Chapter 407: Old Lady Luo Still Needs to be Healed by the High Priest, and She Remains Silent
Li Rong was at work. Luo Xinxin washed up and took a dozen big meat buns. Zhi Honglan followed the northern sister-in-law in the staff building and learned how to make steamed buns and even pulled noodles. Her skills were quite good.
The meat buns were made yesterday. They were stuffed with radish and pork. The skin was thin and the filling was rich. The oil soaked the bun skin and it was very delicious. Luo Xinxin brought a lot of them to give to the high priest and second uncle.
"I'm going to the station to pick someone up, Sister Zhi, for lunch, let's have rice and stewed mutton. Make more, we have guests coming!"
"knew."
Zhi Honglan nodded, took out a leg of lamb from the big vat outside, and stewed it for lunch.
Luo Xinxin hurried Xiaohong into the city. An hour later, she arrived at the exit of the train station and saw the high priest hunched over from afar, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, shivering with cold.
The high priest was almost frozen to death. He put on all the thick clothes he had, but his cotton-padded jacket had been worn for several years and the cotton had become hard and could not withstand the cold at all. The cold wind from the northwest was like a knife, and it was very painful when it blew on his body.
"Why haven't you come yet? If you don't come soon, you'll freeze to death..."
The high priest ran in place with his head down. His cotton shoes were useless and his feet were cold.
A whiff of meaty aroma wafted over, and he took a few deep breaths. His mouth was full of saliva, and his stomach became even hungrier. Xinxin hadn't lied to him, the meat in the northwest was really delicious, but he had no money and couldn't even afford the broth.
Luo Xinxin kept shaking her head as she watched him. He looked so pitiful that if someone didn’t know him, they would think he was a beggar!
She took the buns, still warm, from the blanket in the car and walked towards the high priest.
The high priest was still running with his head down and didn't notice someone coming behind him, but he smelled a fragrance and twitched his nose a few times. It smelled so good, it was meat buns!
Who was the one who chopped off his head? I wonder how greedy he would be if I ate a meat bun next to him!
The high priest turned around suddenly, wanting to shamelessly ask for some food, and then he saw Luo Xinxin, who was smiling and holding a cloth bag in her hand. The fragrance wafted out of the bag.
"Finally you're here! I was freezing to death!"
The high priest stared at the bag intently. Based on his forty or fifty years of life experience, he judged that there must be something delicious in the bag.
"Where's my second uncle? Did he go to the bathroom?"
Luo Xinxin took out a meat bun from the bag and stuffed it into the hands of the high priest.
"It's so delicious without him. I'm starving to death."
The high priest gobbled up the meat bun like a wolf that had been hungry for three days. The meat bun, which was bigger than Big Hair's face, was finished in just a few bites.
Luo Xinxin simply stuffed the bag into his hands. The high priest held the bag and ate while walking. After getting on the carriage, he wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and continued eating.
The big meat buns are so delicious that he can eat a hundred of them!
The high priest was so immersed in eating the meat buns that he completely forgot about his wandering apprentice. It was not until his stomach was about 70% full that he remembered Li Long.
"Aaron and I came here together, but we separated halfway."
The high priest spoke in a light tone. Luo Xinxin, who was driving the coach, heard it but his brain didn't react yet. He continued to drive calmly.
After walking a few dozen meters, she finally came to her senses and uttered a sharp cry: "Uncle Long came with you? You two got separated?"
"Um……"
The high priest briefly recounted the process of separating him from his apprentice.
"At which station did you separate? Why didn't you jump off the train and join Uncle Long? Don't eat anymore. You still have room for buns?"
Luo Xinxin questioned repeatedly, and when she saw that the high priest was still eating buns, she was so angry that she snatched the buns away. She had never seen such an inattentive master. He even lost his child, but still had the mind to eat buns.
"Why are you so anxious? A-Long has money on him. I've given him my household registration and letter of introduction. He'll find this place sooner or later. Why should I be unable to eat?"
The high priest snatched the bun away in annoyance and continued to eat it, thinking that Luo Xinxin was making a fuss out of nothing.
His apprentice is not an ordinary person, so it’s not likely that something will happen to him. The ones who should be worried about are the bad guys!
"Tell me the station where you lost Uncle Long, and I'll send someone to look for him!"
Luo Xinxin was still very worried. No matter how mature Li Long was, he was only a ten-year-old boy, and he had never been so far away. What if he ran into a treacherous and vicious kidnapper...
Li Long has a handsome face, and kidnappers like handsome boys like him the most. She didn't dare to think about it anymore and had to contact the police at the station to see if she could get any news about the child.
"Let me think, what was it called?"
The high priest thought for a long time but couldn't remember the name of the station. He glanced at the station sign when he got on the train, but he really couldn't remember it for a while.
"Don't worry, take your time to think about it!"
Luo Xinxin didn't dare to urge him, so she could only wait patiently for this unreliable old man to remember.
After about ten minutes, the high priest finally remembered, "It's called Longyang Station (fictitious), that's the name."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, this is the station."
The high priest was very sure. When he saw the bus stop sign, he thought that his name and his apprentice's name had the same character, which was quite a coincidence.
Now it seems that Longyang Station and the apprentice are really destined to be together!
"Don't worry, Aaron has a lot of money on him, he will definitely not starve to death!" The high priest comforted her.
"What if we run into bad guys? Uncle Long is good-looking, and bad guys like to target pretty kids."
Luo Xinxin retorted, how could she not be anxious, she didn't even know where Li Long was wandering now.
The high priest sneered, "Those people who dared to attack Aaron are blind!"
His apprentice is no pushover!
Seeing that he was so confident, Luo Xinxin felt a little relieved. She soon arrived at the military area and went to register with the high priest first.
The high priest glanced at the soldiers on guard with guns and ammunition, and was so scared that he shrank his neck and dared not look around.
After arriving at the family building, Luo Xinxin asked Zhi Honglan to boil some water, and then asked Luo Weian to take out some clothes for the high priest to change into.
Old Lady Luo covered her nose tightly, looked at the high priest with disdain, and complained in a low voice: "It stinks like a beggar."
Luo Weian glanced at her and wanted to remind her that this beggar was a high priest with superb poison skills, but he suddenly had a new idea and was too lazy to remind her.
He even whispered to the high priest: "My wife is ignorant and actually said you looked like a beggar. I apologize on her behalf."
Old Mrs. Luo looked at him in disbelief and said angrily, "How can you be a traitor?"
And she was not wrong. This smelly old man was dirtier than a beggar. She could smell his stench from three meters away. She didn't dare get too close to him for fear of catching lice.
"Shut up, you have no manners at all!"
Luo Weian scolded him and then smiled at the high priest.
The high priest snorted coldly, looked Old Lady Luo up and down, and said sharply, "Is this old woman your wife? You have poor taste. This woman looks like a loser, and the children she gives birth to will all be unpromising. If an emperor marries her, he will ruin his country. If a rich man marries her, he will ruin his fortune. Whoever marries her will be unlucky!"
These words were like a thunderclap, making Luo Weian regret deeply. No wonder his Luo family was getting more and more unlucky. It turned out to be this stupid woman's fault!
"Old man, he's talking nonsense, don't believe him!"
Old Mrs. Luo was furious. How could she be so capable as to ruin the empire and squander the family fortune? She just liked to eat bananas.
But Luo Weian's face was gloomy, and it was obvious that he believed it. Old Mrs. Luo rushed over anxiously, not afraid of lice anymore. She had to have a good argument with this beggar and make him change his words!
The high priest ran away, "I believe a good man doesn't fight with a woman. You are a spendthrift old woman. Brother Luo will be unlucky if he marries you. Oh my, you stinky woman actually hit me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Furious, Old Lady Luo picked up a pair of tongs from the wall and threw them at the high priest, hitting his calf and causing quite a bit of pain.
"Smash you to death, you old bastard! I'll make you spew dung and throw dirty water on me..."
Old Lady Luo picked up the tongs and was about to hit her again. The high priest, in a hurry, took something out of his arms and threw it out. A red rope flew out and just happened to hang around Old Lady Luo's neck.
Xiaohong habitually looked for a source of heat, crawled in through the collar, nestled against Old Lady Luo's chest, curled up comfortably, and fell asleep.
Old Mrs. Luo only felt a cold and slippery thing swimming around her heart, and then it stopped moving. Her whole body was frozen, her face was pale, her throat could not make any sound, and her legs could not be lifted, as if she was dead.
