Chapter 620 Revenge Story
"We thought about passing the law to solve this matter, but the Union Pacific Railroad Company is very powerful. Whether they build a railway for your town or not is a matter of their words. Towns with railways develop very fast, and new immigrants There will be more and more. On the contrary, it will be difficult to transport goods in the town... The place we were in at that time was a small town with less than fifty people in the town. Everyone was looking forward to the railway being built so that Life is getting better, and Ruben obviously knows this, so he uses this to blackmail the town's sheriff in order to cover up the matter.
The old cowboy seemed to be lost in his memories. He paused and continued, "The sheriff of the town at that time was Mr. Thompson. He completely stood with the people of the Union Pacific Railway. He was just like their loyal dog, Thompson." The Sheriff insisted that Mary was kidnapped and killed by nearby robbers.”
"Then we tried to get the Thompson and Union Pacific Railroad through other people in town, but found that no one wanted to stand with us at all. Everyone wanted the railroad more than justice was done. That's why Lucky Horseshoes will be born, Cook said, go to hell with the Sheriff, if no one can give us justice, then we will create our own justice.
"...In addition to us, Cook also wrote to two of his friends at that time, and they also rushed to the town. Plus another cowboy who worked for Cook, there were six of us in total, the Lucky Horseshoes All members.”
Hearing this, Zhang Heng interrupted the old cowboy, "Is the horseshoe-shaped mark on your chest the result of joining the lucky horseshoe?" Zhang Heng saw this mark when he searched the old cowboy at the entrance of the valley. , only to suspect that the latter is related to the main mission.
"Yes, that's right," the old cowboy admitted, "Matthew and Cook also have it, but Matthew later cut a scar at that position in order to get rid of this mark. This happened later. In short, people After we arrived, the six of us covered our faces together and went to the residence of Ruben's group in the dark. We planned to kill them all while they were drunk and defenseless, but then things started to get out of control... Ruben There are ten people on Ben's side. Except for two playmates, the rest are security personnel assigned to him by his director father, but those guys are all embroidered pillows.
"Matthew rushed to the front and killed the only two people who were still conscious in the room. After that, we also started to kill, but besides Ruben's people, there were two prostitutes in the room. I had an argument with Cook about not killing those two prostitutes too. Cook said they might have been present when Mary was killed, but I said we couldn't be sure of that. We were here for revenge, not Come to kill innocent people indiscriminately. While we were arguing, a prostitute tried to sneak out while we were not paying attention. So one of Cook's friends chased her out and shot her dead. When he came back, he killed the other prostitute. Also killed.
"Immediately afterwards... Sheriff Thompson heard the gunfire and rushed over. He pulled out his gun and wanted to shoot at me. I had no choice but to kill him before he could. At this time, everything fell into chaos. Ku Ke told us that it was too late to retreat after we had already made this step. Everyone in the town knew about the grudge between us and Ruben. When the new Sheriff took office, we would still be unable to escape death. In this case, it was better to take the first step and simply We can kill everyone in the town."
"So, you really slaughtered the entire town?" Wendy asked.
"That's right, regardless of men and women, from old people to children, we shot every living thing we could see. I will always remember that night. Everything in front of me was red. We didn't leave a single person alive. I didn't I said we lived in a small town, so we all knew each other, some even talked to me during the day, and I had to kill them myself that night.
"In the early days, the battle was almost one-sided, but later on, more and more people became armed after hearing the gunshots, especially the last two families, who had many sons, and blocked the door with tables and beds. Shooting at us from the window on the second floor. It was a bloody battle that lasted until dawn. There were only three living people left in the whole town: me, Matthew, and Cook, and almost everyone was injured. I didn’t know this. It’s nothing, but it’s definitely beyond the scope of revenge.”
The old cowboy's eyes were also full of regret, "Afterwards, the three of us sat in the middle of the town, looking at each other, and no one spoke. After that, Cook dragged his injured leg home and took the money and money he had saved from starting a ranch. We split up, and by the afternoon the three of us went our separate ways.”
"Matthew and I both chose to remain anonymous and live an ordinary life. Matthew went to Lincoln County, used the money he had to open a ranch, married a wife and had children, while I wandered aimlessly for a while, and finally came to In Glen Town, I drove away two gangsters who were harassing and extorting money in the bar. The locals accidentally elected them as the Sheriff, and they lived here. As for Cook... I didn’t know about his organization until I got news about him. He joined the Cook Gang and claimed responsibility for what happened in the town before. I know he was trying to protect us, especially Matthew. Cook liked Matthew very much and always regarded him as his own son, especially after Mary's death. , Matthew is Cook’s only relative in the world.
"I don't know why he wanted to break Matthew's peaceful life. More than ten years have passed since what happened at that time. It doesn't make sense." The old cowboy frowned.
"But he did find Matthew." Zhang Heng said, "If you want to stop him, you have to stop them before they reach Lincoln County. I have fifteen people here, and they can arrive at Glenn Town in the afternoon. How much can you scrape together?"
The people Zhang Heng was looking for were the miners and farmers in Bliss. There was no way to seek help from other law enforcers on this matter. Fortunately, after a long night of negotiations, the people in Bliss finally reached a preliminary consensus and solved the problem in the library first. In response to the external threat of the Gramps, they selected fifteen people with the best marksmanship. Zhang Heng and Wendy took the first step and came to Glen Town to find the old cowboy, and they followed closely behind.
"Four, the four people you met that day." The old cowboy said, "They are the only people you can completely trust."
"Sorry, are you talking about the guy I tied up and threw on the roadside?" Wendy muttered, "Can that guy be reliable? He looks not much older than me."
"It's better than nothing. This way we have twenty people. Although we are a bit disadvantaged in terms of numbers, we can still fight." Zhang Heng took over.
