the next day.

Dugago, Wausau County.

Naya Faso Village.

The pronunciation of “Naya Faso” means “the hometown of honorable men” in the ancient North African language.

Perhaps, it was because of someone in history that he left such a legacy to this land, but this is another legendary story.

This winter.

It came earlier than in previous years, and it was also colder.

It’s only mid-December, and the temperature has already dropped to minus 4 or 5 degrees Celsius. In previous winters, the lowest was only 0 degrees Celsius, and the lake didn’t even freeze.

And now.

The white snow has covered the earth with a thick quilt!

Under an old crooked neck tree.

Several men with dark skin and stooped bodies, all wearing thin, dirty, shabby coats, were trembling and huddled next to the fire.

at the same time,

They were still rubbing their feet with their hands and breathing in and out to resist the cold and maintain the pitiful body temperature.

“I heard a person passing by our village say that whatever factories are being built in the city are recruiting workers everywhere. Not only do they pay high wages, but they are also willing to hire hard-working people like us.”

“Factory? What is that? Is it also farming?”

“Are you confused by the cold? How could there be a place that dares to recruit people like us! We have already sold our lives to the landlord.”

“I’m not lying to you. Didn’t you notice that Hei Wa is missing? I heard that he sneaked into the city. Now he has enough food and clothing every day. He is so much better than us!”

“I want to run too, but what if I get caught by my master?”

“That’s right, did you forget to grow ears? He was beaten so badly that not a single piece of flesh on his body was good, and in the end he was beaten to death!”

These men discussed in as low a voice as possible.

The sound was really low, not even as loud as the sound of fire burning dry branches.

Just when they were chatting enthusiastically.

A fat man who was wrapped in clothes from head to toe and was a little fat suddenly appeared behind several people.

He looked ferocious and shouted loudly:

“Who gave you permission to use wood for fire?”

These men were all shocked, and one of them quickly explained:

“Master, these are some fallen dead branches we picked up by the woods. We didn’t cut down your trees, and we didn’t dare to steal your firewood.”

Hearing this explanation, the fat man became even more angry.

“Snapped–”

He waved the whip in his hand, hit the men hard, and shouted angrily:

“Even if it falls to the ground, it’s still my property! Who allows you slaves like you to use my property arbitrarily without permission? This is all my money, mine!”

“Snapped–”

“Snapped–”

This was followed by several more heavy blows of the whip.

Several men did not dare to dodge or scream. Even if they were beaten to pieces, they could only grit their teeth tightly.

Red blood gushed out from their wounds.

The blood dropped to the ground and melted a few snowflakes, but the next second, it was frozen again by the cold winter.

Maybe it was because they were bored, or maybe the anger in his heart had subsided, or maybe the fat man was just too stingy and was worried that he would damage them and damage his property.

Anyway, the fat man finally did not continue to wave the whip in his hand. Instead, he spit a mouthful of thick phlegm at several men and turned around to leave.

“call–”

Several men breathed a sigh of relief. They ignored the thick phlegm on their bodies because they were already very dirty and didn’t care if they got a little dirtier.

They didn’t hold grudges because of the whipping, but were thankful –

Fortunately, the landlord was kind-hearted and didn’t let us put out the fire. That’s great!

When the fat man walked to the door, shaking off the fat on his body.

A middle-aged man with a big belly in a suit asked curiously:

“You actually didn’t put out the fire they were warming up on? I remember this is not your character, Sir Carnell!”

“Hahaha–”

The fat man named Canel smiled, then opened his mouth full of yellow teeth and smelled of smoke and replied:

“This winter is indeed a bit cold. Although those cheap slaves are not worth much, but if they really freeze to death, then I will lose a few more animals to work for me.”

“Then it seems that our Sir Carnell is still kind-hearted!”The middle-aged man also had a smile on his face and joked.

“Haha – I don’t have a good heart because I often go to church. Could it be that you, Gabriel, have a good heart!?”

Hearing Gabriel’s joke, Carnell retorted directly.

Seeing that Carnell was actually a little unhappy because of this joke, Gabriel’s eyes flashed with helplessness, and then he hurriedly bowed and complimented:

“Of course we, Sir Carnell, are more kind-hearted! In our Republic of Burkina, who doesn’t know the reputation of Sir Carnell?”

But who knew that Gabriel’s flattery would actually slap the horse on the leg.

After hearing this, Carnell immediately turned red, and then shouted angrily:

“Who can not know? That boy named Sankara doesn’t know! I am a knight of the French Emperor, so I put aside my status and went to see him in person.

And what about him? He’s obviously still a little kid, but he’s got a lot of airs! Even if you don’t personally serve tea to welcome me, you actually have the guts to send an official to talk to me!

The most important thing is that even if he doesn’t allow us to export cotton to France, he actually dares to buy our cotton at a lower price than France?

What does he mean? What’s the meaning! Are you planning to kill us as fat pigs? I’m afraid he doesn’t have such good teeth! ”

It was obvious that Carnell was really angry.

But he really wronged Sankara, because Sankara, who was so busy every day, didn’t even know that there was a person like him.

Amélie, the Minister of Agriculture who had direct contact with him, did not take him seriously, so she casually sent an official to receive him.

But Carnell himself didn’t have the leverage, so he was so angry.

But his anger can only be impotent rage.

It won’t affect Sankara at all!

However, it was quite painful for Gabriel, who was standing in front of Kanel. The spittle flew everywhere and almost flew directly into his mouth.

Smelling the stench that gradually filled the air, Gabriel barely managed to spit it out.

If it were spit out directly, the scene would be even more exciting!

Not only did he not spit it out, he also relied on his strong willpower to forcefully swallow the vomit that had reached his mouth.

Gabriel calmed down for a while, waiting for Carnel to calm down.

When he saw that Carne was no longer so angry, he spoke:

“Sir, calm down, there is no need to make your body so angry over such a trivial matter! If you are really angry, then you will really make that boy Sankara happy in vain!

And isn’t this why we come to you today? Everyone else is waiting for you inside the house now! Let’s go inside and discuss it slowly! “
