The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 243 The Beginning of Decline

As one of the legendary horses in the game, the Arabian White Horse has many advantages, but also a lot of disadvantages, such as: small size, not impressive enough to ride; timid, easily frightened when encountering predators, which are the most unbearable. Nothing is better than white which is not resistant to stains.

With the poor traffic conditions in the west, it won’t take long for a horse to turn from a white horse to a spotted horse.

Maybe for some people, this isn't a problem. It's just dirty as long as it doesn't affect riding.

But for the face-controlling lady, it is absolutely intolerable.

Therefore, since owning this Arabian horse named [Grape] by Li Ang, what she has to do every day is to brush Grape's hair and clean up the mud spots splashed on her body.

She would not give up until the horse was so white that it glowed in the sunlight.

And every time I do it myself, without the help of my subordinates, the reason is to cultivate a tacit understanding with the horse.

It's just that when Bella is brushing the horse's hair, she always likes to pull Li Ang along with her, so as to enhance the relationship between the couple.

Li Ang has no problem with enhancing feelings, but what does this 'by the way' mean?

When he fooled the horse, he also fooled him?

"What do you mean by fooling me? What you say is so unpleasant." Bella looked displeased: "Obviously I love Wujiwu. Because I love you, I cherish the gift you gave me."

"Since you slandered me, I will punish you by braiding Putao's tail!"

Li Ang was not as knowledgeable as the arrogant young lady, so he moved a chair and prepared to braid his ponytail.

Bella began to toss the horse's hair, as if she wanted to dye it into a color she liked.

Grape didn't object because it didn't dare.

The couple were playing around, and Bella suddenly asked: "Dear, why did you give the horse this name? Does it have anything to do with grapes?"

Li Ang explained solemnly: "It's a long story. Ciri's adoptive father is called Geralt. He is also my former teacher, and his horse is called Carrot, so the grape is called Grape."

Bella looked at her lover with a strange smile and couldn't help but frown.

What and what?

Having satisfied his bad taste, Li Ang found a pink ribbon, tied a bow on the tail of the grape, then put on the saddle, and he was ready to go.

He and the eldest lady are going to go to Shane Mountain today. This mountain is located in West Elizabeth State (the prototype of Drax). The journey is quite far, so they have to start early.

There is a town called Strawberry not far from Shangen Mountain. You can also stop by there for a stroll.

The other two sisters couldn't leave today. Archina had something to ask them for help. As for why she didn't ask the eldest lady, maybe she felt that she couldn't count on them.

Almost ready, Mr. and Mrs. Li Ang left the ranch with three ghost dogs and headed west to West Elizabeth.

Halfway through, the group met a man with a very long name. He claimed to be a famous explorer. He had a treasure map in hand and was willing to sell it to Li Ang and others for $10, while he himself was busy going to Shikoku Island to find a certain treasure map. A precious gem.

The Nether Dogs suspected that this person was a liar, because after their experience in the West during this period, they found that the West was more "unsophisticated" than the City of Night, and they encountered roadblocks, robberies, deceptions, and abductions every day.

But Li Ang knew very well that the man was indeed a 'treasure hunter'.

After some bargaining, he spent $5 to buy the treasure map and gave it to the eldest lady so that she could take her two younger sisters on a treasure hunt.

Out of trust in her lover, Bella accepted this extremely crude treasure map.

Farewell to the explorers, the group moved on.

Since the Easter eggs at the top of Shangen Mountain also need to be triggered at night, Li Ang decided to go to Strawberry Town to rest first.

This is a remote town located among the mountains. Unlike the livestock town of Valentine, it grew up due to the logging industry, but why it is related to strawberries is unknown. All they know is that the new local mayor is an eccentric from the East Coast who is obsessed with turning the town into his dream utopia, a vacation destination for the rich.

After hearing Li Ang's introduction, Bella thought Strawberry Town would be a good place. After all, the name sounded sour and sweet, but she was disappointed when she actually arrived.

Muddy roads, old houses, and poor public security. The only thing worth mentioning is that the air is a little stronger than Valentine.

But Strawberry Town is far smaller than Valentine. Thanks to the new mayor's policy of banning alcohol and guns, there are no pubs, no gun shops, and not even a decent clinic.

Fortunately, it has a hotel, and the decoration is much better than the one in Valentine, which is one of the few advantages.

Li Ang booked all the rooms on the second floor as usual, although they didn't plan to stay long.

It was the first time that the hotel owner saw such a generous guest, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the new mayor's plan might really have a chance to succeed.

Bella, who was disappointed with Strawberry Town, went back to her room to study the treasure map she bought.

Li Ang took two ghost dogs and wandered around the town with great interest.

It didn't matter that he was walking around, he actually saw an acquaintance.

The legendary rat - Micah.

In the original plot, Micah would be sent by Dutch to explore the road in West Elizabeth to determine the Fan Gang's next escape route. As a result, he encountered an enemy while passing through Strawberry Town, and a gunfight broke out after a disagreement between the two parties. Afterwards, Micah was arrested by the local police chief, and in the end it was Arthur who came to save him.

After being rescued, he slaughtered half the town in order to get back the gun confiscated by the Sheriff.

Li Ang didn't expect that after beating Micah half to death last time, he could still come here. It can only be said that the inertia of the world line is not that easy to change.

Now that we have encountered it, we cannot miss this opportunity that can accelerate the decline of the Fan Gang.

Having made up his mind, Li Ang asked the Nether Dog to find a way to reveal a message to Micah:

In a few days, a train full of rich people will pass near Rhodes Town. It is night and the defense is loose, making it an excellent target for robbery.

After receiving the order, the two ghost dogs deliberately pretended to be suspicious and passed by Micah. Words such as "train" and "rich businessman" popped out of their mouths from time to time.

This naturally aroused the greed in Micah's heart, and he didn't have much money left.

Originally he planned to draw a gun and question him directly, but considering that he was injured and there were two strong adults opposite him, Micah decided to follow him secretly to take a look.

Afterwards, the Nether Dog 'accidentally' revealed the location and time of the train's arrival. Even if the two's mission was completed, for the sake of safety, they did not rush back to find Li Ang to recover, but left Strawberry Town directly.

Back to Micah, after overhearing the news, he felt that an opportunity to make a fortune had come.

It's just that it's difficult for one person to handle this business, so he has to find a few helpers.

In fact, Micah left Horseshoe because he wanted to break away from the Fan Gang and fly away because he felt that Dutch was not loyal enough.

He was beaten half to death, so it was okay if the boss didn't help in revenge. He also gave Moxia the medical expenses compensated by the other party, without leaving him a penny. And he didn't even mention sending him to a clinic. He only knew how to fool him with old shabby herbs from Hosea.

But no matter how great the grievance is, it is nothing worth mentioning compared with money.

Micah decided to temporarily forgive Dutch. As for the future, it still depends on Dutch's performance.

Imagining the scene of trampling Dutch, Arthur and others under his feet after getting rich, the legendary mouse happily mounted the horse and hurried back to the horse's paw.

After driving for several hours, it was already dark when we arrived at the camp.

At this time, the Fan Gang was very lively. The members were singing and dancing around the bonfire, and Javier was playing guitar to accompany everyone, making it a happy scene. Seeing this scene, Micah's expression instantly became gloomy, and his crooked nose became even more ferocious.

After he left, not only did no one care, they actually celebrated.

Needless to say, this was definitely Dutch's idea.

In fact, the bonfire party was indeed proposed by Dutch, but it was mainly because Sean was rescued, the members were happy, and by the way, it also calmed the panic of Arthur and others.

Having witnessed Li Ang's terror, it was really difficult to sleep without getting drunk.

"Micah! You bastard, you still know how to come back. Dutch has been worried about you for several days!"

Although Hosea was old, his eyesight was quite good, and he saw Micah standing at the entrance of the camp at a glance.

His voice attracted everyone's attention.

Upon seeing this, Micah immediately put on a flattering smile and squeezed into the crowd: "I drank too much in the town, so I accidentally stayed a few extra days."

Everyone has no doubts about him. Several men in the gang often do this, and they are used to it.

Dutch said with a straight face: "After the meeting is over, you must explain to me why you left the camp without leaving a word."

Although Micah was very disgusted with his face now, on the surface he respectfully agreed.

Dutch was satisfied on his face, and his serious expression quickly softened, and he asked with concern: "Is the injury on your body feeling better? I left half of the money for you, remember to ask for it from me."

"Much better, Hosea's herbal medicine is very effective!" Micah bared his half-missed rotten teeth, looking as funny as possible.

Several ladies in the gang couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering.

At this time, Hosea said: "My herbal medicine is not that effective, but your recovery ability is strong. But I suggest you go to a larger hospital to have a look at your nose."

Micah pretended to be very open-minded: "Just crooked it, just right so that the bounty hunter can't recognize me."

Arthur, who was drinking, sneered and mocked: "As for your ugly face, I will never forget it once I see it."

Everyone burst out laughing when they heard this.

The top thug of the Fan Gang is not only ruthless in his attacks, but also has a particularly ruthless mouth. Except for a few women and children, almost everyone has experienced his poisonous tongue.

Micah was often ridiculed by Arthur and was used to it, but only he knew whether he held any grudge in his heart.

"Just drink, why are you talking so much? Come on! Drink!"

With the addition of Sean and Micah, all members of the Fan Gang were now present. The members were all happy from the bottom of their hearts, and the laughter lasted the whole night.

When everyone was drunk, Micah took the opportunity to talk about the train.

By chance, a girl named Marybeth in the gang also inquired about relevant information in Valentine.

After two confirmations, everyone felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Some drunk Dutch stood directly in the middle of the crowd and shouted: "Everyone, I have a plan! A plan that can solve most of our current troubles!"

Hosea quickly pulled the leader, who was staggering and almost falling into the fire, into a seat.

"I know what you mean, grab the train."

"More than that!" Dutch shook his finger at him: "I have a more subtle Plan B!"

But before he could reveal his plan, he fell drunk to the ground.

When Arthur and the other men saw this, they hurriedly helped their boss back to the tent, where his lover took care of him.

As soon as he came out of the tent, Hosea sighed: "He has been under a lot of pressure recently."

Arthur hesitated and said: "Because...that gentleman?"

Hosea shook his head: "It's not just because of him, there are many other problems in the gang that need to be solved urgently, but you don't have to worry too much, it will be over. Let's find a way to hijack the train first, the gentleman asked The payment date is coming soon.”

Arthur asked curiously: "How much are you prepared to give?"

Hosea held out five fingers.

"Five hundred!" Javier showed a shocked expression: "Ten Seans are not worth that much!"

Charles also wondered: "Is it a bit too much?"

Arthur said: "I'm not sure if we can get five hundred this time."

Hosea explained: "Originally I didn't plan to give him such a beating, but after what happened to Sean yesterday, I won't talk about it anymore."

Even if the old guy didn't say anything, everyone almost understood what he meant.

With the terrifying strength shown by Li Ang, a little carelessness may bring disaster to the gang, so the only thing is to give as much as possible, not to satisfy the other party, but not to bear grudge against them.

"From now on, I will avoid going around the Emerald Ranch." Arthur said with emotion.

Javier asked: "The train route shouldn't be nearby this time, right? I was playing the piano just now and didn't pay attention."

Arthur replied: "No, near Rhodes Town."

The Mexican breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I will have nightmares if I see him again."

At this time, Charles said meaningfully: "Sometimes, you can't hide."

"Go, go, go, go drink if you don't have anything to say!" Javier scolded hurriedly: "I don't want to listen to your Indians talking about that."

Meanwhile, the Strawberry Town Inn.

Bella changed out of the silver armor she wore to keep out the cold, and fell motionless on the bed.

"I'm so tired from climbing. My dear, can you give me a massage?"

Li Ang, who was playing with something, said helplessly: "I took you to the top of the mountain, and you didn't even take a step. You're so tired!"

Bella lay on her side on the bed, posing in an extremely seductive pose, and slowly lifted up a corner of her nightgown: "I'm just tired~, are you coming or not? I won't sleep if I don't come."

Facing the eldest lady's kind invitation, Li Ang really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

He threw the vaguely glowing mysterious object on the table and pounced on Bella on the bed like a vicious wolf.
