Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 37 News about Sean

After returning to the camp, Lin Yan saw that Sadie had for the first time gathered together the girls who had been nice to her before, and then took out the new clothes she had bought specifically to thank them.

Marybeth saw Sadie take out several pieces of clothing from the saddle bag and give them to them. She couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! They are new clothes! Tilly, Karen, it's been a long time since we wore new clothes. I'm tired of wearing the clothes I have over and over again."

Karen rolled her eyes at Marybeth and said, "At least you can change your clothes, but Tilly and I are in a terrible situation. We left in a hurry and left most of our clothes in Blackwater Town. I was even worse off. I didn't even have a decent coat. I had to wear the coat of the dead David."

"Are these all for us?" Tilly asked Sadie.

"Yes, they're all yours." Sadie said generously.

When the three girls were all immersed in the joy of receiving new clothes, Lin Yan quietly pulled Sadie over and asked, "Isn't it a bit bad if we only buy gifts for some people?"

Sadie said as if it was a matter of course: "What's wrong with that? When I first came here, only these three people tried to comfort me. Others ignored me. Why should I care about others?"

"Uh..." Lin Yan was stunned by the question. He had only been in this world for a few days, and he was still looking at this matter from the perspective of the Chinese. He did not expect that the ideas of foreigners were quite different from his own.

Others in the camp saw the women gathered at the camp entrance, chattering non-stop. They just looked at them curiously and then chose to ignore them. Only Aunt Susan, who managed the camp, couldn't stand it and scolded them loudly: "What are you stupid women yelling about? Have you done your work? And Sadie, if you have money to spend, donate more to the camp. A few rags of clothes can't bring warmth to your family."

After hearing Aunt Susan's scolding, the three girls thanked Sadie, put away their new clothes, put the things back into their own little pieces of land, and then plunged into their endless work.

Sadie cursed inwardly, "Who is in charge of this place? You old witch are really meddling in other people's affairs."

After saying that, she walked straight to the donation box at the camp, put her contribution into the box in front of Aunt Susan, and then wrote her name and the amount of the donation in a notebook nearby.

Lin Yan didn't want people in the camp to talk about him, so after Sadie finished writing, he followed suit and walked to the donation box. Without even thinking, he took out $50 from his space bag and put it into the donation box, then signed his name on the notebook.

Seeing Lin Yan taking out a few $10 bills from his bag and putting them into the donation box, Aunt Susan kindly reminded him, "Son, don't put so much money in at once next time. There are a few idle people in the camp who have been eyeing the box."

Before Lin Yan could express his opinion, the uncle who was drinking alone by the carriage shouted in dissatisfaction: "Susan, who did you say stole the money? Don't talk nonsense without evidence."

Aunt Susan sneered and said, "I didn't say it was you, old man. Are you confessing yourself?"

The uncle muttered something in a low voice, turned his body to the side, and ignored Aunt Susan's ridicule.

Seeing this, Lin Yan resisted the urge to say something. He just responded to Aunt Susan with a few words and then returned to his bed to check today's harvest.

He didn't find much money from the fake drug dealer today, only a few dollars, it seems that selling fake drugs can't make him rich. Not only that, the risk of this profession is also quite high. If you meet a client who is willing to pay a high price, then if you are caught, you will be hanged in public.

As for the "Black Widow" who killed people in front of him, apart from some daily necessities in her residence, he did not find a penny from her. However, before leaving, Sadie stuffed a silver pocket watch into his hand, saying that it was found on the body of the man who was killed. As a new socialist youth, Lin Yan certainly did not mind those so-called monsters and demons, so he stuffed the pocket watch into his coat pocket.

Then there was the bounty offered by Sheriff Malloy, which was only $75 for the two of them. It was unknown which of the Black Widow's husbands was the relative of the person who offered the bounty, and the pitiful bounty showed that they were not well off. If it were a professional bounty hunter, seeing that the risk was totally disproportionate to the bounty, it would be strange for him to take it. He was just bored and wanted to practice his skills and watch a free movie.

Finally, in order to thank Sadie, Lin Yan took the initiative to ask to pay for the clothes.

What he didn't expect was that Sadie was so rude as to use her own money to buy gifts for others.

After hearing the final offer from the clothing store owner, Lin Yan not only took out all the money he earned today, but also put in a few extra dollars to pay off the bill.

After paying, Lin Yan, feeling cheated, opened the partner menu indignantly. However, when he saw that Sadie's favorability had increased by 1 point to 83, he felt that a few dozen dollars for a little favorability was not such a bad deal, so his mood instantly improved.

In the evening, Arthur had not returned yet, but Javier, who had been out for several days to inquire about the news of Sean, a member of the gang who was captured near Blackwater Town, came back. With him came Josiah Trelawney, who had walked with Dutch in Valentine that day.

After the two arrived at the camp, they talked to Dutch for a few words. After listening, Dutch nodded seriously.

"Arthur? Arthur?" Dutch shouted several times into the camp.

Lin Yan looked at Arthur and the bed that had not changed in the morning, and responded: "Arthur went out early this morning, and he should not be back yet."

"Damn it! Why does it have to be at this time?" Dutch cursed in a low voice, and then shouted to the people in the camp: "How many gunmen are there in the camp now? There is an urgent mission, we must set off immediately!"

When Dutch's call was heard, only a few people responded, including Lin Yan, Sadie, and Bill who was on guard in the woods.

"Seeing that only two newcomers and Bill responded, Dutch held his forehead and said helplessly, "Then the three of you, you, Javier and Josiah, will go to the north of Blackwater Town overnight to find Charles who is monitoring there. Josiah has received news that Sean will soon be transferred to the federal prison west of Blackwater Town by a group of bounty hunters. You and Charles will find a way to rescue Sean on the way."

Hearing that they were going to rescue Sean who was captured by Pinkerton detectives, Karen, who was washing clothes, stood up and recommended herself to Dutch: "Dutch, I want to go too."

Dutch glanced at Karen, then shook his head and said, "You can't go."

Before Dutch could explain, the outspoken Bill said, "Don't worry, Karen. We will bring your lover back in one piece."

Dutch stopped Karen who was about to mount her horse and go with Lin Yan and the others, and consoled her: "Karen, do you think your outfit is suitable for fighting? If you go, you will only cause trouble for everyone. They will rescue Sean safely, so you should stay and guard the camp."

"Yes, Karen, I promise you." Sadie also comforted Karen after riding the horse.

Karen finally nodded and gave up the idea of ​​saving Sean.

So Lin Yan and Sadie, who had just returned to the camp, followed the other three and set out on a journey to Blackwater Town to rescue Sean while it was still day.

The long journey made the few people who didn't have dinner exhausted. Lin Yan, Shadi, Bill and the other two were fine, as they were only on a one-way trip. Javier and Josiah's situation was not very optimistic, not only for the two of them, but also for the horses under their crotches.

Javier, who led the way, stopped at a suitable place to camp in the night. "Let's eat something and rest first, and let our horses rest. They won't escort Sean at night. We can just meet up with Charles tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he got off the horse first, then called Bill, and the two of them went to the nearby woods to collect some branches for lighting the fire. Lin Yan, who had just learned to ride a horse and had never ridden such a long distance, was also exhausted this time. He jumped off the horse and began to stretch his aching body. Behind him, Sadie also got off the horse and relaxed herself.

"Dutch actually let you two strangers who I have rarely seen participate in the operation. It seems that you are also good at it?" Josiah walked over and chatted with the two of them.

Lin Yan looked at the guy Arthur called a liar. "Maybe it's because there are not many people in the camp. Didn't Dutch say that he can't appear near Blackwater Town?"

"Yes, there are wanted posters for him and Hosea all over the area. To be honest, we came back to ask Arthur to go with us. Do you know where he went?"

Lin Yan shook his head. "Arthur went out early this morning, and no one knows where he went. But..." As he spoke, Lin Yan suddenly remembered something.

"But I heard from Marybeth yesterday that someone sent a letter to Arthur. I wonder if it has anything to do with this letter."

"A letter?" Josiah pondered for a moment and said, "Based on my understanding of Arthur, no one would write to him except his ex-girlfriend Mary."

"Ex-girlfriend? Are you saying Arthur has an ex-girlfriend?" Lin Yan asked curiously when he heard the news for the first time.

"Yes, that should be the only woman Arthur has ever loved."

"Then why..."

"Oh, I guess you want to know why Mary left Arthur."

Lin Yan nodded.

"Strictly speaking, it wasn't Mary who wanted to break up with Arthur. It was Mary's father who didn't agree with Mary and Arthur being together."

Hearing this result, Lin Yan fell silent. He couldn't say that the other party was wrong in this matter. Any father probably wouldn't want his daughter to live with a gang member who lived a life of uncertainty.

"Then why didn't Arthur leave the gang for Mary?" Sadie asked a question after listening for a long time.

"Maybe Arthur couldn't bear to give up the gang. Of course, other people in the gang also advised Arthur not to give up the gang for a woman. As for what Arthur himself thinks, I don't know."

The conversation ended there. A while later, Javier and Bill each returned with a pile of firewood.

After several people worked together to light the bonfire, they sat around the bonfire and ate a can of food that was not too cold. Lin Yan saw that their horses had not eaten yet. Thinking of the big bag of oats he bought at the grocery store that morning, he stood up and walked to the hardest-working horses of Javier and Josiah, then grabbed a few handfuls of oats from his space bag and threw them in front of them. He did not neglect the remaining three horses, but the amount was a little less than the first two horses.

After dinner, everyone rested for about two hours, mainly for Javier and Josiah to rest a little. Then they rushed to the meeting place they had agreed with Charles in the moonlight.

At midnight, the system in Lin Yan's mind started up again while he was still moving forward. The sudden sound of the system was particularly pleasant to Lin Yan's ears, who was tired of the monotonous sound of horse hooves.

[Starting to check the player's progress... Checking completed. Achievement obtained: Junior Bounty Hunter. Congratulations to the player for completing an achievement and obtaining 1 free attribute point. ]

[The player has survived in the game for 7 days, and will be awarded 1 free attribute point. ]

After the system finished broadcasting these two messages, it fell silent again. Lin Yan quietly took out the pocket watch from his pocket, opened the cover and took a look in the moonlight, and found that the time was exactly midnight.

Lin Yan muttered to himself: It seems that unless a new mode is activated, the system will only appear at the end of each day and count my game progress for that day.

After obtaining 2 free attribute points again, Lin Yan chose to keep them as usual and add more when needed in the future.

Nearly an hour later, these people, led by Javier, arrived at the meeting place agreed with Charles. Charles, who was sleeping here, heard the noise and woke up alertly. He quickly hid behind a tree nearby, trying to observe who was coming.

"Charles, it's us." Javier dismounted not far from the temporary tent built by Charles and shouted softly.

Charles recognized Javier's voice and came out from behind the tree where he was hiding. "I thought you guys wouldn't arrive until daybreak."

"It was me who suggested that we rest after we get here. Phew! This trip has exhausted Josiah and me. Let's sleep here for a while, and you can call us if anything happens in the morning." After Javier finished speaking, he walked to Charles' tent and lay down on the grass. After a while, he began to snore.

When Bill saw Javier lying down, he also lay down on the ground to rest.

Josiah was not as unrefined as these two men. Although he was also exhausted, he still managed to take down the blanket from behind his horse, spread it on the ground a little further away from the two men, and then lay down on it with his clothes on.

Lin Yan gave Sadie a somewhat weak smile: "Fortunately, we also bought blankets in the stable this morning, otherwise we would have to sleep on the floor like those two people."

"Did you expect this?" Sadie asked as she took off the blanket.

"Please, I'm not a prophet, how can I predict what will happen next..."

Lin Yan and Sadie also did not choose to sleep with Bill and Javier, they chose to sleep farther away, not for anything else, but mainly because Bill's snoring was too loud.

This sleep was the worst and most uncomfortable sleep Lin Yan had ever had since he came to this world, but the fatigue from the long journey made him unable to care about so much. Not long after he lay down, he fell into a deep sleep.
