Wilderness Redemption Tour

Lin Yan told Sadie exactly what happened when Dutch came to see him.

"Aren't we going there in the evening? What are your plans during the day?" Sadie asked him.

"During the day..." Lin Yan thought for a moment, "Of course I'll make money. I'll go to Saint Denis and see if there are any other ways to make money."

"Then I'd better go with you. At worst I can come back alone in the afternoon." Sadie made the decision without further ado.

"...Okay then." Seeing that she was so persistent, Lin Yan had no choice but to agree.

The two chatted briefly after dinner. Seeing that Arthur was finally quiet, Lin Yan, who was a little curious about his reunion with Mary, seized the opportunity and hurried over.

Arthur, who was exhausted both physically and mentally after being "interrogated" by everyone, didn't wait for Lin Yan to speak, and told him everything he wanted to know.

It turns out that his reconciliation with Mary is not a reconciliation in the ordinary sense. Between the two of them, Mary's father is still an insurmountable mountain. Yes, Mary softened her heart at the critical moment. After thinking about the possible consequences of her actions, Mary gave up her original idea and managed to persuade Arthur to sit face to face with her father and have a "friendly" conversation.

Mr. Linton, who was no longer in his glory days, still looked down on Arthur, an old man. Arthur also didn't get along with this old man, but Mary was no longer the little girl who could be easily manipulated by her father. Her experiences over the years made her grow up a lot. At her insistence, Mr. Linton promised to put aside his prejudice, but on the condition that Arthur paid him $500 a month for "living expenses".

Not to mention Arthur, even Mary thought her father was crazy after hearing this amount. 500 a month is nothing. If you save this money in a year, you can buy a small farm. A small farm a year, with her father's health, it won't be a problem for him to live another ten years. By then, he will own more than a dozen farms. Arthur and I have to run around for his "living expenses" every month. It's a question whether we can outlive him.

Mary rejected her father's proposal without a second thought. After some bargaining, the three of them finally settled on a price of $300. Mary was still a little reluctant, but Arthur finally convinced her.

"300 a month, that's 3900 a year, close to 4000. You can't keep giving her money while she's still alive. How long do you have to give her money?" Lin Yan became angrier and angrier as he listened. He stood up for Arthur and said, "You can't find a good woman with so much money, so why do you choose to hang yourself on this tree with her?"

Arthur smiled, "There are some things you don't understand. However," he changed the subject and talked about Mary's father again, "The reason why I agreed to him is because I found that our Mr. Linton's health is not as good as it looks. He has been drinking and indulging in gambling for many years. After he has money, he will definitely squander it. Maybe in less than a year, Mr. Linton will go to another world."

So that's how it is. Arthur's move of retreating to advance seems to be a compromise with Mary's father, but in fact it is sending him a death warrant every month. What a blunt knife killing trick, which can not only make Mary feel at ease to be with him, but also will not cause any estrangement between him and Mary in the future because of the death of Mary's father. It seems that Arthur is not as reckless as others say, but he is quite scheming...

"Since you have dealt with his father, when will you and Mary..." Lin Yan asked curiously.

"It's not the right time yet." Arthur shook his head with some guilt when it came to this question. "I can't let Mary live a wandering life with me, but I can't quit the gang now. Mr. Warrington's 300 yuan a month for 'living expenses' is not a small amount. I have to wait until Dutch gets the money back from Blackwater Town, or send Mr. Warrington away."

"That's good, at least there's hope."

Arthur let out a small smile, "Yeah, after all these years, I'm finally going to have my own family."

When Lin Yan got up the next day, he covered his head and felt a splitting headache again. Arthur had love again, so naturally, the celebration in the camp at night was inevitable. Everyone was really happy for Arthur, so how could they miss the wine at this time? Compared with the past, the amount of alcohol consumed last night was huge. Even Leopold, who never participated in group entertainment activities, took the initiative to drink a few glasses. John even encouraged little Jack to drink a sip to cheer him up. In the end, he was naturally chased and beaten by Abigail.

Lin Yan learned his lesson this time and didn't drink as much as last time. When he felt he was drunk, he took the initiative to grope his way back to his bed.

After getting up and drinking a cup of coffee to sober up, Lin Yan went back to bed again. Pearson also drank too much last night. When Lin Yan got up, he had just started making breakfast.

It was not until after nine o'clock that the people in the camp who were drunk the night before gradually got up from their respective sleeping places. Freelancers who have no fixed working hours and do not need to punch in are so willful.

It was almost ten o'clock when Lin Yan finished breakfast. Looking at the time, Lin Yan sighed silently. Well, I guess I won't be able to earn any extra money today.

After arriving in Saint Denis, Lin Yan took Sadie straight to the police station. He still vividly remembered the scene when he received the wanted warrant for Lindsay Wofford from here last time. It was rare to see a criminal with a bounty of up to one thousand dollars.

Seeing the notice board, Lin Yan felt a little disappointed. He didn't know whether the police station had not issued any tasks or whether all the tasks had been taken by others. The entire notice board was empty. "It's like the birds have fled to the forest after eating all the food, leaving the ground white and clean!"

After asking the police officer on duty and learning that there was no reward recently, Lin Yan walked out of the police station with some regret.

Since I can't do my "main" job, I can go to the theater to watch a performance. With this idea in mind, Lin Yan brought Sadie to the Harlech Theater again.

"What are you doing here?" Sadie asked curiously, looking at the theater sign.

As he walked into the theater, Lin Yan simply explained, "I did a favor for an actor in this theater when I came back yesterday. Not only did she invite me to watch the performance for free, she also promised to give me the compensation that their team deserved for this performance."

Standing in front of the ticket window, Lin Yan knocked on the counter and asked the male ticket seller in red overalls sitting inside: "What time is the earliest performance?"

"One o'clock in the afternoon, sir," the ticket seller replied politely.

"A little..." Lin Yan thought for a moment, then asked, "Did Miss Marjorie from your theater tell you anything yesterday?"

"Oh, Miss Marjorie said that if someone comes up and mentions her name, she should let that person in directly, and give that person her share of the performance fee after the performance."
