Chapter Thirteen Farewell(1/2)
"Good job, guys, those bastards got away."
Brandy looked at the backs of the remaining members of the Austrian gang who were fleeing 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 fleeing don't even have a chance to survive.
Overall, the new weapons are very much in line with Brandi's wishes.
Although the single-shot power of the Mauser pistol is slightly inferior to that of ordinary single-action revolvers, it is much higher than the continuous rate of fire of revolvers. The ammunition capacity of up to 10 rounds and the structure that is more stable and efficient than revolvers 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, but Brandy believes that this problem will be solved when he becomes familiar with them in the future.
Naturally, it was solved.
If possible, Brandy also wants to replace these two Mauser pistols with high-capacity 20-round bullets, commonly known as "twenty-shot" rapid-fire models. As for the reason, compared with the rapid-fire Mauser pistols themselves
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 about the revolver, but in this era, perhaps only Brandi understands the sentiment about the Mauser.
As for the Browning Auto-5 shotgun, which is simply called a semi-automatic shotgun, Brandy is even more satisfied.
As the first self-loading shotgun to be mass-produced in history, it naturally has its advantages to be able to remain active on the historical stage for nearly a century.
As far as Brandi’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
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. He glanced at the direction in which the remnants of the Austrian gang were fleeing, smiled contemptuously, and said: "A group of
They only know how to eat trash waiting to die and run away."
"What now?" Lenny knew very well that the matter was 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". 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 nearby body 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 will not at least be tortured like that time at Downs Ranch, then
, there is only one place in this ranch where she can be kept without abusing her."
Thinking of this, Brandy moved her eyes to the exquisite two-story building and determined her target.
Pushing open the door silently, Brandy 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, and he knew it after just a glance.
This would not 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." Brandy heard Mattie's voice and guessed that since Mattie could make a sound, she shouldn't have been kidnapped. 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, Brandi 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 her hostage, he held Maddie's neck tightly 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 be excited, friend," Brandi raised her hands to try to calm the scar-faced man's emotions, while slowly walking towards the scar-faced man and Mattie, "your partner can't care about you now."
, there is no point in resisting anymore, how about you return this child to me and I 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 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 Brandi'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?" Brandi thought of this, feeling a little annoyed, "Damn, I'm still not 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 now, 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 for him to calm down... eh, what the fuck?"
Before Brandi 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 when the scar-faced man turned all his attention to Brandi, Maddie secretly took the scar-faced man's dagger away with her free hand.
He pulled it out, and then stabbed it sideways based on his feeling, which resulted in the current situation.
"This little girl, after being held hostage, can actively think of ways to break the situation and put it into practice. It's really..." Brandi marveled in her heart at first, 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 scream in pain due to this kidney blow. However, this blow did not calm him down, but instead aroused his ferocity.
"Damn little brat, 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.
Bleeding, staining the sheets underneath 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 that had been locked in iron cuffs for nearly a day while looking at Brandi 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 didn't come, this guy wouldn't come over and kidnap me, and I wouldn't have a chance to fight back."
"Yeah, they really made a mistake in not locking both of your hands," Brandy nodded with deep approval, "Let's go, your brother Lenny and Uncle Micah are also down there, let's go meet 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 Brandi hadn't known what she had experienced,
I'm afraid everyone will think that this child is not afraid of blood, killing and death by nature.
"As agreed in advance," Mattie raised the dagger still stained with blood 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 gunfire, 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 interjected: "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 and get the carriage ready. I see there are a few horses and carriages here."
Chedou, please don’t block the road and grab the car this time.”
"Okay, okay, you're right, I'll 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 the 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, and her eyes gradually became cold.
It was after noon, and the sun was heading west.
The carriage was fully loaded and ready, and at this time, only Mattie was sitting in the passenger seat, while Brandy, Micah, and Lenny were in various postures surrounding the old lady who only had her hands and feet tied up, doing nothing.
