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

Early the next morning, when Zhou Zheng woke up from his sleep and crawled out of the tent in a daze. John is already making breakfast.

"Good morning." John looked at Zhou Zheng, who was shaking his head, and said hello with a smile.

"Morning. Where is Arthur?" Zhou Zheng turned around and looked, but saw no sign of Arthur, nor was he in the tent.

"He went out for a walk and solved some personal problems." John said while tinkering with the bonfire: "There is still some soup left last night, and I also brought some bread, so I can have breakfast later."

The weather was a bit cold, and Zhou Zheng shivered, which suddenly reminded him of his days in Coulter Village.

John took out the bread from the bag. The large pieces of bread were frozen hard. John simply took the dagger, cut the bread into small pieces and threw them into the hot soup.

Zhou Zheng's cheeks were twitching as he watched. They all said that Americans only eat to make their stomachs wet. It turns out that this is a tradition.

Zhou Zheng felt an indescribable feeling as he watched a pot of milky-white fragrant fish soup turn into a yellow-brown paste.

But looking at John, he's eating quite deliciously...

Zhou Zheng lit up a cigarette and took a puff. This was something he had to do every morning, and it was a high priority.

After finishing smoking a cigarette, Arthur staggered back.

"I just took a look around. The road heading north is in good condition. If we go early and return early, there should be no problem."

John served Arthur a bowl of paste, and Arthur didn't mind it. He drank it with a slurp.

"We can spend the night in Coulter Village." Zhou Zheng held his own bowl and drank slowly.

This thing may look a bit weird, but whether it's fish soup or bread, they're all real good things, and they're not unpalatable no matter how you prepare them.

"We are traveling anyway, so it doesn't matter if we play for two more days." Zhou Zheng said casually.

"That's right, there's no rush anyway." John nodded: "We can even go further north."

"I think you just don't want to go back and see those cows of yours." Arthur revealed John's little thought: "But when we go back, we can go to Valentine and take the same road we took before."

"Going to Valentine? What are you doing there?" John asked in confusion.

"A friend sent me something, but I haven't picked it up for a long time." Arthur explained: "That time at Emerald Ranch, he took a photo of me, Zhou and Charles, and said that it had been developed I sent it to Valentine, but we are so busy that we haven’t picked it up yet.”

After so much time, it shouldn't be a big problem for them to go to Valentine now. The three of them had breakfast, packed up their things, and headed north along the river.

It snowed again last night. This road was very difficult to walk, but fortunately the snow stopped in the early morning. There was no wind today. The sun rarely shined through the thick dark clouds, and the sun was barely able to dissipate it. A deep chill.

The journey was not far. Near noon, the three of them successfully arrived at Coulter Village.

Zhou Zheng looked very melancholy as he looked at everything familiar here.

This place is even more dilapidated than when they left. The house where Zhou Zheng slept has completely collapsed. Things that are not maintained by anyone are like this. They break down very quickly.

There are still some messy garbage on the snow in the middle of the village, which are the traces left after their carnival.

The three of them came to a small cemetery behind the village, which was David's grave.

John and Arthur looked very sad. Zhou Zheng lit three cigarettes and stuck them in the snow in front of the cross according to his own habit.

"Brother, although we don't know each other, I still hope you have a happy life there." Zhou Zheng helped him clean up the snow on the cross, which could be regarded as a token of appreciation.

"We are going to continue walking north later to see Jenny. Are you going? Or should you wait for us here." Arthur's tone was a little low. He tightened his coat and asked Zhou Zheng beside him.

"I won't go. I remember Sadie said before that her house is nearby. Do you still remember?" Zhou Zheng remembered that Sadie had said before that when she was rescued by Arthur, everything was gone. She didn't bring it with her. She always wanted to go back and see if there was anything that hadn't been burned.

"Ah, of course I remember." Arthur took two steps forward and said to a path heading east: "You keep walking along this road and you will see it when you reach the end. To be honest, I never understood it. Why does Sadie live in such a deserted place.”

"Maybe it's some special hobby. I'll go there and have a look to see if there's anything left that hasn't been burned." Zhou Zheng turned around and led the horse towards the path.

"Let's meet here!" Arthur responded, and then continued heading north with John.

Zhou Zheng was riding his horse along the path east. Compared to Jenny, whom he didn't even know, Sadie was one of his own after all.

They helped each other along the way, went through many difficulties together, and helped themselves so much. Since you are free now, let's go to her house and have a look. If you are lucky, there will be something left.

Zhou Zheng walked slowly along the path. The scenery along the way was very nice, but the forest on both sides of the road became more lush. A large number of tall trees were covered with heavy snow. In the forest, Zhou Zheng also saw many large trees. Deer were jumping on the snow.

Sadie's house is at a high place with a wide view and beautiful scenery. Zhou Zheng also understood why Sadie and her husband lived here in the first place.

To be honest, if the weather here wasn't really bad and he already had a dog ranch, Zhou Zheng really wouldn't mind retiring here.

But it's a pity that this place has become a ruins, with large amounts of snow pressing on the dark ruins.

Zhou Zheng wanted to lift up the snow and ruins on the surface to see if he could go in, but after struggling for a long time, he only managed to get a little open.

After removing the snow beside the door and looking inside, Zhou Zheng realized that the entire house had collapsed. Unless it was completely removed, there was nothing that could be done.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zheng could only sigh helplessly and stood up to go back.

But when he turned around, Zhou Zheng saw a small box in the ruins on one side. Zhou Zheng quickly stepped forward, leaned down and reluctantly pulled the box out.

Zhou Zheng rubbed his hands and opened the box. Inside was some jewelry and a photo of Sadie and a handsome young man.

It seems that this trip was not in vain. Zhou Zheng packed up all the photos and jewelry and put them back in the box, preparing to give them to Shadi when he returned. She should be very happy to see this.
