In Texas in May, the air was full of hot elements, marching through the fields, the oncoming heat was enough to suffocate people, and a team of forty or fifty horses galloped by, giving this arid place a touch of popularity. For the sake of safety, Sheffield set off with Redden and twenty overseers, and when the news of the preparation for the south was known to Annabelle, another team of thugs from Taylor's Manor followed.

Sheffield is naturally not refused, the safety of their own is of course the more people the better, from a man's point of view, it is really pleasant to be cared for by a girl, as an ordinary man, it is really unbearable to encounter this kind of thing, or to say that when men and women develop feelings, men are usually the first to kneel down.

It took a month, Sheffield and his party non-stop, even Beaumont, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, almost across Texas, today they have left the territory of the United States, of course, Sheffield is not in a hurry, he will stay in some places for a day or two, inquire about the local situation, but also to see where Texas has more space for development.

It's a pity that the railroad in Texas is still being planned, and the scarcity is even more than that of Louisiana, which is also a common problem in the southern United States in this era.

"This railway really can't work, I paid for it to be built!" Shaking off a handful of sweat with his hands, Sheffield looked prostration, if he had a choice, he really didn't want to live in the tropics, I don't know if it was an illusion, it seemed that since crossing the border, Sheffield obviously felt that the temperature here had risen a lot.

"Take a break!" Sheffield took off his cowboy hat that had been soaked, and the sweat that flowed had shaped his hair into a very avant-garde hairstyle, without the need for hair wax! A gust of wind chased after Sheffield, who took off his hat, had a cool illusion.

There is no doubt that Sheffield is a leader here, everyone immediately stopped looking for a big tree to rest in the shade, from the beginning of entering the territory of Mexico, it is obvious that there are fewer and fewer trees, on the contrary, there are more and more cacti, the symbol of Mexico, fortunately, the arid zone on this side of the Americas is not as desperate as his African and Asian counterparts, and it is not too difficult to find a water source, otherwise he is afraid of death and does not have the courage to challenge the limit of survival.

"Puebla is so close to Mexico City, it's still on the front line!" Sheffield leaned against the shade of the tree, which was better than nothing, and said weakly with two gasps.

Sheffield proved with his own facts and actions that human beings are a cowardice in front of nature, and they are not cowards themselves anyway, and the plantation supervisors from Redden down are now looking languishing. It's the thug of Taylor's Manor, I don't know if I've seen the relationship with the African scenery, so far he is in good spirits.

"Yes, Mr. Sheffield! As long as we take Mexico City, we will be able to get Mexico to recognize the new territory as ours! Redden wiped a handful of sweat, but was still very interested in talking about it.

Not that question! Redden is obviously not a master of sycophancy, Sheffield obviously means that it will be dangerous to be so close to the front line, he has never been touched by any manifest destiny, and he is also moved to go to the front line to die.

"No poisonous snakes were found, so it's safe!" A couple of Taylor Manor thugs checked it out and then rested. This sentence almost made Sheffield, who has little life experience, jump, this place has a poisonous snake not said earlier, in case he bites him, thanks to that?

"Gentlemen, if there's anything you need to pay attention to, can you remind us!" Sheffield said with some implicit dissatisfaction.

"Excuse me, Mr. Sheffield! It's our negligence, we usually pay attention to ourselves, forget that you often go deep into Africa, I'm sorry! The man from Taylor Manor said flatly.

"Forget it, at present, the major cities in northern Mexico have been occupied by us, but we still have to be careful of the group of resisters sneaking up on us, so we only take the main road this time, and be careful when you encounter non-Americans with weapons on the road, you can shoot first for your own safety!" Sheffield confirmed the principle this time, he is an ordinary person, he will die if he is shot, in this strange and dangerous environment, it is better not to be a son of the plane.

This time out of Sheffield was very well prepared, each with two horses, one of which was carrying dry food, water, medicine and ammunition, and each carrying a rifle on his back, even if he met the Indian tribe, there should be no problem. But it's best not to touch it, the Indian tribes that can survive until now are not soft persimmons, and Sheffield still has no bottom in his heart when he fights.

Ten days later, Sheffield, who looked much more mature, appeared in Puebla with thick bags under his eyes and a beard that was beginning to take shape, which was the resting place of the US Army, and the local environment for the wounded soldiers to recuperate was not good, and it can be seen that the US army in this era was not the army that was envied by the world in terms of logistics support in later generations. The side-by-side comparison is a little better than the plantations in Sheffield before the improved hygiene.

After applying, Sheffield entered this place that I don't know if it was a field hospital, and the gauze hung like a ribbon on the clothesline, and no one knew how many germs there were on it. Even if the new gauze is not trustworthy, at the current level of American industry, the word quality cannot be applied to it.

"You're the son of old Sheffield? Your father's situation is not very good! A military doctor called Sheffield aside and introduced, and the first sentence made his heart tremble, "Old Mr. Sheffield was not directly hit by the artillery, but the stones that exploded flew and broke the old man's legs!" You can't feel it when you see him, but in fact the leg bone is broken, and the possibility of trying to stand up is equal to no ......."

"Thank you for telling me the truth!" Sheffield breathed a sigh of relief, it was better to be in a wheelchair than to be shot directly, not everyone had this kind of luck, and begged, "I want to go in and see Daddy!" ”

"It's your freedom!" In this era, there is no nonsense about letting patients rest, and it is the freedom of the family to visit the patient, especially when I heard that Sheffield had come from more than a month on horseback, and the military doctor was also very impressed, and there was no reason to stop it.

Old Sheffield was resting on the simple bed, compared with the burly old man in his impression, the old man after the serious injury was much older, no matter how open-minded a person was, he couldn't turn a blind eye to such a serious injury, but it seemed that there was no problem with surviving, but no one knew if there were other effects after this injury.

Sheffield just stood face to face, without waking up the sleeping old man, when he suddenly heard the sound of an argument at the door behind him, turned around and walked out directly, opened the door and whispered, "Two gentlemen, please be quiet!" ”

"Who are you, I would like to inform Mr. Sheffield that Edmund Sheffield was wounded by the resistance on the front line!"

Sheffield's eyes immediately dilated a lot, and he said in a questioning tone, "You say it again, I don't know it very clearly!" ”

Sheffield, who heard the confirmed news, closed the door directly, covered his mouth with his hand and said, "I'm Edward Sheffield, and Edmund is my brother!" Lying inside is my father! In the eyes of the two people, Sheffield covered his mouth and held back his crying, but in fact, Sheffield didn't mean this at all, he was afraid that he would laugh out loud.
