About four feet away from Nikita, the chief of the village stopped in his tracks.
Sheehan pulled open the door of the passenger seat. Nikita was about to get into the car. When she heard the voice behind her, she turned her head.
The village chief looked at her and rubbed his hands. He looked nervous. And she smiled awkwardly, "Well, Nikita... Did you come back just to pay worship to your grandmother, right? You don't have anything else to do here, right?"
"From now on, you won't live in Syracuse Village anymore, right?"
The villagers felt uneasy with Nikita.
They were afraid that if she was abandoned by her own parents, she would come back to live in Syracuse Village.
The villagers were worried as they thought of the old days when they were in fear and misery.
So, they asked the village chief to find out.
Nikita and most of the people in their village did not get along. Only Gerda's family had a good relationship with Nikita. Although the village chief was not close to Nikita, he didn't have any old grievances with Nikita. It was much better to let the chief village ask Nikita instead of the other villagers.
"I won't come back except to pay worship to my grandmother." Nikita knew what the village chief had in mind. After she finished, she looked at the villagers who were standing not far away and sneered.
Nikita's answer undoubtedly reassured the village chief.
The village chief was instantly relieved. His smile became a lot more relaxed, "Okay. It's good to know. You guys probably still have other things to do. Well, then I won't delay you. See you next time."
"Village chief," Nikita looked at the joyful village chief and said in a light voice. But in her light tone, the village chief caught some seriousness and warning. "It's my grandma's last will to be buried in Syracuse Village. So, I followed her will and buried her here."
"Although I will not be back often, all of you will be responsible for any damage done to Grandma's grave, regardless of who did it. As long as I see any damage when I come back, I can't guarantee what the consequences will be."
