"We thought about solving this problem through the law, but the Pacific Union Railroad is very powerful, and it is a matter of their word to build a railway for a town that does not give you, and a town with a railway is developing rapidly, and there will be more and more new immigrants, on the contrary, it is difficult for the goods in the town to be transported...... We were in a small town with less than fifty people in the town, and everyone was looking forward to the railroad being built to make life better, and Reuben was obviously aware of this, so he used this to blackmail the sheriff of the town to cover it up.

The old cowboy seemed to be caught up in the memory, and after a pause, he continued, "The sheriff in town at that time was Mr. Thompson, and he was completely on the side of the Pacific Union Railroad, almost like their loyal dog, and the Thompson Medal insisted that Mary was robbed and killed by robbers nearby. ”

"Then we wanted to give Thompson and the Pacific Union through the rest of the town, but we found that no one wanted to stand with us at all, and everyone wanted the railroad more than to have justice done, and that's why the lucky horseshoe was born, and Cook said to go to the sheriff of TM, if no one can give us justice, then we will create our own justice.

“…… In addition to us, Cook had written to two of his friends at the time, and they had also rushed to town, plus another cowboy who had worked for Cook, and there were six of us, all the members of Lucky Horseshoe. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Heng interrupted the old cowboy, "Is that horseshoe-shaped brand on your chest left after adding the lucky horseshoe?" It was precisely because Zhang Heng saw this mark when he searched the old cowboy at the mouth of the valley before that he suspected that the latter was related to the main quest.

"Yes, that's right," admitted the old cowboy, "Matthew and Cook have them too, but Matthew later cut a scar in that place in order to get rid of the brand, and this is a later thing, anyway, when the six of us were all together, we covered our faces together, and went to the house of Reuben's gang in the dark, intending to kill them all while they were drunk and defenseless, but then things began to get out of control...... There were ten people on Ruben's side, and except for two playmates, the rest were the security guards assigned to him by his director's father, but those guys were all embroidered pillows.

"Matthew rushed to the front, and directly killed the only two people in the room who were still conscious, and then we also started to kill, but there were two servants, in addition to Reuben's people, there were two servants, and I had an argument with Cook about whether to kill those two girls, and Cook said that they might have been there when Mary was killed, but I said that we can't be sure of this, we are here for revenge, not to kill innocents, just when we were arguing, a servant girl wanted to sneak out while we were not paying attention, So one of Cook's friends chased her out and shot her outright, and when he returned, he killed the other girl as well.

And then ...... Sheriff Thompson heard the gunshots and rushed over, he pulled out his gun, and wanted to shoot at me, I had no choice but to kill him before him, and by this time everything was in chaos, and Cook told us that it was too late to retreat, and everyone in the town knew about the feud between us and Reuben, and when the new sheriff took office, we would still be killed, in this case, it was better to take the first step and simply kill all the people in the town. ”

"So, you really slaughtered the whole town?" Wendy asked.

"That's right, both men and women, from the old man to the child, we shot every living thing we could see, I will always remember that night, everything in front of my eyes was red, we didn't leave a single living mouth, I said before that we lived in a small town, so we all knew each other, and some even talked to me during the day, and that night I had to kill them with my own hands.

"In the early days, the battle was almost one-sided, but later, more and more people were armed when they heard the gunshots, especially the last two families, who had many sons, blocked the gate with tables and beds, and shot at us from the windows on the second floor, and it was a bloody battle, which lasted until dawn, and there were only three living people left in the whole town, me, Matthew, and Cook, and almost all of them were wounded, I don't know what it was, but it was certainly beyond the scope of revenge."

The old cowboy's eyes were also full of regret, "Afterwards the three of us sat in the middle of the town, looked at each other, and neither of us spoke, and then Cook dragged a broken leg home, and divided the money he had saved from the ranch with us, and in the afternoon the three of us went our separate ways." ”

Matthew and I both chose to live incognito and live an ordinary life, Matthew went to Lincoln County, used the money in his hand to open a ranch, married a wife and had children, I wandered aimlessly for a while, and finally came to Glen Town, drove away two thugs who harassed and blackmailed in a bar, was unexpectedly elected by the locals to become a sheriff, and lived here, as for Cook...... I learned that he formed the Cook Gang, claiming to be responsible for the previous things in the town, and I knew that he was there to protect us, especially Matthew, Cook liked Matthew very much, and always regarded him as his own son, especially after Mary's death, Matthew was Cook's only relative in this world.

"I don't know why he broke Matthew's peaceful life, it's been more than a decade since what happened, and it doesn't make sense." The old cowboy frowned.

"But he did find Matthew." Zhang Heng said, "If you want to stop him, you have to stop them before they reach Lincoln County, there are fifteen people on my side, they can rush to Glen Town in the afternoon, how much can you make up over there?" ”

The people Zhang Heng was looking for were the miners and farmers in Bliss, and there was no way to ask for help from other law enforcers in this matter, but fortunately, after a long night of negotiations, the people of Bliss finally reached a preliminary consensus, first solve the external threat of the Cook Gang, and they picked out fifteen people with the best marksmanship, Zhang Heng and Wendy took the first step and came to Glen Town to find the old cowboy, and they followed.

"Four, the four people you saw that day." "Only they are the ones who can be completely trusted." ”

"Sorry, are you talking about the guy I tied up and threw on the side of the road?" Wendy muttered, "Can that guy be trusted, he doesn't look much older than me." ”

"It's better than nothing, so we will have twenty people, although we have a bit of a loss in numbers, but we can finally fight." Zhang Heng took over and said.
