176: Chase

Dust returns to dust, and earth returns to earth.

When dawn comes, God's people will meet Jesus.

Amen!!

Along with the sound of prayer, another team member ascended to heaven.

He is a hunter. Lin Yao didn't know what he was called, but he only knew that he liked to collect insects. Many people called him Dr. Insects.

He struggled to come to the boat, but unfortunately he was penetrated by a stray bullet.

Everyone couldn't save him, so they could only watch him die.

Twelve people.

There are twelve people left to live, Lin Yao, boss Henry, Gerald, Grass and his son Hawk, Taylor and his nephew William, plus two cobblers and three hunters.

In addition, there are 20 bundles on the ship, totaling 600 leather pieces.

There were 50 bundles before, and in order to reduce the weight, they had to abandon 30 bundles.

Fortunately, the remaining 20 bundles of fur are all the furs that cherish the animals.

In the words of boss Henry, these 600 pieces of skin are worth at least 10,000 US dollars, which finally brought them some comfort.

But soon, hope turned into despair again.

From some point on, the figures of Kerry began to appear in the jungles on both sides of the river. They rode their horses and chased the rafts on the river, obviously not intending to let them go.

"Boss, there are Kerry people on the shore. They want to kill us. What should we do?"

Taylor held a brand new, newly launched Mauser 1888 bolt-moving rifle, and his face was full of worries.

Henry didn't have a good idea either. He turned to look at Grass and spoke, "Glass, you are the most familiar with this area. What do you think we should do?"

"The river is not safe, our raft cannot shake the Kerry people, and when we enter the narrow river, we will definitely be attacked by them."

"If you want to survive, you can only abandon the boat and go ashore. If I remember correctly, there is a rapids bay five kilometers away. From there, from there, it is the Seer Mountains in the population of Kerry."

"This mountain range, which stretches northward, is smooth enough, we can walk through until we leave the reserve."

Grass is not only a hunter, he also has an identity as a guide.

He was one of the few people who were most familiar with the reserve except the Kerry. If someone could lead them to avoid the Kerry's pursuit, this person would be Glass.

"Do you abandon the boat and then carry a 60 or 70 kilogram leather to play with the Kerry in the mountains?"

Gerald was the first to object. He pulled Henry's arm and said in a deep voice: "The skin is too heavy, we can't walk through the mountains and forests with them, let alone throw away the Kerry's pursuit. I suggest that everyone continue to take a boat. The Kerry has no boat, so they can only watch us go downstream and leave the reserve."

For a moment, everyone's eyes looked like they were waiting for Henry's decision.

Henry's face changed again and again, and after a brief struggle in his heart, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Listen to Grass' arrangement, he will take us out safely."

"What should I do if I do that? How heavy do you carry it? Do you think we can beat the Kerry horses in the mountains and forests with fur?"

Gerald did not give his boss face, and he thought his idea was right.

Going up the mountain is simply to die. Instead of going to die, it is better to stay on the boat and fight hard. Maybe you can find a way out on the water.

"Glass is very familiar with the environment of the reserve and believes that he is the most correct choice at the moment."

Henry paused slightly and said, "As for skins, we can hide them, and when it is safe and the weather is getting colder, we will send people back to get them. The Kerry hates the cold and will live further south in winter. If they think we are leaving and will not come back, they will definitely relax their guard. This is our opportunity."

"Oh my God, hiding the skin is so simple! We are just under their noses. How do you say hide it? They will give me two hours to dig holes and then hide the skin under the ground?"

"The Kerry is not that stupid. Doing this is equivalent to giving up these sluts."

"Henry, you are the boss, I shouldn't have spoken loudly to you."

"But please tell me, if you can't get these skins back, what will you pay us?"

"Your entire value is lost in this hunting operation. If you don't have any shame, you will lose everything. We have been in vain in the past few months."

Jelas kicked the fur tied together hard and cursed viciously: "Damn the Kerry people, all of them should go to see God, and the council masters who were assigned to the Kerry people's reserves should be shot!"

"Enough, Geras!"

Henry was in a bad mood. He was the boss of the fur company. People like Jeras just worked for him.

Don't he know what would happen if he loses his skin?

It's clear, but he has to do it because life is more important than fur.

"We must be united and don't always think about shameless things. Do you want shameless or die?"

"Fate? Tell me what life is. I am a bad life. These skins are the only way out for my life. What life will I have if my skin is gone?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Gerald took a few deep breaths: "I owe $2,000 in the casino. If I can't afford this money, they must be happy to kill me. What's the difference between dying at the hands of the casino owner or at the hands of the Kerry?"

Like Taylor, Gerald is a captain-level figure, managing the hunting team and the cobbler respectively.

They not only had an employment contract with Henry, but also had an additional share agreement, which added up to a large sum of money.

Without shame, Henry would go bankrupt and his money would be wasted.

After returning to the town, the tax collector of the casino came to him, but he didn't care whether he threw away the priceless fur in order to survive, and he would still take his life.

"Save some energy to cross the mountains, it will greatly increase our itinerary. If you want to leave the reserve, it will take at least two weeks."

Glass' cold opening put an end to the dispute.

In the next half hour, the atmosphere on the boat was terrifyingly quiet. Everyone sat on the boat, hugging the hunting rifle in their hands, and no one could be sure whether they could survive.

When Lin Yao arrived here, he could basically confirm that the plot he was in was the Wild Revenant.

Because the topic of being mean or being deadly is impressive in the plot, it is one of the few clips that left him a deep memory.

Without saying a word, Lin Yao stroked the hunting rifle and tried hard to recall the plot of the hunter in the wilderness.

It was too long, and he didn't take it seriously when watching movies, so there were not many things he could recall.

I just vaguely remember that the Kerry people chased the protagonist and his group, which was not just for the sake of superficiality, but also had deeper problems.

A group of fur merchants in France secretly kidnapped the daughter of the Critain leader.

The reason is that the Kree tribes reduced their share, replaced their position with a new fur merchant, and did not intend to provide them with fur anymore.

In order to retaliate and to create conflicts between the Crystals and Montana, and to isolate the Crystals, they planned this operation.

After his daughter disappeared, the chief discovered the Henry Chamber of Commerce's monograph at the scene.

He naturally believed that it was the hunting team who kidnapped his daughter, so he attacked their camp.

Fur is not the fuse of this dispute.

Of course, although Lin Yao thought of some plots, he found that this would not help the current situation.

The chief would not believe their words, or even believe them. He had done everything he should do. Could he let them go?

That is impossible. Only by killing them all and then shirking away the killing of them was because they violated the rules, which could block the mouths of the great masters in the parliament.

We will never let them go out alive and spread everywhere, adding more trouble to the already tense situation.

"Glass, how is Hawke's injury?"

Seeing that the Rapids Bay was about to arrive, Henry suddenly asked Hawk.

Glass was stunned for a moment, and soon thought of what Henry was asking, and said, "It still has some impact, and it is difficult to make a long journey across mountains and rivers."

"What are you going to do?" Henry asked.

Grass fell silent and shook his head after a long time: "I don't know."
