"We want to solve this problem by law. However, the United Pacific Railway Company is very powerful. It's their business to build a railway for your town or not. With the rapid development of towns with railways, more and more new immigrants will come. On the contrary, it's difficult to transport goods out of the town We were in a small town at that time. There were less than 50 people in the town. Everyone was looking forward to the construction of the railway to make life better. Reuben obviously knew this, so he tried to blackmail the Sheriff of the town to cover up the matter.
The old cowboy seemed to fall into the memory, and continued, "at that time, the sheriff in the town was Mr. Thompson. He stood with the United Pacific Railway Company completely, just like their loyal dog. The Thompson medal affirmed that Mary was robbed and killed by the robbers nearby."
"After that, we wanted to give Thompson and the Pacific Union railway through other people in the town, but we found that no one wanted to stand with us. We all wanted the railway more than justice. That's why the lucky horseshoe was born," Cook said. Go to the Sheriff of TM. If no one can give us justice, we will create our own It's about your own justice.
“…… In addition to us, cook wrote to two of his friends at that time. They also arrived in the town. Together with another cowboy who worked for cook, there were six of us, all members of the lucky horseshoe. "
Hearing this, Zhang Heng interrupted the old cowboy, "is the horseshoe shaped mark on your chest left after you added the lucky horseshoe?" It was because Zhang Heng saw this mark when he searched the old cowboy at the mouth of the river valley that he suspected that the latter was related to the main task.
"Yes, that's right," the old cowboy admitted. "Matthew and cook also have scars on them, but later Matthew cut a scar in that place in order to get rid of this brand. All in all, after we got together, we six covered our faces and came to Reuben's house in the dark, intending to kill them when they were drunk and unprepared But then things began to get out of control There are ten people in Reuben's side. Except for two playmates, the rest are the security personnel assigned to him by his father, but they are all embroidered pillows.
"Matthew rushed to the front and killed the only two people in the room who were still sober. Then we started to kill them. But besides Reuben's people, there were two tricksters in the room. Cook and I had a dispute about whether to kill the two tricksters. Cook said that they might have been there when Mary was killed, but I said we couldn't To be sure, we are here for revenge, not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Just when we were quarreling, one of Cook's friends tried to sneak out while we were not paying attention, so one of Cook's friends chased her out and directly shot her. When he came back, he also killed another one.
"And then When Sheriff Thompson heard the gunshot, he rushed over. He pulled out his gun and wanted to shoot at me. I had no choice but to get rid of him before him. By this time, everything was in a mess. Cook told us that it was too late to retreat. Everyone in the town knew the grudge between us and Reuben. When the new sheriff took office, we would still die However, it's better to take the lead and kill all the people in the town. "
"So you really slaughtered the whole town?" Wendy asked.
"Yes, both men and women, from the elderly to children, we shot and killed all the living things we could see. I will always remember that night, everything in front of me was red, and we didn't leave a living. I said before that we lived in a small town, so we all knew each other. Some even talked to me during the day, and that night I had to kill them myself.
"In the early days, the fighting was almost one-sided, but later, when we heard the gunfire, more and more people were armed, especially the last two families. They had many sons who blocked the door with tables and beds and shot us from the second floor window. It was a bloody battle. It lasted until dawn, and there were only me, Matthew and cook left in the whole town I don't know what it is, but it's certainly beyond the scope of revenge. "
The old cowboy's eyes were full of regret. "Afterwards, the three of us sat in the middle of the town, looking at each other, and no one spoke to each other. Then cook dragged a broken leg home and shared the money he had saved from the ranch with us. In the afternoon, the three of us went our separate ways."
"Matthew and I both chose to live an ordinary life. Matthew went to Lincoln County, opened a ranch with his money, married and had children. I wandered aimlessly for a period of time, and finally came to glen town to drive away two gangsters who harassed and blackmailed in bars. The local people unexpectedly elected him as a sheriff, and lived here. As for cook, he was the only one …… Only when I got his news did I know that he formed cook gang and claimed to be responsible for the affairs in the small town. I knew that he was protecting us, especially Matthew. Cook liked Matthew very much and always regarded him as his son. Especially after Mary died, Matthew was cook's only relative in the world.
"I don't know why he wanted to break Matthew's peaceful life. It's more than ten years since then. It doesn't make sense." The old cowboy frowned."But he did find Matthew." Zhang Heng said, "if you want to stop him, you have to stop them before they get to Lincoln County. I have 15 people on my side. They can get to glen town in the afternoon. How much can you get?"
The people Zhang Heng is looking for are the miners and farmers in bliss. They can't seek help from other law enforcers. Fortunately, after a long night of negotiation, the people in bliss have finally reached a preliminary consensus to solve the external threat of cook gang. They picked out 15 people with the best shooting skills. Zhang Heng and Wendy go to glen town to find the old cowboy And they followed.
"Four, the four you saw that day." The old cowboy said, "they are the only people who can be trusted."
"I'm sorry. Are you talking about the guy I tied up and left on the side of the road?" Wendy muttered, "is that guy reliable? He doesn't look much older than me."
"It's better to have something than nothing. In this way, we'll have 20 people. Although we suffer a little in number, we can have a fight at least." Zhang Heng took the words.
