Wilderness Redemption Tour

"Jamie, please help me close the lid and make sure I can fall down smoothly from here to prove my love for Helen." Proetos, whose blue-green suit was almost soaked, climbed into the wooden barrel that was almost as high as his waist with some difficulty. Then, he held his head high and said to Lin Yan with a proud expression.

"You think I don't dare?" His brother, Acris in a yellow suit, jumped into another barrel. "You lowly and cowardly humanoid parasite, I'm going to prove to you in your own way how weak your confession is. Jamie, cover it for me first."

"Why did you come here first? It was obviously me who came up with this idea!"

"Just because I'm older than you! Helen, I'm the one who truly loves you..."

Looking at the brothers who were in a long dispute, Lin Yan sighed helplessly. He couldn't judge who was right or wrong in the matter of love. Love can make a person successful or destroy a person. The reason why he chose to intervene was not for anything else, but purely out of curiosity about how the plot would develop next.

He picked up the lids of the wooden barrels and closed the two barrels tightly. Fearing water leakage, he took out his revolver and used the gun handle as a hammer to hit the barrel lids repeatedly several times until the barrel lids were tightly fitted.

Through the barrel, Proetos commanded in a dull voice: "Okay, push the two of us down now. This is the moment to witness love and courage."

When it came time to actually do it, Lin Yan hesitated for a moment. He turned to look at Helen, who was standing aside and no longer trying to dissuade the two "fools", and defended his behavior, "If they die, it has nothing to do with me. They brought this upon themselves."

Helen seemed to be temporarily relieved at this moment. She stroked her forehead and waved her hand tiredly.

"Let's do it."

"as you wish."

The next moment, Lin Yan, who received the order, kicked the two wooden barrels in front of him into the slightly turbulent river with two kicks.

"I wish you good luck." Lin Yanyan said insincerely.

Finally, he muttered to himself, "It's better to leave only one behind later."

After the wooden barrel containing the two brothers was put into the water, it rose and fell along with the current and floated to the edge of the waterfall at a fast speed. Lin Yan, Sadie and Helen stood on a protruding stone by the river and witnessed the entire falling process of the wooden barrel.

Two wooden barrels fell one after the other from the Cumberland Falls, which was more than 20 meters high. The gravity, the earth's centrifugal force and the impact of the water flow made the two barrels disappear from the sight of the three people in an instant.

"Oh my God..." Helen, who witnessed this moment, held her head and exclaimed as if she had just woken up from a dream: "These two idiots... such big idiots, I can't believe they actually did such a stupid thing, why didn't I try to stop them just now..."

Listening to Helen's "self-blame" words, Lin Yan couldn't help but curl his lips. Okay, you can just fool outsiders with this trick, but don't end up fooling yourself.

"Look, the bucket is floating up again!" Just as Helen was holding her head and blaming herself and Lin Yan was silently complaining, Sadie pointed at the wooden barrels that were floating up one after another under the waterfall and said calmly.

Lin Yan clicked his hat and turned to his horse. "The courage test is over, it's time to open the blind box. Let's go and get them out of the river."

Riding on horses, led by Lin Yan, they galloped all the way down the path.

"Do you think...they...will be okay?" Helen, who was running at the back, asked hesitantly.

"Maybe." Sadie, who was running a little ahead of her, replied expressionlessly: "Do you hope they are okay or okay?"

Hearing this, Helen glared at Sadie's back angrily and raised her voice and said, "Of course I hope they are okay. What do you mean by that?"

Sadie looked back at her and said with a half-smile, "I'm just wondering if you, as the person involved, are deliberately creating and indulging the antagonism between the two brothers and enjoying the feeling of being sought after."

"Hey! What are you talking about? How can you make such malicious assumptions about others?"

Sadie sneered and looked back at Helen again. "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's get down to business. If only one of the two brothers survived today, would you choose to be with him without any pressure or guilt?"

Helen was so angry at Sadie's two short sentences that her face turned red and her breathing became rapid, but her good upbringing made her resist the urge to curse. She calmed down and replied stiffly, "Madam, don't you think your words are a bit too much? I don't want to talk to you now. Please let me be quiet for a while."

Seeing Helen's reaction, Sadie shrugged, chuckled a few times, and did not try to strike up a conversation to anger the other party.

After wandering around for a long time along the spiral downward path, Lin Yan and the other two finally went around the waterfall and reached the lower reaches of the Dakota River.

The place where they came down from above was a shallow beach with relatively gentle currents, where the two wooden barrels were "unfortunately" stranded.

After getting closer, Lin Yan discovered that there were knocking sounds and dull cries for help coming from the two wooden barrels.

Lin Yan chuckled, "So you are all still alive. It seems that you have successfully proved your courage."

"Oh, Jamie, is that you? Get me out of here, I'm suffocating in here."

"Save me first, I can't breathe!"

"Okay, okay, come one by one." Lin Yan comforted the two people in the barrel while moving the barrel from the water to the shore. Worried about the safety of the two brothers, Helen got off the horse and picked up a stone and smashed the barrel.

After the three of them worked together to rescue the people trapped in the barrel one after another, Helen hugged the two trembling brothers at the same time and said in a crying voice: "Look at the stupid things you did. I almost lost you."

Pretos opened his lips, which had turned white from the cold, and spat out a mouthful of water. "Ahem, Ake, are we not dead?"

Acris put his arm around Praetos' shoulders and smiled weakly. "Yes, we are all still alive."

"Two fools...you almost died because of me." Helen hugged the two brothers and cried with joy.

After hearing what Helen said, the two brothers looked up at each other at the same time, with a look of understanding in their eyes.

"She's right, brother." Acris broke away from Helen's hand. "We were so stupid."

"You are indeed stupid." Pretus also broke away from Helen's hand, patted Acris on the shoulder and said, "But you are also very brave."

"You are the dumbest person I have ever met." Akris put his arm around Praetos' shoulders, "But you are also the most noble person I know."

"You're a warrior!"

"You are a giant!"

"You will surely make a big splash in the future!"

"You can conquer the world!"

The two brothers, who used to ridicule each other, now began to praise each other. At the end, they hugged each other excitedly.

"Don't let anything come between us anymore."

"Absolutely not."

"What are you doing..." Helen stood beside them, staring in amazement at the brothers' sudden change.

"Goodbye, miss."

"Go and confuse some other cowards. We won't listen to a word you say."

"But...but I..." Helen wanted to say something, but Acris pushed her away.

"Let's get out of here before this witch can confuse us again."

"Okay! Brother, you lead the way!"

After saying this, the two brothers who had experienced the test of life and death no longer paid attention to others, and supported each other as they walked upstream.
