An hour later, a densely populated town appeared below the clouds, and Luo Xu thought about making a call to both the company and his family, so he landed near the town.

In the bitter cold land of the northwest, there are often no people for hundreds of miles, and it is lucky to see a small town here, which is not far from the Snow Peak Valley where the Spirit Snake Tribe is located.

He walked into the town and immediately saw a lively scene, the smell of wine and parsley floating in the air made his saliva churn in his mouth.

The crowd walking on the street is dressed in different costumes, most of them are of different ethnic styles, in addition, you can also see some monks of Yuxiao Palace, but judging from their costumes, the monks walking here are all monks at the bottom of Yuxiao Palace, and they should have been ordered by the master to go down the mountain to purchase goods.

Luo Xu didn't communicate with them, found a place where he could call, explained the situation to the merchant, picked up the phone and called Huang Lirong first.

After a few "beeps" on the other end of the phone, a weak and weak voice came to Luo Xu's ears from thousands of miles away through the microphone, hearing this weak and weak voice, Luo Xu's eyes immediately appeared in front of Huang Lirong's haggard and sick face, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

"Hey, who's that?"

"Lirong, it's me. Luo Xu's throat was astringent, as if he was afraid that Huang Lirong would not be able to hear his voice, and he added, "Luo Xu." ”

"Luo ......"

Huang Lirong didn't even say his name completely, and cried hoarsely with a "wow". How many **** nights and nights she couldn't sleep, so she looked forward to the arrival of this voice, thinking that the tears had gone, but when this voice really came into her ears, her feelings still changed dramatically, and she cried a lot.

Hearing Huang Lirong's cry, Luo Xu felt very uncomfortable, guilt and self-blame fermented in his heart, and he was a little afraid to call home next.

After a long time, Huang Lirong stopped crying and asked, "We all thought you were dead, but I know that you will definitely return safely." ”

Luo Xu said: "I'm not dead, I was just taken away by the bad guys." Lirong, how are my family?"

Huang Lirong sighed and said, "The situation is not good, my uncle is sick, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law have moved back to your hometown in order to take care of him." ”

"Is my dad okay?"

My father has always been in good health and basically never gets sick, but he didn't expect to fall ill this time, which shows how hard his disappearance hit him.

"I've been to visit my uncle, and I'm just overly sad, and if I knew you're okay, I think he'll be fine soon. Huang Lirong said.

"What's the situation with the company?" asked Luo Xu.

Huang Lirong said: "During your absence, I barely supported the company, and many plans that were originally intended to expand were temporarily shelved. I'm a woman, you should forgive me, I'm really not in the mood during this time. ”

"I understand. Luo Xu smiled, "The company doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's gone, anyway, I didn't have anything before." ”

"Luo Xu, where are you now?" Huang Lirong was most concerned about this, she could tell from the number on the caller ID that Luo Xu was far away.

Luo Xu said: "I'm in a very northern place, don't worry about me, I'm fine, I should be home in a few days." Lirong, I won't tell you more, I'll call home. ”

"Luo Xu, don't!" Huang Lirong stopped him from doing so, and said: "The doctor said that the most taboo thing for your father now is the ups and downs of love, I see this call, you don't call, he will be very excited when he hears your voice, it is better for me to inform him first, so that he can have a process of acceptance." ”

Luo Xu thought for a while, thinking that since it was the doctor's advice, it should be followed, so he asked Huang Lirong to pass the word on his behalf.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Xu found that there was no money in his pocket, and the merchant saw his embarrassment, and asked with triangular eyes: "No money, right?"

Luo Xu smiled and said, "Boss, I'm really embarrassed, I didn't bring any money when I went out, you give me an account number, and when I get home, I will pay you back tenfold and hundredfold." ”

"You're a ghost!"

The merchant didn't believe Luo Xu's set, for so long, he hadn't changed his clothes, he hadn't taken a bath, his hair was messy, he was dirty, and he looked like a flower who wanted to eat.

"Don't want to leave if you don't have money, you just called a long distance, and after talking for so long, the phone bill is very expensive, help me call for two days before leaving!"

The boss wears a watermelon hat, two small whiskers on his chin, sharp-beaked monkey gills, and two front teeth burst out, like rabbit teeth, and he knows that he is a miser at a glance.

But this matter is due to Luo Xu, he used someone's phone and had no money to pay the phone bill, if it wasn't for his lack of money first, he could have ignored the boss's excessive demand.

"This phone call will cost you ten dollars at most, but you want me to do two days of fire for you, which means that the salary for two days is only ten yuan. Five dollars a day's salary, boss, you're too shrewd in your calculations, aren't you?"

The shopkeeper sneered: "If you don't want to, it's okay, just give the money." But I'll tell you, it's not something that can be solved for ten dollars. My phone bill here is relatively expensive, just you just called for so long, at least 2,000 yuan, let you call me for two days is cheap for you, don't know what to do!"

Luo Xu thought to himself that if Lao Tzu really wanted to leave, it would not be something you could stop, but if I left like this, I would also have a moral loss, so I thought that I would give you half a day's odd jobs, and I would immediately leave at night.

"Okay, I'm not going to argue with you. I'll do the work for you, and you'll have to take care of my meals. ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "Of course, I open a restaurant, are you still worried that you have nothing to eat?"

After a while, a sturdy young man with a simple head and a foolish head opened the curtain and walked out of the back kitchen, wearing a dirty gray cotton jacket, full of patches, and his face was black and red, the red was roasted by the fire, and the black was the ash of the bottom of the pot in the stove.

"Niu Er, I found a helper for you, you teach this kid well, help me keep an eye on him, if you dare to steal and play tricks, there will be no food!"

Niu Er nodded, grinning at Luo Xu, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "You come with me." ”

Luo Xu followed Niu Er into the back kitchen, and saw several large wooden barrels neatly placed in the back kitchen, filled with swill.

"You help me carry the swill into the car, and we'll get the swill out. Niu Er saw that Luo Xu's body was not clean, so he thought that he was also a person who did rough work.
