Chapter 380 The Chocobo House

The farther away from Midgar, the greener the surrounding environment.

The truck was still carrying the red comet, and it was heading southeast along the highway with the two motorcycles.

There are very few cars along the way, perhaps because Midgar has been under martial law.Everyone was happy, and the roar of the engine echoed alone on the road.

The Shinra Company may have many problems of one kind or another, but one thing is undeniable, that is, the roads they laid are almost all over the world.Maybe their starting point is just to facilitate the laying of the Moko pipeline, but the highway has indeed greatly facilitated people's travel.

Forests, fields, swamps, as long as there are people in the area, there will be Shinra's magic pipelines and roads.

The home of the chocobo was far away from the town of Cam. They passed through three towns and resupplied twice, and it took six hours to reach the central area of ​​the pasture area.

Stepping on the lush and lush grassland, you will see a rather large farm.

The fields for growing vegetables and fruits spread far away, and the farm was surrounded by fences. Several chocobos with bright coats were running happily in the wide paddock.There is a large windmill in the middle of the farm, and next to the windmill is a two-storey closed farm, which covers a large area.The two dwellings are on the south side of the farm. The weather vane in the shape of a chocobo on the roof is creaking and turning, and the smoke from the chimney can be vaguely seen.

The gate of the farm was not locked but was wide open. Everyone parked their vehicles at the gate and walked into the farm.As soon as they entered the farm, everyone smelled a strange smell, not very smelly, but very unique.

Alice wrinkled her nose: "Wow, what smell? It feels... so strange!"

Jessie beside her explained with a smile: "This is the smell of chocobos. They rely on their special body odor to mark their activity areas."

"But the chocobo caravans in Midgar don't have that smell." Tifa and Heather had been in the rented chocobo caravans used as taxis between the slums of Midgar a few times, and those chocobos didn't smell at all. Such a weird smell.

"Those chocobos raised by Midgar have been specially treated with potions. We can't let the passengers smell this smell every day, right?"

Heather pointed to the farm in front of him: "That's the chocobo farm. The original owner here is Bill Green, who has won four consecutive championships in the global chocobo race around the island. In recent years, he Gradually handed over the business to his son, Beet Green, and there are grandchildren at home, Billy Green and Le Green, and I don't know if Bill and Beet are at home."

Walking into the wide breeding ground, there are [-] stall-like compartments on both sides, and the unique 'kweh' calls of chocobos come and go.

As if he heard the warning calls of chocobos, a boy wearing a straw hat came out of a bird stable and shouted loudly: "Excuse me, are you the guests? There are no chocobos to sell now, please go back." !"

Heather stepped forward and carefully looked at the boy in the straw hat, her voice softened: "Billy Green, I haven't seen you for many years, you have grown up."

"You are……"

A teenager named Billy wore a straw hat, freckles on his tanned face, and was wearing dirty overalls and carrying a pitchfork. He looked back at Heather suspiciously, and when he saw the pair of glasses Suddenly realized: "It's Uncle Heather!"

"...It's Big Brother!" Heather's face darkened.

"Uncle, haven't we seen each other for almost seven years? Didn't the bearded old man who was with you at that time come together?"

Billy looked at the people who were coming, but he couldn't find Zangan in the crowd.But he didn't ask much, but turned his head and shouted to the side: "Ale, look who is here?"

A girl with red hair braided timidly poked her head out from another bird stall: "Brother, who is it?"

"Ale? You were only five years old when we met last time. It's normal if you don't remember me." Heather's attitude towards these two children is completely different from that of adults, and can be called very kind.This made everyone quite surprised, because in their eyes, Heather always had an indifferent attitude, or was full of mocking and mocking smiles, and they rarely saw him in a friendly manner except when facing Tifa.

A Le ran over and looked at Heather carefully, and when he saw the glasses, he shouted happily: "It's Uncle Heather!"

"It's Big Brother... Forget it, do as you like." Heather didn't bother to correct him: "Where's your grandfather, old Bill?"

"Grandpa is going to deliver chocobos to Midgar!" A Le raised his hand and said cheerfully, "I drove there, and I'll be back soon!"

Heather nodded: "Really, what about your father Bit? He also went with the car?"

The faces of the two children darkened suddenly, and Billy lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Mom and Dad...was attacked by a monster while transporting the chocobo half a year ago, and passed away."

Ale on the side also bowed his head silently, and the three women in the team hurried over to comfort the little girl softly.

Heather turned her head and looked at Claude and Barrett with a little helplessness in her eyes.Originally, this farm has been handed over to Bit to take care of it these years, and Bit's level of breeding chocobos has been taught by Old Bill, so naturally it will not be bad.Now that something like this happened, I'm afraid the farm's business would be greatly reduced.

At this time, Heather and Claude looked back towards the gate of the farm. Among the people present, their hearing was the most sensitive, and they heard the sound of a car engine from the direction of the gate.

Not long after, a hale and hearty white-haired old man wearing a red turban and goggles walked into the farm, and when he saw everyone, he said in surprise: "Oh, this is really strange, why did you come here all of a sudden today?" There are so many guests? But I'm sorry, Chocobo hasn't..."

"Old Bill."

Heather's voice sounded: "I haven't seen you in seven years, but your spirit is still so good."

"You are...Heather!" Old Bill remembered as soon as he saw the glasses, and happily ran over and patted Heather on the shoulder: "It's been a long time since I saw you! By the way, that old guy Zangan Woolen cloth?"

Heather curled her lips: "Of course I went touring the world."

"Hahahaha! He's still the same!" Old Bill laughed loudly, and looked at the others: "Are these all your friends? It's hard to imagine that a character like you can make friends, don't you I know how worried Zangan was back then..."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense."

Seeing that the old man couldn't stop talking once he started talking, Heather quickly stopped him:
"What's the situation on your farm? I plan to get some excellent chocobos from you. Why did Billy say that the farm doesn't have any extra chocobos for sale?"

When this matter was mentioned, Old Bill sighed dejectedly:
"Hey, it's all due to the monsters that suddenly appeared in the earthly swamp."
