Chapter 31 Warm Town

"Everyone, please disturb me today!"

Lao Zhang clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention to him, pointed at Sun Cheng and said, "Thanks to Hunter's help, I brought my elder brother back from Big Apple City from thousands of miles away."

"Hi, brother, thank you!"

Xiao Wa patted Sun Cheng on the shoulder and thanked him sincerely for Lao Zhang.

The total population of this Perfect Town is only fourteen. Lao Zhang’s grocery store is the only store in the town. They usually receive many favors from Lao Zhang.

Especially the two cowboys, Xiao Wa and Earl, who often had no meals after eating, so they naturally had a lot of credit at Lao Zhang's store, so they had a closer relationship with him than others.

Sun Cheng smiled and nodded, "Uncle Zhang lives in the same apartment as me, and used to take good care of me. This is what I should do!"

Old Zhang took a deep breath, calmed down his mood before speaking again: "When Perfect Town was not yet established, it was reported that after the gold mine was discovered here, my grandfather and grandma took my father and other miners to travel thousands of miles from California to come here, and our family was found."

Burt's body suddenly straightened a little, and his face seemed to be a little proud.

Sun Cheng subconsciously glanced at him more. He had heard from the conversation that Bert mentioned that Bert's grandfather was the first mayor of Perfect Town.

The abandoned gold mine on the nearby mountain belonged to the Bert family back then.

Because of this relationship, although people have been moving out of Perfect Town over the past hundred years, Bert, who is the richest in his family, has never moved away.

"Although my elder brother left Perfect Town more than 40 years ago and went to Big Apple City to work hard, he was also born in our Perfect Town, and the roots are here like us!"

After wiping the corners of his eyes, Old Zhang spoke in a solemn tone, "So everyone, I plan to hold a simple funeral for my elder brother tomorrow. I hope everyone can come here and send him through the last journey!"

Earl responded first, "Old Zhang, you don't need to say much. If you need help, just give me instructions!"

Xiao Wa nodded, and showed off his biceps.

"Old Zhang, please give us any dirty and tiring work. No one in Perfect Town is better at doing physical work than us!"

Bert and his wife Heather also responded, "Old Zhang, I'll inform the others in the town to come and help!"

Heather: "Nancy should have finished clothes there. I'll go and have her pick a suit and bring it to her."

Although the town has only a dozen residents, the relationship between neighbors is really good.

After Lao Zhang's words, the few people in the grocery store responded and even took the initiative to help, without any ambiguity.

Sun Cheng likes this atmosphere quite a bit. After all, Lao Mi is extremely racially discriminatory. During this trip, he experienced several verbal provocations when he temporarily stayed in a roadside restaurant.

The atmosphere in Perfect Town is exactly the same as in the best memory of his life in the rural areas of Xia Kingdom when he was young in his previous life.

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Cheng also took the initiative to speak: "Uncle Zhang, I am also planning to stay in Perfect Town for a while. If you have any place to use me, just talk!"

Lao Zhang was moved by the enthusiasm of a group of people, but shook his head repeatedly.

"After a while, Bert helps inform the others in the town. If Xiao Wa and Earl are free, just go and say to Fred, the doctor and his wife, and Egg! I've prepared everything else I need to prepare a few days ago."

When Bert, Little Wa, Earl and others heard this, they looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Burt also served as the mayor of the town, so after saying hello to everyone, he left Lao Zhang's grocery store and was about to inform others.

Xiao Wa and Earl stayed in the grocery store for a while and bought a few cans of canned food and beer. Then they greeted Sun Cheng, whom they met, and left.

After everyone left, the grocery store suddenly became quiet.

The gangster Ma Wen is still in the middle of the country, so he is not the one who can sit still.

Seeing an opportunity that Lao Zhang didn't pay attention, he ran out with a basketball. A sound of a basketball racquet hitting the ground soon came outside the house.

After he left, only Lao Zhang and Sun Cheng were left in the grocery store.

Sun Cheng planned to go out for a walk, but just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Lao Zhang.

"Hunt, I'm really troubled you this time!" He expressed his gratitude to Sun Cheng again.

After all, Perfect Town is more than 4,000 kilometers away from Big Apple City. Even if you take a plane to Las Vegas, there will be no trains, and buses and planes to directly reach the distance of hundreds of kilometers. You can only drive by yourself.

Before, Lao Zhang didn't know how to drive because the journey was inconvenient. In addition, he had to take care of his grandson on weekends, so he couldn't go to Big Apple City to deal with his elder brother's funeral in person.

Sun Cheng smiled and shook his head: "I happened to be fine recently. It is my honor to send Uncle Zhang through the last journey!"

Lao Zhang sighed and asked, "Have you used breakfast? I'll get you something to eat!"

"No, I've eaten it!"

"Oh well!"

Lao Zhang picked up a rag from the counter, then took out a wooden sign that had suspended business and hung it at the door.

"You can live with me these days. I'll clean up a room for you first. The environment here is simple, don't mind!"

"How could it be! I have longed for the life of Western cowboys in movies for a long time!"

Naturally, Sun Cheng would not tell him that he would enter the farm space to rest at night.

However, he still understood Lao Zhang's kindness. Seeing that he was going to clean up the house for himself, he thought about it before speaking: "Uncle Zhang, if nothing is wrong here for the time being, I will drive around the nearby area first and enjoy the scenery of the Perfect Town!"

"What's the best place to look like? Go and go!"

Lao Zhang, who has lived in this remote western town for a lifetime, obviously cannot understand Sun Cheng's idea, but he still squeezed out a little smile and waved his hand to signal him to be at will.

"Don't forget to come over for lunch. If you see a stranger, report my name. They won't make things difficult for you!"

Americans attach great importance to private property, and the law even writes private property into it invincible.

Therefore, in the United States, if you accidentally break into someone else's home, or even manors, farmlands, or ranches, your owners have the right to kill them.

"OK!"

Sun Cheng knew that Lao Zhang was kindly reminder, and nodded with a smile. He turned around and walked out of the grocery store. Before he could even arrive in front of his car, he heard the sound of wind chimes again. Lao Zhang hurriedly ran out of the grocery store.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you. Yesterday, Bert found signs of wild wolves preying on him more than 20 kilometers southwest. Be careful not to drive too far. Do you have weapons to defend yourself?"

As he said that, Lao Zhang raised a revolver in his hand.

Sun Cheng smiled and opened the car door, groped for a while, and took out the m1911a1 pistol from the farm space in a corner that he couldn't see.

He raised his weapon and let Lao Zhang see it.

The somewhat short and fat Chinese old man smiled and nodded at him, "I'm relieved, go and enjoy our perfect town well, although I don't think there is any scenery here!"
