Zhang Heng finally arrived at the county seat of Lincoln County one day earlier than originally planned.

On the night he met the bailiff, he asked the other party for advice on the basics of riding, and Morton's patience was very good, not only answering all questions, but also showing him in person, and correcting some of his wrong postures by the way.

So Zhang Heng finally ended the process of his blind man touching the elephant, and the whole teaching lasted until the second half of the night, and the poor bailiff didn't expect that he would pay such a big price for a bowl of corn paste, so that when the two broke up the next morning, he kept yawning because of lack of sleep.

In the following time, Zhang Heng continued to hurry, and at the same time, he was also exercising his riding skills.

Of course, the backache will still have backache, some things can't be changed immediately if you know the principle, and adaptation itself requires a process.

However, the good news is that Zhang Heng's riding skills are indeed improving, although there is no change in the skill panel, but he can personally feel this progress, at least now he has no problem doing some basic movements.

Zhang Heng also gave his first horse a name by the way-radish, after all, it is not good to shout like a hairless horse always shedding hairy horses.

He made a resupply as planned, and after that, he reached his destination without incident.

The county seat of Lincoln County still seems to be quite lively, the area alone is much larger than the two towns he went to before, I heard that there are two nearby mining areas, there are many farms, so there are many residents living here, there are many banks, telegraph offices, grocery stores, hotels, bars, and even schools, newspapers and other places, as a settlement, it is not bad.

Zhang Heng jumped down from the back of the radish and patted the dust on his body.

Along the way, he can be called a dusty servant, six days, five nights are spent in the wild, corn paste is almost indistinguishable from the taste, now whether it is the matter of settling, or the matter of finding lucky horseshoe has been temporarily left behind by him, the most important thing is to find a place to take a hot bath, by the way.

But before that, he still has a few small problems to solve.

Not long after he entered the town, he felt a faint hostility along the road, and an old man sitting in the sun at the door of his house spat on the ground as soon as he saw him, and the saliva was so good that it landed less than two paces in front of the radish.

Two other cowboys, who had been leaning against the stable to look at the girl, whistled, and one of them said, "Hey, Oriental boy, you'd better get out of wherever you came from, you're not welcome here." ”

He had experienced such a situation once in the previous town, and he was no stranger to it, and Zhang Heng's solution was very simple.

He directly pulled out his gun and knocked out the felt hat of the old man not far away.

The latter was stunned, and then immediately began to scold, scolding all the foul language, until Zhang Heng broke the cup in his hand again, he closed his mouth as if someone had suddenly choked his throat, and his old face was red.

The two cowboys obviously didn't expect the comer to be so arrogant, and they didn't even quarrel and pulled out their guns without saying a word.

When they also hurriedly drew their guns, the second revolver in Zhang Heng's hand was already pointed at them.

"If I were you, I'd go to the bar for a drink before the sun sets, after all, life is too short and no one knows what's going to happen in the next moment."

The two cowboys glanced at each other, and although their eyes were full of unwillingness, they finally silently stepped aside.

Then Zhang Heng looked at the old man basking in the sun, "Hey, it looks like you're going to get a new cup, I hope the next cup will stay with you a little longer." ”

The latter was so angry by this sentence that he trembled with his arms.

However, because the muzzle of the gun was pointed at his head now, no matter how angry he was, he could not say a word.

But just then, another voice spoke.

"You've got what you wanted, now, can you put your weapons away?"

It was a middle-aged man in his mid-fifties, wearing a dirty shirt and a faint smell of alcohol, and if it weren't for the same gray-looking police badge on his chest, he would probably be mistaken for a homeless man.

But he came out of the police station, and if nothing else, he should be the sheriff here.

Although the middle-aged wine cabinet in front of him and Morton that Zhang Heng met in the Gobi before are both legal personnel, there is still a little difference between the two, the sheriff is usually called the sheriff, who is elected by the town to maintain the stability of an area, and sometimes works part-time as a local judge to hold trials.

The bailiffs, also known as magistrates, are usually attached to the federation and their main job on weekdays is to hunt down or escort fugitives.

One belongs to the locality and the other belongs to the federation, and of course the main nature of their work is to maintain the stability of a region, punish the evil and promote the good.

Zhang Heng saw that the sheriff of Lincoln County had come forward, and he simply put away the pistol.

He came here to settle down, not to stir up trouble, and if he provoked ordinary people, it was better to say, if he really angered the sheriff here, he could only turn around and leave.

However, Zhang Hengdao did not regret his previous actions, although cowboys and pirates are not the same kind of people, but they still have a lot of similarities in their bones, or human beings themselves have a lot in common, Zhang Heng's two shots just now are not just to vent their anger, but also to send a signal that I am not easy to mess with.

Considering his skin color, the west of this era is at the beginning of hellish difficulty, and coming to a new territory alone does not mean that you will be safe when you shrink your head, rather than waiting to be constantly bullied to the head and the situation is getting more and more serious, it is better to simply take this opportunity to make things bigger.

In this way, if someone wants to be cheap, or if they want to be cheap, they will think about the consequences of doing so in advance.

Of course, this is not to say that Zhang Heng will be fine after that, in fact, things are more serious than he imagined, although Zhang Heng temporarily deterred these people, but it is not easy to live in a hostile environment, and this is a world where everyone has a gun, it is not easier to really do something.

A few glasses of whiskey are drunk, plus a few provocative words, it will make a person completely abandon his reason, no matter how strong Zhang Heng is, it is impossible for him to single-handedly take on an entire town, plus he can't always guard against the people around him 24 hours a day, he is also a human being after all, and he will feel tired, he can do it in a day or two, or even a week, but no matter how long it is, one day his spirit will not be able to hold back.

Zhang Heng has begun to realize that it is not easy to complete the seemingly simple task of settling in Lincoln County in the first half of the main quest.
