Chapter 73 Devil’s Ridge and Workers

The three of them arrived at Wallace Station first. Alice identified the direction, pointed to a south-facing path and said, "This is right here. We started from here and walked all the way along the railway."

Zhou Zheng took out the map and looked at it. Yes, it was indeed the direction of Devil Ridge.

Riding a horse along the railway, the scenery on the road became more and more familiar to Alice. Finally, at a turning point, a dilapidated carriage stopped on the side of the road. It was Alice's carriage.

Seeing the carriage, Alice became excited: "That's it, that's my carriage."

As soon as her horse stopped, Alice hurried to the carriage, but there was nothing here.

Zhou Zheng dismounted and checked the car. Some of the debris left in the car were chewed into tatters. There was a large amount of blood on the ground beside the carriage, mixed with messy bloody footprints. It was obvious at a glance that it was the work of the wolves.

"It seems that there is nothing left." Zhou Zheng said regretfully: "We are late."

This discovery made Alice heartbroken, tears streaming down her eyes uncontrollably, and she fell to the ground and fainted.

Sadie hurriedly hugged her, helped her and let her sit on the carriage. Zhou Zheng said: "Hitch your horse to the cart. We will drive the cart back. We will need it later."

Let Alice lie down in the car to rest for a while, and the two of them hitched the carriage. Sadie drove the car slowly towards Strawberry Town.

"I'll take you to Strawberry Town, and then I'll go back first." Zhou Zheng was still worried about being recognized by others.

"Is it because of what happened with Micah last time?" Shadi looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "What happened that time?"

Zhou Zheng told Sa Di what happened one by one, and Sa Di smiled and said: "I don't understand Daqi's criteria for accepting people now. Why does he accept all kinds of people?"

Zhou Zheng shrugged and said he couldn't understand.

The two walked for a while, and Alice behind the carriage finally recovered. The continuous mental blows made her a little overwhelmed.

The stables in Strawberry Town are still a little far away from the town, and there are not many people here. Zhou Zheng feels that he should not be so unlucky.

As soon as the three of them entered the stable, the boss came up to greet them enthusiastically: "Hello, ladies and gentlemen, what kind of horses do you need? I have all kinds of good horses here..."

Before he could finish talking, Sadie interrupted anxiously: "I need a horse, a horse that can fight."

This request really startled the boss: "Madam, if this is a war, this..."

Zhou Zheng hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Don't listen to her, what kind of horses do you have here?"

The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I have some good racing horses here that just arrived a few days ago. Come with me. This way."

The three of them followed the boss to the back of the stable. There was another stable here. When he opened the door, the boss said: "These are all high-quality horses, and ordinary people have no chance to come in."

There were only two horses inside, a brown Dutch warmblood horse and a dark gelding Andalusian horse. There was no choice. The Dutch warmblood horse was a bit too big for Sadie. The Andalusian horse The horse is just right.

Similarly, such a good racehorse will naturally not be cheap. After some bargaining and paying a full two hundred and thirty dollars, Sadie finally got what she wanted and took him home.

Of course this money was given by Zhou Zheng. Shadi was penniless and her pockets were empty. How could she have so much money.

"Sadie, I'm going back first. You can take Alice to Strawberry Town for a day or two and let her relax. You also have a carriage, so you can buy some things we need to bring back. By the way, there are also Remember to find someone to buy those jewelry, and be sure to find different people to sell them in batches." Zhou Zheng wrote some things he needed on paper and handed it to Shadi: "The money to buy the horse is considered as my loan to you, wait for you Pay me back when you have money, don’t worry, I won’t charge interest.”

"Why did you suddenly become my creditor?" Shadi said with a smile: "It seems that I will have to work for you in the next period of time."

"Then work hard and take our new employees to relax first." Zhou Zheng joked with a smile.

Zhou Zheng said goodbye to Sadie and Alice, and rode back alone.

Seeing Zhou Zheng walking away, Sadie pulled Alice and said, "Let's go to the town to relax."

The two drove to the town. Strawberry Town had recovered from Micah's madness, but these people were wary of outsiders. They only let them in after seeing that there were only two ladies, Sadie and Alice. small town.

Alice looked at the town in front of her. Originally, her family was planning to settle here. Thinking of her parents' corpses, she could only sit in the car and cry silently, hugging her legs.

The two came to the hotel, which was the same hotel where Arthur and Zhou Zheng stayed last time. They got a room. Sadie said to Alice: "I'm going out to buy something. You wait for me in the room. Don't go out. You know A strange woman like you walking alone on the street can easily trigger bad thoughts in some people."

Alice looked at Sadie worriedly. She could only rely on Sadie now, and said timidly: "Sister Sadie, then you..."

Sadie looked at poor Alice, raised the shotgun in her hand, and said with a smile: "I'm different, I will make a big hole in those people's heads."

After saying that, he walked out of the hotel coolly.

Sadie came to a jewelry store, opened the door and went in. The store looked very new, it should have just opened not long ago. The boss was a young woman. When she saw Sadie coming in, she said enthusiastically: "Hello, madam. , if you need anything, I have it here..."

Shadi directly interrupted the boss, took out the jewelry Zhou Zheng gave him from her bag, and said to the boss: "I want to sell these, how much can you pay."

The boss was not upset when he was interrupted. He picked up the jewelry with a smile and after a few glances, he was sure that the jewelry definitely did not belong to the same person. The boss asked slowly: "Madam, please forgive me for asking. Come on, your jewelry..."

Sadie said decisively: "My sister needs medical treatment. I want to take her to Blackwater Town. These jewelry belong to my parents and relatives. I need to sell them to my sister for medical treatment. If you can't come up with a If the price is good, I wouldn’t mind selling it in Blackwater Town.”

Seeing that Sadie's words were categorical and did not look like she was lying, the boss gradually felt relieved. Strawberry Town has not been peaceful recently.

He picked up the jewelry one by one and inspected it. After a long time, the boss said to Shadi who looked impatient: "Madam, these jewelry of yours are very old. They must have been worn by family members for a long time. I will collect them." If you want to take action when you come back, you have to..."

"Just tell me the price." Sadie said straightforwardly.

"Eighty-five dollars, this is the highest price. If you go to Blackwater Town, it will only be cheaper than this. You have to know that there are more jewelry stores there." The boss said calmly.

Sadie thought for a while and used her poor jewelry-buying experience to make an estimate. She found that she couldn't calculate clearly, so she simply said: "For one hundred yuan, you can take them away."

"Ninety yuan at most, you know..." The boss wanted to say something else. Sadie didn't listen, picked up the package and turned around to leave.

"Okay, okay, one hundred dollars, you win." Sure enough, the bargaining method is still very effective.

Sadie smiled and put the jewelry on the counter, and said proudly: "Pay for it."
