Chapter 84 About Lemoen Plunderers
Along the way, Wang Xuance introduced in detail to the two of them what he knew about the Lemoen Raiders, so that they could have a rough idea of who the possible opponents were at present.
"However, as far as I know, fewer and fewer people joining them now. In the past, because they were all veterans of the Civil War, their discipline was not very good, but at least they would not rob as much as they are now."
"The guys who join them now are all gangsters and hooligans. Normal people will never join them, so they will do this."
These are Wang Xuance's guesses, but this guess is still very convincing.
"It seems that our lives will be more colorful next." Shady's tone was excited. Since her husband died, she has a clear tendency to self-destruct, so she will feel happy when someone comes to make trouble.
Arthur lamented: "I don't want such a colorful life."
"Haha, I can understand you. If you have a stable life, no one will be willing to lick blood from the knife except those guys who are born outlaws." Wang Xuance replied with a smile.
"Oh, speaking of it, Jason, we have never known you. Although we knew you were a traveler and part-time bounty hunter, you often disappear for a while. Are you the same as Trelawney?" Arthur suddenly remembered something and asked with doubt.
"Of course, if you mind, you need to say it." Arthur seemed to think this was impolite and added another sentence.
Of course, Wang Xuance didn't mind talking about himself: "I came from a distant place, very far away from here. When I landed in this continent, I was in Saint Denis. At first, I was confused, but later I found the opportunity to take the train to Rhodes."
"Roz?" Arthur interrupted. He didn't expect that Wang Xuance had come to Roz.
"Yes, Rhodes, when I first came, I was another sheriff. Later, I heard that Rhodes' bank was robbed, so the sheriff stepped down. It was also the bounty hunter license that the sheriff had applied for me." Wang Xuance took out his license and showed them a look.
"Is this the bounty hunter license? Is this difficult?" Arthur's puzzled face: "I have arrested several prisoners when I was in Valentine before, but I don't have a license."
"In fact, many towns do not check their licenses, but if you show them, they will assume that you are a town license and will deduct 10% of your bounty. If you have an interstate license, you will only take one percent of your bounty."
Wang Xuance took a sip of the cigarette and spit out the smoke rings, and slowly said: "However, now civilization is gradually spreading to the west. Many times, the police station's funds are used to organize the city. The bigger this situation, the more obvious the city."
"In other words, will the bounty hunters slowly decrease? or even disappear?" Arthur said in surprise when he thought of a situation.
Wang Xuance interrupted his fantasy: "It is true to slowly decrease, but disappearing is impossible. Just like light and darkness, as long as one side still exists, the other side will not disappear."
"Tsk tsk, that's a pity." Arthur smashed his mouth and felt very regretful.
Shady continued, "Then what do you think the bounty hunter will become in the future?"
"Bounty Hunter? You may become a private detective in the future. You just need to investigate an affair or find a cat or a dog. Of course, you may also work as a commercial spy part-time?" Wang Xuance thought about the detectives in later generations.
"Tsk, it's really boring." Arthur thought about that kind of life, and was completely unable to adapt to that kind of life.
"That kind of life is actually quite interesting, but for the honest Arthur, it may not be the most suitable one." Wang Xuance teased with a smile.
Arthur's voice sounds very honest, so Hosea often uses this to tease him.
When Shady heard Wang Xuance say that Arthur was honest, he laughed.
"Hahaha, honest Arthur, hahaha."
"Shut up, Shady." Arthur pretended to scold, turned to Wang Xuance and said, "Oh, my god, the honest Arthur, this must be what Hosea told you."
"Hahaha, it was indeed what Hosea said, I think it's very interesting."
"Okay, let it go." Arthur didn't think the nickname was anything, but if someone laughed at it, he would feel embarrassed.
"By the way, Arthur, will you tell Ducky what happened just now?" Shady asked suddenly.
Arthur didn't expect Shady to ask this, and he thought for a moment: "Well, if he asks, I'll tell him."
"What are their names? Lemoen Raiders?" Shady thought for a while: "Why did they take this name? Are they not civil war veterans?"
"They are soldiers from the south, not from the north. They have always believed that the slave owners of the south betrayed them. So they wanted to regain their rights, so they called this name." Wang Xuance corrected Shady. After all, the South and the North were enemies at that time. Until now, the landlords in the south still looked down on the capitalists in the north and believed that they were both nouveau riche.
"I've met them before, and I thought they had some special hobbies. They were playing the role of soldiers, but they didn't expect they were really civil war soldiers?" Arthur remembered that he had met them before, and at that time he thought they were playing role-playing.
"Yes, but they probably won't last long. It's almost the 20th century now. There are fewer and fewer people who still stick to the same trick during the Civil War. I guess when I wait for some time, the rest will be all rogue bastards."
Wang Xuance knew that if these gangs did not change, in the end they would be just a bunch of loose sand.
In the end, for various reasons, the gangs and others will either return to ordinary people or go to the police station to participate in various labor. After all, many prisons in the United States are privately owned, and the labor of prisoners can be arranged to recover the cost of prisons.
"Is that true? It seems that the gang's ending will not be very good." Arthur sighed, wondering if he thought of the future of the Vanderlinder Gang.
"It's really not good. Generally speaking, if you can't whitewash it in time, it means you will definitely be liquidated." Wang Xuance looked serious, "You must find a way to whitewash it, otherwise..."
"Maybe." Arthur was feeling a little depressed when he heard the whitewash. After several months, he had discovered that the Vanderlinder Gang was uncontrollable and fell into the abyss, while Dutch seemed to have no idea to stop him.
Even Dutch is speeding up the process.
When he was about to arrive at the camp, Arthur could already see the smoke rising from Pearson's stew.
"By the way, don't laugh at him about that letter."
"I can't even think about how dare you laugh at him." Shady's tone was exaggerated like a comedian. Everyone could hear that she was joking.
Arthur could also hear Shady's sarcasm. If he didn't stop him, he might be able to see them fighting when he returned to the camp, or he could see Pearson or Shady's body lying on the ground the next day: "Yes, you dare not."
"'I traveled all over the world and established a great reputation for myself'." Shady continued to repeat the words in Pearson's letter in an exaggerated tone, which sounded extremely funny.
Arthur was speechless: "Oh my god, it seems that you can't get in touch with the job of sending letters recently."
"I just want to read your diary. It's an incredible thing."
"No, don't even think about it. I won't hand over my diary to someone else."
"A serious person can't write any diary. Shadi, can you write a diary?" Wang Xuance suddenly remembered a joke in his previous life when he heard them talking about diaries.
Shady didn't know why he said that serious people could not write diaries, but she still said: "I can also write diaries and record every day."
Wang Xuance was a little uncomfortable with their habits: "Okay, it's okay."
"What a strange guy." Shady complained.
It happened to be the camp, and Arthur parked the carriage beside Pearson's kitchen. Pearson, who was cooking, heard the sound of the carriage. As he looked, he saw Shady who jumped out of the carriage: "Ah, Mrs. Adler, you are not dead."
The two had a conflict over some things before, so they were both angry.
However, after Shady's big kill just now, the anger in her heart was almost vented: "Oh, it's still early to die."
"I originally wanted to say that I miss your elegant conversation quite a bit, but that's just a self-deception."
Even though he said so, Pearson's tone was different from before, at least it became peaceful.
Wang Xuance jumped out of the car and began to help carry things.
"Mr. Pearson, it seems that although you don't get along very well, you can get along at least, right?" Wang Xuance smiled and said a few words to Pearson, and then continued to move things.
"Just now, I had a great time, so I don't care about your rudeness." Shady was also busy carrying things in class. You know, before, she and Pearson had a big argument over logistics reasons.
As for Arthur, of course, he stood by and watched the three of them move things. He was a fighter in the gang, so he would help do something unless there was really no one. Usually, he would keep his guns or chat and drink with others.
"Yes, we just now, well, but Mrs. Adler did a great job."
