A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 1 Plough Village in a Dream

A sudden blizzard swept across the whole world, and under the paleness, several caravans pulled by horses moved slowly on the snow-covered mountain road.

The faintly floating lights in the mountains covered by wind and snow reflected a group of refugees who were full of fear and bewilderment. Except for some items that were convenient for packing and stuffing into the caravan, most of the other items had been left behind, and they kept roaring. The passing wind made the caravan roar.

"Abigail says he's dying, Dutch."

Pastor Swan stepped down from the caravan in front of him not easily, then vigorously lifted up one foot, then lowered it vigorously, alternately approaching the caravan following behind.

"This snow is really heavy. We have to find a place to rest." Pastor Swan said loudly to Dutch who was driving the carriage in a trembling voice, with the wind and snow pouring into his mouth from time to time.

Hosea, who was sitting next to Dutch, had a sad look on his face. The snow covering his body made his already white hair and wrinkled skin look even older. Seeing that Dutch didn't speak, Hosea continued to remain silent. With.

Fortunately, Dutch did not keep Pastor Swan waiting for too long. As the leader of the team, he cheered up and raised his voice, trying his best to maintain the confidence and affirmation he wanted to convey in his voice.

"Arthur went out to look for it. I sent him to look for it. Everyone, please hold on."

After hearing the answer, Pastor Swan nodded and hummed a few times. It seemed that he was too cold or was satisfied with the answer. He rubbed his hands and staggered back to his caravan, with several others in the car. The woman and a wounded man who looked like he was about to die, everyone was quiet.

After Pastor Swan left, Hosea said: "If we don't stop to repair and replenish supplies, we will all die on the road... It's already May in this weather... I hope the pursuers can't find the north like us... ….”

Along the way, Hosea wanted to ask Dutch why his plan to rob the cash ship failed, why it became the current situation, and what happened on the ship.But the pursuer hot on his heels kept him from asking.

"Dutch..." Hosea tried again.

Dach interrupted Hosea and said, "Look over there."

Following the direction of his finger, a man riding a horse with a cowboy hat pressed down slowly came towards them from the wind and snow.

Dutch recognized Arthur at a glance and said, "Arthur! Did you gain anything?"

"I found a place that was sheltered from the wind and snow. David needed a good rest. I also hired a couple to help tidy up the place and bought some food with them. I told you a long time ago that robbing a cash transport ship is not a good idea. You know the idea." After Arthur said that, he turned his horse and led the way beside the convoy.

As Arthur said, he opposed Dutch's plan to rob the cash ship for the reason that Arthur could not tell others because until now he could not be sure that everything was possible.The time was almost ten years ago?He became seriously ill and had a strange dream.

It was really an extremely vivid dream, so much so that he himself did not believe it was a dream, but preferred to call it another life, in which he grew from a baby that fell to the ground to a tooth. From learning Chinese to studying hard in the cold window and getting admitted to the university of my choice, everything is so real.

The beauty and joy of life were something he had never had before.

If it weren't for the fact that these memories gradually became blurred and fragmented after waking up from the dream, they became no longer clear, as if they were just a movie they watched a long time ago, and turned into a familiarity that suddenly came to mind in a trance moment.

He may go crazy or suspect that his current life is a hopeless nightmare.

In the dream, my current life is just a game called "Red Dead Redemption"...

Facing the wind and snow, Arthur raised his voice as much as possible and said: "I found a place, a mining town that has been abandoned for a long time. It's been some years. It's not far from here. If I speed up a little bit, I don't want anyone to freeze to death." ." Arthur was telling everyone, and he was also telling himself that this time there were not only old men, women, and children in the escape team, but also the wounded. The bad weather and bad mood were about to destroy the team.

"Everyone cheer up! Speed ​​up! Drive!"

Under the command of Dutch, the group followed Arthur to this deserted town.

Look up.

Except for a few dilapidated cabins on both sides of the middle road that could barely protect against the wind and snow and some abandoned broken tools, proving that this was the town that once had a mining industry, there was nothing left here.

Arthur felt that instead of calling this place a town, it would be more appropriate to say that it was just a ruins of shabby houses.

A group of people drove the caravan into the village. After hearing the movement of the carriage, the two people walked out of a relatively complete wooden house despite the wind and snow. They could see that a fire had started in the house behind them.

Arthur said: "This is the Adler couple. They run a small farm not far away. Thank you very much for your help."

Arthur then introduced the two people in front of him to Dutch and Hosea: "This is Dutch and Hosea."

The two of them raised their hats as greetings.

After saying hello, Hosea did not stay to exchange greetings, but hurriedly called for others to help carry David from the caravan into a simply cleaned house. The house was not repaired and had some drafts, and could only barely block the wind and snow. The fire in the house is burning brightly to warm people up as quickly as possible.

Soon, with the help of Arthur, everyone carried David into the house. Dutch stood by the door holding an oil lamp, greeting everyone to come in, and counting the number of people to make sure no one was left behind.

"Here, put the person here."

David was placed on the bed. The bleeding area where he was shot had stopped, but the days of running around and the low temperature brought by the snowstorm made his condition very bad.

Abigail was taking care of David along the way. As a girl who had made a living in bars and brothels since she was a child, she was very good at taking care of men, and was especially skilled in how to deal with the situation of being shot.

It was obvious that David's condition was very bad. The hypothermia was almost killing the weak man. She said uneasily: "His fever has gotten worse. This condition urgently needs medication."

Arthur stepped forward from the side and took out two unknown brown potion bottles from his backpack. There was paper on the bottles with something scrawled on them.

"It is said that it specializes in treating gunshot wounds and complications. Give him a try."

Don't ask why Arthur brought this thing. Since Dutch found him in Blackwater Town and told himself "he has a plan," Hosea happened to come up with a plan to defraud a businessman who was committing real estate fraud. At that time, Arthur silently made some preparations.

Although many of the memories in dreams are no longer real, and even if you think about it carefully, only fragments emerge, there is no doubt that this bizarre experience changed Arthur tremendously.
