Chapter 353: Misunderstanding
Although they have only been working together for less than half a day, the two began to have doubts about each other, Wendy suspected that she had bought a fake, and Zhang Heng began to think about how effective the promise of a girl from a stilt family was, and whether she could get the final reward as she wished.
However, for Wendy, she has no other choice, since she has chosen Zhang Heng, she can only go to the end with her eyes closed, and Zhang Heng has no opinion for the time being because she can learn new knowledge and skills, and she can convert it into a part of the remuneration.
In order not to sleep in the wild, the two of them still sped up in the afternoon, in fact, Zhang Heng couldn't speed up at all, after all, he came to Lincoln County alone, but running radishes will increase the difficulty of control, and at the same time, it will also increase the risk of accidents, and the taste of rushing is not good.
But that's nothing compared to sleeping on the grass.
Eventually, the two arrived at Glen at about seven p.m.
"Here." Wendy pointed to a bar in the middle of town, "My dad always told me about their apple pie and that he would ask for one every time he passed by, and sometimes bring one for us and my mom. ”
Zhang Heng nodded, "According to what we said before, you go inside and ask when your father last appeared, and if he passed by here on the way back, I will go to the hotel in the town to book two rooms." ”
It's not that Zhang Heng doesn't want to ask himself, but considering what happened to him after entering the bar last time, he still decided to keep a low profile as much as possible, and leave the part of communicating with people to Wendy to complete, although the latter is only twelve years old, but judging from the short time the two have been together, the rancher's daughter is very organized and speaks, revealing a maturity far beyond her age.
The environment has a big impact on this.
Her father had to be away for a considerable period of time every time he went out to sell cattle, and she had to take care of the horses and cattle left over from the pasture, as well as her mother, which, combined with the hostility of the townspeople, allowed her to stand on her own at a young age.
"Okay." Wendy nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”
"See you at the hotel." Zhang Hengdao.
In fact, the inn and bar in Glen Town were very close, and after the two separated, Zhang Heng paid for the accommodation and let people take care of the lightning and turnips, and then he went up to his house, pulled out his revolver, and took advantage of this time to do a simple maintenance.
However, a quarter of an hour passed, and he didn't see Wendy go upstairs, Zhang Heng waited another five minutes, got up and walked downstairs.
…………
Wendy carefully avoided horse manure and what appeared to be vomit under her feet and pushed open the door to the tavern.
A woman in a fancy dress near the door saw her and said, "This is not the place for children. ”
"I'm not a child anymore, ma'am." Wendy said.
"I'm not a lady either." The woman smiled.
"Oh, you're the ...... What the. Wendy snapped, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to discriminate against you. ”
"It's okay, you're dressed badly, are your parents abusing you? Fortunately, your foundation is not bad, maybe when you are older, if you want to escape the boring life of your husband and children, you can come here to find me. ”
"Thank you, but I don't think that's possible." After Wendy finished speaking, she paused and said, "Actually, I'm here to ask about something. ”
"A lot of people come to the bar to ask about something, and they usually buy me a glass of wine first, but for the sake of fellow women, your glass of wine is free." The woman in the dress nodded at Wendy, "Is there anything you want to ask?" ”
"I'd like to inquire about a man named Matthew Robbins, who is a rancher, who should have passed by here fourteen days ago, wearing a gray shirt, old looking boots, about thirty-five years old, with a resolute gaze, and a scar on his left abdomen, and may have passed by here in the last few days, I don't know if you still have an impression."
"All I can say is that there's definitely no guy named Matthew among the men I've been up to." "I'm sorry, I don't spend every minute in the bar, I'll go up to the second floor when I have work, fourteen days ago...... Let me think about it, my business seemed to be fine that day, maybe he came in while I was working. ”
The woman in the flower skirt slammed at the bar, "Maybe you can ask the bartender over there, he's been staying here." ”
"Thank you, husband...... Oh, sorry. ”
Wendy squeezed a smile out of her face, but before she could move, she felt a tap on her back.
"Why, is this the newcomer you told me about coming two days ago, the age is even younger than expected, is it really 16 years old?"
The person who came was a man who smelled of tobacco and had a frivolous demeanor.
"Ah, there's some misunderstanding, Bacchus, this young lady isn't the Maggie I told you before." Seeing Wendy's face change suddenly, the woman in the dotted skirt also realized that something bad was wrong, and hurriedly stood up to play a round.
Bacchus shrugged when he heard this, "It doesn't matter, she can do it, although it's ugly, but it's better than ...... young."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the client he had appointed suddenly took out a knife from his pocket and stabbed him, fortunately Bacchus reacted quickly, and blocked it with his hand at the critical moment, so as to avoid being disemboweled, but the knife was stabbed into his hand, and it was pierced quite deeply, almost piercing his palm.
Bacchus let out a foul mouth in pain.
The woman in the dress also covered her mouth when she saw this scene, and hurriedly walked up and said, "Oh, Mr. Bacchus, are you okay, I said it was a misunderstanding." ”
However, she was pushed away by Bacchus's rough hand, and her waist slammed into a nearby table, spilling the glasses of the other two drinkers.
"Royce, what's wrong with your people!" Bacchus said furiously, he drew the knife he had stuck in his hand, and blood poured out of the wound and dripped onto the floor, ticking and ticking, and it was almost a stream.
"Mr. Bacchus, your injuries need to be dealt with by the town's doctors." Royce didn't care about the pain in her lower back, and hurriedly persuaded that although she and Wendy met for the first time, she had a good impression of this girl, but she didn't expect the latter's reaction to be so strong.
In her opinion, this was originally just a small misunderstanding, originally it would be fine as long as it was explained clearly, but now the situation has been infinitely escalated with that knife, and she even saw a trace of killing intent in Bacchus's eyes, and it is pointless to think about how to become this scene now, the top priority is to ensure Wendy's safety first, and not to let Bacchus, who is angry, do anything stupid.
