He's in the west, he's a cowboy

Chapter 17 Departure and Plan

Zhou Zheng followed Dutch into the camp. Dutch immediately asked everyone: "Arthur! Where is Arthur?"

Ms. Grimshaw, who was packing her things at the camp, said: "I don't know, I haven't seen him since I got here yesterday."

When Dutch encounters a problem, the first thing he thinks of is his most capable assistant. Even though there is a gap between the two of them, no matter what happens, he can handle it as long as it is left to Arthur.

"Does anyone know where Arthur went?" Dutch continued to ask.

Javier, who was lying at the sentry campfire, heard Dutch's call, got up and replied: "Arthur and Hosea went hunting. They seemed to be quite far away. Is there something wrong?"

Arthur is not here, John is still injured, and Micah and Lenny have not returned yet from exploring the road. There are only three people left in the camp: Javier, Bill and Charles. This kind of thing cannot be left to Bill, and the camp still needs people to stay, so it can only be left to Javier and Charles.

Thinking of this, Dutch no longer hesitated. Charles had not been in the gang for a long time, but he was reliable. Javier is an old friend who has been with him for many years, so he can rest assured that he can handle this matter by himself.

"Javier, Charles, there is something you need to do." He immediately called the two of them over.

The four came to Dutch's tent, and Dutch ordered: "Zhou found traces of the O'Drisco gang in Valentine's pharmacy, and we need to stay around here for a while. I want to know what they are hiding there for." Act."

When he heard that it was the O'Drisco gang, Javier also knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately agreed.

"I will tell you the specific situation Zhou. You can take him with you."

When the three of them received the mission, they did not set off immediately. Instead, they sat by the fire in the camp: "Zhou, tell me, what is the specific situation?" As soon as the three of them sat down, Javier picked up the beer beside the campfire and said, He handed it to Zhou Zheng and Charles and asked.

Zhou Zheng told the two of them about the situation in the drugstore. After hearing this, they both lowered their heads and thought: "This is not easy to handle. The drugstore is in the center of the town, and the police station is next door. If there is any movement, we will spend the rest of our lives in prison." Bar."

Javier had some difficulties. It was not difficult to eliminate a few of the O'Drisco gang's brats. What was difficult was how to kill them without alerting the police.

"You can't use the gun. Once the gun goes off, we won't be able to get out." Charles was always concise.

"Then let's attack at night. Let's go to the town in advance, find a place to stay, and go there in the middle of the night. Bows, arrows and daggers, not only guns, can kill people." Zhou Zheng suggested.

"It's a good idea, but we have to know how many people are inside," Javier said.

"There won't be many people, I guess two or three at most. The pharmacy is not big and can't hide many people. If there are many people, the noise will be loud and the police station next door can hear it." Zhou Zheng added.

"We still have to consider the worst case scenario." Charles took a sip of wine and said thoughtfully: "What if those policemen and the O'Drisco gang are together."

"Probably not. If they are in a group, they don't need to be so cautious, but we can't ignore this possibility." Zhou Zheng thought about it and felt that this situation should not happen.

"Whether we are a group or not, we can't use guns, so we can only attack sneakily, and we must not alert other people." Javier said: "As long as we are discovered, we will be in trouble."

"Then let's go, let's go over and check the situation first." Javier gave the order, and the other two naturally had no objections. Charles took out an ax and a pair of bows and arrows from his bag, and he didn't bring anything else except a pistol. Pike gun. Javier is similar, he brings a few throwing knives and an axe.

If I had known I had bought a dagger yesterday, I was only thinking about eating and drinking. Zhou Zheng regretted it endlessly, but it was useless to regret it. He hurried to Arthur's carriage to see if there was anything he could use.

Because all the gang's previous belongings were abandoned in Blackwater Town, there were not many things on the carriage, only some bullets, a few old-looking lever rifles, and two daggers.

Zhou Zheng took a dagger, with a black handle and a blade wrapped in a cowhide scabbard. When he pulled it out, he saw that it was in good condition. There was a ring on the scabbard, so it could be tied directly to the belt. Tie the knife up. Two people over there. The preparations are complete, let's set off.

The three of them walked slowly in the direction of Valentine. Charles said little, Zhou Zheng didn't know what to say, but Javier couldn't stand the silent atmosphere, so he started a topic to liven up the atmosphere: "Hey, Zhou, I seem to hear something today. To Karen inviting you to her tent?"

You really don't care about anything. Zhou Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, how about I give this opportunity to you? I think you are very interested."

"I don't dare. If I touch it at night, I will definitely be greeted by Karen's big squirt instead of big slut."

Charles also joked: "Zhou is having a fierce fight with Mary Beth now. She is an artistic young woman."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. It's nothing. We're just ordinary friends." Zhou Zheng hurriedly denied. , the beautiful little girl is of course loved by everyone, but Zhou Zheng feels that everyone is very busy now, and there is no time to fall in love slowly. Besides, he has been with someone before, and he has been single for two lifetimes. He thinks it is better to talk about it when he has the opportunity in the future.

"Oh my god, you don't know her. She steals wallets much faster than you think. Arthur told me before that when he first met Mary Beth, she was raped by several people. The man gave chase and Arthur rescued her, only to discover later that she had a pocket full of wallets with her.”

"It's really opened my eyes to this kind of thing. Zhou, you have to be careful in the future. Don't wake up with your pants gone."

"Charles, I really didn't know you were so venomous!"

The three of them laughed and laughed and soon arrived at Valentine. When passing by the drugstore, they found that the door was still closed. The three of them calmly went straight to the tavern. It wasn't dinner time yet, so there was no one in the tavern, except for a few gamblers at the gaming table.

Each ordered a bottle of beer, and the three of them sat down at the table by the window.

"The door is still closed. I don't know what's going on. How about I go in and take a look?" Zhou Zheng thought that he would pretend to buy medicine and go in to take a look.

Javier immediately objected: "No, if something happens, we can't save you."

Yes, your own life is still important.

"Zhou, you said there is a back door to the pharmacy." Charles thought for a moment and said, "Can we go in from there?"

"That's an iron door. He won't open it himself. There's nothing we can do except use a bomb."

Charles also ran out of ideas and spread his hands, showing that he was helpless.

Javier waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we'll go over there when it gets dark and have a look. If it doesn't work, find a place to stay, and we'll figure it out in the middle of the night."

Neither of them had any objections. Zhou Zheng still had some money on him, so he walked to the bar and asked the boss to get some food. The food he ate here yesterday was pretty good.

Today’s dishes are fried fish and sandwiches. The small, palm-long fish is fried so crispy that it fills your mouth with fragrance. There are some fresh vegetables and beef in the sandwich, plus some butter. It’s not that rare. Delicious, but better than filling your stomach.

When he was in the camp, Pearson could only make various stews. Sometimes when he went out into the wilderness, he had no choice but to eat what he had. It was still rare for everyone to have a decent meal, and all three of them were very greasy.

Because I could take action at any time, I didn't dare to drink strong alcohol. I just got a bottle of beer to quench my thirst. After all, it would be too strange to come to a pub without drinking.

After having enough wine and food, the three of them sat down on the chairs rubbing their bellies. Zhou Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "We should really send Mr. Pearson here for further training. I believe it will be very good for our stomach and intestines."

Javier laughed and said, "Yes, I will suggest it to Dutch when I get back. After all, Dutch has almost had enough of Pearson's stew."

"Is there no one else in the camp who knows how to cook?" Zhou Zheng asked curiously.

"Probably, maybe Ms. Grimshaw can do it. As far as I know, no one else can." Javier curled his lips and said: "Of course, what I said won't definitely mean making something like a restaurant." It’s delicious, and as for the Pearson’s, I think everyone can make it.”

At this time, a well-dressed white man opened the door of the tavern and walked in. Zhou Zheng took a look and found that he was the owner of the drugstore.

Zhou Zheng quickly reminded the two of them, and the three of them immediately calmed down and drank separately. Charles happened to be sitting facing the bar, pretending to be in a daze and staring at the actions of the drugstore owner, while Zhou Zheng stretched his ears and listened.

The boss walked straight to the bar, bought some beer and food from the bartender, and asked the bartender to deliver them directly to the pharmacy later. After saying that, he threw a bunch of money and walked out of the pub.

It was so sleepy that I gave him a pillow. The three of them looked at each other silently and knew that the opportunity had come.

"It seems God has blessed me. I think I have a solution." Javier said happily.

At Javier's signal, the three of them walked out of the tavern. Javier said, "Let's find a place to hide and wait for the person who delivers the food. I think this place is good."

Zhou Zheng and Charles looked along Javier's finger and saw a small alley. Naturally, there were no street lights in this era, and the alley was dark and sloppy. As long as it gets a little dark, you can't see anything when you look in from the outside.

"Good idea." Zhou Zheng couldn't help but admire him. He was indeed an old gangster, and his brain worked faster than his, who was new to the industry.
