you might as well concentrate on driving. It will be dark in an hour, and you don't want to drive in the wind and snow at night.
How about wandering around in the wild?"
Brandi shrugged, and it seemed that he didn't get any useful information after chatting. Now he regretted letting this man get in the car more and more, and he also had some doubts about his own initiative to help this man at that time.
The carriage gradually climbed up a mountain col. In the distance, a large wooden house could be seen, and there was a stable next to it. It was very tightly closed. There were many iron solders inserted from the stable to the wooden house, and the iron solders were connected to each other.
Obviously, the snowstorm some time ago also affected this place. These facilities should have been arranged step by step by those who came here early after placing the horses.
"I assume this is your destination, sir?" Brandi asked.
"I think it will be yours too," the mysterious man said. "It's getting late now, so I think you can rest here for the night."
"As long as you don't mind me interrupting your enjoyment." Brandy maintained a polite attitude.
The carriage stopped in front of the house. Minnie's Men's Clothing Store, that's its name. A grocery store and inn, why did it have such a weird name? Brandy couldn't figure it out. Maybe only the owner of this store can explain it.
Right? Maybe the mysterious man could, but Brandi was not in the mood to ask him any questions right now.
"You can place the carriage in that stable. Although there are already many horses there, this small carriage can still be accommodated." The mysterious man jumped out of the carriage and gave orders, but there was no condescension or arrogance in his words.
His temperament said, "I'll go into the house first. In a sense, my work has already begun. I don't want to delay."
Brandy actually resents this kind of attitude that is completely indifferent to people, because it is actually more hateful than being really domineering. But he knows that what this man said should be right. For some reason, he just has this attitude.
a feeling.
"Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say." After making a witty remark that was not funny, Brandi also jumped out of the carriage and began to busy setting up his horse and carriage.
As the mysterious man said, there are already many horses in the stable, all of which are draft horses such as Belgian draft horses and Shire horses. They obviously belong to one or several carriages. The draft horses are generally very large.
But when they met Brandy's jet-black Shire horse, they all looked like Arabian horses that were one size smaller than ordinary horses.
Brandi spent some effort to place the carriage. When he left the stable, the night wind and snow had already caught up with him. But he found that the door of the wooden house opposite was open.
When something went wrong, there must be a monster. Brandy immediately tried his best to rush towards the cabin as fast as he could.
Standing at the door of the cabin, Brandy was horrified by the sight that greeted her. This chapter has been completed!
