A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 9 Javier Iscola

On the edge of the cliff, John and Arthur tied their horses to the rocks, and the two of them moved slowly down the platform.

"Help! I'm here!"

John's voice can be faintly heard here.

The question of whether there would be an avalanche briefly appeared in Arthur's mind. However, their current location was at the top of the mountain, so there was no need to worry about this issue.

At this moment, standing in this position, one can already see a sea of ​​clouds covering several peaks with sharp peaks. If the wind and snow can be ignored, the scenery in front of you is indeed very magnificent.

Even though it was night and John's voice kept calling for help could be heard in his ears, Arthur still took a few more glances.

"help me!"

Javier said: "That's right, he's right down here. Along the edge, I took a look and I should be able to go down."

Rubbing his face, the temperature on the top of the mountain at night was really too low. Even though he had put on a lot of clothes, Javier was still freezing.

"Be careful, there is a bump here."

Javier jumped down, feeling his way carefully.

I don't know how many hurdles they walked down. The two of them walked back and forth and squatted with their heads down before passing through a rock crevice. It was dangerous and dangerous, and they almost slipped on a cliff.

When the two stood again to judge John's position, for some reason, they realized that John's voice should be above them.

So the two fumbled and climbed up several platforms.

"I'm here!" John was still shouting.

Javier walked ahead and shouted: "Here we come John!"

Damn, it's so cold in here.

Although they could hear the sound, they just felt like they couldn't walk. After climbing, the two of them stopped in a crack sandwiched between two mountains.

Javier gasped and turned around and asked, "How are you, are you okay?"

After running around for a day, Arthur only took two casual bites on the horse, and now he feels very uncomfortable.

"Give... two sips."

Javier took out a wine bottle from somewhere, took a sip and threw it to Arthur.

"I can't stand the snow, I'm a Mexican."

The two of them rested for a while in a crack that could slightly block the wind and snow.

Javier raised his head and said:

"Hey, Arthur, remember that stagecoach we robbed in Nevada?"

Arthur raised his head and took a sip of wine, nodded and said:

"Remember, the wind leaked by a security guard in Reno."

Javier continued:
"When we opened the car door, there were women and children inside."

"I remember very clearly that although they were very rich, they were all women and children."

Arthur also remembered this incident. He remembered that Javier saw this situation and persuaded everyone to let them go.

Javier seemed to be immersed in memories, with a look of anger but helplessness on his face, saying:
"We let them go...and then I read in the newspaper..."

"...After that, the O'Drisco gang robbed them on the road and killed them all."

Arthur didn't know what happened next.

However, maybe this is the current situation in the West today. Some of the so-called robber idealists who are active in this land have degenerated into scum like the Odris Gang, while the other part, no matter how hard they try, are weak people. It's always hard to survive here on your own.

The difficult environment is forcing everyone.Even those who call themselves thieves, the so-called freedom they pursue is paid for with the blood of countless innocent ordinary people.

Faced with Arthur's silence, Javier continued:

"We all know that Dutch was very good friends with Colm O'Driscoll."

"Later, it was precisely because of different ideas that Dutch and he parted ways. They were completely different. Arthur, I like this big family. Dutch is an ideal leader. I am loyal to Dutch. I treat every Everyone considers them my brothers and sisters.”

Arthur didn't expect Javier to say that, really, it shocked him.

"Havel..."

Arthur didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Listen Arthur, it's because we stick together that we always survive in this fucking world."

"Please believe Dutch, I know I probably shouldn't say this, but Arthur, Dutch needs you and this family needs you."

After saying this, Javier seemed a little embarrassed. He took a big sip of the wine Arthur handed back and said:

"Let's go. It's almost time to rest. If we delay it any longer, John might freeze to death."

As if to ease his embarrassment, Javier joked about John, because John was obviously in good condition, and the voice of calling for help never stopped.

Arthur nodded and said:
"Let's move on. Come on, I'll think about what you say."

The two stumbled out of the crack one after the other, shouting John's name loudly, trying to make sure he could hear them.

"Here I am! On the edge of the cliff."

Hearing John's voice, Javier shouted:

"That's John, here we come!"

Under the night, Javier and Arthur trotted towards the cliff, and John kept shouting that he was below. I have to say that the sound transmission effect in the empty valley was really good.

Arthur was originally worried about whether it would take too long, but now it seemed that it was completely unnecessary, so he shouted impatiently:
"Okay, stop arguing! Marston."

John Marston, Marston was his surname.

Growing up, Arthur always called him Marston instead of John when he disliked him.

When I came to the edge of the cliff and looked down, I could see John leaning on the cliff by the moonlight. He was very miserable, and there was a deep claw mark on his face. .

As for the injuries on his body, he couldn't see clearly, but it seemed that he couldn't move his legs.

Arthur looked at John and said:

"You really made a mess for yourself."

John raised his head and looked at the two of them and said:

"I never thought I'd say that, but it's good to see you, Arthur Morgan."

"You don't look good."

Arthur jumped down and carefully observed John's injuries. Seeing that John had no place to move except for his mouth, Arthur decisively lifted John up and put him on his shoulders. He handed John from below to Ha who was staying on top. Vail.

"I'm freezing to death, Arthur."

Arthur smiled and said: "Don't rush to death yet, Abigail and Jack are waiting for you."

After climbing up again, Arthur took John on his shoulders and continued to carry him. He looked up at the moon. Between the mountains, the vast sky and earth were covered with snow.

In the wind and snow, only a long string of footprints on the snow was slowly being covered.
