Chapter 1878 Bashed Him up for Good
Elisa kept feeling like something terrible was going to happen.
She expressed concern to Gareth, but he said, "Don't worry about it. It's pointless to mull over it at this
point. Just treat this as a vacation."
Thus, Elisa did not say anything but continued prepping the vegetables.
A heavy silence fell between them.
Elisa had foraged these wild vegetables a few days earlier with Mrs. Kella. They were delicious as
salads.
Meanwhile, Gareth chopped firewood nearby.
He was intelligent and a quick learner. It only took him a few days to grasp the skill.
They each focused on their tasks and were reasonably well-adjusted to life in this village.
Despite all the troubles they had experienced, Elisa considered themselves fortunate because Anna
never bothered them again.

At the same time, Elisa and Gareth devised plans to steal the compass and escape.
Unfortunately, an annoying person put a wedge in their plan.
Elisa woke up early one morning and left her room to wake Gareth up in the hut next door.
She noticed a rowdy-looking young man moving around suspiciously as she entered the yard.
The man jumped in surprise when he saw her leaving the house.
However, his eyes gleamed after he took in her appearance.
He rubbed his hands obscenely and asked, "Who are you?"
Elisa did not answer him but directed the same question to him. "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The man laughed loudly as if he had heard a funny joke.
Once he was done laughing, he said, "This is my grandmother's house, and you asked why I'm here?"
Elisa's gaze darkened.
He must be the delinquent grandson Mrs. Kella mentioned. There are always a few unruly hooligans in
every society.
The man leered at Elisa and wanted to say something.
However, his voice woke Gareth and Mrs. Kella, and they exited the house.
Seeing the young man, Mrs. Kella rushed to him and shouted furiously, "Sodo, why are you here?"
Sodo grinned nonchalantly. "Grandma, what are you saying? I'm your grandson. Why can't I be here?"
Mrs. Kella did not reply but glared at him.
Sodo shrugged and walked around with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Elisa from time to
time.
Gareth noticed his gaze. He went to Elisa and stood before her, blocking her from Sodo's view.
Sodo cursed under his breath and hurried to Mrs. Kella. He tugged her arm and whispered something
into her ear.
Initially, Mrs. Kella was unwilling to talk to him. Unfortunately, she gave in after his insistence.
They left elsewhere to talk.

Elisa shook her head.
They waited for Mrs. Kella in the yard.
However, Mrs. Kella suddenly stormed into the yard and grabbed a broom before leaving again.
Then, they heard noises like Mrs. Kella hitting Sodo with the broom.
Furthermore, Sodo was howling.
Mrs. Kella kept hitting him while scolding him in their local dialect.
Although Elisa and Gareth could not understand what Mrs. Kella said, they could tell from her tone that
she was scolding Sodo.
Elisa and Gareth exchanged glances and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
However, they were not surprised.
They had lived with Mrs. Kella for some time. She had told them about her useless grandson.
Judging from what she said, he was likely a jobless delinquent.
Fortunately for him, Mrs. Kella had a good reputation among the villagers. Thus, the villagers did
nothing to Sodo, allowing him to live undisturbed. Otherwise, they would have long bashed him up for
good.
