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

Chapter 6 Wolves and Medicine

The group walked for more than half an hour before returning to the place where the horses were tied. Zhou Zheng and Arthur took turns carrying John on their backs, both of them panting from exhaustion.

Seeing this, John hesitated and thanked him: "Thanks, brother..."

Arthur said angrily: "Come on, you are heavier than a tree. Can you lose weight..."

Before he could finish his words, a heartbreaking wolf howl echoed in the mountains, frightening Zhou Zheng to the point of trembling in his heart. Looking back, three huge gray wolves were looking at them eagerly.

"Fuck...it's coming, what should I do?" Zhou Zheng, who saw this kind of beast charging towards him for the first time, was at a loss for ideas.

"You go first, I'll cover." He hurriedly took John from Arthur, and with Javier's cover, Zhou Zheng hurriedly ran towards the horse's position.

Arthur pulled out the revolver, held his breath attentively, and looked at the three wolves on the opposite side. One of the three wolves was in the middle, and the other two were outflanking him.

"Come on, baby." Arthur took a deep breath, held the gun at his waist, held down the trigger with his right hand, flipped the hammer with his left hand, and took away the wolf directly opposite him with three shots in an instant. After that, he immediately turned the gun and shot three more times, taking away the one on the left.

At this time, the wolf on the right had already rushed to a place less than 5 meters away from Arthur. When he saw two of his companions fell instantly, he stopped where he did not dare to rush forward, but the hunger in his stomach made him reluctant to leave. Arthur did not hesitate. He pulled out the sawed-off shotgun from his waist with his left hand, shot it directly in the head, and sent it to meet its companions.

Zhou Zheng didn't dare to look back, and trotted all the way, and finally came to the horse. Hearing the howl of the predator, the two horses were a little frightened, and ran around with their hooves trying to leave. Javier quickly calmed the horses, and worked together to pull them away. John placed himself on Arthur's horse and was about to turn around to help, but saw that Arthur had already followed. In the distance, he only saw three wolf corpses lying on the charging road.

"It's really amazing. I don't know how long it will take me to practice to be like this." Zhou Zheng sounded envious, looking at the revolver in his hand, imagining how he would hit wherever he pointed in the future.

"Come on, it will take [-] years for you to think that I am so powerful." Arthur got on his horse and straightened his slightly crooked cowboy hat. "Let's go back quickly. It's almost dark."

"Arthur has the best marksmanship among us." Javier said with a smile.

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. Looking at Arthur, he turned out to be a master of guns. Zhou Zheng asked curiously: "What about Dutch? Daqi showed me his hand before..."

"Dutch...he is also very powerful, but in terms of marksmanship alone, Arthur should be more powerful." Javier thought for a while and said firmly.

Dutch's move already made Zhou Zheng feel like he was watching a drama. How powerful this more powerful Arthur was made Zhou Zheng full of curiosity.

Having found John, everyone was in a good mood. Javier was very happy and hummed a tune while riding on his horse. Although Arthur was still unforgiving, judging from the raised corners of his mouth, he was still very happy. Although John's condition is not very good, at least he is still alive and his body is not missing any parts.

"You know, we have to make up a nice story for the scar on your face." Arthur said in a weird voice, "This will allow you to brag about your scar when you go to the tavern in the future."

"I was frozen, lost too much blood, and almost got eaten by a fucking wolf. Isn't that enough to satisfy you?" John was a little annoyed. Zhou Zheng also joked: "Why don't you give me a nickname? After all, few people can survive in such a situation."

"Hahaha, that's a good idea. How about calling him a werewolf." Javier was also worried that the world would not be in chaos. This left John speechless and he could only quickly change the topic: "I feel...a little uncomfortable."

"You'll be fine. I just looked at your wound. Although it looks a bit scary, it's not serious. You'll be fine." Zhou Zheng comforted him. "I learned some medical skills when I was in my hometown, don't worry."

The original owner of Zhou Zheng's body really knew some medical skills. Zhou Zheng himself had also learned some first aid methods. It was really not bragging to say that he knew how to do it.

Suddenly, there was another shrill wolf howl coming from behind the four of them. Looking back, they saw several more wolves rushing towards the group from the mountain.

"Arthur, you take John and go first. I'll deal with them. Zhou, pull out your gun!" Javier pulled out the gun from his waist and turned around to shoot at the nearest wolf pack. His marksmanship was also Very good, after five shots, one of them was killed, but several others had already rushed up. Javier was changing bullets while shouting: "Shoot quickly, Zhou!"

Zhou Zheng pulled out his pistol. In such a bumpy situation, he couldn't aim at all. He could only take the chance and shoot at the wolf closest to him. The shot missed by a thousand miles.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly turned the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger again, but only heard a click sound.

This is a single-action pistol, and the hammer must be reset manually every time a shot is fired. Zhou Zheng couldn't help but be in a hurry. When he reset the hammer, he saw that a wolf was close at hand. He jumped up and opened his blood basin towards Zhou Zheng. Big mouth.

At this time, Zhou Zheng calmed down, and his trembling hands stopped shaking. He raised the gun, took aim, and when the wolf was about to bite him, he pulled the trigger and shot one shot from the wolf's mouth, and then from the back of the head. Come out and fall to the ground motionless.

At this time, Javier had already changed the bullets, and Arthur also drew his gun to support. With a burst of gunfire, the remaining three wolves were killed one by one.

"Damn, these beasts are starving." Javier looked around carefully. "There should be none. Let's go quickly. There is a river over there. We are walking in the water and we can't bring the smell into the camp."

Four people and two horses were wading in the creek. John asked: "How is the situation in the camp? Is David feeling better?"

This question made Arthur and Javier a little silent. Seeing that both of them were a little silent, John also understood and sighed: "Hey, how could this happen? David, Mike, Jenny, and Sean... .”

The sky was getting darker and darker, and finally the four of them returned to the camp before it became completely dark.

"Look, have you seen the house in front of you? John, that's our camp. We'll be there soon." Javier cheered up and said with a smile. The road was difficult and dangerous, but now we are finally safe and relaxed. Take a breath.

Entering the camp, Arthur immediately shouted, "Come here! We found John, please come help!!!"

The door opened, and Abigail was the first to rush out. When she saw John, she jumped up and down excitedly: "You're okay, great, you're finally back."

Several people dismounted and handed John to Bill, who was responding. "I'll bandage him." Zhou Zheng said proactively.

"Go, I have to settle this good boy. He has worked hard today." Javier patted his horse. He had to brush the horse quickly. It sweated a lot today and was covered in ice and snow. , If you don't brush it clean, Ma Ke can't stand it in such a cold day.

"Thank you, thank you," Abigail said thanks to several people while complaining about John's carelessness.

"We have to clean his wound, Mrs. Marston, can you boil some hot water and get some bandages? Boil them in hot water." Zhou Zheng walked John towards the house while facing Ai beside him. Bigail said that the weather was so cold that the blood on John's wound froze and had to be cleaned quickly.

After hearing this, Tilly, who was standing at the door, hurriedly said: "Leave it to me, I'll go."

Several people hurriedly settled John down. Seeing his father like this, little Jack was so scared that he didn't dare to make a fuss. He stood by the bed and didn't dare to move. His eyes were full of tears and he looked very pitiful.

Zhou Zheng smiled at him: "It's okay, your dad just suffered a minor injury. Uncle Magician will be able to help your dad recover soon." He rubbed little Jack's head and handed him to another person named Mary. Beth's girl asked her to take Jack to other rooms first. The next scene was somewhat inappropriate for children.

Tilly came in with a basin of hot water and bandages, and Pastor Swanson also came. He had no choice but to read the Bible and pray to John over and over again.

Zhou Zheng put the boiled bandages next to the fire to bake. He had to dry them quickly, otherwise they would not be usable.

His wound was covered with ice residue after the blood had coagulated. He had to clean it off and bandage it quickly, otherwise he would continue to bleed after the ice melted away. The wound was too big, and relying on human self-healing ability alone was not enough.

John's wound was slowly cleaned and bandaged. The conditions were simple, there was no alcohol, and there was no way to disinfect it. Whether it could get better or not could only depend on John's physical condition. Of course, I couldn't say that.

"Okay, that's no problem, but it would be better if there was some medicine." After everything was done, Zhou Zheng also let out a long sigh.

"Thank you, I..." John held it in for a long time before finally saying thank you. He was not good at talking and didn't know how to express his gratitude for a while.

"It's okay. I heard that your marksmanship is very good. Wait a minute and teach me how to shoot." Zhou Zheng was sitting by the fire. He didn't notice it when he was busy just now. Now that he is free, he feels sore all over. Now I don’t have the conditions to take a shower, so I can only make do with it.

"No problem, I will teach you everything I know. Just like Dutch taught me." John said solemnly.

"What? Your marksmanship was taught by Daqi?" Zhou Zheng was curious. After all, we have to hang out together in the future, so it would be good to get to know each other better.

"Yes, it's not just me, but also Arthur. We are all adopted children by Dutch. He is like our father. Arthur is the one with the best marksmanship among us. He..."

While Zhou Zheng listened to John whispering about the past, he hugged the blanket he slept on last night and leaned against the fire. His eyelids gradually began to twitch, and he quickly fell asleep.
