To be honest, when he came to the Vanderlinde Gang, John had a long-lost sense of belonging, not because of the reunion with his good brother Miller, but because of the general demeanor of the gang, the personal charm of the gang leader Dutchy, and the wonderful sense of unity of the gang, like a group of sheep being driven by wolves to the edge of a cliff, and the sheep working together to break through the wolf fence. These feelings were John's first impressions of the Van der Linde Gang, and he will feel more in the future.

The air from the Horseshoe Lookout is really fresh and clean compared to Annisberg, and there are no towering chimneys in this pure land, and there are even few people. The environment itself is very beautiful, it is built on the mountain, the grass is delicious, the leaves are flourishing, you can not only look into the distance, see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, but also take in the beautiful scenery of the valley and plain next to the mountain, and sometimes you can see the rainbow if you are lucky. It can be said that the Horseshoe Lookout expresses the scenery of the western mountains to the extreme.

John got up from the blanket, ate something, and applied a plaster to his slightly aching nose, and he saw Tarn waving at him with a spoon, and Tarn got John's attention and pointed to Ducky, who was standing under a tree admiring the morning sun rising in the east. Ducky was dressed in a Radcliffe suit, with a Rushwood red shirt underneath, and a Philcroft hat on his head casting a round shadow in the sun, and the whole person looked like a sheriff.

"John Coaster, I want to apologize once again for yesterday's impulsiveness, the net we laid has not been effective for a long time, and I am very annoyed in my heart." Dutch turned his head to see John and took the initiative to speak.

"He who does not know is not guilty." John simply responds that he finds himself more accommodating than before, more tolerant of misunderstandings to happen.

"So...... You see, that gold brick, the one you picked up in the pool of bliss, is a lot of money to be distributed to everyone, but we need more money, the gang is in its embryonic stage, and it needs money to grow, and besides, Detective Pinkerton has been chasing more and more tightly lately, and we need money to pay bounties and bribe officials, otherwise we can't survive at all, I hope you understand, John. ”

John nodded thoughtfully, the character of Ducky is quite famous in this area, the Vanderlinde gang he led has also been mixed up after several ups and downs and changes, he and his gang are a thorn in the side of Detective Pinkerton, and following Ducky will definitely suffer a lot of losses, but there are also greater gains.

"John, do you know anything about the inheritance of the three brothers?" Ducky twitched his neckline.

"Uh...... No more than you. However...... "John remembered something," the strike in Annisberg may have something to do with it. ”

"I've heard, isn't it just an ordinary workers' strike, what does the consequences of the unlimited exploitation of the capitalists have to do with the three brothers?"

"What you don't know is that there's gold on the walls of the mine." John said.

Ducky didn't say anything more, but lowered his head in thought, and John wondered if he was having some bad idea again.

"I believe what you say is true. Gold underground, plus mine caverns...... We can speculate that the gold was buried by the three brothers without being discovered, and as a result, a fortuitous landslide reexposed the gold to the public. Ducky said.

"Accidentally? I prefer to believe that someone did it. John made a conjecture in his mind.

"If it was man-made, who would have planned and carried out the accident? …… The federal government has explicitly proposed a ban on explosives, which can be ruled out in the first place by the three brothers or individuals. Ducky took out a solid wooden pipe, put some tobacco in it, lit it, and smoked, "In that case, the perpetrators are a group, and I can't think of anyone but the James family in Anissberg." ”

"How so? That's their own mine!" John really didn't understand the validity of this speculation.

"John Coaster, haha, you're still new to the world, which is more valuable than a large piece of gold or a mine? James must have heard about burying gold from somewhere before making this decision. ”

"That's nine lives!" John shouted.

"Life is the least valuable thing in their eyes, and it is not an exaggeration to sacrifice their families for money, let alone mine workers." Ducky said, spreading his hands.

"But they dare to hide such an inhuman thing."

"So, we're going to make their deeds public, but there's a pay, and the reward is the gold in the burrow." Dutch watched as the slowly rising smoke, the fickle green smoke at a certain height blending with the morning fog.

"What?" John didn't believe his ears.

"Ahaha, were you shocked? Young boy, some things in the world are not black and white, we must draw nourishment from the things around us to survive, no matter how incredible, my former brother can understand this truth better, he is also called John, but his surname is Marston. Ducky snorted, "I have a plan!" A really good plan! It was as if we had our names on it in gold: Ducky van der Linde, Fantesi Ira, Beth-Strytletter, Ella Stryle, Catherine...... Miller Jedsand, and you John Coaster, we'll get rid of Detective Pinkerton after this ticket, and you can leave and do what you want, and I'm going to Papeete, Tahiti. John, you're new here, but I don't want to treat you like a human being, I've heard of your marksmanship, you can stop the enemy for us outside the hole, I've got a way to get dynamite, bam! Then you will come in and get the gold. ”

"Ducky, this is too risky!" John said.

Ducky gave John a disdainful look: "We all know the high stakes, the high profits, my whole life has been desperate and never missed, my legend is written in the state newspaper and the bounty order, and my plan has terrified people with some capital." As for those James, just hired some unreliable mercenaries, pluck up the courage, John, the opportunity to change your life is right in front of you. ”

This statement is similar to Miller's persuasion of John, who fears that the operation will bring him the same fate - several brushes with death, but John needs the money, the high price of gold can pay off all the bounties at once, and the remaining money is enough to buy a strawberry farm in Reagan County and find a school for Jason Jr. John's estate mirrors Ashley's father's vineyard, and the family is engaged in the crop trade, and whether it all can start depends on whether he takes the gold from the Anissberg mines.

"Okay, I'll join!" John said......
