Chapter 245

244

recently, a cloud has been pressing on everyone's mind over Terrence manor.

Leah went to the kitchen to get Malcolm breakfast, subconsciously looked at the empty corner, just three weeks ago, there was a familiar face, but as Nadia was denounced, he was dragged out of the kitchen by the supervisor.

When Leia saw him again, he had been whipped by the whip. The supervisors carried the bloody Nadia out of the house. Leia was full of fear, but she tried to be calm.

However, these days, she has nightmares almost every night, dreaming that the supervisors are coming to her.

In fact, all the people who had contact with Nadia during this period were called out for interrogation, and many of them didn't even come back. However, Malcolm, who served breakfast every day, escaped by accident. So far, no one has come to find her.

Since she was sold to Terrence manor, Malcolm has always treated her differently, and others, including the housekeeper, have been very polite to her.

However, Leah knew that it was not because of how important she was. Once she lost this "special look", she was no different from the other slaves in the manor. In the end, their life and death still depended on the happiness and anger of Malcolm.

In this special period of time, her experience is particularly obvious.

But when she was in a panic, she got the news from raeli.

After Nadia was arrested, the communication channels between the black gladiators and the people in the manor were cut off, which made it a lot more difficult. Especially now there is a tense atmosphere everywhere. The black slaves in the manor are forbidden to contact with outsiders again, and even the people who go to buy vegetables are replaced by two supervisors.

Raeli spent a lot of effort to find a new messenger. The latter was not a black slave, but a young clergyman of a foreign evangelical Association (approved by the British royal family in 1701 and established by Thomas Bray to preach to the Indians, blacks and whites in North America, with limited success in History). He came to preach to the black slaves in the manor every day.

Laeli bribed the young priest with the gold coin sponsored by Zhang Heng, and asked him to take a message. However, in order to protect Leah, he did not ask the young priest to take a message directly to Leah, but asked him to find another girl in the tribe first, and then let the girl tell Leah and others.

Raeli set the escape time for two days. That day is also the time when Leah usually arranges Malcolm's study, but this time she will take the opportunity to bring out the letters and letters related to Norman and Raymond.

The reason for choosing this day is to reduce the risk of Leah stealing letters. She can leave the manor as long as she insists on not being found at night.

Later, raeli asked the young priest to bring daggers and short muskets into Terence manor the day before. However, this time, he was rejected by the young priest. The latter was just looking at the poor black slaves and earning some extra money, but he didn't expect that raeli would make things so big. Seeing those weapons, he immediately counseled him.

But it's too late to quit, because I don't know how long Nadia can hold on, and raeli doesn't plan to wait any longer. He has no time to find new contacts. If he misses this week, he can only wait for the next week.

Therefore, after apologizing to the young pastor, raeli kidnapped the younger brother of the latter, in order to threaten the cooperation of the young pastor. The young pastor did not expect that he would lead the wolf into the house because of his sympathy.

Only then did he realize that what he was facing was not a kind man or a kind woman, but a wild animal full of danger. Moreover, the other side had a natural hostility towards the white people who enslaved his people. In order to save his people from the fire pit, even if it was hell in front of him, he didn't care about the so-called vengeance.

It's too late for the young priest to regret now. For his brother's sake, he has to be brave enough to get on the boat.

In the name of distributing food to the slaves, he returned to Terrence manor with a carriage of bread. The housekeeper felt puzzled. The church did not help the poor, but generally did not help the slaves, because the slaves were the private property of their owners. The church was silent protesting that their owners did not feed them.

However, the young pastor said that everyone is the people of the creator, and there is no distinction between the poor and the rich. It is hard for the housekeeper to refute. In any case, people from Malcolm to below are very polite to these clergy.

In particular, these people are willing to give up their life in England or colonies and go to this barren and backward barbaric world.

In addition, the young pastor was also a frequent guest of the manor, and the housekeeper did not check the bread of the carriage.

At this time, the little priest was nervous and was about to bite his tongue.

He drove the carriage to the usual sermon space, and the supervisor cooperated to drive those black people over. At this time, it was almost time to eat. In order not to delay the work of these slaves, the sermon was usually carried out during this period.

However, the young priest is probably too nervous today, and his words are incoherent.Fortunately, the overseers were not interested in this kind of thing. They all gathered on the other side to play cards and didn't notice the abnormality of the little priest. The black slaves were the best listeners. Even if they found that the little priest didn't express his ideas today, they just listened silently and didn't complain.

In fact, the vast majority of the people were numb and didn't understand or care about what the young priest said.

It took about ten minutes for the young priest to finish what he was going to say. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to distribute bread to the slaves.

After making sure everyone had bread in their hands, he took the four bread baskets at the bottom of the carriage and walked towards the house. As a result, he was stopped by the guard as soon as he reached the door.

The little pastor knew that when it was the most critical time, success or failure depended on it. Without waiting for the opposite question, he said, "I'm here to deliver bread. There are many maiden slaves here, too."

"Sorry, you can't enter without invitation."

"I have the Queen's permission to preach in this land, and there's actually no place I can't go." The young priest tried to make his voice sound reasonable.

However, the two guards on the opposite side were still indifferent. Just as the young priest was worried about how to continue, Wallace's laughter came from the hall.

"You can't stop him. Father Tim is the bravest man I've ever had. I heard that in order to preach to him, he once walked three days and three nights in North Carolina. Let him in."
