Wilderness Redemption Tour

"Jamie, you're back!"

Seeing Lin Yan return to the camp, Kiran, who was talking to Bill, ran over and greeted him in surprise.

"Long time no see, Jilan." Lin Yan jumped off the horse and greeted with a smile.

Looking at the campsite that was the same as yesterday, Lin Yan asked casually, "Nothing happened during the few days we were away, right?"

"Nothing, everyone is the same as usual. Arthur is fully recovered, and he went out with Helen and the others yesterday to do a big job. Mr. Trelawney can also go out and move around, and he was clamoring to leave this morning, but Dutch didn't agree, saying that he should rest here for a few more days. Ms. Bell also set up her defense line two days ago. According to her, this line of defense can at least block 80% of the enemy."

Kiran reviewed what had happened in the past few days, and then picked out a few things that he thought Lin Yan would be more interested in and told them. During this time, he tried to take the reins from Sadie. Sadie, who had always ignored him and chose to tie the horse herself, this time calmly handed the reins to him for the first time. This move made Kiran smile even more, and even his back straightened.

Lin Yan nodded slightly and asked, "Have the Gray and Braithwaites made any recent moves? Have they not contacted us in the past few days?"

"Bill just brought back some news today." Kieran brought a bundle of hay to each of the two horses, bent down and put it next to their mouths, and continued, "In the past few days, Dutch has sent people to stake out near the two families every day to inquire about the news, but there has been no movement from the two families. Just now, Bill came back from outside and said that the Gray family wanted to recruit guards, and Dutch decided to let Arthur and others go over there early tomorrow morning to try."

Lin Yan nodded slightly again and walked into the camp.

"Hi, Jamie, hi, Sadie, you guys are back."

"Ha! Look who's back? It turns out to be our little hero and his widowed henchman. How was it? They must have had a lot of fun going out these days."

"Good afternoon, both of you!"

Seeing Lin Yan and Sadie return to the camp, most people greeted them in a friendly manner, but Micah was the only one who tried hard to maintain his annoying personality.

Sadie was in a good mood when she heard Micah's story about her. She just glared at Micah, said nothing, and walked away. Lin Yan ignored him. In his eyes, Micah was like those "bad students" in his class when he was in school. In order to attract others' attention and highlight their uniqueness, they always liked to talk nonsense without restraint. Little did they know that in the eyes of others, their behavior was no different from that of clowns. Apart from bringing them some psychological satisfaction, it had no benefits.

Entering the camp, Lin Yan found that the three "elders" Dutch, Hosea and Arthur were sitting around the table in the middle of the camp, discussing something. When they heard that Lin Yan was back, the three of them just turned their heads to look at him, nodded slightly at him, and ignored him.

If you ask Lin Yan what he misses most during these days, his answer is undoubtedly his bed. Although the so-called "bed" is just a few simple wooden boards, it provides a place to shelter from the wind and rain above the head, and a couch under the body to sleep peacefully. At least he doesn't have to be tense and worry about possible attacks all the time.

Pouring a cup of hot coffee from the coffee pot beside the campfire, Lin Yan sat on his long-missed bed, holding the hot cup, looking at the calm lake in the distance, and enjoying a moment of wonderful time.

A few minutes later, Arthur finished the conversation and walked up to Lin Yan. He said in a relaxed tone, "How is it going? Did your outing go smoothly?"

"It went quite smoothly." Lin Yan drank the remaining coffee in the cup, put down the cup, and took out the camera and the photo of Flaco Hernandez from the space bag.

"In this way, we have found all four people that the writer asked us to find. Now we just need to find him and give these things to him."

"Hmm." Arthur took the photo and took a look at it, then said with emotion, "It seems that these people are very afraid of Carloway. They would rather die than reveal any information about him."

"When we have time, we have to go to that pub again and give these things to the man with glasses."

"I went there when I came back. The tavern owner said that the man is now on the pleasure boat in Saint Denis. Let's go there to find him."

Arthur stuffed the photos and camera into his bag and said without hesitation, "Let's wait until we finish dealing with the Gray family." After saying this, Arthur complained, "You know, Bill is an idiot. He was asked to monitor the Gray family's movements, but he actually applied for a guard position and boasted that he could bring in a lot of people. The key is that Dutch actually agreed with Bill's approach."

Arthur snorted in dissatisfaction and continued to complain, "Whether it's the Gray family or the Braithwaite family, as long as we have some contact with them, we will know that neither of them has any good intentions. They are just using us, but Dutch is still willing to help them foolishly, saying that this is all his plan and everything is under his control. In the past, when Dutch was unreliable, he would change his mind under the persuasion of Hosea, but now..."

At this point, Arthur sighed and said no more.

Lin Yan rested his chin on his hand and reviewed Dutch's plan again, and asked, "What does Hosea say about this?"

Arthur sat on the bed, rubbing his hands and said, "Of course, we should persuade Dutch to give up his plan and leave Rhodes, especially since we successfully robbed the Valentine Bank. The money we robbed is enough for the gang to spend for one or two years. We don't need to take such a big risk to plot against these two families."

"Just now I heard someone in Valentine say that you robbed tens of thousands of dollars. It seems to be true?"

Arthur smiled, held up two fingers and said, "A little over twenty thousand, that's a lot of money."

"So Dutch is reluctant to give up his plan?"

"That's it." Arthur sighed again.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yan stated his own inference. "I think the failure in Blackwater Town was a big blow to Dutch. Since then, he has been trying to lead and complete several successful plans to prove himself again. The rash robbery of the Cornwall train got us into a big trouble again. This is also the reason why he is increasingly unwilling to listen to other people's persuasion, because he wants to prove himself by profiting from the two big families."

After listening to Lin Yan's analysis, Arthur was silent for a long time. "Is that so?" He muttered to himself after a long while.
