Chapter 160 Black Granny Another Question
Something was gleaming on the dirt road.
A child and an old woman were sitting on the side of the road, out of sight of everyone.
"As for me..." The old lady still had a smile on her face, as if lost in memories. "I've been here for almost forty years."
After saying that, he glanced at Vifiya, who widened her eyes slightly and said, "It's been a long time."
"Yes." She didn't miss any of Vifia's subtle expressions. "How old are you?"
What on earth was the old woman trying to do? Even though Vifiya was wary in her heart, she didn't show it on her face.
"Six years old." She answered honestly.
"You are so young, and you come here alone. Are you scared?" the old woman asked with concern.
The girl shook her head. The old woman's concern and the lack of malice she showed seemed to have lowered her guard a little. A hint of unease crossed her face. "No."
As if to reassure herself, she asked, "Black Granny, can I ask you a question?"
A flash of surprise flashed across the old woman's eyes, which Vifia didn't notice. She said, "Of course."
Vifiya lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, the uneasiness in her dark pupils didn't seem fake. "I just arrived here, and someone said I... am a devil. Do I really... look like one?"
Her words were direct yet tentative. She really was like a naive child, a child who had just arrived on a strange island and was unfamiliar with everything.
Because of ignorance, they are unscrupulous.
The black grandmother's smile remained unchanged, and the amusement in her eyes was hidden in her brown pupils.
An interesting child.
Grandma Hei held her hand tightly and didn't let go: "Xiao Hui, do you believe that the devil really exists?"
Just as Vifiya threw questions to her, she threw them back.
"I don't know," Vifia replied.
Grandma Hei lowered her eyes, her gaze fixed on the silver bracelet on her wrist, an ordinary ornament that didn't look anything special.
She slowly shifted her gaze to her face again, a child whose every move was no different from that of an ordinary child except for her appearance.
The black grandmother, who originally just wanted to find a small toy to relieve her boredom, was now really interested.
She almost got cheated too.
If the girl in front of her had not been so brave as to try to get some information from her after hearing that she had lived on the island for forty years, she might really have thought that she was just a child who was calmer than ordinary children.
It was normal for people to be curious and interested in mysterious things, but she obviously knew less about St. Fagus Island than most people.
How many people outside the island have never heard of St. Fagus Island?
"You don't remember what happened before, do you?" Grandma Hei spoke unexpectedly, and she was extremely confident.
"Little kid, it's not good to be too thoughtful." There was concern for Vifiya in his words, but she heard a hint of ridicule.
Even though she was seen through, Vifiya's expression did not change. After all, the two things that Grandma Black said were of no importance to her.
The black grandmother carefully observed her expression for a moment and said: "What a dishonest child."
Despite saying this, the smile on her face remained.
She took Vifiya's hand and stood up: "Go for a walk with the old widow."
She looked down at the motionless girl and said, "You're getting old, you should move around."
The two looked at each other in a silent standoff. The black grandmother seemed helpless in the face of the child's stubbornness and vigilance. She moved her hands more forcefully and tugged, "Come walk with me."
The palm of the black grandmother was rough, scratching the back of Vifiya's hand a little painfully.
She staggered, but quickly balanced herself and stood firm.
Grandma Hei nodded with satisfaction, but just as she took a step, she slipped on a small stone on the ground and was about to fall down.
Vifiya was happy to see the black lady fall, but she was still holding her hand tightly and didn't let go even when she was about to slip. Vifiya had to stretch out her other hand to help her steady her body.
Grandma Hei clutched her chest and said, "I was really scared to death."
"Let's go, let's not stay here anymore." After saying this, he didn't express any gratitude to Vifiya, but instead pulled her away.
"When did you start targeting me?" asked Vifiya behind the black grandmother.
Grandma Hei frowned: "How can it be considered staring? I'm not a bad person."
Stepping back into the sunlight, she led Vifiya through a group of abandoned stone houses. Because there were not many people around, it seemed a bit eerie every time they passed through the shade.
Very suitable for ambushing people, at least that's what Vifia thought.
She suddenly said in a dark voice, "You sound like the kind of wicked mother-in-law who wants to secretly take me away and sacrifice me."
The black grandmother, who was trying to pull her forward, paused when she heard this. She looked her up and down and asked doubtfully, "Sacrifice to whom? The devil?"
"Do you really think the devil would be interested in a kid like you?"
Vifiya keenly caught something, but she said nothing and followed the strength of the black grandmother.
A neatly dressed woman stood among the cypress trees, carefully drying her fishing nets.
The fishing net was hung on the wooden pole at both ends, with the middle part almost hanging to the ground.
Strangely, the woman was still concentrating on sweeping away the mud from under the fishing net.
The woman was humming softly. She raised her head and remembered the old woman in her sight. She was about to lower her head when she suddenly caught a glimpse of someone holding a child.
Her eyes widened, and the slight fear she had of the black grandmother disappeared when she saw the child, and she rushed out.
"Daughter! Daughter!" the woman screamed. The black grandmother stared at the woman who was running over and stood in front of Viphis.
"What daughter? You are so confused!" The black grandmother scolded rudely and pushed the woman's face away.
The woman shuddered when she heard that, and her dazed pupils gradually focused.
"Is your daughter so old?" Grandma Hei patted her wrinkled face.
Vifiya looked at the black grandmother who put her behind her. She observed the two of them calmly. After thinking for a while, she decided not to try to break free from the black grandmother's hand.
"If you bother me again, I won't buy anything for you next time." Grandma Hei said lightly, and the woman's face changed.
"No! No! How can I see my daughter like this?" The woman muttered and turned around, "No... No..."
The black grandmother turned around and put her arm around Vifiya's shoulders, letting her walk side by side with her, hiding her with her shadow.
The warmth of Grandma Black's palm came through the linen, and Vifiya moved uncomfortably.
Apparently, this little gesture was misunderstood by the black grandmother. She glanced down and said in a rather sarcastic tone, "Why, are you going to be Toto's daughter?"
Vifiya glanced at her: "I didn't say that."
Her eyes flashed and she asked, "What are you selling?"
"I won't tell you." Grandma Hei refused without hesitation.
She did not hide her current emotions, and Vifiya knew that Grandma Black was angry as soon as she heard it.
The gambling was inexplicable.
Do I have to waste my time on the black grandmother after finally coming out?
waste?
No, Granny Black must know something. She couldn't help but think of the last words Dale said to her, "The devil is real."
How could she be so sure unless she saw it in person?
“I did it!”
A loud shout interrupted Vifiya's thoughts. She turned her head and saw a bearded man running towards her, dancing with his hands and feet. He gave a big kiss to every person he passed by.
He stopped short when he reached the front of Black Granny, his face filled with fear, as if he hadn't even seen Vifiya. He stretched his neck and said, "You lied to me! Wild grass isn't the god of the world. I'll be fine if I eat it!"
"No." He seemed to have suddenly realized something, and his already distorted face became more crazy. "I ate the God of the world! I... I am God! I am God!"
"Bang!" Before he could even finish his laugh, a large spoon smacked him on the head. The middle-aged woman with uneven hair started cursing, "Nonsense! You told me yesterday that goats are the gods of the world!"
"There is only one God in the world!" The middle-aged woman's face was full of piety and admiration. She involuntarily let go of the large spoon in her hand, making a dull sound on the dirt road. "The Great Mother Goat Goddess."
The dizzy man refused to give in: "There are no goats on the island!"
As usual, the black grandmother took Vifiya around their quarrel.
Vifiya had been observing everything around her since the old woman brought her to the crowded place.
She seemed to understand vaguely why Lady Maggie had ordered that the children not be allowed to leave Samson Tower.
Is it because the adults are “unusual”?
But this reason alone is not enough. Speaking of "unusual", didn't Sansanta's children come to St. Fagus Island because they were "unusual"?
The sultry wind blew into the ends of Vifiya's hair, and the hand held by the black grandmother felt sticky and hot.
She didn't miss the attitudes of others along the way towards Black Granny. No matter what their emotions were, they all distanced themselves from her.
The "unusual" thing that can make "unusual" people stay away from her on their own initiative, Vifiya raised her eyes, what did the black grandmother do to make them avoid her?
She carefully recalled every move of Grandma Hei. Her "difference" was not obvious. The only thing she could vaguely feel was her strange temper.
But it’s not that they can’t communicate. Compared with those people just now, the black grandmother is obviously much more “normal”.
"Why don't you tell me what you want to do?" When they turned into the back of a stone house again, Vifiya decided to take the initiative to ask.
The black grandmother didn't stop and asked, "What answer do you want to hear?"
"Xiao Hui, don't try to pry into things you shouldn't know."
Sure enough, Vifiya's eyes moved, and Grandma Hei guessed her purpose.
She stopped suddenly and grabbed the black grandmother's wrist with her other hand.
The old woman had to turn around and look at the little girl. The girl's eyes were firm, and her dark pupils were even deeper than the night: "You have seen it."
The girl uttered the last two characters silently.
Black Granny could tell at a glance that the word she was saying was the devil.
The wind blew through her gray hair, and Grandma Hei seemed to be smiling.
She underestimated this girl. She was too smart. Which sentence did she start to discover?
However, Grandma Hei didn't want to mention this topic now, so she took the initiative to answer another question.
"Do you know a kid named Dale?"
