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

When rescuing John on the snowy mountain, Arthur's amazing marksmanship made Zhou Zheng jealous.

"It's very simple." Marksmanship has always been what Arthur is most proud of, and he doesn't mind teaching this little brother.

Arthur came to a tree, picked up a stone on the ground, made a few crosses on the trunk, and then stepped back. When he was about 10 meters away, he shouted to Zhou Zheng: "Look clearly, young man." , I will demonstrate it again.”

Zhou Zheng looked at Arthur nervously. The boss taught in person. This opportunity was quite rare.

Arthur stood there, concentrating, his left hand hanging down naturally, his right hand in a posture of drawing a gun, and he took a deep breath.

Everything seemed to happen in an instant, from Arthur drawing the gun to shooting. In just a few seconds, Zhou Zheng only heard two, no, maybe three gunshots, and the bullets in Arthur's empty revolver. .

Zhou Zheng swore that he never blinked, but he still couldn't see Arthur's movements clearly. He ran to the tree trunk and hit the center of the fork on the tree trunk with six bullets. It was simply miraculous.

Arthur walked up to Zhou Zheng and was very satisfied with his results. He smiled and said to Zhou Zheng, "How are you, young man? Have you learned the lesson?"

Zhou Zheng looked at Arthur dumbfounded: "Boss, I don't even see how you did it. Can you slow down a little bit?"

Arthur looked at Zhou Zheng with disgust: "Why are you so stupid? You just need to hold the trigger and then use the fingers of your left hand to move the hammer one by one."

As he spoke, he took out his pistol and demonstrated it to Zhou Zheng again. Now he understood a little bit, so he took out his own pistol and tried it.

As soon as he raised the gun, Arthur shouted: "Why are you raising it so high? Put the gun on your waist with your right hand, and use your left hand to pull the hammer."

Zhou Zheng quickly adjusted his posture, took a deep breath, and fired at the tree trunk. After only two shots were fired, the gun misfired. Zhou Zheng's fingers seemed not to know where to put them.

Arthur was a little irritable when he saw it, and demonstrated it to Zhou Zheng again. Zhou Zheng always felt that this guy was casting magic, and it was not shooting at all.

"To be honest, I didn't understand it at all." Zhou Zheng said helplessly: "Your hand speed is too fast. How many years have you been single?"

Naturally, Arthur didn't understand this joke from the future, but he knew it was not a good thing, so he said harshly: "If half of your talking skills were used to grow your brain, you wouldn't be so stupid. .”

Watching the irresponsible Arthur leave, Zhou Zheng sighed and said, "Hey, it's better to ask for help than to ask for help from yourself."

Several empty wine bottles were unearthed from the snow behind the house. Place them in a row on the stone. Let’s start with the basics.

Raise the gun and find a way to draw the gun, aim and shoot a dragon in the fastest possible time. Of course, you must maintain accuracy.

For the next time, Zhou Zheng was practicing his marksmanship crazily, but it always felt weird. In the end, Da Qi couldn't stand it anymore and ran out to teach Zhou Zheng.

It must be said that he taught two sharpshooters. Dutch was better at teaching than Arthur. He disassembled the movements on his fingers and taught them to Zhou Zheng step by step. Soon Zhou Zheng mastered the key points and was able to splash water as fast as Arthur.

That's right, with Zhou Zheng's current shooting skills, this kind of rapid fire can only be called water splashing, because there is no accuracy at all in shooting like this, and it basically depends on where it hits.

But Dutch also said, you have to learn it quickly or not, it just depends on your talent, so take your time.

The next week was a bit uneventful. Zhou Zheng gradually became familiar with everyone in the gang. So far, except for Micah, the rat, there is no one in the gang that he can't accept. Everyone is very enthusiastic.

The weather is getting better day by day, the snow has stopped, the long-lost sun shines on the earth again, and there are more traces of animals in the forest. Lenny and others no longer return empty-handed when they go hunting. Everyone else was staying in the camp, and there really wasn't anywhere to go. Zhou Zheng's daily routine consisted of practicing boxing and shooting alone, walking horses, changing John's dressing, and following Lenny Bill. Waiting for others to drink and brag.

When Zhou Zheng was practicing boxing, many people were very funny about his moves at first. But when Arthur said that he couldn't beat this kid, everyone expressed their disbelief. Several young men in the camp wanted to try with Zhou Zheng. , just try it, the result is that everyone lies on the ground.

This made everyone admire him even more. Gradually, Zhou Zheng gained some status in the camp. Everyone no longer thought that this kid was just a newbie, but a ruthless person with proven experience.

Of course, Zhou Zheng's fight was not in vain. After several actual battles, Zhou Zheng gradually combined the Tai Chi he learned in his previous life with the remaining combat experience in the memory of the original master in this life, and combined it to create a fighting style that suits him.

It is based on the defensive counterattack of Tai Chi, plus some boxing techniques that the original owner has practiced since he was a child. Zhou Zheng can't remember the name of it, but he just thinks that this boxing method is a bit like the military boxing of later generations. Zhou Zheng probably also practiced it in the army before, so it is somewhat similar. It should not be excessive.

Zhou Zheng also discovered that the current physical fitness of this body is really good. If Zhou Zheng had Skills 4 and Body 4 in his previous life, he would only be slightly better than ordinary people. Now Zhou Zheng is a master with Skills 7 and Body 7. Although he definitely cannot beat top masters like Master Ye and Master Wan, he can beat Luo. The master is still fine.

Thanks to the supplies snatched from the Odrisco Gang, everyone has been doing well these days. At least they no longer have to make do. Although the food is still not enough, the men in the gang take turns to go hunting. It also fed everyone.

Pearson's stew no longer only contained messy canned meat, but also contained a lot of fresh game. Zhou Zheng also went hunting with Charles and others and shot a deer with his gun. Although he was inexperienced, , unable to kill with one shot, causing Pearson to dig out 8 bullets from the carcass when picking up the deer, but at least there was progress, right?

Compared with the frustration and sadness when I first arrived here, at least now everyone has enough to eat and no one is dying.

John is also getting better day by day. I have to say that this guy's recovery power is really strong. Such a serious injury did not cause inflammation and left no sequelae. Zhou Zheng was impressed. He felt more and more that Arthur was right. John This guy is a man of iron.

What surprised Zhou Zheng the most is that this gang that fights and kills every day actually has an artistic young woman: Mary Beth. This is a beautiful girl who is addicted to literary novels. She reads a thick novel all day long. She was also the girl who was sprayed the most by Ms. Grimshaw.

Although Zhou Zheng was not a great scholar in his previous life, he had read a lot of strange novels and also dabbled in some foreign masterpieces. It only took one meal to make Mary Beth take a new look at him, and he became a confidant. She kept asking Zhou Zheng some questions about famous works.

This also impressed the men in the camp, and they all said privately that this guy was really good at seducing women and they should be more careful in the future.

Lenny even secretly took a small notebook and asked Zhou Zheng to teach him some poems, which he could use to hook up with girls in pubs later. Zhou Zheng had been single his whole life, how could he do this, but one dared to teach and the other dared to learn, and they even made an appointment to wait until Let's go to the pub together in town to test our learning results.

Everyone became optimistic, and everyone gradually felt that Blackwater Town's failure was only temporary, that they were developing in a good direction, or that everyone's luck was back.

Except Sadie Adler.

This poor woman was still silent in the nightmare that night, and her husband's tragic death still made it impossible for her to face the reality.

Everyone wanted to comfort her, but except for Abigail, who had been taking care of her, everyone else looked dull when talking to her.

Early that morning, Sadie was sitting alone on a big rock next to the forest. She looked extremely haggard. Zhou Zheng walked up to her, sat on the stone on one side and asked, "Hey, Sadie." ,What are you looking at?"

Sadie turned her head and glanced at him, and after a long time she said slowly: "That's the direction of my home. But he..."

"Your home is in that direction, but where is my home?" Zhou Zheng said with a sigh. The only way Zhou Zheng could think of to help a sad person get over his sadness was to tell him a story that was sadder than him, so that he could relate to it. This was how Zhou Zheng comforted his friend before he fell in love.

Although they are all stories found at story gatherings.

"What's wrong with your home?" Sure enough, this sentence caught Sadie's attention, and she asked.

"My parents are both dead. I am an orphan. I lived on the streets alone for several years, and then I was deceived by my fellow villagers to come to the United States. Now I am all alone. I don't even know where my home is..." Zhou Zhenggao Sheng said that he actually had another version of the story, but he really couldn't tell it.

"You...hey, this damn world." Sadie wanted to say something, but in the end she could only curse.

Zhou Zheng looked at Shadi and said slowly: "So, cheer up, there is nothing you can't handle. You have to know that you haven't avenged your husband yet. Are you willing to let him die like this?"

Speaking of revenge, Sadie's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, I want revenge. I want to avenge Adam. I want to kill that guy with my own hands. No, I want to kill all the people in the Odrisco Gang."

These words seemed to ignite a dry firewood pile. Sadie's whole aura suddenly changed. If Sadie was a lifeless dead person before, then now she is a gunpowder that explodes indiscriminately. .

Zhou Zheng didn't know if this was good or bad, but he knew that if Sadie was left like before, she would probably not be able to survive it.

Shadi wiped away her tears and said to Zhou Zheng: "Thank you, I think I know what I will do next."

"That's good."

Shadi turned around and went back. Lenny, who was about to come to Zhou Zheng for a drink, was very surprised to see Shadi's sudden change in temperament. He handed the wine to Zhou Zheng and asked: "What did you say to her? I feel like something is wrong with her now. "

Zhou Zheng took the wine, took a sip, looked at Lenny and said, "Hatred will eat you up. I hope she can understand. There are some words that are useless no matter how much others persuade her."

"You are like a poet now. I feel that you are very much like the one in the book...how do you say that word?" Lenny thought for a long time and finally choked out a word: "Melancholy." Yes, that’s the word.”

"Are you sure you understand what you are talking about?" Zhou Zheng was speechless. This guy definitely drank too much.

Putting the bottle into Lenny's mouth, Zhou Zheng turned around and walked towards the camp.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"It's cold, go back to bed."
