100 Things You Must Do in the West

Sergeant Jack flicked the copper coin with his long thumb, and grabbed the falling copper coin in mid-air. The hard texture triggered a sense of realism in his heart through the glove.

Adrian sat in the jury and didn't care about his naked gaze; Sergeant Jack also learned to ignore and suppress the discomfort in his heart, and there was always a chance to settle accounts in the future.

Father Ennoson temporarily interrogated the "suspect" sitting in front of him, Dr. Edward, as a judge.He gently asked Dr. Edward if he had his meals and prayed to the Father on time.

Sergeant Jack couldn't bear it any longer, put the copper coin into his pocket, apologized to Father Enochson, and began to interrogate the "suspect".However, as always, Dr. Edward was so drunk that he didn't know why, so naturally he couldn't produce any evidence.

But there are many people who can testify that they saw Dr. Edward sneaking around the burning house and going out of town alone during this time... Dr. Edward in the chair snored unconsciously and fell asleep during the witness attendance up.

The corners of Sergeant Jack’s eyes twitched slightly. He looked at Father Enossen on the judge’s seat. The latter watched helplessly as Dr. Edward gradually tilted to the ground—everyone was silent, with more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at the lying face. Dr. Edward, who was sleeping soundly on the ground.

They can't help but have a question: Can such a person really be an internal responder?

Sergeant Jack took a deep breath, stood up, and presented the evidence and inferences he had collected; the doubts in everyone's minds were instantly dispersed, and they shared their dissatisfaction and doubts about Dr. Edward in whispers, and accused each other convincingly of doctor.

In the end, Dr. Edward was tried and exiled from the town of Sendel, and could not return for the rest of his life.

Sheriff Jack thinks that Father Enoch's trial is too merciful: Edward will return to Sendel with a large group of troops, and then carry out the massacre.Father Enoson thinks Sergeant Jack is thinking too badly, and the people in Sendle Town can deal with the robbers.

Father Innocent can issue his decision with more than half of the votes.

Sergeant Jack left without saying a word, his face terribly gloomy.

Adrian followed Sergeant Jack quietly, and saw that he was stopped by a woman before he stepped on the horse. They argued in a low voice, and Sergeant Jack seemed to give up chasing and killing Edward in the end.

Jack glared at Adrian as he walked past him, and Adrian smiled back. He walked slowly to the woman and said, "Nelissa, God keep you safe..."

The next day, the woman whose house had been burned down and was nearly humiliated, and a black child were killed on the path of the house on the edge of the town where they lived.The clothes in her basket were thrown into the dust, and the half-rotten apple that the boy had bitten into rolled in the dirt—fortunately, he died painlessly and was shot dead in the back, but when the woman realized it was on her body Three bullets were nailed: heart, neck, and thigh; it was temporarily impossible to identify where the first bullet was.

Adrian stood outside the gate of the police station, looking through the crowd, and fell on the sparks of the lit cigarette butts, and the dust fell on the handkerchief below, and under the handkerchief was the face of eternal rest.

Father Innocent crossed himself on his chest with a sad face.

Sheriff Jack shook the soot aside, expressionless.

People dispersed in front of the police station, carrying the venomous sunshine, and the eyes of fate drove them to reconsider their previous decisions: they should not be kind to gangsters—even internal agents.

Adrian stood outside the door, like a ghost, lingering in Jack's peripheral vision.

Sheriff Jack led the arrest of the "suspect" Edward who was wandering outside the town in the expectation of the residents of Sendell Town, and executed the hanging in the absence of Father Enochson.Before leaving, Edward only asked to get drunk, and then he was drunk and carried to the execution platform. People from Sendel Town and even nearby travelers came to watch.

Adrian counted the tombstones behind the church, and the sun graciously shed a pure light.The woman and child were also buried here, sharing a coffin - to save money.

Adrian's thoughts inadvertently fell into the drowsiness of the long afternoon. He held the tail of his thoughts and seemed to fly through time. He saw a quiet wilderness. Crunchy...

Adrian opened his eyes, and the sunset fell.

Father Enochon stood over the grave of Nerissa and the boy, his shadow looming over the grave, heavy as a mask soaked in water.

Adrian asked, "What's his name?"

Father Enochon smiled again: "Huck, little Huck." His loving eyes swept across the humble afterlife, "His mother loves him very much."

Adrian followed him as he stared at the place where the corpses were buried six feet below, and said softly, "Enosen, why are you here?"

Father Enoch's expression relaxed: "Because I saw her." Adrian looked at him, "I believed in the existence of God at that moment, and God is a woman."

"For you, there are many gods..." Adrian looked away, "She is just one of them who favors you—'Traveler'." Like others watching the hanging, she was just watching the rise and fall.

Father Enochson smiled and said, "I follow my heart."

Adrian shrugged: "This is really an excellent reason." His white face was covered with a faint haze of afterglow, pure and flawless.

"After all, I am not a fanatic of fundamentalism." Father Enochson said slowly, "Everyone in the west has their own pursuits, and everyone cannot be inspired by the guidance of the Heavenly Father—the Heavenly Father does not Need money, only people in the world need it.”

Adrian tilted his head, observed the setting sun behind the horizon, and murmured: "The sun is beautiful." He saw the sun falling, like the setting sun day after day, burning out the last heat and sinking into the dark ice water , to dissipate the last ray of water vapor; in the blink of an eye, he saw the newborn sun again, just like a newborn baby blooming the first ray of smile...

Adrian wanted to find a coordinate and record the planet.

He thought of a person.

Jack Hotz, the sheriff of Sendle Town, is just a person, to be precise.
