Zhang Heng has walked a lot in the past few days. After coming to the hotel, he took a hot bath, washed away the dirt from his body, washed his clothes by the way, and dried them on the windowsill. It is estimated that he can do it, so he can change into clean clothes when he wakes up.
After waiting for the sun to set, Zhang Heng took off his boots and lay down on the bed.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but it was certainly not as long as planned. When he was awakened by the knock on the door, it was still dark outside.
Zhang Heng grabbed the revolver under the pillow for the first time, then leaned his body against the door, his movements were like a cheetah, and he asked, "Who?"
"It's me, sir, Wendy, we just met at the grocery store door in the afternoon." Humane outside the door.
Zhang Heng heard but did not open the door immediately, but frowned, "What are you looking for?"
"I re -... thought about your proposal in the afternoon, and I think you're right." Wendy said.
"What did I say?"
Zhang Heng tidy up his messy hair slightly, and quickly put the trousers that are not yet dry on his body. As for the shirt, he decided to hang it for a while.
"You said, I'm not interested in being directed by an imp."
"Yes, you've got my answer, you can go find someone else, by the way, do you know what time it is?"
"Five in the morning, sir," Wendy replied, "I thought about it later and thought that I could give you full responsibility for this investigation. I'm only responsible for providing advice. I don't know if you can be satisfied with this?"
"Who will talk about things at five in the morning?" Zhang Heng yawned.
"Sorry, I heard that you fell asleep very early, and if we get on the road early, we can get to Glentown at night. I just want to find my father's whereabouts, especially when I think he may fall into some bad hands I can hardly fall asleep here, please. "
Wendy felt like she was waiting for trial, and every second was extra long. After a while, she heard something moving behind the door. Zhang Heng removed the chair from the top door and said, "Come in, slow down."
Wendy was overjoyed, and slowly walked in from the door according to Zhang Heng's request.
She saw Zhang Heng, who was holding a gun, and the latter's bare upper body could not help but look at her twice.
Zhang Heng determined that Wendy was not following anyone else, nor was anyone hiding on the stairs or somewhere, and finally put away the revolver in his hand and closed the door.
"Have your mother never taught you not to enter a strange male's room at this time?" Zhang Hengdao.
"I can protect myself." Wendy said, seeing Zhang Heng seem unbelieving, she added, "If you want to do something to me, I will call out the first time, there are many people in the hotel, and here is away The police station is not far away. The sheriff will be there soon. Although I am not very popular in the town, it depends on who I am, isn't it? Of course, I believe you are an honest and friendly person. "
"You think of this world too simple. If I really are a bad person and want to do something to you, you ca n’t shout out at all. You ca n’t be so lucky every time. The best way to protect yourself is not to let yourself be. At risk. "
"US $ 80 ... US $ 80, plus you have full control." Wendy didn't want to get tangled on this topic and raised the offer again.
Zhang Heng heard nothing but said, "In contrast, I am more curious about why you must recognize me, as you said, you can hire other people for this price."
"I can't determine whether they are credible." Wendy was silent for a moment. "I didn't tell you one thing. My father offended Lawrence G. Murphy. He is the most powerful man in town. His grocery store, bar, bank and hotel are all his own, except for Sheriff Terrell, people in the town either work for him or stand by his side, which is why I chose to come to you at this time For one reason, I don't know if my father's disappearance is related to Major Murphy. I don't want to be watched for frequent contacts between us to avoid his vigilance. "
"Well, this really explains why you hired a foreigner like me to come to your father." Zhang Heng snorted. "But are you going to keep hiding this from me? For 80 yuan, you offend the entire county. The actual ruler, this sale is not very cost-effective. "
"No, sir, I was going to tell you along with other things on the road, and things are not as bad as you think. Lincoln County is very big. Although Major Murphy is in the town, outside, those ranches The owner and the owner of the mine are basically opponents of him. "
"Even so, this is still a loss for me." Zhang Heng poured himself a glass of water.
Wendy gritted his teeth. "What about a good horse? We have thirty horses in our ranch ~ www.novelhall.com ~ You can pick one from the inside. I notice that your horse is not very expensive Breed, and getting older. "
Zhang Heng didn't know what the radish downstairs would think when he was judged by others, but what Wendy said was actually a fact. Zhang Heng was clear about his own affairs, even if Wendy now treats Red Rabbit as a horse He couldn't ride out.
But the price of a good horse is not cheap, at least $ 80 or $ 90, Wendy has doubled. This should be the last bottom line for her who only raised the price by five or five yuan.
With 170 dollars, you can consider it. This money is enough for Zhang Heng to live for half a year. Anyway, he wouldn't even mess with that guy named Murphy, because the other person would not like him because of his skin color. Then the problem should not be too big.
Zhang Heng thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you know where the lucky horseshoe is?"
"Ah?" Wendy said blankly, wondering what Zhang Heng's headless sentence meant. "You want horseshoes?"
"Nothing, when I didn't ask." Zhang Heng originally asked because Wendy said that her ranch had raised a lot of Ma Shun, and it was not surprising that he didn't get the answer he wanted. He said to Wendy, "Go get some food."
"What do you mean?" Wendy said nervously.
"We'll be on the road after dinner, don't you say that we can arrive at night?"
"No, it's still a bit of a road. In the evening, I can only go to the town where I settled." Wendy was overjoyed. "I have what I bring, and I'll bring it right away."
"What about you, how do you get there and need to hire you a carriage?"
"You look down on the rancher's daughter too much. I'll ride with you."
