The carriage bumped against a stone, and the violent tremor made Ika's memories disappear in a flash! He looked at the dust behind the carriage, followed the carriage closely, and looked out from the carriage, only the endless southern cotton fields and large and small plantations in front of him. I saw the blacks who toiled in the cotton fields, and the well-dressed manor owners who came to investigate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this moment, a carriage came speeding from the opposite side, and the open freight carriage in which Ika was sitting drove head-on! It was a horse-drawn carriage in which the owner of a white manor was riding, with bright glass windows and fresh black paint. That moment! The black coachman who was driving the carriage in the carriage looked at Ika intentionally or unintentionally! Just a few seconds.

"Daddy, take a break! I'll be calling you later, and we'll have to wait until noon. Hopefully the new owner will take care of our lunch. Barber Davids Jr. said.

"Thank you, thank you, little Davits." Ika said.

"Dad, I'm so glad to be able to walk with you, so let's still have a companion!"

"Alright! Don't be miserable! Do you think you're going to do it? Going to a white man's house for a guest or a long trip? You're going to work as a coolie for the white guys, silly! A black man said sarcastically.

Little Davids glared at the guy!

"That's for you! I'm a barber! The barber craft is the largest in the South! Look at it! By the time you and your children and grandchildren only know how to pick cotton for white men for a few lifetimes, I will be free! I'm going to live in Birmingham or the North! And send my kids to college! Get Educated! Little Davids said indignantly.

"Ah, yes! Become a high-level black slave! You can sell it for a lot of money, and you can even appreciate it after you buy it! Master! ”

"I hope your children and grandchildren can be worth more than you! What are you? Davitz giveaway!! Or a gift of friendship! Hehe! ”

"Do you know who your grandfather is? Brown-skinned guy! ”

Little Davids cried! The beautiful yearning for his life goal that he just talked about did not get the shock he wanted, but attracted more ridicule! Yes, at that moment he forgot that he was just like them! is a black slave who cannot control the fate of himself and his family.

"Bastard!!" Little Davids got up and pounced on the people who were laughing at him! He speaks for himself with his fists! There was a sudden upheaval in the carriage! Although little Davids is very angry, he must be invincible with two fists and four hands! In addition, the space in the carriage was too small, and it was quickly hit by those stout black men! The old Ika looked at all this in front of him and leaned on the bumpy carriage wrench, holding his luggage with one hand and shook his head helplessly.

The chaos in the carriage alarmed the people in front, and at this moment the carriage suddenly stopped! The few people who were still fighting in the car also stopped suddenly, and their eyes flashed with bewilderment and horror! The white overseer jumped from the passenger seat of the carriage! I saw him with a fierce look on his face, and walked quickly to the back of the car with a leather whip and a pistol on his waist, and he saw little Davids lying on the board of the carriage! There were still scars on his face, so he yelled and scolded the people in the car! Then he said:

"Who was making trouble just now!! Do you want to die!! Who beat him like this!! Dare to destroy the lord's property! Good! See if I don't whip him 30 lashes!! After saying that, he picked up the long whip in his hand with his right hand! Syllable!!! A crisp empty whip was snorted! Holding the handle of the pistol in his left hand, "Who?!" Stand out!! Who did this to you! Otherwise! I'll whip 30 lashes one by one! ”

"Sir, the road was too bumpy just now, and I was a little sick and wanted to stand up, so I accidentally knocked it. No one hit me, don't believe you ask Daddy Burner. ”

The overseer looked at little Davits, sneered and said, "Hmph, you're quite righteous!" But I'm telling you, don't think I'm a fool! None of you will be able to run away next time like this! After saying that, he went back and jumped into the carriage, and the carriage started again, and the group in the carriage was silent just now.

Little Davids leaned against Ika's side, holding his hairdressbox in his arms and silently sobbing and crying, but he didn't cry.

"If you want to cry, cry, kid. There's no shame in that, no one will laugh at you. Otherwise, you'll be even more uncomfortable. Ika said and patted little Davids on the shoulder. Little Davids threw himself into Ika's arms and cried! Ika soothed little Davids, his big dry and rough hands, slid through little David's fine and clean curls and dark brown smooth skin, Ika seemed to see his own son and Jenny again, and saw them being bullied by others and crying silently alone.

"Isn't anyone trying to say something? It's okay to be sarcastic! Weren't you all excited just now!? Your fear of the white man's whip is far greater than the mockery and sympathy for your own brothers! ”

None of them replied to Ika's questioning words. Although Ika's body is not strong after aging, he has a different temperament, which is the temperament of a king and an elder. These people are all afraid of this old black man from Africa! It's probably something they've never had in their lives.

One of them said first: "I'm sorry brother, I shouldn't have said that about you." ”

"Me too!"

"I'm sorry Davits, I didn't think you cared that much."

Little Davids ignored them, but continued to cry, and for a long time the car was very quiet, except for the sound of the car's cargo colliding as it was driven over the bumpy road, and the sound of Davids Jr. sobbing. Ika hugged little Davids and closed his eyes, and the stage of memory was once again playing the repertoire of memories.

"Which of you has seen my son Steven!!" Ika said anxiously.

"No, I didn't see it." Said the coachman who was feeding the horses.

Ika is looking for his children in every corner of the manor! More than an hour ago, he heard from the cook that there was not much work today, and the little guy didn't have much work to do, so he asked him to leave early and go back to his house to find Ika, who didn't see him all morning! I didn't see him at lunch, and thought he was having lunch with her mother and some of the cooks, and sometimes they would give the little one some leftover pastries and jerky from the white guys, and they all liked little Steven, but Jenny said she didn't see the little one when she came back to deliver it. Now Ika and Jenny are in a hurry! They searched the manor for shouts! The firewood house, the garden, and the stables have been searched, these are the places where the little ones often go, and Ika also asked a few friends with Steven, but there is still no trace of the child! He went to the fields with the last hope of hope, and he begged God to keep his children from running out of the manor, or the white men would arrest him! They didn't care if he was a child or not, they ran out intentionally or unintentionally! They'll give those vicious dogs a sniff of little Steven's clothes, and then let them go after him! Even if it's for fun. Think about everything you've been through! The bloody mouth of that vicious bloodhound!

"Oh my God! He's still a kid! ”

Ika didn't dare to think about it! He could only speed up his search in the field! The vast cotton fields have been harvested, and the other blacks have gone to rest, and it is clear that the fields are empty, and it is not easy to hide a person.

Just as Ika was about to shout the child's name, he saw a man sitting on the fence of the manor in the distance! It looks like a child barefoot, yes! It's his own son, Steven!! He sat on the fence with his back to him, his feet swaying, and nodding his head from time to time, looking happy.

Ika was really happy and anxious to see this, it was the boundary of the manor! I told him about the dangers of walking through the fence without permission. Then Ika saw a man sitting on a tree stump not far from the other side of Little Steven! He's a black man like himself, and he's a big guy with a bare head, but he can't see what he looks like! What are he and little Steven talking about?! It's too dangerous! Maybe he's going to kidnap the little guy! Or it can be a bad idea for children! Thinking of this, he sped up and called the child's name! He forgot that he had a leg injury and almost ran! He didn't think about it until he fell!

Hearing his father's shout, Steven turned around! The body did not grasp the flat horizontal at this time and fell off the stake! Steven got up and quickly got up and turned to go back, when the big black guy stood up and staggered towards little Steven, who was climbing the wooden railing! Not good! What Ika was afraid of was about to happen, and he reached for his son's waist with both hands and lifted him up! Little Steven also took advantage of the situation to climb the fence, and as soon as he turned over, he returned to the fence of Liberty Village.

"Thank you, Uncle Jack! Can you tell me a story in a moment! That's my dad, and he's from what you call 'Africa'. ”

"What? Is it! Is there such a coincidence? ”

"Of course! It's true! Little Steven said very seriously, for fear that this black man named Jack would not believe it.

"All right, kid. Go find your dad! Thank you for the apples, they were delicious. Good bye. ”

"Wait, will you come again tomorrow!" Little Steven said to Jack as he leaned on the edge of the fence.

"No, I just happened to pass by here and happened to see you, little one."

At this time, Ikayi walked up to his son, and the scene just now really frightened himself! He couldn't survive the loss of a loved one. Seeing that the other party had no malicious intent, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled his son Steven.

"Why did you run so far!! I'm dying when I'm looking for you!! You know how anxious your mom is!! Ika said angrily.

"Dad, I was wrong. I, I won't dare to do it in the future. Little Steven, with a weeping voice, looked at Ika.

"Hey! Why do you treat the child like this, he just walks around, do you want to care about him for the rest of his life? Man. Jack said in an educational tone to the angry Ika through the fence.

"What if you meet a bad person! Good thing you're not. Ika replied, and at the same time he felt that the man in front of him was a little familiar, the voice and the shape, but he was not sure that he had seen it there, his clothes were very tattered, especially half of his face was almost disfigured! It looks a little hideous, but his left leg is actually a wooden stick!

"Ha, forget it, man! Give your son some freedom! Those white bastards who turned us into slaves, do you still want your children to be slaves of slaves? As he spoke, he turned around and took the torn hat from the ground and put it on his head, barely covering half of his face.

"That's a good thing you say! You must not have children! ”

"Nope! I have, and I'm a son, just like you. But I can't see him anymore. ”

"I'm sorry." Ika said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's not your fault." He turned to leave, and said:

"Don't keep taking care of children like that, or he won't be a real man." After saying that, he turned to leave.

Ika was shocked! He began to stare at the face, which was disfigured! But, yourself will never forget the face!

"Stop!!" Ika said.

"Dad, Uncle Jack is from Africa like you. I gave him an apple, and he told me a lot of stories, but why didn't you ever tell me a story? ”

"Steven's back to your mother!"

"Daddy."

"Go back!! Do you hear me!! A loud yell from Ika frightened little Stevens and ran!

"You've gone too far,! That's your own child. Jack said, putting an empty burden on his back and leaving.

"I'll let you stop! Zat. Ika's fists clenched, and at some point he climbed over the man-high fence and came to Zat.

Jack in front of him is completely stupid! It's as if I've seen the devil I said!! Look at the eyes and show anger! The clatter of both fists! With his muscles shaking, Ika, took a few steps back in horror, and then fell to the ground! "Nope! No!! Jack panicked as Ika's approach approached!

"Why are you afraid! Aren't you a man!? Isn't it a warrior! ”

The phrase Ika's phrase was in Krataya, not English. It was the language I used to live in Africa, and I was called 'Zat' at that time.

While the people of the Free Village Garden were about to hurry up and take advantage of the lunch time to rest, even the overseers were sleeping with wine bottles, and the cotton was finished harvesting, and they were waiting for the dividends of the boss, and the blacks went back to sleep in their houses, and now they could rest more.

At this time, Ika dragged Zat, who was beaten by himself, to the cemetery where his father was buried! It's like dragging a beast that has just been slain and is still breathing. This bastard! Traitor! Murderer! Vipers in the forest! Whether it's English or Klataya, Ika's mind can't find the words that can be put into practice! Bang!! Bang! Zat's body fell heavily to the ground!! The pain twisted him, and Zat, whose face was covered in blood, opened his eyes, which were blurred by his own blood, and with only one eye he could use, he saw a group of scattered tombstones, and some crosses like dry bones standing there lifelessly.

"See!! This! Lie down here for everyone! It's all because of you! You black-hearted bastard!! After saying that, Ika kicked Zat's body, and Zat covered his ribs and his body was spasming! His ribs were broken, and there was more than one!

"Look! I called you to see!! This! This is my father!! That is, your uncle!! Look he's dead! Just a few years ago!! It's because of your father and the sinful frame of white people!! Do you know how much pain he suffered before he died!? Bastard!! This is Mihan! He was exhausted to death!! This is Bangya!! He was shot and killed by a white man while he was running away!! This is Horion! He was burned to death!! It's ......" Ika's fingers almost poked into Zat's flesh! He wants to swallow all the suffering and pain he has suffered on this land for decades!! At this time, Zatt had already collapsed! The physical pain and the remorse of the soul made him feel like he had fallen into a thorn bush and was worse off than dead, and he kept waving his arms as if to block something that was coming at him.

Ika walked almost every grave, and by this time he also felt tired, and more of the scars on his heart had been torn open. Ika tossed Zatt aside! Zatt gasped! Ika himself sat on the sidelines and watched this ugly and despicable brute! His chest was heaving, wondering if he should give him the final blow, or go back and get a knife to slit his roar's throat! But he also wanted to say a few words to him.

"What's wrong! My Zat chieftain! Where's your retinue! What about your white friends! You seem to be unaccustomed to this land! How the body is rotten! ”

Zat turned over slowly in pain, he didn't dare to look at Ika, he tilted his head and said breathlessly:

"Dead, they're all dead on the sea that came here, I, I'm a sinner! Those bastards betrayed me! He, they, are just using me. I was scammed! I want to kill them! Kill them! ”

"Humph! Kill them! No way! Have you ever been bitten by a dog in their herding ?! You've been whipped by them!? Wait a minute! You're still married!! Ha! A brute like you can have children! ”

Zat smiled bitterly, blood pouring from the corner of his mouth. "Not long after I arrived, they asked me to be a so-called, so-called supervisor in a white house, and I was actually a white overseer's doglegs, because, I could speak that damn English, and by chance I was chosen to be a coachman, and yes, I was doing a very, very good time when I first arrived. Although they also called me a slave, the white master of the house was pretty good to me. I even got married, thinking that I was going to get away with it. "Ika hears this and stands up and prepares to put an end to him, this criminal traitor!

"However, a year ago I went to drive the wife and children of the white master to a friend's house, and his youngest daughter Linda fell asleep because she was too tired from a long, long tap dance, so I took her out of the carriage, but I didn't think that the white people said I want to ** her, they whipped me, and burned my face with an iron, and my eyes were blind. One guy also wounded me in the leg with a gun, and when I was brought back by the bastard, they said they believed I didn't do anything to his daughter, but I thought I was a wreck, obviously I thought it was useless, my wife and son were sold, I watched them taken away, I could only, I could only watch it all in pain, listening to the begging cries of my wife and children! The white master said I had a choice, either crawl out of here alone and leave it to my fate, or, or. Zat began to cry! He could barely speak.

"Or, or what?! Say! ”

When Ika heard Zat crying and saying what the white man wanted, he couldn't believe it! But I can't help but believe it! He's furious! He really wanted to kill a white man! They made Zatt a slave! Mating like an animal!! Zat, who is a descendant of a warrior like himself, should be insulted in this way!

"You! Did you say yes!? Say it!! ”

"Ha, if I had agreed, would I still be like this? I climbed out of his farm! I don't die there! Big brother, in fact, I don't have a woman, I wanted to be angry with you that day. I love her and my son, and I hurt them! ”

"And then!" Ika said coldly.

"I climbed into the forest and was almost eaten by a black bear, but it was the Indians who saved me, they cut off my broken leg and dug up the rotten flesh from my face."

"O God! Here's why! Hearing this, Ikadu was a little overwhelmed.

"This is my fate, I deserve it! I deserve it. Later, when I was well they gave me a suit of clothes and told me to leave, because a man with one eye and one leg would bring bad luck to the tribe. So I was gone, I was homeless, the white people were not interested in me as a cripple, they might beat me a few times, but they wouldn't want me, I wasn't even enough to be a slave. Ika, no! Brother Ika, kill me! I want to go home! Get back!! Get back!! Cough! ”

Looking at the wounded Zatei, Ka's anger was much less, but he still looked at him with disdain, and then Ika stood up.

"You can't go home, and I can't go back! Your offspring will be stripped of their skin color by God! ”

"Nope! No! I want my skin! Zatt said.

Ika did not stop, "You know God's punishment for not being quick to rebel against your people. And insulted the holy relics of God! Your descendants, they will live in confusion between heaven and earth and in their own souls, understand! Get lost! Get out of here! Get out of my land!! ”

"What?"

"Otherwise, I'll have the Overseer whip you up!" Unless you or someone from your descendants can return the Wrist! Please forgive God for your sins!! With that, Iku turned and left!

Looking at Ika's figure, Zat smiled bitterly again, he laughed so uncomfortably!

"Brother Ika, your land? Your estate? Your overseer? Oh, yes! I'm not even a slave. Zatt muttered to himself, dragging his scarred, mutilated body away from the cemetery.

For the whole afternoon, Ika kept his face downcast, and did not say a word to his wife, Jenny, and son, and did not eat.

Looking at Ika's appearance, the mother and son had never been so afraid of their husbands and fathers. Jenny wanted to comfort her husband and say a few words, but Ika just said coldly:

"Leave me alone for a while!"

He closed his eyes and the past was vivid, he and Zatt were friends when they were young, they played together, they swam together, once they went to pick coconuts, Zatt accidentally fell from a tree and broke his ribs, it was his father who carried him back to his home, and helped him take care of his injuries on the bed, he couldn't forget when his father's hand was Zat's wound, Zat cried bitterly and was crying himself. I heard from my father that there was a village on the coast where some black-haired and white-skinned people lived, yes! I heard Jenny say that those people were called 'Chongguo people', and this technique was learned from an old man, and I heard that his grandfather and grandfather could connect every bone of a person. How nice and lovely Zatt was at that time.

Why do people change when they grow up, and why?

Ikhajue's self should have been going to see Zat, and this time he wasn't going to hit him. Instead, wrap a few pieces of bread. He walked quickly to the cemetery again, as he thought, Zatyi was gone, but it must not be very far, his injuries were so bad, he would not go far, but Ika was wrong, Zat was gone. There was only one crawling trail reaching into the distance. Ika traced the trail and found it past the manor's fence and into the forest beyond. The bread in Ika's hand slipped off, and he regretted it.

At night, Ika couldn't sleep all night, and he pushed his wife Jenny next to him, who didn't actually sleep with Ben, who knew her husband too well.

"Jenny, didn't you resist?" Ika whispered.

Jenny was scared and drowsy!

"Oh my God! Be quiet! My God! If the white people heard you, and I would be burned alive or hanged! Jenny was quiet, and then nervously looked outside the room to see that there was indeed no one else around, and the child Stevens was also asleep. Then he whispered:

"I've heard that more than 20 years ago, probably in 1728, some blacks did do do what you think, they burned farms, they killed white masters, they went all the way and killed white people, just like white people do to them."

"And then!" Ika said with some excitement.

"Later? They didn't know what they were going to do next, but the white men came and killed them all, and some of them fled into the forest and starved to death. Jenny paused: "Are you satisfied this time?" Go to sleep! My warrior. ”

A few days later, Ika saw some white sheriffs coming outside, and told the owner of the Liberty Village that a black man had been hanged by the roadside in the forest, and that he had committed suicide, and that he could find out if a few people had buried him, so as not to frighten anyone.

The lord of the manor agreed, and Ika felt that it might be Zat! So he volunteered to go too.

Really! When they came to the side of the forest road, they saw Zat hanging from a large tree, his head bowed and his scarred body bare, and he dangled there with his stiff body dangling! The sturdy physique, black skin, is even more miserable under the sun.

It turned out that he had torn his clothes into a noose, put them around his neck, and died with remorse for his crimes.

Ika walked over, put Zatt down, took his mutilated body in his arms, as if he were holding his own child, and brought him back to the black cemetery of the manor, wrapped him in a white cloth, and buried him beside his father.

As he was leaving, Ika also saw that the imprint of the Zatt family was deep in the stone not far away, and it had been smeared with blood and two African Krataya characters for 'go home'.

From then on, Ika often told his children about the ancestors and stories of the African family, and also gave the children a caption of their own family in Africa, and informed them of their family's identity and status.

After the Civil War in 1865, a black sergeant of the Confederate Army passed by and walked to the war-torn Free Village Park, where he had heard his grandfather, who had fled north, say that his African ancestors were buried here.

131 years later, Lieutenant Cody Sundson of the U.S. Army wore his family's ancestral African chest swasher on his chest and led a U.S. special forces unit to the land of war and killing. In the homeland of his ancestors, his troops suffered heavy losses! Lieutenant Cody was later promoted, but decided to leave the unit.

Decades later, on this day, a Buick sedan family car drove here, and a special family came down, the father was an Asian man in his 50s, and his son was an African-American, and they were all amazed by the scenery of the fields in the southern part of the United States. 》
