Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 130 Nine

Find Will, who is directing workers cotton in the cotton field.Scarlett came over and patted Will on the shoulder: "Will, you did a good job."

Will saw that it was Scarlett who came back, but Scarlett obviously lost a lot of weight. It seems that Scarlett must have suffered a lot during this trip to Atlanta and Charleston, right?

"You've lost a lot of weight, Scarlett, but I have some news that can cheer you up." Will said with a smile on his face, but the beard on his face had grown thicker.

Scarlett looked dismissive, raised her proud chin and said, "Really? Then Mr. Will Benting, tell me, what has Tara become during my absence? "

Will threw down the cotton in his hand, and said with a smile: "According to Scarlett's order, I have prepared a full range of weapons, just waiting for those Yankees to throw themselves into the trap to attack Tara, and I will definitely make them pay a heavy price." The price. And, you see, the cotton here is really good, God is really good for us, and we have another bumper harvest this year."

Scarlett finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Will's words, so that Tara would not be afraid of those robbers if she had a weapon, then Tara would be safe.

Scarlett still decided to hire more servants to harvest the cotton, after all, it was a year's harvest.Although there was no typhoon in Tara, cloudy and rainy days were inevitable, so it was better to get back so much cotton earlier so that Scarlett could rest assured.

Under Scarlett's instruction, Will went to the street to find more people to collect the cotton. Soon, because of Scarlett's participation, the cotton was finally harvested.

Will had to admire Scarlett's efficiency in doing things. As soon as Scarlett came, many things became easier.When the cotton harvest was over, Scarlett gave the family servants a day off, and Will and Suellen a few days off.That way they could go out and play, and Scarlett was at home alone with the children.Fortunately, the children played by themselves, which didn't worry Scarlett.It's just that when Scarlett was lying on the deck chair, basking in the sun, she would think that Rhett didn't know what happened.I will still think of Bell and the two children of Jack Paul.

Scarlett once thought that she was old, why did she always like to recall these things.But Scarlett still couldn't help thinking, when she was young, when she met Rhett for the first time, how thrilling it must have been at that time, why didn't she cherish it well.

Scarlett once thought, what would happen if she really gave up Rhett?Back then, I was so obsessed with Ashley that I didn't even care about Meili's feelings. What happened?Ashley still left to find his ideal, and Meili's death also made him understand that she was really worthy of Ashley's love.But what about Janet?How did this simple and kind girl fall in love with Ashley?Isn't this kind of love just like his enthusiasm for Ashley back then?

no, I can not.I didn't know anything at that time, I was just a spoiled child, and Janet's love was so pure and clean, not as worldly as myself.Scarlett really hoped that there would be someone worthy of Janet's liking.It seems that it wasn't a bad thing for me to fall in love with Ashley at the beginning.This is a wealth in my growing up, Scarlett said to herself with a smile, no one can surpass this wealth.

As Eleanor said, no one makes mistakes when they are young.Scarlett missed it, but she went to Rhett after she knew she had repented, and Rhett was the only one she loved the most.And Rhett also loves him the most, those women are just passing by, but why was Rhett so indifferent when he left Charleston?

Scarlett's head hurt from thinking about it, and just a few children asked Scarlett to help fly the kite, so Scarlett had to get up and play with the group of rascals.

After a few days, Will and Suellen came back.Because they are still thinking about Tara's planting, this is a season that cannot be idle.Scarlett felt that Tara was full of life force.

But the good times didn't last long. When Tara, who had finished harvesting the cotton, was about to take a big rest, Johnny really came to her door.When the guards at the gate of Tara made threatening sounds, Scarlett realized that these bastards were really going to attack Tara.

Because Johnny not only came by himself, but also brought a group of kidnappers, and of course there is an important person, the one-legged Archie.This made Scarlett feel a headache, but since the matter came, she had to face it hard. As long as she was around, no one would be allowed to bully Tara.Fortunately, I met him earlier and prepared weapons, but in this place, using any weapon will destroy Tara.

Relying on the large number of people, Johnny yelled loudly at the door: "Scarlett, I want to grab everything. Tara is mine, and it is destined to belong to me. Get out of Tara, get out of here." The presumptuous cry made Scarlett feel harsh. If she shot now, that Johnny would definitely die without a burial, but her marksmanship was inaccurate.At that time, I should have learned how to use guns with Rhett, so I would definitely not be so stretched today.

Scarlett found that she was still thinking about Rhett until now. This was a critical moment of life and death. She really suspected that she was crazy.Rhett and Janet should have met Ashley at this time, they won't fight, right?Scarlett was really afraid that Rhett would kill Ashley on impulse. Although she had forgiven Ashley on the surface, who knew what a man's inner world was like.

Johnny's clamor soon caused a group of robbers to laugh, the laughter was full of obscenity and greed.

"What should we do? Scarlett, are we just waiting to die here?" Suellen said with a slightly trembling voice as she hugged the children tightly.

Scarlett hated Suellen's fear of death the most, "Suellen: You really don't deserve to be the daughter of our O'Hara family. All the women in our O'Hara family are not afraid of death. These bastards, I will make them pay the price." Scarlett stared fiercely at Johnny outside.

Perhaps because of the uneasiness of her family, Scarlett also became anxious. Although she had weapons at hand, if she fired, only Tara would be injured.Scarlett turned her mind quickly, trying to find a way to get the best of both worlds, but all of them were rejected by Scarlett.

Johnny's yelling came in again: "Scarlett, are you going to be a coward? If you don't come out, we will capture Tara. At that time, Tara will be turned into ruins, and you Will turn into corpses. Haha."

The one-legged Archie also echoed: "I think there should be a few beauties in Tara. Our brothers are all greedy, so you can give us meat."

When Scarlett heard this, she wished she could shoot them in the head, but the reality told her that she should remain calm.But if this continues, the longer the confrontation lasts, the less beneficial it will be for Tara.Is Tara really going to be buried in his own hands?Scarlett thought of Tara, the place where she grew up, and suddenly felt infinitely sad.Sworn to defend Tara, sworn to defend his family.Scarlett was always like this, she would burst into light at the slightest hope.This is a place that no one can compare.

There was the sound of unscrupulous laughter from the robbers outside. Of course, Tara was a big piece of fat to them.They wouldn't let Tara go, because they were shouting to kill everyone and take all of Tara.Absolutely not, Scarlett almost shouted this sentence, but now, there is only time to delay, but it is still useless to delay.Scarlett looked at Will asking for help. At this moment, Scarlett hoped that Rhett could fall from the sky, just like the last time when the train encountered robbers, Rhett appeared all at once.But Rhett will definitely not show up at this time, because Rhett and Janet have already set foot on the north, and they are going to solve that problem.

So, Scarlett felt that today might be completely over.No one knows what will happen to Tara, because there will be no more people alive here.Staring at those children, Scarlett suddenly felt infinitely sad. Will such a small child be buried here?No, Scarlett didn't believe it. For the sake of this big family, Scarlett decided to give it a try.

Regardless of everyone's objections, Scarlett still came to the yard.Through the thick wall, Scarlett shouted loudly: "Johnny, don't you just want Tara? I don't care about Tara anymore. I decided to give it to you. Tara will belong to Johnny from now on. "Scarlett actually had no idea. She remembered that Jack once told herself a story about sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight.Scarlett decided to experiment in this way.

The robbers outside started shouting when they heard that Scarlett was going to give Tara to Johnny.And the one-legged Archie was even more angry: "Why should you give Tara to Johnny? What about us? It seems that we need to capture Tara. Come on, men, use the guns in your hands to take Tara Grab it."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Johnny hurriedly said: "Archie, don't worry, as long as I belong to my part of Tara, the rest will belong to you and the brothers. I don't want more, I just want Let them all die."

Scarlett was secretly happy. It seemed that what Jack taught was really hopeful, so Scarlett continued to shout loudly: "Tara belongs to Johnny, you are just robbers, and one-legged Archie is worthy of you." Own Tara? You're just a one-legged dog, and your master is Johnny."
