Chapter 611

"Would you like a cup of coffee? Sheriff Wendy asked.

"It couldn't be better, dear lady." The sheriff laughed, turned over and dismounted, "I will send you out of the valley, where you are most likely to encounter ambush. It will be much safer when you get to the plain. You can walk by yourself."

"You are so sweet."

"If Matthew's daughter has an accident in my territory, I'll be a sheriff in vain." The old cowboy nodded to Zhang Heng, gave the reins to the hotel's handyman, and then walked to the table, "unfortunately, you are leaving so soon. When you find your father, we may be able to hunt together on the way back."

"I like hunting. When I was a child, I went to the forest with my father to see that he had beaten rabbits or something, but he never let me touch the gun." Wendy said.

"He's right, but I think we can make an exception for him. There are a lot of prey around here." The sheriff winked at the girl.

"Are there wolves and bears?" Wendy asked excitedly.

"Ha ha, that's very rare. These beasts have been killed by the Indians who lived nearby before."

"It's a pity that I haven't seen a bear yet."

"There's nothing nice about that." The sheriff took his own cup of coffee and said thank you to the woman boss.

"I don't know. I just want to see it."

"There will be opportunities, there will always be opportunities."

…………

The three chatted while eating breakfast. The atmosphere was very good. The old cowboy was obviously the kind of person who could create atmosphere very well. According to him, he had a lot of romantic debts when he was young. He knew what girls of Wendy's age liked to listen to and often talked wittily.

Even Wendy had a feeling that it would be better if the old cowboy accompanied her on the road, but the idea just flashed through her mind. As she said before, her father had been missing for some time, and she couldn't wait that long.

Thinking of this, Wendy said to the old cowboy, "sheriff, I think maybe we should be on our way."

The old cowboy patted his head, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm old. I'm always nagging when I talk. I hope I won't bore you."

"Why, you are the most humorous person I have ever met. It's always been a pleasure to chat with you, but we do have something important in mind."

"Of course, I'm ready. We can start now." Old cowboy road.

"That can't be better."

"I'll wait for you outside the door." With that, the sheriff laughed at Wendy again, got up and walked out the door.

The rancher's daughter had finished her breakfast and was about to get up, but the next moment something touched her thigh.

Wendy bowed her head, waiting to see what Zhang Heng handed over from under the table. She was stunned.

"Keep it. I hope we won't use it later."

Wendy has a lot of questions to ask, but when she takes over that thing, Zhang Heng has already stood up from his position and said to the old cowboy, "Kentucky, does it work?"

"No, snowflake is an Arabian horse." The old cowboy said, "it's very fast. Few horses can catch up with it on the plain."

"It seems that I have to continue to study." Zhang Hengdao, his body just blocked Wendy behind the table, and the girl hid it in her clothes as fast as she could.

Then they got on their horses and walked out of Glen town. All the way, the old cowboy was still talking and laughing, but Wendy seemed a little absent-minded and thought about what she had.

On the contrary, Zhang Heng took over the conversation and chatted with the old cowboy. By the way, he inquired about the local conditions and Customs nearby. The old cowboy also invited Zhang Heng to taste his chewing tobacco.

Zhang Heng put the cut tobacco between his jaw and his teeth according to his instructions. In a few seconds, a pungent smell diffused in his mouth and went straight to his throat. Although there was a mixture of spices to cover it, it still made people feel unbearable.

It is said that chewing tobacco became popular in the United States during the pioneering period, because it was very difficult for cowboys to light a cigarette on horseback (it was windy and bumpy), so when they wanted to smoke, they would put tobacco in their mouth. As long as they spit out their saliva regularly, they could smoke while working, which was convenient and convenient.

However, the stimulation of tobacco juice to the oral mucosa is better than that of cigarettes. In addition, there are not so many places for you to spit in modern society, so chewing tobacco has gradually withdrawn from the market.

Zhang Heng tasted the taste, but also spit out the tobacco.

"It's a pity," the old cowboy said, "you have a good command of English, I heard you have a good shot, but if you want to live in the west, you have to act more like a westerner."

"I do have a lot to learn." Zhang Heng did not retort after hearing the speech.

"Don't worry. Take your time. " The old cowboy patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder to show encouragement.

So the three men went to the entrance of the valley. They said it was the valley, but it was tens of thousands of years ago. Now there is no water here, but the rock walls on both sides are still left. It's really an easy place to set an ambush."Let's go." The old cowboy took the lead, followed by Wendy and Zhang Heng.

The old cowboy said to Wendy, "I have to apologize to you."

"What's the apology?"

"I lied to you before. I can't let you go on the road to find your father by yourself, with strangers you hire at random." The old cowboy pulled up the reins, stopped the horse, turned and said, "it's too dangerous."

"Do you stop me from finding my father for my safety or to cover up the truth behind my father's disappearance?" Wendy had a tit for tat.

"Things It's always complicated. " The old cowboy sighed, "maybe I will explain to you again when I have a chance, but now, you should say goodbye to Mr. Zhang Heng and go home. I can promise you that I will help you find your father later. Although waiting is sad, sometimes it is the most effective way to solve things."

"Well, how are you going to send me home? With all due respect, even if you are twenty years younger, you are not Mr. Zhang Heng's rival." Wendy said.

"Maybe." Old cowboy does not argue, "fortunately, I have a helper."

After he finished, two men with rifles emerged from the cliff on both sides.

"It's my pleasure to introduce you to deputy sheriff of Glenville, Joseph, and his brother, Jonathan."
