"Let's wait for news, now go to sleep!" Sheffield said vaguely. Every time a Subway stronghold was discovered, Westin sent back an overseer to tell Sheffield that Westin's main task was not to arrest people but to pursue them, as long as they intercepted the black slaves before they left Louisiana.

It seemed that these overseers on tall horses were majestic, but Sheffield estimated that this was still a handsome ending of no more than three seconds, which was natural, and the black slaves that Lincoln and the others were carrying were all wearing anklets, and the speed of escape could not be raised at all. Not long after Westin broke out of the plantation, they were forced to dismount and pursue on foot, and just as Sheffield thought, it really became a handsome ending that lasted no more than three seconds.

After Sheffield went back to sleep, when he got up, he was greeted by a basin of warm water and towels, clean leather boots at his feet, a black girl wearing an apron waiting for Sheffield's orders, Sheffield sighed secretly after washing, "It's really more and more like a slave owner!" ”

"Gracious master, what more do you command!" The black girl cleaned Sheffield's house and stood aside, waiting for Sheffield's orders.

"Rice, Lincoln asked you to come to me, right?" Sheffield moved for a moment and squinted at this black girl and asked, this black girl was bought by Sheffield with Lincoln to the slave market, and Sheffield found that there were several black slaves on the plantation who should have a family, so he bought a few black girls, this black girl is the wife that Sheffield bought for Lincoln, and the full name of the black girl is Rice, Lincoln, and Sheffield.

It is not surprising that the black slaves of the entire Sheffield plantation were surnamed Sheffield, and that the black slaves of the plantation followed the surname of their masters, and that the situation of the Sheffield plantation was representative of a considerable part of the southern plantations. Lincoln is the name of the black girl following Lincoln, the middle name represents the relationship between the person and the relatives, outsiders generally do not call the middle name, and they are not allowed to investigate the details, and even the court does not recognize the middle name as part of the legal name. Surnames are passed down from generation to generation in the family. According to U.S. law, a woman is required to use her husband's surname after marriage, and even if she is divorced, it should be retained, and the unmarried surname cannot be restored without a legal decision. That's a great law, isn't it? It fully embodies the slavery that our great America has done in the face of equality between men and women.

So the name of the black girl became like this, as soon as this name went out, others knew that this was a slave on the Sheffield plantation, and her husband's name was Lincoln! "Lincoln says it's safer to be around the owner......"

"Are you afraid that an overseer will bully you?" Sheffield glanced at Rice, who could only be regarded as average among blacks? Is it really as strong as white taste? Ordinary white people wouldn't dare to do that, would they? He Sheffield is the master of these black slaves, and it should be his ...... if he comes, phew, Sheffield won't have such a heavy taste, and said tremblingly, "Then you stay here, Lincoln will be back soon, and a white man will come to me if he does something to you......"

Sheffield really didn't mean anything about the black girl, the only thing he was worried about was whether the black girl would do anything to him while he was sleeping. At that moment, the sound of footsteps from far and near, drawing the attention of Sheffield, who was lying on the table to write about the black slaves' work today, a white man in a cowboy hat walked in and shouted, "The first Underground Railroad stronghold is in a cabin by the river, and the abolitionists who took the black slaves crossed the forest and settled there...... This white man was one of the people who pursued with Westin.

...... tearing up, the pencil in Sheffield's hand broke due to excessive strength, and the white paper on the table was also torn! Sheffield stood up abruptly and shouted, "They're on board?" Hurry up and inform Taylor's Manor to chase me, twenty black slaves are enough to bankrupt a medium-sized slave owner! ”

"Master Sheffield, they don't have a ship, Westin guesses they're waiting for the night to escape by land!" The white overseer hastened to speak Westin's judgment and reassure the underage manor for a while.

"Oh, I don't even pay attention to these little scenes!" Sheffield sat back in his chair, as if the fried guy just now was not him, and ordered, "Spread the news, Sheffield Manor has more than 20 black slaves fleeing, let other plantation owners in the city know about this, and provide useful clues Sheffield Manor has a heavy ......"

Calling the white overseer, Sheffield reopened a piece of paper without a little embarrassment, "I'm going to talk to Redden, you can first copy the plan you just broke down......"

The time soon came to night, Sheffield's hut was quite lively at this time, Redden took all the remaining overseers in the manor to put on, the rifle in his hand stood upright in the sky, and listened to the second person sent back by Westin to speak, "In the riverside hut just now, a white man with Lincoln's black slaves has left the stronghold, and there is only one white man and two left, Westin has already led people to continue the pursuit, I came back to report, and there is another person there to monitor them......"

Sheffield listened carefully to the overseer's report, and suddenly glanced at Raidon and said, "Get ready, get these Yankee thieves back for me!" ”

"Let's go!" Sheffield gave an order, and the dozen or so overseers who were with Redden all stood up at once, and in a few seconds Sheffield's house, "Les, sweep the floor, open the windows and let out the smoke......"

This time Sheffield's hard work during this period of time was not in vain, and he was finally able to ride his horse with his head held high, and there was no need to always put a donkey in the stable, and the little donkey was quite pitiful, and he stayed with a group of tall and strong guys every day.

Sheffield's men were at a brisk pace, and in less than half an hour they reached the riverside hut, "Do you want to find a reason to cheat out?" This is the first time that Redden has used his brain in front of Sheffield, but considering the sound of riding a horse running, Sheffield can only say that his brain might as well not move, and said coldly, "Knock on the door directly, they already know that we are coming, as long as I call you, they will arrest me!" ”

There is no soundproofing in such a large moving hut, and the people in the house do already know that a group of uninvited guests are coming outside, Sheffield and these people dismounted, and Raiden immediately knocked on the door with a gun, and the loud knock on the door seemed to tear down the cabin, "Who, what is the matter with you?" A white man who looked to be in his thirties asked.

It's not a local accent! Sheffield came over with a flash of thought and said, "I am the owner of the Sheffield plantation, yesterday I had more than twenty black slaves escaped, and I and these overseers are currently chasing, I wonder if Mr. saw anything strange today?" ”

"No, I didn't see anything today!" The white man said calmly, "It's calm here......"

Still a veteran? It's the first time you can do this kind of thing, and you won't be nervous! Sheffield smiled, turned around and pretended to talk to the overseer behind him about how to pursue, he must not be able to run far, and then beckoned this person to come over, as if to ask about something, this white man did not suspect that he walked out of the hut for more than ten meters, Sheffield smiled and the man shook hands and said, "Yankee thief, you are so bold, you stole from my head!" ”

The face of the white man shaking hands with Sheffield changed, and Sheffield shouted, "Rush into the house and get the inside!" As soon as he finished speaking, Raidon, who was less than five meters away from the hut, rushed into the house first, and five or six overseers followed suit, and there was a sound of smashing things from inside the room, and a minute later Raidon dragged out the two black men with cracks in the corners of their eyes.
