Wilderness Redemption Tour

"Jamie." Lin Yan reached out and held the other person's hand.

'Sadie.' Sadie gave Hamish a friendly nod.

"Thank you." Hamish nodded to the two men and asked, "Where did you find this coward?"

Lin Yan pointed in the direction of the valley behind him, "It's right by the stream in the valley over there."

"Why, is this horse timid?" Sadie asked curiously, stroking the horse's smooth fur.

"Not that timid." Hamish walked up to the horse named Buell and glared at it. "It was just frightened by a snake. It was not afraid of snakes before."

Buell seemed to understand what Hamish said. He grunted twice in embarrassment and raised his left front hoof to rub the ground.

"Your legs and feet are not in good condition, why did you come to the mountains?" Lin Yan asked him.

"I live nearby." Hamish pointed in the direction of Oakleaf Pond. "I moved here from Annesburg more than ten years ago. I built a house and raised some poultry. I usually go fishing and hunting. It's not a problem to support myself. The air in Annesburg is too bad. I still prefer it here."

The old man sighed and said, "You guys have helped me a lot, but I don't have much money to give you."

"Forget it." Lin Yan waved his hand indifferently. "If we really want the money, wouldn't it be better to just take the horse away?"

“Ha, that’s right.” Hamish laughed to himself and patted the horse on the back. “Buell is the most valuable thing I have.”

After saying that, Hamish seemed to suddenly think of something. He turned to Lin Yan and asked, "By the way, are you in a hurry? If not, how about we go fishing? There are several great fishing spots nearby. I am the only one who lives here who knows about them."

"Oh?" When Lin Yan heard that there were follow-up tasks, he winked at Sadie proudly, thinking that something interesting was about to happen.

Lin Yan didn't reply immediately. Hamish thought he was struggling with this, so he added, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. I'm very skilled. You just need to come along. All the fish you catch will be yours. Just consider it my way of thanking you."

"Okay." Lin Yan agreed casually. "We don't have anything important to do anyway, so we'll just go with you."

"That's right," Hamish said happily. "As someone who has been to the battlefield and survived, in my opinion, nothing is more important than enjoying life at the moment."

Riding on the horse, Hamish held the reins tightly and threatened Buell under his crotch: "You brainless old bastard, coward, if you dare to throw me off again, I will shoot you."

After giving instructions to his mount, Hamish turned around and nodded to Lin Yan and Sadie who were riding on their horses again, "Let's go back to my cabin to get our tools. It's just opposite Oakleaf Pond."

After getting back on the road, Sadie said quietly: "After seeing the mines in Butcher River Village, I don't feel like eating fish recently..."

"Just fish?" Lin Yan added fuel to the fire with a wicked smile, "The animals near the camp usually drink the water from the Kamassa River... Also, you didn't see with your own eyes the group of mutant wild dogs that besieged Butcher River Village that day. They should be the most polluted animals. The pustules on their bodies... their fur..."

Lin Yan described the mutant dogs vividly until Sadie couldn't help but pull out her gun and pointed it at him...

"Well, I just said that. If you don't want to hear it, is it okay for me not to say it..." Lin Yan smiled and nodded to Sadie to admit his mistake.

Sadie then put away her gun with a proud look on her face. Seeing this, Lin Yan bravely explained to her: "Ocliff Lake is a lake, which is different from the Kamassa River. The fish here are absolutely safe, you can eat them without worry."

Although Lin Yan explained the difference between the two, Sadie was still not interested. "Forget it, I'd better go back and eat the meat and vegetables that Pearson bought from Annesburg..."

Hamish's cabin is built next to Oakcliffe Lake. It is very small, with an indoor usable area of ​​only a dozen square meters, but it is completely sufficient for a disabled elderly person living alone. In addition, Hamish also built a simple dock by the lake, and a small boat that can accommodate four people is moored at the dock.

After settling Buel down, Hamish went into the house, got his fishing rod, and excitedly took Lin Yan and Sadie onto the boat.

"I tell you, fishing and hunting are the only two things I like in my life. If any of you want to go fishing or hunting in the future, come find me. As long as I'm alive, I will definitely go with you."

Perhaps because he was doing something that interested him, Hamish talked a lot more than before, and the smile on his face never stopped.

After getting on the boat, Lin Yan took the initiative to take on the task of rowing. Sadie looked at the clear lake water and asked casually, "What kind of fish are there in this lake?"

After Hamish sat down, he put the bait on the hook and talked attentively: "There is only one kind of fish worth fishing in this lake, and that is the northern pike. Among them, there is a most ferocious one. I call it the tyrant. It eats all the living things in this water area, even its own kind. It has been here since I moved here. I have fought with it for so many years, and I still can't decide the winner. I hope that today, thanks to you, I can catch this ferocious and cunning guy."

"Look at this." Hamish showed Lin Yan and Sadie the lure he was using. "The Tyrant is very smart. It won't eat ordinary baits. This is all made by me. Whether it's the color, shape or smell, it's its favorite style."

Lin Yan took one of the lures and observed it. It was a fish-shaped lure with emerald green color and a faint fishy smell. However, this lure was neither gold nor wood, so no one knew what it was made of.

"Very beautiful," Sadie commented.

"It's more than just beautiful," Hamish said proudly. "I spent many years trying to find the perfect combination of feathers, twine and luminous objects. I also tried coins, bullet shells and even medals. These are the ones I am most satisfied with and the ultimate weapons that the tyrant likes the most."

After showing off enough, Hamish put down the fishing rod and said, "Okay, let's go, I'll tell you where to stop."

The three of them worked together to push the boat away from the dock. After Lin Yan started rowing the boat, Hamish commanded: "Rowing to the right, just stop about 50 to 60 meters from the shore. The tyrant knows this boat, and it wants me to know who is the master of this lake, so it won't go too far away from the boat."

Lin Yan smiled as he rowed: "You make it sound so human. If you really catch it, wouldn't you lose a goal to strive for?"
