Chapter 632 Quick Decision

Zhang Heng had no interest in playing with Cook the scene in a Western movie where they stand ten steps toward each other and then exchange passionate shots after giving an order.

Although this kind of thing sounds very stylish.

Zhang Heng does not think that his marksmanship is necessarily worse than that of Kuko, but the environment in which they practice marksmanship is different. Zhang Heng studied under Simon. He is better at long-distance sniping, rather than the quick draw of a gun between cowboys in the West.

In fact, even if Zhang Heng is good at drawing a gun and shooting quickly, he will not leave the more useful [Filter Lens] aside to compete with Cook for hand speed unless absolutely necessary.

No matter how good you are at this kind of thing, as long as you do it too many times, you will always fall over.

Because no matter how fast you are, there will always be someone faster than you in this world.

In addition, Zhang Heng estimated that Cook's call to him for a duel might not necessarily be true. There was probably some back-up plan hidden behind it, but none of that mattered now.

Zhang Heng had no intention of dueling from the beginning.

After neatly dealing with the three people outside the house, he leaned against the wall and knocked on the door with the butt of his gun, attracting Cook's attention. After dealing with the only two light sources, he quickly went around to the back of the house. He directly used his rock climbing skills to climb up to the second floor.

Judging from the surrounding layout, he should have entered Wendy's room.

However, unlike other girls' rooms, there are not many dolls in it, but instead there are many wooden ponies and knights.

Zhang Heng also heard Cook's shouting. He didn't stay in the room for too long. He gently opened the door and walked along the corridor to the stairs. With the [Filter Lens], he could see the scene below at a glance.

Zhang Heng picked up the Winchester rifle in his hand and ended the battle cleanly.

The whole process takes less than a minute.

Until his death, Cook had no idea where the fatal bullet came from.

"Also allow me to express my gratitude to you for saving our family's lives."

Because it was already very late, Zhang Heng spent the night at Matthew's house.

Early the next morning, when everyone was sitting at the dining table, Matthew mentioned what happened last night again, his face full of gratitude.

"Oh, you're welcome. I'm just fulfilling the contract with my employer." Zhang Heng took a sip of milk and said, "After all, only the living employer can pay."

"What contract?" Matthew was a little surprised.

"This..." Zhang Heng put down the cup and took out the contract Wendy signed with him before setting off.

Matthew took the contract and looked at it, "Eighty US dollars in compensation, twenty US dollars in debt, plus a good horse...there is no problem with these, I can pay you now."

"That couldn't be better." Zhang Heng raised the cup again, "...please cooperate."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wendy suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?" Zhang Heng asked.

Wendy was lucky. The bullet in her left hand grazed her bones and passed through her. She asked a doctor to take care of it. It was not a serious problem. It just left a scar. Her mother was worried that it would affect her future. Marry someone, but Wendy herself doesn't care.

"That contract is wrong." Wendy said solemnly.

"Do you want to regret it?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"No, you still left some things behind." Wendy said, "I said, as long as you help my father solve the problem of the Cook Gang, I will give away the land on the family pasture and the cattle on the land. Give you half." She said while looking at her father, "Can I make the decision, Dad?"

"Well..." Matthew thought for a while, "I'm not at home, and you are my eldest daughter, so this also means... you can dispose of our family assets as needed. Congratulations, Mr. Zhang Heng, You are also a rancher in Lincoln County now. In fact, when I bought the land, I bought too much land. I couldn't take care of such a large area by myself. It would be more suitable if it was divided into two ranches. "Matthew raised his glass.

"Are you sure?" Zhang Heng put down the knife and fork in his hand. Although he is not a good person in the strict sense like Shen Xixi, he is too lazy to take advantage of a kid and take advantage of him. Therefore, Wendy's previous promise did not actually come to him. Didn't pay much attention to it.

"Of course," Matthew said, "You said before that the Cook Gang was basically wiped out, but there are still a few people who escaped. Once Cook dies, I don't think the Cook Gang can make a comeback, but a few people who escaped There is still a possibility for individuals to come back for revenge, and with a powerful gunman like you as a neighbor, we can feel more at ease, right, Jane?" Cook looked at his wife.

The latter nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and smiled at Zhang Heng, "Matthew is right, what happened last night was really terrible. If you hadn't arrived in time, sir, I don't think I could have survived this morning. Sitting here, I wish you could stay and we could look out for each other.”

However, when Zhang Heng heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "Well, actually... I don't know how to raise cattle."

"I don't care, I can teach you." Matthew said cheerfully, "There's also equestrian skills. I've also heard Wendy talk about some things about you. I can't say that my equestrian skills are the best, but at least within a radius of a hundred miles, I can teach you. No one knows horses better than me. Until then, your cattle can continue to be raised with me."

"Isn't this a bit too generous?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Compared to what you have done for us, the reward I can give is insignificant." Matthew said sincerely.

…………

After breakfast, the old cowboy and the alcoholic Sheriff also came to the ranch together.

Before anyone could reach the drunken Sheriff, he started shouting, "Where's Cook, where is Cook's body?"

"In the barn, Sheriff," Matthew said.

However, the drunkard police chief was not in a hurry at this time. He turned over and dismounted, glanced at Zhang Heng on the other side, and snorted, "Did you kill him?"

"Yes Sheriff."

"Don't be complacent, Oriental. The reason why Cook is alive today is just because I never came forward to hunt him down. Back then, I could shoot down five people with one gun." The drunkard police chief said while taking another drink whisky.

At this time, Wendy couldn't help but said, "Zhang Heng can kill ten people with one gun. I saw it with my own eyes."

"…………"

The drunkard police chief was choked and couldn't speak for a long time. After all, this was what he was most proud of, and he would brag about it to everyone. However, in this matter, he was double killed by Zhang Heng.

"People are different. You'll understand when you grow up, little girl." The alcoholic police chief finally made such an excuse for himself. Then he looked at Zhang Heng and coughed twice, "Since you killed Cook, forget about the unpleasantness that happened before. On behalf of the residents of Lincoln County, I welcome you to settle here. You can stay here as long as you want, but remember, don’t cause trouble. It doesn’t matter if you fight or something. I will arrest you without mercy even if you are killed."

"No one is more law-abiding than me, Sheriff." Zhang Heng said.

"Very good, let's go take a look at Cook's body now, but the person sent to verify the identity will not arrive until two weeks later. Once it is confirmed that it is Cook himself, you can come to me to collect the reward."

"Is there any reward?" Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "I don't seem to have seen any similar rewards outside the police station."

"The Cook Gang has become notorious over the years and has a large number of people. Ordinary local armed forces have no way to deal with them. For fear of being retaliated by them, the town dare not post their bounty, but the bounty is indeed there, and Quite a bit... Damn it, why don't I have such good luck? If Cook stood in front of me, I would definitely shoot that old bastard into a hornet's nest." The drunkard police chief complained.

Thanks to Lin Suwu for the reward of children’s boots~
