Wilderness Redemption Tour
Chapter 42 Love and Family
After Arthur left the table, he was called over by Pastor Swanson. Pastor Swanson was the gang's pastor and doctor, but Lin Yan had rarely seen him sober in the camp, because he, like the uncle, always wandered around the camp with a bottle of wine. Although the uncle was lazy, his mind seemed to be clear all the time, but Pastor Swanson was different, always looking drunk.
Pastor Swanson seemed to be the most unhappy person in the camp tonight. He was still drunk and seemed to want to talk to Arthur, but was rejected by Arthur.
Josiah did not return to town tonight as he did before. Lin Yan saw that he seemed to have told a story just now and was surrounded by several ladies in the camp asking questions.
"How can love be stupid? It's the most important thing we have."
"But it sounds like a stupid story," Karen said skeptically. "A banished prince, a maid who's actually a princess, and a wicked stepmother. You just made it up."
"That's right. In my opinion, your story is even less credible than what the uncle told you," Aunt Susan also interrupted.
"Oh, Mrs. Grimshaw, the rose in the desert. You know what, dear? Some people say you're an old crow, but I say they're talking nonsense. I tell them you just keep one in your ear." Josiah said, putting his hand to Aunt Susan's ear, and then pretending to be surprised, a crow appeared from his hand.
There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd. The ladies were so attracted by the magic show that they did not ask any further questions about the story.
Aunt Susan seemed to be very afraid of this animal. After fanning the crow away twice, she left angrily.
After the uncle and Javier played and sang two songs together at the square table, Javier took his guitar and called Tilly to the other side. When the uncle saw that the accompaniment had left, he simply sang another song.
"I've been running around all my life, with the roar of drilling rigs in my ears. I once met a beautiful girl, and I whispered to her: Hey, do you want me to enter your secret garden?" When he sang this, he laughed twice in an obscene manner.
"She rolled up her clothes for fear of getting them dirty. I left Phoenix just to find good oil. After drilling more than ten centimeters, I stopped until oil poured out from under my drill bit. She looked up at me and smiled, saying: Great, you actually drilled out oil, keep working hard. I drilled and drilled for a week or ten days until my drill bit suddenly caught fire..."
By this point in the song, the uncle was already laughing so hard that he was out of breath and had to stop singing.
After seeing the uncle's performance today, Lin Yan realized that it was not that the foreign songs were not powerful enough, but that the uncle had not yet really put in his effort.
He actually wanted to stand next to the uncle and listen to whether he had other inventory that would open his eyes, but Sadie, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and forcibly pulled Lin Yan away from the uncle.
Music sounded in Dutch's tent. Dutch turned on his phonograph. After turning on the phonograph, Dutch and Molly started dancing in the open space. Sadie seemed to be in high spirits when she saw someone dancing.
She turned to Lin Yan and asked, "Do you want to go over and dance?"
Lin Yan shook his head. "Sorry, I can't dance."
"It's okay, I will teach you, let's give it a try." After saying this, Sadie took Lin Yan's hand and stood next to Dutch and Molly without waiting for Lin Yan's consent.
After being pulled over, Lin Yan was no longer restrained. He imitated Dutch and Molly next to him, holding his left hand with Sadie's right hand, and then put his right hand on Sadie's waist and gently shook with Sadie. Sadie wanted to change her movements halfway, but Lin Yan's stiff body was not in sync, so she gave up the idea of changing the dance steps and shook with Lin Yan for the duration of a song.
"Oh, Jamie, you need to learn more dance moves. I can actually see the shadow of my 80-year-old grandmother in your stiff body." Dutch on the side couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Ah? Am I so bad?" Lin Yan scratched his head and asked Sadie embarrassedly.
Sadie nodded, stifling a laugh and walked away.
Seeing Sadie trying hard to hold back her laughter, Lin Yan felt depressed. He sat down by the campfire with a bottle of whiskey in a depressed mood.
By the campfire, Pearson and Lenny were listening attentively to what the uncle was saying.
"We were sailing downstream when our boat suddenly caught fire. The other crew members became snacks for hippos and rhinos. I was the only one who survived and was taken to a village in the woods by the locals. The people in the village had never seen a white person before, but a witch doctor in the village had predicted that God would float from the river with skin as white as a cloud."
The uncle laughed twice and then went on: "So the people in the village worshipped me as a god, and I spent a few happy weeks there. Later, they tried to marry the chief's daughter to me. If I refused, they would dedicate me to another god. When I told them that I was a bachelor, they wanted to kill me and feed me to the pigs. Later, I found a way to escape and wandered in the jungle for a while, filling my stomach by eating giant cockroaches." After saying this, he made a vomiting sound.
"This is a true story, I swear."
Lin Yan drank more than half a bottle of whiskey while listening to the uncle's story. When the uncle finished his story, he stood up shakily and saw Sean, who was drunk, holding Karen's hand and walking to the back of a carriage.
Out of curiosity, he wanted to see what the two were going to do, so he followed them.
"Karen, admit that you love me. If you do, I won't bother you anymore."
"Let me go, Sean. I won't admit to anything."
"you love me!"
"Humph! I'd rather love a snake than you."
"come over......"
Lin Yan saw from a distance that Sean pulled Karen into his arms and kissed her. Karen did not push Sean away as she said, but instead responded to him emotionally.
After their lips parted, Karen whimpered and ran away.
Sean looked at Karen's back and murmured to himself: "She loves me... I am the happiest man in the world..." After that, he also chased in the direction Karen left.
Lin Yan, who was hiding and watching the show, saw Sean chasing Karen to the outside of a tent. Sean held Karen's hand and said, "I love you!"
Karen cried and said, "You only say you love me when we are drunk."
"Because you always seem superior, I don't think I'm worthy of you..."
Karen stared into Sean's eyes for a moment, then turned and tried to leave. "Come on... I hate you, you know, I hate you."
Sean was not willing to let Karen go like this. He stepped forward and grabbed Karen's arm. Karen did not resist and was half-pushed and half-pushed by Sean into the tent next door.
Lin Yan would know what happened next. He had been eavesdropping for a long time and felt that he might not be able to sleep tonight if he continued to listen, so he left decisively.
Back in the center of the camp, the music on the phonograph was still playing, and the dancers had changed to Arthur and Marybeth. Dutch and Molly were no longer dancing. The curtain of their tent was still open, and Lin Yan saw Molly lying on the bed, with Dutch sitting next to her and talking to her.
John and Bill sat at the table talking, while Sadie sat a little further away from them. Abigail, standing by the carriage, stood with her hands on her hips, looking helplessly at the drunk John.
Lin Yan walked over and heard Bill seemed to be talking to John about his other theory.
"I mean, it's like, well... it's like... I love drinking, but alcohol... doesn't love me."
John laughed knowingly. "Haha, I know what you want to say."
Hearing John laugh out loud, Bill couldn't help laughing too.
Abigail, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore. She walked up to John and looked at the man in front of her with pity.
"Poor creature! You are so pathetic!"
After saying this, Abigail walked towards where she slept in disappointment.
After she left, Lin Yan saw John lowering his head and making a sound that was unclear whether it was crying or laughing.
"Bill, he really hates me now." After saying this, John stood up and staggered away.
Lin Yan found that the relationships among the people in the camp were not as simple as he imagined. He sat next to Sadie and asked curiously, "What is John doing?"
Sadie shook her head. "I don't know the details. But I heard from Marybeth that Abigail was a... that kind of woman. When she joined the gang, she had relationships with many people. Later, she fell in love with John and cut off contact with the others. Not long after they got together, they had Jack, but John said that Jack didn't look like him. He suspected that Abigail was still having affairs outside after being with him, so he didn't care much about them. Because of this, Abigail and John often quarreled."
"So that's how it is. It seems every family has its own problems." After Lin Yan sighed, he took out his pocket watch to check the time.
"It's almost midnight. Go to bed early. We'll discuss what to do tomorrow morning."
Sadie nodded, drank the wine in the bottle in her hand, said good night to Lin Yan, and returned to her bed.
Lin Yan put down the empty bottle, walked to his bed, undressed and lay down. However, he did not fall asleep, but quietly waited for the arrival of midnight.
