Chapter 723 She's Smart
Finally, Natalia stopped laughing and said, "Do you really think we can run away as long as we beat the
old couple downstairs?"
Nancy blinked her eyes. Apparently, she believed so.
Natalia shook her head.
"No, you're wrong. Even if we beat them and tie them up in the house so that they can't run after us, we
can't get away."
"Why not?"
Natalia thought for a moment and decided to explain the situation to Nancy with her own experience.
She told her how Flora told a group of children to watch her when she was in the last village.
"Do you get it? It's true we're at Sammy's house now, but in fact, the whole village, even all the
neighboring villages are united."
"Let's say we run away. The next moment, Sammy calls out for help, and the whole village, even
people from neighboring villages will help them go after us."
"Even if you're able to punch them dead, are you able to beat a dozen or a hundred villagers? Even if
you are, we're not familiar with the terrain around here, and what if we go the wrong way? We may die
of thirst or hunger, right?"
Nancy thought for a moment and agreed with Natalia.
She breathed a sigh.
"But I still think one month is too long, and anything could happen during this month. I'm worried."
Natalia was aware that Nancy's fear was justified.
Admittedly, she had heard Sammy tell that young man that they needed to wait for a month.
But no one knew whether they really would do that.
Now the two of them were in a passive position, and anything could happen to them. If possible, they
wished they could get away from this place as soon as they could.
With this in mind, Natalia changed her mind.
She said, "Let's go with the flow and wait for the right opportunity. Anyway, we can't act rashly. We have
to play to the score."
Nancy nodded.
The two of them made up their mind and changed the topic.
At noon, Natalia and Nancy helped Nico cook. Sammy was out for business and didn't have lunch at
home.
Finally, the two got a chance to stay with Nico alone and thought of the interrupted conversation
yesterday.
When the three of them were chatting yesterday, Sammy suddenly broke in.
Natalia was the first one noticing him, and she changed the subject at once.
Oddly though, Nico didn't act surprised or confused at all at that moment.
Thus, Natalia drew the conclusion that Nico must know something.
Finally, they got an opportunity today and Natalia asked, "Mrs. Macchi, about what we were talking
about yesterday, you told us the girls here can't braid bracelets. I suppose, you're not from here, are
you?"
Nico turned pale.
She looked away in a panic.
It seemed that she didn't want to answer this question, so she beat around the bush.
"Well, the water is boiling. I need to go prepare lunch."
She walked away as she spoke.
Natalia and Nancy exchanged meaningful glances.
However, the two wouldn't give up and asked again when Nico finished washing the vegetables, "Mrs.
Macchi, you're not from here, are you?"
Nico dropped her head and her lips compressed into a thin line.
Natalia smiled and explained, "Don't worry. We're just asking. It's just that the breakfast you made
before didn't seem to be local cuisine, so I assume you might not be a local here. Where are you
originally from?"
Nico took a deep breath.
She replied after a long pause, "Don't ask me questions anymore. I won't tell you anything."
She paused and continued, "Besides, it's been too long, and I can't really remember."
After that, she turned around and left.
Natalia and Nancy looked at each other.
The two didn't dare to push Nico in case she told Sammy about it. In that case, he must realize they
had already figured out the truth.
If that happened, the two of them would be in real danger.
With that in mind, both Natalia and Nancy stopped asking questions.
After lunch, Nico was going to send the packed lunch to Sammy, who was doing farm work in the field.
Since Nancy was walking with a limp, she went back to their room.
Natalia, however, wanted to get familiar with the terrain, so she offered to go with Nico.
Nico hesitated, and Natalia begged, "Mrs. Macchi, I stay at home every day and it's so boring. Why not
take me with you. Nancy and I stay at your house for free and we do nothing all day long. We feel
guilty. Please let me go with you. If I know where Sammy does farm work, I can help you send lunch to
him sometime."
Staring at the innocent and kind-hearted girl in front of her, Nico sighed.
She thought to herself.
"And you're still thinking about helping me. Do you know you'll be sold one day?"
Since Natalia begged her, Nico didn't refuse her this time, in case she got suspicious.
So, she replied, "Fine. Come with me."
Natalia got excited at once. "Great!"
The two of them left the house. Natalia followed Nico to a hill behind the house.
Natalia had never been there before. Cultivated land was seen all over the hill.novelbin
Natalia didn't know some of the crops in the field, so she asked Nico about them casually.
Nico answered all her questions. When she saw an ocean of plants with big leaves, she introduced
them to Natalia, "These are poppies."
Natalia was shocked.
Staring at the rolling hill covered with poppies, Natalia asked in astonishment, "Are people allowed to
plant them here? Isn't it forbidden by law?"
Nico sneered, "There's no fucking law here."
The moment she said that, Nico realized she just put her foot in her mouth, so she stopped talking
immediately.
Meanwhile, Natalia's eyes lit up slightly.
No law here?
So this was an ungoverned zone?
It suddenly occurred to Natalia that people had said before that this was a war-torn area, and now it all
clicked.
She kept the terrain in mind quietly as she was walking.
It took the two of them about half an hour to get to the field where Sammy did his farm work.
Sitting on the ground, Sammy was puffing on his pipe. He frowned at the sight of them.
"Why did you bring her here?"
Nico replied in a low voice with a blank stare, "She insisted on coming with me. She said she wanted to
help."
Sammy snorted meaningfully.
He said as he took off the lid, "Don't bring her over. I can tell she's smart from the look in her eyes. She
knows things."
Nico froze.
She threw a glance at him.
But she didn't dare to disobey him.
"I see."
