Wilderness Redemption Tour

Since Lin Yan came to this world, he had never admired this world from such a high place. Taking this opportunity, he opened the system map and compared the scenery he saw with the map one by one.

The factory buildings with black smoke coming out of chimneys in the northeast are the Cornwall coal tar factories. The oil tanker carriage was robbed nearby the day before yesterday.

From the map, Valentine is located just west of the Cornwall Coal Tar Factory, but because Lin Yan's position is somewhat special, the entire Valentine is completely blocked by one of the Double Mountains and Fortress Mountain further north, so that he cannot observe it at all from the top of this mountain.

The Emerald Ranch to the west was in full view, but one could only vaguely see the outlines of some houses and sheep and cattle pens.

Apart from that, the only building Lin Yan could see was the Pingbozi Station, which he had just visited yesterday, located in the southwest of the Heart of the Earth. From the map, the station was about the same distance from him as the Emerald Ranch, but because the entire station had only one building, it looked a little small.

After walking around the top of the mountain and looking around, Lin Yan suddenly felt touched. It must be said that the United States at this time is really desolate. In a semi-mountainous and semi-hilly area like New Hanover, with such high-quality land resources as the Heart of the Earth, the locals actually only selected the best area to use, and let the rest be abandoned. If it were the Great Qing Empire of the same period, if there was such a piece of land, according to the current season, I am afraid that the seeds of crops planted would have taken root and sprouted.

Sadie had no interest in the scenery around her, but when she heard the noise coming from above her head, she looked up at the sky with great interest.

In the blue sky, two red-tailed hawks were circling over the top of the mountain, searching for prey below. One of them seemed to have discovered something, and swooped down to the middle of the mountain. When it rose again, it had a dead black-tailed rabbit in its claws.

Seeing its companion had made a catch, the other one was not to be outdone. After circling a few more times, it also caught its own prey in the grass below in the same posture.

"Guys, it's almost time to get to work." John, who had been observing the movements of the herdsmen, stood up and aimed his gun downwards.

"it is good."

"understood."

Lin Yan and Sadie responded and walked towards their respective horses one after the other.

"boom!"

Before either of them even mounted their horses, John had already fired.

"Wow, there's a guy on horseback who's pretty brave. He didn't even react to the gunshot." John pulled the bolt, ejected the shell, and put a new bullet in. "Are you not afraid? Then try this!"

"boom!"

"Ha! That's right!" exclaimed John.

Lin Yan, who was already on horseback, witnessed the last guard being scared away by the gunshot. After seeing everyone abandon the flock and flee in all directions, he tightened the reins, tapped the horse's belly with the spurs on the back of his boots, and experienced "alpine rappelling."

John's gunshot just now only caused a few sheep on the outermost edge of the flock to leave the team. These frightened sheep did not run aimlessly like wild animals, but gathered into small groups of three or two not far away.

Lin Yan didn't know much about grazing, driving, and the habits of these animals, but he didn't ask Sadie for advice. Instead, he selected a few sheep that were farthest from the flock. While running towards them, he "cleverly" observed how Sadie did it.

In fact, there is no trick to driving away these stray sheep. You just need to go around to one side of them, make the flock, the sheep and yourself in a straight line, and then "scare" them back to the main group in the opposite direction.

The shouting during the expulsion was not as fixed as Lin Yan thought, and this aspect mainly highlighted the freedom of expression. Not only could common words such as "go", "go fast", and "go back" be used, but even some meaningless pronunciations could be used.

Lin Yan followed suit and drove back all the sheep that had strayed from the flock. Only then did John slowly come down the mountain.

"Well done!" He praised from a distance, and then pointed in the direction of the carriage: "You drive these sheep slowly towards Valentine first, I will harness the carriage and come to find you."

Before joining the Van der Linde gang, Sadie's family had a small farm, and these tasks seemed as simple to her as drinking water. After just two quick drives, she recognized which sheep was the leader.

"I'll be in charge of herding the sheep from behind. If there are any sheep that stray from the group, you go over and correct them." At this moment, Sadie's voice suddenly choked up. This familiar scene reminded her of her husband. She still clearly remembered that she and Yake herded the sheep in this way last year, except that she was the one in charge of correcting them.

Thinking of her husband again, Sadie no longer felt the despair and powerlessness she had felt when she first lost him, because she had killed the man who brought her despair with her own hands a few days ago, and she used the most cruel method she could think of.

Seeing the other person's face twisted in pain, listening to the other person's desperate screams and pleas, she felt extremely relieved at that time, and the huge rock that had been weighing on her heart since Jack's death also shattered. She found that these evil people in her eyes were just like that, they would also get hurt, suffer, and pretend to be pitiful people and beg for mercy. No matter how evil they were, they were just people, and a bullet could easily send them to hell.

From then on, she no longer showed herself as a weak person, but forced herself to become strong. In her mind, only by fighting violence with violence can she achieve her own justice.

Although Lin Yan could tell that Sadie's voice was a little different from usual, he didn't have time to think about it, because just as they set out on the road, a sheep strayed from the group.

Along the way, Lin Yan went left and right, and he didn't know whether the system was deliberately making things difficult for him, or whether the sheep were just like that. After walking for a while, a few "smart" sheep would deviate from the route. If he didn't drive them back to the team in time, they would fall behind completely and it would take even more effort for them to catch up with the main group. At this time, Sadie had to stop and wait for him for a while.

After becoming completely familiar with the process, Lin Yan frowned. He felt that his current job seemed a bit similar to that of some kind of animal.

It was not until halfway through the journey that John appeared behind them, driving slowly.

"Take them directly to the auction venue. There are people there who are responsible for receiving them. The auction venue is next to the station."
