Chapter 44: Killing? Don't kill? We are the teachers of justice!
Seriously, Eleanor was quite unlucky, she came from Washington, and she was very happy, because she could see her long-missed father, which was a great honor, because among the many brothers and sisters, not everyone could come, only she came with her eldest brother, and the two of them came to see her father instead of her mother, who had severe arthritis.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Texas, he heard that he would not be able to see his father, because he was going to the front line to command the battle.
May God bless my father with a long and healthy life!
However, she soon discovers that she does not seem to be that far away from her father.
Originally, she was going to El Paso, the westernmost city in Texas, and the front line of resistance against the Indians and Mexicans, which was the border, but she had to go south and a long way to El Paso, and her father was going to Clayton this time, and he was going north.
If you continue south, don't you just miss your father? Why do you have to go south? Didn't we come to see Father?
Eleanor talked to her eldest brother about this problem, but was severely criticized, the eldest brother is like this, always so rigorous, he learned everything from his father, so it is impossible for him to destroy the original plan.
But Eleanor is not a peaceful lord, the miss of her father really makes her heart burn, and this is a war, although her father is a hero in every battle, a hero in the war with the Mexicans, and the principal of West Point, but Eleanor is still a little worried.
Eleanor firmly believes that even if there are so many children in the family, if there is any danger to herself, then the father will definitely be worried, this is the nature of father and daughter, and the father's favorite child in the family is her!
With such a natural instinct, Eleanor felt that going to El Paso and waiting for her father to return would drive her crazy, and what if something really happened to her father?
God will not forgive Himself!
So Eleanor changed her clothes very skillfully and pretended to be a little boy...... From the perspective of the stilt family, Eleanor is a repeat offender, and she has enough experience, so she even secretly hid a set of boys' clothes in her luggage, anyway, the brothers used to wear the leftovers, and the younger brothers are still young.
But Eleanor was really unlucky, she managed to catch a caravan in the direction of Clayton, but unexpectedly, the caravan was transporting slaves!
Slave traders, they also work part-time to sell laborers, anyway, they are all selling people, is it easy, then since they are trading people, they naturally study the 'commodity' very thoroughly, so as soon as Eleanor appeared, they saw that this was a girl.
God, a little girl has appeared in our car, and this is nothing short of a treasure you have given us!
Many people don't know that in the slave market in New Orleans, the price of female slaves is actually higher than that of strong male slaves, because American law stipulates that the children of female slaves are still slaves, so that is to say, slave owners can make money while enjoying themselves, so can their value be low? …… Okay, the little girl in front of me is not a black person, but how short of women are there in the West now? And she's so cute?
When Eleanor found that the caravan seemed to be going in the wrong direction, you must know that a person from a military family, even a girl will have some military common sense, and discerning the direction is a necessary skill for fighting a war in this era, this caravan came from Texas, and now it has been going west, so Eleanor immediately understood that it might be difficult for her to get off.
The idea of the slave trader was very simple, that is, to get this little girl to California, and there would definitely be many old men near San Francisco who would be willing to pay a high price.
However, Eleanor is a clever little ghost, and she is always mischievous, which makes her more adept at things like setting the caravan on fire by accident.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Eleanor escaped from the caravan, but after running a long way, she found that the situation was not very good, it was a grassland with no eye in sight!
In March 1856, the spring breeze took away the snow from the central plains of the United States, but the land was still a little muddy, but fortunately the temperature had risen, otherwise a little girl would have survived in such an environment.
But fortunately, Eleanor was not particularly unlucky, she had been wandering in the grassland for less than 24 hours, and she saw a team, and this team looked from afar, it should be the US army, and it was the US army that had returned triumphantly!
It's about to fulfill her wishes, and Eleanor is here to find the U.S. military, isn't she?
When Eleanor got closer, she soon noticed the strange expenses of the team, the prisoners seemed to have a good relationship with the soldiers, and the ropes that tied the people seemed to be fake, right?
Eleanor, who had suffered a loss, was very vigilant, she wanted to run, but she didn't succeed, and a man who looked like a Chinese worker caught her!
"Damn it! Let me go! ”
During the struggle, Eleanor's hat fell off, revealing her chestnut hair.
"Female!?"
“SHIT! Bad luck! ”
"What, how, what?"
"We are exposed! Isn't this march a secret ?! ”
Eleanor encountered the international column disguised as a triumphant U.S. military led by Li Mengyang, and the appearance of this little girl made the team explode at once!
Before leaving, Li Mengyang stressed many times that this march must be extremely secretive, and we must let anyone think that we are an American army that has won the battle. And just before catching this girl, what kind of state everyone was, everyone knew in their hearts, it was too fake......
"Dream sheep! What to do? "Mai Lili is the 'Chinese worker' who just captured Eleanor, and his worship of Li Mengyang is now comparable to that of a god and Buddha, and he must take such an idea.
"Brother Li, don't ...... at this time" Yang Guangren is now disguised as a Chinese worker, oh, well, he doesn't need to disguise, but when he wants to say the word 'woman's benevolence', he is very wise to shut up,
Kill!
It should be done, but Matthew didn't speak, he just looked at Li Mengyang's expression, because that guy seemed to be a little absent-minded, but some people couldn't hold it back.
"Clint! Let, sleepy man, kill! ”
The sleepy man's heart was full of anger, knowing that the white man had killed his wife and children before, and now he had become a prisoner, it was really a bad breath.
Chestnut, the word is very interesting, chestnut, in fact, is chestnut, so where did this 'chestnut' come from? Chest is a chest, nut is a nut, a nut like a chest, don't you say, it's really like oh, especially for people with chest muscles, it is a deep experience, however, this word can also be used as a color, and even as a surname, very simply, the color of the hair of the person with the surname ......
Li Mengyang was in a trance at this time, of course, it was definitely not because he saw a girl and his heart was moved. The reason why he was in a trance was because the question of whether to kill or not to kill was too simple for him.
"We can't kill her!"
This is Li Mengyang's answer, in fact, it has been decided a long time ago, but he is just waiting for other people's expressions.
“WHY?”
"Brother Li, think twice!"
"Clint!"
Almost all of them expressed shock and doubt, didn't they say that they would keep it a secret? Then if you don't kill this girl now, won't she talk nonsense? Besides, the Indians still have a blood feud.
"I understand your thoughts, if you say, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, then you should really kill this girl......" Li Mengyang said this, and his eyes met with the little girl.
"......" Eleanor's heart was extremely shaken at this time, because she didn't expect that this strange team would be the one this little boy said!
At this moment, Li Mengyang really didn't know that his age was despised by others, the key is that the person who despises shì doesn't seem to be very old, right?
Li Mengyang continued: "And from the perspective of strictly guarding secrets, it is also ...... Well, I'll be honest, the reason why I can't kill her is because she's a woman! ”
"...... is the reason for this too far-fetched? Everyone was speechless.
However, Li Mengyang's next words are very interesting and reasonable.
"Why are we here? Why are we going to attack our opponent's city? Is it because we're going to kill someone? Is it because we want to invade? Is it because we were born bastards, villains?! No! I'm actually resisting! It's against those who bullied us, it's against those bastards who have committed heinous crimes against us! How did those bastards do it? They slaughtered women, children, and old people! This is their sin, an unforgivable sin! Now, are we going to be like them? ”
These words are so powerful that they make the Irish and the sleepy man ashamed of themselves!
That's right, it's because of this, this is 'the teacher is famous', this is the righteousness we are carrying, which means that we represent justice!
"Gentlemen!" Li Mengyang hasn't finished talking yet, "But this is not the mercy of a fool, if this woman in front of you can pick up a gun and is ready to shoot at us, then of course we have to kill her, without mercy!" But now, we can't do that, we can't turn ourselves into our enemies, we can't turn into those personal scum! ”
"Yes!"
"Well said!"
"We're not scum!"
The Irish, including those who could understand English, basically agreed with Li Mengyang's view, and then Li Mengyang spoke it again in Chinese, and his words also won the approval of the Chinese workers.
"So, what should we do with this little guy?"
Hey, that's a good question, since you can't kill her, what should you do with her?
"Let's take her with us for now." Like, now there is only one way, it's too dangerous to let this girl go, and it may leak secrets.
"......" Eleanor wondered why the little guy didn't kill himself, or ...... That little guy has a heart for himself?
I have to say that in that regard, Western girls are indeed more open, so it is easier to make associations, but ......
In fact, the reason why Li Mengyang didn't kill this girl was because he had more important considerations......
