Chapter 6 Buying Necessities

The lights in the gun shop are bright.

Various firearms of different lengths are displayed in transparent glass display cases: revolvers, long and short rifles, Mauser pistols (box guns), shotguns, and double-barreled shotguns.

Seeing Gu An entering the store, a middle-aged man wearing a brown suit and tie, with a slicked back hairdo and a mustache on his face, who looked like a butler, came up to him with a smile.

"Welcome to Mike's Firearms Store. I am Mike, your senior gun recommender. Sir, what kind of gun do you want to buy?"

"Hello Mr. Mike, I'm not here to buy a gun, I'm here to buy bullets, bullets for this revolver."

As he spoke, Gu An took out the silver-gray revolver from his arms and placed it on the counter to show it to Mike.

"Oh, it's the Flower of Silver Ash. This is already a very old gun, but it looks like it's been well maintained."

Mike just glanced at it, then turned around and took out two boxes of ammunition from the cabinet behind him and placed them next to the Silver Ash Flower revolver.

"Well, the 11.5mm hollow-point bullets that are most suitable for bringing out the power of the Flower of Silver Ash are the 11.5mm hollow-point bullets. There are twenty rounds of bullets in this box, and they only cost eighteen copper coins."

"If you buy more than 300 rounds at a time, the store will also give you a box of pure silver 11.5mm bullets."

What?

Sterling silver bullets?!

Is it so luxurious?

Gu An only had a bag of copper coins given to him by Old Sheriff White. On the way to the gun shop, Gu An counted fifty-two copper coins in it.

"Well, I'll just buy one box."

He took out his money bag, counted eighteen copper coins and handed them to Mike. Gu An took back his revolver and a box of bullets.

"Okay sir."

Although Gu An only bought one box of bullets, Mike did not change his face because of this. He still sent Gu An off with a smile and welcomed him to come back next time.

After walking out of the gun shop, he opened the bullet box and took out four bullets. After filling the revolver with bullets, Gu An put the gun and the bullet box into the big pocket of his coat.

Now Gu An still had thirty-four copper coins left, and he couldn't help but look at the coat shop not far away.

Nowadays, apart from the coat given by Chief White, Gu An only has a set of black silk pajamas. If he doesn't buy one or two sets of normal cold-proof clothes, he will definitely not be able to do it.

There is no way, the weather is too cold to bear, so I have to spend the money on clothes.

Holding the money bag containing copper coins, Gu An prayed in his heart that the clothes would be cheaper, and pushed open the door of the cloak shop with all his strength.

"Dingling~Dingling~"

As the door of the cloak shop was pushed open, the bell hanging behind the door swayed and rang.

"Welcome, please wait a moment."

It was a hoarse female voice, not unpleasant, but with a coldness. Although she spoke polite words, there was a sense of distance, and there was a feeling that if you wanted to talk to her, you would be rejected directly.

"Okay, ma'am."

Gu An responded politely, turned around and closed the door of the clothing store, and then began to browse the clothes in the store.

The area of ​​the clothing store is not large. There are two long rows of shelves, with men's clothing on the left and women's clothing on the right. There is also a long table in the middle with seven or eight hats of different styles on it.

The men's clothing area on the left hangs different tops, including high-necked and low-necked sweaters, genuine leather jackets, woolen brown shawls, and gray-blue cotton coats. There are not many styles of pants, only jeans and

There are two types of overalls.

Gu An chose a black-brown cowboy hat, two crew-neck sweaters of different colors, two jackets that should be made of cowhide, two pairs of jeans and a pair of leather boots.

There were no price tags on these clothes. Gu An didn't know how much they cost in total, so he couldn't just leave the money and leave.

I waited for almost two or three minutes.

The wooden door in the cloakroom was opened, and a beautiful woman with wet hair, who might have just been washed, walked out.

This woman is about twenty-four or five years old. She is tall and has a fair oval face with a little baby fat. She wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses on her face and her wet hair is sideways.

Gu An's eyes couldn't help but look at the beautiful woman in front of him. This woman had long hair hanging on one side and her pupils were brown, and her fair face had a somewhat cold expression.

"Please give me the clothes you selected."

"Oh well."

The beautiful female shop assistant took the clothes that Gu An handed over, then folded them one by one, put them into a square cloth bag, and handed them back to Gu An.

"A total of thirty-three copper coins."

"...Okay, here you go."

Gu An tremblingly poured all the copper coins into his palm, leaving one behind. The others were placed on the counter of the cloak shop, and the pretty female clerk swept them into the drawer of the counter without even looking.

Gu An wanted to say a few more words to this pretty female clerk, but she just nodded expressionlessly in response, and Gu An left helplessly, asking for trouble.

Alas, it turns out that those novels are all lies.

Look at the protagonists in those novels. Every beautiful female character they meet will fall in love with the protagonist at first sight, or they will also be full of affection.

I actually traveled through time, so I'm the protagonist, right? Why couldn't I make that pretty female clerk feel good about me, and then directly give me a 50% discount, so that I wouldn't be left with only one copper plate now.

When Gu An returned to the inn carrying the cloth bag, the old man Baker had returned from having his teeth filled, and he and the little girl Bethea were eating.

Seeing Gu An, the old man Baker called out enthusiastically: "Yan Shuangying, you are back. Come, come and eat together. I have prepared the plates, knives and forks for you."

"Ah this..."

Gu An said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Baker, living here for free makes me feel very embarrassed. You can't let me eat and drink for free anymore."

"Although I don't have any copper coins left in my hand now, so I can't give you money right away, but don't worry, I will never continue to owe you money."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh, look what you said." Old Baker smiled helplessly. Seeing that he couldn't persuade Gu An, he had to agree to Gu An's request and give Gu An his meal money first.

Record it in the account.

After eating, the little girl Bethea silently began to take the initiative to put away the food, while Old Baker took Gu An upstairs to the room he had prepared for Gu An.

The room is not big, but it has all the necessary things, including a bed, table, chairs, and wardrobe. Especially, the bed has been covered with sheets and a thick quilt.

This old man Baker is really nice!

Gu An expresses his gratitude to Baker.

Baker waved his hands repeatedly, but thanked Gu An again for stepping in to save her granddaughter Bethea.

It turns out that Bethea is the old Baker's only relative in the world. No wonder the young Bethea seems taciturn and does not seem to be as innocent and energetic as she should be at this age.

While Gu An was listening to Old Baker telling what happened to Bethea's parents, Bethea stood at the door at some point, listening with an expressionless expression on her little face.

It turns out that Bethea's father is also a bounty hunter, and he is also a famous bounty hunter. However, his reputation is too great, but it brings disaster to him.

A group of criminals who had been sent to prison escaped from prison. They broke into Bethea's home, captured Bethea's mother and threatened Bethea's father to give up resistance.

In order not to be tortured and burden her husband, Bethea's mother committed suicide, and Bethea's father, who fell into madness, desperately killed the criminals.

This is a tragedy.
