Chapter 38: Fear

hunt.

Denver is adjacent to Rocky Mountain. There are many species of animals such as grizzly bears, brown bears, reindeer, bighorn sheep, etc. on the Rocky Mountain. There are also rich targets for prey on the grasslands around it. In fact, because the guns in his hand are in such a suitable environment, many people in Denver have the habit of hunting, especially those cowboys. Occasionally, they will go to the mountains or go to the grassland to get a few animals back to exchange for some wine. In addition to these people, rich people are also the main force in hunting. So-called upper-class people like Charlotte often invite them together, and then gallop to the mountains or the grassland to show their abilities.

However, hunting at that time was just a pastime, a kind of social or entertainment act, but this time it was different.

After Spring summoned the remaining dozens of militias, Charlotte immediately led them to chase out of the city along the ruts of the carriage... and headed towards the Rocky Mountain.

It is said to be hunting, but this time, the mayor obviously intends to hunt the man!

"Will those Chinese have any preparations?" As the captain, Spring naturally followed closely behind the mayor. However, the closer to Rocky Mountain, Spring felt a little hesitant... Logically, although the Chinese rushed out of Denver under their heavy siege, they seemed very hurried and panicked from any perspective. This means that those Chinese should also be caught off guard by today's incident, and they are mostly lucky to be able to break out of Denver. However, Spring had a intuition that Charlotte's "hunting" this time may not have any results, and maybe they will suffer another loss. The Chinese still have hostages, right?

“How far is it?”

After leaving the city, he rode his horse for about twenty minutes. The corners of Rocky Mountain were gradually looking at it, and Charlotte suddenly stopped.

"We're about two to three miles away, and we're going into the mountain!" Spring looked at it and said.

"Did they really go in?" Charlotte glanced at the deep ruts on the ground and asked again.

"According to the marks of the car's withdrawal, they did enter Rocky Mountain, but..." Springton said, "The marks of these ruts are much deeper than when they first left the city!"

"In other words, they met other Chinese people on the road and then got together?" Charlotte asked.

"It's possible. However... we didn't find too many footprints. According to general inference, this means that their number will not be too large. All three carriages can be loaded. However, even if the carriages are full, even if more people are squeezed, the marks of the carriage withdrawal should not be so deep!" Spring dismounted, looked at the depth of the carriage withdrawal with his hands, and said with some concern.

"You mean, they might have a lot of people?" Charlotte asked.

"It's possible, but I'm not sure." Spring replied.

"... Then do you think there is any possibility that they will set up an ambush?" Charlotte squinted his eyes and looked up the mountain again. "For example, on both sides of the road entering the mountain, some gunmen were ambushed?"

"It's entirely possible, boss." Spring breathed a long sigh. If it were just ordinary, even if he was facing dozens of cowboys, he might not have inferred the other party's possible tactics so carefully. It is very likely that he would have rushed into the mountains with people, because the cowboys would only shoot each other with guns. As for the so-called tactics and tricks, few people would have used them. And the cowboys who often hold guns are like this, let alone Chinese... If it weren't for what they had today, it would have been Charlotte's turn to send people to chase the mountains long ago. However, although it took only half a day, he had fully experienced the methods of the Chinese. It can be said that the other party was very cunning and fierce. Since he ran into the mountains, he would have thought that someone would have chased them. With their intelligence, he would have thought about setting up ambush. When he thought about the ferocity of these people, those ambush might have been very cruel. After all, those people still seem to have a lot of explosives.

"Is there a way to go?" Charlotte was obviously a little worried. After hearing that his money had been snatched back by the cowboys, but he was "greedy" by these greedy guys, he was extremely angry and just wanted to kill people to relieve his hatred. But the cowboys had already run away, and these guys were all white people. Obviously, they could not kill them casually. Even if they really wanted to kill, they would not catch up now, so he spread the fire on the heads of the Chinese. However, along the way, his anger had dropped a little, and his mind was a little clearer... He could kill people, but he could not trap himself in it.

"There is a valley ahead... there is no other road nearby, unless you go around dozens of miles." Spring asked his subordinates and answered helplessly.

"Then send someone to scout and see if there are people on both sides of the valley!" Charlotte said impatience again.

"Boss..." Reconnaissance? Spring glanced at the subordinates around him and curled his lips secretly. These cowboys know what reconnaissance is? Not to mention smart people, even if they are sheep, these reckless guys may not be able to find it. Besides that, the more important thing is... who dares? This is a risk of his life.

"What else is there?" Charlotte asked again.

"I'm afraid that those Chinese... will kill people!" Spring hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"They have killed a lot of people..."

"But those guys who ran away... I mean those bastards who ran away with your money, they..." Springton gave a moment and breathed out: "To grab the money, I killed a lot of Chinese people."

"This is normal..." Charlotte didn't care at all, it was just a few Chinese people, and he probably wanted to kill more this time.

"You don't understand what I mean," Spring shook his head, "I've said a lot of them, not a few, not a dozen, but dozens... I heard the guy who was caught say that they almost killed all the Chinese they could see along the way, at least a large part of..."

"A large part?" Charlotte suddenly pulled the reins and turned his head in confusion, "A large part of you are talking about...a large part?"

"Yes, boss!" Spring nodded solemnly.

"How many? Twenty? Or thirty?" Charlotte frowned.

"That guy said he killed three of them himself, and there were twenty of them at that time..." Spring didn't say anything, but still looked at Charlotte with concern, believing that his boss could calculate the number.

"More than sixty..." Charlotte's breathing unnaturally aggravated a little.

"That's right. That's almost a massacre!" Spring nodded. More than sixty, or at least... Even if countless white people died, they were hated and rejected by Chinese people, this was still an extremely serious matter, quite serious.

Charlotte fell into silence. After losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, most of his property had been consumed, but dozens of Chinese people died... If it were in the past, even if he would have been surprised, he would definitely not care too much. The Chinese are just the targets of white people bullying. So what if they die? Can it be worth ten thousand dollars? At most, spend a thousand dollars to find some doctors to publicize and say that they are not hygienic and have to die from infectious diseases. But now it is different. Those Chinese have already shown a very fierce personality... dozens of lives are enough for the other party to go crazy!

“Are we going forward?”

After thinking for a while, Charlotte suddenly asked Spring again.

"...I'll listen to you!" Spring said.

"Do you think the Chinese have found their dead companions?" Charlotte asked again.

"I think they should have discovered it." The deeper rut may be evidence. Spring suddenly twitched in his heart... He just judged that the rut became deeper because the Chinese gathered together? God, how could the carriage hold so many living people? There is only one possibility, that is, the dead were piled up horizontally into the carriage... Sixty, and even more corpses were piled together... Spring suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his stomach.

"Will they take revenge?" Charlotte asked again.

"this……"

"I'm asking you!"

"I think it's very likely."
