Zhang Heng finally came to Lincoln County one day earlier than originally planned.
On the night when he met the bailiff, he asked the other side about his riding skills. Morton's patience was very good. He not only answered all the questions, but also demonstrated them to him personally. By the way, he corrected some of his wrong postures.
So Zhang Heng finally ended his previous learning process, and the whole teaching lasted until the middle of the night. The poor bailiff didn't expect that he had paid such a high price for a bowl of corn paste. When they broke up the next morning, he was yawning because he couldn't sleep enough.
After the time, Zhang Heng continued to drive, while also incidentally in the exercise of their riding.
Of course, the backache or backache, some things are not you know the principle can immediately change, adapt to itself needs process.
But the good news is that Zhang Heng's riding is indeed in constant progress. Although there is no change in his skill panel, he can personally feel the progress. At least now, there is no problem with some of his basic movements.
Zhang Hengshun also gave his first horse a name -- radish. After all, it's not very good to shout that it always loses its hair.
He made a supply in the middle of the way according to the plan, and then arrived at the destination without any accident.
It seems that the county seat of Lincoln County is still very busy. The area alone is much larger than the two towns he went to before. It is said that there are two mining areas and many farms nearby, so there are many residents living here. There are many banks, telegraph offices, grocery stores, hotels, bars, and even schools, newspapers and other places in the county as settlements Not bad.
Zhang Heng jumped down from the back of radish and patted the dust on his body.
He was very dusty all the way. For six days, he spent five nights in the wild, and he could hardly tell the taste of corn paste. Now, he has forgotten about settling down or looking for a lucky horseshoe. The most important thing is to find a place to take a hot bath and have a big meal.
But before that, he has a little problem to solve.
Not long after he entered the town, he felt a touch of hostility along the road. An old man sitting in the sun at the door of his room spat on the ground as soon as he saw him. The spit was so deadly that it was less than two steps away from the turnip.
There were also two cowboys who used to lean against the stables to look at the girls passing by, whistling. One of them said, "Hey, Oriental boy, you'd better go wherever you come from. You're not welcome here."
He had experienced such a situation once in a small town before, and Zhang Heng's solution was very simple.
He drew his gun and knocked off the old man's felt hat not far away.
The latter was stunned, and then immediately began to scold, what foul language all scolded out, until Zhang Heng broke the cup in his hand, he just like someone suddenly choked his throat, closed his mouth, an old face red.
The two cowboys obviously didn't expect that the newcomer was so arrogant, and they didn't even quarrel with each other, so they pulled out their guns directly.
When they are also in a hurry to draw the gun, Zhang Heng's second revolver has already pointed at them.
"If I were you, I would go to the bar to have a drink before the sun sets. After all, life is short and no one knows what will happen next."
The two cowboys looked at each other. Although they were not willing to look at each other, they finally backed away.
Then Zhang Heng looked at the old man in the sun, "Hey, it looks like you're going to change a new cup. I hope the next cup will stay with you a little longer."
The latter is this sentence gas of green tendons straight jump, together with the arm are shivering up.
However, because now the muzzle of the gun is pointing at his head, no matter how angry he is, he can't speak a word.
But at this time, there was another voice.
"You've got what you want. Now, can you put away your weapons?"
It was a middle-aged man about 50 years old, wearing a dirty shirt and smelling of wine. If it wasn't for the same gray looking badge on his chest, he would be regarded as a tramp.
But he came out of the police station. If there is no accident, he should be the sheriff here.
Although the middle-aged drunkard in front of him and Morton, whom Zhang Heng met in Gobi before, are both legal officers, there is still a little difference between them. The sheriff is usually called the sheriff, who is elected by the town to maintain regional stability. Sometimes he works part-time as a local judge to hold trials.
The bailiffs, also known as law enforcement officers, are usually attached to the Federation, and their main work on weekdays is to chase or escort fugitives.
Both of them belong to the local government and the federal government. Of course, the main purpose of their work is to maintain regional stability, punish evil and promote good.
Zhang Heng saw Lincoln County Sheriff has come forward, also very simply put away the pistol.He came here to settle down, not to pick things up. He provoked ordinary people. Fortunately, if he really provoked the sheriff here, he would have to turn around and leave.
However, Zhang Hengdao didn't regret his previous actions. Although cowboys and pirates are not the same kind of people, they still have many similarities in their bones. In other words, human beings have a lot in common. Zhang Henggang's two shots are not only for the sake of giving vent, but also to send a signal that I'm not easy to provoke.
Considering his skin color, it's a difficult start to hell in the west of this era. It doesn't mean that you will be safe if you come to a new site alone. Instead of waiting to be bullied and things are getting worse, it's better to take this opportunity to make things bigger.
In this way, if someone wants to talk cheap or hand cheap, they will consider the consequences in advance.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Zhang Heng will be OK after that. In fact, things are more serious than he imagined. Although Zhang Heng has temporarily deterred these people, it's not easy to live in an hostile environment. Moreover, this is a world where people have guns. It's really not easier to do something.
A few glasses of whiskey and a few words of provocation will make a person completely abandon his sense. No matter how strong Zhang Heng is, he can't choose the whole town alone. In addition, he can't always guard against the people around him 24 hours a day. After all, he is human and will feel tired. He can do it in a day or two, or even a week, but no matter how long he is, he will be tired one day The spirit will also be strained.
Zhang Heng has begun to realize that it is not easy to settle down in Lincoln County in the first half of the main task.
