Chapter 84: Suspicion

***

I walked out of the inn to get to the farm area that morning. I saw men walking with hoes on their shoulders; women seemed to be drying clothes, cleaning the yard, and even playing with their children at the beginning of the day.

I took off the light armor in the inn room so that now I was wearing a simple T-shirt with matching black trousers. I greeted people who passed near me one by one; they gave me the same smile after I greeted them in a friendly manner.

I saw an older man with white hair working hard in the fields, plowing the land to make new land for planting. His two grandchildren seemed to be on the other side of the grandfather, helping out by doing other things.

Jonas smiled. He seemed proud that his two grandchildren would help with his work instead of playing with their friends. I was touched by their activities and immediately walked over to greet the older man.

"Can I help you guys?" I asked kindly.
