When he got up in the morning, Locke opened the system panel again and found that it still hadn’t been refreshed. He had checked it once before going to bed last night.

It seems that it will take 24 hours, tonight.

How come he clearly remembered that it was refreshed that night at the beginning? Did he remember it wrong?

Including Jonathan Hubble, he killed a total of 18 people yesterday. I don’t know what rewards the system will give out.

But whether it is cowboys or Jonathan Hubble, they don’t seem to be very strong, and they shouldn’t give out anything good.

But this time the shortcoming of riding skills should be made up. After all, including Jonathan Hubble, 18 people are cowboys.

While eating breakfast, Locke found that the atmosphere was better than last night, and everyone was chatting.

After all, it has been a night, and what happened yesterday has cooled down after a night, and many emotions have calmed down.

Jester is asking Harry Thomas about his sleep last night.

Anna Davis is talking to Marian about the air on the farm, saying that the air here is much better than Los Angeles.

Jett was talking to Marcy Davis. The boy woke Marcy up early in the morning to ride a horse. It seems that he has come to his senses.

Jeff Davis was asking what to pay attention to when hunting coyotes.

Today Henry will take everyone to hunt coyotes. They will have a picnic outside at noon. Everyone has changed into clothes that are convenient for riding horses.

After the meal, everyone followed Jester to the gun store to choose guns. Jett also held Marcy Davis’ hand and followed the adults. The two of them were also allowed to participate in today’s hunting activities, so they could also choose rifles.

Hannah led Olivia and her brother and sister to wait at the door of the villa. They were all cowgirls. They would ride horses alone later.

Especially the six-year-old Virgil, who was dressed in a little cowboy style and had a children’s version of a revolver hanging on his waist. He looked cute and heroic.

Locke helped Aunt Lacey clean up the table. When he came out, he saw Uncle Henry calling the cowboys to send the horses up next to the manger, so he walked over.

Just when he was having dinner, he found that Uncle Henry was in a bad mood.

After Henry ended the call, he glanced at him, “Aren’t you going to choose a gun?”

Locke shrugged and said, “I’ve asked Jeter to bring one for me! Henry, what happen?”

Henry shook his head and said, “It’s okay…”

Locke curled his lips, pointed at his eyes, and said unhappily, “Don’t forget that I’m the youngest detective in Los Angeles!”

Henry hesitated for a moment and said unhappily, “The news that Jester went to Horton Farm alone last night spread all over Lebec…”

“Spread it all…”

Locke said nonchalantly, but then his expression froze.

Henry said gloomily, “You also thought of it! This must have been done by the old fox Chester Horton. Why did he publicize it? Isn’t it just to tell everyone that Locke Farm still listens to him, so Jester went to apologize for David Robinson’s attack on William Horton last night…”

Locke thought of another possibility, that this matter might also have been spread by his grandfather Jester.

He smiled and said, “It’s a good thing that this matter has been spread. At least it has calmed down the misunderstanding between Locke Farm and Horton Farm…” Henry snorted coldly, “I really don’t understand what Jester is thinking. Obviously, our current strength is not much worse than Horton Farm. Why does he still follow Chester Horton…” He hooked Locke’s neck, “And you kid, you told me yesterday that when I come back, you will tell me who attacked you. What happened? You ran away before you finished dinner. I couldn’t find you even if I wanted to find you. You actually teamed up with Jester to deceive everyone. What Mexican drug dealers?”

“Humph, if the cowboys who attacked you were hired by Mexican drug dealers, then what about David Robinson attacking William Horton? Was David Robinson bribed by Mexican drug dealers?”

Locke was stunned and said, “You came to see me last night?”

Henry replied, “Yes, but there was no one in your room. Later, I went to arrange a night watch. What did you do?”

Locke was speechless and said hurriedly, “I was in the bathroom!”

“Really?”

Henry stared at Locke suspiciously. At this time, the cowboys sent horses over, and he let Locke go.

Locke stared at Henry’s back and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t expect that the only loophole last night was on his own farm.

“Locke, how about this gun? Marcy helped you choose it…”

Jet and Marcy Davis came over together. They each carried a Ruger 10/22, and handed Locke a Winchester Model 70.

Winchester Model 70

Locke took the Winchester Modell 70, pulled the bolt, checked the maintenance, it seems that Jester usually spends a lot of effort.

He nodded and said: “Not bad, a very good choice, thank you!”

Jeter said again: “Wait, you will teach us how to use the rifle. Marcy and I have only practiced with pistols!”

“Ok, no problem!”

After a while, everyone set off. In addition to Locke and his group, there were more than 20 cowboys carrying AR15.

Locke glanced casually. Jester and Harry Thomas used lever rifles, one was MARLIN MODEL 39A (Marlin 39A model), and the other was WINCHESTER MODEL 1894 (Winchester 1894 model).

He is indeed a master of guns, with taste!

If he chooses a gun himself, he will also choose a lever rifle to play with, such as Browning BLR (Browning BLR).

Among the others, Li Bo chose Mossberg MVP, while Jeff Davis and his uncle Glenn both chose Remington M700.

On the other hand, Marian and Anna Davis, one also chose a Winchester M94 lever-action rifle, and the other chose an M1 Garand, which looked more manly than the three men, so cool!

But isn’t Anna Davis afraid of getting her fingers caught?

Under the leadership of the cowboys, the group headed towards the area where coyotes were infested.

This time, Locke did not join the adults, but helped look after a few children. Although Olivia, Evelyn, and Virgil had been riding for several years, they were still too young.

He also taught Jet and Marcy Davis how to use a rifle.

Both of them had average riding skills, so he told them to get off the horse before firing.

After riding for about an hour, we finally arrived at the hunting area. Fortunately, the scenery along the way was beautiful and not boring.

After arriving at the place, the cowboys were divided into two groups, one group packed up their equipment and followed the others to hunt, and the other group stayed to set up the camp.

When Locke and his team unloaded the supplies and were preparing to split up to hunt, they suddenly heard the roar of a helicopter in the distance.

Locke picked up the telescope on his chest and looked over, and found that four civilian helicopters were flying towards them. It seemed that one of the aircraft was the Bell 407 of Grace Liz’s family.

Others also picked up their telescopes to observe, and Henry signaled Matthew and others to be alert while observing the approaching helicopter.

Locke put down the telescope and said to Marian, “Mum, it seems that one of the planes belongs to Aunt Grace. Can you call and ask what’s going on?”

Jeter interrupted, “There is no signal. I just wanted to post on Instagram but couldn’t!”

Jester Locke put down the telescope and frowned, “The other three planes are from Reynolds Farm, Brown Farm, and Smith Farm. What happened?”

Locke subconsciously looked at his grandfather, and Jester happened to look at him. In fact, both of them guessed what happened.

However, if it was because of Jonathan Hubble’s death, why was there no helicopter from Horton Farm?
