Brother Xu has also stayed in the mountains for many days. He is naturally anxious because he has no way of getting any news from the outside world. All he can do now is wait.
But before long, Brother Xu couldn't hold back his inner anxiety anymore and asked the villagers nearby: "Do you have a cell phone that I can borrow to make a call?"
The villager nodded and handed the phone over. Brother Xu recalled his employer's phone number, but the call never went through. He couldn't help but wave the phone in the air.
The villagers saw all of this and quickly stood up, explaining softly, "We're up in the mountains, so there might not be a phone signal."
As soon as these words came out, Brother Xu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. He thought about it and felt that he had stayed in the mountains for too long.
I still don't know what the situation is like outside: "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I'm almost recovered now, so I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay." The villagers answered very readily.
Brother Xu had lived in the mountains for so many days, and he felt that he had caused a lot of trouble to the villagers. Before leaving, he took advantage of the villagers' inattention and set aside some of his remaining savings and put them under the corner of the table.
The villagers also packed some food for Brother Xu, thinking that he could have something to eat on the road. The road on the mountain was very steep, and it was very difficult for Brother Xu to walk.
But Brother Xu had only taken two steps when he heard some footsteps behind him, which were a bit far away from him. Brother Xu thought it was a coincidence, so he didn't take it seriously and continued walking forward.
But I could hear the footsteps behind me were synchronized with my own. When I stopped, he stopped, and when I walked, he walked too.
"Who's behind?" Brother Xu couldn't help but shout, but no one answered.
Logically speaking, this is the most inappropriate thing to do. If that person really wants to hurt me, this is undoubtedly the best place, but the person behind me didn't do anything at all.
He couldn't help scratching his head and thinking for a while. He realized that the person behind him didn't really want to hurt him, so he didn't ask any more questions and continued on his way with his head down, but he was still cautious.
After waiting for a while, Brother Xu found a phone booth and asked the owner: "How much does it cost to make a phone call?"
"50 cents."
He took out a few coins from his pocket and threw them on the boss's desk, then picked up the phone and dialed Xu Leyan's cell phone number. The only contact he could think of was Xu Leyan.
Xu Leyan was waiting at home anxiously. When she heard the ring, no matter who was calling, she answered the phone directly and put it to her ear: "Hello?"
"Le Yan, it's me." Brother Xu said.
Hearing the sound of the phone, Xu Leyan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Time seemed to stand still. It had been a long time since she heard someone call her name like this. She asked cautiously, "Is it Brother Xu?"
Brother Xu's face was filled with smiles. He felt that Xu Leyan still had feelings for him, otherwise she wouldn't have known who he was as soon as she heard his voice.
"It's me, it's me!"
Suddenly, Xu Leyan's eyes turned red and tears flowed uncontrollably. She had been looking for Brother Xu these days, but she didn't expect that Brother Xu would call her himself.
Xu Leyan held the phone in both hands, trying to find some clues: "How are you now? Are you doing well?"
"Le Yan, don't worry, I'm fine. I didn't call you because I was in the mountains some time ago and had no signal." Brother Xu said slowly.
But the more Xu Leyan listened, the more she felt it was unbelievable. She felt a little strange: "Weren't you kidnapped?"
Brother Xu felt even more puzzled as he listened to these words: "What kidnapping?"
Xu Leyan told Brother Xu the whole story of the past few days. Brother Xu pressed his temples to express his confusion.
"I'm living well here, how could I be kidnapped? It's just that I lost my cell phone at that time." Brother Xu explained.
Now the two of them had finally made sense of it. The truth was revealed, and Xu Leyan finally felt relieved. She patted her chest gently, muttering to herself, "It's good that I'm okay, it's good that I'm okay."
The two of them talked about what had happened in the past few days. Xu Leyan listened calmly to Brother Xu's description of his life in the mountains these days.
No matter what, it seems that everyone is fine now, so everyone is happy.
"By the way, Qingming and Xiujun should be going to the west to look for you today. You can go there and meet them." Xu Leyan reminded.
Brother Xu also agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Brother Xu sat on the stool with his hands crossed. He thought carefully. After all, the West was so big, and it would not be easy for him to find the two people.
Brother Xu finally decided to try his luck at their mine, hoping he could meet them there.
Li Xiujun and Gu Qingming stayed in the mine for a while, and then they thought of going to find Brother Xu, so they took a car down the mountain.
After getting in the car, Gu Qingming noticed that the driver in front had been observing them through the rearview mirror.
He couldn't help but ask: "Driver, have you driven here before? Why do you look so strange?"
The driver curled his lips and replied calmly, "I've been running here a long time. You two must be new here, so you haven't seen me before."
To Gu Qingming, it sounded like a joke. He had been in the mine for quite some time.
"Master, since we got in the car, you didn't seem to ask us where we were going, right?" Gu Qingming asked.
As expected, when this question was asked, the driver looked around, not knowing how to respond. Li Xiujun also noticed something was wrong and spoke directly.
"Forget it, Master. Just drop us off at the intersection ahead and we can walk on our own."
He didn't say a word the whole time, he just stepped on the accelerator to speed up the car. Gu Qingming saw that this was not a solution.
He glanced in Li Xiujun's direction, and they both understood what each other meant.
In a split second, Gu Qingming grabbed the driver's neck with one hand and held it tightly, leaving him with no strength at all.
Then the driver's face turned red and he slapped Gu Qingming's arm with his hand but to no avail.
Li Xiujun also quickly stood up from the seat and held the driver's legs.
