America 1881: Legend of the West

Chen Dewang, who was sitting upright, suddenly stood up, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop".

The owner of the warehouse on South Street is none other than him.

Except for those who were drunk, everyone in the restaurant was already half sober.

They rushed out one after another.

Looking from the door of the restaurant to the south, there were already two two-story buildings burning with raging fire, and the light of the fire turned half of the sky red.

Without saying a word, Chen Jianqiu led Li Sifu and the others and rushed toward South Street.

"Why are you still standing there? Go put out the fire!" Chen Dewang, who was helped out of the restaurant, patted his thigh and stamped his feet.

The group of people at the door woke up from a dream and ran towards South Street behind Chen Jianqiu and the others.

Chen Jianqiu had already led people to the fire scene.

The two warehouses were burning fiercely, and the flames had already engulfed the roofs of the warehouses and spread to a nearby wooden house.

The scene was in chaos. A group of people were running around like headless flies. Those carrying buckets and basins were shouting for help. Their voices were all in one voice.

"Everyone lined up in a line and took turns to receive water." Chen Jianqiu gave an order to the soldiers behind him, "Put out the fire in the south first and don't let the fire spread!"

Following his order, the soldiers lined up skillfully.

Their firefighting queue took shape in less than five minutes.

Under their leadership, the originally chaotic fire fighters at the scene also found their positions.

Chen Jianqiu arranged tasks for each of them.

Those who should deliver water deliver water, those who should rescue people rescue people, those who should move things move things, and those who should call the police call the police.

"Boss, do you want me to ask everyone on the boat to come over and put out the fire?" Li Sifu asked, looking at the fire that was not abating.

Chen Jianqiu held two buckets in his hand and passed them to the two people who started:

"No, let them rest. If the fire cannot be extinguished, the shift will change in the middle of the night." He glanced at the direction of the dock, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head, "Have you heard back from the Honolulu Fire Department?"

"They replied that they were organizing firefighters. It might be hard to find people at night." Li Sifu felt helpless.

"Just find a few people to drag out their water tanker. If you don't need them, give them money if they agree. If they don't agree, take it away." Chen Jianqiu said expressionlessly.

Li Sifu took the order and left.

After a while, two waterwheels pulled by four horses arrived at the scene.

"Are you in trouble?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at Li Sifu, "Do you need me to step forward?"

The young man chuckled: "How can these bastards gather anyone? There is no one in the fire station. I had someone pick the lock and drag the water tanker directly."

More and more people joined the fire-fighting queue, and the fire-fighting work became orderly. Even Chen Dewang, who had been inactive for a long time, joined in. People in their sixties also began to support their old waists to help carry water.

Even Chen Jianqiu went out to put out the fire. With his own property, how could he have the nerve to command others with his hands on his hips?

With the efforts of everyone, the fire was quickly contained.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly heard someone exclaim:

"The house! The house is on fire!"

Everyone was startled and looked in the direction.

Flames suddenly burst out from behind a house not far from the warehouse!

This house and the surrounding wooden houses are almost connected together. If it really catches fire, the consequences will be disastrous!

But this house is still some distance away from the warehouse, so why did it happen just like that?

Chen Jianqiu felt something was wrong.

While arranging people to put out the fire, he turned on the shooter mode.

Sure enough, squatting in a corner of the roof was a short figure, wearing night clothes and wrapped tightly, looking like a ninja.

He squatted there quietly, almost integrated with the roof, quietly observing the situation at the scene.

The only two eyes that were exposed on his body were intertwined with Chen Jianqiu's gaze.

The two people's eyes met for a moment.

Chen Jianqiu drew his gun instantly! And the figure activated like a ghost.

"boom!"

The ninja figure suddenly paused, and then continued to jump towards another roof.

Chen Jianqiu picked up the gun, rushed towards the house, and then flew up to the roof along the pillar.

In the light of the fire, he saw traces of liquid on the roof.

Chen Jianqiu pointed a little with both fingers, brought it to his nose and smelled it.

is blood.

It looked like he had been shot and injured.

Chen Jianqiu turned on the shooter mode and chased after the blood trail over the roof.

Even though the ninja was injured, he was very fast, jumping from rooftop to rooftop with the agility of a monkey.

But Chen Jianqiu was not slow either. He ran all the way on the roof, and with the shooter mode on, he had a wide field of vision in the dark, and he quickly caught up with the ninja.

Chen Jianqiu was about to draw his gun.

But I don't know if the ninja sensed the danger, or he was exhausted and knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely die on the spot.

He ran to the edge of a roof and took something out of his pocket.

The ninja took the thing and smashed it against the roof, and instantly a cloud of smoke rose into the dark night.

The smoke was dark and smelly. It spread quickly and soon completely enveloped the roof.

The night adds to the black mist, and the darkness adds to the darkness.

Chen Jianqiu found that his shooter mode could find targets in the dark night, but it could not penetrate the black fog!

But he still rushed into the black mist.

Chen Jianqiu raised his ears and listened to the movements around him. He estimated that the ninja might use smoke bombs to sneak attack him.

But there was no movement.

After the black fog cleared, Chen Jianqiu saw the surrounding situation clearly.

That ninja disappeared out of thin air! The blood stains on the roof also stopped abruptly at the edge of the roof.

Chen Jianqiu jumped off the roof.

He wondered if the ninja might just walk off the roof and down to the ground.

However, there was no trace on the ground.

The ninja seemed to have evaporated, throwing the smoke bomb and disappearing without a trace.

"Boss! I'm here!" Li Sifu ran over from the ground, panting.

Chen Jianqiu put his hands on his hips and looked around.

"It looks like he's the 'Flower Picking Ninja' Sato Kojiro." He touched the beard on his chin, "This kid is very skilled! He can still get away from being chased after being injured, which is something."

Chen Jianqiu thought to himself:

This ninja's light skills are not inferior to his own, and he has various methods and props, which is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

It would indeed be a bit troublesome if we came here every day to set fire to someone or something.

Therefore, he must die!

However, Chen Jianqiu thought for a while and couldn't think of a way to deal with this guy yet.

The fire on South Street in Chinatown kept firefighters busy almost all night. However, due to the timely discovery and the relatively organized firefighting personnel, the fire did not cause a major disaster and only burned down two warehouses owned by Chen Dewang.

"Jianqiu, thank you for your hard work. If the warehouse burns down, it can be rebuilt, but if the houses in Chinatown are burned down, it will be really troublesome!" Chen Dewang looked at Chen Jianqiu with a tired look.

Chen Jianqiu was still cleaning up the ruins.

Among the soldiers around him, except for Li Sifu, all the other personnel were changed.

The previous group changed guard and went to bed in the early morning.

"Boss, do you want to take a rest?" Li Sifu asked Chen Jianqiu while yawning.

He could barely keep his eyes open.

"Do you think I'm going to sleep?" Chen Jianqiu looked at Li Sifu disapprovingly and tilted his head, "Why don't you go find a place to rest for a while."

Li Sifu was not polite. He walked to a bench at the entrance of the outer street of Chinatown and lay down on it.

Just when he was about to close his eyes and take a nap on the recliner, the darkness that appeared at the end of the street made him instantly sleepless.

Li Sifu jumped up from the recliner and ran towards Chen Jianqiu.

Yamamoto Haruma, Yamada Sho's apprentices, and a large group of ronin were coming towards Chinatown in a menacing manner.
