"Sheriff, I saw his accomplice, should I shoot?" Jonathan on the rock wall asked nervously.
"Of course not, you idiot, she's only 12 years old, do you want to go to the gallows, put away your gun and get out of here." said the old cowboy.
"Yes, Sheriff." Jonathan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, and hurriedly climbed down.
Zhang Heng did not remove the knife from the old cowboy's neck.
"Give them your guns," the old cowboy snorted again.
So Jonathan handed the rifle to Wendy.
"Are you satisfied now?" the old cowboy said coldly.
Zhang Heng nodded, "But you may not be very satisfied with what I'm going to do next."
The old cowboy seemed to think of something, his expression changed, "How dare you?"
However, as soon as he said these words, gunshots rang out, and then the old cowboy saw his beloved white horse lying in a pool of blood.
"Sorry, I have to make sure you don't catch up again. After all, I don't really want to go to the police station for coffee." Zhang Heng didn't stop, and killed Jonathan's horse.
The old cowboy's face was pained, "Then why don't you kill your old horse and ride my good horse?"
"Because... I am willing?" After brutally murdering two poor hardworking animals, Zhang Heng searched the old cowboy and Jonathan again, and then put away the revolver in his hand.
He first picked up the gun he had dropped on the ground, and then took the rifle from Wendy.
Seeing that Zhang Heng was still stretching out his hand, Wendy said oh, and reluctantly returned the revolver that someone gave her before.
"Then can you give me the sheriff's hand?" Wendy asked in a low voice.
"No, I don't want to be shot in the back by my own people." Zhang Heng said, "You haven't learned how to shoot at all, why do you want a gun?"
"I've seen Dad hunt, I know how to use a gun, and I just took down a sheriff's deputy."
"He won't be the deputy sheriff soon." The old cowboy was obviously quite dissatisfied with his deputy being knocked down by a girl who had just turned twelve.
"You shouldn't blame him, Sheriff, it wasn't his fault, he just picked the wrong guy."
Wendy looked like a winner, and after speaking, she eagerly said to Zhang Heng, "That kid named Joseph also has a horse, shall we go back and kill it?"
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. If there is only one horse, they will not dare to catch up. Am I right, Sheriff?" Zhang Heng said.
"It's not about the horse, boy," warned the old cowboy. "I may not be able to take you to court, but that's not all I have."
"Really, but I can take you to court." Zhang Heng said.
"..."
"Either way, tell me what secret you have with the child's father. I can give you a gun for self-defense, and it's quite a long way back to Glen Town from here."
"For your own good, you should follow my advice and take this kid home," said the old cowboy. "They won't hurt Matthew, but you won't necessarily."
"They, who are they?" Zhang Heng asked.
"I can only tell you so much." The old cowboy closed his mouth after finishing speaking, making it clear that he didn't want to say another word.
"I hate people who only say half of what they say every time." Wendy frowned.
"Me too, but it is undeniable that he revealed some useful information. At least now we know that your father's disappearance is related to a group of people. They obviously knew each other. Your father ran to meet them, and it is likely that he followed them voluntarily." They're gone, and they're supposed to be dangerous, and he's right, you probably shouldn't have run out looking for your father in the first place."
"You can't be 100% sure about this," Wendy said.
"yes."
"This means that my father may still be in danger, and you also said that those people are not good people. They may do anything."
"Maybe." Zhang Heng also admitted, Wendy's guess is not unreasonable.
"Then I'm going to look for it," Wendy said firmly, and then asked Zhang Heng, "Are you scared?"
"I haven't felt fear for a long time." Zhang Heng replied.
"So you want to take the opportunity to increase your salary?"
"No, just now I had a reason to pursue the matter, and now whether you pay me or not, I will not give up on this matter." Zhang Heng shook his head.
"Why?"
It was difficult for Zhang Heng to explain the main quest to Wendy. He had just accidentally obtained a clue that looked like a lucky horseshoe. In this way, Wendy's commission coincided with his main quest.
"Just treat me as idle."
"Then I can't go back, I can help you by following you." Wendy said.
"I doubt it." Zhang Heng said, but even though he said that, he couldn't deny that Wendy was actually useful. Although her combat power was negligible, Zhang Heng had never met Matthew before. It would be easier to find someone by bringing her by your side, not to mention that with the relationship between Wendy and Matthew, it might be possible to reduce some dangers.
But Wendy is also very capable of causing trouble. She is not a bear. In fact, Wendy is too precocious compared to other bear children of the same age, but this child has the most stubborn temper Zhang Heng has ever seen.
The two didn't get along for a long time, but her ability to "cause trouble" has already given Zhang Heng a headache.
However, Zhang Heng did not force Wendy to go back. He is different from the old cowboy. Zhang Heng knows very well that even if Wendy is sent home by force, she will definitely find a way to run out again, and even start thinking about it halfway. this matter.
Instead of this, it's better to bring her by your side, at least you can watch a little bit, lest she cause any big trouble
So Zhang Heng didn't say anything else, just said to Wendy, "Let's go, we've been delayed for so long, we have to make time on the way back."
Then he handed his revolver with the bullets out to the old cowboy, and under the latter's unfriendly gaze, he took out another box of bullets and threw it behind a rock wall.
"You are welcome."
After finishing speaking, he rode on the radish that was grazing on the side. The radish didn't know that Zhang Heng's riding skills were not good enough, and he had just escaped a catastrophe. He glanced at the green grass in front of him again, and set foot on the journey.
And Wendy obediently followed behind Zhang Heng riding Lightning.
"Tell me about your father again." Zhang Heng observed the rock walls on both sides, carefully guarding against an ambush, without turning his head.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang Heng."
