Recently, there has been a cloud over everyone's heart over the Terence Manor.
Leah went to the kitchen to get breakfast for Malcolm, and subconsciously glanced at the empty corner. Just three weeks ago, there was a familiar face there. However, as Nadia was reported, he was dragged directly by the supervisor. Out of the kitchen.
By the time Leah saw him again, he was already stunned by skin whip. The supervisors hurriedly passed the room carrying Nadia, the flesh, Leah's heart was full of fear, but she tried to make a pair. Come calm.
However, the fact is that she has nightmares almost every night these days, dreaming that the overseers also came to her.
In fact, during this time, anyone who had contact with Nadia was called out for questioning. Many people did not even return, but she gave Malcolm a breakfast every day and escaped unexpectedly. No one has come to her so far.
Malcolm had always looked at her differently since she was sold to Terence Manor, and she was very polite to her, including others, including the butler.
However, Leah is very clear that this is not because of how important she is. Once she loses this "look at it", she is no different from the other slaves in this manor. After all, their life and death still depend on Malcolm. The owner's mood.
And during this special time, her experience was particularly obvious.
But just when she was disturbed, she got the news from La'eri again.
After Nadia was arrested, the channel between the black gladiator and the man in the manor was cut off, and it became much more difficult. Especially now there is a tense atmosphere everywhere. The black slaves in the manor are forbidden from contacting outsiders. Even the people who went to buy food were replaced by two supervisors.
It took a lot of effort to find a new messenger. The latter was not a black slave, but a Gentile Evangelical Association (approved by the British royal family in 1701 and established by Thomas Bray. Black and white missionaries, with limited success in history), come daily to preach to the black slaves in the manor house.
Laeri bought the little priest with the gold coins sponsored by Zhang Heng, and asked the little priest to bring him in, but this time to protect Leah, he did not let the little priest directly bring a message to Leah, but let him Find another girl in the tribe first, and then let that girl tell Leah and others.
La'erli set the time for the escape two days later, which is also the time when Leah usually organizes his study for Malcolm, but this time she will use this opportunity to associate it with Normand and Raymond and the letters. Bring it out.
The reason for choosing this day is to reduce the risk of Leah stealing the letter, as long as she persists until she is not found at night, she can leave the manor.
Later, Laeri also asked the little priest to bring weapons such as daggers and short muskets into the Terence Manor the day before, but this time it was rejected by the little priest, who originally only watched the poor slaves and made some extra money , But did not expect that Laeri would make things so big, he immediately persuaded to see those weapons.
But it ’s too late to quit, because I do n’t know how long Nadia can carry it, and Laeri does n’t plan to wait any longer. He has no time to find new contacts. If he misses this week, he can only wait. one week.
Therefore, after lamenting his apology to the priest, La'erie abducted the younger brother to threaten the priest's cooperation. The priest had no idea that he would lead the wolf into the room because of his temporary sympathy.
Only then did he realize that he was not a man of good faith, but a beast with a dangerous atmosphere, and that the other party was naturally hostile to the white people who enslaved his people, in order to save his people from the fire pit. Even if it was **** in front of him, he didn't hesitate to care about the so-called benevolence.
The little priest now regrets that it is too late, and he can only bite the bullet and get on the thief boat.
He returned to Terence Manor with a cart of bread in the name of distributing food to the slaves, but the housekeeper felt inexplicable. The church did not help the poor, but in general it did not help the slaves, because Black slaves are the owner's property, and the church is doing this in silent protest against the black slaves' failure to feed the black slaves.
But the little priest said that everyone is the creator's people, and the lack of richness and poorness makes it difficult for the steward to refute. In any case, people from Malcolm to the following are still very kind to these clergy.
In particular, these people are willing to give up their lives in England or the colonies, and it is admirable to run into this barren and savage world.
In addition, the pastor was also a frequent visitor to the manor, but the steward did not check the bread of the carriage and let it go.
At this time, the little priest was actually nervous and was about to bite his tongue.
He drove the carriage to the open space where the sermons usually preached, and the overseer drove the black people over. At this time, it was almost time to eat. In order not to delay the work of these slaves, the sermons were usually during this time. ongoing.
However, the priest is probably too nervous today, and he can't speak incoherently.
Fortunately, those supervisors had no interest in this kind of thing, and they all gathered on the other side to play cards. They did not notice the abnormality of the little priest, and the slaves were the best listeners. Even if they found that the little priest was unsatisfactory today, it was just silent Listen, I won't complain.
In fact, the vast majority of people looked indifferent and did not understand or care about what the little pastor said.
It took about ten minutes ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The little priest finally talked about everything, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and began to distribute bread to the slaves.
After ensuring that everyone had bread in hand, he carried the four bread baskets at the bottom of the carriage and walked towards the house again. As a result, he was stopped by the guards as soon as he reached the door.
The little priest knew that when it was the most critical time, the success or failure was in one fell swoop, and he said without waiting for the question. "I'm here to deliver bread. There are also slaves here."
"Sorry, you cannot enter without invitation."
"I have the Queen's permission to teach in this land, and there is actually no place I can't go." The little priest tried to make his voice sound righteous.
However, the two guards on the opposite side were still indifferent. Just when the little priest was worried about how to continue, the laughter of the housekeeper Wallace came from the hall.
"You can't stop him. Father Tim is the bravest man I've ever added. I heard that he once walked in North Carolina for three days and three nights to preach. Let him in."
