Chapter 63: Land and Water Rescue

A few days had passed since Selosi domesticated the lion, and during that time, John was driven by curiosity to try to take various kinds of kale and explore its countervailing effects with Dead Eye. As a result, he was either drowsy or dizzy, but yesterday he found that chewing purple cabbage when opening the Eye of Death would bring him back to normal, so he prepared some dried red cabbage to prevent overuse of Dead Eye, and the powder of this thing could also be used to dilute snake oil to make a recovery potion with different effects. For John, this discovery meant that he had full control over the Dead Eye.

After the gang's night of carnival on the night of January 19, John lay down early, looked at the starry sky and fell asleep......

The morning mist blew away John's weariness, and also Papiti Verga, who was sleepy-eyed and in poor spirits.

"Mr. Coaster, I'm sorry to bother you, but I heard that you and Celesy subdued a lion together."

"Yes, how are the lions of Sylosi training?"

"It's not good, although this lioness doesn't bite, but she barks in the camp every day like an estrus, and Sai Luoxi can't take care of it."

"You've been busy for the past few weeks, how can you visit the house today, is there anything going on?"

"It's Anluber Virga, my youngest son, who is being transferred by bounty hunters to the impregnable prison of Sisica, and although he keeps sending me the message of 'Father, this is all planned', I know that he is playing with fire and thinking that he is in control. John, you must help me this time, Anlube's strength alone will definitely not be able to get him out of danger. ”

"You're going to have me hijack a team transporting prisoners?"

"Those bounty hunters are at best a patchwork of miscellaneous pieces, and according to Anluber's character, he can't do anything, and at most he will be imprisoned for a few days for insulting words or abetment, and he should not be escorted by heavy troops."

"If you want me to say, it's better to take this opportunity to calm him down for a few days."

"Mr. Coster, the last time those cavalry were beaten by us, and now they are holding on to Amlube, and even transferring him to the prison on that isolated island, which shows that those white people want to use Anluber as a punching bag."

"The two of us have been evenly tied before, and I should always be paid for saving people for you."

"You know, sir...... I don't have anything you can look up to, but Anlube, the kid, is so affectionate that he won't ignore your life-saving grace. ”

"I'll help you one more time, chief, and tell me where your son is?"

"A few of my clansmen will walk with you, and they know the location."

"Isn't Sylosy going to save his brother?"

"He said that lions can't be separated from people, but I know very well that the real reason is that the relationship between him and Anlubo is deadlocked."

"There are some things that I can't interfere with, but I must tell you that the gap between Sironsi and Anluber is evolving into an impassable chasm that threatens to tear your tribe apart in the future."

"How could I not know...... The most important thing for a father is not to take sides, you understand? ”

"I'm shouldering my father's responsibilities......"

As he spoke, two shirtless Indians approached and whispered a few words beside Papiti.

"These two are the henchmen of Sylosi, Caroque and Kesart, you can call them Falcon and Shark."

After receiving instructions from the chief, the man named Falcon shook John's hand: "If you often walk by water, you should know this place - Cape Clemmons on the eastern shore of Soldering Iron Lake. ”

……

"You say, with such a strong and healthy successor as the gluttonous lion, why should the head give birth to a hybrid?"

"He had only one child, and Maria was stripped naked at the time, and seduced him into giving birth to an illegitimate child with frivolous words."

"I heard that this girl has been quite depressed lately, why didn't Anluber take in his mother? It's heartbreaking. Have you ever been to see her? ”

"That bitch lives in a mud mire in a beaver cave, and after being dumped by Papiti, she's gone crazy."

"Maria is Irish, isn't she?" John interjected.

"Yes, sir. It seems that Sylosie has shared these interesting facts with you, and to tell you the truth, this Irish woman has almost all men involved, but when she found that she was gradually being left out, she began to seduce Papiti, and when she became pregnant, he kicked her away, and then Papiti took Anruber to her side. The shark said with amusement, completely unaware of the lake in front of him.

"Gentlemenβ€”" said the falcon, suddenly halting his horse.

John looked up, and through the mist on the iron lake, he could faintly see the houses in Blackwater on the other side, the shore of the lake was desolate and desolate, full of industrial exhaust fumes, and there was a fish-mouth-shaped depression, which was Cape Clemmons.

"That ship, I think it's Anluber's car." The falcon looked out over the lake, his eyesight as sharp as that of an eagle.

John looked in the direction of the falcon's finger and a bronze barge was pushing aside the calm water and slowly approaching the shore.

"Shark, I don't want to see more people die because of this idiot's actions." The falcon was about to remove the bow and arrow from his back when suddenly his hand hung in the air.

"Let's do our best to avoid casualties, Eagle." "What do you think?" Mr. Coster. ”

"I try." John paused for a moment, then inserted the pistol back into the holster, "It's best to get Anluber out without moving, if we can do it." ”

"I have a solution." "These barges usually have a door in the hold that leads to the bottom of the boat, and we disguise ourselves as a slenderman, go in and untie Aluber, and then let him swim back out of the water. ”

"Have you forgotten that Anluber is a landlubber?" Falcon shook off.

You Shark hesitated for a moment: "Then I'll go in and steal the day and let him come out of the deck." Then we meet on the shore. ”

"It's risky, but it's not impossible." John commented.

Then the three of them found three sets of patched old shirts, dressed up as ordinary slender men, and walked in the direction of the barge docking.

"Hey! Over there, come over here and take a hand. Sure enough, there was a bounty hunter on the barge greeting the three people who were loitering.

"We're not tugboaters." The falcon replied to him.

"I don't care who you are, fifty cents, and push this boat ashore."

John picked up a bundle of hemp rope and jumped from the dock to the deck, the weight of which made him sway for a while.

"Sir, please lift your feet." John tugged at the rope on the ground, nearly tripping over a bounty hunter who was smoking.

"Look at the dots! Would you like to try the bullets, old fellow? The blonde spat out the cigarette in his mouth and shouted harshly at John in disguise.

"I'm old, but it's okay to get rid of a little lamb like you." John said in a low voice.

The blonde was visibly enraged when he heard this,

When all the bounty hunters on board were attracted to him, the shark flashed into the hatch as planned, and after a while another person pushed the door open.

The man was dressed as a boatman, wearing the same straw clothes and trousers, and looked almost indistinguishable from the shark. As he approached John, he gestured his fingers to his chest with the letters A and W, which were the code codes that John had agreed with the shark, indicating that he was Anlube Virga.

Seeing that the time had come, the falcon walked up and parted John from the blonde.

"Old man, he's new here, and he's all eating with a mixed mouth, don't worry about an inferior person."

"Slow guy, take the money and disappear quickly." The bounty hunter at the bow of the ship threw some small denominations at the soles of their feet, and the three picked up the coins and walked away.

John changed his clothes and watched as the shark was soaking up wet from the water.

"The two uncles must have more important matters than me, please leave some time for me and this gentleman." An Lubo said excitedly.

The falcon and the shark grimaced and rode away, and John sighed as he looked at the back of the two sharks and the eagle as they left.

"Papiti said I could come to you and ask you for something in return."

"I didn't call you to save me, so I don't need to say anything thankful to you."

"Your father asked me to get you out, but I don't mind sending you to jail again."

"Please don't get me wrong, you may not be able to refuse my father's repeated requests, I can understand that. And I'll make it up to you, sir, but it will take time. I'm also half white, and I have to behave in a civilized way, and my father never understood this truth in his life. ”

"You shouldn't let your father down, Papiti values you very much, and your father wants you to ...... more than Selosi"

Ainlubeg interrupted John with a raised hand, "I'll only do what I think is right – leave it at that, John Coaster." ”

"You're not going back to the reservation?"

"I'm going to stay in the beaver cave for a while, and now I'm going to go back and the old man will beat me up in the face."

"To the Beaver Cave? Take refuge in your mother? ”

Suddenly, the sun was blazing, and the crimson sunset seemed to climb up Anlube's cheeks.

"I don't need outsiders to get involved in my family affairs."
