Chapter 35 Ewing Basin
A few days later, John's injury had stabilized. At least he could speak. Although he still could not exercise vigorously, he could at least get out of bed and walk around.
However, in this weather, getting out of bed and walking is the most uncomfortable thing.
That morning, Wang Xuance got up early and moved his hands and feet. He heard a fighting sound from the male members' dormitory not far away. Daqi, who had just left the house, also heard this sound and quickly walked to the edge of the house.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard Mika shouting inside: "Maybe I don't like being ridiculed by people like you very much."
Seeing this, Duqi immediately shouted: "Stop, what are you doing!"
"You bastards are still having internal strife?! Colm Odrisco is our enemy. Do you want him to find us first and then beat us all?" After Daqi finished yelling at Mica, he looked serious at the others: "Come with me, we have something to do."
"Are you sure? Dutch, a lot of things have happened recently, and no one has recovered." Arthur said to Dutch with a cigarette in his mouth and a heavy face.
"What I don't want the most now is to be attacked by Colm Odrisco. You have to know that it is our common enemy."
"But you said that revenge is the stupidest trick."
"No, he came for us. If we don't take action first, then he will attack us first."
"I don't think so."
"I think that's the case, you're suspicious of me."
"I never doubt you, you know. But you said that revenge is a luxury for us."
"This is the right thing, Arthur, believe me." As he said, he took out a new rifle and handed it to Arthur: "And this is not for the revenge of the old past, you heard that the Odrisco from Adler's farm said to the bastard, that was a train, they had explosives, and if we brought those things over, we could take over their plan."
"Colm's intelligence is often more reliable, so what we have to do is finish the order and then go to a place with the money. We need the money." Dutch handed Arthur a rope, "You may use this."
"So, do you think it's a good time to rob the train?" Arthur was indeed a little reluctant, mainly because they were still on the way to escape and were suddenly robbing the train, which would bring Pinkerton's eyes back to them.
"You may be able to live on deer shit and rabbit urine, but I can't, I'm old, Arthur
Wang Xuance looked at them as they were about to set off and walked towards Duqi: "Hey, Duqi, can I join this plan?"
"Oh, Mr. Jason, are you sure?" Dutch was a little surprised. He didn't know why the bounty hunter wanted to join this robbery. Although the robbery was robbed, logically speaking, the bounty hunter should be out of place with them.
"Actually, you know that I came to track down the fat man from the Odrisco Gang, but the information currently known is that he has disappeared. Most likely, it is in the Droop Ranch, but it is only possible, so I want to go with you to see the old mining camp in the southwest to see what clues there are." Wang Xuance told him the excuse he had already thought of.
Daqi thought about it and felt that adding one person was nothing, so he said, "Of course, as long as you want."
With Dutch's approval, he simply rode his own horse and planned to follow them to the Ewing Basin.
"Mr. Matthews, Mr. Pearson, Mr. Smith, look forward to the camp. There are people from the Odrisco gang nearby. Be careful." Dutch rode on his horse and sat down, and reminded the three men with some combat effectiveness who were left behind.
"Arthur, are you sure it's southwest?" Dutch turned to ask Arthur, wanting to make sure.
"Yes, that bastard is talking about the southwest, at an old mining camp." Arthur recalled and determined where he was waiting for him, "just below the lake."
"If it was there, I think I knew where it was." Wang Xuance followed the two of them on a horse, "I was still camping there, about a year ago."
"Mr. Jason, do you know where?" Dutch was a little happy. "If you can, can you take us with you?"
"No problem, come with me. I know a shortcut and you can go through it quickly." Wang Xuance naturally would not refuse.
He led the group of outlaws to run wildly and arrived at the lake a few hours later. So Wang Xuance stopped: "There are two roads now. One is to pass from the mountain, where you can look down from a high place, and you can see the situation in the basin more clearly. The other road is to go down from the side, but although there are some covers there, there are too many people and you may be discovered."
Dutch looked at the surrounding environment, and then looked at the person who followed him: "Mr. Williams, Mr. Bell, you go down from the left and ambush around their camp. The rest, follow me up the mountain from the right, let's see what's going on below."
After saying that, he led his people to the right mountain, and Wang Xuance followed them up the hillside.
Looking from above, you can see the bottom clearly.
Dudge called Arthur to scout, and the others were waiting under the slope, "Arthur, come with me, let's go over there and see if Colm is here."
"Others, you're waiting here."
Then he asked Wang Xuance again: "Mr. Henry, are you coming?"
He waved his hand to indicate that he was not interested.
So Arthur followed Ducky to the mountain, and the two took out their telescopes and looked at the people below.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "Did you see Colm?" asked Dutch.
"No, but there are many people below. Be careful if you fight later."
"Is that person over there Colm?" Arthur asked, pointing to a person walking over next to him.
"Not sure, I'll take a look." After all, it was a little far away, and there was a little fog, so Dutch couldn't see clearly. However, after Colm approached a little, Dutch was sure: "Yes, yes, it's him."
In the telescope, Colm slapped another person and pushed him away.
"Who is that, Colm looks a little unhappy."
"Yes, he doesn't look too happy, and next, he will be even more upset."
Seeing that Colm had taken some people from the basin in the telescope, Arthur asked: "Do you want to catch him? He didn't have many people, so we can kill him without any harm."
"No, no, no, kill him later, at least after we rob him of his ticket. It is best for him to leave with some people, so that we can rob him of this order more easily." Dutch actually wants to humiliate Colm. It would be better if he could take people to Colm after robbing his order. "If he doesn't know who robs his robbery plan, then it's not fun."
After a while, seeing that Colm had already left, Dutch put away his telescope.
"Let's go, let's meet old friends." Dutch walked down the hill and reminded Arthur: "Don't forget to take that rifle. Although it's not your favorite one, it's enough."
"Others, snipe them on the hillside, and you can find an opportunity to kill the enemy yourself." Dutch took Arthur down from the hill.
"Mr. Van der Linde, if possible, please leave me a living place. I want to know where the fat man is among them." Wang Xuance reminded Duqi, and then thought about it. I guess he might not remember this when the fight started.
"I'd better go with you. If the fight starts, you may not be able to take care of it."
"Of course, Mr. Henry, you go down with us, but be careful, it's very narrow here."
Dutch walked in the front, Arthur followed Dutch, and Wang Xuance was at the end.
Dutch and Arthur were talking to him, but Arthur did not agree with Dutch's robbery plan, because he felt that the most important thing for them at the moment was to escape the pursuit, rather than planning some completely unnecessary robbery plans, and this plan would put them back into the situation of being hunted.
"Duqi, do you really think this plan is necessary? You once said that revenge is a luxury that we cannot afford."
Dutch was a little distracted: "Well, I just don't know you agree with what I said. Arthur, have you lost confidence in me?"
Dutch knew that Arthur had absolute trust in him, and whenever he said this, Arthur would back down.
This time was no exception. Arthur naturally retreated, at least his tone had softened.
"But what we need now is equipment, supplies, and a way to get out of this damn snow mountain. The rest, including Colm, can be said later."
Dutch said it around, "Well, the most important thing now is to deal with the bastards in front of you, let's go and come with me."
When he slowly walked down the cliff from the small path, or even passed some slopes, Dutch also reminded Arthur.
After walking down the cliff, Arthur felt that the atmosphere was really awkward, so he spoke to Dutch and said, "Maybe I should be ahead this time. If I see you, they will definitely shoot you in a concentrated manner."
"Don't worry, they can't kill me, just like those before, I've always had good luck."
"Yes, but that's before, our luck has been bad since Jenny and David died."
"Keep quiet, let's go down first."
Listening to the conversation between Duqi and Arthur, Wang Xuance felt that Duqi had gradually deviated from the track he had designed at the beginning and began to slowly slide in an unknown direction.
