Chapter 398 Pete's Bet

Jiang Hao and Bill headed west until the evening. The two found a leeward place to dismount and rest, and found some dry firewood to light a fire.

The climate in Texas is distinct from hot to cold. In summer, the hot temperature can reach more than 40 degrees, and in winter, there may be snowstorms. Now it is October, which is a relatively comfortable season of the year.

The two ate a simple supper of dried meat and bread, and sat by the fire drinking whiskey and chatting.

Bill looked at Jiang Hao and asked curiously: "Your marksmanship is excellent. You killed so many security guards by yourself. You are not like an ordinary farmer or herdsman. What did you do before?"

"Before? Forgot." Jiang Hao said.

Bill shrugged, "It's fine if you don't want to say it. In short, I think you are a person with a lot of stories. Also, what do you want me to be your subordinate? Do you have any goals?"

"Of course, my goal is to rob the entire west, and even the entire United States." Jiang Hao said bluntly.

Bill laughed, "Haha, I think so too, but unfortunately that's impossible."

"People always have some dreams, what if they come true." Jiang Hao shrugged.

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

The two set off again, and it was another day's journey. They finally arrived in the town of Levelland. The town is not big, only one street. It is estimated that there will not be more than three or four hundred people. There are many such towns in the west, and they have not passed through here yet. Development, although there are many immigrants pouring in, it is still very empty. The big cities are better, and there are indeed very few people in the small towns in the countryside.

As soon as he entered the town, Jiang Hao found a blacksmith shop on the side of the road. He had an idea in his mind and said to Bill: "Bill, go and find out if your partner Pete is in Levelland Town. I want to find a blacksmith to make some. thing."

Bill glanced at the blacksmith shop, "No problem, you're done here, how about our gathering at the tavern."

"no problem."

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

"What can you build here?" Jiang Hao asked, looking around.

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

"I want you to help me build a set of tools." Jiang Hao said.

"Is there a blueprint?"

"No, but I can draw now."

Jiang Hao asked the man for a pen and paper, and started to draw. The paper was covered with some strangely shaped little things. The man was watching beside him, but he couldn't figure out what these things were for. In fact, it was a lockpicking set. Tools, and finally Jiang Hao also marked the size.

The boss nodded after reading it, "No problem, it can be built", and didn't ask what the thing is for, this is the rule.

"How much?"

The boss thought for a while, "$10."

"When will I pick it up?"

"Tomorrow, after noon."

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

And at this moment in the Levelland Town tavern, Bill finally found his partner. Pete was very surprised to see Bill, and came up to give him a hug, "Hey buddy, why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to pursue love?"

Bill looked angry, "I was tricked by that bitch. This is a trap. That woman was bought by Sheriff Rex in Ellis Town. As soon as I passed by, I was surrounded by a dozen security guards. I was Captured and nearly hanged."

Pete was startled, "Then how did you escape?"

"Hehe, they didn't see you, so they just randomly picked up a guy on the road and dragged him back. They wanted to replace your name, and then hanged them together to share your bounty. Unfortunately, everyone lost their eyes. That guy is really a powerful guy. He led me out of the cell. We also carried out a robbery in Ellis Town. When we left, Sergeant Rex led people to catch up. There were more than a dozen people. The guy took the initiative to fight back , He even killed Sergeant Rex, and seven or eight security officers, and the rest ran away with their tails between their legs, hehehe, what a joy." Bill laughed loudly as he spoke.

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

The smile froze on Bill's face, "Oh, strictly speaking, I'm joining him now." Bill spread his hands helplessly.

"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 for this year, he is my boss. It's that simple." Bill said.

Before, Bill was a bit resistant to being someone else's subordinate, but after the robbery in Ellis Town and the attack on Sheriff Rex, he now agrees with Jiang Hao.

Pete frowned even tighter, "Bill, the two of us are partners, and now you're someone else's subordinate, what do you want me to do? I just hang out in this bar, drink every day, and sleep with a prostitute at night waiting for you." year?"

Bill shrugged helplessly, "Man, I don't want to, but I swear it in my grandmother's name, so I must fulfill this promise."

A ruthless look flashed in Pete's eyes, "Bill, why don't you kill him, then you won't have any damn vows, right?"

Bill was startled, and immediately said: "Peter, Jon Hall is a sharpshooter, don't mess around."

Sharpshooter!

These three words stimulated Pete. Pete is also a sharpshooter, and he is very proud of his marksmanship. "Since the other party is a sharpshooter, then I will play a game with him to see who is the real sharpshooter."

When Jiang Hao came to the tavern, he opened the door and saw Bill sitting in the corner. Sitting next to him was a man in his thirties, wearing a clean denim jacket with his collar turned up. He looked very energetic. Jiang Hao thought to himself It must be Pete.

"Hi, Hall, I 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 to Jiang Hao, although it was the first time we met, Jiang Hao felt that this guy named Pete looked at him Some are not good.

"Bill told me that you threatened him to agree to your terms and be your subordinate for a year." Pete squinted at Jiang Hao and said.

Is the first sentence a question, haha.

"I don't think it's a threat, an exchange of equal value. Do you think his life is not worth a year's work?" Jiang Hao said.

Pete couldn't refute, because it was indeed an exchange, "I heard from Bill that you are a sharpshooter, and I want to make a bet with you."
