Chapter 623 Sheriff’s Plan

Seeing how persistent Zhang Heng was, Wendy said nothing but obediently followed him back to her ranch.

A woman milking a cow in a cowshed saw Wendy returning and immediately put down the milk bucket and ran over. Taking Wendy into her embrace, she sobbed, “Great, they said a strange oriental man kidnaped you. And Matthew is not there. I almost died of worry!”

Wendy tried to move her head away from her mother’s chest, and she glanced at Zhang Heng awkwardly, “Sorry…” Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, “It okay. Such is the nature of humans.”

“Oh!”

Wendy’s mother finally noticed Zhang Heng, immediately shoving her daughter behind her, a hint of alertness showing in her eyes. She probably did not know what to say, so she just stood there.

The scene was a little awkward. In the end, Zhang Heng broke the silence. “I have escorted your daughter back here safely. You’d better watch her and don’t let her run off anymore.”

This time, Wendy’s cooperation made Zhang Heng felt a little uneasy. Considering how she was p.r.o.ne to making an escape, he couldn’t help but worry that she would sneak out again. Initially, he wanted to ask someone to watch over her, but he did not have the manpower to fight against Cook Gang. Hence, he couldn’t afford to take out someone from this team to do such a thing.

“I didn’t mess around. I went out to find my father!” Wendy defended herself.

“Whatever, you just need to stay home this time,” replied Zhang Heng before giving Wendy’s mom a nod. “Excuse me.”

After that, he left with Radish without waiting for the answer from Wendy’s mother. As soon as Zhang Heng left, a beer carriage rolled into Lincoln County.

The coachman jumped out of the wagon, unloading barrels of beer, and some workers from the wagon. The barkeeper walked out and was a little surprised when he saw them. “Where is Bhagat? Wasn’t he the one delivering the beer before this?”

“Bhagat has been diagnosed with a bad case of measles. I’m his replacement for

now.”

“Poor boy,” the bar owner muttered with emotion, “I hope he recovers soon. Come on, bring the beer in. You haven’t had lunch yet, right? I have some food left in the kitchen.”

“That couldn’t be better.” The driver tied the horse and smiled, showing a row of yellow teeth.

The bar owner did not notice that the workers following the driver had gone a little pale. Even if he noticed, he would not take it seriously. Bhagat, the coachman who was working with him, had measles. It was understandable why the young man was in a bad mood.

After Zhang Heng handled Wendy’s affairs, he immediately returned to the sheriff and other people. From a distance, Zhang Heng saw the old sheriff cutting something with a knife. Zhang Heng then walked up to him, “Why, are you still a tailor?” “I’m no freaking tailor, but if you want Cook and his men to abandon the hunter’s cabin, you better pray that my tailoring is good enough.”
