"What do they want my father to do." Wendy asked impatiently.
"Help them find a group of people." Zhang Heng's face became a little weird when he said this.
"who?"
"More than a month ago, there was a robbery in Liangyin Town. A group of masked men ransacked the bank in the town and stole 40 kilograms of gold. However, few people know that they also robbed another One thing that didn't belong to them, one thing that belonged to Cook.
"Cook wants your father to help him retrieve that item, but he seems to have other plans besides that," Zhang Heng said.
"But... the time is wrong, as far as I know, the one-armed man came to Lincoln County very early and lived next door to our house..." Wendy frowned, "Wait, you mean Cook Have you been spying on my father all these years?"
"I'm afraid so."
"Until Cook's thing got lost and they contacted my father and told him to come to Bliss, my father was half Indian and he was a really good master tracker, and then they used the lives of farmers in town Threatening my father and forcing him to help find someone." Wendy finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
"Twelve days ago, Cook left ten people to guard the farmers, and he left with the remaining thirty or so people and your father."
"So as long as my father helps them find the person they're looking for, the Cook Gang will let him back?" Wendy asked.
"It's not that simple." Zhang Heng shook his head, "Cook's order to those left behind is to kill everyone in half a month, leave Bliss, and meet in Lincoln County."
"Huh?" Wendy's eyes widened, "What are they doing in Lincoln County?"
"Haven't you seen it, Cook doesn't actually care about the thing that was lost," Zhang Heng said, "His target is only your father from the beginning to the end, and they plan to go to Lincoln County to pay for the hanged independence If you want revenge, your father who is accompanying you will be completely dragged into the water, and you will have no choice but to stay with the Cook Gang."
"Then what should we do?" Wendy's reaction was much calmer than Zhang Heng imagined. Although she was also worried, she did not become flustered because of worry, but said, "If you can put If I settle this matter, I can be the master and give you half of the pasture land and the cattle on the land."
"At this point, there is only one way. We need to stop them before they reach Lincoln County. However, even I can't handle the number of more than thirty people. We have to find some helpers."
...
Two days later, Zhang Heng and Wendy hurried back to Glenn Town.
"Hahaha, let's see who's here." The old cowboy stood outside the police station and sneered, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, well, it hasn't been long since we last met, I didn't expect So soon to avenge my horse."
"You know Cook, the leader of the Cook Gang, right?" Zhang Heng Lema said bluntly.
"Well, how do you know?" The old cowboy's face changed drastically when he heard this, he quickly looked around, and said, seeing that no one noticed this side, he was a little relieved.
"Your secret really surprised me." Zhang Heng said, "The sheriff of Glenn Town is actually connected with the notorious Cook Gang."
"You don't know anything, boy, don't comment on other people's past easily, and you weren't there at the time." The old cowboy snorted and said coldly.
"Then tell me, tell me everything that happened back then, so that we can save Matthew." Zhang Heng said.
"I think I made it very clear last time, I will take those past events into my grave." The old cowboy shook his head.
"You are so stubborn and unwilling to cooperate because you insist that Cook will not kill Matthew, but there are worse things in this world than killing a person, and that is to ruin his life. I don't know if Cook and What is Matthew's relationship, but I do know that Cook is messing with Matthew's life. As we speak now, Cook is taking his men and Matthew to Lincoln County, preparing to die for a Needless to say, you know what that means."
"What? Is Cook planning to attack Lincoln County? The county seat of Lincoln County is not a small town like Glenn. The Cook Gang can take it there."
"They didn't want to capture there, as long as they ransacked and left before the town's armed forces reacted, it would be considered a success. Consider bringing Matthew's tension with the town. Do you think that when he and Cook What will the people in the town think when the gang shows up together?"
The old cowboy fell silent upon hearing this.
After waiting for a while, just when Zhang Heng was about to give up, the old cowboy suddenly said, "I know, Cook has always wanted Matthew to be his successor, and he also trained Matthew in this direction before. of."
"My father used to be a member of the Cook Gang?" Wendy asked in shock.
"More than that, I, Matthew, Cook, the three of us are the original members of the Cook Gang, no, we were not called the Cook Gang at that time, but the Lucky Horseshoes, and we did not form the Lucky Horseshoes to burn, kill and loot , but for revenge."
"revenge?"
The old cowboy looked at Wendy, "Your father seldom mentioned the past to you and your mother, right? About his past, before he met your mother, he worked in Cook's ranch, and that's where he met When it came to the love of my life—Mary, they got married, and soon after, Mary was pregnant with a child. At that time, Matthew was like the happiest person in the world, and Matthew and I were good friends. Their first child recognized me as godfather, but no one expected that the misfortune would come so soon."
"Once Cook and Matthew went to sell cattle in a town five hundred miles away. When they returned home, they found that the house had been ransacked and Mary had disappeared. At first they thought it was robbers, but later they found out that The matter was not that simple. All the signs pointed to Ruben, the only son of a director of the Union Pacific Railway Company at that time. That guy was a playboy. , Spoiled, they saw Mary in the town, Ruben couldn't take his eyes off immediately, they molested Mary a few times, but was stopped by Matthew who was rushed.
"However, what Matthew and Cook didn't expect was that as soon as they left the town, Mary was kidnapped by Ruben. They found Ruben and asked him to release Mary first, but Ruben denied it. Moreover, because he was worried that his good deeds would be found out, that bastard went on killing Mary without stopping. It was not until a week later that we found Mary's body in the woods, but the body had been gnawed badly by wild dogs Poor child in her womb, only three months old, and she didn't keep it."
