A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 94 Transfer Camp and Reverend Swanson ([-])

"Mo..."

"Stop dawdling, let's go, it's time to go home, pastor." Arthur interrupted Swanson.

Swanson shook his head and said drunkenly:

"I took your advice, Arthur...Ah, Mr. McQueen, why are you here?"

Arthur frowned, and he realized that it was the money he sent back to the camp that allowed Pastor Swanson to drunkenly do 'charity' in this place.

thought here.

Arthur said mockingly to Swanson:

"It seems that now, your God should have completely abandoned you. Do you still know what nonsense you are talking about? What advice did you take from me? Could it be that I let you use the money to drink and gamble No?"

Swanson's eyes widened before he saw Arthur's position clearly. He stood up from his position unsteadily, then stumbled towards Arthur, and said:
"I listened to your advice! I forced myself to break free from the arms of the God of Sleep. I am no longer sinking! Sir, I am free...free!"

Sean looked at Swanson who was holding Arthur in front of him and talking nonsense, and persuaded:

"Pastor, wake up, you are not free, you are simply drinking too much."

A man sitting at the gambling table who was playing cards with Swanson shouted impatiently:
"Sit down! Haven't we finished playing our cards yet?"

Arthur didn't want to be angry with Swanson, but with these two strangers?He has no good temper, Arthur shouted angrily:

"You haven't finished playing yet? Open your eyes! Take a look at this man, he's finished playing!"

Facing Arthur's accusing tone, after sizing up Arthur's body shape, the man in the dome hat spread his hands and argued in an unsteady tone:
"Hey! We didn't make him drink, pal? I just made him play cards."

Upon hearing this, Arthur pushed Swanson who was on his body to Sean, then turned around and put his hands on the card table, looked down at the two people in front of him, and said seriously:
"Listen, first of all, we are not friends. Don't get this wrong. Secondly, he is so drunk that he may not even be able to see the cards clearly, let alone think. You two are rubbish. Be glad that I'm still talking to you now. If you still appear in front of me, I don't promise that I won't put a bullet in each of your pig heads. Now, immediately, immediately, from me disappear before my eyes!"

Facing Arthur's threat, the man who had been silent put on his hat and left decisively. The other man still wanted to continue the game, but his voice was much lower. :
"Well, calm down, I just...want him to finish this round of cards."

After Arthur heard this, he didn't hesitate and overturned the card table.

"Okay, now the game is over."

This movement seemed to wake up Pastor Swanson beside him. He was startled, then pushed Sean away who was supporting him, and shouted in a miserable voice:

"Why?! Why can't everyone get along well?!"

"These are good people, good people! Arthur... they are God's people..."

After saying that, Swanson fell to the ground unconscious.

"What are you looking at? Get out of here!" Sean cursed at the man who was still here.

The man gave Arthur and Sean a final look without giving up, and then left dejectedly.

"Okay, Arthur, I'll take the priest back to the camp. Thank you for everything this time." Sean said after lifting Swanson from the ground.

Arthur nodded and asked about the progress of the camp transfer.

"Ms. Grimshaw has packed everything in the camp. Don't worry, I will come to you and tell you the latest situation when we get to the new camp." Sean replied with a smile.

Arthur nodded and didn't say anything more, just telling Sean to be careful on the road.

……

"Oh...Have I become bad again, Mr. Morgan..."

Swanson was lying on Sean's back, still talking nonsense from time to time. "I'm sorry... ow."

Well, Sean felt like maybe Swanson was still crying.

His back felt wet.

Sean was riding on the horse at this time. He didn't know what to say to comfort Swanson, so he could only say in a coaxing tone:
"Oh, oh, oh, stop crying, we'll be home soon."

……

When Sean returned to the camp, he carried Swanson and walked past Dutch and Molly. Molly looked at Swanson being carried by Sean and said:
"I'm still wondering when he will show up. Everyone is waiting for you."

"Well, this has gone faster than I planned. Dutch, where should we put the priest?" Sean asked Dutch to the side.

"Throw him a carriage and let him sober up." Dutch said with a frown.

Sean nodded, he carried the priest onto the carriage, and finally said to Swanson in a joking tone:
"Bless you with a good night's sleep, my friend."

After Sean settled Swanson, everyone officially left the Horseshoe Lookout and set off towards Clemons Point, the location of the new camp.

As usual, Dutch sent Charles and John to go ahead and clean up any possible troubles.

After getting on the carriage, Dutch looked back at the horse paw lookout for the last time, then decisively waved the reins and drove the carriage on the road.

After some distance away from the Horseshoe Lookout, Dutch suddenly felt like he had left something there.

Of course.

His plans for the Valentine's bank robbery were left unexecuted.

That day, after Arthur left.

Dutch and Hosea had a long chat, the contents of which was unknown to anyone else.

As for giving up the plan to rob the bank, everyone in the camp only thought it was because of Arthur's departure. It was this incident that finally made Dutch change his mind. He decided to listen to Arthur's advice, so he gave up the plan.

As for the real reason, no one actually knows.

In the team that Dutch and his friends left, there were fewer people than when they arrived. Arthur, Mary Beth, Strauss, and Kieran were not in the team heading to the new camp.

Here, except for Arthur, who is regarded as a combat power, Dutch actually doesn't care too much about the departure of others, because they did not leave the gang, but Trelawney was in a similar state to before. Compared to them staying in the camp He was waiting for food inside, but now he was doing things outside with Arthur, which would actually bring more benefits to the camp.

At least, that's what Hosea told Dutch.

Dutch felt that this was also the case. He was thinking about it while driving the carriage. He thought about it a lot.

Soon, the group of people had walked half the distance, but at this time, Dutch suddenly stopped the carriage in front, and the team behind them had no choice but to stop.

Hosea saw this situation and quickly came forward from behind the team. He found Dutch who had stopped the carriage and asked:
"What's going on? Dutch."

"Turn around, we're not leaving today." Dutch lowered his head firmly, then looked at Hosea and said.

"...?"

Hosea looked confused, and then heard Dutch continue:
"I figured it out. I knew what I had left behind. It's really ridiculous. I almost really... compromised on all this. This shouldn't be me."

"I, Dutch van der Linde, will never compromise."
