Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 195

Hump Village was a small and secluded village in City Y, East Sea province. Harold couldn't get inside of it when he pulled over to the entrance. The road paved inside to it was too narrow to drive in and even narrower than the road to the Lotus Tea Manor. He got off from the car and walked further, failing to find a single soul along the way.

This was more like a discarded place, without remains of living creatures and without any hints of human flesh. It was even impossible to see one small kid around this town.

Harold walked through the deserted place and finally saw an aged old man farming in his farmyard. He walked closer to the old man, who was busy with digging sweat potatoes. There were sweat potatoes in all kinds of shapes scattered on the ground in a cloth bag, being peeled off from their muds, shining in their magenta skin.

"Hello sir," asked Harold, "Do you happen to know Spencer Smith, Doctor Miracle?"

The old man didn't hear him. It seemed that the old man was a little deaf and he kept being busy with his work. "Sir, is there any chance that you would know doctor called Spencer Smith?" Harold asked him again

The old man didn't respond.

Harold thought the old man was probably deaf. And he was up to somewhere else to look if there were other households around.

Nevertheless, he found nobody around all along this entire village. These houses in this village were cold and strange, as if no one had been here for a very long time. Some houses were locked, others not. The walls were so low and east to climb, so he leaped into one of them. The house was tidy-clean, even the stools were placed in order.

The village was not robbed, as it seemed. But everyone left and it was not clear why. More interestingly, the houses were left behind very clean.

Harold came out from the village. He walked towards the farmyard again. It was already noon. It took him several hours to drive from the downtown area, but he actually found nothing here, so naturally, he was a little bit irritated and he was sweating because of the heat. When he walked closer, the old man was still engaged in his farm work.

He called Emily and said," there's no one in the village. I can't find any walking person except this old man. And he might be deaf! I can't get any answers from him. The village was nearly deserted and nobody was around." He said on the phone.

"How old is this old man? Is he ninety years old?" Emily asked him.

Harold observed the old man with rapt attention, "he doesn't seem to be ninety years old. Maybe he is seventy. His hair is all white while he appears to be very stout. Besides, he doesn't stop even for a moment while working so much just now, and he doesn't have a drinking cup with his side." He said to her.

"Go help him with the farm work." Emily said.

"Miss Emily, do you mean that he is...?" Harold asked hesitantly.

"I'm not sure," she said. "but don't you say that Doctor Miracle has a weird personality? Maybe he heard it and pretended not to hear or maybe he didn't want to pay attention to the people outside from this village."
