48 Hours a Day

In recent times, there has been a cloud over Terrence Manor that has been crushing everyone's mind.

Leah went to the kitchen to get breakfast for Malcolm and looked unconsciously into that empty corner, just three weeks ago, where there was a familiar face, but as Nadia was accused, he was dragged directly out of the kitchen by a supervisor.

By the time Leah saw him again, he had been stripped of his adulthood by a whip, and Nadia, the warden, with her flesh and blood, had rushed through the house, and Leah's heart was filled with fear, but she was still trying to be calm.

But the truth is that she had nightmares almost every night these days, and dreams of those supervisors coming at her.

In fact, anyone who came into contact with Nadia during this period was called out for questioning, and many did not even come back, but she accidentally escaped breakfast for Malcolm every day, and no one has come to her so far.

Malcolm had looked at her differently since she was sold to Terrence Manor, and had been nice to her with other people, including butlers.

Yet Leah knew very well that it was not because of how important she was, that once she lost this "other look” she was no different from the other slaves in the estate, after all, their lives and deaths would still depend only on the anger of the owner, Malcolm.

And at this particular time, her experience is particularly evident.

But when she was upset, she got word of Laerie again.

After Nadia's capture, the channels of communication between black gladiators and people in the estate were severed, making it much more difficult, especially now that there is a tense atmosphere everywhere, the black slaves in the estate are strictly forbidden to contact anyone else, even those who go to buy groceries are replaced by two supervisors.

It took Laerie a lot of effort to find a new messenger, not a black slave, but a small priest of the Foreign Evangelical Missionary Society (approved by the British Crown in 1701 and founded by Thomas Bray to preach Indian, Black and White to North America, with limited success in history), who came every day to preach to the black slaves in the estate.

Laerie bought a little priest with a gold coin sponsored by Zhang Heng and asked the little priest to bring him in, but this time, in order to protect Leah, he did not ask the little priest to bring her directly to Leah, but asked him to find another girl in the tribe before she told Leah and the others.

Laerie set the time for her escape two days later, which was also the day Leah usually organized the study for Malcolm, but this time she took the opportunity to bring out all the correspondence and correspondence relating to Normand and Raymond.

The day was also chosen to reduce Leah's risk of letter theft and she could leave the estate as long as she stayed out of sight until the evening.

Later, Laerie had asked the little priest the day before to bring weapons such as daggers and short guns into Terrence Manor, but this time it was rejected by the little priest, who had merely looked at the black slaves and earned some extra money, but had no idea that Laerie would make things so big that he would immediately bow down when he saw those weapons.

But it's too late to quit because I don't know how much longer Nadia can carry, and Laeri doesn't intend to wait any longer. He doesn't have time to look for new contacts, and he can only wait another week if he misses this week.

So Laerie kidnapped the latter's brother after apologizing to the little priest, thereby threatening the little priest's cooperation. The little priest had no idea that his temporal sympathy had led the wolf into the room.

He realized that what he was facing was not a man or woman of faith, but a beast full of dangerous breath, and that the other side had a natural hostility towards the white people who enslaved his own people, so that he could save his people from the fire pit, even if it was hell in front of him, he did not care about the so-called benevolence.

It was too late for the little priest to regret that he had to go on a thief boat for his brother's sake.

He returned to Terrence Manor with a carriage of bread in the name of feeding the slaves. The housekeeper felt strange. The church had not been able to help the poor, but generally did not, because the slaves were the owners' property, and the church did so in silent protest that the owners of the slaves had not fed the slaves.

However, the little priest said that everyone was the children of the Creator, and that the housekeeper could not dispute the lack of poverty and riches. Anyway, the people from Malcolm to below were kind to these clergy.

In particular, it was admirable that those people were willing to give up their lives in England or colonies and go to a barren, backward and barbaric world.

Plus, the little priest is also a regular visitor to the estate, and the butler didn't check the carriage's bread much and let it go.

And the little priest was actually nervous and about to bite his tongue.

He hurried his wagon to the empty space of the usual sermons, and the supervisors cooperated to drive the niggers over. It was almost time to eat, and the sermons were usually carried out during this time in order not to delay the work of the niggers.

But the little priest was probably really nervous today, and he didn't say much.

Fortunately, the supervisors were not very interested in this kind of thing, they were all gathered on the other side to play cards, did not notice the abnormality of the little priest, while the black slaves were the best listeners, even if they found the little priest's words to be unsatisfactory today, they simply listened silently and did not complain about anything.

In fact, the vast majority of people are bright and ignorant of what they say to the little priest.

It took about 10 minutes for the little priest to finally say the same thing, wipe the sweat off his forehead and start distributing bread to the niggers.

After making sure that everyone had bread in their hands, he took the four bread baskets at the bottom of the carriage and walked in the direction of the house, where he was stopped by an escort as soon as he got to the door.

The little priest knew that at the most critical time, success and defeat were here, and said without waiting for the opposite question, "I'm here to deliver bread, there are also a lot of slaves here. ”

“Sorry, you are not allowed in without an invitation. ”

“I have the permission of the Queen to preach on this land, and there's actually no place I can't go.” The little priest tries to make his voice sound reasonable.

Yet the two guards across the street were still indifferent, and the housekeeper Wallace's laughter came from the lobby just as the little priest wondered how to proceed.

“You can't stop him, Father Tim is the bravest man I've ever added. I heard him hike in North Carolina once for three days and three nights. Let him in. ”
