Chapter 8 The Murderer Who Killed Arthur!
"I didn't expect to see you so soon..."
Rorschach turned his eyes and seemed to think of something, so he took another step and walked straight towards the man.
When he walked in, Rorschach found that there were only a few coins lying in the iron box.
Obviously, there are not many Valentine townspeople who have spared their energy to help other poor people...
Seeing the approaching young black-haired man standing behind the low table, he quickly stood up straight, opened his bloodshot eyes wide, and looked at Rorschach with anticipation: "Can this young gentleman extend your help to those poor and homeless people?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xia smiled slightly:
"certainly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached into his pocket, took out a stack of banknotes, counted out ten dollars, and then put them into the iron box!
Ten dollars is nothing to Rorschach, who has a net worth of nearly three hundred dollars.
However, such a generous number shocked the short man who raised donations for the poor.
Looking at the sharp contrasting few cents in the iron box and a small stack of dollars, the man tried hard to suppress his joy and excitement, "Oh, sir! This...this is too much..."
Roxa waved his hand and deliberately joked: "It's okay, I don't have many advantages except being handsome, kind-hearted, and helpful."
What's more, it's worth buying the other party with ten dollars for a good impression...
Hearing this, the man's mustache trembled slightly, and a smile finally appeared on his sad face:
"Hahaha, sir, you are so funny... and very generous. I thank you for your efforts for those in need."
After a pause, the man first raised his right hand and wiped his clothes, then reached towards Rorschach:
"Thomas Towns, the pastor of Valentine. Are you?"
When he heard the other party's name, Roxa instantly fell into memories...
Sure enough, he did not recognize the wrong person.
To a certain extent, the man in front of him who is raising funds for the poor and looks full of sorrow is the murderer who killed the protagonist of the game "Arthur Morgan"!
Of course, Arthur Morgan's death is the final result of many factors.
However, the biggest reason is the physical weakness caused by tuberculosis.
If Thomas Towns hadn't borrowed usury from the Vanderlin Gang member Strauss and then accidentally transmitted tuberculosis to Arthur when Arthur came to collect debts, Arthur would not have died!
At least you won't die from tuberculosis!
At the beginning, when he learned that Arthur died of tuberculosis, Rorschach also went online to check the strategy "How to keep Arthur alive".
In the end, the guide was not found, but he learned how Arthur got sick.
This is why Rorschach recognized Mr. Towns the moment he saw him!
However, Rorschach would not have any disgust towards Mr. Towns because of this.
Instead, he intends to help Mr. Towns.
After all, this is also a pitiful person...
"gentlemen?"
Reminding it back to reality by Towns, Rorschach smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I'm distracted..."
Then he reached out and shook Mr. Towns, "My name is Rorschach, I'm very happy to know you, Mr. Towns."
Mr. Towns' hands were very rough, which reminded Roche of his grandfather who had been working all year round...
Mr. Towns, who received a huge donation, was obviously excited:
"Mr. Rorsch, I know almost all the residents of Valentine, you are a little stranger..."
Halfway through, Towns seemed to remember something suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened, staring at Rorschach in surprise:
"Oh! You're the bounty hunter who stopped Anderson's gang?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Rorsch was stunned at first, and then he understood what Towns meant.
Obviously, the train robbery that happened yesterday has spread throughout Valentine...
With his hand stretched out his hat, Rossia raised his eyebrows lightly, "The news spread very quickly..."
Such an answer is naturally to recognize one's own identity.
"Oh, I heard that he was a very young and handsome bounty hunter, but I didn't expect that you were so young..."
Shrugging, Rorschach said casually: "Age is not a measure of whether a person can be brave, isn't it?"
“Yes, yes.”
He nodded in approval, and Mr. Towns, who was about to say something, suddenly a look of pain flashed across his expression, and then he suddenly lowered his head and coughed:
"Ahem cough cough..."
While coughing, he turned his body sideways, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and covered his mouth.
After a heart-wrenching cough, Mr. Towns stopped coughing and removed his handkerchief.
At that moment, a touch of bright red on the handkerchief made Roxa frown.
It seems that Mr. Towns had already suffered from tuberculosis at this time.
In this backward era when the drug for tuberculosis was not invented, tuberculosis is an incurable disease.
However, compared with acute cancers, tuberculosis is a respiratory disease that can relatively control or even delay the worsening of the disease.
Just rest more, don’t be too tired, have a balanced diet, and take care of yourself in a dry and warm place as much as possible, which can greatly delay the deterioration of the disease.
This is also the treatment plan given by the doctor who suffered from tuberculosis during the game. After seeing the doctor at St. Denis.
Of course, at that time, Arthur and the entire Vanderlin gang were chased around by Detective Pinkerton, so how could he stop and recuperate?
This also caused the final result, due to the worsening of the disease, a fierce fight with the gang traitor Mica on the mountain, and Arthur eventually died of exhaustion...
"Mr. Rorsch?"
"Um?"
To awaken Rorschach, who was distracted again, Mr. Towns clasped his hands together, looking very sincere:
"I just want to say, thank you again for your donations. I will make sure these donations are used for those in need!"
"That's good."
Perhaps it was the first time since the fundraising, I had met such a generous and kind donor, or I had a very good first impression of Rorschach, so Towns immediately asked for an invitation:
"By the way, Mr. Rorschach, tomorrow is Sunday, there is a week in the church. Are you free to come?"
For a devout believer, Mr. Towns hopes that this kind young man can also listen to God's gospel so that such a good person can receive God's blessing.
However, he didn't know that although the black-haired young man standing in front of him had the same skin as him, he had a hot and bright red heart in his heart!
God?
Sorry, who are you?
Of course, Roxar knew that he was in the United States and did not directly express his inner thoughts, but chose to make an euphemistic statement:
"Sorry, I'm chasing a criminal, I shouldn't be able to go tomorrow."
"Oh, of course, work is important..."
At this time, Roche glanced at the stable not far away, and thought of something, and suddenly changed his mind:
"Christian, tell me, how much do you know about horses?"
Hearing this question, Towns couldn't help but shake his head, then spread his hands and said to himself: "What I know about horses is at most, I'll ride on them. If it doesn't throw me off, it's already thankful."
"But my son Yaqi knows how to make those animals obedient..."
When talking about his son, Mr. Towns' face, which was deeply bitter and revenge, seemed to have a little light.
Obviously, he is very proud of his son.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xia raised his lips and said:
