Although they had only cooperated for less than half a day, they both began to have doubts about each other. Wendy suspected that she had bought a fake, while Zhang Heng began to think about how effective a girl's promise was and whether she could get the final reward.
However, for Wendy, she has no other choice. Now that she has chosen Zhang Heng, she can only go to the end with her eyes closed. Zhang Heng, because she can learn new knowledge and skills, can be converted into a part of the reward, which has no opinion for the time being.
In order not to sleep in the wild, they still speeded up in the afternoon. In fact, Zhang Heng couldn't speed up at all. After all, he came to Lincoln County alone. It's just that turnip running will increase the difficulty of control and the risk of accidents, and it's not easy to rush.
But it's nothing compared to sleeping on the grass.
Finally, they arrived in Glen town at about 7 p.m.
"Here." Wendy pointed to a bar in the middle of town and said, "my father always told me that their apple pie is delicious. Every time he passed by, he would ask for one, and sometimes he would bring one for us and mom."
Zhang Heng nodded, "according to what we said before, you go inside and ask when your father last appeared and whether he passed here on the way back. I'll go to the hotel in the town and book two rooms."
It's not that Zhang Heng doesn't want to ask himself, but considering what happened to him after he entered the bar last time, he decided to keep a low profile and leave the part of communication with others to Wendy. Although Wendy is only 12 years old, judging from their short time together, the rancher's daughter is very organized in her work and speech, revealing a maturity far beyond her age.
This has a great impact on the environment.
Every time her father went out to sell cattle, she had to leave for quite a long time. At this time, she had to take care of the remaining horses and cattle in the ranch, and her mother. Coupled with the hostility of the people in the town, she was able to stand alone at a young age.
"All right." Wendy nodded. "Don't worry, leave it to me."
"I'll see you at the hotel." Zhang Hengdao.
In fact, the hotel and bar in Glen town are very close to each other. After the two separated, Zhang Heng paid the accommodation fee and asked someone to take care of the lightning and radish. Then he went to his room, took out his revolver and took advantage of the time to do a simple maintenance.
However, a quarter of an hour later, he did not see Wendy go upstairs. Zhang Heng waited another five minutes, got up and walked downstairs.
…………
Wendy carefully avoided the horse dung and vomit under her feet and pushed the door of the tavern.
A woman in a floral dress near the door saw her and said, "this is not a place for children."
"I'm not a child, ma'am." Wendy said.
"I'm not a lady, either." The woman laughed.
"Oh, you are the What Wendy suddenly said, "sorry, I didn't mean to discriminate against you."
"It doesn't matter. Your dress is terrible. Are your parents abusing you? Fortunately, you have a good foundation. Maybe when you get older, if you want to escape from the boring life of husband and son, you can come here to find me. "
"Thank you, but I don't think that's possible." Wendy said, pausing and saying, "actually I'm here to inquire about something."
"A lot of people come to the bar to inquire about something. At this time, they usually buy me a glass of wine first, but for the sake of the same woman, you don't need that glass of wine." The woman nodded at Wendy. "Is there anything you want to ask?"
"I want to know about a man named Matthew Robbins. He is a rancher. He should have passed here 14 days ago. He is wearing a gray shirt and looks very old boots. He is about 35 years old. He has firm eyes and a scar on his left abdomen. He may have passed here in recent days. I don't know if you have any impression."
"I can only say that there's no such guy named Matthew among the men I've been to." I'm sorry, I don't stay in the bar every minute. I went to the second floor when I had work to do. Fourteen days ago Let me see. My business seemed to be good that day. Maybe he came in while I was working. "
Spend a little skirt, the woman flushed the bar place nuzui, "maybe you can ask the bartender over there, he has been here."
"Thank you, husband Oh, I'm sorry
Wendy put a smile on her face, but before she could leave, she felt a pat on some part behind her.
"Why, is this the new man you told me about two days ago? He is younger than he thought. Is he really 16 years old?"
It was a man who smelled of tobacco and behaved frivolously.
"Ah, there are some misunderstandings. Barks, this lady is not Maggie I told you before." When the woman saw Wendy's face suddenly changed, she realized the bad things and quickly came out to make it up.
Barks shrugged. "It doesn't matter. She's OK. Although she's a little ugly, she's better than young..."Before he finished speaking, he saw that his client suddenly took out a knife from his pocket and stabbed him. Fortunately, barks reacted quickly. At the critical moment, he blocked the next one with his hand to avoid being ripped. However, the knife was stabbed into his hand, and it was quite deep, almost penetrating his palm.
Barks growled in pain.
The woman in the dress also covered her mouth when she saw the scene and quickly came up and said, "Oh, Mr. barks, are you ok? I said it was a misunderstanding."
However, she was rudely pushed away by barks, and her waist hit a nearby table, which also spilled the glasses of two other drinkers.
"Royce, what's wrong with your people!" Barks said angrily. He took out the knife that was stuck in his hand. Blood suddenly gushed out of the wound and fell on the floor. It was almost a stream.
"Mr. barkers, you need to see the doctor in town for your injury." Despite the pain in her waist, Royce quickly advised that although she met Wendy for the first time, she had a good impression of the girl, but she did not expect that the latter's reaction would be so strong.
In her opinion, it was just a small misunderstanding. As long as the explanation was clear, it would be OK. Now the situation has been escalated infinitely with that knife. She even saw a sense of obliteration in barks' eyes. Now it's meaningless to think about how to become this scene. The urgent task is to ensure Wendy's safety first, and don't let barks make anything What a stupid thing.
