Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 161 Door-to-Door Delivery

Lin Yan didn't expect that Arthur and Sadie would take the initiative to talk about borrowing money before he even opened his mouth. Arthur even put the money directly in front of him.

The debt of 2300 was reduced by 800 in a blink of an eye, and Lin Yan's inner pressure was reduced by half at once.

"Thank...thank you!" Seeing the unreserved trust of his two partners and looking at the clear eyes when they looked at him, Lin Yan was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"What are you thanking me for? We are all family." Arthur waved his hand, as if he had just done something insignificant.

"What we're doing can be considered an investment. If you become rich in the future, it wouldn't be too much to pay us back ten times as much, right?" When Sadie said this at first, her expression was quite serious, but in the end, even she herself was amused.

"No problem." Lin Yan knew that Sadie was joking, but he still agreed without hesitation. "When we make a lot of money, I'll pay for everyone's trip to Tahiti!"

"Honestly, you shouldn't make decisions so quickly when it comes to investment. At least you should consult professionals first." Arthur was not as optimistic as Sadie. Judging from his expression, he seemed to have made the worst-case scenario. "It's hard to say whether the crazy inventor's stuff can make money. I think your money is probably going to go down the drain."

Damn it! Even if you think so, don't say it out loud. Do I still have any face left?

At this moment, Lin Yan wanted to refute him with specific examples, but then he thought that the examples he knew about had not appeared in this era; he also wanted to refute him with relevant scientific knowledge, but then he thought that with Arthur's cultural level, it would be completely like talking to a cow.

Lin Yan, who couldn't find any rebuttal points, could only sigh in his heart. Alas! Since you are so pessimistic and I am still willing to help me, just say whatever you want, and we will speak with facts in the future...

When Victor, the bartender and owner of the tavern, served the fish stew to the table, he also handed them the key to the room. After dinner, the three chatted for a while until around nine o'clock in the evening before they went back to their rooms to rest.

Unlike hotels, tavern rooms do not have paid bathing services. Since enjoying the "full service" in Saint Denis last time, Lin Yan has not taken a bath again. This would be fine if it was winter, but the problem is that the temperature in New Hanover and Lemoyne has already entered summer. It is exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and it rained today. I didn't feel it when I was eating just now, but now after returning to the room and lying on the bed, Lin Yan just felt itchy and sticky.

He scratched himself in different positions while muttering to himself, "What a lousy place this is. I've never heard of a hotel that closes. It's really uncomfortable not being able to take a shower... Unfortunately, I have to save money recently. If I want to take a shower, I can only go to the lake next to the camp tomorrow..."

Despite his complaints, Lin Yan, exhausted both physically and mentally after a day of running around, changed several positions in bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the sky was clear. Looking at the azure blue sky, Lin Yan felt much happier. After getting dressed and going downstairs, while having a "cheap" breakfast at the tavern after the price was restored, Lin Yan intentionally or unintentionally asked the bartender about the staff structure and town layout.

In consideration of Lin Yan's spending last night, Victor, the pub owner and bartender, happily told him everything Lin Yan wanted to know.

Annesburg is a mining town, mostly inhabited by miners and their families, as well as the service industry formed around these workers. These people can barely make ends meet, and the only company here that is truly wealthy is Cornwall Mining Company. When Lin Yan first heard this name, he was stunned for a moment, and after confirming with the locals again and again, he was sure that the owner of this company was Leviticus Cornwall, the one who paid the Pinkerton detective to hunt them down.

It seems that if you want to make a lot of money here, the only way is to rob the Cornwall Mining Company. After listening to the bartender's introduction, Lin Yan rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, and finally gave up this plan.

Regardless of the security of the company, Lin Yan didn't want to target it because it was Cornwall's property. Although Arthur kept saying "too much debt, no worries, too many lice, no bites", Lin Yan still gave up the idea of ​​robbery in the belief of trying not to cause trouble for the gang.

Maybe I should go to Saint Denis and see what opportunities there are...

After filling their stomachs, the three people, radiant and full of energy, headed straight for Saint Denis.

An interesting incident occurred when passing by Van Horn Manor near Van Horn Trading Port.

When the three men were riding horses past a sparse bush outside the Van Horne Manor, a sudden explosion in the bush frightened the three unsuspecting men, and their horses were also frightened. While calming the frightened horses, the men drew their pistols and looked around vigilantly, fearing that they would be ambushed.

After being on guard for a long time, the experienced Arthur silently put away his gun, jumped off his horse and walked towards the bushes.

"It's not an attack, it should be just an accident."

Seeing Arthur put away his gun, Lin Yan and Sadie also put aside their worries, put away their guns, jumped off their horses, and followed Arthur to see what was happening here.

Pushing aside the tall weeds on the side of the road, they walked a few steps towards the place where the black smoke was coming out of the weeds. A sparsely covered open space appeared before their eyes. At the edge of the open space, two men whose faces were blown beyond recognition and whose clothes seemed to be male were lying next to a safe, looking as dead as could be.

"It seems that these two stupid guys didn't blow up the safe, but instead killed themselves." Arthur analyzed based on what he saw at the scene.

Lin Yan felt that Arthur's analysis made sense. Who else but a thief would use explosives to open a safe? And there was no one else in the place. The two guys on the ground had obviously killed themselves.

Arthur turned his head and looked at Lin Yan and smiled: "Jamie, you were still worrying about money last night, but today the money just popped out by itself. I have never seen such a coincidence."

"This is just a simple coincidence..." Lin Yan smiled guiltily, because he knew that although this was a coincidence, it must have something to do with his lucky skills.

Sadie didn't care if it was a coincidence or not, she strode towards the safe. "Who cares if it's a coincidence or not! Let's see how much money is in this safe that sacrificed two lives."

The safe lying on the ground was also severely damaged in the explosion. The door was severely deformed, and Sadie separated it from the box with just a casual pull.

"Looks like we're lucky," Sadie casually grabbed a handful of banknotes and waved them at the two surviving men, "There's probably a few hundred dollars in here, but it's a pity they can't enjoy it."
