Chapter 9, Bounty Hunter Hanif

That may not necessarily be the case; there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that we will be placed under a bounty. As for how long we will be pursued and by how many people, that depends on how much we are worth.

A head wearing a hat emerged from the carriage, with a pipe dangling from its mouth and a mustache curling upward above the lips

Hanif chuckled softly, remaining silent as he took a puff from his pipe

However, your bridle..." The groom was just about to speak when he was interrupted by the mustached man

"Deal." The little mustached man gestured with the hand holding the gun towards the coachman. The coachman dismounted and brought out a worn-out saddle from the back, throwing it in front of him

Chen Jianqiu glanced into the carriage and saw a man with a face full of scars, one hand bound to the carriage while the other was handcuffed to Hanif. When the man noticed someone approaching, he attempted to lean his head toward the window, only to receive a harsh blow from Hanif to his face.

Please place the weapon behind the horse

"It's really damn dark." Chen Jianqiu said with a smile in Chinese to the little mustached man. The little mustached man responded with a smile as well

At this time, Sean also woke up. The three of them had some dry rations and, after finishing their water, continued on their journey

Twenty

Chen Jianqiu has now become accustomed to this unique way of greeting that is characteristic of the West

Three individuals advanced along the mountain path, traversing several peaks, and soon heard the sound of flowing water. They quickened their pace, galloping forward, and passed through a narrow pass, where the scenery suddenly opened up before them

How many people were killed

A certain unfortunate fellow who is taxing him

We traveled down through Henan, and we should have exited the borders of Wyoming, right?" Sean asked, "The state police shouldn't be concerned with us anymore, should they?

This river is a tributary of the Colorado River, located within a canyon, with lush coniferous forests lining both banks, contrasting sharply with the desolate scenery outside.

We are gold prospectors entering the mountains, and this Indian is our guide

They can manage their own little patch of land quite well. Chen Jianqiu replied

So how much is he worth

Sean raised his hands as if he had been electrocuted, with an expression of innocence

Hugh carried the bird and the Black man, while Chen Jianqiu rode a black horse without a saddle or reins

The three individuals dismounted and gradually approached the carriage

He raised his hands, simultaneously signaling the birds to also lower their weapons

Hi, don't mention it. At the previous intersection, this clumsy horse lost its footing, and the saddle rolled down completely. Fortunately, both the person and the horse are fine. Chen Jianqiu's nonsense came out effortlessly.

He turned his head and extended his hand towards Sean

Chen Jianqiu first counted out ten dollars from Sean's pocket, then took out a ten-dollar bill from his own clothing, stacked them together, and handed them to Hanif www.hetushu .com .com

"Otherwise, I'll just call you Black Radish," he leaned close to the black horse's ear, as if seeking its opinion. "Alright, it's settled then"

35 US dollars

"Not much, just had a friendly chat." Chen Jianqiu said with a smile, gently stroking the black horse's head, which didn't even dare to breathe.

"Um, how much do we need to pay?" Chen Jianqiu asked

Twenty-five

What do you do? The groom did not lower the weapon in his hand

Does that mean we are safe now

Ah, it only requires 45 US dollars

As the most seasoned bounty hunter in the region, how could he possibly fail to notice that there was something amiss with these three individuals? Moreover, he was well aware of the recent bounty notices in the surrounding town, and none of them mentioned these three people

Fifteen

The dark horse has gradually regained the pride it had yesterday. It is reluctant to walk alongside Huey, eager to pull ahead and create some distance, but is gently tugged by the mane by the rider on its back, instantly becoming obedient.

The three mounted on horses, and Hanif did not linger here either, as both sides departed in opposite directions

Boss, those three individuals are problematic; they are definitely not just simple prospectors. That black horse is not an ordinary horse; there is a high probability that it is stolen

Arrived at the Green River

Chen Jianqiu removed the shotgun from behind him, along with the revolver at his waist, and threw them to Feinia, hanging them behind Huey's back

Without a bounty, what does it have to do with oneself? It is more practical to sell a saddle. As for the price, it is indeed a bit high, but I have also provided a complimentary message: "There is danger ahead." This information has not been charged to them.

What crime has this person committed?" Chen Jianqiu asked while placing the saddle on the back of the black carrot

The dark horse may not have understood, but Sean did: "I think its name should be more formidable."

My name is Hanif, and I am a bounty hunter. The gun barrels in the compartment have been retracted. Forgive me for not being able to greet you, as my hand is locked together with this bastard.

The mountains along the way gradually rose higher, and the vegetation became increasingly lush.

Just as the two were engaged in a heated discussion, the bird suddenly spoke up

Chen Jianqiu maintained a calm demeanor: "Don't be nervous, they are coming from the south. Even if we issue the bounty now, it will still be in the northern towns"

The coachman turned around and lowered his head, reporting to the person in the carriage: "Boss, they are gold miners, one Black man, one Indian, and one Chinese man"

What did you do with it yesterday?" The bird was quite curious

"His ten dollars are in his pocket, the rest is in my clothes. Why don't you come and get it yourself?" Chen Jianqiu interrupted, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes

"This is the bounty hunter's carriage," the bird said softly to him. "Otherwise, let's get started; there is one coachman and at most two in the carriage."

Little Mustache Hanif sensed his displeasure and chuckled, "Brother, we mean no harm. When out and about, it is always wise to be cautious."

Hello, hello, that black man, raise your hands! The driver suddenly raised his gun, Let me see your hands, don't move, otherwise I will blow your head off with one shot

How would I know? I have never committed a crime

Chen Jianqiu ignored him and began to chat aimlessly with the birds

"Hey, brother, your horse is quite nice," said the little mustache, looking at the black radish behind Chen Jianqiu. "But why is there no saddle?"

... ...

Look at the car over there.

"Seventy-five dollars, regardless of life or death." Hanif raised an eyebrow, took a puff from his pipe, and said, "By the way, I should remind you that on our way here, we encountered several federal soldiers."

"Take it easy, buddy, we are just passing by, and we mean no harm," he shouted across to the other side

"It belongs to that bastard," he said bluntly, gesturing with his lips towards the man in the car

Thank you. There was no expression visible on Chen Jianqiu's face

"You bastard, behave yourself." Hanif shouted at the man covering his face, then turned to Chen Jianqiu, "I happen to have a ready-made saddle in my car, do you want it?"

Wishing you all the best in achieving your American Dream! Hanif happily stuffed the money into his pocket, and when he noticed the locked-up man's gaze fixed on the money, he turned around and slapped him again, "Your American Dream is about to come to an end, you bastard!"

The bird examined it carefully and shook its head, saying, "I don't quite understand."

By the way, take a look at this. Do you recognize what is on it? Chen Jianqiu took out the human skin he had hidden in his bosom; he did not inform Feinia about the treasure map.

What? How could I have twenty dollars? At most, I only have about ten dollars

"Wait, wait, brother, listen to me. The next town is at least a hundred kilometers away. Moreover, in this desolate wilderness, are you really not afraid of getting your backside bruised?"

Compared to state police, who is more dangerous, the bounty hunter or the state police

"Hey, you in front, please do not approach this vehicle!" The driver shouted loudly while drawing the gun from his waist, and a dark gun barrel also extended from the rear compartment.

Chen Jianqiu turned around and left

Ten US dollars

Murder, tax evasion

"Just give me ten dollars," said Chen Jianqiu, and Sean had no choice but to reach into his pocket for the money

A carriage approached, drawn by two horses, with the carriage resembling a large tin box, painted in dark green spray paint. The coachman also noticed the three people coming towards him.
