Wilderness Redemption Tour

Anyway, the night finally passed peacefully, but everyone seemed to be in a bad mood.

Most people chose to stay in the camp today. Firstly, the appearance of Pinkerton detectives has increased the difficulty of the mission; secondly, the camp also needs a lot of manpower to protect it.

After breakfast, Lin Yan took a special look at the camp’s account book.

After more than ten days of "unremitting efforts" by everyone in the camp, especially after Arthur handed over half of the proceeds from robbing the train, the camp's public funds now amount to more than 2,600 US dollars. Even if everyone does nothing during this period, there will be no problem in lasting a month or two.

After closing the account book, just when Lin Yan was considering whether to go out today, Arthur came to him.

"Jamie, what are your plans for today?"

Lin Yan shook his head at the right time and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. What? Is there something wrong?"

Arthur pointed to the dining car and said, "Pearson just told me that we don't have enough food. Flour, vegetables, meat, spices, all of these need to be replenished. Oh, yes, he also emphasized salt, a lot of salt."

"I want you and John to go on a shopping trip."

"No problem, but...why are it the two of us?" Lin Yan was a little confused about the personnel arrangements this time.

"It's simple, because you are a newcomer, you haven't committed any crime, and you don't have a wanted warrant from the government. As for John..." At this point, Arthur scratched his cheek and said with a smile: "Just based on his current 'handsome' face, people who are not familiar with him may not be able to recognize him even if they walk up to him with his wanted warrant."

After hearing Arthur's teasing explanation, Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh.

When he first saw John, even he was shocked by the hideous scar on his face. Even so, he was still called handsome by Arthur. It seems that John was not disfigured, no, before the plastic surgery, his image was probably not as good as it is now.

From this point of view, Abigail's aesthetic taste doesn't seem to be that good...

Lin Yan secretly joked in his heart, and nodded happily: "Okay, what do you want to buy and how much do you want to buy? You'd better make a list for me."

"Pearson, make a list of what you need to buy!" Arthur turned around and shouted directly at Pearson.

Then, Arthur turned around, opened the cash box and counted out 200 dollars and handed it to Lin Yan. "This money should be enough. I have already talked to John. I will go and prepare the carriage now. When Pearson has made a list, you can set off." After recording the account, he went directly to the carriage at the entrance.

Before Arthur turned around and walked far, Sadie's voice came from behind Lin Yan.

"I heard everything you said just now. Why don't you plan to take me with you?"

Lin Yan turned around and saw Sadie leaning against the carriage beside him, looking at him with a "kind" face.

Even though he was bathed in the sun, Lin Yan still shuddered. He had seen the way Sadie treated her enemies, and when he saw the look in her eyes, he quickly imagined how she would use those same methods on him.

The next moment, he licked his lips with a pale face, showing a flattering smile, and tried to explain: "No, I was just planning to find you and ask if you want to go..."

"Really?" Sadie glanced at him.

"Yes...Yes! Although Arthur didn't mention you, I thought you were a newcomer who had just joined, so you shouldn't be wanted." Lin Yan said more confidently. "I remember you said at breakfast that you were going out for a walk later, and I was just about to ask you if you wanted to go."

The evil look in Sadie's eyes slowly faded, replaced by a hint of suspicion. She squinted her eyes and looked up and down at the young man in front of her, whose forehead was already sweating, and stood up and walked towards Arthur who was harnessing the car at the entrance.

When she passed by Lin Yan, she said in a gentle tone: "From now on, no matter where you go, just call me. No matter when, it's never a bad thing to have more people around you."

"Oh..." Lin Yan was a little at a loss for what to do with Sadie's attitude. This otaku who had been single for more than 20 years and had never even held a girl's hand suddenly had an idea in his mind: Could she like me?

The next moment, he rejected the idea.

What are you thinking? She just lost her husband not long ago. Besides, she also said with her own mouth that she loved her husband very much. How could she fall in love with someone else so quickly?

Besides, how could someone be interested in me with a charm value of only 2? 20 is more like it...

But then again, I'm the protagonist of the game now, so this is not impossible...

From other people's perspectives, Jamie stood beside the cash box in the camp in a daze with flickering eyes, as if he was struggling with himself over whether or not to steal the money.

At this moment, the drunk uncle who had just woken up came to Lin Yan with a bottle of wine in his hand and taught him with drunken eyes: "Kid, don't think too much when stealing money. Take the money while others are not paying attention and leave quickly. I see you hesitated here for a minute. This is not okay. Let me teach you what you should do."

As soon as he finished speaking, the uncle's left hand, which was not holding the bottle, quickly opened the cash box and skillfully took out two bills from it. Then he closed the lid of the cash box and stuffed the bills into his pocket. The whole process was done in one go. If you only look at the movements of his hands, you can't tell that he is a drunk person.

Lin Yan watched the whole process in amazement. When he heard the uncle asking him about his skills, he just wanted to sigh: There are bad people among the crowd!

On the other hand, when Arthur learned that Sadie was going to go with them, he just casually reminded her "Don't cause trouble" and did not stop Sadie from going.

After getting Pearson's shopping list, Lin Yan, Sadie and John set off at his urging.

Lin Yan and Sadie rode horses, while John drove the carriage. As soon as they walked out of the woods outside the camp, John turned to the two people following the carriage and said, "I have an idea that will allow us to save money on meat and make some money. What do you think?"

Lin Yan refused without even thinking: "Didn't Arthur just tell us not to cause trouble? I think it's better not to cause trouble at this time."

"Don't refuse so bluntly." John explained: "We only need to go to a place and fire two shots to scare people away. There is no risk at all. The most important point is: we basically don't need to take a detour."

"But Arthur..." Lin Yan was still trying to persuade John to give up this idea, and Sadie on the side spoke up: "Tell us your plan first, and then we can decide whether to go or not."

Seeing that there was someone to discuss, John stopped the carriage and pointed in the direction of Emerald Ranch and said, "Yesterday, Charles and I heard at Emerald Ranch that a rancher planned to have his workers drive sheep to Valentine for an auction today. It's in the suburbs, with no guards, only a few ranch workers. You know what I mean, as long as we fire a few shots in their direction from a distance, these people will scatter and flee, and we can take the opportunity to replace them. In this way, not only will we have the meat that Pearson needs, but we can also send the rest to the auction."
