Chapter 106: No Mobile Phone

  Reached out, touched the pocket, searched all over the body, but still couldn't find the phone. Did I leave it at home?

  Lan Ya patted her forehead, forgetting what was wrong, and actually forgot to bring her phone, so she had no choice but to walk back and forth in frustration.

  Finally returned to the attic, but did not see Mu Chen's figure. Lan Ya suddenly became a little anxious, all the food had been distributed, some people ate and burped, from time to time someone showed a smile to Lan Ya, expressing gratitude.

  But Lan Ya didn't have much mood, if Dad and Mom hadn't seen her, she would definitely be very anxious.

  Lanya is anxious over here, and Mochen and Lanya's parents are also puzzled.

  "The phone isn't being answered." Mu Chen felt a bit helpless. This wasn't some remote mountain or wilderness, and his cell phone had signal, so it should be able to get through. Instead, it was just going unanswered. Had Lan Ya met with an accident, or had she put her phone on silent mode without hearing it ring?

  Mochen made several phone calls in a row, but Lan Ya didn't answer any of them, and he was getting anxious.

  She shouldn't have let Lanya leave first, but why didn't she answer the phone?

  "Uncle Lan, Auntie Lan, no one is answering her phone." Mu Chen politely addressed the two elders, furrowing his brow and looking around with concern.

  "Yaya, why isn't she answering the phone? Has something happened?" Gu You was getting anxious. This was a poverty-stricken area, there were no cars or public phones around, and who knows if there were any bad people lurking about.

  Gu Yurou's doubts were also what Mu Chenqun feared, but what would happen to Lan Ya? Here in the desolate wilderness, there was only an old, dilapidated attic, not even a decent place to live.

  Mu Chen glanced at the two elders before saying "I'll go take a look."

  Mo Chen finished speaking and then picked up his pace to head back in the direction he came from.

  All the way, the road was bumpy and uneven. Mu Chen felt a bit strange, as if the road wasn't like this when he came back. The weeds on both sides were still lush and unchanged, but just now the road was flat, and now it's bumpy.

  Mu Chen turned back and couldn't see the figures of Lan Ya's parents. Walking forward, he could see that tall, old, dilapidated loft.

  Although there were many doubts in her mind, she could only suppress them and wait until she found Lan Ya again.

  Lan Ya was still in her original place, she thought she would wait for someone to come and find her, surely they would.

  An old woman sat beside me, her face covered with wrinkles like a worn-out paper.

  The brown corners of her mouth still had the grains of food she had just eaten, and Lanya couldn't help but smile, at least she was still healthy enough to eat and drink.

  Lan Ya took a bottle of water from beside her and handed it to her, telling her to drink slowly.

  "You're a good girl," said the old woman in a slow and hoarse voice, filled with the vicissitudes of life.

  It didn't sound very friendly, but Lan Ya felt a warmth in her heart. The feeling of helping others seemed pretty good.

  "Old lady, aren't you cold?" Looking at her quilt which was only one layer thick and her few clothes, Lan Ya could only ask this.

  The old woman pointed to her ears and shook her head, indicating that she couldn't hear anymore. She then said, "This old body of mine is already useless, can't hear a thing, but being able to see these people for a bit longer is good enough, no more extravagant hopes."

  The old woman looked at Lan Ya seriously, but her turbid eyes couldn't see Lan Ya clearly.

  Lan Ya didn't say a word and knew that the other person's ears weren't working properly, so she didn't speak either.

  "Although I have enjoyed more than half of my life, in the end, I can only spend my twilight years here." The old woman sighed again.

  Lan Ya frowned, listening to this old woman's words felt strange, making her think that this old woman was not simple at all?

  "Little girl, you're puzzled, aren't you? Actually, I was quite glorious when I was young, but now I can only sleep in the wind and eat in the rain. It's all because some things have a beautiful appearance, but neglect their original appearance. I saw that you came with a boy?"

  Let me see, have you guys been playing with your phones during class? The teacher is behind you.
