Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 10, Chapter 10, Gold Hunting Begins and Learning
10,

Dai Pingan didn't know how Dutch would make arrangements for Pastor Swanson, but he knew that it would be impossible to find gold tomorrow.Everyone drank too much, you have a glass and I have a bottle. When Dai Pingan hugged the blanket and found a corner to sleep in a daze, there was no plan to stop at the campfire.

The next day, when everyone got up sleepily from the tent one by one, clutching their hangover heads, Dai Pingan was already enjoying afternoon tea with a box of oatmeal cakes and rum.It was another day of eating and drinking, and his body finally returned to normal. The gauze wrapped around his body had been removed, and Dai Pingan felt a lot more relaxed.

As the last piece of oatmeal cake was swallowed, the man who had the best drinker and was also the last to drink the most—uncle, rolled out of the pile of straw in the middle of the horse herd.

The camp resumed its usual busyness, but the curtain of Daqi's tent was not lifted from the beginning to the end.

On the morning of the third day, Dach finally stepped out of the tent and started shaking people.

He and Arthur will continue to look for opportunities to sell bonds. This time, the leader of the team is still the veteran and experienced Hosea; the main players of the two combat groups: Bill Williamson and Javier Isco With La as the team's guard; together with Dai Pingan, the key figure in the gold hunt, and Micah Bell, who said he would come with him, the gold hunt team of Van der Lin's gang finally set off on the morning of the third day.

The gold hunting team planned to start from the camp and go all the way north. After passing through the Cumberland Forest in the north, they arrived at the Bucks Station at the junction of the two states. After that, they needed Dai Pingan's guidance.

There was news from Valentine's side yesterday that Sergeant Malloy had issued a warrant for the arrest of Dr. Sherman McKinney, who murdered, robbed and absconded with money, with a bounty of up to 200 US dollars.For a time, Pinkerton detectives and bounty hunters flocked to this place for a living.In order to avoid them, the circle that the bounty team had to go around also became larger. Coupled with some unstable factors, the time spent on this gold hunting journey greatly exceeded Hosea's expectations.

Dai Ping'an is the unstable factor.

In a team of five, Hosea took Micah to lead the way, Bill and Javier followed at the end, and Dai Pingan was in the middle.The reason for this arrangement is that Dai Ping'an's riding skills were learned from his uncle yesterday evening!
Dai Ping'an is very talented in learning - this sentence was said by the uncle himself, and no one would believe it except him.

But in many cases, talent cannot replace long-term hard work. When Dai Pingan sat on the saddle, tightened the rein of the horse with both hands, and rode away from the camp with the team, he realized that riding a horse was not as simple as the uncle said. easy.

Dai Pingan rode a brown Andalusian horse.This is a kind of war horse, which is relatively brave and will not be easily frightened. Although it is small in size, it has good maneuverability and is very suitable for long-distance trekking and hunting.

According to the uncle, if you can't even ride an Andalusian horse, then the only species that can be ridden is the donkey.

"Don't worry, the horse I chose will definitely take you through this journey smoothly." This is what the uncle said when he led the horse and drove Dai Pingan around the camp for practice.

It can be said that this is the case, but it is not the case.

When the team of five rode away from the woods near the camp to speed up, the Andalusian horse named "Lover" accelerated and stopped suddenly, throwing Dai Pingan off the horse.

In this way, a journey that was originally planned for one and a half days was abruptly dragged into four and a half days because a certain rider needed to start from scratch and relearn how to ride a horse.When they arrived near Bacchus Station, the dry food was gone.

"Bah!"

A gunshot sounded in the distance at night, and after a while Bill came out of the bush carrying a white-tailed deer. Javier stepped forward with a hunting knife, ready to disembowel and skin the flesh.

This is a wild camp set up on the side of the road. Mika has already built a bonfire and is boiling water, while Hosea is holding a map and examining it carefully by the light of the bonfire.

It was only half a day away from their initial goal—Bacchus Station, and after passing through Bacchus Station and going north, they would leave New Hanover and reach Ambarino State.

Ambarino State is located in the northern part of New Hanover. It is composed of Grizli in the east and west. There are many mountains in the east and snow-capped mountains and ice lakes in the west.The abandoned village of Coulter Village, where the Van der Linn gang hid from the Pinkerton detectives, is just north of Sigrizli.

Due to the steep terrain and inaccessible people in Ambarino State, the only freight railway built close to the southern edge of Ambarino State has become one of the few areas associated with modern civilization.

The gold hiding place that Dai Pingan mentioned before is located at the junction of East and West Grizli, in the valley called Edge of Storm.And to get there, the Bacchus Bridge next to Bacchus Station became the only way for them to pass.

However, according to Micah's road exploration in advance, it was found that a group of road repair workers have settled in Bacchus Station for no reason these days.It is said that they are building roads, but according to Micah's careful observation, every worker is carrying a gun on his body, which is good or bad.

Hosea put down the map, and the sudden appearance of these road workers made him frown, think about it, and finally set his sights on Dai Pingan who was standing on the side.

Dai Ping'an had been standing there motionless for two hours. Not only was he standing, but his arms were stretched straight forward. He was holding two revolvers in his hands. As far as the naked eye could see, he moved slightly trembling.

On his head was an unscrewed wine bottle, which was dedicated by Micah. If the wine bottle fell and the water in it spilled out, it meant that Dai Pingan would not have a drop of water to drink tomorrow.

On his left and right armpits, there is a tree branch in the shape of a 'Y', and the bottom of the 'Y' is sharpened.As long as Dai Ping'an's arm falls, the sharp end of the branch will plunge into the flesh.From the blood-stained traces on both sides of the clothes, it can be seen that the tree branches have been stuck in not once or twice, and these two tree branches were cut out by Javier one by one.

As for the two stones tied under the grips of the two pistols, they were specially selected by Bill from the rocks in the field according to their weight and volume.

This is they are teaching Dai Pingan how to use a gun, and they use two guns. As for this high-standard, strict requirement, and quick-result education course, Hosea specially prepared it for him after a rigorous discussion with the other three. Designed by Dai Ping'an.

All of this was voluntary and asked for by Dai Pingan.And Dai Ping'an only had one thought in his mind, that is, after returning home, he must put the wine bottle on his head into the uncle's mouth completely.
