On the grassland, the old cowboy, Zhang Heng, Wendy and the deputy sheriff are sitting on the ground around the campfire.

They were flanked by the miners and peasants of the town of Bliss, and although they decided to act together, they were so distinct from each other that they did their own things, and looked at each other with hatred in their eyes.

The old cowboy's face flashed with apprehension.

"How?" Zhang Heng asked.

"We still have too few manpower, and we don't have enough combat experience, and there are internal contradictions, so I'm afraid it will be more than lucky to face the Cook Gang in such a state."

Zhang Heng did not answer the old cowboy's question, but asked rhetorically, "Do you know a lot about Cook?" ”

"No, most of it is still my impression of him when we lived in the town, he was an easy-going man, like his wife and daughter, the family were devout Puritans, we were all the first to arrive in the town, in a caravan, I was only six years old at the time, it is probably difficult for people today to imagine the difficulties and dangers we encountered along the way, there were robbers, Indians, bad guys, we have been through many tough battles, Cook is the best marksman among us, It's hard to imagine someone as suave as he fights so bravely.

"He's the best man in us, a natural leader, he's a god, and he cares about everybody, and we wouldn't be able to get to the settlement without him, and when the town was first built, we unanimously decided to choose him as sheriff, but he refused, he's a man who puts his family first, and he wants to spend the rest of his time with his wife after opening his own ranch, so we chose old Thompson as sheriff.

"He was also a good man worthy of respect, but unfortunately he did not sit in this position for even a year, he went to help the widow of the town to collect the arrears, and was ambushed by the debtor and his two brothers, they shot and killed him, one of whom was later caught and hanged in the next town, and two of them are still missing, some say they fled to Japan, some say they met robbers and were killed, others say that they changed their names and joined the army, in short, they cannot be found.

Then there was Morris, who had worked for four years and was shot blind in one eye while fighting a gang of robbers who had wandered into town, but he miraculously survived, but retired from the sheriff's position two years later. And then there's Thompson Jr., the son of Thompson Sr...... During this time Cook had two children, the first was a boy, but unfortunately he didn't survive, and then a girl, Mary, and I think the Cooks gave their love for their first child to this daughter.

Cook originally wanted a third child, but in the end her wife died in childbirth, and neither the adult nor the child could be saved, Cook was depressed for a while, but fortunately he still had his daughter, Mary let him successfully come out of the haze and embrace life again, and then Matthew appeared, Matthew's father was an Indian of the Apache tribe, and his mother was an English immigrant, and his birth was an accident, because of his Indian ancestry, and the people in the town did not like him.

"I had a fight with him when he first came, I was just a young man at the time, I couldn't tell right from wrong, I beat him just because he didn't like him, but I didn't expect that after this fight we became friends instead, Matthew said he came to town to get a job, but I was just a poor boy at the time, so I recommended him to Cook, because I knew that if there was one person in the town who had the heart to accept him, it would be Cook.

Sure enough, although Matthew didn't know anything at that time, he was diligent and studious, and he could see that Cook liked him very much, not only taught him to ride and shoot, but also left him at home to eat from time to time, and regarded him as his own son, the vast majority of people in this world are fools with no eyes, only a few people can see the shining point in his heart through a person's gender, race, and appearance, and Cook has such an ability.

"You all know what happened next, and I won't say any more, Cook married Mary, and then that unfortunate thing happened, and I still don't know if what we did that night was right or wrong." The old cowboy paused, "But then I thought about it, and I don't think it was an accident that things got out of hand that night, and most of us decided to avenge Mary in a hurry, but with Cook's cleverness and meticulousness, he couldn't have been unaware of the situation we faced after killing Reuben's men, so he should have made up his mind to kill all the people in the town from the beginning."

At that time, he was probably full of disappointment with the people of the town, considering that he had done so much for the town, and the people of the town should have supported him, but when Mary was killed, few people were willing to stand by him, which gave him a taste of betrayal.

"I heard what happened later, after the three of us broke up, he should have gone to the East Coast alone, killed the director of the Pacific Union Railroad, and then he came back and founded the Cook Gang, which has been the most powerful and feared gang in the West for more than a decade, they have robbed trains, ransacked towns, and even fought head-on with the Rangers, of course, they have suffered heavy losses, and at one point some people even thought they had disappeared, However, it didn't take long for them to pop up again, and they became more ferocious and powerful.

"With the exception of the larger towns, small towns like Glenn live in fear of the Cooks." The old cowboy looked into Zhang Heng's eyes, "I told you these past events to let you know how terrible Cook is, once a person like him with all kinds of excellent qualities decides to be evil, the damage he can cause will definitely be much greater than that of ordinary robbers, I don't know what happened to him after the three of us separated, and finally prompted him to take this step, but we must stop him."

"If at the beginning he was only obsessed with revenge, then everything he did after that has long been out of the scope of revenge, his hands are stained with the blood of innocents, not only those big people, but more ordinary civilians, because he doesn't know how many children have lost their fathers, wives have lost their husbands, and even entire families have been slaughtered by him, what happened to Bliss is not accidental, if he is allowed to continue like this, I don't know how many crazy things he will do." The old cowboy said with a solemn expression.
