Chapter 629 None of Them Can Save You

Matthew's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, "I swear, if you dare to do anything to Jane and Wendy, I will kill you Cook, no matter where you run away to the end of the world, no matter how many people are around you, no matter between us No matter how many connections we have, I will chase you and put a bullet in your head.”

"Very good, what I need is this anger." The hunchbacked old man suddenly closed his mouth when he said this. Then he saw Jane coming over with tea and cookies, and said at the same time, "What are you talking about interestingly?" Something about that?”

"Yes, Matthew and I talked about how we went fishing for salmon together before." The hunchbacked old man took the tea cup and thanked him with a smile. "I don't know if he has told you about it. We once went hunting and got lost. , we walked to a small stream not long ago. I don’t know if we were the first people to discover it. In short, there were so many salmon there, they were almost crowded together, one next to the other. Each one is very plump. Matthew and I don’t even need to use any fishing gear. We can catch them as long as we stretch out our hands, and they don’t have any warning. They are just there waiting for you to catch them. This also makes me very curious. , what made them become like this?"

"What is it?" Jane asked with interest.

"It's Mrs. Life, it's life that made them become like this. For a long time, they had no natural enemies. This creek provided them with quite abundant food, so they gradually lost their vigilance to the outside world and immersed themselves in In their short-term happiness, until one day danger comes, they even forget to escape.”

The hunchbacked old man took a sip of tea and continued, "Seeing them reminds me of the society we live in now. Isn't it just like this creek? It does its best to maintain order and let the fish living in it To reproduce as much as possible, all these laws, economic order, God... all of these are creating an illusion of prosperity, making people feel at ease, willing to be domesticated, and lose their own instincts. However, do you know, Mrs. , when danger really comes, none of these things can save you, your law, money, and God, they can't save you."

After Cook finished speaking, the living room fell into silence.

Jane tried her best to put a smile on her face, "...To be honest, your words frightened me a little, sir."

"Really? Then I apologize for that, ma'am. By the way, the tea you made is delicious." The hunchbacked old man raised his glass and then turned to look to the other side. Wen walked into the living room at some unknown time. Ti, "You are very lucky to have a mother who is clever and good at cooking, little girl."

Wendy was noncommittal upon hearing this, but instead asked, "How was your harvest?"

"What?"

"You said that creek was full of salmon. How was your harvest that day?"

"Oh, great. Although we didn't hit any deer, we did catch a lot of fish. I had to take off my coat and wrap up all the fish that couldn't be contained. However, even so, the fish we caught Compared with what was left in the creek, it was still insignificant. Your father and I had to eat grilled fish for several days, and I didn't want to smell the fishy smell for a long time after that." The hunchbacked old man seemed to be lost in memories. , said with a smile.

Matthew, who had been silent, said, "Okay, Mr. Cook and I have something to discuss. Wendy, why don't you and mom go upstairs first."

"Okay, then we'll leave the living room to you men." Jane smiled politely at the hunchbacked old man again.

However, the next moment her smile suddenly froze on her face.

Because the hunchbacked old man pulled out a revolver from his waist and pointed it at her, "I like you, dear, really. You remind me of my own daughter. I really hope this scene never happened, But...I need you to help your husband sober up, because no matter what I say before, he just can't listen, and I think it's time for life to reveal the truth to him."

After saying that, he pulled the hammer off the barrel.

Jane's breathing suddenly became rapid, her eyes widened, and she looked at a loss. At the same time, Matthew on the other side also straightened up from his seat, like an angry cheetah, trying to pounce on him, but ended up hunched over. The old man pulled out another pistol from his left hand and pointed it at him.

"It's not your part yet, my boy, be patient."

"You don't know what you're doing."

"On the contrary, I know exactly what I am doing." The hunchbacked old man smiled.

"What do you want, Cook? If you kill my wife, I'll be less likely to join your Cook gang."

"About this, let's wait and see...I will kill your lovely wife first, and then I will take your daughter away when the matter in Lincoln County is over, but in return, I will hand over the Cook Gang to you, you You can borrow their power to find my whereabouts. Many of them have lived with me for a long time. They know my hobbies, the places I like to go, and even the residence of my old friend. All you have to do is get words out of their mouths and make them willingly bring you to me.

"Don't worry, they are all easy to get along with. As long as you understand their temper and give them what they want, they will treat you as one of their own. So you may have lost two family members, but you can Gained more than forty brothers, although sometimes you may think they are a bit noisy...but you will get used to it, I can give you a whole year, don't let me down, my child."

"Don't do this, Cook, when I find you, I will kill you!" Matthew glared angrily.

"If you have the ability, I don't mind that much."

"If you don't let my mother go, I will kill you too." Wendy on the other side also said.

"Hahaha," Cook burst out laughing after hearing this. He seemed to be amused by Wuji's childish words. However, his laughter stopped abruptly the next moment because he saw the hand in Wendy's hand. shotgun.

Unlike her mother, Wendy had heard the old cowboy tell those past events and knew the whereabouts of her father. Therefore, when the hunchbacked old man showed up, she knew who he was, but Wendy did not behave like an ordinary girl. Any look of fear and fear.

Instead, she buried everything in her heart. There was no emotion on her face from beginning to end, so even an old person like Cook was deceived by her. And Wendy was waiting silently...waiting.

It wasn't until Matthew and Cook confronted each other that she finally found the opportunity to secretly take out the shotgun she had hidden behind the cabinet. She forced herself to calm down and recalled in her head the shooting method Zhang Heng gave her. Then he picked up the shotgun as quickly as possible and aimed it at Cook's heart.
