Early the next morning, Lao Xu drove the old truck back to Greedy Town. But as soon as he returned, he felt a slight change in the aura of Greed Town.

He couldn't say what the change was, maybe it was just like Jiang Man said, he had some bad premonitions.

However, in fact, Lao Xu's feeling was right. Two blocks away from him, a group of Greedy Town residents were scrambling to make their way to a nondescript store. Panic eroded their hearts, making them almost lose their minds one by one.

What does that humble shop sell? It sells something that is inconspicuous, a can of water.

Lao Xu didn't know that unintentionally, he was swept into a larger whirlpool.

"What's wrong with this Ah Chai?" Lao Xu put down the communication device in confusion and thought worriedly, "I haven't replied to my message for so long, is something wrong?"

Later, Lao Xu drove back to his pickup truck and rushed to the warehouse where they had met earlier. But strangely, the warehouse door was locked. Looking through the window, the warehouse was also strangely empty.

This made Lao Xu feel extremely uneasy, because in the town of greed, it is a very rare thing to go out of business. They won't close until a special holiday or a special event happens.

"Ahchai, hey, I've parked the truck at the inn! Hey, get out of here. ”

Lao Xu shouted as he knocked on the door. But a few minutes passed, and there was still no movement in the warehouse.

"It's so weird. ”

After Lao Xu returned to the inn, he hurriedly asked the front desk if a person named "Ah Chai" had contacted him. But the answer at the front desk was very brief, no.

"Could it be that Ah Chai is busy with something, so he doesn't have time to talk to me?" he thought to himself, "It doesn't make sense, no matter how busy he used to be, he would give me an answer." Ouch, it can't be because I really delayed some time yesterday, and the buyer is making things difficult for him. ”

Thinking of this, Lao Xu immediately went to the center of the town, ready to inquire with the people from the Greedy Town Market Management Association.

As he drove slowly towards the center of town, he was amazed by the magnificent decorations along the way. The further you go to the center of town, the stronger the smell of money becomes. Several golden high-rise buildings stand in front of them, and the people who live there, whether they are dressed or appearance, are inseparable from the "gold" decoration.

However, the town centre is not accessible to everyone. Lao Xu was stopped outside the checkpoint, and a staff member with a cold and arrogant expression walked to his car and said very seriously.

"Please show your identification card. ”

Lao Xu thought to himself, why don't you just go into the center of the town, and you still have to confirm your identity! How can Lazy Town save trouble and how to come, and this greedy town is really a bunch of tedious things!

"Please, show your ID card!" the staff member suddenly became very bad.

"Okay, okay, don't you just authenticate the card!

Lao Xu took out the silver card from his pocket, but unexpectedly, after the staff glanced at the card, he rolled his eyes at him and walked away.

"What do you mean!" shouted Lao Xu angrily.

"You are not eligible to enter. ”

"What are you kidding? It's a silver card, I'm not eligible to enter?!"

"Not eligible. The staff member said coldly, and stopped paying attention to him.

Lao Xu was so angry that his nose smoked, but when he saw the roadblocks full of sharp cones in front of him, he didn't dare to rush straight in. So, he had no choice but to turn around and return to the inn.

Although he was very angry, he kept cursing the staff with a bad attitude, and he just wanted to get out of here quickly. But he was still very worried about Ah Chai's situation, so he decided to be there

This stay for two more days, and so on.

Unexpectedly, three days passed, and Ah Chai was like evaporating from the world. Lao Xu looked for someone he could find, but he never heard from him.

At this time, Lao Xu couldn't wait any longer, the side effects of the healing life had already begun, and his body and appearance were aging at a rapid rate. He must return to Lazy Town before he can drive himself.

So, Lao Xu left a letter to Ah Chai in the room, informing him that he had left the town and explaining some things to him. He knew that if Ah Chai was still there, he would definitely come to his room.

......

It was another afternoon, and Lao Xu drove his beloved pickup truck on the way back to Lazy Town.

As usual, he called out Mia for "incoming music". After receiving the command, dynamic music immediately sounded in the cab:

[My enthusiasm is like a fire that burns the whole desert]

However, at this time, Lao Xu, who had entered the "mid-life crisis", was no longer able to sing along. He could only hum a melody, and his body could only sway to the rhythm very slightly. In the most excited part, he couldn't help but shake his shoulders violently, but inadvertently flashed to his waist.

Before he could start burning the entire desert, his body burned first. That stinging pain almost killed Lao Xu, and after a long time to recover, he didn't dare to move.

In the barren desert, I saw him controlling the steering wheel with one hand, rubbing his waist with the other, and sighed helplessly: "It's only been two days, and I want to die of that young body." ”

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately slammed on the accelerator, and the truck sped out like a rocket.

But the town of greed is a long way from the town of laziness, and how hard and boring it is to keep stepping on the accelerator. So it didn't take long for Lao Xu to yawn and say drowsily.

"Mia, help me turn on the automatic cruise. ”

"The automatic cruise has been turned on, and it is two hundred and seventy kilometers away from the town of Greed, and it is expected to take three hours to arrive. ”

"Okay, then I'll sleep first, don't wake me up if there's nothing special. ”

"Sleep mode has been set. We're here to help. ”

In just half a minute, Lao Xu fell asleep.

......

"Drip, drip, drip!"

The shrill siren woke Lao Xu, and he opened his eyes dimly to find that the entire cab was lit up with red lights.

"Not good!"

He thought something dangerous had happened, such as a lazy drone attacking, and quickly sat up straight. Just as he was about to flee in his car, he heard Mia report unhurriedly.

"Vital signs were checked. ”

"What?"

"Alone. ”

A round frame pops out of the windshield, which acts as a magnifying glass to magnify the scene from two kilometers away as if it were right in front of the car.

Lao Xu took a closer look and found that the person Mia was referring to turned out to be a tall and thin girl. She walked slowly forward with her hands down, hunched over. When I zoomed in again, I saw that she was wearing a clean set of clothes, not like she had been in the desert for a long time.

"Who's here?" he looked left and right at the girl, but her long hair was over her shoulders and covered her appearance.

"Unable to find this person's information. Need a feature search?"

"No, no, you know that you must be lost in the desert. Looking at this walking posture, it is estimated that he has suffered from heat stroke and dehydration. Hurry, let's go and save her!"

After that, Lao Xu stepped on the accelerator and galloped

to the girl's side.

"Girl, girl......"

However, the girl ignored him, and her walking posture became more and more strange.

"Could it be...... Wild ghosts...... "Lao Xu is most afraid of this thing."

At this moment, the girl's body suddenly shook violently, and her long hair fluttered wantonly in the wind, as if she were alive. This can poke Lao Xu's point, so scared that he stepped on the accelerator again and drove away.

But halfway through, he suddenly realized that there was no ghost in broad daylight! and he had just seen the girl's appearance between the ends of his hair.

So, very embarrassed, he reversed the car and stopped beside the girl.

"Aunt"

Unexpectedly, the girl still ignored him. Only this time, it was because she somehow fell to the ground.

Lao Xu hurriedly got out of the car, checked on her condition, and carried her into the car. Along the way, she was groggy, and Lao Xu asked a few words, and she only answered one or two vaguely.

At first, he was afraid that she was some kind of madman, the kind that would be driven out or abandoned in the wilderness. But soon he found out that this girl was normal, but she always looked preoccupied.

Somehow, the girl suddenly began to wheezing in pain, her limbs twitching violently, and then she slammed the door open and fell to the sand.

This frightened Lao Xu, and he hurriedly ran to her side, constantly following her back. Gradually, she smoothed her breathing, but she also passed out.

......

Lao Xu ran all the way worriedly, and it took half the time to rush back home. Then he carried the girl to the compartment and put her in the healing room in the room.

"Who are you?" he asked, curiously across the barrier.

No sooner had he settled the girl on his front foot than the doorbell rang on his back foot. He didn't have to think twice to guess that it was a lazy subordinate.

Sure enough, a burly guard swaggered into the house, and without Lao Xu's approval, he ran directly to the compartment and checked and recorded the girl.

"Who is this?" asked the guard solemnly.

"I ...... I don't know ......."

"I don't know, Lao Xu, don't you know that our town doesn't accept people from unknown sources? Do me a favor and throw her out." ”

"What? She's lost in the desert alone! It's a desert with no people! I can't leave her alone!"

"Who are you excited about? Anyway, we can't accept her. ”

"Tsk! That can't be so ruthless! She's in a coma now, and I don't know who she is or where her home is! I'll have to wait for her to wake up, ask for clarification, and then send someone back!"

The guard pondered for a moment, and finally said coldly, "You'd better do this." Then he left.

......

What Lao Xu didn't expect was that the girl seemed to be asleep, the recuperator had stopped working, and she hadn't woken up yet. Moreover, she would suddenly break out in a cold sweat and tremble violently.

In order to take care of her, Lao Xu had to postpone the time to enter the healing life, which also made his health very poor.

Three days passed, and after handing over the money recovered from this trip, Lao Xu finally had to go to the rooftop and rest for a while.

"Ahh

Just as he had finished stretching and yawning, he heard a shout from behind the rooftop door: "Uncle!

"Oh no!" Lao Xu immediately sat upright, picked up a book, and made a calm appearance.
