Chapter 724 What a Naive Girl
They were talking in a low voice.
So, Natalia didn't hear what they said.
She was picking flowers on the hillside not far away from them. She already got a big bunch of colorful flowers, yellow, blue, purple, and pink. Seeing that, Sammy sneered.
"What a naive girl. Look at her. She's picking flowers!"
Nico's fingers slightly twitched as she heard that.
Bringing an armful of flowers, Natalia ran over to them and smiled, "Mr. and Mrs. Macchi, these flowers look so good, don't they?"
Sammy put on a smile at once. "Yes, indeed."
"Can I put them into the vase in your living room?"
"Of course, you can."
The old couple didn't think much of it, believing that Natalia simply loved girlish flowers.
But in fact, these flowers were for a special purpose.
She didn't pick them randomly.
If these flowers were put together, they could give off a psychedelic scent.
Natalia didn't know about this at first. During a mission abroad, she walked by a garden and Felix taught her something about flowers.
In normal people's view, these were simply ordinary flowers.
The psychedelic aroma could only be created when these specific ones were mixed together.
Natalia did so because she found Nancy and her were in a tricky position.
Admittedly, Nancy was able to beat the old couple.
But after all, her leg was broken, so they should avoid physical violence as far as possible.
Natalia, nevertheless, wasn't very good at fighting.
And people doing farm work in the field could never be underestimated. Even if they knew nothing about fighting, they had great strength.
Natalia wasn't sure if she was able to protect herself and Nancy in danger.
Thus, she needed to make extra preparations before things got worse.
After all, better safe than sorry.
When she brought these flowers home, she would air dry and grind them secretly, and that was how the psychedelic powder was made.
Natalia wasn't sure how long the effect would last or how strong it could be, but it was better than nothing.
In the worst case, she could throw it into the enemy's eyes.
With this thought, Natalia picked some more flowers.
Nico sighed silently watching her picking flowers happily.
She felt sorry for Natalia. It was said that she had two children at home. Now she was trapped here, and presumably, she would never get back. Those poor kids! Nico was a sympathetic woman. Seeing Natalia being so lively, she seemed to be watching herself many years ago.
But after all these years, that was all the sympathy left within her.
She would feel sorry for the two girls, but would she tell them the truth or help them?
Out of the question!
It was not that she hadn't tried to run away before, and she had learned the lesson the hard way.
Usually, one could hardly get out of here without the help of a local guide.
Even if she had lived here for almost 30 years, she had actually never gotten out of the mountains. In fact, she had only left the village for once.
After all these years, Sammy wasn't worried that she would run away anymore.
But in local men's view, women didn't need to go out of the village, so Nico had never been given the chance.
In addition, now her child was over 20 years old, and she was getting old.
She had already accepted her fate and given up all hopes in life.
Therefore, she wouldn't try to run away again, but she still felt sorry for Natalia and Nancy.
Thus thinking, she walked up to Natalia after Sammy finished eating, saying, "Hey girl, we need to go back now. Have you picked enough flowers?"
Smiling, Natalia ran over to her with an armful of flowers and replied, "I've got enough! These flowers are so beautiful, Mrs. Macchi. I'll decorate your house with them, and they'll lighten the atmosphere at home!"
Not far away from them, Sammy snorted and grumbled, "Lighten the atmosphere? What's that for? Those flowers can't feed anyone."
Natalia didn't hear his mumbling.
Nico looked at those beautiful flowers, forced a smile and nodded. "They're so pretty."
She passed the basket to Natalia as she spoke. "Put them in here and carry them home."
Natalia nodded, put them in the basket, waving back to Sammy and saying with a smile, "We're going back."
The old man nodded.
Natalia memorized the route on her way back again.
She kept in mind silently the surrounding terrain and certain obvious trees and fields.
She stared at the rolling mountains not far away from them and asked curiously, "That mountain looks so beautiful, Mrs. Macchi. Have you ever been there?"
Nico cast a look at that mountain and shook her head. "No."
"You know, we go on a trip to the mountains like these. When we travel, we prefer those huge ones, because it's more fun. Would you take us there when you have time someday?"
Nico paused for a moment and said, "Nobody lives over there. You can never go over that hill."
"What?"
Natalia was astonished.
Nico hesitated and corrected herself. "I don't know about it. I heard it from other people. There's nothing but forest there. The mountain is covered with a forest. There are wolves in there, so you can never go there."
"Well, I see. Has Mr. Macchi ever been there before?"
"No."
"Then where do you usually go for a trip?"
"We don't have time for this."
Nico snapped. Walking behind her, Natalia raised her brows.
It seemed that Nico realized she just lost her temper, and she recovered herself before saying, "I mean, we don't even have enough time for farm work, let alone a trip for fun. Unlike you city people, we don't g on an outing to the countryside in spring. We need to do whatever we can to survive."
"Hmm," Natalia replied with an air of perfect nonchalance, acting like a spoiled girl.
"Mrs. Macchi, I'll take you out for a trip when you have time. Let me tell you, there's a wonderful world out here. In cities, there are large villas, amusement parks, and many beautiful sites. By the way, Mrs. Macchi, have you ever seen ice sculptures?"
"Where I'm from, we would have an art exhibition of ice sculptures every winter, where you can see ice sculptures in all shapes, such as Snow White, Seven Fairies and so on. It's like a fairyland."
