"Kenyala, why are you helping us?"

Danielle Ferent took the water bladder handed by a black man, drank it with difficulty, his throat was still smoking, his voice was hoarse, and the two white men in tattered clothes next to him took turns to take the water bladder and poured it into his mouth indiscriminately, and it was difficult to find water that could be safely entered in this ghost place.

The man who was called Kenyala was a thin black man who looked to be in his forties, with little flesh on his body, and was not tall, but his eyes were bright. He hesitated for a moment, as if he was organizing the language, but he was still peeling the unknown fruit neatly in his hand.

"I, I was only a teenager when I was sold to the estate, and I had a hard time at first, old Mr. Howlett he... No, I'm not saying he's bad! Kenyala said and became anxious, and hurriedly explained to a few people.

Danielle waved his hand, his eyes gently comforting him. Kenyala slowly relaxed, and continued to stumble, not so neatly.

"Little Mr. Howlett is a good man, just a little girl, he is very good to us, very good kind, after he becomes the master, everyone's life is like a dream..."Kenyala's vocabulary is very limited, and there are basically only two adjectives: "good" and "bad".

“…… He asked me if I would like to help him and help him accompany you here, and he said that when I go back, he will give me a large piece of land, and I can cultivate freely, grow whatever I want, and plant whatever I want, and plant all the crops myself! And... And he told me that at that time, all people like me would be able to be human beings..."

After speaking, Kenyala raised her head, smiled shyly, bared her white teeth, and finally said, "I believe him." ”

Danielle let out a long sigh and took the fruit handed by Kenyala, and Ku ate Ku and ate two bites, the fruit was very sweet and the juice was cool.

He relieved himself and continued, "But they're... It's your compatriot, and this is your hometown, why do you want to go back to the manor, or even risk your life to escape with us? ”

"They are not my compatriots." Kenyala herself ate the fruit and said sullenly with her head down.

"They only should... We're thieves, whether we look the same or not, or even worse like me...... This is my hometown, I'm a Jikuyu, but... It's so hard to live here... It's so hard..."

Kenyala didn't seem to want to speak anymore, and ate the fruit silently, and Daniel, who was on the side, didn't ask any more questions, and said to the two white men on the side: "It's another day's walk to Mombasa, where there is a British resource port, we can contact the manor and find a way to go back!" ”

"Alas...... It's a pity that just a few of us escaped, Blake, Jason, and they're all..."

The younger one couldn't help crying, they never expected this exploration mission to turn out like this, plus more than 20 local guides and packers, and finally escaped four... There are still such mysterious and terrifying tribes in the world.

"It's my fault, if we hadn't gone as deep then...... Don't cry David, it's the best thing to be able to escape, as long as we go back, James may still have a way to save them. Danielle patted David on the shoulder, revealing the strange symbol on his arm, which looked like some kind of text brand for a long time.

"I don't know what James is doing at this time...... Danielle muttered in his heart, reaching out to touch a black flat ornament in his arms, slowly rubbing it, he actually knows that with such a terrible place guarded by "people", how could James save them?

……………………

"Ahh

Maybe choked on soot, James couldn't help but sneeze, he rubbed his nose, stood by the boiler with a shovel, the linen white shirt on his body was black, and his beard had grown a lot, more like a cowboy man than before.

"This is not the place for you, Miss Jamie." Victor was naked, shiny with sweat dripping down his sweat, and the fire from the steam boiler shone red on his granite muscles.

While talking about his favorite joke about James, he kept adding coal to the boiler with a shovel like a small wooden stick in his hand.

James was not annoyed, and calmly shot back: "If you can use your brain and ponder what I teach you, you won't be like a chicken in water." ”

Compared to Victor's sweat from the boiler, James didn't see a drop of sweat, except for a little soot on his clothes, the whole person was still very refreshing.

After cultivating to the point of transformation, James's control of the body has reached a higher level, the opening and closing of his pores is as free as instinct, the regulation of body temperature, and the peristalsis of internal organs have become the ability to control himself.

Victor paused and said disdainfully: "Hmph! Who rarely practices those strange things. ”

James took out the delicate copper humidor in his pocket, lit it against the fire, smoked it for a moment, and said tentatively: "If you practice, you may be able to beat me." ”

Victor stopped abruptly, did not speak again, and after a while continued to add coal to the boiler.

For the sake of convenience, the steam train escorted by James and Victor did not even bring the conductor and workers, in case Adam attacked and caused harm to these ordinary people, as for the basic operation of the steam train, there was no difficulty, that is, it was necessary to work hard to add coal to the boiler by yourself.

Half of the journey has passed, the sky is getting dark, at the current speed, at dawn can reach the cargo station near Gettysburg, tonight can finally meet the so-called blood ancestors, James and Victor, are very excited.

Night fell, a few miles ahead.

Adam and Wadom stood aside, watching a few of the Bloods pry the rails with iron rods, and the others lifted boulders and stacked them in the middle of the road, Wadom waved his hand to disperse the dust in the air, and asked a little endlessly, "Do you have to wait?" ”

"Do you really think you can stop it with this little stone?" Adam looked serious, and Vadom couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen him serious.

"My naïve sister, I can't run away when it's time to face it. Are you worried that I will lose? ”

Vadom lowered his eyebrows and said tremblingly: "He and his brother have killed too many of our compatriots, there has never been such a human being, there has never been a ......"

"It's your countryman." Adam gently stroked the hair from Wadoma's ear, stroked her narrow cheek, and said softly, "Is it because it's been too long and forgot?" I forgot that you were all just my creatures. ”

Whining! Woo!

The shrill whistle of the steam train came from not far away, the rhythmic sound of the rails crashing was getting closer and closer, and the high beams in front of the train shone on Adam's bewitching pale face, and he licked the corners of his mouth and smiled happily.
