Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1839
The four set off again. The path they took was considered easy as it was flat ground, so there was no danger.
The four had walked a very long distance unknowingly. They had passed by two hills and reached another hill.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Gerald and his friends found a spot to rest.
Right at that moment, a light caught their attention.
“Brother Gerald, look! There’s a house!”
Rey had sharp eyes, so he saw it right away and shouted at Gerald.
Gerald and the girls looked in the direction. Sure enough, it was a house, and there was smoke coming out of the
chimney.
This surprised them very much. They never thought that there would be someone living in the deep forest. It was
rather unbelievable.
Without any hesitation, they walked toward the house, which was at the bottom of the valley.
By the time they got there, it was already very dark.

Gerald stood at the door and knocked on it.
After a while, the wooden door was opened.
When the door opened, an old man appeared in front of them.
“Old man, could you let us spend the night at your place?”
Gerald smiled and asked the old man.
The old man glanced at Gerald and looked at Juno and Yrsa, who were behind Gerald.
Only then did he nod subtly.
“Sure, come in!”
Having said that, Gerald and the other three entered the house with the old man. They didn’t forget to close the
door properly.
Gerald and the others were very happy. They had been worried that the old man might not have agreed to let them
in just now.
Once inside, the four of them walked into the room.
“Have a seat!”
The old man brought out four chairs for them, and they sat down.
“Thank you, old man!”
Gerald smiled and thanked the old man quickly.
Hearing what Gerald had said, the other three quickly thanked the old man as well.
“You must have not eaten yet, right?”
The old man did not bother about their thanks and asked them calmly instead.
Hearing his words, Gerald and his friends nodded in slight embarrassment.
They were indeed very hungry, and they hadn’t eaten anything for one whole day.
Later, the old man served them some food and tea.
“There’s nothing delicious, just these dishes. You can have them!”
The old man said to them as he served the food on the table.
“It’s alright, old man. We’re very grateful for the food you’re giving us.”
Gerald said immediately.

Soon after, they started eating.
As they were so hungry, everything tasted very nice.
After gobbling up the food, they were finally full.
“Buuurp!”
Rey acted like he always did, letting out a long burp when he was full.
“Old man, why do you live here alone?”
Gerald asked the old man.
The old man was working on something as he sat. He seemed to be weaving something with some bamboo.
“I’ve lived here since I was young!”
The old man gave Gerald a simple answer.
“What should we call you, old man?”
Gerald asked.
