Chapter 9: Ice and Snow Funeral (Recommend!) Collect! )

Seeing Arthur running to instruct Lenny, Brandi looked back at Sadie, "Sister Sadie, what's the matter?" ”

Although Brandi has always called Sadie Mrs. Adler in front of people, in fact, the two of them have already been good sisters and brothers who have married Jin Lan, and the reason why he did this is because he still has a considerable degree of vigilance against some people in the gang, and he is not afraid to expose the relationship between the two before Sadie has completely transformed into a Valkyrie.

"I thought you had forgotten all about my sister." There was a hint of resentment in Sadie's tone.

"How so," Brandi smiled, "mainly because there are some people in the gang that I don't trust too much, and I don't dare to expose our relationship. ”

"Looks like you're getting along fairly well with these gangsters, and you've got someone you can trust so quickly?" Sadie still equates the Van der Linde gang with the Odrisko gang, and although half a month of getting along with her tells her that this is not true, she always thinks that extralegal fanatics are extralegal fanatics, and it is certain that they will do all kinds of evil.

Brandi understands Sadie's mentality, after all, her husband died at the hands of the vicious gang members half a month ago, and now although he is taken in by the gang and taken care of, some of the perceptions that have become stereotypes cannot be changed.

"Speaking of which, what's the matter with my sister looking for me?" Brandi decided to change the conversation back.

"I want to go and bury your brother-in-law properly," Sadie said, tears began to roll in her eyes again, "He's been lying in the snow for half a month, he's ...... He must be cold, even if he is dead, he will crave warmth, right? ”

"Alright, don't talk about it, sister," Brandi had never wanted to see the lady cry, especially when he saw that Shady, whom he regarded as a relative, was so sad, he helped wipe the corners of Shadie's eyes, "You go back and add some clothes, I'll go to them and borrow some tools, and we'll go back in a moment, okay?" ”

Sadie nodded, went back to the house, added a heavy shawl to herself, and put on a thick coat, and when she came out again, Brandi was already waiting outside with two horses.

Hosea, the second oldest in the gang, was helping to place tools like shovels on the horse, wrapping them in scrap leather and placing them on Brandy's horse. Seeing Sadie coming, Hosea lifted the brim of his hat, but the same gesture showed a different kind of gentlemanly demeanor: "Be careful on the road, Mrs. Adler, may your husband rest in peace." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Matthews." Sadie bowed deeply in thanks.

"Alright, Brandy, you guys stay safe on the road, although we've cleaned it up, it's hard to say if there are any remnants of Odrysco's people scurrying around here, go and get back quickly." Hosea secured his tools and said.

Brandi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it." ”

As she spoke, Sadie got on her horse. After a brief goodbye, the two rode out of the village of Coulters.

Maybe the weather was good, or maybe the two wanted to get to their destination quickly, and they traveled much faster than they expected.

"Sister!" When Sadie heard the shout, she subconsciously turned her head and saw Brandi throwing a double-barreled shotgun, and immediately raised her hand to catch it.

"It seems that you don't see me as a weak woman." Sadie checked the bullet in the chamber and said.

Brandi tossed some bullets and said, "I haven't forgotten who laid the foundation for my marksmanship." ”

Sadie rarely smiled, but it was gone. She looked at Brandi and said with some concern, "Brandi, what are your plans for the future?" ”

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"I mean, are you going to get into this gang?"

Brandy thought for a moment and said, "It should be like this in the short term." ”

"This is not the right way," said Sadie, "on your terms, you can find a decent job and spend your life in peace, so why take the initiative to wade into their troubled waters?" I know that Ducky van der Linde does seem to be different, and his gang doesn't look like a vicious criminal gang, but at the end of the day, they're still outlaws, they're still going to the gallows, they're ......"

"Sister," Brandi said, stopping Sadie's chatter, gesturing to the vague outline of the cabin ahead, "we're almost there, let's take care of my brother-in-law's funeral first." ”

The two of them went to the front of the house and tied up their horses. Brandi dragged Jack Adler's stiff body out of the abandoned wagon next to the barn, and Sadie burst into tears when she saw her husband's remains still intact due to the bitter cold.

The two of them chose a relatively soft open space behind the house, dropped shovels and dug pits, and Brandi was young and strong, and in a short time dug a tomb with a suitable length, width, and depth. There was no coffin, so the body had to be put in the grave. Then, the two of them filled in the snow and soil that had been dug up.

There were no tombstones, only rudimentary crosses made of wooden stakes removed from the fence, and Sadie tearfully carved her husband's name and the year of birth and death.

Looking at the tomb, which was no different from the nameless graves common in the wilderness, except for the extra name and the year of birth and death, Brandi didn't know what to say. He looked at the shoulder strap of the carbine on his shoulder, thought for a moment, held the gun in his hand, and pointed the muzzle towards the slightly dim sky.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The sound of gunfire echoed in the vast snowfield, as if to carry the sorrow of the two people, straight to heaven.

"Brother-in-law is a good person, right?" Brandi asked suddenly.

Sadie, who was kneeling in front of the tombstone and weeping, did not answer, only nodded slightly.

"But he's dead, brutally killed by the bad guys, isn't he?" Brandi asked again.

Sadie didn't speak, didn't move, just knelt in place.

"I don't know much about it, but I know that if good people deserve to be slaughtered, then there is definitely something wrong with this world," Brandi said, loading the gun one by one, "Maybe in the end, the law will give these people the judgment they deserve, but in this world, in this country, there are too many places that the law can't reach." Those bastards, who can become free citizens if they run to another place, are wanted for them like a pile of scrap paper. ”

Sadie was still silent, but Brandi could feel that the woman's state of mind was changing.

"So now the question comes back to us, how can good people like us protect their rights and interests in the current environment?" Brandi is now an orator, "I think we should hone our abilities, find the right backers, and then, carry out our own justice." ”

"The Van der Linde Gang is a great place, they are more thieves than bandits, they have a better view of many things than the vast majority of people in this society, and they have a lot of good players, and everyone has a special skill, and we can learn a lot of useful things from them," Brandi then locked his eyes on Sadie, "and, most importantly, they have a grudge against their brother-in-law's murderers, the Odrysco Gang. ”

Sure enough, when she said this, Sadie's shoulder shook violently, as if she had been empowered.

"Now, do you think there's a reason for us to stay in the Van der Linde Gang?" Brandi felt that he should have said enough.

Sadie slowly stood up and looked back at Brandi, her still tearful eyes flashing with a gritty light and a flame called revenge: "You're right, Brandi, we should stay in this gang and find an opportunity to take revenge on Odrysco." ”

Brandi nodded, he knew that his words had successfully acted as a catalyst, and it seemed that the Valkyrie of the West who had roamed the West and killed all sides would appear sooner.

"While revenge is indeed the game of fools, there are some things that are not done and will always be regretted. Letting go of hatred and resolving hatred will turn out to be pretty much the same. On the way back, Brandi thought.
