Chapter 75: The small camp in Lumeixi

When talking about revenge funds before, Arthur and Charles were not familiar with each other except Wang Xuance, which was related to their failure to contact the upper class, so Wang Xuance explained it to them for a little while and stopped talking.

Charles took Wang Xuance's words and asked Arthur: "So, are we going south now?"

"Yes, that place called Lumei Creek, Dutch asked me to confirm whether it was safe there. It might be our next camp." After Arthur replied, he thought of the location of Lumei Creek.

Although he had been to the vicinity before, he had never observed that place himself.

"Although I only knew him for a few months, I couldn't tell that he had the idea of ​​going to the south." Charles was a little confused. After all, he had never heard Dutch say that he was going to the south.

Arthur certainly knew Charles' doubts, and he explained: "We can't hide it. Near Valentine, our previous location was too close to Valentine. Now we have to stay away from Valentine, but we have caused great trouble in the west before, so we can only go south now."

"Yes, we have too many people." Charles also knew why they couldn't hide it, because of the number of people. If there were only five or six people, they could just find a place to set up a camp, but their team was too large.

If Trelawney is included, they have twenty-three people. This team may not be much for a gang, but there are too many alcohols such as elderly, children and women.

In the whole West, except for them, there is no gang that will bring old men, children and women.

Women in the gang are more prostitutes, and they are found in nearby towns and will not stay in the gang for long.

"The only thing that is thankful is that Ducky would not take everyone to hide in the cave, which is the opposite of his position. If he does, it means he admits that we are just a group of despicable criminals." Arthur smiled. This was probably the most charming part of Ducky.

When Charles heard the word criminal, he couldn't help but say: "We... were criminals."

Of course Arthur understood this truth, but Ducky didn't like the word, "You don't need to remind me."

Charles wanted to change the subject and asked, "So, when will we end it?"

"What's the end?" Arthur didn't react for a moment.

"Run, escape, hide..."

"Ducky doesn't think we're on the run." Arthur retorted.

Charles didn't mind what Arthur thought: "You can say whatever you want, when will I end this thing?"

"I don't know. In the past, as long as people go away and take longer, all problems will disappear and we will start over. This country is very big." Arthur thought of his previous life.

Then I thought of the current situation: "But now, Pinkerton is chasing us behind us, and there are even countless bounty hunters. I don't know what to do. Maybe our head reward is too high."

"Yes, our rewards are all very high. There must be someone behind them who are funding them." Charles confirmed Arthur's idea and proposed a new idea.

"You are right. Your bounty is indeed very high, and there are indeed people who are helping them, giving them money, giving them supplies, and then asking them to hunt you down." Wang Xuance spoke out and confirmed their thoughts when he heard Charles' words.

"As far as I know, the federal government approved a large amount of special funds for various illegal and criminal activities in the United States this year. Simply put, it is to capture the money for criminals like you, so many people have participated in it and want to divide the money."

"And you will never think of how much money this is, one million dollars, most of which are paid by wealthy capitalists. Because your actions and target targets are often them, they are very concerned about the arrest of you."

Hearing Wang Xuance's words, Charles and Arthur were silent. They did not expect that the federal government would target them.

They always thought that behind the people who pursued them were Cornwall and several other rich people. If it were just like this, they could still hide, but if the federal government pursued them, they really had nowhere to hide, and it would be possible to stay away from this country.

"Haha, you don't have to worry. Although the federal government has distributed a lot of funds to hunt criminals, these funds are used more in places like New York, Washington, and the west, civilization has not spread yet, and you still have time."

Seeing that they were a little silent, Wang Xuance comforted them.

After walking a while, several people saw a large dry riverbed in front of them.

"I think it's there. I've seen that riverbed, a dry stream that has been old." Arthur took the lead and rushed to the riverbed.

"It looks very open." Charles and Wang Xuance also saw the place. They passed by when they robbed the train, but because it was dark, they had never observed it carefully.

"Yes, it's very open, but if it rains, it will definitely flood here. Maybe it's not suitable for us to camp." Arthur sighed: "But maybe there's something else, let's take a look at the situation first."

After he finished speaking, the three of them scattered to see which place is more suitable for camping.

As soon as Arthur ran to the riverbed, he saw a vulture flying in front of him.

"Shet, look, a bunch of vultures, something bad must have happened."

Wang Xuance and Charles also saw the group of vultures, so they didn't bother to investigate other places, but quickly rode to the place where the vultures flew up to check the situation.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Look, a corpse, it looks like he was shot to death." Arthur squatted in front of the corpse, smelling the stench of corpse that was not obvious in the air: "And, this person has not died for too long."

"Yes, it seems that this unlucky guy was in trouble before we arrived." Charles also checked the unlucky guy's body after dismounting.

Wang Xuance also squatted in front of the corpse, and then he slightly plucked the corpse's hair and showed his face: "It seems that this unlucky guy is not like a British, but more like a German, perhaps a German, Swedish or others."

"Let's go, let's go ahead and take a look. I just saw a camp there, and maybe I can find some clues." Charles remembered what he had just seen and said to the two.

"OK, let's investigate."

Of course, Wang Xuance and Arthur agreed that their purpose was to investigate the situation.

"Remember, prepare the gun. If there is any situation, fire the gun first and pay attention to safety." Arthur took out his gun, and after he was ready, he said to the two.

Charles and Wang Xuance also took out their guns.

Arthur is a traditional denim revolver with no decoration on it, only because of wear and tear caused by too long use. Wang Xuance is a Mauser pistol with a golden gun body and enamel red, which makes Charles even simpler, a short-cut shotgun.

"I won't shoot for no reason." Charles whispered.

The three of them did not ride horses and arrived at a camp. It seemed that the camp was in a very bad condition and was plundered, leaving only some canned food or chocolate.

Arthur walked in front and just passed by a corner, he saw the tent inside: "Look at this place, there are several tents inside, but there is no one."

"Let's continue to check it out and see what's going on." Seeing that Arthur had no intention of exploring the tent, Charles walked into the tent, wanting to see if there were any clues.

But he checked it and found that although there were several books in it, he could not understand the words in it at all, and it was different from those that Arthur usually read, so he had no idea. Moreover, the words looked like they were just ordinary printed words.

Wang Xuance passed the tent and saw Arthur stopping by a caravan.

"What did you find?" Wang Xuance took out his pistol and pointed it at the place where Arthur discovered it.

"Don't, put the gun down, Jason." Hearing Wang Xuance's words and seeing him raise his pistol, Arthur quickly stopped Wang Xuance's behavior, because he found that this place was just a civilian, definitely not that kind of outlaw.

"Okay." Wang Xuance was just acting. He also remembered that this was a German immigrant camp, and the profession of German immigrants here was also very interesting.

Charles, who was searching for the tent, also heard the sound. He thought there was something wrong, so he rushed over.

Seeing that Wang Xuance put down his pistol, Arthur carefully moved away a few wooden boards, revealing the few people hiding inside.

One man and two women, they thought it was safe to hide it in it, but they heard the voices of three men.

They had just suffered bad luck, so they wanted to hide it even more, but they were still discovered.

Moreover, they also saw that these three men had guns in their hands, especially one of them was black.

They had been robbed by black people before, so they were relatively alert to black people. Moreover, the only person of the three who looked very kind had raised his gun and pointed it at their wooden board just now.

In short, in the eyes of this family, none of the three of them are good people.

In this family, one adult woman, two of them should be her children, and the three of them looked frightened.

After Wang Xuance and the others saw that it was a harmless civilian, they also put away their pistols.

"Don't worry, it's okay. We haven't seen anyone else nearby, don't worry." Charles comforted the three of them softly.
