Chapter 41 Departing to the East
The Horseshoe Watchtower is located near Valentine. If you ride a horse, you can get to Valentine in half an hour. It is a wide platform, about 7,000 to 8,000 square meters, next to it is a forest and a cliff. It often becomes a hiding place for some criminals.
There is the next destination of the Vanderlinder Gang.
When we walked down from Porcer Village, passing Spider Gorge, Lake Isabella, Bear Teeth Creek, and walking all the way to the vicinity of Cattail Pool, Dutch called Maika and Lanni: "Mika, Lanni, come here."
When Mika heard Daqi's call, she immediately ran over: "What's the matter, boss."
Dutch lowered his body and said to Mica: "You and Lenny go ahead and check it out to see if there is any danger."
"I and that dark-skinned boy?" Although Mika thought Lennie was very good, he prefers to be alone or with those with good marksmanship when he was in action.
However, it was Dutch's order after all, so he brought Lenny with him: "Come on, boy, maybe you can treat me to a drink."
Lenny rode a horse and followed Mica: "Shet, why didn't you invite me?"
As the two of them walked further and further away, they gradually disappeared into the mountains and forests.
The convoy slowly walked through the path near Cattail Pool and entered the location of Cumberland Forest, where Wallace Station was nearby.
However, Wang Xuance had no idea of leaving for the time being. After all, he had to go to Valentine to see if anyone had written to him. His contact addresses with everyone were placed in Valentine and Rhodes.
When passing by Cumberland Falls, Arthur and his carriage wheels fell off, which was a very common little thing, and this often happens to the carriage at this time.
Just as Wang Xuance was helping them pack their things, three horse-riding people appeared on the top of the mountain.
Hosea and Charles carried the carriage, while Arthur installed the wheels. Wang Xuance helped pick up all kinds of things on the ground and put them back into the carriage.
In a blink of an eye, I saw three people on the top of the mountain and waved to them.
Seeing Wang Xuance waved his hand, Hosea and Arthur also noticed the three people on the top of the mountain.
"Are you Indians?" Hosea raised his hand to block the sunlight: "We have caused them a lot."
"Will they shoot us with bows and arrows?" Arthur was a little worried. After all, they were standing at a high place and they were waiting for people.
"No, if they were going to attack us, then we wouldn't see them." He said, turning around and looking at Wang Xuance: "That boy, he looks very similar to the Indians, and judging from his appearance, he should have something to do with the Indians."
Hearing Hosea's words, Charles turned to look at Wang Xuance, but did not say anything, but sat behind the carriage.
Seeing that Luo Yu and the others had left, Wang Xuance rode his horse and followed behind.
Hosea, who was driving in front, looked at the road, "It's not far from there, walk along the river, and then turn left and walk along the road."
Charles looked at Wang Xuance behind and asked, "Are you very familiar with those Indians?"
"Yes, I am quite familiar with them. I have transported supplies to them in the past few months. You should know that they are not doing well." Wang Xuance shook his head, "Those upper-level congressmen may not care about the little Indians, but Colonel Fervos, who is responsible for monitoring them, are not good people."
"He is eager to gain military merits so that he can get promoted and make money, but at present, there is no war in the United States that allows him to gain military merits. The recent military merits have been on the Indians. As long as he finds an opportunity to kill all these Indians and then give them a name for treason, it is a lot of military merits. It is completely enough for him to become a general."
Wang Xuance said disdainful tone: "If I hadn't found a chance recently, I would have even wanted to assassinate him directly."
"Last time I was delivering supplies to the Indians, a captain under him even dared to ask for money like me, and later I found an opportunity to hang the damn idiot directly in his house."
Wang Xuance didn't mind telling these guys about his story with the Indians, or even telling them that he had killed a captain of the American army, because he knew that the outlaws would not report him or mingle with those army.
"You killed a captain, and no one came to cause trouble for you?" Charles asked curiously.
"Of course, there is no evidence, and I have a background behind me, so not everyone deserves to come and cause trouble for me." Wang Xuance curled his lips.
Hearing Wang Xuance's words, Hosea, who was driving, turned around, but did not say anything, but continued to chat with Arthur.
Wang Xuance is also the truth. If the quarrel really starts, the current Earl of Riss White has become a state assemblyman in Lemoen State, and even the next governor has been confirmed, it is Earl of Riss White. He is currently working with Earl of Riss White, so many people are quite polite to him.
Although I had many choices, I finally chose to work under Count Rithwright, because only in this wilderness in the west can I truly feel the breath of "freedom".
Just as Hosea had said before, the desperados in the West began their own carnival, and everyone began to become unscrupulous, and in this environment, their abilities would become extremely powerful.
Wang Xuance had tested before and his physical fitness was at least five times stronger than when he first arrived in this world. Every time he killed an enemy, he could feel that he was constantly getting stronger.
If you put yourself on the battlefield, you will definitely be the kind of army that is one person.
In this west, it is your own battlefield.
Just as Mika said, Wang Xuance had a temperament of contempt for life, and it seemed that nothing was taken seriously by him.
In fact, although Mica is very illustrious, he has a good view of people.
Arthur and Hosea were driving in front, while Charles and Wang Xuance were chatting in the back.
Perhaps because Charles is of Indian descent, he still has a high likes for Wang Xuance.
Hosea, who had just seen the Indians, remembered the tragic experiences of the Indians, and talked to the other three.
"The place we go now is called the center. There is a large area suitable for grazing and farming, which were all theirs before, but the army snatched these places from them and drove them to the deep mountains in the north." Hosea sighed with sadness: "Everything was taken away, and the Indians were either killed or driven to desolate areas."
"Is there any difference here and elsewhere?" Charles raised his own doubts.
"Evil, there's no difference." Hosea choked, because he really didn't know the difference: "I just heard that some people in the army were dissatisfied with the Indians. It should be what Mr. Jason said just now, Colonel Ferworth."
"Maybe we should be talking about it simply so that this Mr. Daitoo who was driving the car could understand it." Seeing Arthur's a little confused, Hosea teased him a few words.
"Hey, don't bring the war to me." Arthur was also unwilling to be outdone: "Don't forget, this professional fraudster, Charles and Jason, is born with him. What he said is a squandering thing, but that doesn't mean he knows something."
Turning around a river bay, Arthur suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of it, where is your tribe, Charles."
"My tribe? Speaking of which, I don't know if I have a tribe, at least I don't have one in my memory."
"My father is a black man. He is said to have lived with us for a while, and there are a few free black men with us. But then our land was taken away and we started wandering."
Charles' tone was full of helplessness and bitterness: "I was too young at that time and I remember nothing. I have been hiding all my life. A few years later, my mother was captured by a few soldiers, and I don't know where she was taken. I never saw her again."
Thinking of the sad things, Charles' tone became more and more low: "We started wandering around... My father began to drink heavily, stayed with alcohol every day, and drank like a mud. When I was thirteen, I passed alone."
Seeing Charles sinking deeper and deeper in his memories, Hosea interrupted: "When we discovered Arthur, he was about that big, maybe even bigger. This kid was lawless back then. But he learned things very quickly."
"But it's obvious that Marston is faster than me." Arthur shrugged, with a little jealousy in his tone.
Charles was confused: "I don't understand, do you have any holiday with Marston?"
Hosea patted Arthur with some concern in his tone: "Arthur?"
Arthur waved the reins, and his tone was more nostalgic: "That's a long story."
But Arthur obviously didn't want to talk too much about this topic, and changed the topic, "After that, is it going to make this path?"
Hosea asked with some sighs and answered ill-fated questions: "That depends on whether we should follow the plan and go west to find wealth and peace in the primeval forest? No, we should follow the right direction and run down the mountain regardless of everything and get rid of the police who came with us? Yes, of course that's the case."
Charles was a little confused, wondering why they came here, "Are you familiar with this nearby?"
"Of course." Hosia's tone was filled with nostalgia and longing: "I have passed by here a few times. There is a nearby animal husbandry town called Valentine, cowboy, fugitive, prostitute, and it's where people like us stay."
Arthur interrupted Hosea's nostalgia: "Maybe there are people from the Odrisco gang."
"Maybe." Hosea knew that there was such a possibility, but he didn't care, because he knew that just because of these sharpshooters in the gang, the Odrisco Gang could not cause any storm.
"Is it possible for Pinkton?" Arthur continued to speak, although it was all difficult to answer questions.
"I hope they are not here." Hosea certainly didn't want Pinkerton to be here either.
