When he woke up the next day, the old cobbler was frozen.

In the past two days, everyone has been hungry and full, and it is not good to rest or eat.

The old cobbler was old, and his body was not as good as that of the young man, and he could not survive the rain and snow of last night.

"What are you doing?"

"He doesn't need this beaver fur coat, we can use it."

Lin Yao took off the old cobbler's coat and threw it to Hawke, who was sitting on a stretcher.

Seeing this scene, everyone was silent for a while.

The dead are dead, and the living will continue to live, and they cannot waste any resources.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and I don't know how many difficulties are waiting for them in the future.

"Let's go, there's still a long way to go."

Lin Yao beckoned everyone to hurry, and this walk was half a month.

There were people in the first echelon who attracted fire, their evacuation was successful, and the Kree were not encountered along the way.

On the sixteenth day, they walked out of the reserve.

On the eighteenth day, they came to the city of Malta.

Malta City...

"Let's find a place to settle down first, and then ask the local landlords if there is any news of Glass and Henry."

Lin Yao and the others settled down in a hotel, Lin Yao and Hawke shared a room, and Taylor's uncle and nephew lived next door to them.

Took a shower and had a big meal.

Everyone went their separate ways, Lin Yao went to the sheriff to ask for information, and Taylor's uncle and nephew went to the bar to buy news.

At this time, the city of Malta was not the most important city in the northern region with a population of 600,000.

It was only a short time old, and it was more of a larger town than a city, with a population of just over 40,000.

Because the city is not large, it is relatively easy to inquire about things.

Lin Yao approached the sheriff and inquired, and soon learned that in the recent past, no outsiders had come at all except them.

"Glass, they haven't arrived yet, or we'll wait a few days!"

Taylor had also returned from the tavern, and he had no useful news.

In desperation, Lin Yao and his party could only wait with peace of mind, and another two weeks had passed.

The snow was falling, and the city of Malta was dyed in silver.

As time passed, the mood of the crowd became worse and worse.

It's been two weeks now, and according to the original agreement, Glass and the others should have been here a long time ago.

didn't come, it was likely that something went wrong halfway, such as not being able to escape the pursuit of the Cree.

The gloom shrouded everyone's hearts, and for several days, everyone's mood was very bad.

Hawke, who was gradually recovering from his injuries, stayed in front of the city gate all day, unwilling to believe that Glass was dead.

And just like that, another two weeks passed.

This is the 46th day after they were hunted down, abandoned the camp and moved to the city, and the 30th day after they arrived in Malta City.

On this day, Lin Yao got up early in the morning.

He called Taylor's uncle and nephew, and the three of them had breakfast together, and he spoke: "It's been a month since the appointed time, and although I don't want to admit it, Glass and they are probably dead." I'm calling you over this time to ask what you think, do we need to wait, and if not, what will happen to the shipment? ”

In the reserve, there are also precious furs worth $20,000, and if everyone else dies, the shipment will be theirs.

They could have organized another group of people to wait for half a month, and when the snow was bigger, they would quietly get the goods back from the reserve.

The Kree can't stay on the hill all the time, they are not cave people, and sooner or later they will have to return to the warm south.

That's their chance, and once the plan is successful, everyone gets a big piece of money.

"Strictly speaking, those furs belong to Henry Fur and have nothing to do with us."

Taylor looked hesitant, typical of being a watchman and wanting to set up a memorial arch.

Lin Yao scoffed at Taylor's idea and said, "Henry Fur Company still owes us a lot of wages, and now that Henry may be dead, we can't use fur to pay for wages, right?" Everyone has been out for a few months, what are you busy for, don't you say it's for justice! ”

"Well, I agree with the idea, it's just..."

Before Taylor could say any more, Hawke's voice rang out from outside: "It's back, it's back!" ”

Lin Yao and the others were stunned for a moment, and the words behind them were held back in their mouths, and they hurriedly stood up and walked out.

In sight, the gray-faced Grasse came from a distance dragging a sleigh.

Everyone looked up and saw that the pale boss Henry, who did not know whether he was dead or alive, was lying on the sleigh.

"What's wrong with Henry, is he dead?" These are Taylor's words

"What's going on, how did you get there?" This is William's problem

"What about the others, why just the two of you?" This is Lin Yao's question.

Glass glanced at them, tilted his head, and fell to the snow.

"Save people, save people!"

Everyone was taken aback and quickly called in a doctor to help save people.

Fortunately, Glass was fine, except for fainting caused by malnutrition.

But the boss, Henry, has a high fever and is unconscious, and the doctors are helpless about his condition.

The next morning, Glass woke up.

Questioned by the crowd, he told what had happened to the trip: "The sleet that night had caught Henry's chill, and we had to slow down in order to take care of him. Along the way, we fought the Cree several times, and everyone else died, but I was the only one who survived. ”

After speaking, Glass looked at Lin Yao and asked, "How is Henry?" ”

"It's not good, the doctor said that he has a high fever and doesn't know if he can get through it."

Lin Yao told the truth, the current medical conditions are relatively simple, and the special drugs of later generations have basically not appeared.

In this day and age, a high fever can kill you.

Coupled with the fact that Henry's condition has been delayed for a long time and the best time for treatment has been missed, it is difficult to say whether he will be able to come to his senses again.

"Henry told me that he still has a cousin here, and if he doesn't make it, let me sell the furs, settle everyone's wages, and give the rest to his cousin to take back."

Glass's simple words completely dispelled the expectations of Lin Yao and the others.

Sure enough, it's all fate, he thinks more than once these days, if Glass and they can't come back, how can they get 2,000 US dollars for each of them?

Looking at it now, I think it's beautiful, but unfortunately God doesn't agree.

Our big hero, Mr. Glass, brought back not only the unconscious boss, but also his last words.

Lin Yao didn't have to think about it to know that according to Glass's character, no matter whether Henry survived this hurdle or not, he would definitely fulfill Henry's wish.

"Mr. Henry said such a thing?"

Taylor expressed doubt, his eyes full of unwillingness.

You know, he is not a lone ranger like Lin Yao, he and his nephew are together, according to the distribution method of one person, the fur worth 20,000 US dollars is divided among four people, and the cost of bringing the fur back is removed, and the two people can also get 4,000 US dollars.

The $4,000 in 1888 will at least increase by 100 times in 2018, equivalent to $400,000 or 2.8 million yuan.

That's a lot of money for anyone.

If, according to Glass, only the basic salary was settled, and the rest of the money was given to Henry's cousin, they would not make much money.

"I swear to God, these are the exact words of Mr. Henry."

Glass said weakly, and then showed remorse: "But he fainted before he finished speaking, I don't know what his cousin's name is, where he lives, he didn't have time to tell me!" ”

Call!

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that I didn't make it clear, but now it's okay, I only know that Henry has a cousin, but I don't even know who he is, and I don't have to take the money to him.

Lin Yao complained in his heart that Glass was panting when he spoke, his basic salary plus bonus was only 530 US dollars, and he only had a basic salary.

$2,000 or $530, even fools know how to choose.

"Well, we don't know who Mr. Henry's cousin is, so it doesn't seem to be so much trouble. Let's think about how to bring the fur back, now there are five of us, and the money is divided into five cents, one for each person, and when we bring it back and sell it, we divide it. ”

Lin Yao happily proposed.

"No way!"

Glass refused without thinking about it, and denied: "Mr. Henry may be able to survive, wait for a month, but if it doesn't work, we are trying to figure out a way." ”

"Well, we respect your decision, it's just that Mr. Henry is in a bad condition, and the doctor doesn't think he'll survive."

Lin Yao said indifferently.

didn't notice at all that Taylor, who had always been a good old man, had a different look in his eyes.
