Chapter 588: loyalty
Noon ~ About three hours since Arthur left, Dach and Winter came back from hunting, and they had a full harvest as usual.
And everyone in the camp also welcomes everyone who goes out to hunt.
In addition to the money returned from the robbery, Dutch and Winter also purchased a batch of arms and seemed to be preparing for a big move.
Dach happily greeted the familiar people in the camp, and Peter informed Dach about the conflict between Trian and Arthur this morning~
After Dach listened patiently, his joy after the robbery gradually solidified, and Pete didn't continue to say anything when he saw this.
After thinking for a while, Dach got up and gestured to Winter who was drinking.
Wen Te walked steadily to Dach's side, "What's the matter?"
Dutch glanced at Winter and said, "Come out with me."
Then, without explaining, he directly rode on his albino Arabian horse, and Wen Te followed after thinking for a while.
The scene of Pete talking to Dutch has been noticed by Charles who was making arrows at the bonfire, but until Winter and Dutch left, Charles did nothing but continued to make his own arrows.
"What's wrong? Where are you going?" Wen Te asked puzzled.
"Go collect something~" Dach said.
"What?" Wen Te was puzzled.
"Loyalty~" Dach said with a gloomy expression, unwilling to say more.
After about half an hour, Charles finished making his own arrows, and then he took his daily hunting bow and set off on his own horse.
Pete said to him as usual, "Finally get a white-tailed deer back."
"It depends on whether you have enough luck~" Charles responded with a smile as he rode past Pete.
"I know how strong your hunting skills are~" Pete said with a smile.
Charles waved his hand, and then disappeared into the camp.
From morning until five o'clock in the afternoon, Arthur camped on the edge of a cliff that didn't look dangerous, with a swift river below.
He sat by the campfire, living with dried vegetables and bacon, he looked at the scenery on the edge of the cliff in front of him, and then he took out his diary in a good mood.
He took out his paintbrush and began to paint carefully. In just ten minutes, the scene in front of him appeared vividly in his diary.
"You've always liked drawing~" An abrupt voice came from behind.
Arthur was shocked at first, but then regained his composure.
Because this voice is familiar to him.
After a while Dach sat beside him and handed him a cigarette.
"Didn't you go to rob with Winter?" Arthur took it and lit it with a branch and smoked a few times.
"Knowing that you are leaving, I came here to take a look~" Da Qi also said in a lonely tone.
"Do you think it would be easier to leave? Your reward is so high ~ where can you escape? Why not follow us~" Dutch said the reason why Arthur could stay.
Arthur looked at Dach's side face and said silently, "We killed a lot of people Dach, we don't regret our death. If I can live a stable life for a month, I feel that I have earned it. If I can live a year , there is no pity to die."
"We kill to survive. You have been with me since I was a child. Don't you understand? What kind of world was that back then? Don't you understand?" Dach said puzzled.
Arthur nodded, instead of refuting, he responded calmly, "I know ~ I know ~ so I won't worry about how many people we killed in order to survive."
"Does killing evil make you tired?" Dach asked later.
"There are also~ but more is that I can't see you clearly, and the world is changing, we may survive without continuing to kill evil, but you are not willing to accept this fact, Dutch." Arthur still calm.
Dutch looked at Arthur's calm face and didn't respond for a while, but began to count his efforts over the years.
"I have taught you so much, and I have protected you so many times~ In the end, all of you betrayed your relatives?" Dach said incredulously.
Arthur looked at Dutch with a fluctuating expression and said, "My loyalty for many years is to give you these years of feedback ~ Dutch~ After I was able to shoot, how many years have I worked loyally to protect the gang?"
"Twenty years~" Arthur said without waiting for Dutch to open his mouth.
"I have dedicated twenty years to you~ Dach~ a full twenty years~ but this is mutual, I understand, I understand." Arthur continued.
"But times have changed, I just want to do something I love before I die, you know? I've been fighting for your freedom and ideals for twenty years, and now I want to see the whole thing for myself The Changed World~Daqi~"
"Isn't that worth fighting for together? What did I do wrong?" Dach asked back.
"It's worth it! It's worth it! Dutch, the beautiful world you describe is worth it, but we will never be able to do it! You understand! You are not wrong, we can't do it!" Arthur responded loudly.
"I've been trying for twenty years, and others have been trying for ten years, Dach~ we can't do it."
"I'm tired, let me take a good look at this before I die~ I haven't seen the world for decades~ Dach~ If you think I'm betraying you, you can draw your gun at any time." Arthur's tone Said to Dach calmly and firmly.
Dutch looked at Arthur's haggard face because of the wind and frost, he watched quietly but did not continue to speak.
Then Dutch really stood up and drew out his gun, aiming at Arthur's back.
He hoped that Arthur could give him some reaction, even if it was a slight reaction of shock.
However, to his disappointment, Arthur didn't give him the slightest movement, and he still quietly looked across the waterfall.
Even though Dutch was slowly pulling down the hammer, Arthur still didn't give him any feedback.
The picture at this moment seems to be still, viewed from a distance.
Daqi stood on the edge of the cliff with his revolver in his hand and pointed at Arthur sitting in front of him. The picture was motionless, only Daqi had a very tangled expression on his face.
I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how long Daqi hesitated, but the gunshot finally rang out on the cliff.
'boom! '
Even at night~www.NovelMTL.com~ gunshots startled countless birds and beasts in the mountains and forests.
And Arthur also fell under Dach's gunshots. After the shot, Dach turned around and left here.
Wen Te, who was smoking not far away, raised his eyes and looked forward after hearing the gunshots. After a while, Dach walked out with a disappointed face.
"It's a pity that this is almost the number one shooter in the West~" Winter said it was a pity, but his tone didn't seem to be a pity.
"Let's go back and plan how big the goal you told me is~" Dach turned on his horse in a cold tone, and then left here towards the path where he came.
On the cliff, the food in the campfire began to smell burnt because no one added water or turned it for a long time.
And the smell of burnt meat and vegetables began to attract some jackals, and the firelight made these few jackals who were attracted by the burnt meat afraid to approach, so they could only hover around the edge.
After approaching, the jackal was attracted by the **** smell of the fallen man, and seemed a little restless.
