As they drove out of the city, they were greeted by a residential area — apparently wealthy, with stately and imposing Georgian red-brick houses, all fronted by square hedges, with small white columns and green shutters.

In the corridors and gardens, young ladies and ladies greeted their carriage. As they passed a disheveled house with green wainscoting, a little black girl standing on the front steps shouted into the house, "She's coming!" ”

A tall man and a chubby middle-aged woman, and a half-grown teenager walked out of the house.

"My dear! You've finally arrived. Without waiting for Xue Yuan to help Hao Sijia get out of the carriage, the chubby middle-aged woman hurriedly greeted her. She walked to the carriage despite the mud and hugged Scarlett in her arms, "Honey, you don't know how worried I am about you!" ”

"Okay, dear, why don't you let Scarlett sit in the room?" The tall man said, he was tall, skinny, with a pointed iron-gray beard, and his clothes were worn on that slender body as if they had been blown by a strong wind, and there was some arrogance in his words, and he didn't even look at Xue Yuan, as if he didn't exist at all, "I think Peaty can't wait to meet Scarlett." ”

However, the half-grown boy in his teens was very curious about Xue Yuan, and he dared to poke Xue Yuan Xue Yuan's arm, "Are you an indigenous?" How did you become Scarlett's sister's housekeeper? Would you use a knife to peel off a person's scalp? ”

"These damn Southern racists." Xue Yuan was speechless at this stubborn red neck, he finally understood a little bit why in his world, those friends who advocated "Black Lives Matter" always looked bitter and hateful, it turned out that the root cause was here! The way these colonizers treat other races is disgusting. Looking at this tall man's attitude towards Xue Yuan, it was like looking at an uncivilized monkey.

"I'm not going to scalp anyone." Xue Yuan said in a flat tone, his patience with the bear child was already "tested", and he wouldn't care about such a half-sized child.

"Oh my God! You actually speak the lingua franca. The half-grown son hid behind his father in fear, "Are you an indigenous shaman?" My mother told me that shamans can snatch the souls of others through evil rituals and gain knowledge from them. I don't know anything, don't take my soul! ”

The tall man dissatisfiedly dragged out the half-grown boy who was hiding behind him, and patted him on the head in dissatisfaction, "Fair, you are already 13 years old, how can you still believe your mother's bedtime fairy tale?" You're a man! If the indigenous shamans were really that powerful, do you think we would still be able to occupy the continent? ”

"What are you doing to your son?" The chubby middle-aged woman angrily protected Little Phil behind her, "He's only 13 years old!" What about believing in bedtime fairy tales? If you really treat him like a man, then why pat him on the head? ”

"You shouldn't spoil little Phil like this, he'll become a sissy!"

"You try it again?" The chubby middle-aged woman did not show weakness, "I want to see who is more sissy!" ”

"You-"

"Alright, alright." Scarlett advised, "Mr. Mead, Mrs. Meade, you all don't say a word. This is my butler, Ronald, who has a different origin, and is not native to the New World. We'll get to that in a moment - take us to meet Peaty first, I've heard she's been crazy lately. ”

Uncle Peter cleared his throat. "Miss Pitty was angry when I went out, and if I hadn't brought the eldest lady of the O'Hara family home sooner, she would have fainted."

The old black man seemed to have a real prestige, and as soon as he spoke, the Meades stopped arguing.

"Alright, old Peter, you're right, take Scarlett to see Peaty first." Mrs. Meade said loudly.

Peter, the old black man, took Hao Scarlett and Xue Yuan to the house, and after passing through the front room, there was actually a small alley behind it, and there was actually a hole in it - obviously this was a large community of houses, and the area was beyond Xue Yuan's imagination.

"Those northerners are simply unreliable, and people choose to live together for safety. Now there are no male soldiers in the family, and I can't handle so many northern soldiers on my own. So Miss Pitty invited Dr. Meade to move in with his wife and children, so that he could be taken care of. The old black man said.

They had walked several hundred meters down the alley until they finally came across a house of red brick and stone tiles. In front of the house is a clean wood-paneled fence that is painted white. The small courtyard is full of yellow daffodils. On the steps in front of the door stood two black women dressed in black, and behind them was a fat yellow-skinned woman, her hands wrapped under her apron, looking at Xue Yuan, a mouthful of snow-white teeth grinning and showing out.

One of the black women came up to her, "Steward Peter, you have finally returned, and Miss Pitty is so angry that even her favorite porcelain has been dropped, and you must hurry up and persuade her!" ”

"These damn Northerners! Where can I find you a wolf the size of a Sharma! A roar came from inside the house, and the two black women trembled with fright.
