48 Hours a Day

Seeing Zhang Heng's resolute attitude, Wendy didn't say anything more. She followed Zhang Heng back to her ranch.

A woman who was milking in the cowshed saw her come back and immediately dropped the milk bucket on her hand and ran over, hugging her in her arms and swallowing, “Great, they said you were kidnapped by a strange Oriental, and Matthew wasn't here, and I was dying in a hurry. ”

Wendy tried to remove her head from the woman's chest. She looked at Zhang Heng with some embarrassment. "Sorry...”

Zhang Hengyang raised his eyebrows, “It's okay, people are normal. ”

“Oh!" the woman noticed Zhang Heng at this time, immediately blocked Wendy behind herself and revealed a little vigilance in her eyes, but she probably didn't know what to say, so she stood there.

The scene was a little embarrassing, and Zhang Heng finally said, “Your daughter has been sent back by me, you better keep an eye on her, don't let her run around again. ”

Wendy's strange cooperation made Zhang Heng a little uncomfortable. Given her previous record, she had to be worried that she would sneak out again. Zhang Heng had intended to arrange another person to keep an eye on her, but this time their personnel were already nervous, so they couldn't really smoke another person to do this.

“I didn't run around, I went out to find my father.” Wendy argued.

“Whatever, you just have to stay home this time.” Zhang Hengdao, then nodded at Wendy's mother, "excuse me. ”

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he left on a radish, and Zhang Heng's front foot just left, and a carriage carrying beer on the back foot drove into Lincoln County.

The driver jumped out of the carriage and unloaded the back drum from the car with the workers around him, and the bar owner came out and saw the visitor had an accident, "Where's Baggett? Didn't he come here to deliver wine? ”

“Baggart got sick and infected with chickenpox, so this time I'll take his place.” Driving humane.

“Poor kid.” The bar owner moaned, "I hope he can make it through this. Come on, move the wine in. You haven't had lunch yet, I have a little pie left in the kitchen. ”

“That would be great.” The driver fastened the horse and smiled, revealing a row of yellow teeth.

But what the bar owner didn't notice was that the worker behind him looked a little pale. Of course, even if he did, he wouldn't pay much attention to it. The driver who worked with him, Baggett, had chicken pox, and the young man was in a bad mood.

…………

Zhang Heng took care of Wendy and went back to Old Cowboy and the others in the first place.

Far away, I saw the old cowboy cutting something with a knife. Zhang Heng walked up to him, “What, are you still a tailor? ”

“Of course I'm not a fucking tailor anymore, but you want Cook and his crew to give up that hunter's cabin and come out of there and pray I have enough tailoring skills. ”

“Hmm?”

“The only thing that worries Cook around here is Major Wade and his hundred soldiers," Old Cowboy Road, "and I plan to disguise myself as Major Wade and his men, and if we're lucky enough, the moonlight isn't that bright at night, Cook and his men aren't so sharp in sight, my plan may succeed, and if Cook realizes he's surrounded by the army, he won't be dead in that cabin anymore, he'll start running away before the siege is completely closed. ”

“Sounds good.” Zhang Hengdao.

“We better hope this works.” Old Cowboy Road.

“Any movement in the woods?” Zhang Heng asked again.

“We haven't found a large group of men and horses yet. Two kids who want to go hunting in the mountains have been persuaded back by our people, but we can't directly warn the people in the county that once Cook and his men and horses get there, they won't be able to come out alive. ”

“So what's your suggestion? ”

“We'd better hurry. ”

Having said that, the news from the cabin passed all night and no trace of the Cook gang was found.

And the next morning, Cook still didn't show up.

“What's wrong with the route you're giving me?” The old cowboy asked Zhang Heng.

“The route… should be fine, and one day before the agreed time, although it should have arrived at their speed of movement, it does not preclude some other accidents along the way, so wait.” Zhang Hengdao.

If Zhang Heng's equestrian skills are good enough, plus a good horse, he may be able to wander around the neighborhood and do some reconnaissance or something, but now, besides continuing to wait, he doesn't have a good way, Zhang Heng has made up his mind, and when this thing is over, practice riding well, and there are also rides.

Half a day went by, and some of the miners and farmers started to get restless.

They followed Zhang Heng out of fear of reprisals against their town, and as they walked, the town's defenses became weaker. What was most frightening at this point was that Cook's men did not come to attack Lincoln County, but suddenly wanted to take their town.

This situation is undoubtedly catastrophic for those who remain in town.

But the good news is that shortly after sunset, people scouting in the woods came back on horseback.

Everyone's mind became nervous immediately, because it could very well mean that the goal had finally emerged.

Sure enough, the comers screamed before they got off the horse, "The Cooks, they're the Cooks! They're here!”

The old cowboy's spirit shocked and immediately asked, "How many people are in there, Cook? ”

“I didn't dare look closely, they were very vigilant and started searching nearby as soon as they arrived at the cabin. I was afraid they would find me and I ran away after a long look.” The investigators added, “But I'm sure it was them, because I recognized one of them, and he forced us to kill Sheriff Harper, and there were a lot of them, and it was supposed to be Cook's big army, so what do we do now, let's go now? ”

“No, it's too early.” The old cowboy shook his head, "at least wait for the sun to go down completely, and see how the moonlight is at night. Let's fill our bellies and get dressed for battle. ”

After that, he pulled another tall, slightly fat guy aside, who was Major Wade's actor tonight, and while he was at it, the old cowboy finally told him how to yell at the people in the house.
