Wilderness Redemption Tour

John and Charles were in charge of guarding the camp today. When they saw Lin Yan and Sadie bringing back a stranger, they couldn't help but step forward to ask.

"Beauty in Black?" John looked away, lowered his head and thought about the name for a moment, then whispered, "I think I heard Hosea tell me this name when I was a child..."

After letting them pass, he recalled the "legend" about the beauty in black that Hosea had told him when he was a child.

Charles didn't react to the name, but when he learned that the lady might become a member of the gang, he politely expressed his welcome.

"I have to say, the environment here is much better than where I live."

After officially entering the camp, Ms. Bell began to comment on the environment here.

After parking the carriage outside the camp, Lin Yan asked Jilan who came over, "Have Dachi and the others returned?"

"They're back. Among the people who went out this morning, except Bill, everyone else is back."

"Is this your new mount?" Kiran happily stroked Lin Yan's black Arabian horse, while glancing at the stranger in black beside Lin Yan intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yes, a new mount."

Upon learning that Dutch had returned, Lin Yan did not communicate much with Kiran, and took Ms. Bell straight to Dutch's tent.

As they walked towards Dutch's tent, many people noticed the stranger following Lin Yan. The gang members who were working stopped what they were doing and cast their eyes on the strange lady in black.

Only Arthur and Hosea, who were sitting opposite each other drinking coffee, showed a look of understanding in their eyes.

"Dachi, there's something I need to talk to you about." Lin Yan walked to Dachi's tent and stood still, speaking across the tent.

"Come on, kid, come in and talk." Dutch's voice came from the tent.

Hearing this, Lin Yan opened the tent and walked in with Ms. Bell one after another.

In Dutch's tent, only Dutch was sitting by the bed reading quietly. Molly, who usually stayed with him, was not there today.

"Who is this?" Dutch put down the book in his hand and looked at the lady in black clothes and a black hat in front of him. Although she was older, she had a unique charm. He looked at Lin Yan with an inquiring look.

Lin Yan walked between the two and briefly introduced them: "This is Ms. Bell, but you may be more familiar with her nickname, 'Beauty in Black'."

"Ah~ I understand now." Dutch showed a look of realization and smiled, "There were not many people in that era who could be called legendary gunmen, and you are the only one, lady."

Then, he nodded gently to the lady in front of him and said very gentlemanly: "Please allow me to introduce myself, Dutch van der Linde, a little-known gunman."

Ms. Bell smiled and said, "Little gunmen? Little gunmen don't have the guts to attack the government's money transport ship."

Lin Yan was worried that Dutch would misunderstand his intentions, so he explained first: "Ms. Bell has been hunted by bounty hunters for many years and has nowhere to go for the time being. I plan to invite Ms. Bell to join us."

"Oh? Joining?" Dutch's eyes showed a hint of joy. "It's great to get the assistance of a legendary gunman."

Ms. Bell straightened her clothes and said, "I can join you, but before that, I would like to have a preliminary understanding of your gang, and then I will decide whether to join or leave."

Before the specific terms were agreed upon, Lin Yan was politely asked to leave the tent by Dachi.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, Lin Yan received a call from Arthur and Hosea who were sitting at the square table.

Sitting in an empty seat nearby, Arthur was the first to ask, "Why did you bring the 'Beauty in Black' back?"

"When I met Ms. Bell today, her place had just been visited by bounty hunters. I saw that she had nowhere to go, so I suggested that she stay with us for two days. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Hosea waved his hand and said, "Question? No, no, no, we're just curious about how you convinced her to come back with you."

"It was Sadie and I who took turns to persuade her. Maybe it was because we helped her kill those bounty hunters who came to her door, so she had a good impression of us." Lin Yan shrugged and said as a matter of course.

After that, he whispered to the two gang elders in front of him, "Will Dutch be unhappy that I brought a stranger back like this?"

Hosea said without thinking, "It's better not to do that in the future. Dutch doesn't like others making decisions for him."

Arthur gave his opinion. "It mainly depends on whether the person you bring can catch Dutch's eye. If you bring back a guy who has neither fame nor strength, then Dutch, not to mention me, will not be happy."

While they were talking, Dutch's tent was opened from the inside, and Dutch led Mrs. Bell out one after the other.

"Everyone!" Dutch raised his hands and called to the rest of the camp.

After everyone gathered around, he spoke: "I have decided to let this lady beside me, Mrs. Bell, become one of us, but she has not made a final decision yet. She will stay here for a few days to observe our lives and decide whether to stay or leave in the future."

After a pause, Dutch announced something else.

"Bill will bring us a truckload of moonshine later, so we'll have something to drink tonight. Mr. Pearson," Dutch turned to look at the camp cook who was wearing a greasy yellow shirt, "if we hold a party today, will there be enough food?"

"That's enough!" Pearson replied gruffly. "I just bought 100 pounds of fresh beef today."

"That's great! Our party will continue tonight, and we'll try to make a good impression on Ms. Bell!"

The whole camp was in an uproar again. Before dinner time, the rumor that the legendary gunman "Beauty in Black" was interested in joining the gang spread to everyone's ears.

Although most people don't know what the "Beauty in Black" has experienced, the title of legendary gunman still shocked them.

As a "veteran" in this industry, Mrs. Bell's personality is very likable among this group of people. It didn't take long for her to get along with most people in the camp.

However, the person who Mrs. Bell gets along best with is actually the uncle, a guy who does nothing but drink, sleep, and sing pornographic songs.

Lin Yan originally wanted to move closer to listen to what they were talking about, but when the two men saw someone approaching, they actually shut their mouths at the same time tacitly, which made Lin Yan even more curious.

Before dinner, Hosea approached Lin Yan again and gave him the proceeds from selling the guns. In the morning, he took Lenny to sell the guns to Seamus on the black market. Although they were only sold for a quarter of their original price, it also brought Lin Yan an income of $1100.

Excluding the expenses for the mounts, he and Sadie each made a net profit of 500 from this bounty alone, which could be considered a "big business".
