Chapter 32 Tracking
The pub is only a few dozen meters away from Browning's gun shop.
However, Sean scolded him all the way, and the content was nothing more than that the unshaven man was ungrateful and so on.
He said he saved a dog and even waggled his tail to thank him, but the man ran away without even farting, and even handed him a bottle of wine. The bartender also had a brain problem, so he just kept the accounts after he was told to do so.
Chen Jianqiu strolled around, turning a deaf ear to Sean's complaints.
The three of them walked into the gun shop. The clerk was standing at the front desk greeting customers, and a fur trader was looking at the goods on the shelves.
When the waiter saw the three people, he greeted them warmly.
"The boss is in the studio behind."
Chen Jianqiu walked through the inner room and opened a curtain.
The room looked messy, surrounded by wooden shelves with various parts and gun blanks stacked on them. Next to the window was a large and wide workbench. Browning was standing on
In front of the workbench, he held a gun in his hand and was debugging it.
Seeing Chen Jianqiu coming in, he handed over the gun in his hand.
Chen Jianqiu looked at the gun in his hand. The dark barrel, trigger and hammer were all perfectly crafted and extremely delicate. The walnut wood handguard and stock were engraved with a "" in cursive English.
"I changed some details, corrected the rifling, and also adjusted the length of the barrel. I used deer hunting bullets directly, including the loaded ones, a total of six rounds." Browning said, "Do you want to try it?"
He took Chen Jianqiu to the backyard.
There is a tree in the center of the yard, and a venison steak hangs on it.
Chen Jianqiu raised his gun and fired three shots at the meat. For a moment, the meat flew everywhere, and soon there were several big holes in the meat steak until it was completely mutilated.
Pump-action shotgun, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has used it and said it is good.
"I put the pistol and the holster on the counter in front of me. You can ask the clerk to get it. If you want the other bullets, you can take as many as you want."
Chen Jianqiu put the shotgun into his holster, thanked him, and then suddenly remembered something and asked: "Browning, there is an archaeologist in Denver, have you heard of Lockhart?"
Browning recalled it, shook his head, but quickly added: "I don't know him, but I heard from the guy yesterday that an archaeological researcher came to town two days ago. Do you want to go to the tavern and ask.
"
The tavern is probably the place with the most news and the fastest news in a town. The bartender in the tavern knows everything and vividly describes the person's appearance and whereabouts to the financial sponsor in front of him.
"He actually lives in the room next to yours. He also went out after you left in the morning. He also went out with an entourage. It is said that he discovered a cave in the nearby mountains to the north a few years ago. There were murals on the walls of the cave, but last time
I didn’t bring my camera when I came here, so I came here to take some photos this time.”
The boy glanced at his pocket watch.
"At this point, he and his entourage should have just entered the mountain not long ago."
Looking at the bartender's expectant eyes, Chen Jianqiu dropped another 20 cents on the table. In his opinion, the news was worth the price.
The bartender took the money and was overjoyed. He lowered his voice and said to Chen Jianqiu mysteriously: "But I don't recommend that you go to that forest. There has been something wrong there in the past few years. Someone from the town has gone in, and there has never been anything like it again."
I came out. It is said that there is a devil inside."
"Then why didn't you stop the archaeologist?" Chen Jianqiu frowned.
"He doesn't quite believe it."
Chen Jianqiu is not afraid of devils or anything like that. In terms of imagination, this country with only a hundred years of history is far worse than the place where he grew up.
The three people got on their horses and left the town. Compared with when they entered the town yesterday, they were stronger and more prepared.
But they soon encountered a problem.
"Boss, this mountain is so big, where are we going to find that person?" Sean looked at the forked roads in the forest, at a loss.
"Aren't we flying birds here?" Chen Jianqiu said with a smile, "Our horses are fast, we should be able to catch up soon."
Birds are natural hunters, and they are good at judging the direction of travel based on the traces of animals or people.
He observed the traces on the road, and then pointed to one of the roads: "This way."
After continuing for a while, the traces on the road disappeared.
Asuka dismounted, sniffed and walked into a forest beside the road.
There was no road in the forest, but the marks of horse hooves on the ground were revealed. Under a tree, they found a pile of fresh horse dung.
"He should have just passed by here not long ago." Feiniao made a judgment.
The Colorado forest in summer is much more approachable than in winter. You don't have to step on more than one meter of snow and walk slowly through the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
In addition to paying attention to whether there is a hunter's trap under their feet, at other times, they can just focus on the direction they are going.
Soon, they discovered something special.
Not far from them, there was a camp in a clearing in the forest.
Chen Jianqiu dismounted and drew the shotgun from his horse.
"You guys wait for me here while I go over there to take a look." Chen Jianqiu stuffed the large deer hunting bullets into his gun and approached the camp alone.
This is a very small camping site with only three dilapidated single tents.
Chen Jianqiu slowly approached the camp.
There was no one in the camp, and the bonfire in the middle had been stamped out. Chen Jianqiu used his boots to dig under the fire and found that the fire had just been extinguished.
Suddenly, he noticed something strange in the two tents, and he also smelled a strong smell of blood.
Chen Jianqiu tightened his grip on the gun in his hand.
He slowly approached one of them, preparing to use the tip of his gun to open the curtain of the tent.
Then, he saw an extremely ugly face.
Just hearing an inhuman howl of "ouch", the owner of that face rushed out of the tent, holding a steel knife and slashing at Chen Jianqiu.
Almost at the same time, a man jumped out of the tent behind Chen Jianqiu, holding a sharp ax high in his hand, and rushed towards his back.
"boom"
The gun in Chen Jianqiu's hand rang out, and the extremely ugly man was so close that he was almost completely blown away. Half of his body was covered in flesh and blood, and he fell to the ground twitching.
At the same time, Chen Jianqiu rolled to the left, and the man behind him missed his axe, and the inertia of the ax made him stagger.
Chen Jianqiu stood up, kicked the man in front of him to the ground, pulled back the handguard with his left hand to load the bullet, and aimed at the man with one shot.
The world has returned to peace.
Hearing gunshots, Sean and Feiniao rushed over. What they saw were two bodies lying on the ground.
The upper bodies of the two corpses were not even covered with hair. Although they were broken, their appearance could still be vaguely recognized.
Moreover, both of them look quite amazing.
If some people are ugly because God cut corners when creating humans, then these two people are just pure pranks on God and Him.
Strange shapes.
"The traces of the archaeologist and his entourage stopped here, and the rest are the traces of other unknown people, which are messy." Asuka said.
"Isn't this unfortunate guy already dead?" Sean muttered.
"I'm not sure about that."
It was Chen Jianqiu who answered him. At this time, he had already opened the curtain of one of the tents. Inside the tent was a wooden stick stuck on the ground.
