"Kenny!"

"Wall!"

"Manuel?!"

The hunchbacked old man raised his voice and called out the names of his three men, but no one answered outside the house.

It wasn't until half a minute later that there was another knock at the door.

"Pretending to be a ghost." The hunchbacked old man let out a sneer, he didn't say any more nonsense, he directly pulled the trigger, and shot all the bullets in the pistol, the other party really lifted a stone and hit his own foot this time, if he didn't make this move, the hunchbacked old man really didn't know where he was, but now this knock on the door was equivalent to revealing his position, and the thin wooden board couldn't stop the bullets pouring out.

But in the blink of an eye, the hunchbacked old man shot the bullet nest of a pistol, and when the white smoke from the muzzle cleared, there was finally no movement outside.

The hunchbacked old man tossed the pistol that was already out of bullets to Matthew, and said, "Go, open the door, and see what's going on outside." ”

Matthew hesitated, he knew that the hunchbacked old man was trying to use him as bait, but seeing that the latter turned the muzzle of the gun back to his wife, he could only pick up the pistol without bullets, pick up the kerosene lamp on the table, and walk out of the house.

Jane didn't care about her own safety at this moment, so she ran quickly to her daughter, checked her injured hand, and then opened the cabinet to look for gauze that could be used to wrap it.

Wendy, however, endured the pain, glancing over the shadows under the cabinet from time to time, where she hid the bullets from her shotgun, and tried to find an opportunity to load them into the chamber.

But the next moment the hunchbacked old man's words shattered the last trace of her illusion, "Honey, you'd better not make any more small movements, otherwise it won't be your hand that hurts, now, kick me with your shotgun." ”

Wendy could only reluctantly kick the shotgun on the ground when she heard this.

The hunchbacked old man stepped on it with his left foot, then turned to look at Matthew as he walked to the gate, who took a deep breath and pulled open the bullet-riddled door.

Outside, no gunshots rang out.

"How? Did you see his body? The hunchbacked old man asked.

"No, there are only three corpses out there, all of your men." Matthew said.

"Where's the blood?"

Matthew leaned the kerosene lamp forward again, "Well, I don't know, there's a lot of blood on the ground, but it looks like your people left it behind." ”

"Well, so I'm afraid I'm going to meet him in person." When the hunchbacked old man heard this, his expression remained unchanged, "It just so happens that I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time." ”

As a result, as soon as his words fell, the long-lost gunshot rang out again, shattering the kerosene lamp in Matthew's hand, and the hunchbacked old man reacted quickly, and as soon as his ears moved, he immediately caught the direction from which the gunshots came, rolled to the door, and raised his gun to shoot there.

However, the next moment, a figure flashed in front of the window and smashed another kerosene lamp in the room.

The room then descended into darkness.

The hunchbacked old man kicked over a table for cover, grabbed Wendy's mother and leaned back, shouting out the door.

"And then? Without light, I can't see you, but you can't see me either, and I still have hostages on my hands, it looks like we're in a stalemate now, so why don't you talk about it? ”

The hunchbacked old man paused, then asked, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with Matthew's family?" Why bother? ”

“…………”

There was still silence outside the door, and the visitor seemed to have made up his mind not to speak.

The hunchbacked old man was unimpressed and continued, "Well, let me tell you how things will go next...... You killed three of my men, and I should have killed them as a sign of justice, or...... We can also settle this dispute in a gentlemanly way, how about I go one-on-one with you? Your marksmanship is good, and I'm just an old man, we duel, you have a big advantage, as long as you kill me, you can save this family. ”

“…………”

"Tsk, it seems that you are a person who doesn't like to talk, but it doesn't matter, I'm a very patient person, I'll give you half a minute, and if you don't speak in half a minute, I'll kill the woman in my hand."

As soon as the room fell into darkness, Wendy squatted down as soon as possible, enduring the pain and groping on the ground, she didn't know who the person from outside was, whether it was the opponent of the hunchbacked old man, but pinning her hopes on others was never her style.

After a while, she found the cartridge box under the cabinet, and then crawled lightly in the direction of the shotgun.

Not only did she have to find the gun along the way, but she also had to carefully avoid the debris on the ground and make sure that she didn't make any movement as much as possible, the difficulty of which was probably known only to her, but just when she finally touched the shotgun and wanted to load the bullet into it, there was a sudden sound of gunfire in her ears.

Wendy stayed where she was.

Her spirit had been highly tense, the concept of time had long been confused, and she didn't know how long it had been, whether it had reached the half-minute deadline, and she only felt as if some warm liquid had splashed on her face.

Until the lights come back on.

She saw the scene in front of her again, what she feared most did not happen, although her mother looked frightened and trembled, but it did not seem to be a big problem, but the hunchbacked old man next to her had an extra muzzle on his head and fell in a pool of blood.

And what splashed on her face just now was the blood of the hunchbacked old man, and perhaps some brains.

At the staircase on the second floor, Zhang Heng collected his gun.

At the same time, I also got two system prompts in my ears, one is about the main quest, and the other is the thirty game points I received after killing the hunchbacked old man.

In the second half of the main quest, looking for the lucky horseshoe, Zhang Heng met the old cowboy before, and then met Matthew and the hunchbacked old man, and collected all the remaining three people of the lucky horse hooves, and this part of the task was completed.

This mission is not as difficult as imagined, strictly speaking, you don't even need to go through any battles, as long as you find three people, but in fact, it is very unlikely that you will encounter Cook and his Cook Gang without fighting.

Zhang Heng looked at Wendy, who was still stunned downstairs, and said to her, "It's okay." ”

Wendy heard this, but as if she hadn't heard it, she still held the shotgun in her hand and pointed at Cook's body on the ground.

Zhang Heng walked downstairs and came to the girl, held the barrel of the gun with one hand, and carefully broke Wendy's fingers with the other, "Okay, it's okay, he's dead, there shouldn't be a few people left in the Cook Gang, Sheriff Dolan is chasing the rest with his people, your family is safe." ”
