Chapter 610 You Are Too Young

"Thank you, Sheriff, for coming to our rescue. Although I still have doubts about the last 20 yuan in compensation, we are not unreasonable people. We understand your difficulties and maintaining law and order in a town is not easy. Something about it." After Bacchus and his group left, Wendy said to the sheriff.

The latter was amused by the girl's adult-like words and smiled, "I'm glad you can understand and cooperate with my work. Madam, your father is not so reasonable..."

However, he seemed to realize that he had let something slip, and a look of annoyance appeared on the old cowboy's face.

"Wait, you know me and my father, how is this possible?" Wendy's eyes widened.

"Your father and I are friends. He loves you very much and has shown me your photos several times." At this point, the Sheriff had no choice but to admit.

"But I've never heard my father mention you."

"Well, maybe this is because each of us has a past that we don't want to mention."

"What happened?" Wendy asked.

"I'm afraid what I don't want to mention is that I don't want other people to know these things." The Sheriff said.

"Please, my father is missing now, and it may be related to what you said." Wendy said.

"Your father disappeared, when?" The Sheriff was stunned.

"I don't know the specific time. Just fifteen days ago, he said he had a business to discuss and left home. My mother and I thought that this time it would be the same as usual. He would come back after a few days, and he did the same. He told us, but now it’s beyond the deadline he promised, and he still hasn’t come home.”

"So is this why you ran out? Wait, does your mother know that you are in Glenn Town now?" The Sheriff said while glancing at Zhang Heng beside him.

"Mr. Zhang Heng was hired by me to help me find my father, and he was also responsible for protecting my safety along the way." Wendy introduced, "He is an excellent gunner."

"Really? The outstanding gunmen I know all ended badly. On the contrary, those who don't carry guns live longer."

"I disagree with this. If I had a gun, what just happened wouldn't have happened." Wendy said.

The old cowboy smiled and did not refute. Some things were beyond the understanding of young people of this age. He said sincerely, "You should go home. Your father's affairs will be taken care of by himself. You just need to Just wait at home."

"But unfortunately, I am not the kind of person who sits at home, waits for bad things to happen, and then accepts it." Wendy said stubbornly, "If the storm comes, I will walk into the storm. , so whether you are willing to help me or not, I will continue to look for my father."

"But you're only twelve."

"Twelve is old enough, Sheriff."

The Sheriff was speechless, and after a while he said, "How about this? I still have some important things on hand and I really can't get away. Give me a week and I will find your father for you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I've been delayed for a long time. I'm afraid I can't wait another week. I think it's better for me to do this myself." Wendy refused politely but firmly.

"With all due respect, Wendy, you are too young and don't understand the world, especially those... dark corners, where you know people and faces but don't know what they know. You can't just pick up someone and go on the road with them." Sheriff Let's just say it this time.

"Mr. Zhang Heng is a good man. I don't need to live to be as old as you to see this. But you, Mr. Sheriff, suddenly appeared and claimed to know my father, but my father never You have been mentioned to me, how should I believe you and what you said." Wendy paused, "Maybe my father's disappearance is related to you."

"What a sharp mouth." The old cowboy was not angry when he was questioned. Instead, he laughed and said, "Matthew did give birth to a good daughter. Well, it seems that I can't stop you, madam, but please at least tomorrow Let me give you a ride when we set off. You have just offended Bacchus. He and his former ranger friends still have quite a lot of influence in the area."

"Thank you, Sheriff. When I find my father, I will tell him what you did to save me tonight."

…………

After such an incident happened, Wendy could no longer inquire about her father's whereabouts at the bar. She bid farewell to the old cowboy sheriff, ordered two apple pies, and returned to the hotel with Zhang Heng.

"You should listen to him." Zhang Heng said, "Now it seems that there may be another secret behind your father's disappearance. Since he is hiding it from you, he doesn't want you to know."

"Then you won't get your pay."

"I can also do other bounties to make money," Zhang Heng said calmly, "Also, do you remember what I said before?"

"You told that guy never to leave the county if you could?"

"It's not that sentence. Earlier, I told you not to get into trouble. You promised me, and that's why I asked you to go to the bar to investigate."

"I didn't cause any trouble. I told you that he touched me first." Wendy emphasized.

"Then you turned around and pulled out your knife, intending to stab him to death?"

"My father told you that when you are the shortest and weakest person in the room, you have to act the toughest so that others will not dare to mess with you because they know there will be a price to pay."

"Then you were pressed on the table and almost cut off your palm." Zhang Heng stopped and looked into Wendy's eyes. "Hey, kid, listen, I can't guarantee that it will be just right every time." It appeared when you were in the most danger, and you could have come back to me to deal with it."

Wendy was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said, "People in the town don't like our family. My father is often absent and my mother is not very literate. I am used to solving everything by myself."

"But didn't you pay me just to let me solve these things for you?" Zhang Heng said, "You must promise me not to be so reckless again if you encounter such a thing again, otherwise I will kill you send home."

"We have an agreement. You promise to help me find my father." Wendy protested after hearing this.

"Yes, but the agreement also stipulates that everything must be obeyed by me, so this means that when I say stop, we have to stop, and when I feel that we can't go any further, we go home .”

"This is too cunning." Wendy said dissatisfied, "It's just a scam."

"It's okay for you to understand this way. Come on, follow me now, sir, I know I was wrong, and I will choose other ways to solve the problem in the future."

"…………"

"You'd better say it quickly, or I'll leave you with the Sheriff. It seems like he's quite interested in sending you home."

"I know I was wrong, and I will choose other ways to solve the problem in the future." Wendy twisted her neck and whispered reluctantly.

"Very good. I'm glad that we have reached an agreement again. Take your share of the apple pie back to your room to eat. We will get up early tomorrow morning and set off on our way." Zhang Heng said, "Also, I will help you with the 20 dollars." The advance payment must be recorded in your account and paid to me together with the settlement."

Are there any monthly passes? Can I get into the top 100 at once? (???????)
