Chapter 1390


    After all, we were all tired from the long drive.


    Sheridan handed Bobbie a bottle of water and some bread, and we ate by car. While eating, Bobbie


    said, "There are twenty seven families in this vige, but most of them are big families. Each family


    has about seven or eight children. I will take you to see themter. If there is no problem, I will


    contact the doctor as soon as possible to perform the operation."


    I was a little perplexed. Looking at him, I frowned and said, "Can the surgery be done so soon?


    Compatible bone marrow and kidneys are not easy to find."


    He ignored me and shoveled the bread into his mouth. Then he took a few gulps of water and said,


    "Let''s go!"


    The vigers lived halfway up the mountain. Probably because of the recent rain, the dirt road was


    muddy and covered in puddles. There was mud all over my shoes, and even the hem of my pants


    was covered in dark yellow mud. It was very difficult to walk. The viscous sludge was sticking to my


    shoes. I could not lift my foot up after stepping into it.


    Bobbie was probably used to walking such roads. Seeing that we were a little slow, he frowned


    slightly and said, "Don''t step blindly. Look for ces where there are stones and follow the trail that


    other people have made in the mud."


    I nodded and looked at the few hundred meters ahead. The reason why we didn''t drive was


    because it was impossible to drive the car up this dirt road at all. Bobbie said that cars couldn''t drive


    down these roads, especially on rainy days. These roads were meant for oxcarts, not cars.


    Sheridan and I followed him for a while. The sky was getting dark. Fortunately, there was still power


    on my phone, so I turned on the shlight to light the way.


    It wasn''t easy to get there. Both Sheridan and I had mud on our knees, and our shoes were filled


    with water and mud. It was extremely ufortable. Bobbie stood outside one of the houses and


    shouted, "Is anyone home?"


    A ck dog was tied to the front door of the house. Upon seeing peopleing, it began to bark


    non- stop. It looked fierce and vicious. Fortunately, the dog had a rope tied around its neck. I stood


    next to Sheridan, feeling a little stunned by this scene.


    The house in front of us was made of red y and ck tiles. It looked a little crooked from a


    distance and seemed like it would copse at any minute. There was a concrete yard in front of the


    house with a pile of ck coal ced on the ground, covered by a thin tarp that had been damaged


    by the wind and rain. When the wind blew, the tarp that had been stained ck by the coal fluttered,


    making strange noises.


    A hunched man came out of the house, probably because he heard someone outside. The man


    opened the old wooden door slightly, stuck his head out and looked around. When he saw Bobbie,


    he grinned, disying his yellowish teeth, "Mr. Hathaway, you''re here."


    He quickly came out to wee him. He was wearing a shiny ck coat. I took a closer look and


    found that the coat was originally grey with fur. However, it was a little dirty because it had been


    worn for a long time. The fur was covered withyers andyers of dirt and resulted in a ck and


    shiny sheen.


    "I''ve brought a friend here. Are you guys done with your work?" Bobbie spoke to the man in a


    foreign dialect. The man nodded repeatedly.


    He said in a deep voice, "Yes, we are done. Let''s talk inside the house. It''s very cold outside."Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
