170: Seeking a way out

"Captain Gerald, I heard that Glass's son was injured?"

Early in the morning, Lin Yao found Gerald and asked him pretending not to know: "The hunting team has a rule, at least two people go out hunting, Glass has always partnered with his son, and now that his son is injured, how can he go out hunting in the future and find someone else to partner with?" ”

"He can't find a partner, no one wants to work with this weirdo!"

Gerrard looked very happy and Glass had spoken to him yesterday about a new partner.

After looking around, no one wants to follow him.

This is not surprising, although Glass's hunting skills are excellent, his human skills are really average.

Every time he returned from hunting, Glass had the most prey, and many people were jealous of him.

However, he has an Indian son, and no one knows whether this is his own son or godson, and in this era of isolation of Indians, everyone naturally lacks a good impression of him.

Finally, and most importantly, every hunter knows that the captain doesn't like Glass, and the average hunter who needs to stand in line will stand with him.

"Half of the treasured furs in the hunting team come from Glass, and he knows where to hunt carnivores, and if he is not equipped with a companion and he is unable to participate in the hunt, the boss will be very unhappy to find out. After all, in such a ghost place, no one dares to act alone. ”

Lin Yao said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Gerald looked very unhappy, he suspected that Lin Yao was helping Glass say good things, so he said in a deep voice: "You have to be clear about your position. ”

"Of course I know that you are the captain and we should all listen to you."

Lin Yao put his hand into his arms, and under Gerald's gaze, he took out a silver pocket watch: "Captain, I have wanted to join the hunting team for a long time, the salary of the hunting team is so high, it is several times that of my apprenticeship, it is better to be fortunate to fulfill me, let me be a partner with Glass." ”

"You're partnering with Glass?"

Gerard took the pocket watch, looked at it twice, and then quietly put it into his arms: "Why should I agree, this alone is not enough!" ”

"Because you know very well that you can't refuse Glass's reasonable request, and if you continue to make trouble, the boss will also come forward and ask you to find someone to help Glass. I'm different, I didn't be a fur hunter before, and Glass took me with me, which is equivalent to taking a novice on the road, which will definitely delay his hunting speed a lot. ”

"And with me, he will no longer be able to ask you to match him a mature old hunter."

"You don't want to see him come home with a full load every time, do you?"

Faced with Lin Yao's answer, Gerald was silent for a long time.

After half a ring, he nodded casually and replied, "If Taylor agrees to this, you can come to the hunting party to report." ”

"I'll get Mr. Taylor's permission."

"Wait!"

Lin Yao was about to leave after saying this, but he didn't want Gerald to stop him again: "You only have 30 dollars as an apprentice, but you have 80 dollars as a revenant, don't you think you should do something?" ”

Under Lin Yao's questioning gaze, Gerald whispered, "If you give me $20 per month's salary, I think I will agree to this matter." ”

The corners of Lin Yao's mouth twitched, he underestimated Gerald's greed, but he didn't expect that a silver pocket watch couldn't stop his mouth.

The pocket watch was made of silver, and it sold for at least $30 in the city, making it the most valuable thing he had.

"As you wish, my captain!"

Lin Yao happily agreed, he had no room for bargaining now.

As for whether he will fulfill this agreement after getting his salary, it depends on Gerrard's ability.

"Lin Yao, where did you go, the other apprentices have started, only you haven't arrived yet."

When Lin Yao found Taylor, he was losing his temper at the workers.

When he saw that the person came back, he didn't give him a good face, and he didn't scold people directly, it was all for William's face.

"Foreman, I was called by Captain Gerald just now." Lin Yao trotted over and took the initiative to explain to Taylor.

Taylor frowned slightly and asked, "What did he tell you to do?" ”

"Gerald said that the hunting team was short of people, and asked me if I would like to go over and be a partner for Glass."

"What do you say?"

"I said I'd come back and ask you."

Hearing Lin Yao's answer, Taylor's face looked a little better, and he muttered, "Damn Gerald, their hunting team is short of people, am I not short of people?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Lin Yao again, "Do you want to go or do you want to stay?" ”

"The high wages of the hunting party."

Lin Yao did not reply directly, but let the money speak.

With this answer, Taylor knew his attitude, and after a short hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, I promised, you have to pay attention to safety, William is a friend of you in the camp." ”

In the past half a month, although Lin Yao has not had a relationship with Taylor, he has gotten along well with his nephew William.

Thinking of the friendship between the two, Taylor didn't say much, otherwise he wouldn't have let him go easily.

A cobbler is a cobbler, and a hunter is a hunter.

This opening can't be opened easily, otherwise everyone knows that hunters have high wages and don't want to work in peace.

"Thank you, Mr. Taylor, for a necklace of wolf teeth for you if I'm lucky enough to hunt a snow wolf."

Lin Yao didn't expect it to be so smooth on Taylor's side, compared to Gerald, who asked for benefits from him, Taylor's character undoubtedly stood out.

This also has to do with the profession of the two, Gerald is a hunter who believes in the law of the jungle, and thinks more about practical interests when thinking about things.

So to show it, Gerald is more greedy, he is willing to do anything for money, and he can't be moral with this kind of person.

Mr. Taylor is different, he is a leather maker, a craftsman who does not starve to death, and he has a stable income, as long as it is not the end of the world, even if it is two hundred years old, he will have something to eat, so his demand for money is lower than that of ordinary people, and it is generally relatively simple and easier to deal with.

With Taylor's approval, coupled with Gerald's consent, Lin Yao's becoming a hunter is basically a certainty.

Of course, there is a small problem in the end, he is an assistant to Glass, and Glass cannot strongly oppose him.

Lin Yao felt that this problem would not be a big problem.

The attitude of the members of the hunting party towards him, I believe that Glass is already clear.

It was difficult for him to find another partner, and he had no choice unless he was willing to hunt alone, or give up hunting and become apprentices to the cobblers.

The salary of the cobbler's apprentice is too low for Lin Yao.

Elite hunters like Glass may not look down on it even more.

As for solo hunting, don't make a fuss, this is an Indian sanctuary full of wild beasts, including aggressive black bears and wolves.

Believe me, you don't want to be alone, with a broken gun, in the mountains and forests to encounter a black bear.

Because of the many obstacles, it is difficult for you to kill the black bear with a single blow, and the opponent, as long as they are close to you, can easily kill you.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Glass?"

After receiving the promise from both sides, Lin Yao came to Glass's tent.

Inside the tent lay Glass's wounded son, the little Indian boy Hawke.

When Lin Yao came in, Glass was changing his son's medicine, and when he saw someone coming, he looked up and said, "I'm Glass, what's the matter?" ”

Glass recognized Lin Yao and remembered that he was an apprentice leathersmith who occasionally went to the kitchen to help.

'Captain Gerrard told me you needed a new partner and I thought I was the right fit.

Lin Yao looked at Glass and swore that he said, "My gun, it's unimaginably fast!" ”
