Chapter 720 The Village Doctor
In that respect, Sammy and Nico seemed to be nice.
They were warmhearted, respected, and they liked to help others.
They were sometimes weird, but that happened a lot because each place had its own rules and
traditions in this world.
Natalia couldn't make up his mind yet.
Fortunately, they hadn't done anything to her yet. Natalia could tell that something was wrong with
them, but she couldn't prove it because they didn't hurt Nancy and her at all.novelbin
Thinking like this, she felt less on the edge.
She walked to Sammy who was smoking. Then she smiled and said, "Good morning, Sammy."
Sammy turned over to look at her. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Morning, Nico has got some
breakfast ready for you. Go bring them out."
Natalia nodded. After helping Nancy with a limp sit down on a bamboo chair, she turned away and
walked into the kitchen.
It was a remote village; food was all quite simple.
They were about to have breakfast; Natalia wasn't hoping for any delicacies.
However, Nico seemed to be a very capable woman with a high standard of food. The breakfast turned
to be a decent meal, each dish looking exquisite.
There were fragrant porridge, newly baked bread, and even some french fries.
That breakfast might be simple in the city; it might seem a bit ordinary.
However, it was a feast to Natalia and Nancy because this was a place where they could barely find
anything to eat in the morning.
Natalia's eyes lit up when she saw the fragrant porridge and french fries.
She exclaimed, "That looks beautiful. It smells so good!"
Nico smiled shyly as if this were the first time she was praised in her life.
"It's just a normal breakfast. I don't know if you'll like it. Just have a try."
Natalia nodded and helped her to bring the food out. Then they sat at the table and started to eat.
During the meal, Sammy asked casually, "I knew your nickname was Seven, what's your real name?"
Natalia hesitated and looked at Nancy. Then she smiled and said, "My name is Natalia."
She didn't want to hide anything because even if she told him her real name, she knew nobody here
could possibly have heard about it, let alone recognize her.
Sammy nodded and said, "Your family didn't know you're traveling, right?"
That question was subtle.
Natalia and Nancy glanced at each other again, and then she replied tacitly, "They don't know."
"Then is your home far away from here?"
Natalia smiled and answered, "Far enough. Maybe thousands of meters away."
"Indeed." Sammy's micro-expression changed a bit. Then he smiled and said, "So your family didn't
know about the plane crash."
Natalia smiled. "No, they might not know. Everything happened so fast, and we lost our phones. We
couldn't get in touch with them."
She then asked sincerely, "Sammy, do you know where we can make a phone call? We want to call our
family and tell them that we are safe."
Sammy touched his messy stubble and said, "Making phone calls? That won't be easy. You have to
walk for a whole day to get to the next village. I heard there was a landslide on the way there. They've
shut down the road, and no one shall pass now."
Natalia then nodded and frowned after hearing those words.
"Landslide?"
"Yes, that's bad. The way to the town has been shut down. You won't be able to get out of the village
within this month."
Natalia and Nancy fell in silence at the same time.
They didn't continue the conversation and seemed worried.
Seeing that, Sammy squinted at them and said, "Don't worry. The villagers need to get out. The road
will be reopened sooner or later. It was just a matter of time. It will be long before her leg recovered.
You can't leave here right now anyway."
Natalia forced a smile and said, "That's true. We're just worried if we'll overstay our welcome."
"It's fine, no worries."
Sammy waved his hand and continued, "Girls don't eat much food like guys. If you felt like doing
something, just help Nico with her chores."
Natalia and Nancy found his hospitality very hard to refuse, so they nodded and agreed.
Sammy left home after breakfast.
Natalia and Nancy were at home, helping Nico with the chores.
The chores were nothing more than picking beans and drying radishes.
Natalia and Nancy preferred Nico to Sammy because she was silent and easier to get along with.
She looked exactly the same as any other people here on the outside.
However, the lovely breakfast she made and the expressions she occasionally had were totally from
other locals.
Natalia sometimes had a feeling.
Maybe Nico wasn't a local, either.
However, she didn't have a justified reason to question Nico, so she could only bury her wild guess in
her mind.
In the afternoon, Sammy was back with a doctor.
Nancy knew the doctor. He was the one who treated her legs. Today, he was here to change her
dressing.
The village was too remote to have good medical care. They made some of the herbal dressings on
their own and applied them to her in traditional ways.
Fortunately, Nancy used to get injured a lot during training.
The frequent injuries made her half of a surgeon.
She could treat bruises and fractures.
She also knew which herbs she could use to make wounds heal faster.
Therefore, she kept asking the doctor questions when he applied the dressings to her. She would make
a judgment by herself according to his answers.
The village doctor was a qualified one. She knew everything he gave to her, and she was sure they
could do good to her fractures.
After he changed the dressing, Sammy walked the doctor out.
Nico came in with a clean towel. Nancy felt sorry for letting Nico bring her things in the past few days,
so she apologized to Nico. She wanted her to sit down and have a chat.
"I saw you weaving a bracelet just now. What is it?"
Nico took a half-knitted red rope out of her pocket.
"You mean this?"
Nancy nodded.
The red rope had been woven into a neat and geometrical belt. It was pretty.
