Chapter 45 Hunting

Time flies very fast, and the next afternoon, Arthur came to Dunn Hotel to find Wang Xuance.

Following him, there was also a strong man with dark skin.

"Hey, Charles!" After saying hello, he saw that Arthur did not intentionally avoid Charles, so he took out two thousand dollars from his bag and handed it to Arthur. "Arthur, this is the money for the documents you gave me before. Although it is not the original price of those documents, because it is difficult to cash, I can only give you so much."

Arthur didn't expect there were so many, and he was stunned when he got the money.

"Hey, Arthur, it's only two thousand US dollars." Wang Xuance shook his head. It was probably because Arthur didn't expect that those documents that were originally waste paper could sell so much money.

Because at first Dutch just wanted to rob the train and then get bearer bonds that are easy to take on the train, the rest is not in Dutch's plan.

Because Arthur had always heard Dutch, he never thought about how valuable these things were. He only took them out of help to his friends.

"The rule of our gang is to divide half of the gang, and then half of the people involved in the action. In this way, one thousand of the money in it will be handed over to the gang, and the remaining one thousand I and Lennie Ka are equally divided."

When Charles saw that Arthur had no idea of ​​giving him money, he had no objection because he did not get into the carriage at that time.

"What are you here to do this time?" Wang Xuance put the book back into his bag, and then put away his gold and silver double-action revolver.

"Actually, I just came out to see you because the uncle said you wanted to see me." Arthur held his belt, "because you said you would come back after selling those documents. I thought it might be a few hundred dollars at most, but I didn't expect there were so many."

"Where is Charles?" Wang Xuance turned to look at Charles, a mixed race between the black and the Indian.

Generally speaking, when there is no task, he prefers to be alone.

"I invited Arthur to go hunting with me, but he said he would come to see you first, so I just came with him." Charles briefly said about his purpose.

"Hunting, where are you going? Heart of the Earth? Or Ambarino?"

"Of course it's the heart of the earth. I don't want to go to the snow-capped mountains again. We just came out from there, and I don't want to go to such a cold place again." Arthur shook his head.

Wang Xuance was very understanding. When he first went down the snowy mountain, he did the same. He felt that he never wanted to go up again. The place was surprisingly cold and wearing thick clothes was not convenient for anything to do.

"Do you want to go together?" Charles invited Wang Xuance.

"Well, of course." After thinking about it, I had nothing to do at the moment, so I simply went hunting with Arthur and Charles.

The three of them rode on their horses and rushed out of Valentine quickly.

"Haha, this feeling is really good. It feels like running in the wind and blowing through your ears." Wang Xuance felt the wind blowing across his cheeks in the wind, and the smell of livestock feces in the air became much fainter.

Although it may be because of being away from Valentine.

"I haven't figured out which tribe you are from?" Charles rode on the horse and shouted to Wang Xuance who was leading the way.

"Have I told you that I am not an Indian, I am a Chinese from the other side of the sea." Wang Xuance took a bow from the saddle.

"Chinese people? Are they the Qing people with braids?" Arthur asked in confusion. He knew that those people were all good people, obedient and self-righteous, and were completely different from those of them.

"No, they are not Chinese yet. When a brand new country appears on that land and completely abandons all the current systems, that is China." He took out a Carcano rifle and carried it on his back.

Charles and Arthur looked at each other, not understanding what Wang Xuance was saying at all.

"Okay, actually I don't fully understand what you are talking about." Arthur shook his head and followed Wang Xuance and Charles.

"If you don't understand, you won't understand." Wang Xuance also shook his head. Arthur is very smart, but often he is unwilling to take the exam.

"Charles, what is our hunting target this time? Deer? Or pronghorn?" Wang Xuance turned around and asked Charles.

"No, our target is a bison." Charles shouted loudly, afraid that Wang Xuance would not hear what he said when he was moving quickly: "I saw it from afar before that there was a group of bison in the heart of the earth. They were in groups and made huge noises when walking, just like thunder."

"Haha, I know them. I saw it when I came here to catch horses before. There were about two hundred bisons in a flock. They lived on the plain near the heart of the earth, near the heart of the earth."

Wang Xuance remembered that when he first arrived in this world a year ago, he had no money on him and couldn't buy a horse from a cheat sheet, so he could only catch the horse himself, and couldn't help laughing.

"They may have migrated. I saw them near Shuangdi Mountain before." Charles didn't know what happened a long time ago, but recently, he saw the group of bisons near Shuangdi Mountain.

"In fact, bison life is not easy. Many bisons have been caught and killed. Now many people raise cattle, and they have begun to occupy the living space of bison. Now, if these bison skins are placed in the future, they will be the most precious wealth." Wang Xuance remembered the papers he had read about American cowboys, and several complete bison skins exhibited at an auction.

"Haha, if we keep hunting and peeling the bison now, then as long as we live, we will get rich from time to time?" Arthur's words were still unthinkable.

"Although it's OK, I don't recommend doing this, because bison is also a creature, and we can't hunt him just for money."

Charles, who originally wanted to say something about Arthur and let him give up this idea, heard Wang Xuance's words and said: "Yes, as Jason said, bison is also a kind of creature. They provide food, tools, clothes, etc. for others. We cannot hunt them just to satisfy our little desire."

And it will not be valuable until a hundred years later. Wang Xuance originally planned to say this sentence, but since Charles has stopped Arthur from killing bison and making money by skinning, I won’t just say it.

"Do you know, my mother told me that their tribes migrated with the bison. Their tribes are almost one with the bison. Wherever the bison goes, their tribes follow."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little bored, Charles simply talked about some things she had heard: "The bison is the center of my mother's tribe. Without the bison, there would be no them. She once said that we should be full of awe of the bison."

"Ha, I don't have any impression of my childhood, but I think my fellow whiskey goes wherever they go." Arthur probably wanted to say that people like them are often addicted to alcohol and drink alcohol all day long.

"I was very impressed by my childhood. At that time, we played with some good friends all day long, and all kinds of games, and I felt very fresh every day. My childhood was very happy, and the only unhappy thing was probably when I was doing my homework." Wang Xuance continued to follow their words.

"Haha, your childhood is really interesting, but compared to Arthur's childhood, I am not as happy as you, but my father lives the kind of life Arthur said." Charles laughed twice, but didn't say anything. After all, Wang Xuance looked clean and refreshing at this point, and was different from people like them who were in the wind and sand every day.

As he said that, Charles rode a horse and started to take the lead, and Wang Xuance did not compete with him. After all, Charles took the lead in hunting at the beginning. As a mixed race between Indians and blacks, he was still very capable.

"Let's go, let's go from here to see what's going on."

Wang Xuance looked at the distance in front of him. There was a high mountain called Fortress Mountain. There should be traces of people's life on the mountain. After all, he had caught a bounty here before, and no one cleaned up the camps on the mountain.

A group of bisons were free wanderers on the plains at the foot of the mountain, some playing and some eating grass.

Charles greeted the two people following behind: "I'll go ahead, you can try to hunt one. Remember that we only need one. Who are you planning to hunt it?"

Wang Xuance and Arthur looked at each other, and Wang Xuance thought for a while, "Arthur, come on, compared to hunting these bisons, I prefer to hunt some other things that are worse than pigs and dogs."

When Arthur heard Wang Xuance's words, he knew what he was talking about was worse than pigs and dogs. He simply raised his gun and pointed it at the head of the bison that Charles drove out.

"Bang"

With one shot, the bison ended his life without pain.

"Good job, Arthur." Charles saw that the bison had been shot and returned to the two of them. "Now, we need to deal with the energy we were hunting and take away everything we could."

The three of them rode to the next to the bison, and they were lying quietly on the ground, motionless.

Arthur took out his hunting knife and began to divide all the useful things on the buffalo. He cut off all the horns, cowhides, and other edible places on the buffalo. After putting them on the horse's back, the three of them were ready to go back.

But suddenly I heard a crow roaring sound. The three of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of crows flying from the ground at the foot of the Fortress Mountain.

"Let's go and take a look." Charles is worthy of being the most righteous fighter of the Vanderlinder Gang. He rushed to the other side first, with Wang Xuance and Arthur following closely behind.
