Chapter 111 Fishing ([-])

the next day.

Arthur finally decided to go back to the camp.

He told himself that he had to come back to confirm Dutch's mental state. If he left it alone, who knew what trouble he might cause.

This must be the longest time I have been away from the camp, right?
Looking at the familiar carriages in the camp, Pearson’s dining car, and the tables in the camp, huh?And your own bed?
Arthur rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After Susan arrived at the new camp, she still arranged her own bed and carriage.

"Arthur! Arthur, you are back!"

"Arthur..."

"Mr. Morgan."

"Ah, Arthur, I love the gift you gave me."

Arthur greeted everyone one by one, but he did not see Dutch in the camp. The new camp was wider than the previous Horseshoe Lookout, and the camp was right on the shore of Iron Lake.

Finally, near the lake, Arthur found Hosea leaning against a tree. Looking at Arthur walking towards him, Hosea smiled and asked:

"You're back? What do you think of this place?"

"It feels pretty good, very peaceful, and the scenery by the lake is nice?" Arthur replied.

Hosea said:

"Hey, it seems to me so far, it's not bad. I have some knowledge about this place. It's a good place."

Arthur asked with a strange expression:

"So, is there really a place you haven't been to? By the way, where are the Dutch people?"

Hosea pouted towards the lake, and Arthur looked along, and saw Susan standing there with her hips pierced, smoking a cigarette, and looking further away, Dach was standing by the lake.

Arthur and Hosea waved their hands and walked towards the lake.

Hearing someone coming, Dutch turned around. After seeing that it was Arthur, he was obviously stunned, and then he actually said in a very relieved tone:
"How's it going, old friend?"

Dutch has been thinking a lot lately.

Before, they returned from the robbery in Valentine. When faced with the people who stayed in the camp being captured by Cornwall, Dutch had no choice in whether to have his companions or keep the stolen money. He hesitated because he understood that what he valued was never money.

Even if he was determined to turn around and rob Valentin's bank, the reason behind this, money was only an insignificant part of it. The reason that really made him make up his mind to do this was actually because he realized that he Shaken in the heart.

Another part of the reason may be that he found that he was gradually losing control of the gang.

These are what Dutch really cannot accept, and they are also the reasons why he decided to do that.

These recent events kept Dutch thinking along the way.

does it worth?Is it really worth it?
Yes, he was shaken again.

He was angry at his short-sightedness and dissatisfied with his mania.

But Dutch has indeed been reflecting on it. Until the last moment of Arthur's arrival, he was actually still thinking about this.

Is it really worth it to lose other people's lives because of your own decisions?Dutch asked himself this question not just once.

Unfortunately, Dutch didn't have the answer.

But he believes that his feelings for everyone are true.

Arthur looked at Dutch greeting him. Although he felt strange because it was not what he expected, he still answered:

"It's okay, Dutch."

Dutch didn't ask why Arthur came back, but said to himself:

"This is really fun, isn't it? I never thought we would end up here."

Arthur knew what Dutch meant. He remembered Dutch telling him that Dutch's father died on the battlefield in Pennsylvania. His father fought many battles.

Arthur said: "Are you okay? Dutch, I heard that you used all the money you robbed to exchange for the people who were caught in the camp."

This actually surprised Arthur. At the same time, it more or less allowed Arthur to see again the Dutch who led him to distribute gold to the poor after robbing the bank.

Dutch looked at Arthur. He was not wearing the coat he usually wore, but simply wore a dark red vest over a white striped shirt.

Dutch said:

"You know? I often think of Mike and little Jenny, of the past days, of those happy times. At that time, we all had a common goal. Everything was very simple. We just needed to enjoy it naturally. A life that is our birthright.”

Dutch seemed to be on the same channel as Arthur, and was talking to himself about what he wanted to say.

Arthur looked at Dutch worriedly. It seemed that what Charles said was true, and Dutch's condition was indeed not quite right.

Dutch saw Arthur's expression, he smiled, and then said seriously:

"Do you think I've lost my mind? Don't worry, I haven't. A more tolerant, better, and more real society is achievable. Arthur, I understand. You may not understand my thoughts now. , I forgive you, I believe you will understand me in the end."

After hearing what Dutch said, Arthur wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Dutch waving his hand. He walked back and asked Arthur to follow him, and he said:

"Let's go. It's a nice day today, and it's rare. We're both free, aren't we? There's a creek near here. Hosea told me that it looks like a good place for fishing. We'll definitely be able to catch a lot. fish."

Arthur had no chance to refuse, so he had to follow Dutch through the camp. On the way, he saw an uncle dozing under a big tree in the middle of the camp wearing a straw hat, looking at the things scattered around him. Wine bottle, Arthur thought the uncle should be fine.

Dutch, who was walking in front, shouted to Hosea in the distance:

"Hey, old guy, let's go fishing together in the creek where you peed."

Hosea looked at Arthur behind Dutch. Although he didn't understand why the two of them were like this again, he was still angry with Dutch? ...Forget it, forget it, he finally picked up the fishing rod and came to the horse with the two of them.

At this time, Dutch came to the side of his white Arabian horse, the Earl. He looked at Hosea walking over and said:
"Hey, old friend, you still don't look good. I thought the warm weather would..."

"It's been a long time since I looked good, Dutch, don't you know why?" Hosea interrupted Dutch.

Dutch got on his horse and continued:
"I know you're still angry with me. Why are you always such a bummer? Come on, Hosea, let's go fishing together."

After Arthur casually swatted an unknown insect that landed on his neck to death, he said:
"I can't even remember the last time, the last time the three of us went fishing together..."

The three of them rode on horses and moved forward slowly. Hosea turned back to Dutch and asked:

"Ahem, so why don't we just fish in the lake?"

Dutch said:

"Because, I need to get out for a walk...with my old partners, just us before the rest of them join."

"Hey, a couple who are neither shy nor impatient, and their naughty boy." Hosea continued with a smile. Anyway, it has been too long, and the three old friends have not been active like this. Xia decided not to worry about other things for the time being.

Dutch also smiled and said:
"It's really nice here, Arthur. This place you found is really great."

"Traveling here, I feel like I can breathe again. What a thick and moist air. Maybe this place will help your asthma, Hosea." Dutch's mood seemed to have improved, and he began to no longer Talking to himself.

Hosea did not look back. He was at the front and said:

"I've been to this place before, with Bessie." After Hosea said this, he immediately changed his tone and continued:
"Oh, I feel like it was a lifetime ago."

Arthur said: "It is indeed a lifetime ago."

"However, our life is really colorful, isn't it? We fought beautifully in those past battles, especially you two." Dutch said.

Dutch seemed to have forgotten what happened that day and the quarrel between them, just like the person who asked Arthur not to come back again after leaving, the person who insisted on robbing the Valentine Bank. In fact, Not like him.

The atmosphere was frighteningly harmonious for a moment, but to Arthur, it was like a dream.

However, unfortunately, this is not a dream.

Arthur understands.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
