Chapter 113 The Morris Gang
Since even Joe Marston felt that the city was relatively safe, Jing Yu naturally didn't want to stay alone in the hotel, and he didn't plan to go far, just wandering around here.
This city looks more primitive than the American western films Jingyu has seen. Most of the houses on both sides of the road are made of wooden, and the pavement is not hardened and paved, and it is completely dirt. However, there are many pedestrians dressed in various colors, and people ride horses by the street from time to time.
Walking on this dusty ground, Jing Yu looked around curiously. He had already recognized a blacksmith shop, a shop that made wooden barrels or other wooden tools, a shop that sold food and a butcher shop.
The thicker butcher in the butcher shop, wearing a blood-stained oil cloth apron, was slaughtering a cow on the pebble street in front of the shop. When Jing Yu passed by, he had already made the beast's stomach and piled it in a large wooden basin next to it, forcing Jing Yu to avoid it.
There seemed to be a tavern or other shops farther away. There were even women wearing clothes showing their white breasts to attract customers on the street. The appearance of those women made Jing Yu feel a little scary. Although Jing Yu felt a little sympathetic, he had no idea to help them.
There were still many people on the entire street. Jing Yu walked towards the other side to avoid that direction. In addition to some spices, cloths, and household utensils on both sides of the road, Jing Yu didn't know what many things were for, but he didn't ask anyone to ask about them, and just wandered around boredly.
However, he did not stay away from the hotel, but just quietly took some photos of it with his camera. Of course, the people around him just thought his movements were a bit weird and didn't know what Jing Yu was doing.
Suddenly, Jing Yu noticed that there seemed to be several people in the distance who seemed to be staring at him, and they were swaying at each other and walking towards him.
"Hey, GF, where are you from?" Jing Yu saw five people on the other side, all wearing hats with crooked beards, their faces seemed to be weathered, and they were wearing messy clothes. They didn't know how long it took to wash them, but these people were all wearing guns. When the speaker opened his mouth, Jing Yu could see his shiny gold teeth.
They obviously felt that Jing Yu and Andrew's dress was incompatible with the atmosphere here. After all, Jing Yu was wearing clothes customized in London, and the materials and handicrafts were completely different from those of most people here. Moreover, Jing Yu's appearance was also somewhat different from that of white people. When he was in London, no one would cause trouble for him, but in this place where there was no order, it made people stare at it.
When Jing Yu saw them looking for trouble, he ignored it and prepared to leave this unsafe place. However, the other party found that Jing Yu had only two people here and there were no guards around him, so he thought that Jing Yu and the others were rare fat sheep. However, now a few people dare not do anything blatantly, but they just kept stimulating them with words.
"Hey, foreign boy, we ask you what you said. Do you look down on us if you don't answer?"
"How is it?" Jing Yu immediately asked Andrew beside him.
Andrew shook his head gently, "Sir, there are too many people on the other side, I'm afraid I can't deal with them at the same time. At most, I can deal with two or three, and I'm not sure about the rest."
After hearing Andrew say this, Jing Yu was a little worried. If he could not fuck the other party and some people down as soon as possible, it would be more troublesome if he was shot by the other party. However, Jing Yu also knew that he could not show weakness at this time, otherwise he would be more likely to be targeted by the other party.
But the situation was stronger than that of people, Jing Yu began to draw the gun, but he knew that the risks were very high in this situation. He had watched western movies and knew that these people were all fast gunmen, and their speed of drawing guns was far greater than that of them. As for Andrew, he might not be as fast as these people. If he was hit, he might not be able to treat them in this era and this place.
Just as the other party got closer and closer, people around dodged away, and Jing Yu and Andrew were forced to feel helpless, someone suddenly drank: "What are you doing?"
A man with a police badge walked over with a gun at his waist and stared at the few people in the distance.
"Nothing, Mr. Police Officer, we're just strolling here," said one of them, and looked like he was walking.
"Yes, sir, we are walking together." As they spoke, several people gradually moved away from Jing Yu and the others.
"Then let's go away!" the police scolded them.
The few people didn't seem to want to provoke him. Although they still looked disapproving, they went further and further.
After seeing them leaving one after another, the policeman turned around to face Jing Yu.
"Thank you, Mr. Police Officer." Jing Yu expressed his gratitude to him.
The policeman waved his hand and said, "Gentlemen, be careful here. It seems that the Morris Gang has set his sights on you. If I were you, I will definitely bring enough guards."
"What's going on?" Jing Yu asked afterwards.
"They are the infamous Morris Gang, specializing in robbing merchants or other pedestrians in the wilderness. But we have never caught them. Because the people who met them are dead, they cannot catch them directly. Now it seems that these people have set their sights on you. You better pay more attention and don't leave here easily, otherwise they will definitely take action." The policeman said to Jing Yu.
Jing Yu wanted to ask a few more questions, but the police seemed unwilling to say anything more. After reminding the two of them, they left.
It was not surprising that the policeman was unwilling to say more about Jing Yu. The other party had already reminded himself that he had done enough. After all, in this era, he had no hope of relying on the police, especially in this place, and he had to deal with the rest by himself.
Of course, Jing Yu had no intention of wandering around again. His original interest disappeared without a trace, so the two of them returned to the hotel directly.
Jing Yu found Joe Marston, who was busy sorting out the purchased materials and asked someone to load them into the carriage in different categories.
Seeing Jing Yu and the others come back, they just simply say hello, but after Jing Yu told him about the situation, Joe Marston immediately frowned.
"Sorry, Mr. Jing, I didn't expect them to appear here." It seems that Joe Marston is not unfamiliar with the Morris Gang, at least he will know as soon as Jing Yu said it.
Jing Yu passed the policeman's warning to Joe Marston. Joe Marston thought for a while and said, "Mr. Jing, this is indeed a trouble, but don't worry, it seems that we still have to increase some staff. I happen to know a few people living here. I invite them over later and go with us so that I don't have to worry about Morris helping."
Jing Yu felt a little relieved when he heard Joe Marston's words, but he always felt that his journey would not be so smooth from now on.
