If there is anyone in the entire tribe who welcomes Kazuyo Kuyama's arrival the most, it is undoubtedly the children. Kazuyo Kuyama's cold expression cannot scare away the children. They seem to have the power to read people's hearts and know who is interested in them.
The most harmless.
The most important thing is that the cooking skills that Sorayama Kazuyo developed in the previous world are beyond their imagination, whether it is grilled fish slowly seared over a low fire until it becomes fragrant, or the meat is stuffed in the soil and filled with fresh and sweet gravy.
The pheasant, especially the skewers made with wild onions, wild ginger and some wild fruits, mixed with meat and grilled, has a fatal temptation for children who are at a greedy age.
The most important thing is that he will always give out most of the food to the children who are watching. Even if they reach out to him most of the time, Kazuo Sorayama will also give them some snacks such as roasted crispy pine nuts, hazelnuts, and ginkgo nuts from time to time.
.
A chubby little Indian girl bit her fingers and looked at the rabbit meat that Sorayama Kazuyo was concentrating on roasting. Her saliva kept flowing from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of desire for food.
Sorayama Kazuyo pulled off a fat rabbit leg and blew it gently with his mouth for a moment before handing it to the little girl.
He knew this child. The little girl was the timidest of all the children in the tribe. Every time someone asked her for food, she always bit her fingers and drooled, but she just didn't dare to come forward. The food Ichiyo Sora was definitely not enough.
It was distributed to all the children, but with his cold personality, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to carry out the so-called fair distribution. Unexpectedly, making dried meat for going out overnight attracted this little guy.
The little girl fumbled for a while, then took out an already cool baked potato from the leather bag tied to her belly. She first put the potato into Kazuyo Sorayama's hand, then carefully took the rabbit leg, and took another sneak peek.
Ichiyo Sorayama, who was still concentrating on the barbecue, opened his small mouth and started to gnaw at the barbecue in his hand.
A fat rabbit leg stretched the little girl until she burped. After eating, she did not leave, but continued to squat by the campfire and look at the leaves in the empty mountain. After a while, the little girl started to doze off.
When the girl saw that Sorayama Kazuha still had no reaction, she boldly pointed at the potato that Sorayama Kazuha put beside the fire, and said something crisply in her mouth.
Ichiyo Sorayama knew what she meant without having to guess. He picked up the potato and peeled it off, swallowed it in his mouth three times, and forced a smile at the little girl.
The little girl happily danced a short dance around the bonfire, performing a unique etiquette for Sorayama Kazuyo, and then reluctantly left.
Kazuyo Sorayama rubbed his stomach, which was stung by the cold potatoes, and shook his head with a wry smile. If he continues like this, he may become the child king of the tribe. No matter how alienated he is from this world, he has to admit that for a long time,
Staying in such a friendly and leisurely environment will indeed make people feel nostalgic... We must seize the time to start planning...
The next morning, Ichiyo Kongshan found Chief Kettle, borrowed a horse from him, and drove into the wilderness alone.
According to the brainless American sergeant, as long as you disguise yourself as a businessman and travel along the trade road, you will have a high chance of encountering robbers. "Every year, loners who don't know where to go are shot and killed on this road."
Kazuyo Sorayama still remembered the provocative, mocking and somewhat amusing look that the sergeant looked at him when he said this.
Kazuyo Sorayama is not afraid of being shot in the dark. With his current ability, as long as he is targeted by someone with a gun, he will not be able to escape his perception and drag on that inexplicable blessing. Kazuyo Sorayama even has the feeling of "even if there is someone on the other side of the earth."
The illusion that he will be noticed even if you lock him.
In order to be more like a businessman, Kazuyo Sorayama specially wrapped a large bundle of hay in a piece of clean cloth and placed it on both sides of the horse's back. He was very well prepared this time and had no intention of returning empty-handed!
It is said to be a trade road, but in fact it is just a slightly flat ground between the Gobi Desert. Large and small strange rocks and hills are easy to ambush. It can be said to be a natural hunting ground for robbers.
At this time, just three years had passed since the Civil War. The northern states on the winning side were relatively stable. However, there were still a large number of dissatisfied states in the south that did not fully obey the federal government. Among them, Texas was the most important. As a country rich in cowboys,
, Texas, with its strong folk customs and bordering Mexico, can be said to be a paradise for bandits, bounty hunters, deserters, wanted criminals, adventurers... in this era. The state government is busy wrangling with the federal government.
The mind governs the place.
What's more, this place is vast and sparsely populated. If you go into any wilderness, even if you send out regular troops, it will be useless. If you are cornered, you will go directly to Mexico, spend all your money, and then come back to make a big deal. This has become a norm.
.
However, this is the style of the "listed" robbers, while those who work alone most of the time act as liars, thieves, and intelligence dealers in the town. Occasionally, they are forced by life to work part-time as robbers.
The targets of robbery are also small traders who cannot afford to hire bodyguards or travelers who are busy on their way.
Tu Ke is such a lay person.
At this time, in addition to still having enough bullets in his body, the last piece of bread had been completely digested by the powerful stomach function last night. If a deal cannot be made today, what awaits him will be sleeping in the wilderness - and
Together, his horses lived on wild plants and fruits.
He made the sign of the cross randomly on his chest. Although he didn't even believe in God, he still prayed to his old man to show kindness occasionally and allow him to rob a ticket. Then he returned to the hotel comfortably and took a hot bath.
Put the green dollar bills that exuded the scent of ink into Lucy's breast hooks and let her pay for herself for a few nights.
Just like this, a leaf in the empty mountain appeared in Tu Ke's sight. The single person and horse, as well as the huge package on the horse's back, proved that this was a once-in-a-lifetime big fat sheep! Tu Ke jumped up and spat out the branch that smelled bitter in his mouth.
, hiding behind a huge rock and looking carefully.
Before every robbery, the target of the robbery must be carefully analyzed. This is the biggest guarantee that Tu Ke is still living well in the world.
Of course, soldiers cannot rob, not to mention the consequences, and he himself is not necessarily the opponent; priests certainly cannot rob, this has nothing to do with his beliefs, but robbing priests is too evil, and all churches are a bunch of dead people.
Brains, whether they are Mormons, Catholics or Protestants, cannot be messed with, otherwise they will be traced to the end; government officials cannot be robbed, because there is no guarantee that these people have any background behind them. Once they mess with someone they cannot afford to mess with,
, it means that a disaster is imminent; in this way, there are not many targets that can be robbed, plus there are countless competitors along the way...
Being able to meet such a high-quality customer here, he couldn't help but make a cross again and kissed the silver-plated cross pendant around his neck - God loves Tuco the most!
As a habitual gangster, Tu Ke did not fire his gun rashly. It was a joke to hit a moving target a hundred paces away with a pistol. Once the gun went off but the target was not knocked off his horse, it would be a serious matter.
He followed him from a distance and waited until the fat sheep dismounted to rest before suddenly rushing out. Our kind-hearted Tu Ke was generally not willing to rob the other party with the purpose of killing him. On the contrary, he would even give him a hand every time.
The other party left some food to prevent the other party from starving to death in the desert.
His consistent style once again saved his life - Kazuyo Sorayama had already noticed that this sneaky guy was following him. After learning that the other party had no immediate intention to shoot, he simply dismounted and found a shady big area.
Rock, take out the water bag, drink water and rest.
Just as Kazuyo Sorayama expected, in less than half a quarter of an hour, Tuko suddenly rushed out from behind the rock, raised his revolver and shouted: "Friend, please raise your hands and put them where I can see,
I don't mean any harm, I just want to make friends with you."
Kazuyo Sorayama glanced at him lightly, without making any move, and continued to drink water.
Tu Ke was stunned. Is this person a fool? Can't he recognize the current form? Or can't he understand the human language? When he carefully observed Sorayama Kazuyo's appearance, which was very different from that of white people, he immediately understood: It turned out to be a yellow race.
But that group of people were either building railways or opening restaurants. When did they start doing business? Maybe the other party really didn't understand?
He raised his gun and fired two "bang bang" shots into the sky, and then pointed the gun at Kazuye Sora. Regardless of whether the other party could understand, he continued: "As friends, we should help each other. Poor Butch has not eaten for a day."
Things have been passed, now please leave your money, jewelry, horses and goods to help Butch fill his stomach."
Listening to the serious nonsense of the robber, Kazuyo Sorayama felt a little amused and said hoarsely: "You are right, friends should help each other. Now please leave your money, jewelry, horses and goods.
Just do me a favor."
Compared with Tuko, who exudes a wretched little gangster temperament, Kazuyo Sorayama, who has a hoarse voice, gray temples, a tall figure and a rather serious look, looks like a real gangster.
Dude, you can kill countless people with just one sentence.
Hearing Sorayama Kazuyo's response, Tuko suddenly became furious. He still had a smile on his face, but his mouth twisted into a "W" shape ferociously. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You're making me angry."
Poor Butch, take off your clothes and leave. Kind Butch will leave you a pair of underwear. I only count to three! Otherwise your friend Butch will treat you with a hot gun. One, two
…”
Kazuyo Sorayama just looked at him quietly, and Tuko could even see from the other person's eyes that the other person seemed to regard him as a clown performing a show!
"Three!" Just when Tu Ke was about to kill this ignorant fool with one shot, the person in front of him suddenly disappeared! There was only the whistling wind in the wasteland, and there was no ghost anywhere!
Tu Ke had beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead, all of which were cold sweat. He once heard someone say that if you travel a lot at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts, but now the sun is still high in the sky, could you encounter ghosts in broad daylight?
?
No! He saw the horse still looking for tender grass in the shade, and knew that this was not a ghost. The experienced Tu Ke did not turn around, but fell forward violently, turning over in the process of falling to the ground, and the edge of his left hand
In the blink of an eye, he pulled the hammer three times, and at the same time, his right index finger cooperated with the hammer to pull the trigger three times. Before his body even touched the ground, three bullets were fired from the muzzle. The whole process took less than a second.
This is a life-saving skill that Tu Ke has mastered throughout the Western Region! He has defeated countless self-righteous gunmen with this trick.
But... there was no one! Tu who fell to the ground was really panicked. It was not surprising whether he was shot or hit his opponent at this time, but it should not have been this result anyway.
He refused to accept his fate and fired the last shot behind him. The bullet made a crisp sound when it hit the rock. He knew that it had not hit the target without looking.
Tu Ke sat on the ground, dropped his empty gun, lowered his head, and said in a low tone: "Okay, friend, you win. Actually, my name is not Butch, and I am not a robber. I am just a passerby. Look.
When you were alone, you couldn't help but want to make some extra money. As a friend, you can take away all my things, but I still have several hungry children at home. Without me, they will starve to death..."
"Only your first sentence is true, but you can try to say more and see if I can guess the lies." Kazuyo Sorayama's hoarse voice came from his side, making Tuco shudder.
, quickly turned his head and looked over.
I saw that the other party still had the same expression as watching a clown's performance. Tuko said nothing, or he really didn't know what to say. In his eyes, Kazuyo Sorayama was quite abnormal. He was neither like his peers nor the
For anyone he has known well in the past, it is best not to speak at this time in order to avoid irritating the other person.
"Drop everything you have on you."
Hearing Kazuyo Sorayama say this, Tuko took off his belt full of bullets with a grimace, and pushed it together with the pistol in front of Kazuyo Sorayama.
"That's all. The pendant and ring are both silver-plated and worth at most two dollars." Tu Ke spread his hands and shook his trouser legs to show that he didn't hide anything.
"You are so poor!" Ichiyo Sorayama sighed slightly, and then pointed to a big rock a hundred steps away: "Move the horse over here, and then you can leave."
Tu Ke nodded in agreement with a more sad expression, but he was really happy in his heart, thinking that when I got there, I got on my horse and ran away, how could you still stop me?
Kazuyo Sorayama picked up the revolver and pulled out a bullet from his belt on the ground. He shook off the rotating chamber and at the same time flicked the bullet he held into the bullet nest. With a flick of his left hand, driven by the ratchet, the bullet in the chamber
After a few smooth turns, it made a clear sound of returning to position, and then fired a shot dozens of steps away.
The bullet grazed Tuko's ear and flew out, causing Tuko to come back to his senses as he was surprised by Kazuyo Sorayama's dazzling movements.
To be honest, if all the steps were done separately, he could barely do it. As a person who has been handling guns since he could walk, these are basic skills, but he could do all the actions in such a short time with ease.
, and it can really shoot the only bullet. If it wasn't luck, it would be very scary.
"While you're leading the horse, help me carry that bird over." Kazuyo Sorayama pointed at a three-meter-tall cactus in the distance with the barrel of his gun. Obviously, his shot just now was not only a warning to this guy who was full of lies.
, and other practical functions, today’s dinner is complete.
Tu Ke took a look at the distance and sighed resignedly. With this kind of shooting... no wonder he wasn't afraid of him sneaking away. He held the horse in one hand and a big bird with its head smashed in the other and walked over dejectedly.
"Okay, you can go." Kazuyo Sorayama waved his hand. Seeing the empty horses except for their harness, he couldn't help but ask, "Are all the robbers as poor as you?"
If this was the case, he would have to rob, no, confiscate how much ill-gotten wealth he had to collect to pay for travel expenses and ship tickets!
The picture shows that Kazuyo Sorayama had no intention of killing him, and regained some of his nature. He complained: "Friend, it seems you don't understand this business. Really rich robbers will not rob for a long time. They usually
Don't go robbing until you spend your last coin. I'm sure all the robbers you meet are as poor as me. Those robbers with bounties on their heads are either robbing banks or blocking trains. Who would try their luck in such a ghost place?
."
It was clear to Sora Ichiyo that it should be the case. He frowned and thought, otherwise he would really do a bounty hunter business? Otherwise, according to the prices he knew, the gun and horse together could be exchanged for at most one
One hundred U.S. dollars, and a villain with a reward of two thousand U.S. dollars is equivalent to twenty "anti-robbery" activities. You must know that three full days have passed since he set out from the Cheyenne tribe and met the poor thief in front of him.
But the problem is that most of the robbers with bounties on their heads are not because of how powerful they are, but because they are hidden deep enough. Otherwise, they would not be wanted by the whole state and still be able to roam freely. Let him find it by himself, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Tu Ke, who was still chattering.
"Friend, you are lucky to meet me. This gun of mine uses a Remington barrel, a Colt cartridge and a Gaseline body. It is a super good gun. I dare say that the entire West is also
There is no better gun than this one, and I wouldn’t even be willing to sell it if someone offered me $50..."
"Okay." Kazuyo Sorayama interrupted: "Do you know if there are any valuable thieves nearby, at least two thousand dollars?"
Tu Ke was taken aback. Aren't you satisfied with robbing me? Wait, is it possible that he is here on purpose waiting for someone to come to deliver money? He carefully considered all the unusual things. For example, the person in front of him could easily escape from him.
He was following, but he had to stop; for example, with this person's skills, it would be enough to rob some small banks, why not go and earn the bounty...
"Damn God! After missing this time, I have to do some illegal activities again. At least I need to get guns and horses. It seems that I have to add one more crime to my wanted list, but luckily there is no reward yet, otherwise
Being targeted by someone like this..." Tu Ke couldn't help but shuddered again as he thought about this horrific outcome.
