Chapter 660 A Sensible Girl

While Valery talked to the little girl, Gerald and the others fell silent.

A smile appeared on Theo's lips. "Well, I also lived like this when I was a child, but at that time, my hometown was economically backward. I thought that after twenty years, everyone had changed, but there is still such a place."

Theo was born in the 1990s. At that time, the country was underdeveloped, and the environment was harsh. It was totally different from the modern world.

Theo grew up in the countryside. He joined the Night Watch by coincidence!

Although Theo lived in the countryside when he was a child, he was very handsome and agreeable. The senior high school where he studied was located in the county town. At that time, the gangs ran wild. Theo was born in the countryside and was very low key in school. He didn't cause trouble, but because he was handsome, many girls liked him. Among them, there were many beautiful girls.

This attracted the attention of some hooligans in the school. When Theo went home on a vacation, he was stopped by five hooligans at the school gate.

Theo fought those five hooligans, and all of them got hurt!

Among the five hooligans, someone's family was quite powerful in the county town. Theo was only average academically. The school did not defend him and expelled him.

Theo returned home. At that time, there were several grave robbers in his hometown. Theo had nothing to do, so he followed these people to rob graves!

They went to the North because there was a big tomb there, but they were unlucky. They had just dug the hole when a Blue Elite Ghost came and stepped on the hole, making it collapse. Other people died. Theo was rescued and survived. Then, he joined the Night Watch.

Gerald and the others often laughed at Theo because of this in the past.

Valery looked at the little girl and said, "Joanna, we will also go to Estasate. Can you take us with you?"

The little girl was called Joanna Ferguson. She dropped her guard after talking with Valery. She nodded obediently, then stood up and said, "I have to go. I have to go back and cook." Gerald picked up the basket, took his backpack, and walked along the country road.

After they walked for about 20 minutes, it was getting dark. The sun was setting. Gerald saw many houses ahead.

The houses were in a bad state of repair. Most of them were mud and wooden houses, like those in the countryside in the 1990s.

Joanna pointed ahead and said shyly, "We're here!"

Gerald breathed a sigh of relief. After walking for about five hours, even Gerald felt a little tired.

There was farmland around them. Some people were still busy. They carried hoes and looked curiously at Gerald and the others.

Very few people came to this village, but this time, more than ten people came suddenly.

Moreover, Gerald and the others were dressed a little strangely. With boxes and backpacks on their backs, they did not look like travelers.

The villagers were just curious and not surprised

The villa

Not many people in the village knew about the Night Watch and the Elite Ghosts

Even the Elite Ghosts would not attack this kind of remote village

This was the reason why Dr. T said that if humans failed in the end, they would retreat to this area.

"Do you know Aarav Galloway?" Valery asked,

"Yes!" Joanna nodded "Mr. Galloway is the most knowledgeable person in our village. I heard that he worked in the big city for more than ten years when he was young! He often brought us some toys As Joanna spoke, she pointed to the highest place with the only red brick house in the village and said, "That is his house."

Gerald touched his nose and nodded. "Where is your house? We will walk you back!"

Joanna shook her head and said, "Our house is below Mr. Galloway's house."

Gerald had good eyesight. He looked in the direction Joanna pointed. Below the red-brick house, there was a mud house. In front of the house was a stone dam. A woman in her thirties was standing there, looking at them with trace of worry in her eyes. In addition, a little boy was sitting on the ground, folding something.

"Mom!" Joanna saw the woman. She waved her hand.

Joanna walked over.

Gerald carried the basket on his back and followed Joanna. When they arrived, they saw the woman's face. Different from the others in the village, her skin was relatively pale. It should be because she was sick and rarely went out to work

Valery looked at the woman. Her gaze landed on the woman's legs and she frowned slightly.

The middle-aged woman looked at Gerald and the others warily and asked, "Who are you?"

Gerald smiled, "We came to travel. We met Joanna on the way and saw that she was carrying something very heavy. We came to look for Aarav, so we helped her carry the basket back."

"Oh, you are Aarav's friends!" When the middle-aged woman heard this, she dropped her guard and said in a plain tone, "He is at home."

Joanna said excitedly, "Mom, they are good people. They gave me some food. Warner, come here. I brought you some snacks."

As she spoke, Joanna took out fried chicken and French fries from her small bag.

Warner Ferguson was her brother. His eyes lit up!

When he got closer, Gerald saw that Warner was weaving a small basket with bamboo strips. It was probably his toy.

People in the countryside could weave baskets. It was not complicated. Warner learned it when he was very young.

When Warner saw the snacks, he stopped weaving the basket. He blew his nose, wiped his hand with his clothes, and ran over excitedly. Joanna gave Warner the snacks. Warner jumped up excitedly. Joanna also laughed.

"Joanna, would you like some?" Warner asked.

Joanna's eyes flashed with a trace of expectation. Then, she shook her head and said, "I have eaten a lot. These are for you."

"Yeah!" Warner was excited. He held the snacks and carefully looked at Gerald and the others. Then, he ran into the mud house next to them.

The middle-aged woman smiled, "Thank you. Warner is not very sensible."

"Joanna is very sensible," Valery said with a smile. "We have to visit Aarav. Joanna, we'll come back later to play with you."

"Okay!" Joanna said.

Gerald looked at Joanna and sighed inwardly, she's so sensible at such a young age.
