Wilderness Redemption Tour

Valentine, inside Lizzie's Clothing Store.

Walking into the empty Lizzy clothing store, the charming female boss sitting behind the counter saw a customer coming and stood up attentively to entertain the customer.

After seeing Sadie's outfit, she was stunned for a moment. Based on her many years of experience in running a store, she could tell Sadie's true gender almost at a glance. She just wondered why this customer had to disguise herself to buy clothes.

The doubt flashed through her mind, and her professional instinct made her decide to ignore the question. The identity of the customer was not important to her, what was important was whether the customer paid for the goods.

"Welcome, what kind of clothes would you like to buy?" She walked out of the counter and gave a professional smile to the two guests who came in.

"Thick clothes, preferably winter clothes." Sadie, who was walking in front, said gruffly.

"Winter clothes? Are you going to the snowy mountains of Ambarino?" The female boss turned and walked to the corner of the room, where two rows of dark woolen clothes were neatly stacked. "All the thick clothes in the store are here, you can choose for yourself."

Sadie said "hmm" softly, without further explanation, she walked over, squatted down and started picking up clothes from the pile.

Lin Yan followed her and picked up a pair of thick black leather chaps to compare the length. He had already "bought" the coat in Lodz yesterday, and now he just had to choose a pair of pants that fit him.

“If you like the clothes, you can take them over there to try on and see if they fit you well.” When the female boss saw that Lin Yan wanted to buy something, she enthusiastically pointed to the simple fitting room surrounded by a curtain.

Lin Yan nodded slightly and walked into the fitting room with the pants.

After putting on the leather chaps made of some unknown animal's skin, Lin Yan lifted his legs and muttered quietly: "Although it's a bit fat, it's still okay overall. Let's just take it. I'm too lazy to choose anymore."

After changing back into her original pants and walking out of the fitting room, Sadie had already chosen her clothes. She was now standing at the door of the fitting room holding the clothes, waiting for Lin Yan to come out.

Lin Yan tilted his head and took a glance. The pants were also the same style of leather chaps in his hand. As for the top, it seemed to be a light yellow deerskin coat, with leather on the outside and fur on the inside.

After waiting patiently for a while, Sadie also came out with clothes in her arms.

"Just these few." She put the clothes on the counter and asked, "Do you have boots and gloves?"

"We have both. What size boots do you want?"

"I'm 7.5." After saying her own score, Sadie looked at Lin Yan.

"I...I'm 6.5." Lin Yan thought for a moment and replied.

After trying on all the boots and gloves, Sadie happily paid for Lin Yan, and the two of them walked out of the clothing store holding their clothes.

"Here, hold it for me." When Sadie saw Lin Yan putting all his clothes into the space bag, she also handed over the clothes in her hand.

"Oh..." Lin Yan nodded, without thinking too much, and did as he was told.

While storing his items, Lin Yan looked at his food inventory and asked, "I don't have much food left. Do you want some more?"

"No, I'm almost tired of eating those things. We can just hunt some game on the way."

"Well, I have a pretty rich variety of seasonings."

After preparing everything, just as Lin Yan was about to set off, he suddenly heard a crisp bell sound from the other side of the town. Upon hearing this sound, pedestrians on the road and shop owners all put down their work and ran to the other side of the town.

"What's wrong with them?" Lin Yan had never seen such a scene since he arrived here, so he asked curiously.

Sadie thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a sign that someone is about to be executed."

"Execution? Hanging?" When Lin Yan heard about execution, he immediately became interested. He had long wanted to observe this simple and crude way of executing justice up close, but he didn't expect to encounter it today.

"Of course it's hanging, what else?" Sadie looked at Lin Yan as if he was a mentally retarded person.

Lin Yan answered without thinking: "Compared to hanging, I still think the guillotine is more exciting."

Sadie: ...

"I don't know who was hanged. It couldn't be one of the people we captured that time..." Seeing that Sadie didn't say anything, Lin Yan muttered to himself.

"If you're curious, just go and take a look. All the people in the town have gone there."

One of the reasons why Lin Yan didn't want to go was that he was afraid of being recognized by Sheriff Malloy. Although there were no wanted posters for him, Sadie, and John posted everywhere in the town as he had thought before he came, the absence of posters did not mean that they did not exist. What if he went there and was recognized again...

Forget it, let’s just take a look from a distance on horseback. Even if we are recognized, we can escape immediately.

After much hesitation, curiosity finally prevailed.

Lin Yan and Sadie, riding on horses, followed the crowd to the west side of the town, diagonally opposite Lin Yan's "birthplace".

On the execution platform, Sheriff Malloy, an old acquaintance, held a speech in his hand and said passionately: "We are here to witness the majesty of the law! Once someone breaks the law, we will never tolerate it! Today, you will see the majesty of the law..."

Behind him, the beautiful woman in pajamas and a noose around her neck attracted Lin Yan's attention.

"I'm not a murderer! Those bastards are beasts! I killed them just to protect myself!" She tried to justify her crime.

It turned out to be her.

When Lin Yan saw the appearance of the person being executed, he immediately understood. He didn't expect that she was a "repeat offender", but after killing someone, she would not always meet "kind-hearted people" like Lin Yan.

That’s right, she was the prostitute who claimed that she had accidentally killed someone on the second floor of the Smithfield Tavern. Lin Yan had helped her deal with the body of the deceased.

Now that I think about it, what she said at the time didn’t make sense, especially how did she know that pigs would eat corpses? Had she done the same thing before?

"I was just protecting myself. All the people I killed deserved to die." The other party was still trying to defend his actions.

"She has shown no remorse... and we should have no mercy." Sheriff Malloy closed his speech and said to the executioner: "No need to wait any longer, open the trap door."

The executioner standing in front of the lever stretched out his hand and pulled it back suddenly. The trapdoor under the prostitute's feet immediately opened to both sides. The body that lost its fulcrum immediately fell down. The weight of the body and the acceleration of gravity caused by falling all acted on the noose that was tightly around her neck.

Due to the great distance and the noisy voices, Lin Yan only saw the woman's body swaying gently back and forth due to inertia after falling, without any signs of struggle.

"Huh." Lin Yan, who had just watched intently, let out a breath. Perhaps he felt that the other party had done something wrong, and after watching the entire process, he did not feel uncomfortable at all.

"We've seen what we need to see, now it's time to go." Sadie pulled the reins and said, facing northwest.

"Okay, let's go!"

Under the leadership of Lin Yan, the two officially set out for Stone Lake to look for the last legendary gunman in the mission - Flaco Hernandez.
