Wilderness Redemption Tour

Following Arthur's order, he crouched down and led Sadilin Yan and others to slowly walk towards the enemy in front of the cabin. John also perked up, drew the dagger from his waist and walked towards the enemy behind the cabin.

"I'll deal with the enemy on the left, and the one on the right is yours. Pay attention to the lights in their hands and don't break them." After taking a few steps forward, Arthur whispered to Sadie who was walking beside him.

"I know." Sadie replied simply, and then she and Arthur quietly followed their respective enemies from behind, one on the left and one on the right.

Sadie was relatively close. She crouched and tiptoed behind the O'Driscoll gang member. After discovering that the enemy was obviously taller than her, she decided to adopt a tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. Lin Yan saw her quietly throwing something next to the enemy in front of her. The gang member was also alert. After hearing the unusual sound, he immediately crouched down and raised the oil lamp in his hand to look in that direction. Sadie took the opportunity to walk to his side, holding the skinning knife given to her by Arthur in her left hand and stabbed the other party's neck fiercely, while her right hand went around his neck and covered his mouth.

Once, twice, Sadie stabbed the opponent's neck several times, until the oil lamp in the opponent's hand fell to the ground and she woke up from her madness. Looking at the oil lamp that just fell to the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief. The whole operation almost failed because of her irrational behavior just now.

Seeing that Sadie had solved her target, Lin Yan looked at Arthur who was farther away. Because of the light, Lin Yan could only see a vague black shadow quietly following the other enemy holding the lantern. The black shadow slowly stood up behind the enemy, and inserted the dagger in his right hand into the neck of the man in front of him. At the same time, his left hand covered the man's mouth, and his body pressed against the man in front of him to prevent him from struggling. After the attack, he did not attack again, but grabbed the arm of the man in front of him holding the oil lamp with the hand holding the dagger, and then followed his arm forward to grab the pole of the oil lamp in his hand.

After each of them dealt with the enemy, Lin Yan saw Arthur and Sadie reunited, and then separated again to sneak behind the other two sentinels. Before leaving, Arthur made a gesture in the direction of Lin Yan, meaning that Lin Yan should take Kieran to guard the door. With the dim light coming from the house, Lin Yan saw and understood what Arthur meant. He held the gun in one hand and grabbed Kieran's collar with the other hand and took him to the place Arthur pointed out.

There was an open space in front of the cabin. With the light leaking from the cabin, Lin Yan could vaguely see the layout of the place. This should have been a forest, but the O'Driscoll gang cut down all the trees nearby and built this cabin. Some unused tree trunks were scattered in front of the cabin. In the distance, Lin Yan also saw the outlines of two carriages.

Lin Yan took Jilan to hide behind a fallen tree trunk, squatting down and quietly waiting for Arthur and Sadie to come back. After a while, Arthur appeared first, and not long after, Sadie, whose face was covered in blood and looked like a killer, also came over.

There is no harm without comparison. Looking at Arthur who is clean, and looking at Sadie whose face and body are covered with blood, it is not difficult for Lin Yan to imagine how miserable the death of the enemy targeted by Sadie must have been.

Kiran also saw Sadie covered in blood. At this moment, she was silent as a cicada and dared not make a sound.

The people in the wooden house had not yet noticed the coming of death. Even though Lin Yan was so far away, he could still vaguely hear the cheerful laughter and voices in the house.

"Hey, so how much did we get?"

"It doesn't matter how many we get, what matters is how many fools we kill to feed the vultures."

"If the police find out it was us, we'll be in the Times Tribune."

"Hahaha, what do you think? If the police find out it was us, how many detectives will they send to arrest us? Or how much will our heads be worth after the arrest warrant is issued?"

"I think there will be at least twenty."

"Each of our heads is worth at least $80."

Amid the conversation of these people, Arthur and Sadie slowly walked towards the main door of the cabin after figuring that John had also solved his target.

Arthur first came to the window, secretly peeked into the house, and then stretched out five fingers to Sadie, indicating that there were five people in the house. Then he returned to the door and made a gesture of "I'm going in", and Sadie nodded solemnly.

Then Arthur kicked the door open, took a quick look, and then fired amid the screams and insults of the people in the house. Sadie behind him also entered the house and joined the shooting. John, who entered from the back door, did not appear in the hall because there was no back door in the hall. After a few gunshots, several people in the hall of the wooden house all fell to the ground. At this time, several gunshots were heard from the other side of the wooden house, and the enemy's shouts were also heard in the only room in the wooden house.

"John, how are things over there?" Arthur called across the room.

"There's no Colm, only two strays. Let's search the rest of the room together."

As soon as John finished speaking, the only room in the wooden house was kicked open from the inside. The enemy in the house began to counterattack by taking advantage of their own advantages to defend the room.

Lin Yan, who was outside the house, only heard a few short gunshots from inside the house, and after a while, continuous but not dense gunshots rang out again. At this moment, he saw a figure standing in front of the window. Lin Yan immediately held Jilan's head and lowered his head to hide behind a tree trunk. The man looked outside the house and after confirming that no one was guarding it, he opened the window and prepared to jump out of the house.

It's finally my turn to perform!

Lin Yan aimed his revolver at the man, and before he could be happy just as he jumped out of the house, "Bang, bang, bang!" Lin Yan opened his "Eye of Death" and fired three shots in a row, hitting the man's knees and the hand holding the gun. The man fell down and groaned in pain.

The enemies in the wooden house were still resisting. When they heard the sound of their companion who jumped out of the window being shot, they went completely crazy and rushed out shouting with guns raised. Arthur, Sadie and John behind them opened fire at the same time, shooting the two men who rushed out of the room and wanted to resist stubbornly into sieves.

Then they split up and searched the entire cabin. In the hall, Arthur announced disappointedly, "We didn't find Colm. We came at the wrong time. He's not here tonight."

"Just now a man climbed out of the window and was shot by me. Can you see if you recognize him?" Lin Yan no longer heard any gunshots from inside the house. He stared at the man outside the window, then walked to the front door with Kiran and shouted to the three people in the house.

The three rushed out of the cabin and cautiously walked towards the man who was still groaning outside the window. Arthur walked up to the man, squatted down, stretched out his hand and turned the man over. The man no longer had a gun in his hand. Seeing three people pointing guns at him, he raised his hands and said weakly: "I surrender, please don't kill me."

When Sadie saw the face he dreamed of destroying again, she was furious and kicked the man in the head, knocking him unconscious. He wanted to continue, but Arthur stood up and stopped him.

"What are you doing? Don't stop me!" Sadie yelled at Arthur.

"He was the one who killed your husband?" Seeing Sadie's expression, Arthur immediately guessed the reason.

Sadie found an opportunity to kick the man a few more times. "Yes, it's this son of a bitch. I can recognize him even if he turns to ashes."

"Don't you think it's too easy to kill him now?"

Sadie stopped her body movements and asked, "What do you mean?"

Arthur smiled. "Don't worry, let's take him back first. After he tells us where Colm is, you can do whatever you want with him."

Then Arthur looked at Kieran and said, "Boy, although you didn't catch Colm, you helped Sadie find her enemy. Go away, I'll let you live."

Kieran protested at this time: "What you are doing is no different from killing me! As long as Colm is alive, the O'Driscoll Gang will not be disbanded. Outside, Colm will not let me live. Either you kill me now, or let me become yours."

Arthur thought for a while, then said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask Dutch to spare your life."

After hearing this, Jilan happily raised his bound hands and said, "Can you untie them for me?"

After Arthur used a knife to cut the rope that bound Kieran's hands, Kieran said again: "Have you searched the house? Remember to search the chimney. They like to hide money there."

"Okay. John, Jamie, you take Kieran and search the house to see if there is anything valuable. Sadie and I will treat this guy's wound, and then we will leave quickly."

It was the first time that Lin Yan entered the wooden house. There were not many things in the house, and there were several corpses lying on the ground. After the last experience, Lin Yan subconsciously ignored these people and forced himself not to look at them. On the wall opposite the door was a fireplace, on which hung a skull of an unknown animal. There were also several animal furs and several deer antlers hanging on the surrounding walls. After entering the house, Jilan went straight to the fireplace opposite the main door. Lin Yan saw him put his hand in and touched it, and then said with a look of surprise: "Ha! I knew it."

As he spoke, his hand withdrew from the fireplace, still holding a thick stack of banknotes. After John swept the scattered cash on the table in the middle of the hall, he grabbed the banknotes in Kieran's hand without hesitation.

"Half of this will be left for the gang, and your share will be used to buy your life."

"Hey! If I hadn't told you, at most you would have found some change." Kiran said dissatisfiedly.

John chuckled and said disdainfully: "If you don't tell me, do you think we can't find it? Come on, we are all robbers, do you think I don't know where the money is hidden?"

Kiran didn't say anything. He sat in the chair next to him, looking a little depressed.

John took the money and searched more vigorously. In addition to the wine and food, all the cash, cigarettes and medicinal wine in the house went into his pocket. Lin Yan also walked around the house and came out with a handful of cash in his hand.

Outside the house, Arthur broke an oil lamp and was now holding a wooden stick burning on the flame of the oil lamp, apparently trying to stop the bleeding of the person hit by Lin Yan by scalding him. Seeing Lin Yan and the others coming out, he picked up the burning wooden stick and stabbed it at the wound caused by Lin Yan.

The severe pain made the man sober up again. Seeing Arthur treating his wounds, he thought his plea for mercy worked, and ignored the pain of the wounds, and hurriedly thanked Arthur flatteringly.

Arthur smiled and ignored him, and said to the three people who came out: "Let's go, Jilan, you ride one of their horses from here, and I will be in charge of this person for the time being."

Sadie looked coldly at the enemy who had killed her husband, who kept saying thank you. It was not until Arthur tied him up and carried him on his shoulders and walked away that she said to Lin Yan, who still stayed by her side, "Thank you."

Lin Yan was a little confused by Sadie's thanks. He asked curiously, "Thank me for what?"

Sadie continued to ask as she walked, "Why didn't you just kill that man when you saw him escape?"

Lin Yan took off his hat and scratched his head, then said embarrassedly: "I haven't really killed anyone yet, so I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I injured him."

After listening to Lin Yan's explanation, Sadie's mouth curled up slightly and she murmured to herself: Is this God's will?

Lin Yan now understood why Sadie wanted to thank him. Because of his momentary kindness, Sadie had the opportunity to avenge her husband. If it were him, he would also be grateful to the person who gave him the opportunity.

On the way back, the crowd didn't talk as much as they did when they went there. After all, they didn't catch Colm this time, and wasted an opportunity to completely end the feud between the two gangs, but it was not without gain. The biggest gain was naturally Sadie, the initiator of this operation. She didn't have any deep grudges with Colm. Her goal had always been to find the person who killed her husband and then avenge her husband with her own hands. Lin Yan's inadvertent action fulfilled her, which directly untied her knot.

On the way, Sadie and Lin Yan hung behind the team, and she talked a lot to Lin Yan about her and her husband.

"My dear Jack, he is a very good man. We have been married for several years and our relationship has always been so good. During the days when he was gone, I thought about him every day, every hour, and every moment. If I could, I would rather be the one who died that day."

"That day, when the O'Driscoll Gang passed by my house, Jack and I had just returned from town, and we had planned to have a sweet dinner together. But when Jack was unloading the car, he saw a group of people coming from a distance. He was worried that I would be in danger, so he asked me to hide in the basement first. I asked Jack to go with me, but he smiled and said to me that it would be more dangerous for both of us to hide, and that maybe those people were just passing by. Even if they were a group of robbers, he would give them the things and they would let him go. But after I saw the leader get off the horse in the basement, I shot him to death without saying a word. At that moment, I felt dizzy in my head, and my eyes went black and I passed out. Later, when I met Arthur and the others, in the first few days with them, apart from the gunshot, the face with a cruel smile holding a gun was in my mind."

"Jamie, that man turned me into a monster, but the day when I can become a human again is not far away, thanks to you. Please forgive me for what I did to you this afternoon, I just wanted to avenge Yake so much."

Lin Yan felt mixed emotions after listening to Sadie's story. This world forced people to become bandits, and these bandits turned people like them into monsters in Sadie's words. Is this inevitable in the course of historical development?
