Wilderness Redemption Tour

On the way, Javier comforted Lin Yan: "Boy, hold on, it's just a shoulder injury, you won't die."

Hearing that he was only injured in the shoulder, Lin Yan finally felt relieved. I was so scared, I thought he was dead after just meeting the protagonists. If that was the case, would I be ranked first on the list of "the most miserable time traveler".

After hearing that his life was not in danger, Lin Yan felt his legs regain strength. With Javier's help, he walked into the clinic. Before the doctor asked about his condition, Javier shouted, "Doctor, he was shot. Check him out!"

The doctor in the clinic, wearing a white coat and a pair of frameless glasses, quickly asked Javier to put Lin Yan on the bed in the corner of the clinic. "Take off the clothes on the injured part of his body. I'll go to the inner room to get medicine and tools." After the doctor gave this instruction, he quickly walked into the inner room of the clinic.

Javier helped Lin Yan sit on the bed, then unbuttoned his light-colored shirt, threw the bloody shirt aside, and checked the wound. After checking, he patted Lin Yan's uninjured left shoulder and said, "Fortunately, it's just a superficial wound. The bullet grazed your shoulder and flew past."

At this time, Arthur, covered in mud, also rushed to the clinic. He pushed open the door and asked Javier who was standing beside the bed: "How is he, Javier? Is he seriously injured?"

"Fortunately, it's just a scratch and the bullet didn't stay in the body." Javier said with a relaxed look.

"Oh, that's good, that's good," Arthur repeated, and sank down into the only chair in the room.

"Hey! You made my floor and chair dirty!" The doctor in a white coat couldn't help complaining when he saw Arthur, who was covered in dirt.

"Then include the cleaning fee in the medical expenses." Arthur replied simply, then stood up and walked out again.

The doctor wanted to complain, but when he thought about the "clay man" and the mustachioed man in front of him, both of whom had guns on their waists, he swallowed his complaints.

"Come, let me see his wound."

Javier made way, and the doctor grabbed a handful of cotton and wiped the blood gushing out of Lin Yan's wound. After careful observation, he concluded: "It's just a scratch. Apply some medicine and bandage it for two days and it will be fine." After that, he washed Lin Yan's wound with clean water.

Before disinfection, the doctor reminded Lin Yan: "Bear with it, it may hurt a little later." Before Lin Yan could reply, a sharp pain came from the wound, and Lin Yan couldn't help but screamed in pain. Damn! At least give me some time to prepare myself mentally! In this severe pain, Lin Yan used the quintessence of Chinese culture to greet the doctor's family in his heart.

After a simple disinfection, the doctor applied medicine and bandaged the wound in one go. Lin Yan judged from his skillful technique that he must have treated many patients of this type before.

"Okay! The total cost of treatment plus cleaning is 2 dollars and 5 cents." The doctor stretched out his hand and made a gesture to ask for money. Lin Yan didn't know what the prices were like here, but compared the cost of a bottle of beer with the cost of treatment, he felt that the doctor's price was a bit expensive.

Javier did not refute, but obediently took out a handful of change from his pocket, counted out 2 dollars and 5 cents, and handed it to the doctor. "Let's go and see how Arthur is doing." Javier said to Lin Yan, who had put on his bloody shirt again.

Lin Yan nodded and followed the other person out.

At the door of the tavern, Bill and Charles, who had gone out to arrest someone, had returned, with a man in a brown vest and black breeches tied to their feet.

"Hey! It seems that Arthur's savior is fine!" Bill said loudly when he saw Lin Yan walking towards him behind Javier.

Lin Yan ignored what Bill said at this time. All his attention was on the man next to Bill, who had a scar on the right side of his face, wore a khaki windbreaker, and wore a hexagonal police badge on his chest. This man should be the sheriff of the town. If there was a shooting in the town, then the sheriff of the town should handle it.

The man with the police badge spoke up after seeing everyone present: "Well, now that everyone involved is here, we should discuss how to deal with this criminal."

"Mr. Sheriff, five years ago, I personally arrested this wanted criminal, Mr. Mike Michelson, and put him in jail. After he managed to escape from the jail, he was staying in this small town, Valentine, and found that the man fighting downstairs was the one who sent him to jail five years ago, so he held a grudge against me. When he saw me win the fight, he suddenly shot me from upstairs, intending to kill me. But fortunately, there is this gentleman." Arthur said, pointing to Lin Yan standing aside, with an inquiring look. At this time, there was no blood or mud on his face, and it seemed that he had just found a place to wash his face.

"Jamie Custer." Lin Yan gave the name of his body.

"Fortunately, there is Mr. Jamie Custer. He accidentally saw Mike Michelson shooting me, so he knocked me down in advance, allowing me to luckily avoid the shooting." Arthur said in an affirmative tone.

"Yes, this is the most reasonable explanation I think." The sheriff looked at Arthur and continued, "The police station received the telegram about Mike Michelson's escape from prison a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to appear under my jurisdiction. Thanks to you brave gentlemen for arresting him. Next, please help me bring him to the police station, and I will pay you his reward.

Everyone looked at Arthur and Lin Yan, who was standing at the end. Finally, Javier spoke up, "Well, Arthur, you and this brother Jamie should go. You should get the bounty."

Arthur glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone nodded at him. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, my brother Jamie and I will accompany the sheriff."

"Okay, follow me. I'll ask you to carry the prisoner over." After giving the order, the sheriff took the lead and walked towards the police station in Valentine.

"Mr. Arthur, this man..." When Lin Yan heard that he had a share of the bounty, he wondered if he should do his part.

"Oh, you are injured, just leave him to me. And I am not Mr. Arthur, my name is Arthur Morgan." After Arthur said that, he lifted up Mike Mickelson who was almost tied up like a dumpling and carried him on his shoulders.

"Guys, you guys go back first. I'll go back to the camp with Brother Jamie after collecting the ransom." Arthur said to the other three people, and then followed the sheriff to the police station. Lin Yan waved politely to everyone, and followed Arthur to the police station.

Arriving at the police station, the sheriff opened a cell in a room and said to Arthur, who was carrying the prisoner, "Put the man inside first. I will send a telegram to the headquarters in a while. I think someone will come to escort him away tomorrow."

Arthur did as he was told, and the sheriff took out a stack of wanted posters from the drawer. After finding the one for Mike Mickelson, he took it out and handed it to Arthur, saying, "Take a look. The wanted amount for Mike Mickelson is $80, right?"

Arthur took the wanted poster, glanced at the photo, name and reward amount, then handed it back to the sheriff and said, "That's right, Mr. Sheriff."

"Okay, then..." Lin Yan saw the sheriff take off the keychain from his waist, find a key to open a smaller drawer next to him, and then took out four rolls of bills and handed them to Arthur. "One roll is 20 dollars, there are four rolls here, you can order some."

Arthur took the four rolls of banknotes and stuffed them directly into his pocket, saying happily: "Mr. Sheriff represents the government, and I believe in the credibility of the government. Then we will take our leave now." After that, he took off his hat, bowed to the sheriff in a formal manner, and then called Lin Yan to leave the police station.

Back on the muddy street outside, Arthur stopped first, then turned around and said to Lin Yan who was following behind him: "Mr. Custer, thank you for saving my life at the dangerous moment just now, and you were injured because of it. I know this is a valuable quality that cannot be measured by money, but please accept my small gift of gratitude." After saying that, he took out the four rolls of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Lin Yan. "Here is the 80 dollars that the sheriff gave me just now. To express my gratitude and compensate for your loss, all this money is now yours."

"Mr. Arthur, oh, I mean Mr. Morgan, actually I have a request." Lin Yan did not take the money handed over to him, but wanted to use his act of saving people to make Arthur agree to let him join their Van der Linde Gang.

"Request?" Arthur saw that Lin Yan did not take the money, so he retracted his hand and put the money back into his pocket. "Tell me, what can I do for you?"

"Actually, it's like this..." Lin Yan made up a miserable story about Jamie Custer, and then said that he had no choice but to join the circus, and now he was about to be kicked out by the leader because of his mistakes. Then he said that he saw that Mr. Morgan should be a gang member, and finally he told his purpose: Can he get him to join their gang?

"So that's how it is." Arthur fell into deep thought after listening to Lin Yan's self-narration. After a brief thought, he said to Lin Yan: "In theory, we would not refuse outsiders to join. But because we have just arrived at this place and have not yet established a firm foothold, rashly letting others join at this time may bring danger to the gang. Don't get me wrong, I'm not referring to you. I mean that others may find us through you. How about this, I will introduce you to our leader later and let him make the decision. Of course, I will say good things for you, and I believe Javier and the others will also say good things for you."

Phew, at least you didn't reject me directly. It looks like there's a way. Lin Yan thought thankfully.

Then he changed his expression to one of expectation and said to Arthur: "Thank you, thank you Mr. Morgan."

Arthur laughed dumbly and said, "I didn't do anything. Instead, I should thank you for saving my life without asking for anything in return."

Reward? Lin Yan immediately remembered that he seemed to still owed money to the circus owner. Oh, and the wine he asked me to buy! Thinking of this, Lin Yan said to Arthur awkwardly: "Mr. Morgan, my boss said that he would let me go only after I made enough money for him. You see..."

Arthur immediately understood and said, "Oh! Okay! No problem! I'll go with you!"

The two chatted and walked to the circus which had been loaded. Lin Yan trotted to the manager. Before Lin Yan could speak, the manager in a suit called out: "Jamie! Did you go to plant wheat? I asked you to go to the pub to buy a bottle of wine and you spent a full hour there!" Then he looked Lin Yan up and down and continued: "Where is the wine you bought for me? I tell you, based on your performance today, you will never leave here in your life!"

Lin Yan didn't care, and watched the boss yelling like he was watching a play. When he said he was tired, Lin Yan asked, "Boss, how much money do I need to make for you before you let me leave?"

The boss was stunned, then said without hesitation: "At least 10 dollars. No, it has to be 15 dollars! Your behavior today makes me very angry. I have to ask the doctor to check if there is anything wrong with my heart."

"Okay, wait a minute." Lin Yan shrugged his shoulders and didn't care about the extra $5, but accidentally pulled the wound, which made him grimace in pain. Returning to Arthur, Lin Yan embarrassedly asked him to borrow $20. Arthur didn't take it seriously and took out a roll of bills from his pocket and handed it to him.

After saying thank you, Lin Yan ran back to the manager again. This time, before he could say anything unpleasant, Lin Yan handed over the roll of bills to stop him from speaking. "Here, here's $20."

"What? Jamie, where did you get so much money? Did you just rob a bank?" The manager took the money and unfolded them one by one to check whether the bills were genuine.

I said I caught a wanted criminal, do you believe me? Lin Yan said silently in his heart. "Now, can I leave?" He saw that the manager had verified the authenticity of the banknotes and asked.

"Let's go! I am kind-hearted." After saying that, he looked at the hand that Lin Yan extended and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lin Yan said speechlessly: "Give me the change. Didn't you say 15 dollars? You have to give me another 5 dollars."

"What? Which ear of yours heard me say fifteen dollars? I said twenty! Twenty dollars! Now, get out of my sight before I lose my temper. If you keep pestering me, you'll spend the rest of your life in a cage like those animals."

Lin Yan looked speechlessly at his former boss, who was dressed in a neat suit and looked like a decent person, but was actually a complete villain. Unable to bear it any longer, he kicked the man to the ground, and when he didn't react, he sat on him, raised his right hand and slapped him four times, and then took back the money given to him amid the man's wailing.

"I was originally going to give you the money, but seeing your attitude, I think beating you up is too light a punishment, ugh!"

The manager's wailing alarmed the other people in the circus, and also alarmed Arthur who was waiting on the side of the road.

When the manager saw the circus people surrounding him, he shouted at them, "Hold this kid down! I'm going to throw him into the lion cage and feed him to the lions today!"

Just as everyone was trying to pull Lin Yan up from the circus manager, Arthur's leisurely voice came from behind the crowd: "Mr. Custer, it seems you are in a little trouble, do you need help?"
