Paine turned and looked at Scarlett Hao. It seemed that the giant wolf had really caused damage to the northern army, and even escaped unscathed.
"A giant wolf as big as Sharma? That's incredible. Are there such big wolves in the New World?"
Scarlett Hao pretended to be incredulous, but she was really shocked in her heart. The strength of the monster Paine inspired exceeded her expectations. She thought that at most it would cause a little commotion to vent her anger.
"Of course not possible."
The old black man said dismissively.
"It must be the drunken gangsters who caused the riot in the camp. The officer leading the team just found an excuse to shirk responsibility. A giant wolf as big as a Shire horse? This kind of bedtime fairy tale can only scare people. Children, and their guns are loaded with ammunition. Even if they really encounter such a big wolf, can they still defeat it? You dare to say such nonsense as using a twelve-pounder to drive away, but all they use are shotguns! Don't talk about wolves. Even an elephant can be beaten to death."
"But it is true that many northern soldiers were injured, probably by their own stray bullets. At present, all the larger carriages in the city have been requisitioned by them, and I have not been able to leave a good carriage, so for now I can only I can use this carriage to make ends meet."
The old black man took Paine and Scarlett on his back to a shabby carriage.
"The northern soldiers thought the carriage was old and bumpy, so they returned it to me. Okay, get in the carriage. We still have a long way to go from home."
Paine and Scarlett Hao got into the carriage, and the old black man became the coachman and controlled the carriage in front. Through the hole in the carriage, Paine could observe the surrounding scenery.
The city is like a buzzing beehive, buzzing with hustle and bustle. As the most prosperous city in the South, Atlanta was once the North's manufacturing center, medical base, and the South's main supply station for collecting food and munitions for the frontline army. ''
But now this city is occupied by the Northern Army. The Northern Army came here, liberated the black slaves, and built factories. The city is working day and night to industrialize an agricultural society. Although the northern gunboats are currently blocking the southern ports, the northern ports are also blocked by the two major powers of the Old World. The north needs to plunder resources to manufacture its own war supplies - the north is still constantly manufacturing pistols, rifles, cannons and ammunition. This was to prevent direct armed intervention by the two major powers of the Old World.
There are the headquarters of various military departments on both sides of the street. People in military uniforms come and go, and there are countless small clinics and hospitals. The narrow streets were crowded with vehicles of all kinds—horse-drawn carriages, drayage vehicles, ambulances, canvas-covered military carts with drivers covered in mud and sweat, and mules and horses struggling in the ruts.
Oh, and there's a small group of dejected Confederate soldiers with bayonets pointed at them, who are being escorted to prisoner of war camps.
"Miss Pitty is very happy to know that you are coming. She has not been so happy for a long time. The business is so busy that she can't do it. Miss Pitty has not had a good sleep for many days and has been looking sad all day long. Maybe you can give her some advice. she."
cried old Negro Peter.
"I'd love to."
Scarlett Hao smiled, her eyes like blue water showing a little ripples.
As they drove out of the city, a residential area appeared - it was obviously a wealthy area, with stately and stately Georgian red brick houses. The fronts of the houses were surrounded by square hedges, and the houses had small white columns and Green blinds.
On the corridors and in the gardens there were ladies and ladies greeting their carriage. As they passed a shabby house with green wainscoting, a little black girl standing on the front steps shouted into the house, "Here she comes!"
A tall man, a fat middle-aged woman, and a boy in his teens walked out of the house.
"Honey! You're finally here."
Before Penn could help Scarlett Hao get out of the carriage, the fat middle-aged woman hurriedly came forward to greet her. Regardless of the mud, she walked to the carriage and held Scarlett Hao in her arms.
"Honey, you don't know how worried I am about you!"
"Okay, dear, why don't you let Scarlett Hao sit inside first?"
The tall man said. He was tall and skinny, with a pointed iron-gray beard. His clothes seemed to have been blown by the strong wind on his slender body. There was a bit of arrogance in his words, and he even looked at it. He didn't even look at Paine, as if he didn't exist at all.
"I think Petey can't wait to see Scarlett."
But the teenage boy was very curious about Paine, and he boldly poked Paine in the arm.
"Are you an aborigine? How did you become Sister Hao Scarlett's housekeeper? Can you use a knife to scalp someone's head?"
Paine was speechless about this stubborn redneck. The way these colonists treated other races was really disgusting. Looking at the tall man's attitude towards Paine, it was like looking at an uncivilized monkey.
