Chapter 377: Quick Battle
Zhang Heng has no interest in playing Westerns with Cook in each of the ten steps and standing facing each other, and after giving an order, they shoot each other passionately.
Although this kind of thing sounds very stylish.
Zhang Heng didn't think that his marksmanship would necessarily be worse than Kuke's, but the environment in which the two practiced marksmanship was different, and Zhang Heng studied under Simon. Specializes in long-range sniping rather than quick draw-and-gun shooting between western cowboys.
In fact, even if Zhang Heng is good at drawing a gun and firing quickly, unless he has to, he will not put a better [filter lens] and fight with Cook for speed.
No matter how good this kind of thing is, as long as there are too many times, there will always be a time to overturn.
Because no matter how fast you are, there will always be someone in this world who is faster than you.
In addition, Zhang Heng estimated that Cook's shouting at him for a duel may not be true, and there is something hidden in the back, but now all this is no longer important.
Zhang Heng didn't have any idea of a duel from the beginning.
After neatly solving the three people outside the house, he leaned against the wall, knocked on the door with the butt of his gun, attracted Cook's attention, and after solving the only two light sources, he quickly walked around the back of the house and climbed directly to the second floor using his climbing skills.
Judging by the surrounding arrangement, it was Wendy's room that he should have turned into.
However, unlike the other girls' rooms, there are not many dolls in it, but there are many carved ponies and knights in wood.
Zhang Heng also heard Cook's shout, he didn't stay in the room for too long, gently pushed the door open, and came to the staircase along the corridor, where the [filter lens] below was unobstructed.
Zhang Heng picked up the Winchester rifle in his hand and ended the battle cleanly.
The whole process takes less than a minute.
Cook didn't know where the deadly bullet came from until he died.
…………
"Allow me to express my gratitude to you for saving our family's life."
Because it was very late, Zhang Heng spent the night at Matthew's house.
The next morning, as everyone sat down at the table, Matthew brought up the events of last night again, his face full of gratitude.
"Oh, you're welcome, I'm just fulfilling my contract with my employer." Zhang Heng took a sip of milk and said, "After all, only a living employer can pay." ”
"What contract?" Matthew was a little surprised.
"This ......" Zhang Heng put down the cup and took out the contract Wendy had signed with him before leaving from his arms.
Matthew took the contract and looked at it, "Eighty dollars in honor, twenty dollars in debt, plus a good horse...... These are no problem and I can pay you right now. ”
"That couldn't be better." Zhang Heng raised his glass again, "...... Happy to work with. ”
At this moment, Wendy suddenly said, "Wait." ”
"What's the matter, do you have any questions?" Zhang Heng asked.
Wendy's luck is good, the shot in her left hand before, the bullet grazed her bones and passed through, and she went to the doctor to deal with it, and it was not a big deal, but it would leave a scar, and her mother was worried that it would affect her future marriage, but Wendy herself didn't care.
"That contract is wrong." Wendy said solemnly.
"Do you want to go back?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"No, you left something behind." Wendy said, "I said that if you help my father get rid of the Cook Gang, I'll give you half of the land on the family's ranch and the cattle on the land." She said as she looked at her father, "Can I be the master, Daddy?" ”
"Well......" Matthew thought for a moment, "I'm not at home, and you're my eldest daughter, so that also means...... You can dispose of our family assets as needed, congratulations, Mr. Zhang Heng, you are also a rancher in Lincoln County now, in fact, when I bought the land, I bought too much, I can't take care of such a large area by myself, if it is divided into two ranches, it should be more appropriate. Matthew raised his glass.
"Are you sure?" Zhang Heng put down the knife and fork in his hand, although he was not a good person in the strict sense like Shen Xixi, but he was too lazy to take advantage of the fire on a little ghost and take advantage of anything, so Wendy's previous promise he didn't really take it to heart.
"Of course," said Cook, "you said before that the Cook Gang was basically wiped out, but there were still a few people who escaped, and as soon as Cook died, I don't think the Cook Gang could make a comeback, but the few people who ran away still have the possibility of coming back for revenge, and we can rest assured that we can have a powerful gunslinger like you as a neighbor, right, Jane?" Cook looked at his wife.
The latter nodded when he heard this, and smiled at Zhang Heng, "Matthew is right, what happened last night is really terrible, if it weren't for your timely arrival, sir, I don't think I would still be able to sit here this morning, I hope you can stay, and we can also take care of each other." ”
However, when Zhang Heng heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "That, actually...... I don't raise cows. ”
"I don't care, I can teach you." Matthew said briskly, "And equestrianism, I've heard Wendy talk about some things about you, I can't say that my equestrian skills are the best, but at least there should be no one within a radius of 100 miles who knows horses better than me, and before that, your herd can continue to be raised by me." ”
"That's ...... Wouldn't it be a little too generous? Zhang Heng asked.
"What I can give in return is nothing compared to what you have done for us." Matthew said sincerely.
…………
After breakfast, the old cowboy and the drunkard sheriff also came to the ranch together.
Before the drunkard sheriff arrived, he began to shout, "What about Cook, where is Cook's body?" ”
"In the barn, sheriff." Matthew said.
However, at this time, the drunkard sheriff was not in a hurry, he turned over and dismounted, glanced at Zhang Heng on the other side, and snorted, "You killed the person?" ”
"Yes Sheriff."
"Don't be complacent, Oriental, the only reason why Cook has survived to this day is because I have never come forward to hunt him down, and I could have taken down five people with one gun." The drunken sheriff said as he took another sip of whiskey.
At this time, Wendy on the side couldn't help but say, "Zhang Heng can kill ten people with one gun, I saw it with my own eyes." ”
“…………”
The drunkard sheriff was choked and didn't say anything for a long time, after all, this is what he is most proud of, and he blows it whenever he meets people, but in this matter he was killed by Zhang Hengshuang.
"People are different, you'll know when you grow up, little girl." The drunkard sheriff finally made such an excuse for himself, then looked at Zhang Heng again, and coughed twice, "Since you killed Cook, then the unpleasantness that happened before is over, on behalf of the residents of Lincoln County, I welcome you to settle here, you can live here for as long as you want, but remember, don't cause trouble, it doesn't matter if you fight or something, I will arrest you mercilessly if you get killed." ”
"No one is more law-abiding than I am, Sergeant." Zhang Hengdao.
"Very well, let's go see Cook's body now, but it will take two weeks for the person sent from above to verify his identity, and once it is confirmed that this is Cook himself, you can come to me to receive the reward."
"Is there still a bounty?" Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "I don't seem to have seen a similar reward outside the police station." ”
"The Cook Gang has been notorious for many years, and there are many people, and the general local armed forces have no way to take them, for fear of being retaliated against by them, the town does not dare to post their bounty, but the bounty is indeed there, and it is not a lot...... Damn, I don't have that kind of good luck, if Cook were standing in front of me, I'd shoot that old bastard into a hornet's nest. The drunken sheriff complained.
