Chapter 6 The Call of Tacitus Kilgore(2/2)
"Nonsense," Brandy objected immediately, "Do you think I'm going out for an outing this time? I'm going to risk my life, you know?"
"Then it's even more important for me to go," Mattie argued with reason. "You are still in the stage where the doctor said you should rest. Although there is basically nothing serious now, what if something goes wrong? I
I have to watch you to prevent you from making any overly ambitious decisions."
"Mattie, don't be ridiculous, this is not a child's play," Brandi sighed and said, "Do you want me to be distracted from taking care of you during a fierce gun battle with a dozen or even twenty vicious gangsters?
?”
"I don't need you to take care of me. I have a gun, I know how to use it, and I have even killed people," Mattie said firmly, "I don't care, even if you don't take me, I will follow you.
Even if I take it step by step, I have to go to West Elizabeth with you."
Looking at the girl's stubborn face, Brandy knew that if she really turned around and left, this little girl could really do what she just said.
He felt that he was really tired. He had never done anything harmful in his previous life, so why did he end up with such a small ancestor?
"Alas..." After a long sigh, Brandi said, "Go back, wear clothes that are easy for movement, take the gun, and then follow me immediately."
Hearing that Brandi was finally willing to take her with her, Maddie almost jumped up with joy. Just as she was about to turn around and go into the house to change clothes, Maddie thought of something and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
"Of course I'll choose a suitable pony for you while it's daylight," Brandi said helplessly, "Hurry up, the sun will go down in three or four hours."
Mattie was very happy when she heard that she would have a pony of her own. She even began to think that today was her lucky day, so she no longer hesitated and went into the house to pack her things.
Brandy watched the little girl close the door of the cabin, leaned down, and asked Jueying softly: "Do you think I should agree to her request?"
Of course Jueying couldn't speak, but he seemed to understand Brandy's words. He shook his head and snorted, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Then what do you think we should do now?" Brandi understood Jueying's meaning and asked again.
Jueying directly responded to the question with action. He took the initiative and walked in the direction of Valentine.
"What a smart horse." Brandy sighed at the wisdom of her beloved horse, and observed the distance between herself and the cabin. When she was sure that the little girl could not hear her movements outside the house, Brandy
Di clamped the horse's belly hard, and Jueying ran towards the south like a black whirlwind.
When the little girl was fully dressed and came out of the house carrying a small suitcase, there was only a passing carriage outside the house and slowly left in the direction away from Valentine.
Mattie was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that she had been cheated. She was so angry that she almost roared to the sky, but she restrained herself. Even though she was only about ten years old, she had already learned how to behave in an emotional situation.
Stay rational, even though no one can control this skill freely, but at the moment, she did it.
She took steps forward almost without hesitation and walked in the direction of Valentine.
