Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 59 The Cost of the Mission

Sadie glared at him in dissatisfaction. "Although they are a bit of a jerk, they are just ordinary people after all. Am I an unforgivable murderer in your eyes?"

Lin Yan thought about it seriously. In his memory, Sadie seemed to become particularly aggressive only when she met the O'Driscoll Gang. Apart from being a little careless in character, she really had never done anything extreme.

"Uh... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Lin Yan frankly admitted his mistake.

"But how did you come out so quickly?" he asked again in confusion.

Speaking of this, Sadie smiled and said, "You don't know how bad those two guys are. They are just newbies and they love to play."

"I came up and tested them first, and found that no matter how bad the cards in their hands were, they would follow. After winning the first hand, I saw that I had two pairs in my hand in the second hand, so I just went all in."

At this point, Sadie burst out laughing. "They saw me going all in, and instead of folding, they joined in. What cards do you think they had in their hands?"

Without waiting for Lin Yan to speak, she asked and answered herself: "One of them only has a pair in his hand, and the other one doesn't even have a pair, and even the biggest single card is just a Q. With these cards, he actually has the courage to go all in, hahahaha..."

Lin Yan was not familiar with the rules of foreign card games, and he did not understand the meaning of some professional terms. Seeing Sadie laughing, he also smiled awkwardly.

Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long, and Pastor Swanson, who was lying on the horse, rescued him in time.

Although Lin Yan just let the horse walk at a normal pace, the pastor, who had no idea how much he had drunk, still vomited due to the constant bumps and friction.

"Hmm..."

The scene where the priest was lying on the horse's back and vomiting violently looked, from a distance, as if there was an extra-large faucet installed on the horse's back.

Lin Yan had never seen anyone vomit so smoothly. More than ten seconds had passed since he heard the sound, but the "water flow" from the "faucet" showed no signs of stopping and was still gushing out freely.

Fortunately, the horse was not frightened, otherwise I don’t know how shocking the scene would be... Lin Yan thought unconsciously.

Sadie also recovered from her initial shock and exclaimed with a little admiration: "Is this the power of faith?"

After about ten seconds, the pastor finally stopped vomiting, and his neck, which had instinctively straightened up just now, drooped again.

Looking at the messy hind legs of the mount under his crotch, Lin Yan patted its head sympathetically, and leaned over to whisper in its ear: "I'm sorry, buddy, I'll take you to the river to wash after I send the people back."

The horse seemed to understand Lin Yan's words. It shook its head docilely and snorted in response.

Flat Neck Station was not far from the Horseshoe Lookout, and after being caught up by Sadie, they walked for another ten minutes and finally returned to the camp.

Molly, who had never spoken to Lin Yan, was walking near the entrance of the camp. She saw the priest on horseback and smelled a strong smell of alcohol. She subconsciously fanned her folding fan. "Grimshaw was talking about him in the camp just now. I was wondering when he would show up."

"I found him at the Flat Neck Station in the south. He was playing cards and drinking with others there." Lin Yan said as he dismounted and carried the pastor on his shoulders.

"Poor guy, may God bless him." Molly sighed.

Just after putting the pastor on his bed, Lin Yan saw Aunt Susan walking towards him with a cup of water.

"Well done. Where did you find him?" she asked with her usual serious and stern expression.

Putting the priest down, Lin Yan saw that the task in the system task list had been completed, and replied happily: "It's at Pingbozi Station in the south."

Aunt Susan roughly lifted the pastor's upper body, put the cup to his mouth, and forced him to drink a large cup of water. "I see your horse's legs are covered with vomit. He must have vomited a lot on the way."

Seeing this unique way of feeding water, Lin Yan's mouth twitched. "Yes... yes, he vomited for a full half minute."

After letting the pastor lie down again, Aunt Susan stood up and pointed to the Dakota River below. "Go clean it up down there. This guy will be up when we eat."

This time when Lin Yan went out, he did not call Sadie. In his opinion, it was just going to the river to wash the horse. It was neither a dangerous task nor looking for work. Always asking her to follow him would not cause her dissatisfaction.

At the hitching post, Jilan carried a bucket of water and placed it next to Lin Yan's gray horse, apparently preparing for a thorough cleaning.

Lin Yan walked over and patted his shoulder. "Jilan, no need, I'll take it to the river below to wash it, you can take a rest."

"That's fine. I'm also worried that it won't be clean enough."

After saying that, he reached out and handed the brush in his hand to Lin Yan. "Take this brush with you. Brushing it frequently can enhance the relationship between you two."

"Okay, thanks." Lin Yan took the brush, shook off the water droplets on it, and then stuffed it into his space bag.

"If you want to go to the river, go this way. There is a shortcut here. I usually go here to fetch water." After Lin Yan got on the horse, Jilan pointed out another shortcut to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan thanked him again, which made Jilan feel terrified and waved his hands repeatedly. Since he was captured by the Van der Linde Gang, no one had been as polite to him as Lin Yan was today.

Following the path pointed out by Kieran to the river, Lin Yan unexpectedly found Arthur and little Jack, who had disappeared in the morning, fishing not far upstream.

"I was wondering why he disappeared so early in the morning. Turns out he went fishing..."

"Hey, that's not right. I saw little Jack in the camp this morning. They shouldn't come out in the morning."

"Forget it. Even the protagonist has his own privacy. Why should I be curious about this? They fish for their own and I wash mine."

Putting aside his doubts, Lin Yan did not go to say hello, but found a relatively flat river beach, then removed the saddle and saddle bag, took off his boots, rolled up his trouser legs, led the horse to the shallow water area of ​​the river, and started to clean up carefully.

The horse legs stained with vomit were Lin Yan's main target for cleaning. Although he had never cleaned a horse before, he still knew one common sense, which was to never stand behind a hoofed animal.

After three times of watering and brushing, watering and brushing, the odor on the horse's legs completely disappeared. Then the other three legs, the horse's back, and the horse's head were cleaned. Thanks to Jilan's daily care for the horses, Lin Yan basically skipped the cleaning work in other places. Even so, he kept saying: It would be great if there was shower gel...

Just as he finished cleaning up and was about to go back, two men in gray windbreakers, bowler hats and the same badge on their chests came on horseback from downstream.
