This time, the situation was special, and even before the normal deadline, Zhang Heng completed the main task ahead of schedule.
The part to find the lucky horseshoe was reached automatically after meeting Cook and Matthew, and the task of settling in Lincoln County was successfully realized two weeks after he owned the ranch.
So now he has virtually no task pressure.
And his western life has just begun. After redeeming an additional 24 hours, his copy time was extended to 520 days. He also received his own bounty shortly after taming the bad boy.
Among them, Cook provided him with 10,000 US dollars. In addition, he also killed 20 Cook gangsters, and contributed another 8,000 US dollars to him. Therefore, he finally received a total of 18,000 US dollars. Thousands of dollars.
This money was already a huge sum in the 19th century in the United States.
It only cost less than 500 yuan to return the cost of materials for building a house, and the remaining money was enough for Zhang Heng to worry about the rest of the day.
In addition, the old cowboy and the drunk sheriff came together that day and brought back the news of the robbers left by the Cook gang. Although the peasants and miners were not good at shooting, there were still old cowboys and young deputies For a long time, after a night of chasing and killing, they killed a few more people. Only four people ran away in the end, and they basically had no ability to be evil again.
However, for safety, especially considering the safety of the Matthew family, Zhang Heng later took another trip and spent two months finding four people, two of whom were handed over to the local sheriff by Zhang Heng. And two others were shot dead by him during the rebellion.
At this point, Cook's affair has come to an end.
However, Zhang Heng didn't take a rest next time. In fact, there are still a lot of things that can be learned in this Western copy. In addition to equestrian, there are also skills that Zhang Heng is interested in. Having said that, Zhang Heng hopes that he can further improve his shooting skills through rapid-fire practice, and catching up with the cows ... is actually a technical job.
Especially with the use of the noose, the powerful cowboy can prey any kind of prey. When the herd is smashed, especially the technical and psychological quality of the cowboy is tested, it is necessary to catch up with the cow in the shortest time, throw the noose, and Its uniform.
This trick can also be used on people, without the use of lethal weapons, you can quickly disable the target with a rope.
In addition, Zhang Heng is also paying attention to the whereabouts of game props in this round of copies, but unfortunately there is no news in this regard.
Zhang Heng now knows the source of the game props. Basically, each prop is related to a deity, just like each copy will correspond to a certain god. The copy is unique, but the **** may not be in only one copy. So according to Miss Bartender, there may be cases where there are no props in the copy.
Zhang Heng doesn't know which deity corresponds to this copy, the **** of the west? God of cowboys? The gods of the wild and the goddess of liberty seem to make sense in this context, but since the other party did not show up like the gods of previous copies, it became clear that he did not want to have any further communication with Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng naturally will not be idle to provoke each other.
However, his peaceful life of peaceful grazing did not last long. Six months later, he was involved in the county war in Lincoln County. This was the battle between Major Murphy, the most powerful man in Lincoln County, and the ranchers around the town. It lasted for a full five months. Of course, the early stages were all harassment and assassinations.
The war did not break out until the fifth month, and after Zhang Heng raised his gun, the ranchers began to occupy an overwhelming advantage. Eventually, the two sides reached a new agreement. Major Murphy made a commitment after all the gunmen hired had died. The monopoly of materials purchased from the East Coast was reduced by half, and the price was never raised again. At the same time, the two ranches in his hand were sold, and the livestock industry in Lincoln County was no longer involved.
The five-month Lincoln County war has finally come to an end.
And Zhang Heng's biggest gain in this county war was not to buy a ranch of Major Murphy at a low price. After all, he couldn't settle here all the time. Not so big as everyone else.
What really interested him was a gunman named Billy Boy.
If Zhang Heng remembers correctly, this guy is one of the most frequently played characters in later Western films. There are many stories about him.
However, the real person is not as wild and unruly as in the movie. On the contrary, he is very young and very shy. He only recently came to Lincoln County, was employed by a rancher, and joined the county battle in Lincoln County.
Zhang Heng fought side by side with him several times. Of course, Billy Boy is not as godlike in the film and television works, but his shooting speed is really fast, and Zhang Heng only spent the price of a glass of beer to let Billy Boy fire his own. The training method told him generously.
In the last two months, Zhang Heng basically didn't do anything, just kept practicing gun drawing and shooting, and finally improved his shooting skills to lv3. In this way, whether it is long-range sniping or close-range fighting speed He didn't care about his quick-drawing.
In addition, the two skills of riding and bull driving eventually merged into one and became a lv2 skill called cowboy.
Before Zhang Heng left, he divided the remaining 15,000 yuan into two bags.
A bag was buried under the stables fence of Matthew's house, and another was buried under the stables of his own house.
Then he picked a good day and took Wendy to hunt again.
The two returned to the wood where Zhang Heng and Cook fought, and the situation moved back to time. Clean up, and the hunter who stayed at night chopped firewood and put it there.
The only thing left was probably the bullet marks on the door.
Zhang Heng and Wendy returned here with the rabbit and deer they had hit before sunset. Zhang Heng made a fire and began to peel and cut meat.
Wendy was sitting in front of the bonfire, watching him live.
"You haven't told me your origin."
"Is that important?" Zhang Heng asked without turning back.
"Well ... if I tell your story to my child in the future, how can I tell him where you are from, how do you get here, and meet me and embark on a journey together?"
"It's not my origins that let us embark on the journey, but your insistence at the time. You are the most stubborn little ghost I've ever seen. When the day is not dawn, you knock on my door. I did n’t wake up, but looking into your eyes, I knew that if I did n’t agree to this bear child ’s request, this guy would haunt me in various ways in the next week, making me annoying Nothing can be done. "
"Well, did I hate that then?" Wendy flushed.
"I hate 10,000 times more than you can imagine." Zhang Heng reached out and touched her hair. "But, after you saved your mother and father that night, it was really ... a very brave move. , Very brave. Although you are a girl, you are stronger than most men I meet. "
Wendy seemed to be a little embarrassed, "You saved our family that night."
"Yes, but if it wasn't for the time you got with your shotgun, I wouldn't have arrived before Cook killed your mother." child."
