v2 Chapter 344： Zhang Heng's trouble

A bear-like man calls himself Ridge.

Zhang Heng got good news and bad news from Richie's mouth.

The good news is that he now finally knows where Lincoln County is in the main mission. The bad news is that the place is quite far from where he is now, and he has to go south and cross this Gobi.

According to Rich, horseback riding can take up to two days at the fastest and is not very safe along the way.

As for the train ...

"The train has not been here for a while. This place originally had a copper mine. This town was established at that time. The town was basically miners and their families, but then the copper mine was emptied ... … I'm not sure, maybe there's a little bit more left, but it's estimated to be 200 feet down, it's hard to dig, so as you can see, everyone in the town has moved away.

"Then why are you still there?"

Zhang Heng poured himself another glass of whiskey.

"We're not in town ... Doing a small business nearby." Rich's eyes flashed.

"what business?"

"The fur business, but this year the fur business has been difficult to do, and even **** skins are not as valuable as before, and those small things are getting harder and harder to find." Richie complained.

"So this place is your stronghold?"

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

"How many people do you have?"

"Seven people, you saw it, uh, I'm left now ..." Rich asked a plea in his eyes. "Sorry sir, I sincerely apologize to you for everything that happened before." The stories about Chinese friends were made up by me. I was drinking too much and talking nonsense ... "

"Huh." Zhang Heng heard nothing and drank whiskey again. "But why did I see eight horses at the bar door? Don't tell me that one is the bar owner. Considering his physical condition, I don't think he You can still use horses. "

"Well ... we were eight, not nine, but after a little trouble, we lost two companions, but one of them was still there. Please, sir, I have everything I know I ’ve told you, I know you are a good and respectable person. Today ’s things are our own fault, but we ’ve got the punishment we deserve. For God ’s sake, that ’s all for now. So, I ... I have $ 15 in my pocket, I can give it to you, "Rich pleaded.

Zhang Heng heard that he passed half a glass of whiskey in his hand.

Rich's eyes flashed a happy look, and he quickly took the glass of wine that symbolized peace, drank his neck and drank it, but when his eyes fell back to the front, he saw the black hole muzzle.

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

After waiting for Richie to answer, he pulled the trigger.

After a shot, the glass fell to the ground and the bar finally quieted down.

Zhang Heng took the [Vow Ring] from Rich's body and put it back in his backpack. Although this thing only had the quality of F, it was unexpectedly easy to use, especially during the trial. Being "perceived by the other party" makes it a portable, small polygraph.

Zhang Heng took a moment to search this small bar, found food and a few barrels of drinking water in the storeroom, and made himself the first dinner after coming to this copy.

Then he held a plate with bacon and potatoes, sat outside the bar door, and watched the sunset to finish the meal. Considering the distance from Lincoln County, Zhang Heng did not rush into the road, but decided to stay here. After a night of rest in the deserted town, he took a rifle and inspected a nearby area thoroughly after eating.

Rich didn't lie about the town. It's really been abandoned for quite some time. Except for him and his associates, no one usually comes here.

There are many similar small towns in the west. Most of them are built on nearby resources. Miners, ranchers, and gold rushers come together to bring their families and family members into production. They also need to live and play. However, with the depletion of resources, people had to move to new places to live, and the original towns became desolate, and even people went empty.

It is now an empty city.

Zhang Heng quickly completed his inspection and found a clean place to sleep in the dwellings on the opposite street.

He returned to the bar early the next morning. The first thing he did was change his clothes. His skin tone was a little eye-catching, but what was more eye-catching was his wear. Although the short-sleeved shorts were cool, they couldn't stand it. In the scorching sun, if he wants to travel long distances ~ www.novelhall.com ~, he needs to update his equipment.

Leather boots, shirts, leather pants, denim scarves, etc. All these things were contributed by Rich and his companions. Zhang Heng found a guy close to his figure and changed into the other's clothes. In addition, he took two Colt revolvers and put them in the holster around his waist.

As for the more powerful lever rifle, considering that this trip to Lincoln County was to settle there, it was not a problem, Zhang Heng did not take it, and there were already two revolvers enough to defend him.

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

In addition, Ricky's previously promised $ 15 Zhang Heng also got it. Unfortunately, these guys are not rich, and the eight people only contributed less than $ 50. Fortunately, the money was added together. It should be enough for him to live for some time.

Before leaving, Zhang Heng opened another barrel of whiskey, sprinkled it on the body and the floor, and painted a match.

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

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

But his troubles have just begun.

There is a lot of distance from here to Lincoln County. It will not only take a lot of time to walk past, but it will not be too comfortable to face the scorching sun. In view of the abandoned train here, it is obviously impossible to count on, so Zhang Heng There is only one choice left.

He looked at the eight horses chained outside the bar. Last night, he also brought a few bales of hay for dinner to these eight guys. After observing them, the darkest batches of black horses looked the strongest. Lively, so he was ruled out by Zhang Heng first, and the other horses were also very vigilant when he approached. They kept digging with the hoof or shaking their heads, and they didn't look like friendly partners.
