Looking at the mask in Wang Xuance's hand, he heard Wang Xuance's London accent again: "Are you sure? There is no one with London accent in Colm's gang, although it is impossible for us to have it."

"Of course I know that there are no London accents in Colm's gang, but that's what I want them to think." Wang Xuance said: "Everyone knows that there is no London accent in Colm's gang, but he just appears."

"What does this mean? This person is definitely not Colm's person, so whose person will he be?" Wang Xuance asked with a smile.

Hosea is very smart. He has always been a think tank for the gang: "Everyone can do it, but it is absolutely impossible for us to be a member of the gang. We have dealt with Cornwall before, and he already knows that there are no British people in the gang."

"Yes, that's right. In this way, this matter can only fall on Colm's head, because on the surface, people are from the Odrisco Gang. As for deeper investigation, that's something else."

Wang Xuance's persuasion made Hosea put his heart back on his chest, as long as it didn't cause any disaster to the gang. As for Arthur to follow his side job, this kind of thing is too common. Everyone in the gang is doing this.

Dutch did not object to going out for a side job. On the contrary, he encouraged such things, just bringing the money back.

......

The next day, Wang Xuance took Arthur to the tram station. To be precise, this place is not just a tram station, it is still a train station.

Taking a train is much faster than riding a horse. If you ride a horse from Shedibele to Fortress Mountain, it will take at least two or three days, but if you take a train, you can get to Valentine in about ten hours.

The rest of the journey is only about an hour to ride.

Although Arthur and his team had a big fight in Valentine before, it has been a long time since then, so the alert power has been much less.

There are not many police forces in small towns in the west after all.

The people Arthur and his friends killed in Valentine before were all guards brought by Cornwall, but they did not cause any damage to the police force in Valentine's town.

Valentine included Sheriff Maloy and Deputy Sheriff, and there were only six police officers in total, which was even quite a lot in small towns in the west.

For example, a small town in New Austin often has only three or four police officers.

The main reason is that there are fewer local people and fewer police officers. Although the government pays wages, those wages are paid in a fixed manner. No matter how many people you have, they only have a little salary.

In the evening, Wang Xuance took Arthur to Valentine, took out his two horses from the animal husbandry carriage, but did not enter Valentine. Although time had passed for a long time, Wang Xuance was not sure if anyone would remember Arthur's face.

In order not to cause trouble, the two of them did not go in to make some supplies in the end.

When we arrived at the promised Fortress Mountain, it was already evening, but Wang Xuance checked around and found no traces of flying eagles, and there were no traces of people camping around.

Wang Xuance knew that they had come too early and the flying eagle had not arrived yet.

"It seems that we have come early, and Feiying hasn't arrived here yet." Wang Xuance immediately took down his camping equipment: "Let's camp first and have a rest. I was so tired when I took the train just now."

Arthur nodded as well. Although he had good physical fitness, he could only sit on the train for ten hours, and was a little tired.

After frying the camp, Arthur took out a can of beef and put it on the grill: "Are you familiar with the Indians? I think they seem to be familiar with you, and I remember saying before, you are not an Indian."

Wang Xuance took out the wine he had found at the catfish Jackson's house and handed Arthur a bottle: "It's very familiar. My fiancée, her mother is an Indian. The first time I met her was in Ambarino."

Arthur was stunned: "Fiancée? I have never heard you say that, then she..."

Arthur was a little hesitant and didn't know whether to ask this question. He had visited Wang Xuance's house before, but he did not see any traces of women's lives in his home.

Wang Xuance knew Arthur's concerns and thought that the fiancée he mentioned had died.

So he shook his head: "No, she just went to New York to study. Calculate the time. She should be back in about a while."

"It's great. Do you know, I once had a woman and a son..." It seemed that Wang Xuance's words reminded Arthur of his past, and he also missed the woman he had in the past a little.

Although Wang Xuance probably knew a little, he didn't know in detail: "Can you say it? Of course, if you want."

"Of course." Arthur's eyes were a little empty: "When I was young, about the same age as you, I met a waitress named Eliza, a very beautiful woman. At first she didn't know my identity, but later she also knew that this did not affect our relationship."

"Later, she gave birth to a son for me, named Isaac. He was very cute. When I first saw him, I knew that he was my son."

"But, in fact, I didn't actually spend much time with him. Every few months, I went back to Eliza and stayed for a few days, but once, when I went back, I only saw two crosses."

As he said, Arthur's voice fell: "Later I found out that a few guys killed her and him for ten dollars. Do you know? It's just ten dollars."

"They were very young at that time, and even she was only nineteen years old. Since then, I have become ruthless. And I also know one thing, that is, you can't do bad things while expecting good things to happen to you."

Speaking of his wife, it is probably a wife and his son. Although he misses him a little, Arthur has become able to accept their deaths.

At least he had been out of that grief for a long time, and after that, he met the woman named Mary Gillis, which allowed him to slowly get out of the haze.

"It seems that you have already walked out of the haze, and at least you should embrace tomorrow?" Wang Xuance said calmly: "Have you ever thought about getting out of the gang? I heard Marie Beth and the others talk about it before. You have another woman you like very much, like Mary Lington?"

"Sheit, why do they say everything outside?" Arthur first angrily squirted, then turned his head: "Of course, I didn't mean that. I also told them specifically not to tell others. I doubt that if I didn't care, the whole United States might know about this in the future."

Although he was speechless about Mary Beth and the others' gossip, Wang Xuance's words still diverted Arthur's attention, at least he was no longer addicted to the past.

"You can actually take Mary Lington away. You know, the United States is very big. Even if you live near a city, as long as you don't commit crimes, you can live your life safely. If you can do some charity, then no one will come to capture you."

What Wang Xuance said is also true. In fact, as long as a bandit gang like them is quieter and not causing too much trouble, there will basically be no government people to arrest them.

Arthur shook his head: "No, I can't leave. Although... although...Duch seems to have made many irrational decisions, I...I can't betray him."

"This is not betrayal, do you understand? You have done too much for him, Arthur, and you have the right to pursue the life you want."

Wang Xuance wanted to persuade him, but Arthur directly interrupted him: "Jason, we are friends. But Dutch saved me and raised me. I will not leave. Although, I know that we may encounter many things next, I will definitely not leave."

Seeing Arthur so determined, Wang Xuance had to shake his head: "Okay, I won't advise you. But if you die, I will bury you in a place you like. Where do you like? Maybe I can help you find your grave now."

When Arthur heard Wang Xuance say this, when he rang out the words he said to Charles and the others when he was in the Horseshoe Watchtower: "If possible, I hope to be buried in a place where I can see the setting sun, so that I may remember the days when my friends were together."

Wang Xuance thought about the scene: "Well, that's really good. Buried on the mountain and looking at the sunset in the distance, this kind of scenery can be said to be quite beautiful. Except for the person buried, it may not be possible to see the accident, and there is nothing wrong with it."

"When someone comes to visit you with graves, you may be able to watch the sunset in the distance together and recall the beauty of the past."

After imagining the scene of Wang Xuance talking about it, Arthur had to say: "It's really good. If you really buried it in that environment, it might be considered perfect?"

As he said that, Arthur himself couldn't help laughing.

Laughing can infect people. When Wang Xuance heard Arthur laugh, he couldn't help but smile.

"Where are you? Jason, where do you want to be buried if you die?" Arthur couldn't help asking. He had contacted some Qing people, and their concept of death was different from the Americans he met.

So he wanted to know what his concept of death would be like if it were Jason.

"Me?" Wang Xuance didn't expect Arthur to ask himself about this, but when it comes to it, he never thought about where he hoped to be buried if he died.

If he died in the original world, he would definitely be buried near the ancestral tomb. However, after he arrived in this world, he had never thought that he would die, and he would not have thought about where he would be buried if he died.
