Chapter 631 It’s Okay
"Kenny!"
"Wal!"
"Manuel?!"
The hunchbacked old man raised his voice and called out the names of his three men, but no one answered outside the house.
It wasn't until half a minute later that there was another knock on the door.
"Pretend to be a ghost." The hunchbacked old man sneered. He didn't say any more nonsense. He directly pulled the trigger and shot out all the bullets in the pistol. The other party really shot himself in the foot this time. If he didn't Before this move, the hunchbacked old man really didn't know where he was, but now the knock on the door had revealed his location, and the thin wooden door couldn't stop the pouring bullets at all.
But in the blink of an eye, the hunchbacked old man emptied the cylinder of a pistol. When the white smoke from the muzzle dissipated, there was finally no movement outside.
The hunchbacked old man threw the pistol that had no bullets to Matthew, and said at the same time, "Go, open the door, and take a look at the situation outside."
Matthew hesitated for a moment. He knew that the hunchbacked old man wanted to use him as bait, but when he saw the latter turning the gun towards his wife, he could only pick up the pistol without bullets and lift the kerosene on the table. Turn on the light and walk outside.
Jane didn't care about her own safety at this moment, and quickly ran to her daughter, looked at her injured hand, and then opened the cabinet to look for gauze that could be used for wrapping.
However, Wendy endured the pain and glanced at the shadow under the cabinet from time to time. She hid the bullets from the shotgun there and thought about finding an opportunity to load the bullets into the chamber.
But the next moment the hunchbacked old man's words shattered her last fantasy, "My dear, you'd better not make any small moves, otherwise it won't be your hand that gets hurt. Now, kick the shotgun to me."
Hearing this, Wendy could only reluctantly kick the shotgun on the ground.
The hunchbacked old man stepped on it with his left foot, then turned to look at Matthew who had walked to the door. The latter took a deep breath and opened the door full of bullet holes.
Outside, no shots were fired.
"How is it? Have you seen his body?" the hunchbacked old man asked.
"No, there are only three corpses outside, all of them are your men." Matthew said.
"Where's the blood?"
Matthew moved the kerosene lamp in his hand closer and said, "Well, I don't know. There is a lot of blood on the ground, but it looks like it was left by your people."
"Well, it seems like I'm going to have to meet him in person." The hunchbacked old man's expression did not change when he heard this, "It just so happens that I haven't moved my muscles for a long time."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the long-lost gunshot rang out again, shattering the kerosene lamp in Matthew's hand. The hunchbacked old man reacted quickly. With his ears moving, he immediately caught the direction of the gunshot. He rolled towards the door, raised his gun and fired there.
However, the next moment a figure flashed past the window and shattered another kerosene lamp in the room.
The room then fell into darkness.
The hunchbacked old man kicked over a table as a cover, grabbed Wendy's mother and leaned behind her, shouting out the door.
"Then what? Without light, I can't see you, but you can't see me either, and I still have hostages on my hands. It seems that we are in a stalemate now. In this case, why not let's talk?"
The hunchbacked old man paused, and then asked, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with the Matthew family? Why do you care about this matter?"
"…………"
There was still silence outside the door, and the visitor seemed to have made up his mind and did not intend to speak.
The hunchbacked old man didn't take it seriously and continued, "Okay, let me tell you how things will develop next... You killed three of my men. To show fairness, I should also kill the hostages, or... we should also This dispute can be resolved in a gentlemanly way. How about I go one-on-one with you? Your shooting skills are good, and I am just an old man. When we duel, you have a great advantage. As long as you kill me, You can save this whole family."
"…………"
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that you are a person who doesn't like to talk, but it doesn't matter. I am a very patient person. I will give you half a minute. If you don't talk after half a minute, I will kill the woman in my hand."
As soon as the room fell into darkness, Wendy squatted down immediately, enduring the pain and groping on the ground. She didn't know who the person outside was, whether he was the opponent of the hunchbacked old man, but she placed her hope on others. It was never her style.
After a while, she found the bullet box under the cabinet, and then quietly crawled towards the direction of the shotgun.
Along the way, she not only had to find a gun, but she also had to carefully avoid debris on the ground and make sure not to make any noise. The difficulty was probably only known to her. However, when she finally found the shotgun, she wanted to fill it with bullets. When he was putting it in, another gunshot suddenly sounded in his ears.
Wendy stayed where she was.
Her spirit had been highly tense, and her concept of time had long been confused. She didn't know how much time had passed, or whether it was the half-minute deadline, but she felt as if some warm liquid splashed on her face.
Until the lights come back on.
Only then did she see the scene in front of her again. What she was most worried about did not happen. Although her mother looked frightened and trembling, she didn't seem to be anything serious. On the contrary, the hunchbacked old man next to her had an extra one on his head. The muzzle fell into a pool of blood.
What just splashed on her face was the hunchbacked old man's blood, perhaps mixed with some brain matter.
At the stairwell of the second floor, Zhang Heng put away his gun.
At the same time, I also received two system prompts, one about the main mission, and the other about the thirty game points received after killing the hunchbacked old man.
The second half of the main task is to find the lucky horseshoe. Zhang Heng had met the old cowboy before, and then met Matthew and the hunchbacked old man. He collected the three remaining lucky horseshoes. This part of the task is also finished.
This task is actually not as difficult as imagined. Strictly speaking, you don't even need to go through any battles. You just need to find three people. But in fact, the possibility of encountering Cook and his Cook gang without fighting is very small.
Zhang Heng looked at Wendy who was still in a daze downstairs and said to her, "It's okay."
Wendy heard the words but seemed not to hear them. She still held the shotgun in her hand tightly and pointed at Cook's body on the ground.
Zhang Heng walked downstairs and came to the girl. He held the barrel of the gun with one hand and carefully opened Wendy's fingers with the other hand. "Okay, it's okay. He's dead. The Cook gang." There shouldn't be many left, Sheriff Dolan is leading his manpower to chase the remaining people, your family is safe."
