Chapter 128: Retirement
Chapter 128 At this time of retirement, the rest of the cowboys also came back to report, and they really didn't find the rest of the situation, Yin Hang said: "Let's go and see!" ”。 Falcao and the others next to him also nodded in agreement.
After passing through the pasture, they saw that on the other side of the fence, there were three buildings, in the middle of which was a small two-story building, which was not large in scale, and there was also a building on each side of it, which seemed to be apartments for residents.
Simon said: "Let's go in and have a look at these apartments, beware of cold guns!" With that, he turned sideways and tilted his head at Yin Hang and the others. Yin Hang, Michael, and a few police officers followed Simon into the small second floor in the middle. The rest of the people also divided into their own groups and entered the buildings on either side.
Yin Hang entered the door, walked through a very short corridor, and Simon came to the living room on the first floor, and saw some food on a dining table, but they were all cold now, it seemed that someone was halfway through eating, and suddenly left because of something.
Simon waved his hand to a few people next to him and said, "Go and check out the rooms!" ”。
Yin Hang said: "Two pieces of tableware!" There should be two people, and the only ones who enjoy such treatment in this ranch are Blackjack and his brother. ”
Simon picked up a small picture frame with a black and white photo from a small cabinet next to him, and said, "You're right, this is where Black Jack and his brother live." With that, he handed the photo frame to Yin Hang.
The latter took it and looked at it, and saw that there was a person on it, it was Blackjack!
But in the photo, it seems to be one or two years younger than the one I just saw! It was not as unkempt as it is now, and there was a twenty-one or two-year-old young man next to him, who looked three points like Black Jack, and after Yin Hang read it, he put the photo frame on the cabinet again, and said: "Black Jack may have been eating with his brother at the time, but after knowing that we came, he let his brother go, but he stayed." ”
Simon said: "My analysis is similar to yours, except you look at the gun cabinet next to it!" ”。
Yin Hang looked in the direction of Sergeant Simon's finger, and saw a cabinet standing there, and there was a rifle on the right wall inside, and there were eight or nine bullets scattered under the cabinet.
In addition to these, there was also a small iron box with a pattern inside, Yin Hang reached out and picked it up, and found that there were five yuan bills inside.
Simon also walked to the side and said, "It seems that little Jack was saved by his brother's backhand." ”
"Wow oooo While the two were talking, suddenly footsteps sounded, and the cowboys, who had been checking on the situation in the other rooms, returned to the hall again; "Sheriff, there's no one else, but it looks like there's only two people in the whole building!"
Simon nodded and said, "Okay, let's go out first." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, before the group could go outside, another cowboy walked in from the outside, and opened his mouth and said, "Sheriff, Mr. Eastwood, we have found horseshoe prints not far behind, and it looks like someone has just run away from here." ”
Simon and Yin Hang glanced at each other and said, "Let's go!" Check it out! ”。
The group immediately walked out of the house and came to a path behind them, and under the guidance of the cowboy, they saw the footprints of a horse, and they went away along the path. Judging from the fact that the footprints are still very clear, it will not take long for them to go.
Simon immediately pointed at several police officers and two cowboys who were good at tracking traces, and said, "You, and you and you!" Get the horse at once, chase it down, and see who runs away! ”。
"Okay sheriff!".
"No problem! Let's go now. ”
“……”
A few people said yes and ran back quickly. After a while, he rode back again, nodded at Simon and Yin Hang, and then immediately followed the trail.
Yin Hang lit a cigar, puffed out a puff of smoke, and said, "Okay, let's go back first, I'll let Douglas handle the ranch problem." ”
Simon nodded and said to the rest, "Okay, let's go back first, Mr. Eastwood has a treat at the new restaurant in Thornton in the evening!" ”。
"Hahaha!! That's great!! The crowd shouted.
At this time, the requirements of the people were very low, and the operation was still very smooth, so everyone was very happy when they heard this. After Yin Hang heard this, he immediately said in a loud voice: "Plus a red envelope of ten yuan per person!" ”。
"Whew! ~! ~! As soon as Yin Hang's words fell, someone suddenly snorted!!
The group of people and horses found their mounts, and Yin Hang also came to his handsome black horse, pressed the horse's back, turned over on the horse, and said loudly: "Okay, let's go!" ”。
After that, lead the crowd, "Step, step, step!" ran out of the ranch and began to return to Locke Town the same way as they came.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when they arrived at Yin Hang's ranch, Yin Hang picked up his daughter-in-law, "Gun Beauty Mona", and went to Rock Town together, but Mona was in a carriage.
When they arrived at Rock Town, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost two o'clock, so Yin Hang waved his hand, and the gang all ran to the newly opened restaurant in Thornton.
Yin Hang looked at the newly built restaurant, and saw a sign hanging on it, which read: "Hotel California, USA!" ”
Kindness! Fortunately, there is no California beef noodle brand! Laughing and following everyone into the house, the scale inside is not large, there are only a dozen tables in total, but it is enough for these people to sit down. But at this time, there were a lot of guests inside, so I had to divide nearly half of the people and go to Thornton's original tavern.
Thornton wasn't in the new store, and it was a woman in her forties. There's also a guy who runs the hall.
This woman, Yin Hang and others all know, but she is Thornton's wife, Yin Hang told everyone not to be polite, find a place to sit down, whatever you want to eat, as long as there is anything here!
Then he put his arm around Mona's waist, which was still not protruding, and came to the bar, and said, "Hi, Mrs. Thornton, it's a pleasure to see you again." ”
Thornton's wife said, "Hello! Mr. Eastwood, I'm glad to meet you too, and Mona! What do you two want first? ”。
Yin Hang said: "Just come to some barbecue"! Then he continued: "Is Thornton in his original store?" ”。
After hearing this, Mrs. Thornton pursed her lips and said, "He feels good about himself now, and always praises himself every night, saying that he is now the biggest restaurant boss in the neighborhood, my God!" You don't see that face! So...... He doesn't have to be where he is now, sometimes at home, sometimes in a new store, or in the surrounding towns! ”。
Hey! Yin Hang could imagine Thornton's smug expression and Mona looking at each other and smiling.
Mona said, "Now that you're done with Blackjack, when are you going to San Bernardino?" ”。
Yin Hang said: "It's tomorrow!" I'll go early, and I'll be back with you sooner! ”。
Mona said, "Why don't I go with you." ”
Yin Hang: "Enh? After a sigh, he looked at Mona's stomach and said, "You really don't take our children seriously!" The train was so sinful. ”
Mona said, "It's okay! We can buy a few more tickets and then I can lie down in my seat! ”。
"Are you really going?" Yin Hang turned his face and asked seriously.
"yes!" Mona replied calmly.
"I'll have to ask your father first!" Yin Hang shrugged his shoulders and said.
"He'll definitely agree!" Mona said "hehe" twice.
This chick is too wild! I'm not honest when I'm pregnant, and I'm going to go out for fun in a few days! Yin Hang squinted at her and said, "I didn't bring you here if I knew I wouldn't have brought you here." ”
At this time, the big guy has already shouted at the five and six Hu Eaters to stuff up, frequently raise their glasses, and dry the tequila, whiskey and other liquors. Yin Hang also accompanied them for two drinks, and then returned to Mona's side again, accompanying his wife to start eating and drinking.
"Hey! Look who's coming! Ha ha! Clint! And little Mona, how does it taste? My latest black pepper steak doesn't taste great! A fat man walked in from the door, his belly was like a pregnant woman, and he greeted Yin Hang loudly when he saw him.
Yin Hang turned his face to see that it was Thornton, and saw that he was wearing a brand-new suit, an English top hat, and a gentlemanly demeanor, but he still always liked to scratch his stomach with his hands.
Yin Hang laughed, looked at Thornton, and said, "Thornton, it looks like you're getting rich." ”
Thornton and Yin Hang are also old acquaintances, and they are also partners, so they sat next to Yin Hang without seeing anything else, and they didn't look at their wives at all, and said, "Have a glass of whiskey!" After that, he turned to Yin Hang and said, "How about it, I heard that you came back a few days ago, why did you come here now." ”
His wife seemed to be very well-behaved, so she didn't interject, and directly poured Thornton a glass of wine and handed it over.
When Yin Hang saw this picture, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Thornton, you look a little different...... Kindness!! How to put it, it's kind of ...... Cruel! ”。
"Cool?"! Thornton thought for a moment, then became happy, and laughed, "That's right! I'm just cool! I love the word cool! ”。
"I've been with Mona for the last two days, and I'm dealing with Blackjack, so I'm here now." Yin Hang said.
"*! Blackjack is a dog-and-girl diehard, and always harasses our convoys by force! Thornton said, "Tell me, Clint, tell me he's finished?" ”。
Yin Hang nodded and said, "Yes!" He's finished! ”。
"Yes!" Thornton took a sip of wine and said, "You know, I used my life savings to invest in the transportation company, hehehe!" Thank you for telling me the good news! ”。
It turned out that Thornton, the tavern owner, was a shrewd person, and later he got better and better with Yin Hang, and seeing Yin Hang's career getting bigger and bigger, he couldn't help but have the idea of making some money with Yin Hang, so when Douglas was going to open a transportation company here, Thornton felt that the opportunity had come, so he pressed all the money he could get together and got five percent of the shares of the transportation company, so he cared so much about Black Jack's life and death at this time!
"Clint, when are you going to go to San Bernardino?" Thornton said.
"Tomorrow!" Yin Hang said.
"How about taking me with you?" Thornton said.
"You're going too?" When Yin Hang spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Thornton in the bar, and found that this girl didn't seem to hear at all.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Thornton scratched his pregnant belly with his hand and smiled, "I said I was going to open a restaurant all over California!" ”。
Yin Hang raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you spend all your money by taking a stake in the transportation company?" ”。
Thornton laughed again and said, "Yes, but these are not very profitable, I mean my restaurants, hehe!" Your barbecue is very popular, and I sell a lot of alcohol! ”。
After hearing this, Yin Hang nodded and said, "No problem, then you come to my ranch apartment to find me before noon tomorrow, and we will leave in the afternoon, how about it?" ”。
"No problem, I'm always ready!" Thornton said.
The two of them talked for a while, and Sheriff Simon came over, sat down next to him, said hello to Thornton, and said, "Clint, I have something to tell you." ”
Yin Hang said: "Okay, let's go outside?" ”。
"Oh! No! That's it here. Simon said, "Remember when I extended an invitation to you?" I want you to succeed me as sheriff of Locke! ”
Yin Hang smiled: "Of course I remember, what's wrong?" You still want me to take over your class? ”。
"No!" Simon also laughed, "If you take my shift, then Locke Town may have one more sheriff who is always not here." ”
"Hehe," Thornton interjected, "isn't it! ”
Simon nodded and said, "I'm retiring soon, so I want to move my family to San Bernardino, where not many people know me!" ”
Yin Hang understood what Simon meant when he said this, at this time, the western sheriff, who is not an enemy all over the world, will not belong to the political axe personnel after retirement, so these enemies will no longer care about the identity of the other party's sheriff, and said: "What about your ranch?" ”
Simon said: "It has been handed over to Moral Russ to start a joint ranch together, and I just need to wait for the dividends every year!" After a pause, he continued, "Do you remember my brother-in-law?" After our family moved in, he was just right for you to help you build a steel mill! ”
Yin Hang nodded and said: "No problem, I am going to Sacramento once, just to build a steel mill, but it is very difficult to find talents in this area, Ilsa has traveled all over half of California, and only found a few managerial talents, and there are only three technical talents, and now if your wife and brother are willing to help me, I am very welcome." ”
"But I'm leaving tomorrow at noon, can your family catch up?" Yin Hang asked.
Simon said, "I don't have to go together, I want you to help me find a place to live in San Bernardino!" ”
Yes! What a stupid question I asked! Yin Hang nodded and smiled: "No problem, I will help you build a house at your old friend Arnold # Gibson, you don't have to worry about it, just move in when the time comes!" ”
Simon patted Yin Hang on the back with a smile and said, "I'm not trying to take advantage of you, hehe!" But I accept it! ”
Yin Hang also smiled: "Of course! This is not a bargain! Arnold will be pleased, too. ”
This meal lasted from nearly two o'clock in the afternoon until nine o'clock in the evening, and then dispersed! During this period, Yin Hang asked Douglas to give everyone a ten-dollar red envelope, and of course, a few of the ranchers counted it.
Early the next morning, Mona got up earlier than Yin Hang, finished dressing, and ignored Yin Hang, "Where are you going?" The problem went straight out of the house.
This girl is so wild! Hey! Yin Hang smiled and got up, washed up, changed into a new set of clothes, put on his guns, and started his morning exercise, and when he finished his workout, he returned to the house again, he didn't have any luggage, because there was a suite on the top floor of the mansion in San Bernardino, which contained all kinds of things he needed. So just carry a small suitcase and put some food and drink in it!
Raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was almost eleven o'clock, Yin Hang was carrying a small suitcase, and was about to think about walking around the ranch when Mona came back, followed by old Donovan, and a man from the ranch, the carriage stopped directly in front of Yin Hang's eyes, and then Old Donovan and Mona's father and daughter got down from the van.
Old Donovan had a helpless expression on his face and said, "Clint, okay! I agree with her to go, but you have to promise me that when you get there, you can't let her go anywhere else! ”。
Yin Hang smiled: "How did you get your father to agree." ”
Mona said calmly: "The delivery conditions there are better, and I plan to give birth to my child in San Bernardino!" ”
Yin Hang thought about it, San Bernardino has its own hospital, and use this as a reason Old Donovan, one is to hurt his daughter, and the other is to hurt his granddaughter, or grandson, so he can still stop him from going.
Yin Hang said: "Please rest assured, after arriving in San Bernardino, I will not take her to other places!" ”
Donovan Sr. said: "Don't forget to inform me when the baby is about to be born, I will see my little grandson from the first moment of his birth!" ”
Yin Hang said: "No problem, I will definitely be on time!" ”
At this time, several carriages came running in the distance, and when they came to the front, they saw the fat man Thornton and Sheriff Simon getting out of the carriage.
Simon was the first to speak, "Our men are back, and they haven't caught up with Blackjack's brother!" ”。
Yin Hang nodded and said, "I know a master of tracking in San Bernardino, named Kennedy, Mr. Sheriff, when you return to the police station, you can use my name to send a telegram to the Blair family in San Bernardino Town, saying that there is some trouble here, and I want Kennedy to come over and help." ”
Simon said: "It's been a day, and even if that Kennedy comes right away, it will take three days, can you still find a trace?" ”
