Chapter 2 2 Painkillers Food Deals
"So, you killed half of Strawberry Town just to get revenge and get your gun back?" A magnetic voice asked.

"Not quite, this, I can explain.

Norman the Skinny Monkey and I used to rob banks on the South Side, and his wife, Mattie, was with us before, and they knew a lot about me.This time in Strawberry Town, he was the one who betrayed me, and he brought the police to arrest me, so I had to do it, I had to do it. "

"OK, that's a good reason, but then what? Then you went back to the police station, killed all the policemen, and burned the police station?" The magnetic voice asked again: "Just for a dying person, or Say yes, how much is that gold worth?"

"500 dollars," an elderly voice replied unhurriedly.

"Yes, $500 in gold, where is the gold now?"

"Maybe it's hidden on that person?" Arthur's thick voice sounded, and he also began to boo.

"We've searched carefully. He does have money, but it's not gold, but a coin. It's worth a penny. It's not worth 1 dollars at all," the old voice added. knife.

"..."

Faced with everyone's teasing, Micah wanted to bite back, but looking at Dach who was always on fire, Micah, who was always eloquent, couldn't say a word.

That's right, Micah spent a day and a night in the end, carrying the Huaguo people in the dungeon from Strawberry Town, West Elizabeth, back to the camp at Horseshoe Watchtower in New Hanover.

Arthur felt that Micah might have been stimulated by something in the dungeon in Strawberry Town. He persuaded him all the way, but Micah didn't listen, and he didn't give an explanation.

And Micah was also in a dilemma. It wasn't that he didn't explain, but he didn't know how to explain.

Originally Micah thought very simple:
Bring this Chinese man out of the dungeon, and if there is no so-called gold, shoot him dead;

If there is gold, find it and squeeze out more, and finally kill him with one shot.

As a result, the Chinese man only said two sentences:
In the first sentence, the people in the Strawberry Town Police Department already knew about the gold, but they didn't know the exact location.So Micah dragged Arthur to kill all the policemen he could meet in Strawberry Town, and set fire to the whole police station.

The second sentence, the gold is near your camp.

Then this person passed out, the kind that he couldn't wake up no matter how hard he tried.

Arthur on the side laughed.

Knowing the ins and outs, he was very happy to see Micah being deceived, and he even took two steps back to prevent Micah from splashing blood on him when he shot.

Here Micah did indeed raise the revolver he had just recovered.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the unconscious person on the ground, and the finger was on the trigger. The black barrel trembled, and the engraved letters on it glowed in red: "Vengeance is here by mine!"

"FUCK!"

Micah couldn't pull the trigger in the end.He put the white cap on his head, tied up the people on the ground with ropes and fixed them behind the saddle, regardless of Arthur's surprise, he got on the horse and went straight to the camp.

After a day and a night of tossing, when they returned to the camp, the man on the horse was still alive, which made Mika more convinced of his choice.

"Listen to my explanation, this person must know something..." Micah, who had been on the road for a day and a night, had red eyes from exhaustion, like a gambler whose eyes were red at the gambling table and finally crushed all his wealth:

"He knows me, he knows my gun, he knows my hat, and he knows our Van der Lin gang, but I've never seen him, I swear! You all saw him just now, and no one knew him, so how did he know our?"

Dach just watched quietly without answering, and it was the elderly Hosea Matthew who came out to explain:

"Maybe he has seen our previous arrest warrants? The case in Blackwater Town has had a great impact, and now we still have Detective Pinkerton following us. It's not surprising that this person accidentally saw it and remembered it."

"No, he's different, he gives me the feeling that he should know everything, it's weird. I don't know how to describe that feeling, by the way, he's like those gypsy women, very mysterious .”

"Those gypsy women have balls, the transparent ones, but this person doesn't have them." This time it was Arthur who interrupted, and he followed him on the road all day and night, and he was already impatient.

"I know he doesn't have the goddamn ball, or the goddamn card, but he just damn knows!"

"OK, OK, don't worry, listen to me." Seeing that the two people who were at odds were about to quarrel, Hosea hurried out to smooth things over.

He had seen Micah in this situation before.

After some people are pointed out that they have been cheated, their first reaction is not to regret, but to not accept it.He neither accepts being cheated nor accepts that it is a scam, and what's more, he becomes angry and complains to the person who pointed it out.

Seeing that Micah was red-eyed, Hosea comforted him first: "Isn't this man still dead? When he wakes up, it will be clear what's going on."

"He can't wake up!"

Coming up to speak was Reverend Orville Swanson, Healing and Prayer of the Van der Lim gang, who had just finished examining the man Micah had brought back with Ms. Susan Grimshaw.

"He had whips, cuts, falls, and even wolves and bears; those wounds had never been properly bandaged, and some had festered; my God, his oldest wounds could It dates back to a month ago, and the scabs have already formed; and the most recent wound, it should be that on the way back from Micah, the horse's ass broke two of his ribs."

It could be seen that Pastor Swanson checked very carefully, and Ms. Grammshaw also nodded in agreement.

"For God's sake, Micah, you shouldn't have brought him back. You were torturing the poor man. You should have shot him as a mercy."

"Merciful? If God is really merciful, his servants shouldn't have fallen like you are now." Others Micah might hesitate, but the alcoholic and drug addict in front of him, Micah's poisonous tongue didn't save any face: "Maybe we He should be taken to Valentine, where there are regular pharmacies and doctors."

"I don't allow you to insult my faith, let alone my medical skills! As I said, that person is hopeless."

"It can't be helped? You fucking didn't try to save him at all! You didn't even give him painkillers. FUCK U! Don't forget, those medicines are used to heal everyone, not to make you comfortable alone."

"Enough!" Seeing that there was another quarrel, Dach finally spoke.

"We can't take him to Valentine, you know, it's too obvious. But Micah, I trust your feelings, so:"

"I have an idea! (I have a plan!)"

"I'll let Pastor Swanson heal him as much as possible. If he wakes up, we'll get the answers we deserve. If he doesn't, let's just let this go, okay?"

"Pastor Swanson, I believe in your loyalty to the faith, and even more in your medical skills, otherwise you would not be the only pastor and doctor in the Van der Lin gang. Now, please go and give that poor man some painkillers. It's also a kindness of God, isn't it?"

The leader Dach handled it very well. He not only prevented the quarrel between Micah and Pastor Swanson, but also eased the emotions of the two. Most importantly, he found a step for Micah who was already red-eyed.

Truly the King of Western Ideas.

Seeing that Dach said that, the two of them couldn't continue to argue.Micah found a place to rest, while Pastor Swanson took his thick Bible and began to treat the Chinese man.

Looking at the poor man in front of him covered with wounds, Pastor Swanson first crossed himself on his chest, and said silently: "Amen".

Then he opened the hollowed out Bible and took out the medicine bottle, syringe and tourniquet hidden inside.He first tied the tourniquet to the opponent's arm, then used a needle to draw some medicine from the medicine bottle, then stopped suddenly, thought for a while, then squeezed back some more, leaving a small part, and then aimed at the opponent arm.

"Snapped!"

Seeing that the needle was about to go in, a hand stretched out from the side, tightly grasping the hand of Pastor Swanson holding the syringe.

"Thank you! I don't need this painkiller, you should keep it for yourself."

The hoarse voice reminded me that the person on the ground woke up!
"Oh my God, what a miracle!"

Pastor Swanson made the sign of the cross in shock, while the people on the ground looked at the letter starting with "H" on the label of the medicine bottle, and silently thanked God in their hearts, the fuck was almost stuck!
Who can imagine that the white powder starting with the word Hai was sold as a cough medicine for children after its invention; who can imagine that this thing was classified as a "family health product" in the United States around the 19th century, as a painkiller, Placebos are used; who would dare to imagine that the price of this thing skyrocketed in the United States before and after World War II, not because it was banned, but because the demand soared, and the supply was not in demand!
Yes, the founding of the United States is not long, but the history of the family is "thick" and "rich", and the tradition is "excellent" and successfully "inherited" down.If anyone dares to say that the United States has no history in the future, I will be the first to refuse!
It's a bit much to say, I hope this paragraph can pass.

After shaking off Pastor Swanson's hand, before he could take a breath, the people on the ground were dragged up by Micah who rushed over.

"Mine! Gold! Where is it?"

"Put me down first, cough cough, my stomach hurts, cough cough..."

"Put him down first, we're not in a hurry, Micah."

Dach came along with Arthur and Hosea. He stopped the anxious Micah, and instead of speaking, he looked at the Chinese man first.

What kind of face is this? It is an exaggeration to say that it is pale and thin.The sallow skin is tightly attached to his entire skull, like a skull boiled in a soup pot of hell demons; the eye sockets are deeply sunken, and it is impossible to see where his eyeballs are without careful attention; coupled with his weird hair, The hair on the head was divided into two, the first half was just grown out, a short section of bristles, and the second half of long hair seemed to be chewed by a dog, with long strands and short strands drooping behind the ears.

Even so, the skull is still smiling at himself!
"Hello, Mr. Van der Lin."

Dach didn't respond, but took a crumpled piece of paper from Hosea next to him, and read it:
"Hey Zai, 23 years old, Asian, from the Qing Dynasty, a hired laborer of the Cornwall Railway Company. He was found to have stolen the property of the railway company with his accomplices. He killed the foreman and escaped. The reward is 20 dollars, life or death!"

Hearing Dach read the arrest warrant unhurriedly, another voice also rang in his ears.

"Brother Jin Xi, my name is Dai Ping An, Ping An An An An An."

"Brother Jin Xi, you know a lot. If only I could be like you, I can earn more money and go home to build a big house for my mother!"

"Everyone help, we are all the same, we are all from the Qing Dynasty!"

"Please, save him, he's not dead, really, he's not dead!"

After Dach finished reading, he came back to his senses here, and he smiled, even worse.

"Hehe, the one behind is right, but the one in front is wrong, hehe, my name is not Jin Xizai,

My surname is Dai, and my name is Dai Ping'an! "

"OK, Dai Ping'an, Mr. Dai, can you tell us why you want to get close to us? Otherwise, you have to explain the gold you fabricated to get out of prison."

"I didn't fabricate it. There is indeed gold. Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Dach stopped Micah who was about to rush over, and waved his hand, and soon, a hot stew was served.Dai Pingan was not polite either, he sat up and took the plate and spoon, regardless of the pus and blood that kept coming out of the wound on his arm, he just started to eat like that.

"To the west of your camp, no, to the south, or to the southwest anyway, is there a burned village?" Seeing Mika's face getting darker and darker, Dai Pingan explained while eating: "There is a burned village in the village." The wreckage of the police station, look for it carefully, the gold is buried somewhere in the wreckage.”

Mika turned his head and left. The place Dai Ping'an said was not far from the camp, and they had passed by when they came back.Daqi arranged for two more people to follow up quickly, and then turned to look at Dai Pingan who had finished eating.

"Give him another one." After he finished speaking, he moved a small stool and sat in front of Dai Ping'an. Arthur and Hosea followed suit and sat down.And Dai Pingan talked while eating, not delaying the communication with them at all.

"Mr. Dai, Mr. Death? This surname is very interesting, so can you tell us about your approach to our purpose now?" Dai Ping'an's composure had already convinced Da Qi of the authenticity of the gold, but it made him dislike Dai Ping'an. Laiyi became more vigilant.

"I need a safe place to recuperate, I need food and drink," Dai Pingan snorted, "so I want to make a deal with you, Dutch van der Lin's gang."

"What deal?"

"The gold I gave Micah, 500 dollars a piece of gold, I know there are still ten pieces! You don't need to rob or steal, just follow me and you can easily find the ten pieces of gold.

Please have another one. "

"When my injury is healed and the gold is found, then we'll get three to seven, you seven, and me three." Ignoring the strange expressions of the three of Da Qi, Dai Pingan took the plate and continued eating while saying:

"Of course, you can take them all. After all, you have a lot of people, and you all have guns in your hands. But it doesn't matter. I suggest you, just a suggestion: you can bring me three gold pieces in exchange for three questions.

Thanks, I can't eat anymore, do you have any wine, gin or brandy, or rum? "

"What kind of question is worth a piece of gold worth $500?" Arthur was not as calm as the other two, but he still found a bottle of gin and handed it over according to Dutch's intention.

"Of course it's a matter of fate." After unscrewing the bottle cap, Dai Pingan took a big gulp:

"Ha~ One question heralds the fate of one person, three questions, you can know the fate of three of you."

"I never believed in fate!"

"So you failed to take your widow ex-girlfriend to find a place to live your little life with peace of mind. Instead, you sat in front of me with a bunch of robbers who have today and no tomorrow, and told me that you don't believe me destiny!"

"you!"

Arthur's face changed. He had only received the news of Mary's husband's death for a few days. How did the other party know.At this time, Hosea, who had been silent beside him, spoke:

"Coincidentally, I don't believe in fate either."

Dai Pingan glanced at Hosea and swallowed the last sip of wine.He knew that the other party was trying to trap him, but it didn't matter!
"Another bottle, please." He handed the empty bottle to Arthur, who was in a daze. Dai Pingan looked at the bruises on the other's face that hadn't healed yet: "Did you go hunting two days ago?"

"No" Hosea's expression didn't look like she was lying at all.

"With Arthur?"

"I didn't go hunting."

"When you're older, just stay in the camp. Isn't it good to learn from Uncle?"

"As I said, I didn't go hunting, I went fishing..."

"It doesn't matter whether you hunt rabbits or deer. Why do you insist on hunting bears? It's a famous giant bear! If it wasn't for Arthur, I don't think I would have seen you today." .”

Hosea fell silent.

Dai Pingan looked at Daqi who had been silent in the middle:
"Don't you believe in fate?"

"There's no gold there at all!" Dach didn't say anything, another voice called out first, it was Micah who came back in a hurry:
"Hey, you liar, bastard, bastard, there is no gold in the wreckage of that police station. I searched the whole village and found nothing?"

Mika pinched Dai Ping'an's neck with his hands covered in mud, and pulled him up from the ground. His ferocious and swollen face was pressed against him tightly, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Dai Ping'an.

How can it be?Has the plot changed?
Dai Ping'an was a little panicked, but he quickly settled down.He sniffled, quietly looked at the angry Micah in front of him, and spoke for a long time:
"The deal between us is very simple, you take me to escape from the police station, and I will give you gold, $500 in gold."

"But there is no gold you mentioned!"

"You didn't save me, this is just a deal, a deal you asked me to, please remember this!" Dai Ping'an's tone was calm, but Mika was flustered when he heard it, feeling as if he had lost What's important:

"Now I come out, you get the gold, our transaction is over, we are both settled!"

"I told you, there's no gold there!" Micah insisted.

"Hehe, you know, before I was arrested, I passed by that place and found that piece of gold. It's just that I was in a hurry and didn't take it away. Instead, I buried the gold back and made it by the way. a simple sign.

If you didn't find gold today, where did the smell on your hands come from? Did you just pee on your hands? "

"That was just a joke, I...I..." No matter how thick-skinned Micah was, he couldn't say anything at this time.

Dai Ping'an didn't pay attention to him anymore, but turned his head to look at Dach on the side:

"I remember that the Van der Lin gang seems to have a rule that no matter how much money a member earns outside, they seem to have to hand in half, right?"

Micah's face was even uglier.
