"Good job, guys, those bastards got away."
Brandy looked at the backs of the remaining members of the Austrian gang who fled without pursuing them. While praising them loudly, he put the semi-automatic shotgun back on his shoulders.
From the beginning of the war to the defeat of the O'Drisco gang, it took less than ten minutes. For a murderous criminal like Micah, this level of fighting was not even enough to mobilize the adrenaline in his body, but for Brandi It was enough for him to test the performance of the newly acquired weapons, which was exactly what he wanted. In order to achieve this goal, he deliberately did not enter the eye of death state in the battle just now, but simply used the machine sight. Otherwise, , the O'Driscos who are currently escaping don't even have a chance to survive.
Overall, the new weapons are very much to Brandi's liking.
Although the single-shot power of the Mauser pistol is slightly inferior to that of a general single-action revolver, its continuous rate of fire, which is much higher than that of a revolver, its ammunition capacity of up to 10 rounds, and its structure that is more stable and efficient than a revolver are enough to make up for it. A slight disadvantage in terms of power.
Although Brandy has become accustomed to using revolvers, so that when using Mauser pistols, he is not so comfortable due to various subjective reasons. However, Brandy believes that this problem will be solved when he becomes familiar with them in the future. Naturally, it was solved.
If possible, Brandi would also like to replace the two Mauser pistols with a high-capacity 20-round rapid-fire model commonly known as "twenty-shot". As for the reason, compared with the rapid-fire Mauser pistol itself For practicality, Brandi is more for sentiment.
This kind of sentiment is actually similar to the sentiment attached to the revolver. Americans all understand the sentiment of the revolver, but in this era, perhaps only Brandi understands the sentiment of the Mauser pistol.
As for the Browning Auto-5 shotgun, which is simply called a semi-automatic shotgun, Brandi is even more satisfied.
As the first mass-produced self-loading shotgun in history, it naturally has its advantages to be able to remain active on the historical stage for nearly a century.
As far as Brandy's personal feeling is concerned, compared with other shotguns, this gun has smaller recoil, faster firing rate, and faster loading speed. It can be said that in terms of practical significance, this gun represents the current situation. The cutting-edge shotguns currently have no so-called shortcomings. Brandy has a hunch that this gun will stay with him for a long time.
While Brandi was thinking briefly, Micah and Lenny also gathered over. Micah had already lit a cigarette at this time. He glanced at the direction in which the remnants of the Austrian gang were fleeing, smiled contemptuously, and said, "A bunch of losers who only know how to wait for death and escape."
"What now?" Lenny knew very well that things were not over yet.
Brandi pondered for a while and said: "The troops are divided into three groups. Lenny, you go find where they stack the goods. Micah, you collect the loot here and take everything you can. I'll go look for it." Mattie, she must still be locked up here somewhere."
Perhaps because they have worked with Brandy for a long time, the two have become very convinced of his leadership ability. Perhaps the two have gradually become accustomed to it subconsciously. When Dutch is not present and Brandy is present, Brandy takes the lead in making plans. Even Micah did not object to Brandy's "order" in the situation of dominance. After all, this arrangement was reasonable and in line with his wishes.
So, after deciding on the next move, Lenny ran away to find where the goods were stored, while Micah found a body nearby and started searching, while Brandi walked leisurely and thought. .
"From what the fat man said before, I think his original intention was to use Mattie to exchange the previously recovered goods with me. In this case, according to the general rules, Mattie at least will not be tortured like that time at Downs Ranch, then , there is only one place in this ranch where she can be kept without torturing her."
Thinking of this, Brandi moved his eyes to the exquisite two-story building and determined the target.
Pushing open the door silently, Brandi subconsciously took out a Mauser pistol from his waist. He didn't stay long on the first floor, because the layout of the living room and dining room on the first floor was very simple. He just glanced at it and knew that there was nothing here.
It would be the place where Mattie was imprisoned, so he tiptoed to the stairs leading to the second floor. Stepping on the steps, the slightly aged wooden stairs made a creaking sound.
Suddenly there was a shout from upstairs.
"I'm here!" was Mattie's voice.
"It's just as I expected." Brandi heard Mattie's voice and guessed that since Mattie could make a sound, she shouldn't have been held hostage. So she no longer hesitated, put the pistol back on her waist, and took three steps in two steps. He ran up to the second floor.
Arriving on the second floor, Brandy immediately saw Mattie, who was chained to the bed rail with iron handcuffs and kneeling on the ground. But the next second, he noticed that Mattie was being raped by a scar-faced man. Holding him hostage, he firmly held the back of Mattie's neck with one hand, and in the other hand, the shining barrel of the revolver was pressed against her temple.
"Don't come here!" the scar-faced man shouted, his voice trembling slightly, "If you take one step forward, I will kill this little girl with one shot!"
"Oh, don't get excited, friend," Brandi raised her hands to try to calm the scar-faced man's emotions, and slowly walked towards the scar-faced man and Mattie, "your partner can't care about you now. , there’s no point in resisting anymore, how about you return this child to me, and I’ll let you live?”
"Don't come here!" The scar-faced man turned his gun and suddenly fired a shot. The bullet hit the floor only a few centimeters away from Brandy's feet. Sawdust flew into the air, and Brandy was forced to stop.
"Okay, okay, I won't come," Brandy reassured, "But there's no reason for you not to accept my conditions, is there?"
"I don't care what you want to do, as long as you dare to take a step closer or reach out for a gun, I will kill this girl immediately!" The scar-faced man turned a deaf ear to Brandy's words, and just roared, pressing the barrel of the gun against Ma The temples of the pedicle.
"Are you insane? Could it be that we were frightened by our devastating record just now?" Brandy thought of this, feeling a little annoyed. "Damn it, I wasn't cautious enough. If I had known better, I wouldn't have put the gun away when I went upstairs. The gun is adjusted to the firing state. In the current situation, even if I hold a more convenient revolver, there is no guarantee that I can blow his head before he pulls the trigger. For the current plan, I can only stabilize him first. , wait until he calms down... eh, shit?"
Before Brandy finished her calculations, an unexpected situation appeared in front of her eyes. The scar-faced man suddenly screamed in pain, clutching his side and leaning to the side, while Mattie's side was not locked. His little hand was holding a dagger stained with blood.
Brandi was just stunned for a short time, and then she understood the reason. It turned out that it was Maddie who took advantage of the scar-faced man to devote all his attention to Brandy, and secretly took the scar-faced man's dagger with her free hand. He pulled it out, and then stabbed to the side based on his feeling, which resulted in the current situation.
"This little girl, after being held hostage, was able to actively think of ways to break the situation and put it into practice. It's really..." Brandy was amazed at first, and then looked at the bleeding wound of the scar-faced man, and couldn't help but slap her teeth. He shuddered, "This knife is surprisingly accurate. It happens to be where the kidneys are. This girl is really talented in her waist. Tsk, it hurts just to look at it."
The scar-faced man couldn't help but cry out in pain from this kidney blow. However, this blow did not calm him down, but instead aroused his ferocity.
"Damn little bastard, I'll let you die now!" He roared, struggling to hold himself up, and was about to raise his gun hand.
A short gunshot sounded, and a black hole appeared between the eyebrows of the scar-faced man. His movements suddenly froze, and then he fell softly on the bed, and the stab wound on his body was still there. He was bleeding, staining the sheets beneath him blood red.
Brandy put the Mauser pistol back into her waist and looked at Mattie, only to see that Mattie had climbed onto the scarred man's body and was groping for something. After a while, she took out a dirty gun from the scarred man's body. key.
With a click, the handcuffs were opened. Mattie rubbed her wrists, which had been locked in iron cuffs for nearly a day, while looking at Brandy with a pair of blue eyes.
"Tsk, it looks like you can get out of trouble on your own even if I don't come." Brandy felt like she was a little redundant.
Mattie smiled playfully and said:
"If you hadn't come, this guy wouldn't have come over and kidnapped me, and I wouldn't have had the chance to fight back."
"Yeah, they really made a mistake in not locking both of your hands," Brandy nodded with deep understanding, "Let's go, your brother Lenny and Uncle Micah are also down there, let's go find them. .”
Mattie jumped out of bed, perhaps because she had already had the experience of killing people. All her behaviors were as normal as usual, but this was actually the most abnormal thing. If Brandy didn't know what she had experienced, I'm afraid everyone will think that this child is not afraid of blood, killing and death by nature.
"We agreed in advance," Mattie raised the bloody dagger in her hand and shook it, "it belongs to me, this is my trophy."
Brandi smiled helplessly, took two steps forward, touched Mattie's little head, and said, "Okay, you performed well this time, and you are allowed to keep this trophy."
Mattie smiled happily. Now she seemed to have a different preference for weapons.
Two people, one large and one small, walked out of the small building and were greeted by Lenny and Micah from different directions.
"It seems everything is going well." Micah glanced at Mattie and said.
"I think I heard gunshots. Is it okay?" Lenny expressed concern.
"There was a small fish that slipped through the net, but it's dead now," Brandi smiled slightly and asked, "Did you find the thing?"
"I looked everywhere, but I didn't get much." Speaking of this, Lenny was also a little annoyed.
At this time, Mattie suddenly interrupted: "Are you looking for the remaining goods?"
"Yeah," Brandy lowered her head and looked at Mattie and said, "What? Do you know something?"
"I heard the big fat man in charge here chatting with his men before, saying that he wanted them to pay attention to the barn," Mattie scratched her little head and said, "I don't know the rest, but I think There will definitely be a harvest over there in the barn.”
Lenny and Brandy looked at each other and nodded. Brandy said, "Then let me help Lenny find it. Micah, go get the carriage ready. I see there are a few horses and carriages here." Che Dou, please don’t block the road and grab the car this time.”
"Okay, okay, you're right, I listen to you, boss." Micah responded sarcastically, turned around and went to prepare the carriage.
The two adults and one child came to the barn, and after searching for a while, they finally found a hole under a pile of hay. After moving them away, a cellar door came to light. After opening it, they found that there were many wooden boxes packed inside.
"Good guy, there are so many things." Lenny sighed.
"Okay, let's move things out as soon as possible," Brandi said, "Mattie, go outside and call Micah and ask him to drive the carriage to the door of the barn."
Mattie nodded, turned around and was about to leave, when the door of the barn was suddenly pushed open. Micah held an old lady tied into a rice dumpling and shouted, "Brandy, look what I found!"
Brandi turned around and saw Grandma Watson's face that was full of fear at this time, and her eyes gradually became cold.
It was after noon, and the sun was heading west.
The carriage was fully loaded, and at this time, only Mattie was sitting in the passenger seat, while Brandi, Micah, and Lenny were in various postures surrounding the old lady who only had her hands and feet tied up, doing nothing. , just staring at her.
Grandma Watson didn't dare to speak, she just closed her eyes tightly. She knew that she really had no chance of escape this time.
"She is the one who betrayed us?" Lenny said, "Why don't we kill her quickly? What are we waiting for?"
When Grandma Watson heard this, she was so frightened that she couldn't help but grinned and cried.
"Crying?" Micah kicked the old lady in the abdomen. The old lady's body instantly twisted into a shrimp shape, and her crying stopped abruptly.
"She is definitely going to die, but it would be too cheap to just kill her with a gun," Brandi said coldly, "I just haven't figured out how to let her die yet."
"Hmph, why don't you let me use a Molotov cocktail to give her an ending that's scorched on the outside but tender on the inside." Micah smiled cruelly.
"Hey, a person like her who has been doing road-blocking and robbery all her life will definitely be hanged if caught by the police. Molotov cocktails and so on are still too cheap for her." Brandi rejected Micah's proposal.
At this moment, inspiration suddenly came to his mind.
"Lenny, please drive Marty back to Strawberry Town first," Brandi said. "Micah, I need you to help me execute this old guy. Is that okay?"
"No problem, of course no problem," Micah said with a fierce look in his eyes, "I like this kind of thing the most."
Not long after, the carriage left the Drooping Dog Ranch carrying two people, one large and one small.
On the iron tower at Chui Dog Ranch, there was now a person who was tied to it. Her whole body was covered with flesh and blood. From a distance, she looked like a humanoid flesh and blood monster. She stopped twisting, but neither her tied hands nor her feet in the air could provide her with more strength, because her hands and feet had been smashed to pieces.
Not far away, Brandi and Micah were riding on their respective horses. Micah looked at the crying and struggling figure, smacked his lips, and sighed: "I thought I was cruel enough, but I didn't expect you. You are more ruthless than me, how did you come up with this idea?"
"When I talked about hanging before, something suddenly came to mind," Brandi said, looking at the person hanging on the tower expressionlessly, "if she broke her arms and legs, she would have no strength left to struggle, because It's excruciating pain just to move, and as for the flesh and blood covering her body, it's to give back to this land."
"Oh? How do you say this?" Micah asked with interest.
"This Grandma Watson was born here, grew up here, and has been robbing and killing people all her life. It can be said that she is full of evil," Brandy said here, with a rare evil smile on her lips. "Instead of letting her die happily, Why not let her give back to the creatures on this land before she dies? There must be no creature that she is not interested in with the smell of blood all over her body, right? I heard that there are not only birds of prey, but also wolves and bears. .”
Even for a pure evil person like Micah, he couldn't help but shudder after hearing these words. On the surface, this kid looked law-abiding and harmless to humans and animals, but he didn't expect that there was such an evil and dark corner in his heart. Ka is now starting to wonder if he would have died worse than this old lady if he hadn't been in the same gang as him.
"Okay, dinner has been served, and the diners will be here soon," Brandi turned the horse's head and said, "Let's go back, we should go back and relax."
More than half a month later, when the fat man who had escaped before returned here with his new men, they found a mutilated corpse that had been eaten by wild beasts under the iron tower. The scene could prove the identity of the deceased. Nothing was left. However, this is all a story for another day.
Early the next morning, east of Strawberry Town.
Two carriages stopped in the middle of the road, each with a driver waiting for them.
Brandi and Maddie rode their horses to say goodbye to Lenny and Micah.
"Be careful on the road, Brandy," Lenny said with a smile, "let's drink together after I get back from Strawberry Town."
Brandi also smiled after hearing this: "Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk."
"We worked very well together this time, little cowboy," Micah also smiled, "I hope we have the opportunity to work together again next time."
"Haha, next time we meet, I guess you are used to the taste of prison food." Brandy didn't speak, just thinking to herself.
"Mattie," Lenny said again, "you are a smart and brave child. You must remember to keep these two advantages of yours. This is very important to you, do you understand?"
Mattie smiled and nodded politely and said, "Thank you, Brother Lenny, I'll take note of it."
The whips crackled, the whistles sounded, and the motorcade faced the rising sun and headed towards the grassland.
