Wilderness Redemption Tour

In a blink of an eye, two weeks had passed since the Van der Linde Gang moved to the new camp. Since Pastor Swanson left, no one had left the camp. During this period, Lin Yan and Hosea selected a few people they thought were "weak-minded" and tried to persuade them to leave. Although these people had obvious intentions in their eyes, they each gave reasons why they could not leave now.

First of all, it was Tilly. Although Arthur had warned Anthony Foreman, the leader of the Foreman Brothers Gang, not to harass the girl again when he rescued her last time, Tilly was still frightened by the last kidnapping. She insisted on staying for a while to see how things would develop.

Next was Leopold. This man, who was always very quiet no matter where he was, refused decisively. His reason was just like his other profession, moneylender, which was full of gambling. He felt that the gang still had a chance to soar under Dutch's leadership, so he was willing to bet his future on it. "If it's time to leave, I will leave on my own even if you don't look for me." At the end of the conversation, Leopold said rationally and calmly.

The two finally found the uncle and Ms. Bell.

"Honestly, I still can't figure out what it is about me that can attract a woman like Ms. Bell." Before finding these two people, Hosea complained to Lin Yan. "I have known the uncle for more than ten years, almost twenty years. From the day he was brought to me by Dutch, he has always been lazy and shabby. Even his appearance has not changed much, except that his hair and beard have turned white. When I saw him doing nothing all day, I advised him to follow me or Dutch to do more while he was still young, so that he could make a name for himself and save more money. But he has been indifferent to all this since then. He only goes out with us to do a job when he has no money to buy alcohol, and he returns to his original state after making some money. This cycle has been going on for years. I asked Uncle Dutch about his origins, and he only said that the uncle had saved his life, and he didn't know anything else. Later, I also asked the uncle himself, but he was very secretive about his past and never even revealed his name to us. It seems that he is determined to say goodbye to his past."

"Before Micah came, he and the drunken Reverend Swanson were the two most troublesome people in the gang. Even Ms. Grimshaw couldn't do anything about them. Everyone thought that Uncle was a hopeless case. When Ms. Bell approached him, Arthur and I joked that Ms. Bell must have been fooled by Uncle's sweet talk. We were eager to see him get beaten up. But so many days have passed, and Uncle is still the same in front of Ms. Bell. But you see, Uncle is still the same in front of Ms. Bell. The lady looked like she was about to give up. She was not deceived by the uncle's sweet words. She took the initiative to show her goodwill to the uncle, and the uncle was the passive party. After figuring out this, Arthur and I were dumbfounded. I had heard about Ms. Bell's deeds at the beginning. Such a legend in the West was willing to lower herself and be humble to show her goodwill to an unknown, unmotivated, and idle old man. If you say that this old man didn't have a glorious past, I would never believe it. "

After listening to Hosea's story about the uncle, Lin Yan became interested in the pasts of other gang members. An old man who looked sloppy and was actually sloppy had a fascinating past. It was unknown what kind of pasts Susan, who arranged the entire camp in an orderly manner, Leopold, who was good at calculating, and Pearson, the half-baked chef, who were also the logistics staff of the gang, had.

"Since the uncle is determined to abandon his past and is willing to stay in the gang as an unknown person, why don't we use this as a starting point to persuade him to leave." Lin Yan touched his chin and pondered for a moment before expressing his thoughts.

"Hehe..." Hosea chuckled twice and slowly shook his head to deny: "I have used your idea on uncle a long time ago, and more than once, but this old guy seems to be determined to stay here. No matter what I say, he won't leave, even if I give him some money."

"Ah, this..." Lin Yan awkwardly rubbed his slightly damp hair after washing it not long ago, "Then..."

Just as he was about to mention the unreliable backup method he had thought of before, he heard Arthur calling from outside the house: "Jamie! Sadie! Come out with me! Let's go rescue John and Josiah!"

Rescue? Did Arthur find a way to rescue John and Josiah?

Hearing Arthur's call, Lin Yan's heart moved, but out of politeness he did not stand up immediately. Instead, he looked at Hosea who was also looking out the window.

Hosea looked out the window after hearing the noise, and turned to Lin Yan and nodded slightly, saying, "Leave Uncle and Ms. Bell to me. No matter whether it succeeds or not, we have to give it a try. You can go with Arthur without worry. John and Josiah are in your care."

Lin Yan nodded vigorously: "Yes! I will definitely help Arthur rescue them both!"

After leaving the room, Lin Yan found Arthur being harassed by Abigail in the stable outside the camp. Since Jilan left, Hosea took over the job of taking care of the horses in the camp. Although he was not like Jilan who stayed with these four-legged vehicles all day long, combing their hair, washing their bodies, and talking to them, he could still do the most basic things of feeding and watering them.

Abigail was currently pulling at Arthur's clothes and begging for something. If Aunt Susan hadn't been standing not far from them with her hands on her hips, other people working in the camp would have surely come over and maybe even joined in their conversation.

Lin Yan walked over to Sadie and watched the scene quietly. As he walked over, he understood the general situation from the conversation between the two people - Abigail insisted on joining the operation to rescue John, but Arthur refused her because the operation was too dangerous. That's what happened, but neither of them could convince the other, so the situation was deadlocked.

Standing nearby and listening to just a few words, Lin Yan saw Sadie walk between the two of them impatiently, stretching out her hand to separate the two and saying to Abigail: "Okay, okay. We all understand how you feel, but it's been a long time since you went on a mission. Besides, this is not a small fight. Going to the prison to rescue someone is no different from pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth. If there are only a few of us, the rescue operation will be faster and easier. Not only will you hold us back by following us, do you think John will be distracted when he sees you? There is only one chance. If you fail to rescue him this time, you can just wait to find another father for Jamie!"
