Chapter 64: Participating in the robbery for the first time
Both of them saw the guy sneaking around the shack, so they stopped the carriage in the distance. After getting off the car, they quietly approached the shack, wanting to know who was here and what he wanted to do.
Wang Xuance looked at the figure in the distance, she was thinner and clumsy, and she didn't look like a desperate.
He gestured to Arthur, indicating that the two of them would encircle and capture each other alive to see who it was.
Wang Xuance quietly circled around and touched the figure behind. Seeing that Arthur was already in place, he gestured to Arthur and made him make a sound.
Arthur saw Wang Xuance's gesture and whistled.
After hearing the whistle, the figure stopped immediately and then made a tilt action, as if he wanted to know where the whistle sounded.
Seeing that the sound of the shadow became quiet, Wang Xuance quietly took out the rope, and when he couldn't react, he quickly threw him to the ground, and then skillfully tied his hands together.
"Who are you!!" The shadow exclaimed, and then began to struggle constantly.
Wang Xuance felt that the voice sounded a little familiar, but before he could think too much, he saw the tied guy shouting to Arthur: "Hey, British guy, why are we tied me? Are we not the same group?"
Hearing the tied guy shouting, Wang Xuance turned him over, and then saw a familiar face: "It turns out it's you, your name is Sean, right?"
"Oh oh oh, look who this is, poor Sean, I didn't expect you to be tied up again, but this time I wasn't hanging upside down on the tree, I'm so lucky." Arthur teased, "Jason, loosen him, this poor guy will always be tied up."
"Sheit, I'm not always tied up. This time I'm just you attacking me, otherwise I wouldn't have been arrested so easily." Sean tried to argue.
After releasing Sean's ties, Sean began to pester Arthur, wanting Arthur to agree to him join the plan.
"Hey, Arthur, I'm very strong, you know, I'm very strong, and I'm very obedient, right? No matter what you ask me to do, I'll rush up the first time." Sean shouted from Arthur.
"OK, OK, boy, I know you are very capable, but now, you are waiting here, I still have something to do. As for whether you can join in, let me think about it."
After Arthur finished speaking, he turned to Wang Xuance who was leaning against the side to smoke and said, "I'll go find John, are you going to be with me?"
Wang Xuance looked at the time: "Are you sure? John must be asleep now."
"Of course, it took me a whole day to get this tanker. When he fell asleep, I would lift him up." Arthur certainly knew what time it was, but he still insisted on notifying John now.
"Okay, go, I'll wait here." Wang Xuance felt that it was so late now and didn't want to make trouble anymore. Moreover, Arthur, a sharpshooter, should not be in danger, so he just waited here.
"Sean, what about you? You are still waiting with Arthur here." Wang Xuance took out a pack of cigarettes and threw it to Sean.
Sean looked at Arthur, then looked at Wang Xuance, "I'd better wait here."
When Arthur heard Sean's words, he simply rode his horse and prepared to return to the horseshoe watchtower to notify John.
But before leaving, he asked Sean to do something: "Sean, go and drive the tanker over, right next to the woods over there."
Hearing Arthur's words, Sean was very happy that letting him do things means agreeing to join the plan.
Wang Xuance observed the burned shed. He remembered that there were fifty dollars under the shed in the game. It just so happened that it was fine, so he could go and get it.
Wang Xuance walked to the ruins and saw an entrance to a basement next to the burnt closet.
Just as he was about to go down, Sean happened to drive the carriage over.
"Jason, there is nothing below, so I don't need to go down. I was curious about what was below, but I searched it all, but I found nothing." Seeing that Wang Xuance seemed to want to see what was below, Sean simply stopped it.
Because he had indeed searched the table and cabinet below before, there were only a few packs of cookies, and the cookies were no longer able to eat them due to moisture and other reasons.
"Really?" Wang Xuance stood on the ladder and asked.
"Of course it's true. I did turn over the entire basement." Sean said in a sure tone.
Wang Xuance thought for a while: "Then do you know what these names carved on the wood are about?"
"Name? What's the name?" Sean was confused. He remembered that he didn't see any name when he was checking the basement.
Wang Xuance said speechlessly: "It seems that you said you have flipped through all the cabinets, but you must have not searched them carefully."
Sean did not refute, because he had indeed not searched carefully. He just flipped through all the cabinets and table drawers. He didn't look at other places, so he did not find any names engraved in various places.
Wang Xuance only remembered that the money was hidden behind a wall brick in the basement. As long as he took the wall brick away, he could get the money. However, because he forgot the specific location, he could only explore one by one to see if he could find it.
Wang Xuance, who went down to the basement, soon saw the various cabinets that were being turned over. These were all turned over by Sean. It was obvious that Sean did not find anything useful.
He even pushed down several cabinets and vented his anger that was in vain.
Wang Xuance did not look at the cabinets and tables that had been turned over, but slapped brick by brick along the wall.
In an hour, Wang Xuance was almost giving up. After all, fifty dollars were dispensable to him, but now, the cost of sunk is too high, and Wang Xuance is reluctant to give up.
It mainly took so long. If you continue to search, you might find it at any time, but if you give up directly, it means that the time you spent before is a waste.
Moreover, Wang Xuance is very sure that the money must be here, and it is not the kind of sunk cost without goals. If it were the case, I would give up if I gave up, but the situation is different now.
After waiting on the top for a long time, Xien saw that Wang Xuance had not given up yet, so he took out a cigarette and started smoking. With the quiet atmosphere at night, he was already a little sleepy, so he simply took out the bedding and lay on the ground.
When he really wanted to rest, he heard Wang Xuance's voice coming from below: "Sean, I found something."
Sean heard the sound, got up from the bedding, and then went up and down the ladder to the basement.
"God, Jason, what did you find?" Sean saw Jason holding an oil lamp in a corner of the basement. He was standing by the wall and taking something out of the wall.
Wang Xuance handed the lamp to Sean and took out a cloth bag from the hole in the wall.
"Let's go up and see what we've gained this time." Wang Xuance asked Sean to walk in front and follow behind himself, and then climbed out of the basement from the ladder.
He remembered that there was also an accessories in the closet online, so he reached out and took it out to see if there was nothing in it, but compared to the basement, it could be said that it was empty and nothing.
After walking to the open space next to him, Wang Xuance opened the cloth bag, which contained more than a dozen pieces of money of various denominations, which together cost fifty dollars.
Take out half of it and hand it to Sean and say, "Give it to you, Sean, this is your share."
Sean took the money at a loss. After all, in his opinion, he had no contribution at all. There was no reason to get the money, but this was twenty-five dollars, which was enough for a lower-level worker to work for a month.
Seeing that Xien was a little hesitant, Wang Xuance said, "Although this money was not found by you, you have ruled out some wrong answers for me, right? So you can take this money. I am not short of this money."
Seeing that Wang Xuance was sincere and firm, Sean no longer hesitated and stuffed the money into his bag.
Although he was not familiar with Wang Xuance before, after this incident, Sean also knew that Wang Xuance was a rich guy and very generous to his friends, so he also smiled at Wang Xuance when he took the money.
After this incident, the relationship between the two also improved, at least in Sean's eyes, his favor for Wang Xuance was simply beyond the sky. After all, everyone wants to have such a generous friend.
"Jason, what did you do before? You don't look like a gang member, but you have a good relationship with most people in the gang." Sean lay on his bedding, looking at the stars in the sky, and was a little curious about Wang Xuance's identity.
"Didn't Arthur tell you?" Wang Xuance also looked at the dazzling stars in front of him. In later generations, such starry sky was rarely seen. "I am a traveler, and I am also a bounty hunter who is interested."
When he heard Wang Xuance say that he was a traveler, Sean wanted to ask where Wang Xuance had been, but then he heard Wang Xuance's words, and there was a very scary word for him: Bounty Hunter.
"What? Are you a bounty hunter?" Sean was so scared that he pulled out his pistol.
Wang Xuance was no longer surprised. Even if Sean pointed his pistol at him, he could shoot the pistol before Sean fired, so he didn't care about Sean's actions at all.
"Arthur knows it too, even Dutch Hosea and others know my identity, and I have said that I am just a bounty hunter who is interested." Wang Xuance turned around and put his palm under his head. "When I first arrived in the United States, I didn't have any identity. I happened to meet a pretty good guy. He registered me as a bounty hunter, and I have always served this identity since then."
