Like just arrived at the Horseshoe Watchtower, Dutch brought together all the members of the Vanderlin Gang.

Of course, Mica, who has become a corpse, cannot participate.

No one except Ducky would miss this crazy bastard.

Among them, Bill, who was once ridiculed by Mica for being "brainless", even told other members privately that he really hoped Mica would never come back like this.

The other members agreed unanimously.

Obviously, Mica, a guy who has only joined the Van Delin Gang for many months, has been disgusted by everyone...

After summoning everyone, Duqi first used his personal charm and infectious words as always to boost everyone's morale.

Then he asked everyone to go to the nearby town of Rhodes to find out the news and see if there were any opportunities to make money.

He also emphasized that he would pay attention to any information about the two major families.

That's it, a few days later...

The surface of the iron lake is sparkling under the midday sunshine.

In the center of the lake, on a small boat that had just been "borrowed", Dutch, Hosia and Arthur were holding fishing rods in their hands, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Because the weather is good and the mood is good, Dutch suggested that Arthur and Hosia go fishing together to the lake.

However, the purpose of their fishing is not to fish, but to relive the past.

You know, the Fan Delin Gang, which has now spread its reputation in several prefectures and counties, had only three members at the earliest.

That is, these three people on the boat!

The three of them didn't care whether their voices were alarmed by the fish under the water, but just talked about the past.

Most of them are related to fishing, such as a little interesting story about Arthur:

When Arthur was in his early twenties, he went out to fish and finally brought back three trout.

As a result, the next day, when the three of them went to the market, the fishmonger exposed Arthur.

Only after Dutch and Hosia realized that the three trout were not fished by Arthur, but bought!

Speaking of this story, Arthur was not ashamed at all, but felt that he was very wise to do so:

"It's better to drink wine for a day and grab a few idiots' money to buy fish, which is more efficient."

These words were recognized by Dutch.

"Indeed, you have always been a smart guy since you were."

He reached out and patted Arthur on the shoulder. Dutch suddenly remembered something, and changed his subject:

"After that, I remember we said that Blackwater Town is the easternmost place we have been to, and I mean that everyone has been to the place together."

"It seems that the more we want to go west, the more we finally go east." Arthur complained casually.

"After that operation in Blackwater, we almost searched all the inconspicuous safe places in New Austin, intending to avoid the limelight," Hosia said.

"I like being there, there is still an open wilderness. For some reason, the desert will make you feel closer to the sky."

For Dutch, who ran away from home at the age of fifteen and came to the west to survive, a free life may be the thing he cannot give up the most.

Although going east, the climate and environment are much better than the desert wilderness of New Austin.

However, he still missed the days when he was flying around the west...

However, Arthur's next words brought him back to the cruel reality:

"In a short time, it is impossible for us to go back there. There are Pinkton patrols everywhere on the tall trees and the Great Plains. We saw them when we went back to save Sean."

"Well... the plan cannot keep up with the changes, life is like this. At least we have made some money now and have not been discovered by law enforcement officers. The situation is pretty good."

While he was talking, he pulled the fishing rod casually, but found that no fish had been caught.

Dutch didn't care, just continued to ask:

"By the way, how did the news from the two major families collect?"

As soon as these words came out, Hosia replied casually:

"The two major families have been fighting for hundreds of years, and they can't finish talking about grudges for one day."

"Then let's talk about what we care about."

While staring at the ripples on the lake, Hosia told the information that the gang members had found:

"The Gray family supported the North in the war, so the town's sheriff and law enforcement officers were all appointed by members of the Gray family. They have lived in a manor called the Caliga Mansion for generations, and the tobacco fields in that area are exaggerated."

"As for the Braceway family, the thing they planted was cotton. There was a large manor to the west, and the family's person was a lady named Lady Catherine. I heard that they were doing privately selling wine."

"The high-purity spirits sold in Smith Tavern that cannot be named should be the private brews of the Braceway family," Arthur echoed.

Hearing this, Dutch's eyes flashed through and he touched his chin, "So, Mr. Anos and the Braceway family are indeed in the same group..."

"As for the treasures of the rebels, or gold, there is not much news for the time being, it is just some unfounded rumors."

"It seems that we have to find a way to get in touch with people from two big families..."

While murmuring, Daqi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

...

Before we knew it, it was already evening.

The three of them fished for an afternoon and also had a lot of rewards.

It is worth mentioning that all the fish in the barrel were caught by Arthur and Hosia, and Dutch did not even catch a single fish.

When he went back, since Dutch was the boss and Hosia was the old man, Arthur, who deeply understood that he was a tool man, took the initiative to take on the important task of rowing.

The three of them did not return the boat, but planned to use it as a gang's asset.

After all, it is a basic operation to borrow but not return...

While roaring on the lake, the three of them sang little yellow songs and went straight along the river bank to return to the camp on the other side of the lake.

Hosie had some difficulty picking up the wooden barrel full of fish, and got off the boat first, and Arthur followed closely behind.

And Dutch, who finally got off the boat, looked at the two old guys who were equivalent to his right-hand man and couldn't help but sigh:

"I'm thinking...I think, we... everything will be fine. I know, I've always been very clear..."

"Whenever you two are by my side, things will come to an end successfully."

Upon hearing this, Arthur and Hosia looked at each other, and a look of nostalgia appeared in their eyes.

Yes, the three of them have experienced so many things together and have survived.

There is no reason why it won't work this time!

Turning around and facing the iron lake in the sunset, Dutch spread his arms and said aloud:

"This is a good place for us. At least for the time being."

Looking at the sunset in the distance, Hosia's eyebrows and eyes drooped, and she couldn't help but use the sound she could only hear, murmured:

“I hope so…”
