182: Deposit $1700

Glass did not follow up on Henry's cause of death.

Things settled like this, but everyone knew that they would never go back to the past.

The reason why the fur was still in the reserve was that everyone had no money.

In the next few days, Grass began to gather people to prepare for his return to the reserve.

They were going to gather ten people and twenty horses to go to the reserve when the next heavy snow came.

At this time, the Kerry people should have dispersed. If the action goes well, it only takes one month to go back and forth, and the money will be distributed before spring comes.

After three consecutive days of preparation, the team set off on the fourth day.

This time, led by Grass, Lin Yao and Taylor accompanied him, and Hawke and William were left to visit the house.

There were ten employees in the accompanying team who had innocent personalities and had no bad habits to transport twenty bundles of fur hidden.

The plan went smoothly, and there were no Kerry people along the way, and there were no emergencies.

They got the fur simply and easily and returned to Malta City as if they were on an outing.

It took only twenty-seven days to go there.

After returning to town, Taylor quickly found the buyer.

Twenty bundles of fur that cherished animals were sold for a total of 21,000 US dollars. After deducting the expenses and labor costs on the road, each person received 2,000 US dollars.

Grass was very trustworthy and he didn't want Hawk's share.

He knew that Hawke was able to survive, which was entirely due to Lin Yao and the other two. If he was sharing a share of the money, he would be ungrateful.

Grass let Lin Yao and the other two split Hawk's $2,000.

Among them, Lin Yao gave $600, and Taylor's uncle and nephew each gave $700.

The reason why he has the least is that Uncle Taylor's nephew is carrying Hawk with limited mobility all the way, so Lin Yao has no objection to this division.

"We are going back to our hometown. With this money, we can buy a store to do some small business."

After allocating the money, Taylor's nephew expressed his intention to leave and asked Lin Yao and the others: "What are you going to do?"

"Hauk and I plan to stay. The city of Malta looks pretty good. As wilderness hunters who have no fixed place, we should find a place to settle down. After all, Hauk is not young anymore."

Glass glanced at Hawke, and his eyes showed a doting look.

In fact, Hawke is not his biological son. Glass was injured during a wilderness exploration and was rescued by Hawke's mother.

At that time, Hawke was only four years old, and Grass chose to stay and live with that woman.

So he became Hawk's father. As for Hawk's biological father, he had long died in the local racial conflict. After a moment of ten years, it was time for Hawk to get married and have children.

"You're right. The children have grown up. I should find a wife for William when I go back."

Taylor rubbed William's head, then asked Lin Yao, "Where are you, where are you going?"

"I've gone home first. I haven't been back for a few years. Let's go back to see how it's going. From now on, I heard that some western towns are recruiting people. When I go, I'll give 30 acres of land plus three years of commercial tax exemption. I might go there to see it and find some small ways to make a fortune."

Lin Yao's ideas have not changed. Since he has come to this world, he has to have a wonderful trip.

He wants to become a monetary, make a lot of money, and enjoy the fun of money.

If possible, he also wants to become a household name. What a person wants in his life is nothing more than money, power, honor, etc.

Lin Yao felt very happy when he thought that he could leave a strong pen in history.

"Good idea, let's separate!"

Taylor waved at everyone and took his nephew William away.

Grass watched Taylor's nephew leave, and said goodbye to Lin Yao: "Good luck!"

"The same to you!"

Lin Yao nodded and waved his hand to Hawk and said, "Goodbye Hawk!"

Turn around and leave freely.

There is no banquet that never ends, and this is the way it comes and goes.

Lin Yao carried his luggage and wanted to go home to see what happened to his predecessor’s parents.

Since he took over this body, he should have taken some responsibility.

He is now a rich man, and he has received 2,600 dollars for sale, plus his own more than 100 dollars, which has given him a huge sum of 2,700 dollars.

In 1888, no, Christmas has passed, it should be 1889.

The 2,700 US dollars in 1889 is equivalent to the 270,000 US dollars in later generations.

Even middle-class families in the 21st century will not be easy to save this money.

According to official statistics, in the 21st century, families with deposits of US$300,000 are less than one percent.

"Before I go home, I have to change my equipment first. As the saying goes: not returning home without wealth is like walking in a night clothes for brocade."

"I haven't been back for a few years, so there must be many people who have been watching jokes. Once I go to this trip, it may be the last time I have visited my predecessor's parents in my life, so there is no reason to give him face."

Lin Yao must go back, this is the last obsession of his predecessor.

Making up his mind, Lin Yao went to the tailor shop.

After a long time of selection, he fell in love with a winter coat called Black Earl.

The coat is mainly made of black bear skin, which keeps warm and looks very generous.

This outfit also has a matching valley brimmed hat, a red stag jacket, saddle jeans, and a pair of long leather boots with red stripes.

After changing the clothes, I became much more energetic.

Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Looking at themselves in the mirror, they look like a famous fast gunner in Western movies.

When someone walked out and saw that it was impossible for a jean who could afford to wear this outfit.

"How much?"

Lin Yao turned around and asked.

The boss replied: "The complete set of Black Earl suits is $312."

It's so expensive. Nowadays, ordinary people's salary is only 30 yuan, and the salary for a piece of clothing is gone for a year.

Lin Yao still bought it, who made him like it?

Money is a very exaggerated thing. If you don’t bring it in life or die, investing in yourself will always be the most profitable.

"I want this set, remember to add spurs to the boots and give me a few pairs of socks."

"By the way, I'll need another set of musket gloves, $120 a set, and I'll use it to change it."

Lin Yao expressed his request and handed over five hundred dollars.

Half an hour later, he left the tailor shop with a fresh look and walked into the weapons shop not far away.

He needs a revolver, and the Colt m1883 can meet his requirements.

This is a single-action revolver that loads six bullets at a time, and one shot requires moving the trigger.

On the market, this is the best pistol sold, divided into three versions, Cavalry Edition, Army Edition, and Navy Edition.

Lin Yao chose the Army standard version, which has a shorter barrel and is more conducive to rapid fire shooting in the gun.

Most of the Western Cowboys in the movie use this kind of pistol, including the famous Western Boy.

He once shot and killed four gunmen seeking revenge on a street with a Colt m1883.

As for the rifle, Lin Yao did not buy it again.

He has the golden version of Carcano, which is more capable than most rifles on the market, and there is no weapon in Malta that is better than him.

On the contrary, Lin Yao needs to buy one horse.

At this stage, horses are the main means of transportation, and American horses can be on the train, which makes a good horse in short supply.

Lin Yao won a black Hungarian purebred horse, and the boss asked him for $480, and added $20 and gave him a saddle to the cavalry.

He did not refuse. Malta is a northern city, and the horses here are cheaper than those in the west.

If it were a western region where cowboys were herds, a solid-colored Hungarian purebred horse would not even think about it without $520.

After some busyness, Lin Yao's appearance changed drastically.

At this time, he was wearing a black bearskin coat, with bullet links around his waist, a rifle on his back, and a revolver inserted between his waist.

In addition, the pure-blooded war horse under his crotch and the black valley-brimmed hat on his head, just for his appearance, anyone who sees it would think he is a famous gunman.

When walking on the street in this outfit, most people dare not provoke you.

Of course, there may also be extremely vicious people who think you are a fat sheep.

"It's really like spending money, and you'll be gone for a thousand dollars!"

Lin Yao looked at his shrinking wallet and took the remaining 1,700 dollars to board the train back to Texas.

There, there is a small town called Shitou Town, which is the hometown of its predecessor.
