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

By the time Zhou Zheng returned to the camp, it was already midnight, and everyone in the gang had already gone to bed. Only Bill was standing guard by the campfire. When he saw Zhou Zheng coming back, he happily greeted him and asked about news about Blackwater Town.

The large amount of blood loss made Zhou Zheng's head become more and more dizzy, and the things in front of him became increasingly blurry. When he was sure that he had arrived at the camp and saw his family, Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he could no longer hold on and fell off his horse.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng suddenly fell down, Bill hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Only then did he notice that the bandage on Zhou Zheng's left arm had been stained red with blood. He hurriedly shouted for Pastor Swanson to come to save him.

His voice immediately woke up everyone in the camp. When Dutch heard that Zhou Zheng was injured and that only one person had returned, he thought something had happened to them in Blackwater Town, so he hurriedly put on some clothes without even wearing shoes. He ran over barefoot.

Everyone carried Zhou Zheng to his bed. Ms. Grimshaw brought water, added a lot of honey to it, and drank it for Zhou Zheng. People who lost too much blood should order more sweet things. After drinking a bowl of honey water, Zhou Zheng woke up after his dry throat was moistened by the sweet water.

"Hey, kid, how are you? What's going on?" Da Qi asked hurriedly when he saw Zhou Zheng waking up.

After Zhou Zheng finished explaining what happened in detail, everyone was relieved. Dutch thought for a while and prepared to ask Javier and Arthur to support Charles. If nothing could be done, he was prepared to take the people there himself.

Pastor Swanson was drunk, smelling of alcohol, and was tremblingly preparing to treat Zhou Zheng's wounds. Pushing the pastor away, Marybeth gave him a disgusted look and carefully applied the medicine to Zhou Zheng. When everyone saw this, they dispersed tacitly.

Arthur and Javier didn't waste any time. They asked Zhou Zheng in detail about Charles's location, then hurriedly mounted their horses and hurried over.

Bill took a bottle of beer and handed it to Zhou Zheng. He smiled and said that as long as he drank it, it wouldn't hurt. He drank the wine, lit a cigarette, and watched Mary Beth carefully treating his wounds. Zhou Zheng suddenly felt at ease.

The injury this time was really a bit too careless. I still don’t have enough experience in the wild, Zhou Zheng thought helplessly. Seeing that the wound had been treated, Zhou Zheng said thank you to Marybeth, and then got up to find Dutch.

Being woken up so late, Dutch couldn't sleep for a while. He stood at the door of his tent wearing a coat, holding a bottle of whiskey and pouring himself a glass.

"How's it going, kid? Thank you for the hard work on this trip." Seeing Zhou Zheng's ugly face, Da Qi also poured him a glass.

Zhou Zheng took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The burning of the strong wine seemed to make his wounds less painful. Putting down the wine glass, Zhou Zheng asked curiously: "Boss, Trelawney and I can now come and go freely." Blackwater Town, I heard that your money in Blackwater Town..."

Daqi slammed the wine bottle on the table nearby, looked at Zhou Zheng coldly and said: "You are not allowed to mention this matter in the future, do you understand?"

"Can......"

"No buts, I am the boss and I have the final say. Now, it's time for you to go back and rest." After saying that, Dutch turned and walked into his tent.

Zhou Zheng was helpless. He didn't quite understand. If he wanted to retire, he could just go back and get money and fly away. Why was Daqi so resistant?

Zhou Zheng stayed in the camp honestly for the next two days. If the injury was not healed, it was better not to run around.

There were no entertainment activities here, so Zhou Zheng had no choice but to drag everyone in the camp to play poker with him. After teaching everyone how to fight landlords, things got out of hand. In the early days, Zhou Zheng made a lot of money from this.

Things change when Hosea, a scheming old conman, comes on board. After playing two rounds, he quickly understood the essence. The next few rounds were played steadily, which in turn gave Zhou Zheng a lot of trouble, causing Zhou Zheng to call him an old fox.

Fortunately, there are many fools in the camp, and Bill is the number one fool. He always calls the landlord regardless of whether the cards are good or not. Every time, he is defeated and comes back. Soon he will have empty pockets and run to look for him angrily. That poor Kieran vented his anger.

On the fourth day after Zhou Zheng came back, Arthur returned in triumph with a few people. They squatted in Blackwater Town for several days. Maybe the bounty hunters saw that they couldn't catch any fish and thought there would be no one. After saving this unfortunate guy, he prepared to send Sean to collect the reward.

While the group of bounty hunters were preparing to move Sean, Arthur and others took the opportunity to make a sneak attack and rescued Sean after a hard fight.

There was a burst of cheers in the camp, all the wine and food were brought out, and a grand party was held to celebrate Sean's return.

Sean also seemed to be a conspicuous person. He stood on the table and delivered a speech to everyone on his rescue. He told with great emotion how he fought bravely in Blackwater Town. In the end, he was unable to defeat four people with just two fists. After being captured, he He was tortured but did not reveal the details of the gang at all. Everyone should cheer for his heroic deeds.

Zhou Zheng watched with a smile as Sean stood on the table, drinking and dancing, while he sat by the campfire with a bottle of wine and drank, while Javier sat next to him, playing the guitar and singing a song.

After singing the song, Javier handed the guitar to Zhou Zheng and said with a smile: "Hey. Boy, can you play?"

Zhou Zheng took the guitar. It would have been a bit difficult for him to play other instruments, but he really knew how to play the guitar.

Javier's guitar looks very old. There are mottled marks on it, and the place where you hold it has been rubbed a little smooth. It can be seen that this guitar must have been with him for many years.

Zhou Zheng adjusted the tune, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and plucked the strings. A song from the future, "You're Young," resounded in the night sky above the Horse Palm Observatory.

Zhou Zheng sang in English. In many places, he temporarily changed the lyrics for the sake of rhyme. His skills were not good enough and the changes ended up being nondescript. But no one cared. The cowboys were informal and everyone hummed along with Zhou Zheng's music.

After singing the song, Javier smiled and patted Zhou Zheng on the shoulder and said, "What a good boy, I didn't expect you to hide something."

Everyone also cheered for Zhou Zheng and encouraged Zhou Zheng to play another song. Zhou Zheng waved his hand and handed the guitar to Javier: "You have to know how to play outside, right?"

Sean jumped down from the table, jumped up to Zhou Zheng, hugged his shoulders and said: "Hey, brother, I heard that your injury was because of me. I will remember it. No matter what happens in the future, Just tell the omnipotent Sean and I will do it for you.”

As he spoke, he took out the wine bottle from the side, opened the cap with a knife, stuffed it into Zhou Zheng's arms, then picked up his own wine bottle and said boldly: "I did it, here's a drink to you!"

Then he raised his head and started drinking. Zhou Zheng looked at the vodka in his hand, then looked at the one in his own hand, and suddenly felt that this guy must be crazy.

Putting the full bottle of wine in his hand behind his back, he took out the bottle next to someone who still had a little bit to drink. He raised his head and brought the bottle to his mouth, drinking slowly.

Sean finished the bottle of vodka, shook his head and watched Zhou Zheng finish the drink slowly, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, it seems that the real man Sean won, hahaha, vomit... .." Before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and sprayed out. Zhou Zheng hurriedly ran out, narrowly avoiding touching himself.

After Sean vomited, he saw Zhou Zheng lying on the ground and laughed again. Seeing Sean's appearance, everyone laughed kindly. Sean thought everyone was cheering for him and raised another bottle of wine. , I raised my glass to everyone and was about to do it.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly ran away, this guy was already drunk and crazy. Charles and Arthur looked relatively normal. They were sitting a little further away drinking, and Zhou Zheng walked over in a hurry.

"Has this guy always been so heroic?" Zhou Zheng asked Arthur, pointing at Sean.

Arthur also laughed: "He's always been like this, like an annoying younger brother. You sang well just now, I didn't expect you to do this again."

"I learned from a wandering musician when I was a kid," Zhou Zheng said. Of course, this happened in his previous life.

"Very good, very inspiring." Charles was still concise.

Zhou Zheng asked curiously: "Where's Trelawney? Why didn't I see him?" Trelawney hadn't been seen since Arthur and the others came back, and he didn't know where this guy had gone.

Arthur said helplessly: "Who knows where this guy has gone? This guy is always elusive. He led us to Sean and then disappeared."

"I don't know, he didn't tell us anything." Charles didn't know either, and he didn't want to know. This guy was so annoying. He kept talking like that during the few days he was with him.

Arthur looked at Zhou Zheng's disappointed expression and said, "What, boy, do you have anything to do with him?"

Zhou Zheng sighed and said: "I also wanted to entrust him to go to Annesburg to check the situation. I planned to go there myself last time, but the place was too far, and I was afraid that a yellow man like me would alert the snake when he went there. I didn't expect that ..."

Arthur comforted: "It's okay. This guy will show up soon. He always does this. If it doesn't work, I'll go with you."

"Thank you, Arthur, I...I owe you." Zhou Zheng said gratefully. The big man in front of him looked rough and brutal, but he had a gentle heart.

"Don't be in a hurry to say thank you. I just don't want to see you looking sad all the time, like a wilted bitter melon."

Well, this guy also has a bad mouth.

"By the way, is Lenny back?" Arthur suddenly thought that Lenny had never been seen since he went out to explore the road.

Zhou Zheng and Charles looked at each other in confusion. They had been busy doing this and that recently. They really didn't expect this. These two people were trying to find a way to explore themselves?

Everyone has been at Ma Zhang Lookout for more than half a month. Everyone was busy before and forgot about these two people. Suddenly, they realized that two people were missing from the gathering.

The three of them were sure that they had never seen these two people. Arthur was speechless for a while and said: "Forget it, I will ask Dutch tomorrow. If he really doesn't come back, I think we have to go find him."

"Don't get caught." Zhou Zheng said, Micah didn't care, the main thing was Lenny.

This matter was soon forgotten by the three of them. Everyone was already dancing around the bonfire. Marybeth ran over and grabbed Zhou Zheng and walked into the crowd. Zhou Zheng said that he had never danced like this at all, laughing. He refused.

John's injury was almost healed, but he was still not able to exercise strenuously. He held Abigail and danced slowly beside him. Looking at Abigail, John must be very satisfied with this.

Little Jack is running around like an elf in the crowd. He is the happiest. Only at this time, his mother will not control him and he can play freely.

Everyone kept making noises until midnight, and then fell asleep in twos and threes. Zhou Zheng also drank a lot of wine. No matter how much he restrained himself, there was no way he could not drink more under such circumstances.

Just as he was about to lie down, he saw Karen supporting Sean and walking into his tent. See no evil, see no evil, Zhou Zheng muttered while covering his head with a blanket, hoping that the two of them would make less noise tonight.
