Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 170 169, Bitter and Spicy Cigarettes
169,

"He may have guessed our purpose."

"It's not possible, nor is it guessed, it's already known."

"Then you still change the plan for him? Just because of that college in St. Denis?" Arthur was still a little bit aggrieved.

"Yes, because of the Law School of Saint Denis."

Taking off the gold-rimmed glasses that had troubled him for a long time, Dai Pingan answered while rubbing the bridge of his nose.

The night had fallen for a long time, but the town of Armadillo outside the police station did not remain silent.Under the high-hanging lanterns, there was a continuous stream of hawking, and the sales of many things increased sharply because of the disappearance of the sun.

For example, bottles and cans full of various drinks carried out by wine dealers; jeep cars that are said to be for divination business, but are always shaking; The irritating shout broke through the sky even more.

Looking down from the Hennigan Heights cut off by the mountain road, the brightly lit Armadillo Town is like a pearl that should not appear on the dark land, but more like a burning wildfire spreading wantonly in the desolate desert.

Maybe it was because the sound insulation effect of the wet towel was good. Even though other prisoners were being interrogated inside, the alley between the police station and the prison, which was only one street away from the bustling market, was exceptionally quiet at this time.

"Then we just let him go?"

"Sheriff Yake,"

Dai Ping'an looked back at Arthur, who was still puzzled. Losing the cover of the glasses, those seemingly calm eyes seemed to have regained a bit of treachery:

"You seem to be jealous of others."

"Hmph, how is it possible."

Of course Arthur couldn't admit it.

In fact, it can't be regarded as jealousy at all. After years of education by Hosea and Daqi, Arthur has no problem with reading and writing. No matter where he is, he is a rare cultural person.It's just that Dai Pingan hastily changed the plan for a young man, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

"Take it easy, Mr. Sheriff."

Dai Pingan was not in a hurry to explain, but lit a cigarette for the two of them first, and after enjoying the momentary relaxation, the red dot on the cigarette butt gradually dimmed, and the smoke that he exhaled flew away with the night wind , he slowly raised the corner of his mouth:
"Reading is not the same as studying. You can only be called illiterate. Our educated police officer Fillian is a truly literate talent."

It's hard to hear, but it's the truth, but Arthur didn't get angry immediately because of it, but stared at the other side, making Dai Pingan unable to continue laughing.

"Don't look at me like that, am I wrong?"

"You are very correct, I just want to know what is behind your smile," Arthur Morgan looked at Dai Ping'an very calmly:
"You've only been wearing this suit for a day, do you want me to erase the memory of your blood-stained hands, murder and arson?"

"It's an image problem."

"Image? What image? Police advisor? I'm still a deputy,"

Arthur almost laughed out loud:
"The outfit you are wearing now is neither like Dutch nor Mr. Strauss, but you are more cunning and ruthless than both of them in your heart. You can hide it from others but not from me."

"Mr. Strauss is..."

"Leopold Strauss, the Austrian accountant in our Van der Lin gang, don't say you don't remember him anymore, and don't try to change the subject, are you trying to drag someone into trouble again?"

"What is dragging people into the water?"

Dai Ping'an's eyes widened, and he looked at Arthur Morgan in front of him with indignation:
"I just want to give young people a chance to show their talents, don't think so bad of me, okay."

While talking, Dai Pingan tidied up his clothes, and wanted to put back the gold-rimmed glasses stuffed in his pocket, but found that he just took a puff of cigarettes. Fortunately, not only the glasses were out of shape, but even one of the lenses was broken. Broken into two pieces.

"Fuck!"

Dai Pingan cursed viciously, but the next moment, he laughed harder than Arthur on the side.

The two of them laughed happily and had a tacit understanding. Even though tears were pouring out, their voices were still suppressed, and they didn't disturb the people inside.

Like a cigarette in your mouth, the short-term relaxation will always burn to the end in the blink of an eye.

"Don't worry, a police officer who doesn't even like the sheriff is promoted overnight as an assistant sheriff, and still has double salary. What do you think other people who are incompatible with him will think?"

Flicking the cigarette butt, Dai Pingan put the deformed glasses back into his pocket:

"From tonight on, no, from that moment on, his every move will be watched by others, but if there is something wrong with him, it will attract the attention of others. Whether it is Armadillo Town or us, we need A talent like him, he is a smart man, and a smart man knows how to keep himself alive."

"Then what if he doesn't listen?"

"Disobedient, hum." Dai Pingan sneered: "Do you know why we are not as educated as others? Because we are poor."

"It is difficult for ordinary people to even go to school. He actually graduated from the Academy of Saint-Denis, which shows that he is not ordinary rich. If he is disobedient..."

"Then tie him up and squeeze out the last bit of value from him." Arthur Morgan took the conversation and continued:

"Advisor Ann and Sergeant Yake are good people, but Dai Pingan and Arthur Morgan of the Van der Lin gang are wanted criminals."

"Yes."

Dai Pingan nodded in agreement, but did not continue, so the dark alley between the police station and the prison fell into silence again, and this silence lasted for a cigarette.

"I saw Mr. Matthews the other day."

Arthur was the first to break the silence.

It has been a week since Hosea brought Charles to Armadillo Town. Perhaps because of some unhappiness in the past, he didn't go directly to Dai Pingan.But Bill led Major Milton's cavalry to guard the border, and Javier had to lead the disabled Howling Wolf Gang to rest, so the only person he could see was Arthur Morgan.

This time it was Arthur's turn to light a cigarette for Dai Pingan:
"Thank you very much for the money, which allows them to have the capital to settle down in Rhodes. Daqi and the locals have partnered to run a company, making a lot of money, and there are a lot less messy things. Hosea and the others Then I have time to come out to relax and take a look at us."

Dai Pingan smiled, and took a puff of the lit cigarette. I don't know if it was a different brand, but this cigarette was obviously more bitter.

"How did he say?"

"He asked us to stay and help you."

Through the layers of smoke, Dai Pingan nodded again:

"That's good."

What a shit!
Hosea is not some kind of eminent monk, knowing when his time is approaching, so he ran from Rhodes Town in Lemoyne to Armadillo Town in New Austin to see Arthur for the last time and stay with him. A few words to explain the funeral.

The old guy gave his whole life to the Van der Lin gang. Something must have happened to Van der Lin's gang, and it must have happened to Daqi himself, which made him torment his old bones like this.

As for letting Arthur and the others stay and help, it means that although this matter is not urgent, it is very difficult. Even if he can successfully bring Arthur, Bill and Javier back home, he is not completely sure that it can be resolved. Daqi's matter, that's why he made the same choice as Yan Xiaoguo.

This is not an early bet, it is Hosea who needs Dai Pingan, and after the success of Armadillo Town, Dai Pingan is strong and strong.

At the same time, He Xiya knew how troublesome this matter was, and Dai Pingan would refuse it, and he was not like Yan Xiaoguo, who could get 63 Qing athletes who sold their lives as goods.That's why he was looking for it, and only for Arthur Morgan.

Think of the Van der Lim Gang as family, and Dutch Van der Lim as his older brother Arthur Morgan.

I took two puffs of cigarettes in a row, and the more I smoked, the more uncomfortable I became:
"Hosea, no, Mr. Matthews, did you say anything else?"

"Mr. Matthews said that Daqi's company is progressing smoothly and there are enough manpower. Mary and I will take care of our health first, and we are not in a hurry to go back. If..."

The same cigarette, the same smell, Arthur was also smoking heavily, without any expression on his face, but the hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly:
"Mr. Matthews said that if Mary is willing, we can get married here directly, and we don't have to go back."

If you can't solve the problem, you don't have to go back.

Arthur is not a fool, he can think clearly about the things that Dai Pingan can understand, even if Hosea didn't say it directly.

It's useless to say it, if it's useful, he should be on the way back to the Van der Lin gang now, instead of staying here as a sheriff of Yake.

"..."

It was only then that Dai Pingan realized that the cigarette that Arthur handed over was not only bitter, but also spicy. The spicy energy went all the way up from the lungs and reached the top of the sky.So much so that Dai Pingan held his head and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Arthur didn't speak either, but just waited quietly until the cigarette butt in his hand burned to the end.

"Alright, if you don't go back, don't go back. Anyway, I don't want to go anywhere."

Spitting out the burning cigarette, Dai Pingan showed a helpless but ugly smile at the ashen-faced Arthur:

"It's not that easy!

After passing the current level, if we can't die, we have to help Yan Xiaoguo find that shit princess back.Hehe, I don't even know where to look for it. When I pass by Lemoyne, I might have to ask Mr. Dutch's company for help. "

For some unknown reason, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the chaotic movement broke the oppressive silence in the alley. In an instant, Arthur, who was shaking his cigarette butts, also came to life.

"Thank you."

"Don't worry, let's talk about it when we live to that day." Dai Ping'an stretched his waist, shook his head and walked outside:
"I'll leave the outside affairs to you. I just want to sleep well tonight. I don't want to worry about anything else. Good night!"

While talking, Dai Pingan walked out of the dark alley, and then in Arthur's good night behind him, he saw Huang Feihong kick him over.
