Wilderness Redemption Tour

During the day, Dutch, Arthur and Bill helped Sheriff Gray catch a group of bootleggers from the Braithwaites, and destroyed a bootleg brewing site, seizing a truckload of bootleg liquor. Dutch kept the truckload of bootleg liquor under the pretext of helping to deal with it, and planned to return it to the Braithwaites tomorrow to establish a relationship between the gang and their family.

Dutch and Arthur rode back to the camp first, while Bill drove the carriage full of bootleg liquor slowly back.

When Bill came back, the happy evening began again.

With the addition of new members, the liveliness of the entire camp has been raised to more than one level.

Mrs. Bell is different from Lin Yan, a "newcomer in the workplace". As a senior in this industry, she became famous even earlier than Dutch.

At the bonfire party, she moved among the men and women with ease, holding a glass of wine, or plunged into the crowd to tell a story about her own adventure, or sang a song with the uncle accompanied by Javier, or danced with Hosea to the music on the gramophone.

When tasting the moonshine again, Lin Yan did not react as much as he did yesterday. Although the turbid liquor still irritated his mouth, heart and throat, he had a strange feeling during the tasting process. This feeling was very wonderful, a kind of hazy feeling that could only be understood but not described, and this feeling was addictive.

The next morning, as soon as Lin Yan opened his eyes, he felt a splitting headache. It felt like two hearts had grown on both sides of his temples, twitching back and forth.

"Hiss...ah..."

While rubbing his temple, he turned his head left and right to observe where he was.

When he found himself lying in his own bed, he felt strangely relieved.

He closed his eyes and recalled the scene of last night. He only remembered that in order to grasp that hazy feeling, he drank one cup of illegal liquor after another. As for what he did in between, when he got drunk, and who moved him to the bed, he had no impression of any of these.

Lin Yan forced himself to sit up, but he felt dizzy and had waves of nausea.

After sitting on the bed for a while and feeling better, he put on his boots, staggered to the dining car, picked up a cup, walked to the campfire, picked up the coffee pot, and poured himself a full cup of hot coffee.

No matter how much you hate coffee, you still have to drink it when it’s time.

After taking a sip of hot coffee, Lin Yan smacked the taste.

It was not bad, it was not that bad. It was even better than what he drank when he first came here.

It seems that Pearson is willing to buy good coffee powder this time. That's right. What he drank before was just the same old thing.

Lin Yan sighed as he drank. Before he knew it, after two cups of coffee, he not only felt much more awake, but his headache was also gone.

After waking up, Lin Yan vaguely recalled that the system seemed to have triggered something last night, but he was drunk at the time and ignored it.

After opening the system menu and looking through it carefully, Lin Yan realized that he had missed two chances to draw a lottery last night.

One was a regular lottery draw as Mrs. Bell's favorability towards him reached 20 points, and the other was a special lottery draw as he recruited a new member for the gang. Both of these lottery opportunities were automatically cancelled because he did not use them within the ten-minute time limit.

After discovering the truth, Lin Yan stood there in a daze, losing all his energy and spirit, like a frost-bitten eggplant.

"If the regular draw is gone, then it's gone, but that's a special draw!!!"

You have to know that he has been here for nearly twenty days and has only triggered two special draws. He missed the third time in such a dramatic way.

This is just like when you win the jackpot in the lottery, but the lottery ticket falls into your trouser pocket when you are doing laundry and you forget to take it out, and it gets washed beyond recognition in the washing machine and you cannot claim the prize.

Phew! It's okay! Don't be angry! A blessing in disguise! Lin Yan took a deep breath and tried to comfort himself in his heart.

But in the blink of an eye, he felt a little unwilling. That was a special lottery! Whatever I got must be good...

Oh! They say drinking alcohol can cause trouble, and today I finally experienced it.

"What are you doing standing here, kid?"

Lin Yan looked up at the person who was talking to him. Opposite him, Mrs. Bell was also holding a tin cup in her hand, still wearing her iconic black dress, but without a hat.

After adjusting his mood, Lin Yan said, "Oh, I'm still a little dizzy. Stand here and relax."

"It's great here. It reminds me of the days when I was with Colt Tobin's gang." Mrs. Bell picked up the coffee pot and refilled herself with another cup.

"The Colt Tobin Gang?"

Mrs. Bell took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "It's the gang I used to be in, but now I'm the only one left."

Lin Yan thought he had asked about the other person's sad story, so he quickly apologized, "Sorry, I don't know."

"It's okay." Mrs. Bell said without any change on her face: "These are all old memories. I have even forgotten the names and appearances of some people."

"Let's not talk about this." She smiled and said, "I've made up my mind. I plan to stay here, but not as a main combatant. I see that you don't have any other defensive measures except for the sentries. I plan to spend a few days to help you improve it."

"That's a good idea." Lin Yan was happy to learn that the other party wanted to stay. The story of the Van der Linde Gang was still in the telling stage, and being able to attract a powerful companion might play a decisive role in the subsequent development.

After saying goodbye to Ms. Bell, Lin Yan found Sadie again. Today, Dutch had another task for him, and Sadie's injuries had not yet recovered, so she had to stay in the camp today.

"What does Dutch ask you to do?" Sadie, who was still dressed in a long dress, asked curiously.

Lin Yan pointed to the truckload of illegal liquor that Bill had brought back yesterday and said, "Go with Hosea and return the illegal liquor that we stole from the Braithwaite family."

Sadie's expression changed slightly, and her voice became a little anxious. "We just snatched it from them yesterday, and they gave it back today. What is Dutch thinking? It would be strange if there is no conflict."

"No." Lin Yan shook his head affirmatively and said, "Hosea also approved of this matter, and he went there in person. The Braithwaites should only know that the Gray family was responsible for catching the bootleggers yesterday. Besides, the ones following the Gray family yesterday were Dutch, Arthur, and Bill. Hosea and I have never met them before, so they probably wouldn't think that we are in the same group."

Lin Yan's calmness also affected Sadie. She nodded after listening and her words were no longer urgent. "Since He Xia is involved, there should be no danger. Just don't talk nonsense."

Lin Yan resisted the urge to cover his face, and said inwardly: You are the impulsive and irritable one, right? Why do I seem unreliable in your eyes?
