Chapter 599

The hairy bear man calls himself rich.

Zhang Heng got good news and bad news from rich.

The good news is that he finally knows where Lincoln County is in the main mission. The bad news is that it's still far away from where he is now. He has to go straight South and cross the Gobi.

According to Ritchie, the fastest way to ride a horse is two days, and it's not very safe along the way.

As for the train

"The train hasn't been here for a long time. There used to be a copper mine in this place. This town was built at that time. The town is basically full of miners and their families, but later the copper mine was mined out I'm not sure. Maybe there's a little bit left down there, but it's estimated to be 200 feet down. It's hard to dig, so as you can see, people in the small town have moved away. "

"Then why are you still there?"

Zhang Heng poured himself another whisky.

"We're not from town Do a little business around here. " Rich's eyes twinkled.

"What business?"

"Fur business, but it's not easy to do fur business these days. Even beaver skin is not as valuable as before, and those little things are becoming more and more difficult to find." Ritchie complained.

"So this place is your stronghold?"

"Yes, we took over the place after the miners moved away. No, it's just this bar."

"How many of you?"

"You've seen all seven people. Er, I'm the only one left now..." Rich's eyes showed a touch of pleading, "I'm sorry, sir. I'd like to extend my most sincere apology to you for what happened before. I made up all the stories about my Chinese friends. I drank too much and talked nonsense at that time..."

"Well." Zhang Heng sniffed the words noncommittal, and drank whiskey, "but why do I see eight horses at the door of the bar? Don't tell me that one of them belongs to the owner of the bar. Considering his physical condition, I don't think he can still use it."

"Well We used to be eight or nine people, but later we met with a little trouble and lost two companions, but one of them still had a horse. Please, sir, I have told you everything I know. I know you are a good man who is upright and respectable. We are responsible for today's things, but we have got the punishment we deserve. Look at God Why don't we call it a day? I I still have 15 dollars in my pocket. I can give them to you. " Rich pleaded.

Zhang Heng handed over half a glass of whisky in his hand.

Richie's eyes flashed with joy. He quickly took the glass of wine which symbolized peace and drank it. However, when his eyes fell forward again, he saw the black muzzle.

Zhang Heng has picked up the lever rifle at his feet and said, "no, you don't know who I am. By the way, your answer just now is full of lies."

With that, before rich could answer, he had pulled the trigger.

After a shot, the glass glass fell to the ground, and the bar was completely quiet.

Zhang Heng took the [oath ring] from rich's body and put it back in his backpack. Although it only has the quality of F, it is surprisingly useful, especially in interrogation. The characteristic of "breaking the oath can be perceived by the other party" makes it a portable small lie detector.

Zhang Heng spent some time searching the bar, found food and several buckets of drinking water in the storeroom, and made his first dinner after arriving at this copy.

Then he sat outside the bar with a plate of bacon and potatoes and watched the setting sun. Considering the distance from Lincoln County, Zhang Heng did not rush on the road. Instead, he decided to take another night off in this empty and uninhabited town. After eating, he carried a rifle and thoroughly inspected a nearby area.

Richie didn't lie about the town. It has been abandoned for quite a while. Except for him and his accomplices, no one comes here.

There are many similar towns in the West. Most of them are built on the nearby resources. Miners, ranchers and gold prospectors gather together to engage in production with their families. At the same time, they also need life and entertainment. However, with the depletion of resources, people have to move to new places to make a living, and the original towns become desolate Even empty.

This is a completely empty city now.

Zhang Heng soon completed the inspection and found a clean place to sleep in the houses on the opposite street.

The next morning, he returned to the bar. The first thing he did was to change his clothes. His skin color was a little eye-catching, but what was more eye-catching was his clothes. Although the short sleeve shorts were cool, they could not withstand the sun. If he wanted to travel a long distance, he needed to update his equipment.

Cowhide boots, shirts, leather trousers, denim scarf All of the above things are contributed by rich and his companions. Zhang Heng finds a guy who is close to him and changes into each other's clothes. In addition, he takes two colt revolvers and puts them in the holster at his waist.As for the more powerful lever rifle, Zhang Heng didn't take it, considering that he went to Lincoln County to settle there instead of looking for trouble, and he already had two revolvers enough for him to defend himself.

Bullets, food and water are all necessary consumables. Zhang Heng also stuffed some into his backpack.

In addition, Zhang Heng also got the $15 Richie had promised. Unfortunately, these guys are not rich. Eight people only contributed less than $50. Fortunately, the sum of these money should be enough for him to live for some time.

Before leaving, Zhang Heng opened another bucket of whisky, sprinkled it on the body and the floor, and drew a match.

Before long, everything that happens here will be engulfed by the fire.

After all this, Zhang Heng walked out of the bar.

But his troubles are just beginning.

It's a long way from here to Lincoln County. It takes a lot of time to walk there, and it's not easy to feel under the scorching sun. In view of the fact that the train here has been abandoned, it's obviously impossible to count on it. Therefore, in this era, Zhang Heng has only one choice left.

He looked at the eight horses tied outside the bar. Last night, after dinner, he brought a few bundles of hay to the eight guys for dinner. By the way, he observed them. The dark horses with the deepest fur looked the strongest and most lively, so they were excluded by Zhang Heng first. The other horses were also very alert when he came near. They kept planing the ground with their hooves, or shaking their heads, looking up It doesn't look like a friendly partner.
