Wilderness Redemption Tour

Under the gaze of Sadie's murderous eyes, the passerby in a gray windbreaker and a soft hat of the same color retreated.

After glaring at Lin Yan with dissatisfaction and muttering a few words under his breath, he mounted his horse and headed towards the Black Swamp.

Sadie put the pistol back into the holster in a cool manner. "Many times, bullets are more effective than reason. I suggest you try it next time."

Lin Yan chuckled and did not continue to discuss the topic. While walking towards the carriage, he changed the subject and asked, "What happened after we separated? Where did those Lemoyne raiders who were chasing you come from? They can walk freely in Saint Denis wearing these clothes? Don't the police care?"

"There are too many questions. Let's talk about them on the way."

After sitting in the carriage and the car started moving, Sadie told the story of what happened after Lin Yan left.

"As soon as I arrived in Saint Denis, I found that our 'prey' was being targeted again. In addition to the bounty hunters, there were also Lemoyne raiders. The two groups were wary of each other, so no one took action. It was also for this reason that I was able to successfully bring the person to the police station. After I came out, the group of bounty hunters actually blocked me at the door of the police station and said that the reward money would be split 91%."

"I think..." Lin Yan couldn't help but interrupted, "It's good to go along with them and send them away with 100. It's better than our current loss."

Sadie rolled her eyes at him, "You wish! They must want us to keep 100, and they will take the lion's share..."

Lin Yan thought to himself: "That's not necessarily true, what if they just want to get a good start..."

Although ordinary people would not think about it that way, if Lin Yan were present, he would definitely find out who took 1 and who took 9.

But he definitely didn't dare to tell Sadie this. With Sadie's hot temper, it's not impossible that she would kick him down and let him walk back to the camp.

Ignoring Lin Yan's wild thoughts, Sadie continued, "Seeing that I ignored them, these people didn't dare to cause trouble at the door of the police station. They just threatened me a few words and let me go. But they didn't want to let me go. Their plan was to sneak out of the city with me and then kill me."

"But why were the people following you just now all Lemoyne raiders?" Lin Yan couldn't help but speak again halfway through listening.

Seeing that she was interrupted again, Sadie bent her elbow and pushed Lin Yan.

"Don't interrupt! Let me finish first!"

"After I left the police station, the Lemoyne Raiders disappeared. After that, I rode my horse around the streets and alleys of Saint Denis for a long time before I got rid of the group of bounty hunters that followed me. But when I left the city, the group of Lemoyne Raiders that disappeared appeared out of nowhere, shouting that they wanted to avenge the commander. They followed me all the way. Your horse also ran away at that time."

This time Lin Yan learned his lesson. He waited for a while, and when he saw that Sadie didn't say anything, he took over and comforted her about the lost horse: "The horse is lost, so let's buy a new one together later. Maybe it'll be cheaper if we buy in bulk."

After understanding the whole story, Lin Yan asked the same question again: "So why can this group of gang members with uniform and obvious characteristics enter and leave Saint Denis freely? The police don't care? If they don't care, why do they offer a reward for their commander?"

This question obviously touched upon Sadie's blind spot in knowledge. She shook her head but still gave a guess.

"This is the South. Maybe in the eyes of the police, those veterans who still insist on resisting are not criminals, but heroes."

Sadie's answer opened up an idea for Lin Yan. Although his knowledge of history was average, he had been particularly interested in the American Civil War when he was in middle school. Therefore, he knew something about the general background and environment of this game.

After the Civil War, people in the southern states had different attitudes towards the new government. The lower classes, especially the freed black slaves, were naturally grateful and supportive of the new government. However, the upper classes, such as slave owners and plantation owners, who were the original ruling class, had their original rights and interests taken away, but their deep-rooted ideas were not so easy to change. In their hearts, they naturally did not recognize the leadership of the new government.

As the remaining Confederate armed forces, the Lemoyne Raiders represent the ridiculous rebellious spirit that has not yet been completely extinguished. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why some law enforcement officers in Lemoyne State turned a blind eye to the behavior of these people.

However, we cannot generalize on this issue. The upper-level law enforcement officials still hope that the Lemoyne Raiders will disappear, and issuing a bounty for their commander Lindsay Wofford is an attempt.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to the camp. At noon, Lin Yan and Sadie just ate something to fill their stomachs on the way. After two good meals, Lin Yan had no interest in canned food, soda crackers, and bacon. There were so many flavors of instant noodles that you would get tired of eating them every day, let alone these things.

I don’t know how Sadie felt, but Lin Yan was already starving to death.

The first thing Lin Yan did when he returned to the camp was to find Pastor Swanson, who was still conscious, and ask him to treat Sadie's injuries.

After diagnosis, it was found that Sadie's wrist was just a normal sprain and the bones were not seriously damaged. She could recover in less than a week by finding two wooden boards to fix it and applying some herbal medicine frequently.

During the treatment, Marybeth, who had finished her work and had some free time, came over curiously. Seeing Sadie's injuries, she asked with concern, "How did it get like this? Is it serious?"

Hearing that Sadie only had sprains and bruises, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Gaskiel, you're just in time." Reverend Swanson took out a bottle of potion from the carriage and handed it to her, saying, "I think it's difficult for Mrs. Adler to apply the potion on herself. Could you please help her apply this potion on the abrasion?"

Taking the potion, Marybeth nodded and agreed without thinking: "No problem, leave it to me."

As soon as Sadie and Marybeth left, a hand was placed on Lin Yan's shoulder, who was facing away from the camp. "Jamie, what happened? What happened to Mrs. Adler?"

Arthur's voice came from behind him.

When Lin Yan came back, Arthur was discussing something with Dutch. When he saw that Lin Yan and Sadie were not riding horses but driving a carriage, he realized that something was wrong. After getting off the carriage, Lin Yan took Sadie straight to the pastor, which made him more certain of this.

After finishing his talk with Dutch, he walked towards Lin Yan, wanting to ask him what happened during the two days he and Sadie were away.
