Chapter 56 Moving into a new home and the legend of the sharpshooter

 At noon, the sound of horse hooves sounded far and near, and everyone in the Wildfire Gang who was still in the Yingzui Peak camp couldn't help but look at each other, looking at the two people who had disappeared for a long time.

Throughout the morning, I couldn’t even see his mother’s figure, so I thought that a bobcat or leopard had snatched her away in the middle of the night...

Turning over and dismounting, Song Hao's expression was quite calm, while John, a rough guy, had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

His abnormal behavior naturally aroused Abigail's suspicion: "I said, you two went to the Valentine's Tavern or somewhere to have fun, right?"

"Especially as a husband and a father, I hope you can remember that God is watching you!"

It’s not very straightforward, but anyone with a discerning eye knows exactly what she wants to express.

John, who was walking towards him, had no choice but to calm down his excitement and said, "Don't get me wrong, Song Hao and I are going to accomplish a big thing."

Abigail frowned: "Big deal?"

"Don't guess, you will never expect it. Anyway, hurry up and pack your luggage in the camp now. We will set off in a minute. I guarantee we can arrive before dark."

A few nonsense words were thrown into confusion. Not to mention Abigail, who thought her husband was out to have sex, even Sadie, who was still practicing her marksmanship on the edge of the cliff, looked confused.

As for Aaron, who was cooking stew in the camp, he came over and said, "Boss, what's going on?"

"I heard what John said, are we going to another camp?"

"Could it be Valentine's police and bounty hunters who discovered this place?"

Seeing that Reina was also attracted by the noise outside, she walked out of the tent in a daze, so that all the members of the Wildfire Gang were gathered.

Song Hao slowly lit a cigarette and cleared his throat: "Gentlemen and ladies, please allow me to announce something worthy of joy."

"From now on, we no longer need to be afraid of the cold or wild beasts, including damn bounty hunters and police."

"Because we're about to move into a house that belongs to our Wildfire gang!"

A faint white light flashed, and everyone who was still in shock did not realize what was going on.

They hurriedly came up to observe the white document in Song Hao's hand, hesitating and hesitating. Even Jack, who was chasing butterflies, clamored to take a few glances.

In the field of vision, I saw that it was a document with blood-red fingerprints printed on it, with dense text descriptions and even legal clauses written on it.

Anyway, the look makes my eyes sore and I don’t want to continue reading.

Until Reina said what everyone was concerned about: "This is the property sales contract for the house, which means we have a home..."

"A real home!"

As a desperado, John didn't understand the meaning. Needless to say, Abigail and Jack also seemed to be wandering forever.

Even after joining the Van der Linde Gang, everyone still has no fixed place to live and can only experience a life of wandering.

Only Sadie, who was standing behind, had tears shining in her eyes:

"I once had a perfect home..."

Because of their high morale, everyone in the camp was working tirelessly to organize supplies, and little Jack was no exception.

Although he brought a wooden pistol that Uncle Aaron had whittled away, it somewhat increased the weight of the carriage.

Before leaving, Song Hao, with a heavy heart, looked back at the place where he once lived and couldn't help but take off his hat and say hello.

John and Aaron around them also followed suit:

"Goodbye, Eagle Beak Peak!"

About two hours later, the mighty team of the Wildfire Gang finally arrived at the place they had been longing for.

Forrest's country house, your own home!

Looking up from a distance, the house with its flawless whitewashed exterior and exquisite elegance looks like a dreamy castle.

If there is any difference, it might be the lack of a few green elves dancing around.

With his eyes fixed on the flowers and plants in the courtyard, the wide-eyed Jack couldn't help but ask: "Mom, can I chase butterflies here?"

"Dear, how do you say this...?"

Abigail, who had just recovered from the shock and hope, didn't know how to answer the child's question.

I still remember that when he was with the Van der Linde Gang, he would always chase after Dutch or Arthur, begging these uncles to take him fishing or hunting.

But now Uncle Arthur has become Uncle Aaron, and Dutch has become Song Hao.

So she didn't dare to jump to conclusions and agreed to Jack's small request on behalf of the gang leader.

As if aware of the stiff atmosphere, Song Hao, who was walking in front, smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is our home."

"Jack can play as much as he wants, but if his clothes get muddy, the person in trouble will be your mother."

"The most important thing is, don't run around."

After receiving such a guarantee, Abigail finally breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Did you hear what Uncle Song Hao said?"

"I don't want to wash your clothes all day, that will tire me out."

Feeling aggrieved, Jack muttered: "I'm chasing butterflies, not rolling in the mud..."

Everyone was amused, and there was a cheerful atmosphere in the air.

Then Song Hao and John were responsible for parking the carriage in the backyard and transporting the heavy camp supplies down.

Sadie volunteered to take over the task of delivering the items to the storage room, and Aaron had no choice but to prepare the first dinner in the new home.

After all, everyone has been busy since noon, so my stomach must have been growling for a long time.

As a result, when he walked into the kitchen, he saw the exquisite tableware on the table, some of which were high-end goods produced in Germany.

I couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

Abigail and Reina looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "Leave all the meals to me in the future..."

After the busy work was over, Song Hao and John, who only felt sore in their backs and backs, stood against the wall outside the house. Looking at the peaceful scene in the house, they couldn't help but feel that it was all worth it.

"You two, you can have dinner later, but don't rest outside for too long, you may catch a cold easily."

Through the window, Abigail added: "Remember to smoke outside, I don't want to smell smoke on the first day of my new home."

"Got it..."

John shrugged his shoulders, showing a helpless expression. In fact, he did not want to bring the smell of smoke to his new home.

In a daze, Song Hao discovered that there was an imperceptible cellar not far away, surrounded by overgrown weeds.

"That's weird, is this cellar included in the contract?"

He muttered a few words, while John, who was following him, had an overall view: "Whatever, since everyone is on the merchant ship heading to Europe, this is our property."

Song Hao thought it made sense, so he didn't continue to struggle. The two of them used axes to break open the rusty iron lock, and a burst of dust suddenly swept over.

It choked the two of them and kept coughing. It seemed that the cellar had not been used for many years.

Maybe they were forgotten by the Parker family...

"John, I'm holding the kerosene lamp. You follow me and remember to load the bullet."

Just as he had this intention, John took out his pistol, and the two of them carefully walked into the cellar with the help of scattered flames in front of them.

Fortunately, after a simple inspection, there are no traces of bobcats or venomous snakes here, only the occasional two gophers scurrying through.

What will happen?

Naturally, I was shot in the head by John, so I can have some extra meat for breakfast tomorrow.

"Wait a minute, Song Hao, do you think this photo looks familiar?"

Faintly hearing the urge to eat coming from inside the house, Song Hao and John were preparing to go out, thinking they would come back to clean up the dust when they had time.

However, the latter's eyes were fixed on an old photo covered with dust.

"Who is this?"

Song Hao, who came closer, took a closer look at the man in the photo. He barely looked handsome, but there was an obvious scar on his eye.

John took a deep breath first, and then explained: "If I guess correctly, this should be the legendary figure, Jack Cooper!"

Song Hao nodded thoughtfully: "Who is Jack Cooper?"
