Chapter 613 Because...I Am Happy?
"Chief, I saw his accomplice, should I shoot?" Jonathan said nervously on the rock wall.
"Of course not, you idiot, she is only 12 years old. Do you want to go to the gallows? Put your gun away and get out of here." The old cowboy said.
"Yes, Sheriff." Jonathan was relieved when he heard this and climbed down in a hurry.
Zhang Heng did not remove the knife from the old cowboy's neck.
"Give them your gun." The old cowboy snorted again.
So Jonathan handed the rifle in his hand to Wendy.
"Are you satisfied now?" the old cowboy said coldly.
Zhang Heng nodded, "But you may not be very satisfied with what I will do next."
The old cowboy seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed, "You dare?"
However, as soon as he said these words, gunfire rang out, and then the old cowboy saw his beloved white horse lying in a pool of blood.
"Sorry, I have to make sure you don't catch up again. After all, I don't really want to go to the police station to drink coffee." Zhang Heng did not stop and killed Jonathan's horse.
The old cowboy looked pained, "Then why don't you kill your old horse and ride away on my good horse?"
"Because... I'm happy?" After brutally murdering two poor hard-working animals, Zhang Heng searched the old cowboy and Jonathan again, and then put away the revolver in his hand.
He first picked up the gun he dropped on the ground, and then took the rifle from Wendy's hand.
Seeing that Zhang Heng was still holding out his hand, Wendy said oh and reluctantly returned the revolver that someone had given her before.
"Then can you give me the Sheriff's hand?" Wendy asked in a low voice.
"No, I don't want to be shot in the back by one of my own." Zhang Heng said, "You have never learned to shoot, why do you want a gun?"
"I've seen dad hunt, I know how to use a gun, and I just subdued a deputy."
"He will no longer be a deputy sheriff." The old cowboy said, obviously dissatisfied that his deputy was knocked down by a girl who had just turned twelve.
"You shouldn't blame him, Sheriff, it's not his fault, he just picked the wrong opponent."
Wendy looked like a winner, and after speaking, she eagerly said to Zhang Heng, "That boy named Joseph also has a horse. Should we go back and kill him too?"
"No need to go to so much trouble. If there is only one horse, they won't dare to catch up. Am I right, Sheriff?" Zhang Heng said.
"The horse thing won't just end like this, boy." The old cowboy warned, "I may not be able to take you to court, but this is not my only method."
"Really, but I can take you to court." Zhang Heng said.
"…………"
"Either this, you tell me what secret you have with this child's father. I can give you a gun for self-defense. It's quite a long walk back to Glenn Town from here."
"For your own good, you should listen to me and take this kid home," the old cowboy said. "They won't hurt Matthew, but you may not."
"They, who are they?" Zhang Heng asked.
"I can only tell you so much." After the old cowboy finished speaking, he closed his mouth, making it clear that he didn't want to say another word.
"I hate people who only speak half of what they say." Wendy frowned.
"Me too, but it is undeniable that he still revealed some useful information. At least now we know that your father's disappearance is related to a group of people. They obviously know each other. Your father ran to see them, and probably followed them voluntarily later. They left, and this group of people should be quite dangerous. He was right, you probably shouldn't have run out to look for your father in the first place."
"You can't be 100% sure of this," Wendy said.
"yes."
"This means that my father may still be in danger, and you also said that those people are not good people. They may be capable of anything."
"Maybe." Zhang Heng also admitted that Wendy's guess was not unreasonable.
"Then I will keep looking," Wendy said firmly, and then asked Zhang Heng, "Are you scared?"
"I haven't felt fear for a long time." Zhang Heng replied.
"So you want to take the opportunity to increase your remuneration?"
"No, just now I had a reason to pursue it. Now, no matter whether you pay me or not, I will not give up on this matter." Zhang Heng shook his head.
"Why?"
It was difficult for Zhang Heng to explain the main mission to Wendy. He had just accidentally obtained a clue that seemed to be a lucky horseshoe. In this way, Wendy's commission overlapped with his main mission.
"Just think I'm in a hurry."
"Then I can't go back. I can help you by following you." Wendy said.
"I doubt it." Zhang Heng said, but even so, he couldn't deny that Wendy was actually useful. Although her combat effectiveness was negligible, Zhang Heng had never seen Matthew before. Bringing her with him would make it easier to find someone, not to mention that with the relationship between Wendy and Matthew, it might be possible to reduce some dangers.
But Wendy is also very capable of causing trouble. She is not a bear. In fact, compared to other naughty children of the same age, Wendy is too precocious. However, this child has the most stubborn temper that Zhang Heng has ever seen.
The two of them have not been together for long, but her ability to "cause trouble" has already given Zhang Heng a huge headache.
However, Zhang Heng did not force Wendy to go back. He was different from the old cowboy. Zhang Heng knew very well that even if he used force to send Wendy home, she would definitely find a way to escape again, and would even start to think about it halfway. This matter.
Instead of doing this, it's better to take her with you, at least keep an eye on her, so that she doesn't cause any big trouble.
Therefore, Zhang Heng said nothing more and just said to Wendy, "Let's go. I've been delayed for so long. I have to catch up on the time on the way."
Then he handed his unloaded revolver to the old cowboy, and under the latter's unkind gaze, he took out another box of bullets and threw it hard behind a rock wall.
"You are welcome."
After saying that, he rode on the carrot that was grazing on the side. The carrot didn't know that he had just escaped a disaster because Zhang Heng's riding skills were not good enough. Seeing Zhang Heng pinching his abdomen with his legs, he could only reluctantly let go. He glanced at the green grass in front of him again and embarked on his journey.
Wendy, on the other hand, followed Zhang Heng obediently on Lightning.
"Tell me more about your father." Zhang Heng said while observing the rock walls on both sides, carefully guarding against ambushes, without looking back.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang Heng."
