Chapter 29, 29, the orchard, the sniping and cursing Hosea

29,

Hagen Orchards grows not only oranges but also tangerines.

This month, when the late-ripening oranges are ripe, small golden-yellow fruits are dotted among the green leaves, enjoying the baptism of rain.The hot and humid climate of the Black Marsh makes the oranges grow big and sweet one by one. As long as the rain stops, they can be picked and taken to the market for money.

However, at this moment, these oranges that are about to be harvested have become targets for soldiers to practice marksmanship.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

With the continuous sound of gunfire, one after another sweet and juicy, plump oranges burst continuously in the heavy rain, which became a fun for the cavalry who hid from the rain under the eaves to pass the boring time.

The owner of the Hagen Orchard is a black family, otherwise they would not have risked being attacked by crocodiles all the time, hiding in this deserted black swamp to grow fruit.

As the owners of the orchard, an old couple is kneeling in front of their house with their son, enduring scolding under the pouring rain.They knelt quietly, not daring to raise their heads, and not daring to argue.And the person who scolded them was the leader of these cavalry, the officer who had just greeted Hosea.

A piece of worthless furniture was thrown out of the house by the soldiers. Because nothing of value was found, the officer became even more angry and scolded louder.

A half-eaten orange hit the old black woman hard in the face.The old woman's son couldn't take it anymore, he stood up angrily, and loudly defended something, which scared the old woman next to him and stopped him quickly, but it was still too late.

The gun butts, fists and feet were beaten down, and they didn't stop until the three of them were dying.The officer stood under the eaves and spit on the three people who couldn't move.

"You ungrateful bastards!

We got you niggers out of those southerners' whips, we set you free!I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful that you couldn't even fulfill a little request.You gang..."

The officer continued to scold, and Dai Pingan in the woods to the east also took off the Carcano rifle on his back. He pointed the sight of the scope at the officer's head, and just as he was about to pull the trigger, he stretched out a hand to stop it. over him.

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing Dai Ping'an jumping off the car suddenly, Hosea knew something was going to go wrong, but luckily stopped him at the last moment.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you can solve so many cavalry with just a few guns? Do you know how many people are following behind us? Do you want us to die with you?!"

"Do you think you're really helping them? Now all they've lost are a few oranges, and they'll be fine after being beaten. But if your gun is fired, unless you can kill all the cavalry at once Kill them, and then destroy the corpses, otherwise they will be hanged here by their accomplices as murderers."

"You can't help them, and no one can help them. Children who want to be heroes, we are gangsters, not heroes."

"Welcome to America."

The wheels rolled, and the carriage continued to move forward. Dai Pingan had been dragged back to the carriage by Hosea for quite a while, but he was still thinking about the words Hosea had just taught him.

He felt that he was really drifting away. With the strong support of Yan Xiaoguo and the planning and actions of Hosea and the others, he escaped from St. Denis in a thrilling manner.This kind of adventure stimulated him, and it actually gave him an illusion that he could fight against dozens of well-trained soldiers by himself regardless of the fact that he was surrounded by heavy siege.

As Hosea said, Dai Ping'an is not a hero, nor is he capable of being a hero.

Then what is the purpose of living so hard?
Is it for revenge?
Or is it to enjoy the fine clothes and fine food in the future?

neither,
It is to make my heart not so unhappy, not so unhappy.

The trick of fate made him unhappy, so he gritted his teeth and wanted to live; it was also the arrangement of fate that made him unhappy, so he wanted to change Van der Lin; Seconds, it made him feel uncomfortable and unhappy, so he chose to take revenge by any means and no matter the cost.

The officer's behavior just now also made him feel unhappy and unhappy, but there was nothing he could do, which made Dai Pingan feel even more unhappy and unhappy.

As the rain eased, the crackling on the roof became quieter, and soon there was continuous gunshots and horseshoes from behind, and the group of cavalry caught up.

They didn't find Dai Ping'an and his party, but their wildness was released by the looting just now.They fired into the sky while galloping their horses, like a bunch of bandits returning to the village after a robbery.They quickly overtook Hosea's carriage, and the officer was at the end of the line because he stopped to greet Hosea.

He had a smile on his face, as if stepping on other people's heads in the orchard and threatening to hand over their property never happened.

The cavalry team quickly rushed across the bridge, turned and galloped north, heading for Emerald Station.Hosea replaced Bill and asked him to drive the carriage across the bridge and head south to Rhodes.

After entering the carport at the back, Hosea began to take off his clothes. The torrential rain just now watered the poor old man badly. He is no longer a young man in his 30s or [-]s.While wiping the rainwater off his body and looking for a change of dry clothes, Hosea suddenly found Dai Pingan sitting up, opened the curtain at the back a little, and poked out the Carcano rifle.

What is this kid going to do?

At this time, the carriage was already heading south, and the rear of the carriage was facing the cavalry team that was getting farther and farther away.

Hosea glanced back along the gap, and then heaved a sigh of relief. The team of bastards who were still firing their guns was already more than 500 meters away from them. At a distance of 500 meters, the sight of a cavalryman with a horse is as high as a match head one meter away, not much higher than the aim of the muzzle of a gun.

Even though Carcano had a scope on his rifle, he didn't believe that Dai Pingan could still hit it from such a long distance.

More than 500 meters.

Dai Pingan calculated in his mind that even if the gun was equipped with a long-barreled scope, in the field of vision of the scope, the height of the officer who fell at the rear was only half a matchstick higher than the head of the match, and he was still As the horse ran, it kept ups and downs, but it was enough for Dai Ping'an.

He took a deep breath until he couldn't take any more, and the flame started to burn, creating a bloody world.

In Bloody's field of vision, the officer's unsteady body stabilized, and even the sparks from the guns of the soldiers in front turned into flower buds that bloomed slowly.

Dai Ping'an was not in a hurry, he was waiting, waiting for the other party's body to become more stable, waiting for the next bud to bloom, waiting for him to feel it without fail.

He waited.

"Bah!"

Bullets whizzed out from the muzzle.

In the scope, the officer's body shook and fell down.The horse on which the officer was riding slowly pulled over and stopped, but the soldiers in front of him didn't feel anything, they continued to shoot into the sky, and continued to gallop all the way north.

There was no scope, but Hosea still witnessed the scene of the officer falling off the horse from a distance.He turned around first, scolded Bill, who had stopped because he heard the gunshots, and told him to run as fast as he could.Then he turned back and stared fiercely at Dai Pingan, who had already limp into a ball.

"You bloody lunatic!
You brainless bastard!
you this……"

Hosea cursed loudly, but Dai Pingan, who had softened, was too happy to be happy, and all the unhappiness and unhappiness just now were swept away.

How beautiful the world is, how clean the air is.

Javier on the side didn't speak, but silently lit the only cigarette that wasn't wet by the rain, and stuffed it into Dai Ping'an's mouth.

Javier's hometown of Mexico has been ruled by a dictator named Dias, and the situation in Hagen's Orchard is happening every day in his hometown.Javier tried to resist, but what he got in return was more brutal persecution, which forced him to leave the United States.

He came to America to find a way to change this situation, but to his disappointment, this situation is also common in the United States, and there is no news of what he was looking for.In the forest next to Hagen's orchard, he was also filled with righteous indignation at the officer's actions, but he didn't even have the urge to touch a gun, because he, like Hosea, was too mature.

After scolding for a while, Hosea finally stopped. Fortunately, the group of cavalry did not catch up after all, and they did not encounter any obstacles, and they arrived at a camp in the north of Rhodes smoothly.Here they took a short rest, and after finding someone to buy two horses, they rushed north to New Hanover overnight.

Traveling at night is very dangerous, but Hosea can't take care of it anymore. The sooner they leave Lemoyne State, the sooner they can get rid of the encirclement of the police and Detective Pinkerton.They were still a long way from the borders of Lemoyne and New Hanover, and they had to travel through the night to make up the lost days of the day.

The carriage was replaced by Javier, followed by Bill and Dai Pingan on horseback, while Hosea stayed in the carriage to rest. This whole day of tossing was a severe test for his old bones, and he needed a good rest and recovery energy.

The road from Rhodes back to Valentine intersects with the railway they came from, so Javier drove very carefully, for fear of shaking the wheels of the carriage when passing a certain section of the railway.Walking cautiously along the way, they finally saw the Old Greenbank Mill from a distance.

This is an old mill built at the mouth of the Lumei Creek. As long as they cross this river, it means that they have left Lemoyne State and returned to New Hanover.

Javier became excited, and he accelerated the speed of the carriage, but before he could be happy for a few minutes, he suddenly found an oil tank carriage parked on the railway ahead.

This is to rob a train.

Javier stopped everyone, woke up Hosea, and explained the situation ahead.Hosea was a little puzzled, how could such a familiar routine come across here.He picked up the Carcano rifle confiscated from Dai Pingan, and looked over there through the scope.

Sure enough, there was a carriage parked on the railway ahead, and there was a person standing on the carriage.Although he couldn't see the man's appearance clearly because of the blackness, Hosea still recognized the familiar figure.

"SOB!"

Dai Pingan heard Hosea swearing for the first time.

　I'm getting back to my status little by little, don't worry
