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

However, this matter cannot be completed in a day or two. After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Zheng felt that his stomach was about to rebel. He took two mouthfuls of dry food this morning and was already very hungry. Zhou Zheng thought that he had to go back and see. See if there is anything to eat.

Pushing open the door, everyone from the Vanderlinde Gang was basically there. Looking at the group of people in front of him, many of them couldn't be named, but they still knew Abigail, who had taken care of him last night. The first thing he saw when he woke up was She was the one who saw it.

However, she seemed a little distracted now and kept mumbling something. Zhou Zheng walked over and said, "Mrs. Marston, thank you for taking care of her last night. If you need any help, please let me know."

"You're welcome...Mr. Zhou Zheng, uh, is it okay if I call you that? I'm sorry, your name has a strange pronunciation. I don't know if..." Abigail hesitated. , the pronunciation of Chinese names is really difficult for him.

"Well, if you can, just call me Zhou, no need to be too polite."

"Okay, Zhou, uh, do you want a cup of coffee?"

"Thank you." After taking the coffee, Zhou Zheng sat down next to the big black man Charles. This kind of coffee is the coffee that cowboys like. Cowboys are usually short of supplies, so most cowboys will mix the new coffee with the previous one. The coffee grounds are boiled together, which results in an extremely rich coffee flavor.

After one sip, every pore is exuding a bitter taste. It's not delicious, but it's very refreshing. The scalding coffee flowed down his throat and into his stomach, making him more and more hungry. However, seeing that no one had anything to eat, Zhou Zheng was too embarrassed to speak, so he had to drink a few more sips, trying to suppress the growling sound in his stomach.

"So, you are a Chinese? I thought you were an Indian. Do all your people look like you? I have seen some before, and they all have big braids." Charles looked at Zhou Zheng with a puzzled look on his face. I thought Zhou was an Indian, after all, he looked so much like him.

"Well, as far as I know, all Chinese people should look like this. As for why I don't have braids, it's because my father once participated in..." Zhou Zheng tasted the coffee and tried to recall it in his mind. He keeps the memory of the original owner and tells the story of the original owner to everyone.

Before he finished speaking, a man with dark skin, wearing a Mexican-style shawl and a mustache squeezed over. "Hey, kid, did you say that your father once participated in GM? It seems that we have a common language."

Zhou Zheng looked at the speaker, and the remaining memory of the original owner made him feel a little depressed: "Yes, he is a great person, but unfortunately, he failed in the end..."

"My name is Javier. I am a Mexican. I have participated in GM before and was also a loser. Later, after I escaped to the United States, Dutch rescued me. Dutch is the same type of person as us. That is why I will follow Darci. Strange. Child, welcome here, this will be your new family." Patting Zhou Zheng on the shoulder, Javier encouraged him: "Relax, if you have any questions, tell me and I will help you. "

This guy looks good, and so far, the people in this gang are okay. After all, it's the protagonist's gang, so there shouldn't be that kind of crazy murderer.

A group of people sat in front of the fire and listened to Javier talking about the past in Mexico. This man was very artistic. When he talked about happy places, he would also hum a few local folk songs in Mexican. It must be said that he was very similar to He talked about everything and it was a joy.

Another black boy, Lenny, also joined in. Hearing that Zhou Zheng was almost sold as a slave, he couldn't help but feel the same way. Although this country has abolished the black slave system on paper, this land is full of people who hate black people. Due to oppression and discrimination, Lenny's father was beaten to death by a few drunkards for no reason. He stole a gun to avenge his father, and then joined the Vanderlinde Gang.

Young people always get to know each other quickly, especially young boys. After a while, the two of them hooked up and put their arms around each other.

The black girl named Tilly was sitting on the bed to the side, comforting the woman with tears on her face. Lenny told him that when Dutch and Arthur went out last night, they got help from a gangster called the Odrix Gang. Lee rescued this woman, his name was Sadie Adler, whose husband was killed and her home was gone. He is also a poor person, Zhou Zheng thought silently.

Children are always carefree. Little Jack, the only child in the gang, was jumping up and down in the small room. He was Abigail's child. He was very curious about Zhou Zheng, the uncle he had just met. Zhou Zheng picked up a few hay on the ground. , and soon made little Jack a little grasshopper, which was taught to him by his boss who worked in his previous life. This skill made everyone exclaim that it was magical, and even made Little Jack shout Uncle Magician while holding up the little grasshopper. Grasshopper went to his mother to show off that he had a new toy, and the child's fuss made Abigail look less gloomy.

A few people were chatting and singing, and soon it was noon. Chef Pearson pushed in the door with a big pot and greeted everyone to eat: "Damn it, when we came out of Blackwater Town, you only gave me 10 minutes to clean up. Things, I didn't even have time to pick up the bacon we cured, now there are only some cans left, although my cooking skills are very good..." Pearson is a fat uncle, staring at a Mediterranean man The head and a big red nose look very happy.

"Think about when I was in the Navy..." Pearson was about to recount his glorious deeds, but was stopped by everyone in unison. It seemed that they had heard it many times.

Pearson complained as he distributed food to everyone. The food was very simple, a pot of random vegetables and canned meat, and Zhou Zheng couldn't tell what was in it. But that's not important. First, I almost froze to death in the snow. After I woke up, I just drank some hot water and ate some dry food. My stomach was already growling.

After taking a bite, it turned out that it didn't taste that good. The various flavors were mixed together, which overloaded the CPU of the tongue. But Zhou Zheng didn't mind it. When he used to work in a restaurant, when he was really busy and had no time to eat, he would often mix various flavors into the food. The leftover dishes from the guests were mixed together, and the three or two mouthfuls finished the meal and continued busy.

Zhou Zheng silently cheered himself up, holding the bowl and pinching his nose as he ate. It was very cold. If he didn't eat quickly, he wouldn't be able to eat for a while.

Everyone looked at Zhou Zheng in horror, looking at him as if he was eating something unparalleled deliciousness, and then looked down at the bowl in his hand. Sure enough, this child was frozen to death last night!

Pearson was very happy when he saw it, thinking that someone finally recognized his cooking skills, and scooped out all the leftovers from the pot to Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng did not refuse anyone who came, and he ate even one bite and one bowl. , eating full is the way to go.

Unlike the happy family atmosphere in the big house, the atmosphere in the next door house was indeed a bit solemn. These three people were the founders and core of the gang.

As the leader of the gang, Dutch is quite eloquent, well-read, and a sharpshooter. He has his own views on the world and society.

Hosea is a professional liar who works steadily. He met Dutch by chance when he was young. After a perfect cooperation, the two have been working together ever since.

Arthur is the child raised by Dutch and Hosea, and was taught by the two of them. He is also famous as the gang's number one fighting force.

These two have always been Dutch's right-hand men. However, since the Blackwater Town incident, the two of them began to have doubts about Dutch. They had obviously planned to retire before, and they had already spotted the land and were preparing to graze and farm together. But Dutch suddenly proposed to rob the money transport ship in Blackwater Town, which led to the current situation where everyone has nowhere to go.

"Daqi, why did you take in that child? You clearly know that our current... situation is not very good." Seeing that the discussion had no results, Arthur turned the topic to Zhou Zheng, who did not agree to take him in. , they will be caught up by the police and Pinkerton at any time now, and they will not be able to protect themselves.

"Why, is our dear life mentor ready to take in the lost lamb again?" Hosea chuckled: "Arthur, I have no objection to taking this child in. He can't survive alone in this situation."

"We can send him to a small town..."

"Sent to a small town? Arthur, do you really think a yellow-skinned boy can survive in America?" Dutch interrupted Arthur without hesitation.

"Don't forget, he just came to the United States. He is only 17 years old. In addition to being a good fighter, he may not even be able to use a gun. We are afraid that if we send him to the town, he will be found in a sewer the next day. His body is gone."

Hosea also agreed with Dutch. In fact, he and Dutch liked to adopt children with nowhere to go. Lenny, John, the dead Jenny, and even Arthur himself all joined the gang in this way. The gang The goal has always been to value family, and all gang members are family members. What else can value family more than homeless children?

Seeing that Hosea also agreed to this matter, Arthur no longer insisted. Dutch might be impulsive, but if Hosea also agreed, then this matter must be right, so he simply gave up thinking.

But of course Daqi has his own plans. Now the gang is wanted and they can't go to many places, and Zhou Zheng, a stranger, can do a lot of things that are difficult for them. Of course, this requires Zhou Zheng to be loyal.

The three of them talked about the next plan of action and basically reached a consensus, and the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed. Pearson brought food to the two of them. Dutch's lover, Miss Molly O'Shea, saw the three of them chatting. After that, he came out of the small room inside and brought coffee to Dutch, and the three of them had a meal talking and laughing.

Dutch wanted to take a rest after eating. After finding Micah last night, they met the O'Drisco gang again. After a fierce battle, they rescued a poor widow. They will wait until the day after they return. It was almost dawn, he had just rested for a short time, and he had to arrange gang affairs. He was already quite old, and it was really too much for him. After greeting the two of them, he hugged Molly and returned to his room.

The two of them wisely left the house together and prepared to rest in the big room next door.
