Wilderness Redemption Tour

All this seemed normal to Lin Yan, but there was one thing that puzzled him, which was that Molly and Dutch seemed to be arguing more frequently.

He had been a member of the gang for three weeks, and during this time, the gang camps changed one after another. He still remembered that when they were in Horseshoe Lookout, Dutch and Molly, the couple, often flirted and showed their affection in public. At that time, in addition to lamenting that foreigners were open-minded in this regard, he also envied Dutch for a while.

After the gang moved to Cape Clemons, the interaction between Dutch and Molly seemed to decrease all of a sudden. It was also from then on that Lin Yan began to hear occasional quarrels between them. At first, Lin Yan thought they were flirting, because the intensity of that was not at all a quarrel, not as intense as when Lin Yan spoke to people in his hometown dialect. But later, the tension between the two began to grow stronger, and the small quarrel escalated into shouting that could be heard throughout the camp. Of course, the only person who was shouting was Molly. Most of the time, Dutch acted as a "gentleman" and played the role of a punching bag. Only when he was scolded harshly would he say something aggrieved and complain.

Now the gang has moved to Shady Belle. At the beginning, everyone's attention was focused on finding little Jack, and the whole camp was temporarily quiet for two days. However, since Jack came back, Molly started to interact "friendly" with Dutch again, and in Lin Yan's opinion, the situation seemed to be getting worse.

In fact, Lin Yan thought that Molly’s complaints were not excessive, especially after he learned that Molly was a lady from a wealthy family before, but chose to elope with Dutch for love.

In general, Molly's complaints are actually only two points. First, the gang has gone downhill, and she wants Dutch to disband the gang and lead her to live a normal life. Second, Dutch cares less and less about her, and she wants Dutch to pay more attention to her outside of work.

However, in Lin Yan's opinion, these two problems can actually be regarded as one problem, that is, Dutch is increasingly alienating Molly because the gang is now on the decline, and he has to spend more time trying to find a way to reverse this decline. Dutch is naturally unwilling to disband the gang, which has led to the current situation, forcing him to make a single choice between the survival and development of the gang and his relationship with Molly.

Molly's background and personality are so out of tune with everyone in the gang. Her superiority in the camp also indirectly alienates her from others, so she stays alone in Dutch's tent most of the time, without much interaction with others. This also results in no one approaching her, persuading her, or enlightening her when she has psychological problems. Everyone is watching the follow-up between Molly and Dutch with a spectator's attitude. From everyone's words, almost everyone hopes that Dutch will get rid of this crazy woman as soon as possible.

Lin Yan, who has been influenced by domestic news and film and television dramas, is well aware of the different thought processes of some women, especially those who are love-brained. If he were to persuade Molly to leave Dutch, regardless of whether he had any chance of success, this action alone would be enough to make Dutch, the person concerned, angry and want to duel with him.

Therefore, the solution to this problem is to solve the gang's current dilemma as soon as possible. Angelo Bronte, an Italian gangster, is doing well in Saint Denis. After establishing a relationship with him through Little Jack, I wonder if Dutch will learn his way. However, Lin Yan is very clear about one thing. In the calculations of these two gang bosses, the other party is just a pawn in their own chess game. The temporary cooperation is just a pretense. It is just unknown who will be the final winner in this game.

If only Dutch could win and take Angelo Bronte's place...

"I noticed that you were in a daze all the way. What were you thinking about?" Sadie's question interrupted Lin Yan's thoughts when passing the wooden bridge outside Saint Denis.

"I was thinking..." Lin Yan came back to his senses from some unrealistic thoughts, chuckled and said, "Ever since I joined the gang, the gang seems to have been going downhill. I wonder if it's my problem."

"You?" Sadie also laughed when she heard the answer.

"This answer applies equally to Kieran, me, or Micah. In short, it is definitely not your problem."

"Oh, you have a point." Lin Yan nodded repeatedly in agreement. "The beginning of our gang's bad luck was when Micah suggested robbing the Blackwater Town money transport ship, so strictly speaking, the real plague god is not us, but this guy Micah."

After entering Saint Denis, Lin Yan deliberately slowed down the speed of his horse. Although the road just after entering Saint Denis is wide, the road conditions are the most complicated. This is where the Saint Denis train station is located. The station of this era has no walls or fences around it, and the main feature is to be free to do whatever you want. Here, Lin Yan even saw the scene of carriages, porters and trains competing for the road. In addition, the ticket office of the station was actually built on the opposite side of the road. In other words, if you want to buy a ticket and take a train, you have to cross an extra road. This incredible design makes the road outside the station even more chaotic.

After carefully avoiding the carriages, porters and passers-by who were trying to block the road nearby, Lin Yan gently pulled the reins and turned into another street.

On the right side of the street is the St. Denis Stables, where Lin Yan and Sadie bought their horses. On the left side is a large artificial lake. In fact, Lin Yan is not sure whether the lake was originally there or dug by humans. However, in order to isolate the noisy crowd outside the station next to it, a high wall was built around the lake, which has a sense of tranquility in the midst of noise.

"Aha! Do you see how powerful it is?"

When passing the reserved entrance and exit of this artificial lake, a cheer caught Lin Yan's attention. He looked in the direction of the sound and found several people standing on the shore of the artificial lake, seemingly looking at something in the lake. Judging from the backs of these people, they should be three men and one woman.

Looking at the back of one of them, Lin Yan touched his chin and muttered: "Why does that person's back look a little familiar..."

"That man looks like Arthur, right?" Sadie said uncertainly, pointing at the figure.

"Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like it..." Lin Yan agreed. After looking at it for a while, Lin Yan nodded confidently and said, "Hey! Isn't that Arthur? Let's go and see what he is doing!"

After tying the horses to the hitching post at the entrance, Lin Yan and Sadie walked towards the people standing by the lake.
