Chapter 607 Misunderstanding

Although they had only worked together for less than half a day, doubts about each other had begun to materialize. Wendy suspected Zhang Heng wasn’t as good as she initially thought him to be, and Zhang Heng began to doubt if Wendy would fulfill her promise at all.

For Wendy, she had no other choice. Since she had chosen Zhang Heng, she could only rely on him no matter what would happen. At the same time, Zhang Heng gained valuable knowledge and skills, and since it could be considered part of the reward, his doubts didn’t bother him too much.

To avoid having to spend the night in the wilderness, the two sped up their horses. Zhang Heng could actually make Radish run faster. After all, he came to Lincoln County alone. Only one thing worried him-Radish would become difficult to control if it started running more quickly, in turn, increasing the risk of accidents. Hence, he felt that the journey shouldn’t be rushed.

But when compared to sleeping on the gra.s.s, a little suffering was nothing.

In the end, the two arrived at Glen Town at about seven in the evening.

“This is the town.” Wendy pointed at a bar in the middle of the town square. “My father always tells me about this place, saying that their apple pie is delicious. Every time he pa.s.ses by, he will buy one, and sometimes, even two for my mother and me.”

Zhang Heng nodded, “Let’s stick to your plan. You go inside and ask when the last time your father showed up and if he pa.s.sed through here on his return trip. I’ll head to the hotel to book two rooms.”

If he wanted to, Zhang Heng could actually head to the bar himself to ask those questions. Nonetheless, the terrible experience he had to endure when he entered a bar last time made him decide to keep a low profile and leave the communications part to Wendy. Even though the latter was only twelve years old, the rancher’s daughter was very good at what she was supposed to do, and she also knew how to communicate well, revealing maturity far beyond her age.

Undoubtedly, the harsh environment she lived in played a big part in shaping her into who she was today.

Every time her father went out to sell cattle, he would have to leave home for an extended period. During this time, she was required to take care of the remaining horses and cattle in the ranch and look after her mother. Coupled with the townsfolk’s hostility, being brave wasn’t just an option.

“Okay,” Wendy nodded. “Don’t worry, just leave it to me.”

“See you at the hotel.”

The hotel and bar in Glen Town were very close to each other. After the two separated, Zhang Heng paid for the accommodation and asked someone to care for Lightning and Radish before retreating to his room. There, he removed his revolvers and used the time to perform simple maintenance on the guns.

However, after a quarter of an hour, he didn’t see Wendy entering her room. Thus, Zhang Heng waited another five minutes before he got up and walked downstairs.

Wendy carefully avoided a pile of horse dung and what seemed to be vomit under her feet and pushed the bar’s doors open.

A woman with a flower-dotted skirt was near the door. Seeing Wendy, she said, “This is no place for a child.”

“I’m not a kid anymore, madam,” Wendy said.

“I am not a madam either,” the woman smiled.
