Old Mel nodded.
Then he closed the door and headed to the center of the village with Eliza.
The villagers they passed warmly greeted Old Mel when they saw him.
Upon hearing that Old Mel was leaving with Cao Xing, the villagers looked surprised...
"Oh! Mr. Mel, are you really leaving Hog Village to live elsewhere?"
"What a pity... My two children grew up drinking milk from your cows."
"Yes, the other two cowkeepers in the village have set the milk prices too high... If Mr. Mel leaves, where will I get cheap fresh milk?"
The villagers wore worried expressions.
Soon, he was surrounded by a group of women.
It was evident that Old Mel was highly regarded.
He maintained a peaceful smile, bidding farewell to all the villagers who knew him.
And when the villagers heard that Old Mel was leaving with Cao Xing, many displayed envious expressions.
"Really envy Mr. Mel, being chosen by such a powerful Lord!"
