Chapter 27 The Camp at Eagle Beak Peak and the Van der Linde Gang

 Now I am not alone. I can no longer just walk around and lie there like before.

As the saying goes, use the sky as your quilt and the earth as your bed.

Now that a gang has been established, and there are Reina and Aaron who are not familiar with the rules of survival in the wild, following them, then as the eldest brother, I must consider them.

Therefore, a safe and sheltered campsite is a must.

The group climbed over several hills and steep slopes, and soon came to the edge of the cliff they had spotted on the river bank. The view here was good.

Moreover, it is also close to a water source, just a few hundred meters away. If you settle here for a long time, you should not have to worry about food and drink.

Not only that, there happens to be a dense forest behind it, making it difficult to be discovered by passers-by or the police.

It is simply a feng shui treasure land with the right time and right location.

"We are setting up camp here, and I see the mark on the map that this place seems to be called Eagle Beak Peak."

After all, from a distance, it does look like an eagle's iron beak.

Aaron, who came over to look at the map as well, couldn't help but frowned: "Boss, if that's the case, why don't we go to this place?"

"Whether it's the geographical location or the surrounding environment, Horseshoe Lookout seems to be a better choice. It's even close to Valentine, making it easy to replenish supplies."

As a result, before Song Hao could speak, Reina, who was dismounting from her horse to rest, hurriedly shook her head and rejected the proposal.

She explained with a serious face: "Horse Palm Lookout is indeed a good place, but unfortunately someone got there first, and they seem to be a gang."

A somewhat confused Aaron asked, "How do you know?"

"Because when my brother and I escaped, we happened to pass by that mountain peak. We originally wanted to go in to avoid the limelight, but we found that there were already some guys staying inside."

Reina opened her arms in the wind while trying to recall: "If I remember correctly, the man who stayed outside to monitor claimed to be a member of the Van der Linde gang."

The Van der Linde Gang?

Song Hao, who was surveying the terrain, felt as if his brain was electrocuted. He always felt that he had heard of this gang somewhere.

However, even if I rack my brains now, I can't remember the specific details, I just think they sound familiar.

"Forget it, since Reina discovered that there are other gang camps there, it's better for us to try not to conflict with them."

After getting off his horse, Song Hao marked out a camp area and asked Aaron to use an ax to cut down all the surrounding obstructing trees.

Reina, who is delicate and frail, is responsible for keeping watch to prevent the bounty hunters from Strawberry Town from tracking her down, which would cause trouble.

The next second, Aaron, who had just picked up the ax, couldn't help asking: "So boss, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to get our Wildfire Gang's start-up capital back first. I'm afraid things may change over time. I'll take a look at what's going on in the surrounding towns."

Aaron muttered a few words in sudden realization: "Then when will you come back?"

"It should be before tomorrow morning. Anyway, you should be more vigilant tonight."

When riding on the Silver Fang and leaving, Song Hao seemed to have thought of something, so he turned around and handed the pistol to the confused Aaron.

He said earnestly: "Reina is now considered our family, and the responsibility of protecting her rests with you. Don't let me down."

With a smile on his face, Aaron said confidently: "Don't worry, even if the police come, they will definitely get through me first."

After receiving such a positive answer, Song Hao urged his silver fangs to move away in the direction of the setting sun.

Two hours later, he carefully observed the so-called horseshoe lookout across a river, and sure enough he found a few traces of smoke.

"I hope I won't run into you again..."

After muttering a few words, he first rode horseback to the familiar Valentine, which was still filled with the smell of horse manure.

Damn it, no matter how many times I come here, I’m always on top.

Because when Potter the Ripper was captured, many residents of Valentine had seen his face, so he was recognized quickly.

Song Hao hurriedly hissed: "Don't make any noise, I don't want to attract attention, I just happened to pass by here today."

An uncle who sells meat nodded, and did not forget to praise how he had eliminated harm to the people and made a huge contribution.

Then Song Hao asked tentatively: "Is there any big news about Valentine recently?"

The pork dealer thought for a moment and murmured: "Since the hanging of Porter the Ripper, there seems to be only one stupid thing like robbing a bank. I heard that the gangster has been executed."

"By the way, I remember what happened right after you took off."

Song Hao breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. It seemed that the prisoner escape crisis in Strawberry Town had not yet spread to Valentine.

Or it could be that only the police received the news of the prisoner's escape, and those arrogant people are still considering whether to make it public.

"Okay, then I'm leaving. How do you sell this pork?"

"Haha, you are our great hero in Valentine, so I will give you a piece for free."

After saying that, the generous uncle cut off a piece of lean meat and handed it to Song Hao.

The latter could not refuse this intention, so he could only accept it obediently.

Now that even Valentine has not been announced, then Rhodes Town must be safe.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Hao could only rush to Rhodes Town to pick up the iron box and purchase some supplies.

So by the time he arrived under the oak tree with a tired look on his face, it was already approaching dusk, and many crows were hovering in the sky.

They made a squawking sound and refused to disperse.

This is not an auspicious phenomenon.

Fortunately, after digging through the soil with bare hands, the iron box buried under the oak tree was still there, and the gold and bond documents inside were not visited by voles.

"Forget it, it's not easy to come here anyway, so I just stopped by to inquire about the situation."

Song Hao put the iron box into the storage bag of Silver Fang, and arrived at the entrance of Rhodes Town about half an hour later, his expression solemn.

Because compared to the silence of the past, now it can be described as depression.

There were no pedestrians on the street, and the air was filled with a dead air.

Alert, he first rode to the store, where he asked about the supplies he needed, and then claimed that he would take them away in a carriage at night.

"Hey, is there any whiskey?"

The moment he stepped into the tavern, the timid bartender immediately fell down.

Then I found that there was no gunfire for a long time, so I dared to poke my head out to check the situation.

When he discovered that the visitor was none other than Song Hao, whom he had met not long ago, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, you scared me to death."

Song Hao, who thought the other party's expression was funny, pretended not to know anything and sat down on the chair: "I'm wondering why you have become more timid after not seeing each other for more than half a month?"
