"We thought about solving this matter through law, but the Union Pacific Railroad Company is very powerful, and it's just a matter of their words whether to build a railway for your town, and the towns with railways develop rapidly, and new immigrants There will be more and more, on the contrary, it is difficult to transport the goods in the town... The place we were in was a small town, and there were only less than fifty people in the town. Get better, and Ruben obviously knows this, so he uses this to blackmail the sheriff of the town, trying to cover up this matter.
The old cowboy seemed to be lost in his memories, he paused and continued, "The sheriff of the town at that time was Mr. Thompson, and he and the people from the Union Pacific Railway Company were completely on the same side, just like their loyal dog, Thompson The medallion insists that Mary was robbed and killed by nearby robbers."
"Then we tried to give Thompson and Union Pacific through the rest of the town, but found out that no one wanted to stand with us at all, and everyone wanted the railroad more than justice was done, and that's why lucky The horseshoe will be born, Cook said to the sheriff of tm, if no one can give us justice, then we will create our own justice.
"... In addition to us, Cook wrote to two of his friends at the time, and they also rushed to town, plus another cowboy who worked for Cook, there were six of us, and the whole of Lucky Horseshoe member."
Hearing this, Zhang Heng interrupted the old cowboy, "Is that horseshoe-shaped mark on your chest left after adding the lucky horseshoe?" Zhang Heng saw this mark when he searched the old cowboy at Hegukou. , I suspect that the latter is related to the main task.
"Yes, that's right," the old cowboy admitted, "Matthew and Cook also had it, but Matthew later cut a scar at that position in order to get rid of this brand. This was a later thing. In short, people After arriving, the six of us covered our faces together, and went to the residence of Ruben and his gang in the dark, intending to kill them all when they were drunk and unsuspecting, but then things began to get out of control... Ruben There were a total of ten people there, except for two playmates, the rest were security personnel assigned to him by his director father, but those guys were all embroidered pillows.
"Matthew rushed to the front and directly killed the only two people in the room who were still awake. Afterwards, we followed suit, but there were two prostitutes in the room besides Ruben. Don't kill those two prostitutes too. I had an argument with Cook. Cook said that they might have been there when Mary was killed, but I said we can't be sure. We are here for revenge, no Come to kill innocent people indiscriminately. When we were arguing, a prostitute tried to sneak out while we were not paying attention, so one of Cook's friends chased her out and shot her. He came back and shot another prostitute Also killed.
"Then... Sergeant Thompson rushed over when he heard the gunshots. He drew his gun and wanted to shoot at me. I had no choice but to kill him before he did. At this point everything was messed up, Cook Tell us that it's too late to step back after this step. Everyone in the town knows the grievances between us and Ruben. When the new sheriff takes office, we will still die. Everyone in the town can be killed."
"So, you really slaughtered the whole town?" Wendy asked.
"That's right, men and women, from old people to children, we shot every living thing we could see, I will always remember that night, everything in front of my eyes was red, we didn't leave a single one alive, before I Having said that we live in a small town, so we all know each other, some even talked to me during the day, and I had to kill them with my own hands that night.
"In the early stage, the battle was almost one-sided, but later, more and more people who heard the gunshots also armed themselves, especially the last two families. They have many sons, and they blocked the gate with tables and beds. Shoot us from the window on the second floor, it was a bloody battle, it lasted until dawn, only me, Matthew and Cook were left in the whole town, and almost everyone was injured, I don't know It's nothing, but it must have gone beyond the scope of revenge."
The eyes of the old cowboy were also full of regret, "Afterwards, the three of us sat in the middle of the town, looked at each other, and no one spoke. Afterwards, Cook dragged his injured leg home, and the money he saved from running the ranch and We split up, and in the afternoon the three of us went our separate ways."
"Both Matthew and I chose to remain anonymous and live an ordinary life. Matthew went to Lincoln County, used the money in his hand to open a ranch, married a wife and had children, and I wandered aimlessly for a while, and finally came to In Glenn Town, two gangsters who harassed and extorted at the bar were expelled, and they were accidentally selected as the sheriff by the locals, and they lived here. As for Cook... I didn't know that he formed The Cook Gang claimed to be responsible for the previous events in the town. I know he was protecting us, especially Matthew. Cook liked Matthew very much and always regarded him as his son, especially after Mary died. Matthew is Cook's only relative in this world.
"I don't know why he wanted to break Matthew's peaceful life. More than ten years have passed since what happened at that time. It doesn't make sense." The old cowboy frowned.
"But he did find Matthew." Zhang Heng said, "If you want to stop him, you have to stop them before they reach Lincoln County. There are fifteen people on my side, and they can reach Glenn Town in the afternoon. How much can you make up over there?"
The people Zhang Heng was looking for were the miners and farmers in Bliss, and he couldn’t seek help from other law enforcement officers. Fortunately, after a long night of negotiations, the people in Bliss finally reached a preliminary consensus, and the library should be solved first. Ke helped this external threat, and they selected fifteen people with the best marksmanship. Zhang Heng and Wendy took the first step and came to Glenn Town to look for the old cowboy, and they followed closely behind.
"Four, that's the four people you met that day." The old cowboy said, "Only they are the ones you can completely trust."
"Sorry, are you talking about the guy I tied up and threw on the side of the road?" Wendy muttered, "Can that guy be trusted? He doesn't look much older than me."
"It's better than nothing. In this way, we will have 20 people. Although we are a bit disadvantaged in terms of numbers, we can fight anyway." Zhang Heng took over the conversation.
