Chapter 716 Weird Feelings
Natalia didn't know what that look meant.
She wasn't asking for too much, so she didn't understand why he was ridiculing her.
That was making her more and more anxious.
What was worse, she still had no idea who those assassins were on the flight.
Killers hid in the dark and the poor village... and these strange people.
That made her nervous, and she couldn't find a way to relax.
Fortunately, Flora's husband seemed to be a man of his words.
He promised to take her to find the boy's uncle, and he kept his promise.
The man stayed in the village chief's house. So they skipped dinner and went over.
The village chief's house wasn't far from here. It took them less than 20 minutes to arrive.
They saw the big house inside the mud walls brightly lit. They could see it very clearly from afar.
A big fire was blazing outside the house, with quite a few tables around it. Many people were sitting at
the tables and enjoying the feast.
Seeing them walking over, a man raised his hand to greet them, "Hey! Is that Terry?"
Terry responded and led Natalia to a middle-aged man with dark skin, greasy clothes, and gray hair.
"This is my uncle Sammy."
Then he introduced Natalia to the man, "This is the girl my wife brought back. She said she was looking
for a friend. You gotta tell us what to do with her."
Sammy stared at Natalia from up to down, with surprise in his eyes.
"That was you? Is Nancy your friend?"
Natalia nodded in a hurry.
Sammy waved his hand and said, "No worries, she's doing fine. Do you want to meet her?"
Natalia quickly replied, "Yes, can you take me to her?"
Sammy touched his jaw. "Yes, but I'll have to get you blindfolded on the way there. This place had a
battlefield nearby, and we've been fed up with wars. It wasn't easy for us to find such a remote and
peaceful dwelling. We don't want wars here, so we usually won't allow outsiders in. "
"I let you in because you are just a little girl, but I'll still have to get you blindfolded for fear that you'll
leak it out to others when you're out in the future. That will damage our peaceful life."
He said that in a strong accent. Natalia hesitated for a short moment and nodded.
"Okay. Of course."
As soon as she agreed, Sammy smiled even more joyfully.
"In that way, you can have dinner here, and we'll set off together at night. I'll have to go back anyway.
We can go together."
Natalia frowned and asked in a puzzle, "Getting blindfolded and walked over there at night? Thatnovelbin
sounded very troublesome."
"Not at all!"
Sammy waved his hand casually. "You don't have to walk. I came here by bullock cart. You can just sit
on it, and it would only take us one hour or so to get there. It's no trouble at all!"
Natalia then nodded after hearing those words.
So she didn't go back to Flora's place. She sat with them had dinner together.
Flora's husband had a few more words with Sammy, and then he was about to leave.
Natalia felt she owed his family a lot.
So she thanked him and asked him to convey her gratitude to Flora.
After all, Flora had treated her nicely in the past two days. She had saved her life.
She would leave with Sammy after dinner, and she might never come back again.
She would regret it if she didn't say thanks to him in person.
The man gave him an expression that was hard to read.
He didn't seem to be glad to hear Natalia's thanks; instead, the ridicule in his tone was intenser.
"You're welcome, but please don't regret it. I'm sure your life is just as hard as ours... just live your own
life."
Natalia paused and didn't know what he was implying.
The man wasn't going to give her time to figure it out anyway. He waved his hand and left after that.
Sammy then asked her to sit down.
"You don't have to do that... we are neighbors, and we're supposed to help each other. The longer you
live here, the more you'll understand what I'm saying."
Natalia forced a smile. She had no plan for an extended stay.
Nancy was injured now, and they'll manage to get out of there as soon as she recovered,
The question was that there were no electricity or communication tools here. Sammy seemed to be the
most respected person here, and his ride was a bullock cart, let alone others.
Natalia had a headache when she thought of that.
However, this wasn't the right time for her to think about that.
She would have to find Nancy first.
As for what would happen next, they would play it by ear.
Soon, Natalia finished her meal.
Sammy ate slower than her. He talked and drank with the man at the table as he ate.
As worried as Natalia was, she couldn't urge him, so she could only sit aside and wait.
She waited until about 8 when she saw him leaving the table and waved to those people with a smile.
"Okay, I'll show myself out now. I'll see you next time, bye!"
He waved his hand to them again, dined, and wined.
A young man held him and said a fawning smile, "Watch your step. I'll walk you out."
Sammy nodded, and they stumbled out of the place.
The cart he mentioned was pulled by one bull, with a simple carriage behind.
It looked very ancient.
The young man helped Sammy get on it and then said to Natalia, "Get in the carriage now and take
care of him, please. He's drunk. I'll drive the cart outside."
Natalia nodded and said thanks to him. Then she climbed on the cart and got in the carriage.
The carriage was spacious, with two rows of seats on each side.
Sammy was sitting on the left, and he had fallen asleep because he had drunk too much.
Natalia walked over and sat on the left side. The cart moved.
The cart bumped on the rocky road. Judging by the long squeaking of the wheels, Natalia knew they
were moving slowly.
That was Natalia's first bullock cart ride. She felt it interesting, but it wasn't much of a comfortable
experience.
