Chapter 159 The Poor Old Widow is Entangled
Under the scorching sun, the figure came from far away and was completely revealed to the four people in the tree.
Madam Maggie stood by the wall, looked around, and her eyes swept over a few trees not far away.
The three fat guys suppressed their nervousness and remembered Vifiya's instructions. They lost sight of Madam Maggie.
Madam Maggie stepped on the green grass, making a rustling sound. She stood by the wall for a long time without moving, and Vifiya and the others did not dare to move for a while.
Vifiya couldn't help but feel a little confused. What was she doing?
Based on her observations over the past few days, Madam Maggie doesn't seem like someone who would be in a daze for a long time. Did she make a mistake in judgment?
As she was thinking this, Maggie in front of her finally made a move. She walked towards the direction where Vifiya and the others were hiding.
Vifiya tried to slow down her breathing. Fei Yi and the other two also carefully watched Madam Maggie, but avoided looking too directly at her.
Mrs. Maggie's journey was smooth and the process was safe and sound.
The three of them always remembered Vifiya's instructions. In addition to not making any noise, they also had to avoid paying too much attention to other things while in the tree, and instead ignore their own sounds.
Madam Maggie's figure walked away and disappeared from the sight of the four people.
Vifiya did not move immediately, and everyone else was waiting for her move.
Vifia held onto the rough tree trunk and counted silently. After she finished counting to ten, Madam Maggie showed no sign of coming back.
Only then did she signal the little fat boy that he could go down.
Several people stepped on the grass again one after another, and the fat boy's admiration for her was almost overflowing.
Vifiya did not let her guard down. Before she actually went out, she could not be sure that Madam Maggie would not come back.
She looked at the fat boy, who immediately understood and took them to the place he had been planning.
Fei Yi and Eddie followed behind.
The little fat man picked up a branch at random and poked the wall through the iron mesh. He looked to the right, as if he was confirming something.
Not long after, he threw away the branch, his face full of uncontrollable excitement, and gestured with his hands for them to follow.
Walking into the shade of the tree again, the little fat boy squatted down and gently swept through the bushes. He found that a hole had appeared in the wall there without him knowing.
The opportunity to get out was just around the corner. Before Vifiya could stop the fat boy from checking the entrance of the cave again, he had already gone in first.
She and Fei Yi's eyes met, and they both understood each other's meaning.
Several people followed the little fat man.
Compared with Fei Yi and the others' obvious excitement, Vifiya was obviously much calmer. After all, she had not been in Sansongta for long.
The dim cave entrance was actually glowing with a faint light. Vifiya reached out and touched it gently. Apart from the dampness and granularity on her fingertips, it was no different from what she thought was ordinary soil.
She still secretly took note of this scene.
The light outside the tower is waiting quietly at the entrance of the cave. No matter who comes, it is there.
The sudden change in light made Vifiya close her eyes, then quickly opened them tentatively.
The wind, which smelled of the sea, was a bit sticky, and even through their linen clothes, they could still feel the stuffiness.
As her eyes gradually adjusted to the light, Vifiya could see clearly what was ahead.
Stone houses and wooden houses are staggered in disorder, with occasional fishing nets drying in the sun, and three-pronged harpoons and net bags sparsely placed in front of the houses.
Under the golden sun, the trampled dirt road sparkled with crystal light.
It was almost the same as what Vifia saw when she first arrived at St. Fagus Island, except that her mind was blurry at that time and her vision was partially blocked by Rodo.
The adults living outside the tower...
Before Weifeiya had time to observe, she realized that someone was standing beside her. Fei Yi blinked her eyes in surprise and said in a low voice: "We actually got out like this."
Even Eddie's face was filled with curiosity.
The little fat boy was so excited that anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was about to jump up.
He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and skillfully led them out of the range of Samson Tower.
They all knew that this was not the place to talk, especially the fat boy. He had been caught by Madam Maggie many times, and the first time he successfully escaped was when he was caught by the red-haired girl.
He carefully turned around and around, trying to avoid the sight of adults. After all, within the confines of Samson Tower, some adults who were not afraid of trouble would yell until they were caught again.
The fat boy took Vifiya and the others to the back of an abandoned stone house.
He held his heart: "So fast, so fast."
He looked at the black-haired girl in front of him, and his admiration was about to take shape.
"How did you know Madam Maggie would come here?" The little fat man's eyes were full of curiosity.
Fei Yi looked around curiously: "Oh, never mind all that. We're all out now. Next..."
"Except for finding the old priest, everything else is fine." Eddie said immediately.
She curled her lips.
Weifeiya withdrew her gaze from Fei Yi and asked the little fat boy, "How do you know where the hole is?"
Speaking of this, coupled with the fact that he had successfully escaped, he was in such a good mood that the corners of his mouth curled up. "I found it when I was looking for an opportunity. I don't know who left it. I observed it for a long time. Madam Maggie didn't know about this cave."
Therefore, as one of the most important parts of the plan, he specifically chose that place as the final location.
Vifiya's eyes flashed. So, the little fat boy himself didn't know why the hole appeared.
The little fat man's gaze was so intense that she had to explain, "I'm not sure if Madam Maggie will really go there. It's just a guess."
Yes, just speculation.
Why can Madam Maggie always catch the little fat boy accurately? Either she really knows every child in Sansonta, or the holes that the little fat boy found were deliberately made by Madam Maggie.
Whatever the reason, letting the fat boy get caught on purpose for the first time could somewhat ease Madam Maggie's guard.
Since Maggie could guess the whereabouts of the fat man, the second plan might also be within Maggie's expectations. If she failed to find the fat man the second time she appeared, based on her observation of Maggie, she would go back to her office.
Even if there wasn't any, Madam Maggie went upstairs to the dormitory to confirm the whereabouts of the fat boy, and they had successfully come out in one trip.
The wind behind the stone house is different from that elsewhere, bringing a hint of coolness.
Now Vifiya is the only one left here. Feiyi and Eddie have already run away to wander somewhere else. The little fat man can't wait to find the bearded man grilling fish.
They agreed to return to Samson Tower together before the evening prayer bell rang.
She was not planning to go find the old priest now. Since everyone said he was dangerous, she felt uneasy about going to see him for the first time without any preparation.
Vifiya looked up, wondering where she should go.
She didn't care whether Dale's words were true or not. Leaving the tower just happened to be part of her plan. As for the devil, judging by the progress of her plan, she believed that one day she would see it with her own eyes.
The wind suddenly brought the smell of grass, which penetrated into Vifiya's nostrils and became stronger and stronger.
Realizing that something was wrong, she was about to take a step forward without looking back, when a hand suddenly pulled her up.
Vifiya instinctively wanted to shake off and looked back suddenly.
A dark hand held her tightly, and an old woman appeared silently from nowhere, staring at her with a smile.
"Hello, little girl, why are you here alone?" Every wrinkle on the old woman's face seemed to be smiling, and she looked extremely kind.
Vifiya's hand moved, but the old woman didn't know where she got the strength from, and she didn't move at all.
After realizing she couldn't break free, Vifiya's eyes twitched slightly. She relaxed her strength, concealing her vigilance. With a childlike innocence, she asked, "Isn't it possible?"
Feeling the child's soft hand relax in her palm, the old woman chuckled a few times, but did not loosen the strength in her hand: "Of course."
One had a kind face, the other looked innocent, and they just looked at each other.
She felt warmth coming from her clenched hand, and realized that the old woman was waiting for her to ask something. Somehow, she suddenly felt that if she didn't ask, the old woman would keep doing it.
She had no choice but to ask, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
As if hearing what she wanted to say, the old woman sighed with sorrow in her eyes: "What could it be? I'm just a poor old widow who wants to ask you for a favor."
Vifia hadn't forgotten the unusualness of St. Fagus Island. She asked tentatively, "What do you want me to do?"
The old woman smiled and said, "Well, just chat with me, an old widow."
It's too simple, which makes it even more suspicious.
Vifiya forced a smile and said, "Okay, but can you let go of my hand first? It hurts a little."
The old woman stared at her with her brown eyes as clear as glass, and shook her head in refusal: "No, no, that won't do. If I let you go, you'll run away. I'm just a poor old widow. What can I do?"
"Why is there no one willing to talk to me?" the old woman sighed.
Vifiya frowned, looking troubled. “But my mother taught me not to go out with strangers.”
Hearing this, the old woman looked like she would burst into tears at any moment, and covered her chest with her other hand: "How could a poor old widow be a bad person?"
"That's what bad guys say."
With just one sentence, she blocked the old woman's next words.
The old woman looked up, but the girl with a well-behaved face had a confused look in her eyes.
"There are tables and chairs in front of the stone house. Let's go there and talk." The old woman's expression remained unchanged.
Holding her hand with undiminished strength, Vifiya knew that they had to talk today, and she had no choice but to agree temporarily.
The old woman took her hand and led her to a place under the eaves of the stone house in front, where she would not be exposed to the sun.
Vifiya looked around calmly. The stone house was abandoned and the door was locked tightly. It didn't look like it could hide anyone.
Even so, she didn't let her heart down.
The old woman pulled her to sit down, still not letting go of her hand.
"You can call me Black Granny." The old woman took the initiative to speak kindly.
"Okay, Grandma Black." Vifiya agreed to her words.
The black grandmother looked at her carefully and exclaimed, "What a wonderful child! What's your name?"
Vifiya paused and said, "Xiao Hui." She was not lying. After all, this was the name she gave to Madam Maggie.
"Oh." Grandma Black thought, "The name is also strange."
"Xiao Hui, when did you arrive at St. Fagus Island?" asked the old woman.
Without having to think for long, she replied vaguely, "I can't remember. How about you? How long have you been here?"
When the question was thrown back by her, there was no displeasure on the face of the black grandmother. She laughed again.
