Wilderness Redemption Tour

When he returned to the camp, Lin Yan had already changed back into the clothes he wore when he left. If he went back wearing sackcloth and a tattered straw hat, it would be strange if everyone didn't laugh at him.

In the camp, Lin Yan actually saw Micah, who had not appeared for a long time, next to Dutch's tent.

The last time he saw this unpleasant guy was when he went to Strawberry Town with Arthur to rescue him. Since the camp was changed, he hasn't seen Micah appear here.

Seeing someone coming back, Micah, who was sitting next to the tent, stood up and said with a mocking expression:

"Hey, look who's back, the old cowboy and his new henchman. White people with white people, that's the way it should be! You had a nigger with you before, which always gave me the illusion that slavery hadn't been abolished yet."

Hosea glared at him and said calmly, "If I were ten years younger, I guarantee you would never dare to say that a second time in front of me, you uneducated bastard."

Micah hissed and let out a bunch of meaningless laughter.

Hosea ignored him and went straight to Dutch and told him what happened in the morning.

"Very good!" After listening to Hosea's narration, Dutch put the half-burned cigar in his hand into his mouth and took a light puff. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Go to Braithwaite Manor again this afternoon and tell the old woman what happened this morning. See what else she plans to do."

After explaining the matter to Hosea, Dutch called Arthur again.

"Take John and Javier to Gray's house this afternoon. Sheriff Gray said his father has something to entrust to us."

Arthur complained impatiently, "Damn it! Do these people in power think of us as his personal army? First we helped him catch bootleggers, now we are his fathers, and then who will it be? His sons?"

"What? Our 'good old man' Arthur doesn't want to be a good guy anymore?" Micah came over and teased.

"Calm down, Arthur." Dutch patted Arthur's shoulder and comforted him. "The current loss is only temporary. There is no free lunch in the world. When my plan succeeds, I guarantee that we can get it back ten or a hundred times from them."

Arthur pushed his hand away and said with some disinterest: "Okay, okay, I'll take someone over to take a look this afternoon."

At lunch, Micah mocked Pearson's cooking again, which made Pearson so angry that he followed Micah with a knife and ran around the camp for half a circle until Pearson ran out of energy. The other gang members all watched this scene like a show, and no one tried to stop him, not even a word.

In the afternoon, Arthur led John and Javier to the Gray family's location in the Caliga Plantation. Hosea, in addition to bringing Lin Yan with him, also called Sean, who had been staying in the camp to practice shooting recently.

Ever since the last train robbery, Sean seemed like a different person. He never left the house and stayed in the camp practicing his shooting skills.

The reason why Hosea wanted to bring Sean along was, firstly, to let him go out for a walk, and secondly, he was worried that Catherine Braithwaite would throw another task at him to complete.

The gunfight at Gray's Tavern in the morning had caught him off guard as he was preparing to retreat to the second line and not go to the battlefield anymore. Calling Sean to fight on his behalf was also meant to be a move.

Sean was not actually Hosea's first choice. He originally wanted to take Lenny with him, but Lenny was not in the camp today. Kieran said that Lenny went out alone not long after they left, and only said he was going out for a walk, without saying where he was going. Since Lenny had not returned, Hosea had no choice but to take Sean with him.

Although Sean has been focusing on improving his marksmanship these days, he is really tired of holding back. When he first got on the road, his mouth was like the horseshoe under his crotch, chattering non-stop.

"Haha! I guess you must be impressed by my superb archery skills after training, so you asked me for help. No problem! Sharpshooter Sean will definitely keep you safe!"

"I heard that we are going to visit Braithwaite Manor. Is the mansion big? What's the scenery like?"

"It is said that the mistress of the Braithwaite family is a vicious-looking old witch. Is this rumor true?"

......

Hosea was obviously fed up with Sean's noise. He slowed down his horse, rubbed his temple and said, "Sean, your words are louder than the sound of our three horses' hooves combined. I'm already regretting bringing you along."

"Haha, really... Sorry... But don't worry, I know what is important and what should and shouldn't be said." Although Sean said sorry, he still looked cynical.

Hosea sighed and said helplessly, "It would be great if you could be like Lenny and listen to other people's advice."

"You mean reading? I've already said that I'm not interested in reading. Gang life is what I want."

"Gangs also have rules, so take every mission seriously. Something bad will happen to you sooner or later."

"Okay." Sean shrugged, "Then I'll do as you say."

When they came to Braithwaite Manor again, although they had changed their mounts and there was one more person, the leading guard still recognized Hosea at a glance.

"Mrs. Catherine has told you that if you come, just go in and find her."

After saying this, he signaled the three to dismount. "Leave your horses and weapons here. The butler will take you there after you go in."

"There are so many rules..." Sean was about to complain when Hosea turned around and glared at him. He then thought of something and immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth and laughed awkwardly.

After leaving their horses and weapons at the entrance, the three men crossed the courtyard and entered the main house of Braithwaite Manor.

During this time, Hosea reminded Sean again and then knocked on the door solemnly.

The manor's steward was a black man with neat gray hair. After letting the visitor into the villa, under his guidance, Lin Yan met the hostess again in the reception room next to the gate. She was dressed the same as in the morning.

"Ah, it's you." The hostess in a luxurious purple dress bowed slightly, adjusted her sitting position and said, "It seems that you have completed my task. You are welcome. Please sit down."

Hosea took off his hat and hung it on the coat rack by the door, then sat down on the three-seater sofa next to Mrs. Catherine without any restraint. Lin Yan and Sean also took off their hats and sat on the sofa together.

"You guessed right. Although there were some minor problems along the way, we still successfully completed the task as you requested."

"Very good, how about we play a game of Cribbage first, and you tell me what happened while we play?" Lady Catherine said as she glanced at the butler standing by the door. The butler immediately understood and walked to the bookcase beside him, taking out a stack of cards and a wooden box from the drawer.

"As you wish, ma'am." Hosea nodded in agreement, then he turned to look at Lin Yan and Sean and asked, "Do you want to play together?"
