Do you know how to use it, kid? " said the hunchbacked old man.
"Of course, I have a very good teacher. He is so good with marksmanship. He can put ten heavily armed men face to face by himself. If he is here tonight, I bet you and your lackeys can't get in at all. He knocked down the door of my house." Wendy said.
"Wow... That's such a pity. It's a pity that he's not here tonight. Otherwise, I'd be curious about what this gunman, who can outnumber ten, looks like. Does he have three heads and six arms?" Cook said leisurely.
"It's okay, you don't have to feel sorry, I'm enough to deal with you with his students. Although I'm not as good as my teacher, I'm still a sharpshooter." Wendy puffed her chest out, "I can shoot fifty yards away when I'm hunting. Running hare, let alone at such a close distance, as long as I pull the trigger, there will be a hole in your chest in the next second, the bullet will tear your flesh and heart, and then you will fall to the ground and howl , but don't worry, this process won't take too long, because you'll be going to hell soon, you bloody old bastard with a hunchback!" Wendy spat on the ground after she finished speaking.
"Oh," Cook raised his eyebrows. He was stunned and didn't speak for half a minute. After half a minute, he blinked and said again, "I have to admit... the declaration just now was quite exciting. , child, especially the last swearing, you are much more straightforward than your father who is full of benevolence and morality. It’s not that I didn’t give him a chance along the way. When I slept, I deliberately turned my back to him. If he is cruel enough, He should have snatched my gun so that he could hold me hostage and win the initiative for himself, but in the end he let me down. He only had the idea of running away, but he didn't know that in this world, you don't even know what to do. There is nowhere to escape, because people cannot escape fate."
"I don't know your nonsense about brooks and salmon, I only know that bullets can't run away from you." Wendy said coldly.
"Well, on this point, I can't agree more." The hunchbacked old man paused, "It seems that we have reached an impasse now, you have a gun, and I have a gun. Let me tell you what will happen next , child... I shoot, kill your parents, you shoot me, if your marksmanship is really as good as you say, and then the gunshot makes the three men outside my house rush in, of course, they see Seeing the bloody scene inside, they will pull out their guns without hesitation and shoot at you, you shoot back, if you are lucky, you may pull some unlucky ghosts on your back, and then you will be hit by bullets, trust me, it hurts Yes. Especially considering it's your first time being hit by a bullet.
"If you get shot... well, the process is similar to what you described before, if you're special and the bullet hits you, you won't die for a while, and that's the worst part, you Will lie on the cold floor, bleeding while waiting for death, so desperate and lonely, with your mother's body on your left and your father's on your right, in a sense your family is reunited, And then you see the dead body of me in the middle, the hunchbacked old bastard, and oh, things start to get nasty."
"Have you finished?" Wendy said calmly. Although she was trying her best to restrain the panic in her heart, she had to admit that what the hunchbacked old man said before did hit her weak spot. What she feared most was that her parents would die in front of her. In front of her, just thinking about that scene made her hand holding the gun tremble slightly, and her body also became stiff.
But this is not the worst, what's worse is that she knows that she can't even achieve this goal of dying together.
Not to mention that she exaggerated her marksmanship and applied the old cowboy's words to describe Joseph to herself. After all, Wendy is still somewhat sure of hitting the hunchbacked old man at such a short distance.
But what really kills her is that she has no bullets in her gun.
Although Wendy stole the gun and the bullets, she didn't have time to reload them. She originally wanted to return the keys and ride Lightning to the town to find a bright place to slowly reload the bullets, but she didn't expect Cook Instead, he came directly to her home.
The latter sat down in the living room, and she almost couldn't even pull out the gun, let alone reload it.
So she's been bluffing so far.
"Are you nervous, child?" The hunchbacked old man's demonic eyes seemed to be able to see directly into her heart.
Sweat dripped from Wendy's forehead to the tip of her nose. She said stubbornly, "I'm not nervous. At worst, we'll break up. At least I can see you die before me. I've avenged my parents." , it makes me feel good."
"Fine, fine, look, Matthew, this is what I keep saying, even your daughter knows, you have to look fate in the eye and fight that son of a bitch, It's a pity..." The hunchbacked old man looked at Wendy with regret on his face, "You are a girl, and I don't have so long to train you, otherwise I would just take you away, but I am in a good mood now, I decided to do you a little favor."
"What's a little favor?" Wendy swallowed.
"I know you are suffering now and don't know what to do. It's okay, my child. Just leave this kind of matter to me. What I'm good at is dealing with this kind of stalemate." , if you don't put the gun down, I will pull the trigger and kill your parents whether you will shoot or not, of course, you can also try your luck and kill me before that, we can compare fingers Speed, this should be quite fun."
Although Wendy kept telling herself in her heart that the hunchbacked old man opposite her was also playing psychological tactics with her, trying to overwhelm her with arrogance, she could tell from the latter's cold eyes that the other party was not bluffing. .
"10." The hunchbacked old man said casually.
At this moment, Wendy only felt helpless like never before. She didn't know what else she could do next, raised her gun and surrendered? Or would she hang on to the end and watch her parents get killed? She has done everything she can, but she still can't change the tragedy that is about to happen. Although she keeps telling herself to be strong and not let the enemy on the other side see her weakness, tears still flow from the corners of her eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay, Wendy, you've done a good job, and your mother and I are proud of you." Matthew said softly, then looked at Cook again, as if he had made up his mind, " Let them go, and I'll go with you."
"No, it has to follow my plan. I don't believe your verbal promise, Matthew. I will kill your wife and take your daughter away. This condition will not change. Of course, if your daughter is stubborn to the end, I can only kill you together, you know my Matthew, I always do what I say, although unfortunately, I have always regarded you as my son, I have lost a daughter, you do not know At this age, losing another son will be a big blow to me, and my heart is full of grief." The hunchbacked old man said leisurely, "9."
Tears blurred Wendy's eyes. She only felt that the shotgun in her hand was extremely heavy, and she couldn't lift it anymore, as if it would fall from her hand in the next second, but at the end when her strength was about to run out For a moment, there was a gunshot from outside the house, followed by two more gunshots, almost connected together, with a few screams and the sound of someone falling to the ground.
After that, everything returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.
Only the whistling night wind blows.
"What the hell is that?" The hunchbacked old man frowned. He was not in the mood to play any more games with Wendy. Taking advantage of Wendy's confusion, he shot her directly in the palm of his hand, and the shotgun slipped from her palm. Afterwards, the hunchbacked old man turned his gun in the direction of the gate.
