CHAPTER XIX

On the way back, Li Ke received a call from his uncle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Hey, uncle?" Although Li Ke's uncle is his guardian, he is now an adult, and when his parents had an accident before, he was 16 years old, and then he lived in the school and would not go home except for winter and summer vacations. Phone calls are also rare.

"Xiao Ke, how are you doing over there lately, is your work going well?" Li Ke is a little strange, he contacted his uncle when he found a job before, why did he suddenly care about him.

"It's okay, it's all good. You don't have to worry. ā€

"Ah, it's okay......" Li Ke felt as if his uncle wanted to say something, his uncle would never call him and just ask him if he was okay, did he want him to make up for his brother? His uncle's family has two sons, the eldest is already in the third year of high school, the second is still in the third year of junior high school, and the second child's grades, well, have a lot of room for improvement. Since his younger brother was in the third grade of primary school, Li Ke's winter and summer vacations have basically been detained at his uncle's house to give his younger brother make-up lessons.

"Uncle, is there something wrong?"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Two days ago, your aunt was hit by a car when she came back from work at night......"

"Hit by a car? Does it matter? "This kind of thing like a car accident is a big deal for anyone's house, and Li Ke immediately became nervous when he heard this. Lu Xiaotian, who was driving next to him, heard Li Ke say this, and also turned his head to look at Li Ke.

"It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal." Li Ke's uncle hurriedly said, "That's it, my leg and arm are broken, when will you have time to come back and have a look." ā€

"Oh, okay, I have a weekend, I'll go back on the 6th."

"Hmm...... What's that, you...... Work hard. Li Ke always felt that his uncle had something to say to him, Li Ke and his uncle were not good or bad to Li Ke, in fact, he felt sorry for his nephew, but Li Ke's uncle was a strict wife and was very afraid of guilt. And Li Ke's aunt Zhang Yuhua is not a bad person, but she is too shrewd. It can be seen from the fact that she was worried about her son's grades but did not find a tutor for her son to enroll in cram school, but she squeezed Li Ke every holiday.

"Uncle, do you have anything else to say? Just tell me straight, is it because the family needs money? I still have half a month to get paid. Li Ke thought about it, and it seemed that he had no other purpose except for getting some money for his family.

"No, no...... Your aunt, now I can only lie in bed, can't move, I have taken care of her for half a month, I haven't been working, the unit called me to urge me, I don't go to work anymore, your aunt is a temporary worker, I can only quit if something happens, I can't lose my job together, there are two children at home who go to school, you say, I have to go out to earn money to support my family, right? Li Ke listened to this, didn't he just ask for money?

As a result, before Li Ke could speak, Li Ke and his uncle continued: "Money, it's secondary, the main thing is that your two younger brothers are still in school, one is in junior high school and the other is in high school, your aunt can't manage them or herself now, I go to work again, they can't be left unattended...... You've graduated from college too...... That, big city, it's not easy to mix, if you don't come back, find a job, close to home, although you may earn a little less, but the pressure is small, and you keep home, everything is fine, and you can help take care of your aunt and brother......" When Li Ke heard this, he wanted to laugh angrily, this is to let himself go home as a nanny!

"Uncle, I just got a job here, and the contract has been signed, and it's really unrealistic for you to ask me to resign and go back." Li Ke put it bluntly, his school expenses are basically the savings left by his parents, and most of his living expenses since college are also the money from his part-time job. Even if he owes them only two years of high school accommodation and food, besides, when the court transferred the custody to their names, it also gave them a sum of alimony from their parents' savings. It's okay to let him give money to help his aunt see a doctor, but let him lose his entire future, it's impossible.

"Ah, you kid, uncle just told you about your aunt's plans, and he didn't say that he had to do this, just talk to you first, discuss and discuss together, are you in a hurry, we'll talk about it when you come back on Sunday!" I won't agree to go back on Sunday, but your family is very shrewd and let him give up his future and go back to be a free babysitter. The more Li Ke thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he didn't reply to his uncle.

His uncle probably sensed Li Ke's anger, and hung up the phone after saying that his aunt was uncomfortable.

Lu Xiaotian secretly glanced at Li Ke, he listened to the phone, coupled with the poison of domestic TV dramas over the years, he also guessed a rough idea, it is estimated that it is a family ethics drama. Due to the good habits that Lu Xiaotian has cultivated over the years, no matter how curious he is about this kind of thing, he will not ask anything, and the two of them just went back to the studio.

The next day, Li Ke resumed his normal work, just sat at the front desk, and said hello to Gao Baibai and Brother Wren, before the stool was hot, a little girl rushed into the studio in a hurry.

"Hello! Can you entrust anything here? The little girl finished speaking in one breath, because she ran in, and her anger did not calm down.

"Yes, please don't worry, if you have anything to entrust, you can talk slowly." Li Ke stood up and replied.

"Oh, I'm in a hurry, I'll take two hours off, it's 9 o'clock now, and I still have to go to work!"

"So, what do you need help with?"

"Help me fix a bracelet." As he spoke, he took out a small box from his bag and put it on the front desk.

Li Ke opened it and took a look, it was a jade bracelet, which had been broken into three sections.

"I went home last night to take the bus, and the bus braked suddenly, and I hit it, and it broke, and my mother gave me the bracelet! She wants to know, she can kill me! Li Ke looked at the bracelet, and the little girl was talking on the side.

"However, this kind of jade bracelet, we can only find a professional to help you connect it, and it is impossible to repair it to the point where you can't see it."

"Just pick it up! Anyway, when I confessed my mistake to my mother, she was able to pick me off a layer of skin. ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Then you leave a phone number, I am contacting you about something, do you have a time limit? ā€

"Can it be fixed today?!"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ It's hard to say......"

"But doesn't your advertisement say to fulfill some of the customer's needs?!" Li Ke was speechless, damn Lu Xiaotian, what kind of fart advertisement he wrote.

"I, as much as I can."

"Please! I came home late yesterday and wasn't found out by my mom! The longer it goes, the more dangerous it becomes! The little girl crawled pathetically on the counter and begged Li Ke to be soft-hearted.

"We, do your best, you go to work first, we will contact you if there is something."

"Ah, I'm going to leave quickly, I won't be able to catch up for a while!" After saying that, he ran out of the studio in a hurry.

"Xiaobai, you look downstairs, I'll go up to find the boss." Li Ke said hello to Gao Baibai, then turned around and went upstairs.

Standing at Lu Xiaotian's door, he struggled with whether to knock on the door or make a call, remembering the last time Lu Xiaotian mocked him for calling, he finally chose to knock on the door.

"Enter."

Lu Xiaotian sat behind his desk, typing on the computer non-stop, without looking up at Li Ke. Li Ke walked directly to the desk, put the box containing the bracelet on the bracelet, and told the little girl what she had explained.

"Oh, are you going or am I going?" Lu Xiaotian is still typing? Li Ke couldn't help but complain in his heart again, who is the boss! Shouldn't the boss decide this kind of thing? Negotiable?

"Forget it, I'll go. You don't know the place, and I guess a day is not enough time for you to find a place. Lu Xiaotian finally left the keyboard with both hands and looked at Li Ke.

"Where's the stuff?" Lu Xiaotian asked.

Li Ke helplessly pushed the box on the table.

Lu Xiaotian stood up, took the box, and walked out, explaining as he walked: "One will come to someone, called Li Yaxing." You ask him to wait for me in the reception room on the second floor. Lu Xiaotian walked as he spoke, and Li Ke followed while listening, but Lu Xiaotian suddenly stopped, and Li Ke was also scared, "Remember!" You must not give him a chance to speak, just bring it up, and then, wait for me. After speaking, he strode behind the desk, found a bunch of keys from the drawer, and handed them to Li Ke, "This key is for the reception room, directly lock him inside, don't let it out, and don't let Gao Baibai come up." Li Ke felt that his nerves were short-circuited again...... Is this a kidnapping?

Li Ke sat at the front desk, bored playing spider solitaire, thinking about what kind of person this Li Yaxing would be, Lu Xiaotian actually asked him to lock people up directly!

Could it be a ghost?! But can ghosts be locked? Is it also Lu Xiaotian's rival? Locked up and beaten? No, no, the last time there was water in the reception room, could it be that Lu Xiaotian raised a water ghost and let the water ghost eat his rival? Lu Xiaotian shouldn't be that bad, at most he should be scared......

Li Ke thought of noon so crankily, and went out to buy food in vain. The two of them hung up a suspension service sign outside the door and sat in the sofa area to eat.

Then a young man broke in.

As soon as the young man came in, he shouted, "Is that bastard Lu Xiaotian here?" ā€

This roar frightened Li Ke and Gao Baibai for a moment, and Li Ke immediately reacted, this person was probably that Li Yaxing.

It's really like a rival in love.

"Sir, who are you?" Li Ke swallowed the rice in his mouth, asked politely, and walked out of the sofa area, ready to pull him up.

"I, my name is Li Yaxing, and I'm looking for Lu Xiaotian."

"Oh, Mr. Li, our boss explained, he asked you to wait for him in the reception room, he went out to run errands, and he will be back soon."

"Let's not talk about this yet, what about your dinner?" Li Yaxing looked at the sofa area, stunned Gao Baibai, and Li Ke and Gao Baibai on the table for lunch.

"......" this person, should he be eating, right?

"What, how many?" Li Ke was thinking about it, and Li Yaxing's words had already been spoken.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Otherwise, I'll go out and buy some more. Gao Baibai was a little girl, not too embarrassed to see this situation, and took the initiative to stand up.

"Thank you then! I want to eat dumplings, leek and egg filling, vegetarian three fresh is also fine. After that, he sat on the sofa and waited.

This person is so thick-skinned...... Gao Baibai was about to turn around and go out after hearing this, but Li Ke hurriedly stopped her and said that he was going.

When Li Ke came back after buying, he saw Gao Baibai listening to Li Yaxing talking endlessly.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ It's definitely not simple, this matter has been going on for seven days in a row, otherwise the above wouldn't have paid so much attention to coming to us......" Li Yaxing was still saying something, and Li Ke didn't understand, so he said: "Mr. Li, the dumplings you want, leek eggs." ā€

"Hey, thank you, you are also Lu Xiaotian's employee?" As he spoke, he took the dumplings.

After that, Li Ke knew what he was talking to Gao Baibai, this person called Li Yaxing, his mouth, did not stop, in addition to eating, he also said.

The story is probably that there is a disappearance on the edge of the city. It's been 7 days in a row, and there has been no contact between the missing people, and it seems that it is related to ghosts.

Listening to Li Yaxing's more and more talk, the more he deviated from reality, although Li Ke had just experienced a supernatural event and knew that Lu Xiaotian's real business was related to these, but Gao Baibai was just an ordinary little girl! He didn't want to know any of these things himself! He wanted to be an ordinary person and stay away from these strange things.

But Li Yaxing's words can't stop at all! Li Ke didn't know how to interrupt him, Li Yaxing had already talked about Taoist charms from the disappearance......

"Hey, what's your name?" Li Yaxing suddenly asked Li Ke. Li Ke was speechless, you have been eating here for so long before you remembered to ask for your name.

"Li Ke."

"Li Ke, for the sake of you inviting me to eat dumplings, I remind you of something." Li Ke complained silently in his heart, I didn't invite you to eat dumplings, and when Lu Xiaotian comes back, I will ask him for reimbursement. "You've had something happen to you lately, you have a lot of yin qi on you." As soon as these words came out, Li Ke chuckled in his heart, and Gao Baibai also looked at Li Ke in surprise.

"Hehe, you're laughing...... I'm an ordinary person who goes to work every day, what can I do? Li Ke laughed a few times. This person, don't you know convergence? These things are all nonsense outside, are you really not afraid of being locked up in a mental hospital?

"I'm serious!" Li Yaxing swallowed the last dumpling, burped, and looked at Li Ke with a serious face.

"You're in danger right now, it's easy to hit ghosts!" Damn it! Why didn't he listen to Lu Xiaotian! He should have locked this man up in the reception room right away!

"But you're lucky to have met me! This great immortal will give you a talisman, and it is absolutely good to burn and drink this talisman gray water! "Is this man a charlatan? I've watched too many TV series! I also chose this kind of superstitious NPC, what are you doing in such a hurry as cannon fodder!

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ No need, since you're done eating, I'll take you up to wait for our boss. After speaking, he got up and prepared to get Li Yaxing up.

"Don't! I'm locked up in the Taoist temple every day, and I'm not allowed to talk casually to ordinary people once I come down, and I'm finally talking to you now, so I don't go up and wait for him, he asked me to wait last time, and I waited for three days! ā€@#@%ļæ„#…… Li Ke scolded his mother in his heart, if you don't let you say anything to ordinary people, don't say anything to me! He's an ordinary man!

"Sir, we are very embarrassed by you like this, we are just part-time workers, why don't you go up first, call the boss, and say?" Li Yaxing squeezed his face into a ball, looking really aggrieved. Then reluctantly followed Li Ke upstairs to the reception room.

"You can call our boss here first." After speaking, Li Ke withdrew from the reception room and decisively locked the reception room.

Originally, he couldn't bear to do this, but now, he only regrets that he didn't do it earlier.
