Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 33, Chapter 33, black robe, prison and forest
33,

The tiger head knife rested on the bearded man's neck, and the wine on the knife mixed with the blood dripped down the knife edge, and the bursts of chill stimulated every nerve in the bearded man's bones.

Not only him, but even Charles on the side was taken aback.This was the first time he was working with Dai Pingan. One second ago, he wondered why Dai Pingan sprayed wine on the steel knife, but the next second the bald man at his feet lost his head.

"If I hear another piece of nonsense from your mouth, this is your fate." Dai Ping'an's voice was very soft, but no one thought he was joking under the bright knife.

The bearded man faltered, and he didn't dare to hide anything, for fear of swinging the steel knife around his neck again.

"So some time ago, your O'Drisco gang and the mayor of Lacy in Valentine did have conflicts, and they were even ready to turn their faces and fight, but they were persuaded to make peace two days ago. The reconciliation is as good as before. However, the mutual cooperation has become closer, so that the mayor Lacy allowed you to act as policemen around Valentine to deal with the Van der Lin gang. Who is the person who persuaded the peace?"

"I don't know, I really don't know. I heard that the man met our leader Colm alone in the carriage. He never got out of the carriage from the beginning to the end. But I know that man is rich, and his The carriage has its own special guard, and he gave Colm a lot of money, and it seems that he also gave Mayor Lacy a lot of money."

Dai Pingan nodded, he had already guessed the identity of that person in his heart.

"Besides these, you don't know anything else?"

"I really don't know. I'm just a thug. Not long after I came here, I really didn't do the things before." The bearded man cried and shouted: "I really don't know where those people are hiding. We It is responsible for bringing the mother and daughter to Beaver Ridge, and there will naturally be Mayor Lacy's support behind them."

Sea Ridge is a place south of Valentine where there is a trail, though steep, that leads straight to the banks of the Dakota River, beyond which you leave New Hanover and enter West Elizabeth across the river.

Could it be that Mayor Lacy and the others hid people in West Elizabeth?

Seeing that he couldn't find any valuable information, Dai Ping'an moved the knife away from the opponent's neck, and the bearded man let out a long sigh of relief.

"I have one last question for you. There is a ranch north of Coulter Village in Ambarino State. There is a pair of brothers living in the ranch. They seem to have been killed by your O'Drisco people. Do you have any share here? ?”

"No! Absolutely not!"

"But some people say that you did it."

"Impossible, we didn't see any brothers at all, only a couple..."

"Wow!"

Because of the alcohol sprayed beforehand, there wasn't much blood on the knife, so Dai Pingan shook it and put the tiger-headed sword back on his back: "Take the head back to Sadie, and see if she recognizes it."

Dai Ping'an's voice was as calm as if he had chopped down two radishes. He almost had his head shot open by Mrs. Downs just now, so he really didn't have the heart to explain anything.This made Charles, who was next to him, dumbfounded, and honestly packed up his things.

The four of them packed up their things, turned around and walked back, and soon came to the place that the bearded man said.

They went all the way down from Beaver Ridge until they found the Dakota River bank. Dai Pingan and Charles even dismounted and searched carefully. However, there were too many people and carriages walking on this road on weekdays, and nothing unusual was found.

The clues were broken, and Dai Ping'an was thinking about the mother and son who were sent back to the camp, so they had no choice but to continue south along the river bank and return to the Horseshoe Watchtower camp.When they reached the east side of the camp, under the cliff of the Horseshoe Watchtower, Charles suddenly stopped the horse:
"Did you smell the fire?"

"Fire?" Everyone was a little surprised. Bill looked at the camp that was already close at hand: "Our camp is right up there. It's normal to have a campfire smell."

"No, I'm not talking about the smell of the campfire, but the smell of a newly lit fire, and it's coming from the south with the wind."

To the south is the mouth of the Dakota River, where the Budd Railroad Bridge, connecting New Hanover to West Elizabeth, spans.Dai Pingan tried to smell it, but unfortunately he couldn't smell anything, but he still believed in Charles' feeling.

They went on up, and instead of returning to camp, they found the railroad, and followed it straight south to Flatneck Station.The Flat Neck Freight Terminal is located above the mouth of the Dakota River and is the last stop for trains before leaving New Hanover.

They hadn't gone far before they spotted a little fire in the grove opposite Flatneck Station.

Charles was right, it was a new fire, and the flames licked the newly added wood, and the smoke spread far away along the night wind blowing from the Branding Iron Lake.

Surrounding the fire were a dozen or so people wearing black pointed masks and black robes. They were muttering and praying with a leader.In the middle of the fire, there is a tall cross, on which hangs a stripped naked man obliquely, the flames in the fire are roasting his body, Dai Pingan and the others can even smell the smell of roasting meat .The reason why it is said to be oblique is because the person who is hung has only one arm.

The beggar at the door of Kenneth's bar?

There was a gunshot in the dark woods, and all the black robes were killed without even responding, only one leader was shot in the thigh.There are too many people on the other side, and I don't know if they have weapons. It is impossible to control so many people quietly, so we can only make a quick decision.

Dai Ping'an and Javier rescued the man. The one-handed "veteran" beggar had fallen into a deep coma.Dai Pingan handed him over to Javier's care, and came to the leader's side with a knife in his hand. The other party was still confronting Bill and Charles, and his weapon was actually a small knife the size of a palm.

"噗嗤" sounded,
A palm-sized knife pierced his neck, and blood flowed out quickly.

The leader rewarded himself directly.

Bill and Charles looked at Dai Ping'an, then at the tiger-head knife in his hand, and immediately understood why the other party was so decisive.

"This matter must have something to do with the people at the flat neck station!" Dai Ping'an put away his sword resentfully: "It's so close to the station, I don't believe they don't know anything about the things here, it seems that we still need to visit Look at the workers at these stations."

"No need..." Bill tore off the leader's mask: "This is the station master of the Flat Neck Station. I had a priest play cards with them before."

As he spoke, Bill tore off the masks and robes of the other men in black one after another. As expected, they were all wearing the uniforms of train station staff. Some of them looked familiar, and they all gambled money at the same card table with him. people.

At this time Javier also followed and shook his head at Dai Pingan.

"'Prison' and 'forest' or something."

Javier was also a bit frustrated:

"That was the last thing that came out of that poor fellow's mouth."
