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

"This place is not bad. I looked at the map. If the calculation is correct. It's only half an hour away from the Chui Dog Ranch by horseback. If there is no problem, we will stay here temporarily." Zhou Zheng said to Charles.

"No problem, I'll bring them two here. There are many ferocious beasts here, so don't let them be eaten as dinner." Charles was a little worried about the safety of the horse.

"I'll go to the house to see if there's anything we can use. I'll clean it up by the way." Zhou Zheng was also a little worried, but it would be fine as long as Charles was there.

When she walked to the house, the woman had calmed down a little, "How about this woman, does she still have family? Shall we take her back?"

Shadi shook her head and said, "His parents were killed by these guys, and he is alone now." Similar experiences made Shadi feel even more distressed for this woman.

"Hey, damn the world. If you have nowhere to go, why not stay here temporarily and wait until we go to town to see where to send her." Zhou Zheng suggested.

"Row."

Zhou Zheng walked into the house. The house was not big. There was a table just inside the door. There was also a small room with a single bed inside. It seemed that the old woman usually lived here alone.

But there are a lot of good things here. It seems that this family has looted a lot. There is a drawer full of gold, silver and jewelry. There is also some cash, but it is not much, so it must have been spent.

There was a basement at the very end. Zhou Zheng carefully went down to take a look. As soon as he entered, he saw a large red box. Zhou Zheng opened the box and found a shotgun inside.

I identified the model number myself, but I couldn’t tell, but it was a semi-automatic shotgun with very powerful firepower. It was a good thing, and it could give Wei credit. Although he knew how to use a gun, his accuracy wasn’t very good. This thing was close at hand. Distance doesn't matter at all, anyone standing in front of him will die.

There are also some rifles and bullets. It seems that this is where they store weapons. There are various types of bullets. Zhou Zheng even saw a few Molotov cocktails. Did this family use this place as an arsenal?

There is a lot of food and wine in the box next to it. Now I don’t even have to worry about food. Sure enough, it’s a gold belt for murder and arson.

This is a good job and full of rewards. Zhou Zheng returned to the ground with some food.

A bonfire was raised in the yard, and the three of them sat by the fire. Zhou Zheng took out the beer and distributed it to the two of them. Sadie drank it generously, while the woman drank in small sips while tears kept flowing.

Charles soon returned with Kieran and Wei Xin. The two men saw that there was a mess everywhere and there were corpses on the ground, so they consciously rolled up their sleeves and started cleaning.

The two of them worked together to dig a hole in the woods behind and bury the body. Wei Xin also silently recited the words "Dust to dust to dust to dust", which was considered as letting the five people rest in peace.

It was already getting dark by this time, so Zhou Zheng took out the pot again and prepared to cook something to eat.

The woman was also very discerning. When she saw Zhou Zheng preparing to cook, she quickly wiped away her tears, took the pot from Zhou Zheng, and started to work on her own.

Soon, a pot of fragrant stew was ready. Just by looking at the appearance and smell, I knew it was more than twice as delicious as Pearson's.

"I got some vegetables and meat, they should taste good." The woman spoke in a nice, soft voice, with a hint of crying, which made people feel distressed.

Zhou Zheng poured himself a bowl and asked, "Where do you live from? Do you have any other relatives? We can take you back."

Speaking of this, the tears on her face flowed down involuntarily. While crying, he said: "My name is Alice Martin. I come from France. My father's workshop was in debt, so we had no choice but to come to the United States with our family."

"This is running from one hell to another hell. The United States is not a good place, it is still the West." Charles said.

"Yes, my mother and I repeatedly persuaded my father to go to the civilized cities in the east, but my father heard from somewhere that we could make a fortune in the west, so he took us there." Alice wiped away her tears and said, "We were in China yesterday. I got off the bus at Laishi Station and was going to settle down in Strawberry Town, but as soon as I got halfway,..."

"Hey, your parents, I mean, where were you robbed? If possible, maybe we can help you bury them." Shadi comforted the little girl while holding her arms.

"I don't know exactly where it is. We walked south along the railway, so it shouldn't be very far from here." Alice couldn't remember clearly, but if she walked along the railway, it should be easy to find.

Zhou Zheng opened the title picture and followed the railway south: "It should be at Devil's Ridge. There are mountains on both sides. You are really unlucky."

"I'll take her with me tomorrow. I happen to be going to the town." Sadie said decisively.

"Why are you going to the town?" Zhou Zheng asked doubtfully, we don't lack anything now.

"I'm going to buy a horse. It's too uncomfortable to ride this pack horse." Zhou Zheng looked at the pack horse that Shadi was riding. Thinking of the Morgan horse he rode before meeting Chitu, he immediately expressed his sympathy and immediately agreed: "Go. Okay, by the way, I just found a lot of jewelry in the room, you can sell it, but you have to be careful."

"no problem."

"By the way, you and this Miss Alice can sleep in the house. Charles and I are setting up a tent outside. This place is too small. It can't accommodate so many of us." Zhou Zheng said to Sadie.

"You don't need any kid, I'm not some petty young lady. I can do anything you can do. I don't need any so-called preferential treatment, understand?" Shadi looked at Zhou Zheng and said word by word.

"You are really a...female man." Zhou Zheng couldn't help but admire him.

From time to time, the chirping of insects and the movements of various wild animals can be heard in the woods. It was already very late. After he woke up, Zhou Zheng got up and looked at his pocket watch. It was already past 2 o'clock at night. He got up from the tent and saw Charles keeping vigil. He asked strangely: "Hey, buddy, what are you doing?" Why didn't you sleep?"

Charles was holding several wine bottles and pouring these unknown liquids into them. Seeing that Zhou Zheng was awake, he put down what he was doing and replied: "I couldn't fall asleep after a while. I slept on the train for too long in the past two days. I saw a lot of liquor behind me, so I made some Molotov cocktails. I think we’ll use it.”

Look at the Molotov cocktail in front of you. Zhou Zheng couldn't help but sigh, this guy is really versatile.

"You said, at this time, everyone should be asleep at Chui Dog Ranch. Why don't we go over there now and take a look?" At this time, everyone should be asleep, and as a loosely organized gang, the sentinel estimates Almost asleep.

"That's a good idea. Let's set off now?" Charles thought for a while and thought it would be a good idea to do some reconnaissance now.

"Let's go, let's go now." As they said, they got on their horses and headed towards the Chui Dog Ranch.
