Zhang Heng has walked a lot in the past few days, and after coming to the hotel, he took a hot shower first, washed off the dirt on his body, and washed his clothes by the way, and dried them on the windowsill, with the local temperature, it is estimated that he can dry the next morning, so that he can change into clean clothes when he wakes up.

After that, without waiting for the sun to set, Zhang Heng took off his boots and lay down on the bed.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but it certainly wasn't as long as planned, and when he was woken up by a knock on the door, it was still pitch black outside.

Zhang Heng grabbed the revolver under the pillow for the first time, and then leaned against the door, moving vigorously like a cheetah, and asked at the same time, "Who?" ”

"It's me, sir, Wendy, we just met in the afternoon at the grocery store." Humanity outside the door.

When Zhang Heng heard this, he didn't open the door immediately, but frowned and said, "What are you looking for me for?" ”

"I re-...... Thinking about your proposal for the afternoon, I think you have a point. Wendy said.

"What did I say?"

Zhang Heng tidied up his messy hair a little, quickly put the pants that had not yet dried on his body, and as for the blouse, he still decided to dry it for a while.

"You say, I'm not interested in being commanded by imps."

"That's right, you've got my answer, you can go to someone else, by the way, do you know what time it is?"

"Five o'clock in the morning, sir." Wendy replied, "I thought about it later, and thought that I could put you in charge of the investigation and I would only be in charge of giving advice, I wonder if you would be satisfied?" ”

"Who comes to talk at five o'clock in the morning?" Zhang Heng yawned.

"I'm sorry, I heard you went to bed early, and if we had been on the road early, we would have been able to reach Glenn Town in the evening, I just wish I could find my father's whereabouts sooner, especially when I think he might be in the wrong hands now, I can't sleep, please."

Wendy felt like she was waiting for a trial, and every second was extraordinarily long. After a while, she heard the sound of something moving from behind the door, Zhang Heng moved the chair at the top door, and then said, "Come in, slow down." ”

Wendy was overjoyed when she heard this, and slowly walked in from outside the door according to Zhang Heng's request.

She saw Zhang Heng holding a gun on the side, and the latter's naked upper body made her can't help but look twice.

Zhang Heng made sure that Wendy was not followed by anyone else, and no one was hiding on the stairs or something, so he finally put away the revolver in his hand and closed the door.

"Didn't your mother teach you not to enter a strange man's room at such a time?" Zhang Hengdao.

"I can protect myself." Wendy said, seeing that Zhang Heng didn't seem to believe it, she added, "If you want to do something to me, I will call it out as soon as possible, there are many people in the hotel, and this is not far from the police station, the sheriff will arrive soon, although I am not very popular in the town, but it also depends on who I am compared to, of course, I believe that you are an honest and friendly person, sir." ”

"You think about the world too simply, if I really want to do something to you by a bad person, you can't shout at all, you can't be so lucky every time, the best way to protect yourself is not to put yourself in danger."

"$80...... $80 plus your own way. Wendy didn't want to dwell on the topic and raised the offer again.

Zhang Heng was noncommittal when he heard this, "In contrast, what I'm more curious about is why you have to recognize me, as you said, you can hire other people at this price." ”

"I'm not sure if they're credible." Wendy was silent for a moment and said, "There's one thing I didn't tell you, my father offended Lawrence Brown. G. Murphy, he is the most powerful man in town, the grocery store, bar, bank and inn in the town are all his, except for Sheriff Terrell, the people in the town either work for him or are on his side, this is one of the reasons why I chose to come to you at this time, I don't know if the disappearance of my father has something to do with Major Murphy, I don't want to be seen as frequent contact between us, so as not to arouse his vigilance. ”

"Well, that's what really explains why you hired a stranger like me to come to your father." Zhang Heng snorted, "But are you planning to keep this matter from me?" For 80 yuan to offend the actual ruler of the entire county, this deal is not very cost-effective. ”

"No, sir, I was going to tell you along with other things on the road, and things are not as bad as you think, Lincoln County is huge, and although Major Murphy has the final say in the town, but outside, the ranchers and mine owners are basically against him."

"Even so, it's still a loss-making deal for me." Zhang Heng poured himself a glass of water.

Wendy gritted her teeth, "What about a good horse?" We also have thirty horses on our pasture, and you can pick one of them, and I noticed that your horses are not of a noble breed and are old. ”

Zhang Heng didn't know how the radish downstairs would feel when he heard that he was being evaluated like this, but what Wendy said was the truth, Zhang Heng knew his own business, even if Wendy pulled the red rabbit out now, he wouldn't be able to ride it.

But the price of a good horse itself is not cheap, at least eighty or ninety dollars, and Wendy is equivalent to directly doubling it. This should also be the final bottom line for her, who only raised the price of five yuan and five yuan before.

One hundred and seventy dollars can be considered, this money is enough for Zhang Heng to live for half a year, anyway, even if he doesn't mess with the guy named Murphy, the other party won't like him because of his skin color, and it shouldn't be a big problem if he just finds someone.

Zhang Heng thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Do you know where the lucky horseshoe is?" ”

"Huh?" Wendy was at a loss when she heard this, and she didn't know what Zhang Heng's sentence meant, "You want a horseshoe?" ”

"Nothing, when I didn't ask." Zhang Heng originally asked because he heard Wendy say that her family's ranch raised a lot of horses, and it was not surprising that he didn't get the answer he wanted, he said to Wendy, "Go get some food." ”

"What do you mean?" Wendy said nervously.

"We'll be on our way after dinner, didn't you say we'll be there in the evening?"

"No, it's actually a bit of a road, and you can only get to the town where you stop halfway at night." Wendy was overjoyed when she heard this, "I've brought something to eat, I'll bring it right away." ”

"And what about you, how are you going to get there, do you need to hire a carriage?"

"You underestimate the rancher's daughter too much, I'll ride with you."
