Wilderness Redemption Tour

John looked at Dutch's palm after hearing this. Dutch didn't hide anything and opened his palm to him generously. He smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury. It's no big deal."

Under Lin Yan's implicit signal, Dutch did not tell John that Lin Yan had used artificial respiration on John. Although there was an outlier like Bill in the gang, he and John were still conservative about this matter. Even though Lin Yan did this to save people, for John's sake, Dutch decided to hide the process from him.

Seeing Dutch's hands still oozing blood, John's resentment towards him suddenly diminished by a lot.

"I still think we should have fought harder just now..."

Muttering quietly, John slowly sat up, looked around and said, "Are we in danger here? Will those soldiers chase us?"

Dutch shook his head. "No, the search area is too large. They simply don't have that many people."

"We managed to escape, but Feiying and the others..." Lin Yan hesitated to speak.

Speaking of the group of Indian youths led by Flying Eagle, Dutch showed a regretful expression and sighed, "The three of us who reacted quickly were caught up. I'm afraid Flying Eagle and his companions were caught before they could even run."

"It would be better if we were caught, what if we were killed..." The local garrison had deep hostility towards these Indians. Lin Yan didn't think those soldiers would show mercy to Feiying and his men.

Dutch stood up and said, "Whether we are captured or killed, it is unlikely that we can return to the reservation now. Let's go back to the camp and wait for news from Arthur and Charles."

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the three returned to the beaver cave. After the long journey, their clothes were almost dry. When the three hungry people returned to the camp, they were greeted with another bad news - Pearson was gone.

As a cook, according to Lin Yan's evaluation criteria, Pearson was completely unqualified just because he cooked bad food, but what else could he expect in this era? There were very few groups like the Van der Linde Gang that had full-time chefs and could eat hot food anytime and anywhere. Their configuration was enough to kill a large number of gangs in the West in seconds.

Pearson left this morning after making breakfast. There were no signs during this period, and he did not tell anyone. He just pretended to go out to buy groceries and drove away in a carriage. Seeing that he was late, Hosea thought he was in danger and went out to look for him himself. In the end, Tilly found a note left by Pearson on the dining car. Everyone realized that he did not come back because of an accident, but because he left secretly.

"Let's go, all of you, let's go, you bunch of ungrateful villains." Dutch seemed a little irritable about Pearson's departure, which was something Lin Yan had never seen before. It was not known whether it was because Dutch had just encountered a setback and was in a bad mood, or because he felt that Pearson was more important than those who had left before.

In short, with Pearson's departure, Lin Yan's second stage of the final mission has reached 3/5, and two more people will enter the third stage of the final mission. At present, the mission rewards for the third stage are not visible. The mission rewards for the first stage are attribute points, and the second stage are ordinary draws. Lin Yan is looking forward to the mission rewards for the third stage.

With Pearson gone, Hosea had to take on the role of temporary chef. Because there was no ready-made food in the camp, he had just finished preparing lunch when Lin Yan and his friends came back.

Lunch was a simple stew. Although Hosea was not a full-time chef, he still had some cooking skills. After tasting it, Lin Yan gave a fairly objective evaluation of the stew - it was not salty.

During the meal, Sadie asked Lin Yan, "Where did you go? Not only did you not come back all night, but your horse also came back before you did?"

Lin Yan chewed a potato and slurred his words as he briefly recounted what happened yesterday and today. Then he pointed in the direction of the stable and asked Sadie, "If I'm not mistaken, that horse is Hamish's Buell, right? Why is it here? Could it be that Hamish came looking for it? I haven't seen him for such a long time since I came back."

When Lin Yan mentioned Hamish, Sadie's eyes dimmed and she said in a low voice: "I brought Buel back. Hamish...he's dead."

Lin Yan's chewing stopped and he widened his eyes in disbelief, "Dead? How did he die? Wasn't he still fine the day before yesterday?" Then, he seemed to have thought of something, "Wolf! Was there a wolf among the pack of wolves we encountered last time who was lucky enough to survive and was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on him?"

"No." Sadie shook her head and said, "It's not a wolf, it's a wild boar, a huge wild boar."

"Wild boar?" Lin Yan put down his plate and wiped his mouth. "What's going on? Tell me."

"Here's what happened." Speaking of this, Sadie, who had only been saddened by the death of her husband, once again showed a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"When we said goodbye to Hamish the day before yesterday, didn't he say that we could go find him again if we wanted to go hunting? Pearson went out to purchase meat yesterday, but he didn't buy any, so I thought about going to the mountain to shoot a deer or a pheasant or something and bringing it back for him to cook, so I went to find Hamish as soon as I got up this morning. He has lived there for so many years, and he must know what is there in the mountain better than I do. After I found him, I told him about the matter, and he agreed without hesitation. But just as we were about to set off, Hamish suddenly claimed that he saw a wild boar in the woods opposite. He asked me if wild boar would be okay, and I thought it was all meat anyway, so it didn't matter what it was, so I agreed."

At this point, Sadie laughed at herself and said, "If I had seen the wild boar at that time, I would definitely not agree."

"Forget it, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault." Although Lin Yan also felt sorry for Hamish's death, he still comforted Sadie: "Hamish's life was worth it. Not only did he survive the war, but his death was also the same as a king I knew."

Sadie rolled her eyes at Lin Yan in annoyance and said, "How can you comfort someone like me? How could a king be killed by a wild boar?"

"Of course not!" Lin Yan sniffed, "Robert Baratheon was injured by a wild boar and died despite ineffective treatment."

Seeing that Lin Yan was speaking in a serious tone, Sadie asked doubtfully, "Really? Which king was he? How come I have never heard of such a ridiculous death?"

Lin Yan chuckled and said, "It's just a small country. It's normal that you haven't heard of it. I just happened to read it in a book. Let me tell you, this is not the most aggrieved way to die. Did you know that there was also a king who drowned in a cesspool..."
