Chapter 608 Misunderstanding
Although they had only worked together for less than half a day, both of them began to have doubts about each other. Wendy suspected that she had bought a fake product, while Zhang Heng began to think about how effective a promise from a girl who cheated her family was, and whether he could get what he wanted. to the final reward.
But for Wendy, she had no other choice. Since she chose Zhang Heng, she could only go to the end with her eyes closed. Since Zhang Heng could learn new knowledge and skills, she had no problem with it being converted into part of the reward for the time being.
In order not to sleep in the wild, the two of them speeded up in the afternoon. In fact, Zhang Heng could not speed up at all. After all, he had come to Lincoln County alone. However, running around would increase the difficulty of control and increase the encounter. There are unexpected risks, and the feeling of being on the road is unpleasant.
But these are nothing compared to sleeping on the grass.
In the end, the two arrived at Glen Town at about 7 p.m.
"Here." Wendy pointed to a bar in the center of the town. "My father always told me about this place, saying that their apple pie was delicious. Every time he passed by here, he would ask for one, and sometimes he would give it to me. Mom and I will also bring one."
Zhang Heng nodded, "As we agreed before, you go inside and ask your father when he last appeared and whether he passed by here on his way back. I'll book two rooms at a hotel in the town."
It's not that Zhang Heng didn't want to ask himself, but considering what happened to him last time he entered the bar, he decided to keep a low profile as much as possible and leave the communication part to Wendy. Although the latter was only twelve years old, Judging from the short time they spent together, the rancher's daughter was very organized in everything she did and spoke, revealing a maturity far beyond her years.
The environment has a great influence on this.
Her father would be away for a long time every time he went out to sell cattle. At this time, she had to take care of the remaining horses and cattle in the pasture, as well as her mother. Coupled with the hostility of the town people, she became ill at a young age. Can stand alone.
"Okay." Wendy nodded, "Don't worry, just leave it to me."
"Then let's meet at the hotel." Zhang Heng said.
In fact, the hotel and the bar in Glen Town are very close. After the two separated, Zhang Heng paid the accommodation fee and asked someone to take care of Lightning and Carrot. After that, he went up to his room, pulled out his revolver, and took advantage of this time to do something. A simple maintenance.
However, a quarter of an hour later, he did not see Wendy going upstairs. Zhang Heng waited for another five minutes, got up and walked downstairs.

Wendy carefully avoided the horse manure and what looked like vomit at her feet, and pushed open the door of the tavern.
A woman in a floral skirt near the door saw her and said, "This is not a place for children."
"I'm not a child anymore, madam." Wendy said.
"I'm not a lady either." The woman smiled.
"Oh, you are that...what." Wendy suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to discriminate against you."
"It doesn't matter, your dressing is terrible. Are your parents abusing you? Fortunately, your foundation is not bad. Maybe when you are older and want to escape the boring life of being a husband and raising children, you can come here to find me. ."
"Thank you, but I don't think there is such a possibility." After Wendy finished speaking, she paused and said, "Actually, I came here to inquire about something."
"Many people come to the bar to inquire about something. At this time, they usually buy me a glass of wine first, but for the sake of being a woman, your glass of wine is exempted." The woman in the floral skirt He nodded to Wendy, "Do you have anything to ask?"
"I want to ask about a man named Matthew Robbins. He is a rancher. He should have passed through here fourteen days ago. He was wearing a gray shirt and old-looking boots. He was about thirty-five years old. , with firm eyes and a scar on his left abdomen. He may have passed by here in the past few days. I wonder if you still have any impressions."
"I can only say that among the men I have slept with, there is definitely no guy named Matthew." The woman in the floral skirt said, "Sorry, I don't stay in the bar every minute. If I have work to do, I will go up to the second floor. Fourteen days ago...let me think about it, my business seemed to be pretty good that day, maybe he came in while I was working."
The woman in the floral skirt pouted at the bar, "Maybe you can ask the bartender over there, he's been staying here."
"Thank you, husband...oh, sorry."
Wendy forced a smile on her face, but before she could move, she felt someone pat her somewhere behind her.
"Why, is this the new guy you told me about two days ago? He's younger than you thought. Is he really 16 years old?"
The person who came was a man who smelled of tobacco and behaved frivolously.
"Ah, there are some misunderstandings, Bacchus, this lady is not the Maggie I told you before." The woman in the floral skirt saw the sudden change in Wendy's face and realized that something was wrong, so she quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
Bacchus shrugged upon hearing this, "It doesn't matter, she's fine too. Although she's a little ugly, she's better than being young..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the person he had chosen to serve suddenly take out a knife from his pocket and stab him. Fortunately, Bacchus reacted quickly and blocked the blow with his hand at the critical moment, and was able to avoid it. He was disemboweled, but the knife pierced his hand, and it was quite deep, almost piercing his palm.
Bacchus cursed in pain.
The woman in the floral skirt also covered her mouth when she saw this scene, and quickly came up and said, "Oh, Mr. Bacchus, are you okay? I told you this was a misunderstanding."
However, she was roughly pushed away by Bacchus, and her waist hit a table next to her. She also spilled the wine glasses of two other drinkers.
"Royce, what the hell is wrong with your people!" Bacchus said angrily. He pulled out the knife stuck in his hand. Blood immediately poured out from the wound and dripped on the floor. , almost forming a stream.
"Mr. Bacchus, you need to get your injury treated by a doctor in town as soon as possible." Royce quickly advised regardless of the pain in her waist. Although she met Wendy for the first time, her impression of this girl was still there. Yes, but she didn't expect the latter's reaction to be so strong.
In her opinion, this was just a small misunderstanding. Originally, it would be fine as long as it was explained clearly. Now the situation has escalated infinitely with that knife. She even saw a killing intent in Bacchus's eyes. Now she is thinking about how to change it. This scene has no meaning anymore. The top priority is to ensure Wendy's safety first and prevent Bacchus from doing anything stupid when he is angry.
