48 Hours a Day

Chapter 635: Chewing Smoke and Horseshoe (End)

This was a special case, even before the normal deadline was reached, Zhang Heng completed the main task ahead of schedule.

The search for lucky horseshoes was automatically accomplished after encountering Cook and Matthew, and the task of settling in Lincoln County was successfully accomplished two weeks after he owned the ranch.

So now he's practically out of task pressure.

His western life had only just begun, and after an extra 24 hours of redemption, his copy time had been extended to 520 days, and shortly after taming the bad boy, he had also received his share of the reward.

Of these, Cook provided him with $10,000, and he killed a total of 20 Cook bandits back and forth, contributing another $8,000, so he eventually got a total of $18,000.

The money was already undoubtedly huge in the 19th century in the United States.

The cost of materials for the construction of the house was less than 500 yuan, and the remaining money was enough for Zhang Heng to spend the rest of his worry-free life.

The other day, the old cowboy and the drunk sheriff came together and brought back the news of the remaining Cook bandits. Although the peasants and miners were not very good at shooting, there were also old cowboys and the young deputy sheriff. After a night of hunting, they killed several more people and eventually only four people ran away. They were basically incapable of doing anything worse.

However, in the interests of safety, especially in view of the safety of the Matthews, Zhang Heng later went on another trip, which took two months to locate all four of them, two of whom were handed over to the local magistrate and two others were killed by him when he resisted.

So far, the Cook Gang thing is over.

However, Zhang Heng wasn't idle. In addition to horsemanship, there is still a lot to learn in this western copy. Besides horseshoe hunting, there is also a technique that Zhang Heng is more interested in. It goes without saying that Zhang Heng hopes that his shooting skills can be further improved through the practice of rapid shooting, and cattle hunting... is actually a technical life.

Especially with the use of condoms, great cowboys can get whatever prey they want. When the herd is frying, especially when testing the technical and psychological qualities of cowboys, it is necessary to catch up with the cow in the shortest possible time, throw the condoms out and uniform them.

This technique can also be used on human beings and, without the use of lethal weapons, a rope can be used to quickly render a target incapacitated.

In addition, Zhang Heng is also following the whereabouts of the game props in this round of replicas, but unfortunately there is no news in this regard.

Zhang Heng now knows the origin of the game props, basically every prop is related to a god, just as behind each copy there will be a god, the copy has a unique character, however, the god is not necessarily only in one copy, so according to the bartender lady, there will also be a situation where there are no props in the copy.

Zhang Heng doesn't know which god this copy corresponds to, the god of the West? Cowboy god? The god of barbarity and the Statue of Liberty seem to make sense in this context, but since the other party does not appear like the gods in previous copies, it is clear that they do not want to have any further communication with Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng Nature will not be idle to mess with each other.

However, his quiet life in peace and grazing did not last long. Six months later, he was involved in the county war in Lincoln County, which lasted five months between Major Murphy, the most powerful man in Lincoln County, and the ranchers around town. Of course, the previous period was harassment and assassination by some of you.

Until the fifth month of the war, when Zhang Hengti's gun joined, the ranchers began to take an overwhelming advantage, and eventually both sides renegotiated their contracts. Major Murphy promised to halve the price of the monopolized goods purchased from the East Coast after all the gunmen hired were killed or injured, and never raised the price, while selling the two ranches in his hand, no longer referring to the livestock industry in Lincoln County.

The five-month war in Lincoln County was finally over.

Zhang Heng's greatest gain in this county war was not the purchase of a ranch for Major Murphy at a low price. After all, he could not settle here forever. The amount of money meant less to him than others.

What really interests him is a shooter named Billy Boy.

If Zhang Heng remembers correctly, this guy is one of the most frequently appeared characters in future western films, there are a lot of stories about him.

But the real man was not as wild as in the movies. Instead, he was quite young and very shy. He only recently arrived in Lincoln County, was employed by a rancher, and joined the county wars in Lincoln County.

Zhang Heng fought alongside him a few times, Billy Boy certainly wasn't as godly as he was in the film, but he did shoot fast, and Zhang Heng generously told him about his quick-fire training methods at the cost of a beer.

The last two months Zhang Heng basically did nothing. He practiced drawing and shooting, and finally upgraded his shooting skills to LV3. In this way, whether it was long-range sniping or hand-to-hand shooting, he was silent.

In addition, both riding and cattle rushing skills eventually combine to become an lv2 skill called cowboy.

Zhang Heng split the remaining $15,000 into two bags as he walked away.

One bag was buried under Matthew's circle fence, and another under his circle fence.

Then he picked a nice day and took Wendy on another hunt.

When the two returned to the woods of the original Zhang Heng and Cook wars, calm had been restored, and those bodies had long been taken by the bailiffs that night, the hunter's cabin had been refurbished and cleaned, and the hunters who stayed there had chopped wood in the evening.

The only thing that leaves behind is probably bullet marks on the door.

Zhang Heng and Wendy returned here with the beaten rabbit and deer before sunset. Zhang Hengsheng caught fire and began to skin the meat.

Wendy sat in front of the campfire and watched him get busy.

“You haven't told me your history. ”

“Does that matter?” Zhang Heng did not turn around and asked back.

“Well... if I tell my child your story in the future, how can I tell him where you're from, how did you get here, how did you meet me, and thus embark on a journey together? ”

“It wasn't my history that got us on the journey together, it was your insistence. You were the stubbornest kid I'd ever met. You knocked on my door before dawn, and I wasn't awake, but looking into your eyes, I knew that if I didn't respond to this bear child's request, this guy would haunt me in all sorts of ways over the next week, annoying me to death, and I couldn't do anything. ”

“Well, was I that annoying?” Wendy blushed.

“10,000 times more annoying than you can imagine.” Zhang Heng reached out and touched her hair, "but then that night you saved your mother and father, it was really... very brave move, very brave, you are a girl, but stronger than most of the men I met. ”

Wendy seemed a little embarrassed, "You saved our family that night. ”

“Yes, but I couldn't make it before Cook killed your mother if it wasn't for the time you got with the shotgun.” Zhang Hengdao, “so you can say that you changed your destiny, son. ”
