"Kenny!"
"Wal!"
"Manuel?!"
The hunchbacked old man raised his voice, calling the names of his three subordinates, but no one answered outside the house.
It wasn't until half a minute later that there was another knock on the door.
"Playing tricks." The hunchbacked old man sneered, he didn't say any more nonsense, he directly pulled the trigger, and shot all the bullets in the pistol. This time, the opponent really shot himself in the foot. If he didn't With this move, the hunchbacked old man really didn't know where he was, but now the knock on the door was equivalent to exposing his position, and the thin wooden board couldn't stop the pouring bullets at all.
But in the blink of an eye, the hunchbacked old man emptied the magazine of a pistol, and when the white smoke from the muzzle cleared, there was finally no movement outside.
The hunchbacked old man threw the pistol that was out of bullets to Matthew, and said at the same time, "Go, open the door, and take a look outside."
Matthew hesitated for a moment. He knew that the hunchbacked old man wanted to use him as a bait, but seeing that the latter turned his gun on his wife again, he could only pick up the unloaded pistol and lifted the kerosene on the table. light, go outside.
At this moment, Jane didn't care about her own safety, and ran to her daughter quickly, checked her injured hand, and then opened the cabinet to look for gauze that could be used for wrapping.
However, Wendy endured the pain, and glanced at the shadow under the cabinet from time to time. She hid the bullets of the shotgun there, and was thinking of finding a chance to load the bullets into the chamber.
But at the next moment, the hunchbacked old man's words shattered her last illusion, "Honey, you'd better not make any small moves, otherwise it won't be your hand that was injured. Now, kick me with the shotgun."
Wendy heard the words and could only kick the shotgun on the ground unwillingly.
The hunchbacked old man stepped on it with his left foot, and then turned his head to look at Matthew who was walking to the gate. The latter took a deep breath and opened the door full of bullet holes.
Outside, there were no gunshots.
"How? Did you see his body?" asked the hunchbacked old man.
"No, there are only three corpses outside, and they are all your subordinates," Matthew said.
"Where's the blood?"
Matthew moved the kerosene lamp in his hand closer, "Uh, I don't know, there are a lot of blood on the ground, but it looks like it was left by your people."
"Well, it looks like I'm going to meet him in person." The hunchbacked old man's expression didn't change when he heard the words, "It just so happens that I haven't exercised my muscles for a long time."
As a result, as soon as his words fell, the long-lost gunshot rang out again, smashing the kerosene lamp in Matthew's hand. The hunchbacked old man reacted quickly, and as soon as his ears moved, he immediately caught the direction of the gunshot. Rolled to the door and raised his gun to shoot there.
However, the next moment a figure flashed past the window and smashed another kerosene lamp in the room.
The room then plunged into darkness.
The hunchbacked old man kicked over a table for cover, grabbed Wendy's mother and leaned against him, and shouted towards the door.
"And then? There's no light, so I can't see you, but you can't see me either, and I still have hostages in my hands. It seems that we are at an impasse now. Why don't we come and have a chat?"
The hunchbacked old man paused, and then asked, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with the Matthew family? Why do you care about this?"
"..."
There was still silence outside the door, and the visitor seemed to have made up his mind and did not intend to speak.
The hunchbacked old man didn't take it seriously, and continued, "Well, let me tell you how things will develop next... You killed three of my men, and I should also kill the hostages to show fairness, or... we can also use A gentleman's way to resolve this dispute, how about me and you one-on-one? Your marksmanship is good, and I'm just an old man. We have a duel, and you have a great advantage. As long as you kill me, you will This family can be saved."
"..."
"Tsk tsk, it seems that you are a person who doesn't like to talk, but it doesn't matter. I am a very patient person. I will give you half a minute. If you don't speak after half a minute, I will kill the woman in my hand."
As soon as the room was plunged into darkness, Wendy squatted down immediately, endured the pain and started groping on the ground. She didn't know who the person outside was, and whether she was the opponent of the hunchbacked old man, but pinned her hopes on others Never been her style.
After a while, she touched the bullet box under the cabinet, and then crawled lightly towards the direction of the shotgun.
Along the way, she not only had to find a gun, but also carefully avoided the sundries on the ground and made sure not to make any movement. Probably only she knew about the difficulties. However, when she finally touched the shotgun and wanted to fill it with bullets When it was put in, there was another gunshot in my ear.
Wendy stayed where she was.
Her spirit has been highly tense, and her concept of time has long been confused. She doesn't know how long it has passed, whether it has reached the half-minute deadline, but she feels as if some warm liquid splashed on her face.
until the lights come back on.
She saw the scene in front of her again. What she was most worried about did not happen. Although her mother looked terrified and trembling, she didn't seem to be in any serious trouble. On the contrary, the hunchbacked old man next to her had an extra one on her head. The muzzle fell in a pool of blood.
And what splashed on her face just now was the blood of the hunchbacked old man, perhaps mixed with some brains.
At the stairs on the second floor, Zhang Heng retracted his gun.
At the same time, I also got two system prompts, one was about the main mission, and the other was the thirty game points received after killing the hunchbacked old man.
Among them, the second half of the main mission is to find the lucky horseshoe. Zhang Heng met the old cowboy before, and then met Matthew and the old man with a hunchback. finished.
This task is actually not as difficult as imagined. Strictly speaking, there is no need to go through any battles, as long as you find three people, but in fact, the possibility of encountering Cook and his Cook gang without fighting is very small.
Zhang Heng looked at Wendy downstairs who was still in a daze, and told her, "It's all right."
Wendy heard the words but acted as if she didn't hear them. She still held the shotgun tightly in her hand and pointed at Cook's body on the ground.
Zhang Heng went downstairs, came to the girl, held the barrel of the gun with one hand, and carefully opened Wendy's fingers with the other, "Okay, it's all right, he's dead, the people from the Cook Gang There should not be many left, Sheriff Dolan is chasing the rest with his men, your family is safe."
