Chapter 18 18. Contact family members
The afternoon passed quickly.

The spring sun would set after six o'clock. Wen Xia gave Xiao Huihui a bath. One person and two pets were like husbands and wives, waiting quietly at the door for the return of their supplies.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Wow woo woo~"

Wen Xia's eyes lit up, she glanced at the sky, confirmed that the sun was still on the mountainside, and waited patiently.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai were one step ahead, with a mobile phone in one mouth and a plastic bag in the other, and their little bodies ran as fast as flying through the woods.

"Xiao Huang Xiaobai! Well done!"

After praising the two puppies, she couldn't wait to turn on the phone and looked at the fully charged battery in the upper right corner, feeling full of security.

Wu Tianyi, who was carrying a large snakeskin bag up the mountain, just showed up when he saw a young-looking woman holding a mobile phone with a smile on her face.

Is this a 'savage'?He is so good-looking, no wonder he meets a trafficker.

He thought about what was going on in the village and decided to keep the matter about a person on the mountain a secret for the time being.

"I'm back." He placed the bag heavily on the ground and rubbed his sore wrist.

This bag weighs hundreds of kilograms, and it is still very hard to carry it on your shoulders and climb for so long.

Wu Tianyi took a breath and was suddenly stunned.

"This, is this a wolf?" He glanced at the big shadow next to him again, it was a big ox!

The trafficked person actually raised a big scalper?What a strange combination.

Before he could think about it, Wen Xia picked up the phone with a smile and said calmly: "No, this is the husky I picked up. Look at how docile he is, how could he be a wolf? Thank you for your help. I brought the phone with me. Well, I’ll transfer the money to you right now.”

She had just confirmed that the mobile phone network was working, which also meant that she could control the money in her bank card.

A few green leaves were exposed from the snakeskin bag on the ground. Dahuang took the initiative to hold the edge of the bag and carried the things in.

Wu Tianyi always felt that these animals were just like humans, not at all like the ordinary animals in the village. Even the cows were not as sensible as the big ox in front of him.

"Bring it with you. There are still three bags that haven't been brought up from the bottom of the mountain. I'll help you carry them up and you can give them to me. I'll settle the bill with you by the way."

"I will move the things down the mountain later. Don't delay your dinner. Go back early. I want to trouble you tomorrow."

Wu Tianyi hesitated and looked at the slim woman in front of him, "Can you move it? Those bags are quite heavy."

As long as the space ball is there, no matter how heavy it is, it can be moved back.

Wen Xia smiled and said, "Why not? I have been eating branroot vegetables for more than a month in the mountains, and I still have some strength. Xiao Huang remembers the way and will show me the way later."

Wu Tianyi then thought about it, and it was the same.

Moreover, if he returns early, it will also alleviate the villagers' suspicion of him.

Thinking of the gossiping nature of the people in the village, he disguised himself when he brought the things back today and asked good brothers from other villages to help him transport them via a small road to ensure that at least no one would find out what he was buying.

"Okay, then be careful, there may be something on the mountain at night. Let me calculate the money spent today... plus the fare, it cost more than 100 yuan in total, leaving 960 yuan and [-] cents, and there is still a balance. So you don’t have to transfer money to me.”

After saying that, his expression was a little uneasy.

I am afraid that the other party will think that I am taking a kickback from her.

Wu Tianyi is very simple, everything is written on his face.

Although Wen Xia has only been working in the world for a year, he is more mature and knowledgeable than the young dropouts trapped in the mountains.

Wen Xia understands the characteristics of honest people very well, because her father is also such a person.

What's more, she has no way to refuse the other party's kickback.

Thinking that the other party could be trusted, she smiled gently at him, "Okay, I'll keep this money for you to buy things for me tomorrow, and I'll transfer the commission to you separately. Could you please help me go to town tomorrow morning?" If you have any new varieties of saplings, buy them for me, as well as rice, I need them urgently.

By the way, I will transfer another 3000 yuan to you, help me withdraw 2000 yuan in cash, and keep the rest for later use. "

After saying that, he transferred 300 yuan.

Wu Tianyi was visibly excited. He didn't expect that the other party would actually do what he said. This feeling of making money was particularly good, and he was more interested in tomorrow's task.

but.

There was a hint of apology on his face, "I can't sell the rice at home to you, I can only go to the town to buy it for you."

"...Why?" Wen Xia didn't understand why he chose to stay far away.

People in the village farmed and had more old rice than they could eat, so it wouldn't be a problem for her to buy some.

Wu Tianyi scratched his head, "People in the village are all long-tongued, and they are... not very nice. I think it's better to keep your matter a secret for now."

Wen Xia was stunned.

His mind flashed back to those weird rural TV dramas he had watched when he was a child. He was silent for a long time and said, "...I know, you can come as conveniently as you want. It's still a commission of 300 yuan. After you buy the things, send them to the foot of the mountain. I'll ask Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai to follow you." They can all find their way, and then I go down and move things.”

Wu Tianyi's mood improved and he nodded sheepishly, "Well, I'm so sorry. I should have sent it to your home after I gave you so much money."

"You're welcome. Didn't you say that I can't be exposed when I live here? Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai tipped off the news, so the risk is minimal. Bring me more things back, and I will thank you even more." Wen Xia said with a smile, "It's getting late. , go back quickly, by the way, don’t forget to buy me farm tools, thank you!”

The sun on the horizon is about to disappear, and the beasts on Wuming Peak are already ready to move.

If you don't leave, you'll scare people.

When their backs disappeared from sight, Xiao Huihui immediately opened the energy shield.

Under the nameless peak, the crowded beasts looked at the mountains of food below with red eyes and bloodthirsty...

As soon as Wu Tianyi's front foot came down the mountain, Xiao Huang ran to the place where the bag was placed and put the things into the space ball, running very fast with his short legs.

"Woof woof woof!" It waggled its tail excitedly, and there were a few more big bags on the ground in an instant.

"Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang, you go take a bath first, I'll take stock of the things, and let's eat roasted sweet potatoes and barbecue together tonight!"

Wu Tianyi brought the sweet potatoes in the morning. With the salt and seasonings, tonight's barbecue will definitely be particularly delicious.

She is confident.The four little ones also howled happily, and Little Huihui even ran outside the back mountain, provoking wildly at the beasts.

Everyone was doing their own thing. Wen Xia added a piece of wood and the fire burned brighter. Then she took out her mobile phone, opened the address book, and dialed her parents' number.

The call was connected very quickly, but there was no sound.

"? Mom and Dad? Are you there?" Nothing will happen!
Then I heard a familiar voice. Her mother Liu Cuixiang's voice was choked with sobs and she seemed to be crying, "...Xia Xia... you, you are really still alive. It's all because of my mother. I shouldn't have let you go out to herd cattle..." …It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been abducted by bad guys and made us think you fell off the cliff…”

Wen Xia was confused when she heard this, but she didn't care about being abducted by bad guys, mistakenly thinking she fell off a cliff, etc. She quickly comforted her sentimental mother, "Mom, don't be sad. I don't blame you for this. I am a 25-year-old adult." How can anyone blame you for what they do? This time I was careless, don’t worry, I am a good person, and Dahuang is here too! Come on, Dahuang, call one!"

Liu Cuixiang and Wen Chengguo were stunned when they heard a cow cry "moo", followed by several more rapid cow calls, as if they were crying.

Dahuang is smart and seems to know the word home. Wen Xia wet her eyes and looked at Dahuang's tears. She burst out laughing and said, "Mom, Dahuang cried too. Look at you, emotions are contagious. Don't be sad." , it’s not good for your health. Dahuang, don’t cry either.”

"Moo~" Da Huang sat down on the ground with his stocky body.

Wen Chengguo listened to the voice over there with mixed emotions, "Xia Xia, what's going on? Even if you were abducted, why is Dahuang still here?"

It is not convenient to move a cow as big as rhubarb, and it is likely to increase the risk of exposure. How can those evil people be so kind?
There were so many doubts here that he couldn't figure it out.

Wen Xia instantly understood what her father meant and chuckled: "Dad, what are you thinking? There are no bad guys! Dahuang and I did fall down, it was just an accident..." She hesitated, thinking of the possible risks, and finally Without revealing too much, "Anyway, Dahuang and I are very safe now, and I have found someone to help me buy food. There is no problem living alone."

Wen Chengguo frowned and suddenly asked: "Living alone? Are you not coming back?" He tensed up, believing that a bad guy had kidnapped his daughter.

"...For the time being, I shouldn't be able to come back..." Wen Xia, who was trapped in the Nameless Realm and couldn't leave even a step, was quite helpless. "I have no power here and no mobile phone charger. I can't contact you at any time. You can find it." Don’t be anxious if you don’t meet me, and don’t contact the stranger this morning, as it can easily lead to trouble.”

She was hesitant to speak, but to the ears of Wen Chengguo and his wife, it was an excuse that she was forced to stay and could not leave.

Wen Chengguo wanted to continue asking.

I heard a wolf howling, getting closer and closer.

"Aww~owwow~"

"Xia Xia, there's a wolf over there! Hurry! Hide!" Liu Cuixiang said anxiously, "Send us your location! We'll pick you up right now, woo woo, Cheng Guo, drive quickly, we'll set off right away... …”

Wen Xia, who was on the phone, glanced at the confused little Huihui and said, "Mom and Dad, wait a minute, I'll start a video chat with you!"

It was her who was confused. She could clearly explain it with an online video, and it was unfounded. No wonder her parents thought more and more and got it wrong.

She hung up the phone and opened the chat software she hadn't used in a long time. There were various messages from her chat friends, and they also wished her a good journey.

It seems her death is a foregone conclusion?
Video calls were also quickly connected.

Wen Xia looked at the two dark pictures on the other side of the screen. Her parents' heads were squeezed into one shot, and only half of their tired faces were exposed.

Behind them, there seemed to be a vehicle set. As long as she spoke, she could drive off immediately.

A trace of guilt flashed through her heart, and she pointed the camera at her face, "Mom and Dad, don't come. I'm fine. Look. Well, I don't have a place to take a bath here, so I look a little dirty. I just asked a kind person to help me." I bought toiletries and I’ll take a good bath tomorrow.”

Liu Cuixiang covered her mouth, and the corners of her eyes became wet again, "Chengguo, Xia Xia has lived a very miserable life, just like the savages in the mountains. Xia Xia, please send us your address. There is no comfortable home in the mountains..."

"...Mom, I have a last resort. Even if I send you the address, we may not be able to meet you... Let me show you where I live." Looking at her parents' disappointed expressions, Wen Xia changed the subject. Turn the camera over and point it at the fire, "We are warming up in the house, little Huihui, saying hello to uncle and aunt~"

A wolf head suddenly appeared next to the fire, its two slanted eyes flashing with a faint cold light, and its sharp fangs carrying a wild attack power.

Liu Cuixiang screamed and saw the wolf head licking the corners of its mouth, sticking out its tongue and breathing out like a husky.

"...Xiao Huihui?" Wen Chengguo stuttered.

"Ouch?" Xiao Huihui raised his head in response.

Wen Xia's voice came from outside the camera, "Mom and Dad, this is one of my little friends, Xiao Huihui. He has helped me a lot. Even though he is a wolf, he actually has a very cute personality~ Xiao Huihui, go Bring me the sweet potatoes.”

The camera followed all the way, and the fire gradually dimmed, revealing the yard illuminated by the faint blue moonlight. Little Huihui took a step forward with his long legs and ran back with a plastic bag in his mouth.

"Ow~"

"I know, I'll give you two."

Wen Chengguo listened to his daughter's voice, then put a hand on the wolf's head and rubbed it, and then placed the sweet potato next to the burning firewood pile.

He breathed a sigh of relief and heard the sound of a dog barking from outside the camera again.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Xiao Huang Xiaobai, come quickly!"

In the camera, two puppies, one yellow and one white, ran in. When they walked under the firelight, they discovered that their fur was still wet.

"You adopted this?" Wen Chengguo couldn't figure out how his daughter could still keep pets after being trafficked. Is the difficulty she said true?

"That's right. By the way, let me show you the rhubarb! I just took a shower today, it's very beautiful~"

……

Wen Xia chatted with her parents for a long time, and finally convinced them that she was doing well and stopped bringing up the idea of ​​coming to see her.

She had already used the navigation software to check it out. In fact, it only took more than a day to get there by plane, but after thinking about it, she still refused to let her parents come over.

Mainly because her life was so miserable.

She couldn't turn a blind eye to the wild beasts on the Nameless Peak.

The energy shield can only protect against ordinary star beasts. When scary things come out of the mountains, she is afraid that she will not be able to save people in time.

What's more, she can't get out of the Nameless Realm, which only adds to her troubles...

The sun had just set when Wu Tianyi returned.

With a smile on his face, he was happily thinking about what he would buy tomorrow so that he could be worthy of the 300 yuan he was given.

"Hey, you're smiling so happily, you're back so late, are you playing with friends outside?" A rough voice sounded, Wu Tianyi's smile faded, he looked up and saw Aunt Wu's disk-like face, the fat smile on her face Stacked together, eyes flashing.

"Aunt Wu, what are you doing? I'm not old enough to get married."

Aunt Wu is the daughter-in-law of the village chief. With the authority of the village chief, she is extremely prestigious in the village. Anyone who talks to her must smile.
