He's in the west, he's a cowboy

It had already dawned, but the snow still didn't stop. The gloomy sky seemed to be pressing down and crushing everything on the ground. The big clumps of snow hit my face painfully. Zhou Zheng pushed the door open and took a deep breath while standing at the door. He was choked by the cold air and coughed, but the fresh air also cleared his mind after struggling all night.

Zhou Zheng took a breath and looked outside the door. There was snow everywhere. The snow on the ground almost reached his knees. It seemed as if the whole world was about to be buried in snow. He traveled through time.

As a young man in the 21st century, he is just 26 years old this year and works for an Internet company. At the beginning of this year, the company needed a technician to stay at the branch in the United States. He was single and an orphan, and his language skills could barely pass, so he I am honored to be selected by the company.

After all, most of the other technical backbones have families. Even if they come, they can only work for a year at most and then find reasons to go back. This was the case with his previous predecessors. The salary for overseas assignments was high, and he thought that he had nothing to worry about anyway. , it would be nice to make more money, so I readily agreed.

Life in the United States is boring. Although the city he lives in is big, the security in most areas cannot be guaranteed, so he definitely doesn't dare to go out for a hangout. In addition to partying at night, his American colleagues just drink and have fun. Don't go together.

As an orphan, I don’t have any hobbies. When he was young, he had little time and money. He was self-disciplined and hard-working, so he spent all his time studying and working. The only thing that could be called leisure was practicing Tai Chi with the restaurant owner Lao Chen. Lao Chen said that when he was young, he once defeated the most invincible player in the world. Zhou Zheng just laughed it off. If he really defeated the most powerful player in the world, he still opened a small restaurant.

When people are free, they find things to do for themselves. On weekends, they go to the countryside to ride horses, go to shooting ranges, and have a collection of several old-fashioned revolvers. When I have free time, I also ride on my horse and go hunting in the mountains with a gun, just like the cowboys in the American West.

After a colleague who loved playing games knew about his hobby, he strongly recommended a game to him, Red Dead Redemption. He had never played many games. Although the game has developed rapidly in recent years, he has never played it.

He was sure that he had arrived in the world of Red Dead Redemption. After being introduced by his colleagues, he downloaded the game. He had just started the prologue, and without even recognizing the characters in the game, he knew that the protagonist of the game was Arthur, the gang leader. Called Dutch. When other things were still confused, he traveled through time.

His current body comes from the Chinese country in this time and space. He is from Js, also named Zhou Zheng, and is only eighteen years old. My father once participated in the Heavenly King's uprising. After the uprising failed, he hid in his hometown in the countryside. He could live a life of marrying a wife and having children. When the original owner was fifteen, his parents both left and he went to the county town alone to make a living.

Because someone in his ancestors had been a military officer, the original owner had a family background, and he also had quite a bit of strength. He was considered ruthless among the younger generation, and he soon became the little bully in the nearby streets.

But there is no way out if you are brave and fierce. If you don't have the power behind you, you will always be just a little brat. In a street melee, he punched the boss of the opposite party to death. Now he was in big trouble. There was quite a lot of power behind that man. To be precise, that man's sister was the concubine of a county magistrate.

This time, there was nothing left to do. Many of the original gang members were caught and ran away. The original owner was alone. He was almost arrested several times and ate peanuts. Finally, in desperation, he met a man overseas. Those who get rich get small.

His nickname was Zhou Xing. Ten years ago, he went overseas to seek life alone. Now he saw Zhou Zheng, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and riding a tall horse. He looked at Zhou Zheng with envy.

After Fa Xiao learned about his affairs, he promised to take Zhou Zheng to the United States to make a fortune. He also said that the United States was full of gold, and several of his fellow villagers who had gone there before had made a fortune. The original owner thought that he was now desperate in his hometown, so he might as well try to defend himself. , Maybe I can return home in rich clothes in the future, so I boarded a smuggling ship to the United States in March this year.

It wasn't until he set foot on American soil that he realized that he had been deceived by the courier. It turned out that he was working for an American company called Cornwall, who had deceived him from China and wanted to send them north to mine. Build railroads.

Zhou Zheng wanted to resist, but no matter how big his fist was, he couldn't hit the musket. In this way, more than [-] people who were traveling with him were trapped and put on a train.

How could he, who is a ruthless person himself, be willing to be a slave? The original owner took advantage of the lax guard, cut the rope with a piece of rusty iron, jumped off the train when it reached Ambarino, and rushed into the snowy sky in a panic. Naturally, he froze to death. In the mountains.

Although many memories have been broken, the strong hatred still allows Zhou Zheng, a latecomer, to clearly remember the appearance of that fellow countryman.

There are also those fellow villagers who have also been deceived. In this era when the status of Chinese workers is very low, I don’t know where they are suffering. Now that I'm here, I have to find a way to help them.

Thinking of these, he suddenly became discouraged. What should he do? There were so many people on the opposite side, and he didn't even have the legendary gold finger that comes standard for time travellers. Even saving his life was a problem at the moment, so how could he help others? ?

Zhou Zheng liked to box when he was upset. He found a corner and stood with his legs spread wide. He slowly waved his hands and danced with his body. Gradually, Zhou Zheng felt something was wrong.

"What's going on? Didn't you practice like this before? Why does it feel weird? Is it because it's not my body?" Zhou Zheng felt strange after practicing for a while. There was something wrong with the strength in his body.

Tai Chi is divided into performance methods and practice methods. Lao Chen only taught Zhou Zheng the performance method, but Zhou Zheng just took a shot and found that something was wrong. He felt that there was endless power coming from his limbs. He looked at the tree trunk in front of him and felt that he had punched It can directly blow up this tree.

Zhou Zheng recalled the memory of the original owner, and slowly some memories came to the surface. It turned out that the original owner was a ruthless person. He always fought bravely and hit people. This body was not used to this kind of slow Tai Chi, so it naturally started to fight. It made Zhou Zheng feel weird.

Understanding the reason, Zhou Zheng slowly calmed down, restrained the body's muscle memory, resisted the desire to blow the tree trunk in front of him with one punch, and slowly started to fight with one move after another.

I have to say that the original owner's body is really good. Although his body in the previous life was also good, compared with the original owner's extraordinary talent, it was really far behind. Original Zhou Zheng felt that what Lao Chen taught him was purely aerobics. , but now combined with the things in his memory, Zhou Zheng felt a little different.

The boxing skills that were weak in my previous life are now very powerful when I swing them. I used to think that some of the movements were weird, but combined with the memory of the original owner's fights, I found that these movements seemed to be more than just aerobics? ? ?

"Hey, kid, what are you doing?" A cigarette was handed over from behind. Zhou Zheng looked back and saw that it was the man who rescued him yesterday, Arthur Morgan. He is also the protagonist of this game and one of the only two people Zhou Zheng knows.

He took the cigarette and lit it, choking and coughing. The cigarettes of this period did not have cigarette holders and the smell was very unpleasant, but they were refreshing enough.

"Thank you, Arthur." Zhou Zheng said, "Thank you for saving me, I will repay you."

Zhou Zheng looked at Arthur solemnly. He must repay kindness. This is his life creed. When he was young, his classmates, teachers, and even the owner of the restaurant where he worked all gave him a lot of help. In the first month after he received his salary, he luxuriously set up a table in a hotel, treated those who had helped him to a meal with tears in his eyes, and promised that he would repay the kindness he owed back then.

"Forget it in return. After all, I won't freeze like a hard salted fish in the snow." It sounded like Arthur's mouth was quite poisonous, but he was a good person, at least a good person. "This country is very big. After the snow stops, we will send you to a nearby town and you can start your life again."

How can that work. Although Zhou Zheng has not started playing the game yet, he also knows that the rough man in front of him is the protagonist, and based on his understanding of the United States, the United States during this period has nothing to do with security. Gangs and bandits are rampant, burning and killing everywhere. Robbery, cross-state thieves are rampant, and various gangs in the city sit on the ground and proclaim themselves kings, looking like uncrowned kings.

The remaining Indians in the wild mustered up their last remaining courage and launched a final charge against the white men who had robbed their homes. They were fearless even if they knew the outcome would be death. Apart from this life, they had nothing to lose.

"Can you let me join you? I can shoot, ride a horse, and I'm good at fighting. I want to join you." Zhou Zheng felt that it would be better to follow the protagonist before everything is unclear.

As a firearms enthusiast and horseback riding enthusiast, Zhou Zheng also did a little research on firearms during this period. He recognized it at a glance. The gun on Arthur's waist was the famous Colt 1873 single-action revolver, nicknamed Peace. The Creator, also known as the Cowboy Revolver, is a pistol that has witnessed the history of the West. He had this gun in his collection.

Arthur looked surprised: "Join us? Did I hear you right, kid? We are gangsters and are being chased by a group of police. Do you want to join us now? Or did the snow and wind last night freeze you stupid?"

"So what? You saved me and left like this. I feel uneasy. Moreover, my fellow countryman sold me to an American company. I heard them say that this company is very powerful. I am a yellow-skinned person. How to make a living? The United States is not a peaceful country. As I am now, anyone who sees me can step on me. If I are discovered by those people, I will not be able to resist at all. I will still be captured and used as a slave. I will follow you. At least there's freedom, right?"

Indeed, in the United States, a country that excludes Chinese, it is simply impossible for a yellow person to have a normal life.

Since the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act, life for Chinese in the United States has become increasingly difficult. In this immigrant country, each ethnic group has its own class, and unfortunately, the Chinese are at the bottom like blacks and Indians.

Zhou Zheng actually doesn't like gangs. He knows that no matter what gang he is, they are all the same. Even the so-called thieves are not much different. But the situation is like this now. If he doesn't join the gang in front of him, he will really Not sure if I would survive.

"Let's talk about it." Arthur took a puff of cigarette and said a little irritably: "By the way, what were you doing just now? What was it, aerobics?"

"A kind of boxing, a boxing technique for fighting." Zhou Zheng felt that Arthur couldn't understand what Tai Chi was, so he had to casually say that it was a boxing technique for fighting.

"Fight? Hahahahaha, stop bragging, kid, your fists are soft, softer than a prostitute in bed." Arthur really couldn't understand and said with a smile.

"Oh, are you bragging? You'll know if you try it, right?" Zhou Zheng said with a smile.
