Jiang Hao and Bill marched towards the west, until late in the evening, when the two of them found a leeward place to dismount and rest, and found some dry firewood to start a fire.

Texas has a hot and cold climate, with hot temperatures reaching more than 40 degrees in the summer and blizzards in the winter, and now it's October, which is still a relatively comfortable time of the year.

The two took out dried meat and bread for a simple dinner, and sat by the fire drinking whiskey and chatting.

Bill looked at Jiang Hao and asked curiously: "Your marksmanship is accurate, one person has killed so many security officers, it's not like an ordinary farmer or herdsman, what did you do before?" ”

"Before? Forgot. Jiang Hao said.

Bill shrugged, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, anyway, I think you're a person with a lot of stories, and also, you asked me to be your subordinate what you want to do, do you have any goals?" ”

"Of course, my goal is to rob the whole West, and even the whole of America." Jiang Hao said bluntly.

Bill smiled, "Haha, I want to too, but unfortunately that's impossible." ”

"People always have to have some dreams, in case they come true." Jiang Hao shrugged.

The next day, the two came to the town of Pollack, which was a little closer, and Bill walked around the town, but couldn't find Pete, "Maybe he's a little further west." ”

The two set off again, it was another day's journey, and finally arrived at the town of Livelyland, the town is not big, just one street, it is estimated that there will be no more than three or four hundred people, now there are many such towns in the west, and now it has not been developed, although there are many immigrants pouring in, but it is still very empty, the big cities are better, and there are indeed few people in the rural towns.

As soon as he entered the town, Jiang Hao found a blacksmith shop on the side of the road, and he had an idea in his head, and said to Bill: "Bill, you go and look around to see if your partner Pete is in Raffland Town, I want to find a blacksmith to build something." ”

Bill glanced at the blacksmith shop, "No problem, you're done here, how about we meet at the tavern." ”

"No problem."

Bill rode away, Jiang Hao dismounted, three horses obediently stood at the door of the blacksmith shop, Jiang Hao walked into the blacksmith shop, and saw a very rough middle-aged man, the man was smoking, saw Jiang Hao come in and asked, "What do you need?" ”

"What can you build here?" Jiang Hao looked around and asked.

"Farm tools, horseshoes, knives and some tools, depending on what you need." The rough man said.

"I want you to help me build a tool." Jiang Hao said.

"Are there any drawings?"

"No, but I can draw now."

Jiang Hao asked the man for a pen and paper, and began to draw, the paper was full of some strange small things, the man was watching from the side, but he couldn't see what these things were for, in fact, this was a set of lockpicking tools, and finally Jiang Hao also marked the size.

The boss nodded after reading it, "No problem, you can build it", didn't ask what the thing was for, this is the rule.

"How much?"

The owner thought for a moment, "$10." ”

"When am I coming to pick it up?"

"Tomorrow, after noon."

Jiang Hao didn't talk nonsense, put $5 on the table and left.

......

And at this moment at the Raffland Town Tavern, Bill finally found his partner, Pete was very surprised to see Bill, and came up to give him a hug, "Hey man, why are you here, didn't you say you were going to pursue love." ”

Bill looked angry, "I was deceived by that bitch, this was a trap, that woman was bribed by Sheriff Rex in Ellis Town, and as soon as I passed, I was surrounded by a dozen vigilantes, and I was captured and almost hanged." ”

Pete was shocked, "Then how did you escape?" ”

"Hehe, they didn't see you, so they picked up a guy on the road and pulled it back, wanting to replace your name, and then hanged together and shared the bounty that belonged to you, but unfortunately everyone was gone, that guy was really a great guy, took me out of the cell, and we also carried out a robbery in Ellis Town, when we left, Sheriff Rex led people to chase after him, there were more than a dozen people, that guy took the initiative to fight back, and actually killed Sheriff Rex, and seven or eight vigilantes, and the remaining few escaped with their tails between their legs, Hehehe, it's really painful. Bill laughed as he spoke.

"It's not easy to kill a dozen people by one person, Bill, such people should be absorbed, and we can do things in groups of three in the future." Pete said.

Bill had a stiff smile on his face, "Oh, technically, now I'm joining him. Bill helplessly stalled his hands.

"What do you mean?" Pete frowned.

"To put it simply, the condition for him to save me is to be his subordinate for one year, at least this year, he is my boss, it's that simple." Bill Road.

Bill was still a little resistant to becoming someone else's subordinate before, but after the robbery and assault on Sheriff Rex in Ellis Town, he now agrees with Jiang Hao.

Pete's brows furrowed even tighter, "Bill, the two of us are partners, you are now someone else's subordinate, what do you want me to do, just nest in this bar, drink during the day, sleep with a prostitute at night, and wait for you for a year?" ”

Bill shrugged helplessly, "Man, I don't want to, but I swear in my grandmother's name, so I have to keep this promise." ”

Pete's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, "Bill, it's better to kill him, then there won't be any damn oaths, right." ”

Bill was taken aback and immediately said, "Pete, Jon Hale is a sharpshooter, don't mess around." ”

Sharpshooter!

These three words stimulated Pete, who is also a sharpshooter and is very conceited about his marksmanship, "Since the other party is a sharpshooter, then I will have a gamble with him to see who is the real sharpshooter." ”

Jiang Hao came to the tavern, pushed open the door and saw Bill sitting in the corner, next to him sat a man in his thirties, wearing a clean denim suit, with his collar standing up, looking very energetic, Jiang Hao thought to himself that this should be Pete.

"Hi Hall, I've found my companion Pete." Bill stood up and greeted.

Jiang Hao walked over, Pete also stood up and looked at Jiang Hao carefully, Jiang Hao nodded slightly as a greeting, Pete also nodded at Jiang Hao, although it was the first time they met, Jiang Hao felt that this guy named Pete looked at him a little unkindly.

"Bill told me that you were going to blackmail him into agreeing to your terms and being your subordinate for a year." Pete squinted at Jiang Hao and said.

The first sentence is to question, hehe.

"I don't think it's a coercion, an equivalent exchange, do you think his life is not worth a year's work." Jiang Hao said.

Pete couldn't argue because it was a swap, "I heard Bill say you're a sharpshooter and I want to make a bet with you." ”
