Go Into the Mountains
The five talked for a while. Gerald said, “Are you going to sleep? I want to go down and talk to Valery.”
“I’m so sleepy. I’ll go to sleep and recharge myself for tomorrow,” Theo said.
“I’m going to sleep, too,” Erik said.
The others were the same.
Gerald was speechless. After saying goodbye to them, he went down.
Joanna’s mother had problems with her legs, so she did not go help with the funeral. On the table,
there were a few dishes made by Valery. In addition, there was a roast turkey.
Joanna and her younger brother were wolfing down the turkey with their lips full of oil.
“Damn, why did you bring a roast turkey with you?” Gerald exclaimed as he looked at Carolyn.
Carolyn revealed a hint of embarrassment as she said, “I’m worried that I’ll be hungry.”
Carolyn was a big eater who would eat a lot at each meal. The key point was that she wouldn’t gain
weight.
Her big backpack was filled with snacks.
“Do you know how long did she struggle when we took out the turkey?” Beside Carolyn, Kristen said
with a smile.
Carolyn smiled but did not say anything.
Gerald sat down beside them. Valery asked, “Can we set off tomorrow?”
“No problem.” Gerald nodded. “Go ahead with the food.”
After they finished eating, Joanna’s mother was about to do the dishes when Joanna stopped her and
said,
“Mom, go take a rest. I will do it.”
Joanna was sweet. She knew that her mother had problems with her legs, so she took the initiative to
do the dishes.
“I’ll lend you a hand.” Joanna’s brother said with a smile.
The two collected the dishes and went to the kitchen. Then, Valery walked to the middle-aged woman
and smiled. “How is your kids’ academic performance?”
“Joanna ranks first in her class. She said that she wants to go study at the best university in the
country.” As the middle-aged woman spoke, she said with some concern, “I don’t need to spend much
money for now, but after she studies at a high school, we will feel more pressure. Her father works as a
security guard and can’t earn much money.”
Valery smiled, and then she took out 3,200 dollars.
The woman was stunned and refused to take it. “What are you doing?”
Valery smiled and said, “3,200 dollars is not much for us, I hope it can help you. Take it as the payment
for our meal and accommodation.”
“We can’t accept it. You come from far away. We should accommodate you. We can’t take the money,”
the woman said anxiously. 3,200 dollars was an astronomical amount of money for them. They might
not need so much money to build. a house.
“Miss,” Gerald said. “You know that Joanna is a good student. She is in primary school now, but as her
study goes further, the tuition fees will increase. You can apply for loans, but they might not be granted.
Sometimes, loans are even granted to rich students. If she needs that much money for her study, what
will you do? Ask her to quit?”
As he spoke, he smiled, “We like the girl and want her to continue her study. In the future, after she
becomes a university student, she can work in our company.”
The woman was stunned.
“Take it. Don’t feel guilty,” Valery said softly.
The woman’s eyes were glistening with tears.
She has been living a bitter and poor life, but life had to continue.
When she heard Gerald say that the money would be used to cover Joanna’s tuition fees and living
expenses, she did not refuse it. She stood up and wanted to kneel to Gerald.
Valery supported her. If one paid attention, they would find that when Valery held the woman, one of
her hands was on the woman’s wrist and the other pressed on her legs at a fast speed. Then, Valery
frowned slightly.
“Miss, you don’t have to do this. Just ask Joanna to study hard. If you’re short of money, we will bring it
to you,” Kristen said with a smile.
The woman sighed and cried.
The money moved her to tears.
Gerald blinked at Valery. Valery understood it. The two walked out of the room. Carolyn and Kristen
went to comfort Joanna’s mother.
Outside the door, Gerald asked, “How is it?”
“Her leg was broken and was not treated in time. It can’t be cured,” Valery sighed.
Gerald’s expression changed slightly as he said, “Then there’s no other way. We will help them as
much as we can. In the future, Jaquan will pay for the tuition fees and living expenses of the two
children every month. However, we can’t do that forever. After Joanna graduates from university, she
has to rely on herself.”
Helping people might make them develop a bad habit.
Gerald thought that it was all he could do.
Valery nodded. “Take a good rest. After going into the mountain, there might be a fierce battle.”
Gerald nodded.
At this time, the sky turned completely dark. It was about nine in the evening. Gerald returned to
Aarav’s house. On the second floor, he found that the light in the pink room was still on. Isla was sitting
in front of the window and looking into the distance.
Gerald glanced at her and did not take a further look. He pushed open the door to the room. Inside the
room, Claude was already asleep.
Gerald did not wake him up. He took off his uniform and went downstairs to take a shower. Then, he
lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps it was because he was tired during the day, his sleep was pretty good. He woke up twice. The
first time was when Aarav went home. It was two in the morning.
The second time, he felt as if someone came into his room, but waking up, he did not see anything.
He slept until eight o’clock the next day before he got up.
After washing up, he went downstairs.
Aarav made him breakfast downstairs. What was in front of him was a pot of porridge and some
homemade pickled vegetables. It was simple.
After breakfast, the four girls came with backpacks.
Aarav changed his clothes. His boots were replaced by hiking shoes. He wore a straw hat and brought
a rifle and a large bag. Then, they left for the mountains.
After resting for one day, they planned to go into the mountain for their destination.
When Gerald left, he could not help but look back. He found that Aarav’s father was kneeling on the
ground as if he was praying.
Meanwhile, Aarav’s wife, Isla, was standing in front of the window on the second floor, looking at them
with interest. She kept that mysterious smile all the time.
Gerald walked all the way to the entrance of the village. When he looked back, he saw Isla’s smile,
which made him somewhat uncomfortable.
However, he did not think too much about it. A group of ten people passed the entrance and walked
into the forest.
