Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 55 Chapter 55, three meals, ideals, good people

55,

In the big pot set up, the thick stubble porridge was tumbling, and the rich aroma of corn permeated everywhere, but it couldn't cover the bloody smell coming out of the soil.The blazing flames illuminated all the Chinese laborers present, and under the blowing of the night wind, their faces were sometimes bright and sometimes dark, sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny.

Even though some of them couldn't understand English, they understood a fact under Dai Pingan's bloody operation: the person who can call the shots in this team——has changed.

Anxiety, tension, worry, fear, anxiety,
All kinds of complicated emotions finally converged into a deep uneasiness expressed on his face.Captain Kahn is dead, what should they do, whether they can live to see the sun tomorrow, whether they can continue to work in Armadillo Town, all the answers lie in the man in front of the fire.

"After dinner, we will continue to set off tomorrow. The destination is Armadillo Town. Everything remains the same. Captain Kahn died, and I will take you to the rest of the way. Moreover, I promise you two things:" these words Dai Ping'an spoke in Mandarin, and raised two fingers while talking:
"First, I will guarantee that you will reach Armadillo Town safely. Second, I will guarantee that you will have three meals a day, and you will not be hungry. However, you are not allowed to cause trouble for me on the way, otherwise, Captain Kahn can sacrifice, and so can you Sacrifice, I will do what I say!"

Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, the hanging heart was finally able to let go, but Dai Ping'an did not end:

"Of course, you don't have to listen to me. You can go to the police or ask someone for help. But before that, please ask yourselves first, hehe," under the backlight of the flames, everyone couldn't see Dai Pingan clearly. face, but his sinister laugh sounded like an owl in the forest:
"Will those foreign devils and policemen trust you or me!"

After the threatening words were finished, they did not have any obvious effect. When everyone learned that they would continue to go to Armadillo Town, their attention was involuntarily put on the cauldron of hot porridge .

Captain Kahn is dead, and Brother Brown is dead too. Are the Chinese workers happy?Of course they are happy, because the person who killed them has already agreed. Not only will they continue to go to Armadillo Town to work and earn money, but they will also guarantee three meals a day, so they can eat an extra meal!
Yes, the reason they are happy is because they have an extra meal.

They have long been accustomed to being away from home and living in a foreign land. They have never done any hard work or suffered any humiliation.Big kangs and small kangs sleep well first, eat more and eat less first, the Chinese workers care about whether they can have enough food today, whether they can have work tomorrow, and whether they can get the wages to support their families in the end.

As for whether the salary is only half or one-third of others, they never care, because they have no ability to care.

This kind of unfair treatment, together with those unreasonable accusations and reprimands, inexplicable insults and expulsions, because it has happened to them for a long time, has formed a habit for them who are powerless and dare not resist, a kind of silently bearing habit.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Dai Ping'an and the Chinese workers have always been at odds.

He has also suffered various beatings from the society before, but compared with what the Chinese laborers have been subjected to, the lessons he has learned before are nothing compared to what the Chinese workers have been enduring, and it can even be called luck!
So he can't stand it.

He can neither bear himself and his compatriots being bullied, nor can he bear the default attitude of his compatriots in the face of bullying.He can understand, he can understand, he knows why these Chinese workers have become like this, but he just can't stand it, because whenever he sees a similar situation, he can't help but think of the one who didn't bow his head because of him and finally died The appalling boy Dai Ping'an.

"Uncle Zhang, let's have dinner."

Dai Ping'an's last sentence was weak.When the crowd surrounded the cauldron, he also quietly left the crowd and left the camp.

Leaning on the stake outside the camp, Dai Pingan lit a cigarette. He needed to calm down so that some memories he didn't want to remember could be erased from his mind.But things didn't go as planned, just after taking the first sip, a heavy footstep followed.

It's Bill.

"Hey, buddy, that performance just now was really good. You almost scared me when you killed someone."

"Really? Then you finally admit that you are timid?" Dai Pingan smiled softly with a cigarette in his mouth: "How about the guards, are you still obedient?"

"Of course, some of them are still shaking."

"You still have to be careful. Especially the manager named Lester, he is very important. Our road has just begun, and many things on the road cannot be separated from him. You have to keep an eye on him. The critical moment is to let him die. And don't let him speak."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him."

Bill patted Dai Ping'an on the shoulder and walked away.

Dai Pingan was about to take a second sip, when he heard footsteps approaching again, this time the footsteps were neither light nor heavy, and it was Arthur.

"You should have shot earlier."

Arthur's face was gloomy. Since the announcement of the plan this morning, Arthur's face has not looked good:

"Your methods are too cruel. You should give them a happy ending instead of torturing them and letting them watch themselves being buried little by little."

"If you don't torture them, how can the other guards be honest and obedient? We have a long journey, and I don't worry if we don't do everything right."

"We can use other methods..."

"Any other way, give me money? I gave it, and they plan to rob me on the way."

"Then it shouldn't be buried alive."

"They were killed before they were actually buried, weren't they!"

"The Brown brothers are still young, two children..."

Arthur still wanted to say something, Dai Pingan shook his head, lightly flicked away the cigarette butt that was about to burn out in his hand, suddenly grabbed Arthur by the collar with both hands, and pushed him onto the stake:
"Don't mention any children to me, don't say they are 20 years old, even if they are [-] years old, they will be punished if they do something wrong! Also, I don't know if you learned kindness from Mary or Sadie , but before you say these words, please don’t forget your identity.”

Dai Pingan growled, his voice was like a hoarse beast.Arthur wanted to break free, but found that Dai Pingan, who had always shown a thin image, had been able to compete with him since some time, with two strong arms pushing him against the stake behind him, unable to break free.

"You are the second leader of the Van der Lin gang, a gangster, a robber, and a murderer, not a priest in a church. You have killed as many people as I did, so please put away your hypocritical benevolence. Now that you are Stop pretending to be innocent, bitch!"

"I'm not as cruel as you, and I haven't killed innocent people..."

"Innocent? What is innocent? It's up to you whether you are innocent or not. Let me tell you, in this world, either you kill me or I kill you. As long as you survive, there are no innocent people. If you kill, I will kill too. There is no difference between you and me! The blood on your hands cannot be washed clean, and we cannot turn back! So, Mr. Arthur Morgan, stop thinking about kindness and kindness, it has nothing to do with us!"

"Finally, please don't forget the purpose of this trip, Mr. Morgan. If you think I'm being cruel, that's okay. We'll turn around and go back tomorrow morning!"

After yelling, Dai Pingan let go of Arthur, but after this low growl, Arthur had no intention of resisting anymore.He looked at Dai Ping'an, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he walked away quietly.

Seeing Arthur walk away, Dai Pingan had another cigarette in his mouth, but this time it was Javier who had been here for a while and lit the match for him.

"He's been with those two women for too long, and his heart has softened." Dai Ping'an sighed.

"You made him guard around Mary's caravan, and it has nothing to do with women, he was a good man." Javier lit his cigarette again.For a moment, the match reflected the excitement on Javier's face, and Dai Pingan knew that his cigarette might not be good again:

"Arthur has always been a good man, but he just went the wrong way. He doesn't want to kill or rob, but as the second leader of the Van der Lin gang, he has no other choice. You should understand him."

"What does this have to do with me?" Dai Ping'an was a little surprised.

"Because you are also a good person." Repressing the excitement in his heart, Javier looked at Dai Pingan quietly: "Did I say something wrong?"

Dai Pingan didn't answer right away, he looked at Javier, his frowning mixed with the corners of his mouth raised, as if he had heard the funniest joke:
"I'm a nice guy? Well, that's enough, what the hell do you mean?"

"Mr. Dai, if you really want to bury a person alive, please don't kill him before he can't breathe. Not only will you not scare others, but you will also show your inner weakness. And your compatriots, you should treat them better of."

"Better? What do you mean?"

"Strong, obedient, physically strong, what a quality, as long as you give them a gun and a little training, they will be your best subordinates. Why don't you win them over, instead you have to show that you are vicious, How about keeping them out?"

"You're not Chinese. You don't understand. Most of them have no ambitions. As long as they have something to do and earn money, even if they just stutter and starve to death, they won't do risky things."

"Then why do you still feed them? Three meals a day? Even if they reach Armadillo Town, they won't be able to find a job," Javier reminded Dai Pingan:
"Old Huang has his purpose in helping us get to Armadillo Town. Instead of waiting for them to get there without work and hungry, why don't we take the lead."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"We can recruit these compatriots of yours, 100 people, as long as a few months of training, we can be as strong as the O'Driscots."

"And then?" Dai Pingan understood something.

"Then, when our gang grows, we can..." Suddenly, Javier couldn't continue, so Dai Pingan helped him continue.

"After the gang grows, we can rob the town of Rhodes, rob the city of Saint-Denis, and even rob Cornwall. The police and Detective Pinkerton are no match for us, and then we will call in the American army to kill us all?"

Javier's just excited expression froze on his face.

Javier was born in Mexico ruled by the dictatorship of Diaz. He was also an angry young man who tried to overthrow the dictatorship. In exchange, his family was persecuted and he escaped from Mexico alone to seek asylum in the United States. Only then did Dach join the Van der Lin gang.

After joining the gang, besides the daily affairs of the gang, what Javier thinks every day is how to go back to his hometown of Mexico to take revenge, to overthrow the government, and to liberate the people, but things are not that easy.Just when he thought that this dream would never be realized in this life, Dai Ping'an appeared.

If Daqi sees the hope of the revival of the Van der Lin Gang in Dai Pingan and thinks that Dai Pingan can bring wealth, then Javier also thinks that Dai Pingan may also help him realize his desire for revenge.

Dai Pingan did not disappoint Daqi, first a few gold bars solved the urgent need, and then a huge sum of up to [-] US dollars.When Daqi was ecstatic after receiving the money, Javier also had a lot of information about Dai Pingan.

Among the Van der Lin gang, Javier has the best relationship with Dai Ping'an, not only because Javier saved his life in the process of searching for gold bricks, but also because he also appreciates Javier's persistence and loyalty.But in the face of Javier's question, Dai Pingan has no good solution. He must not be allowed to return to Mexico to start the drug lord business in advance.

"Of course, at that time, we can also overcome all kinds of obstacles and escape to Mexico, overthrow the Diaz dictatorship you have been thinking about all the time, and then, the United States will send troops, or will we be wiped out?"

"We can call on others to join us, and our gang will grow bigger and more people, at least there is hope."

"Calling? In which capacity to call, Van der Lin Gang? Or the Howling Wolf Gang shouting the slogan of liberating Mexico? Javier, Mr. Javier Iscola, think about Dach's desperation two days ago, you should Knowing that it is not easy to raise a gang of people, it takes a lot of money... Even if we have this money, it is impossible to realize your dream with the gang."

"Why not?"

"Because we are thieves, gangsters, and wanted criminals, Mr. Iscola. Don't think that giving a little favor to the poor after the robbery is a chivalrous thief who robs the rich and helps the poor. He doesn't even have the banner to stand up for the sky. .”

"Do justice for the sky? What is that?"

"You don't have to worry about what it means to do justice for the sky. You just need to know that gangs alone cannot overthrow a sound government. Regardless of gangs or robbers, they are destined to walk in the dark. We can't deal with the police, let alone the army. , let alone overthrow a complete government backed by the military and the police.”

In the end, Javier left with a lonely face, and Dai Pingan knew that he would not give up just like that.Sometimes he even envies Javier's persistence, at least he is still sticking to his ideals, unlike himself, all he thinks about is how to live.

nice guy?

Dai Pingan sneered and lit a third cigarette.
