"Dad! Mom! Where are you?!" Bai Lingmiao, who was in tears, kept searching throughout Niuxin Village.
Behind her was Li Huowang. He followed her to search, even though he could see that there was really no one else in the village except them.
At this moment, Lu Zhuangyuan, who was a little cautious, came over with a smile.
"What's going on?" Li Huowang, who was frowning, asked Lu Zhuangyuan, who was one step ahead.
Lu Zhuangyuan looked innocent. "Little Taoist Master, how did I know this? When I first came here, there was no one in the whole village."
"I was surprised before. I thought I had mistaken the location, so I searched the surrounding areas for several miles, but I searched all over Niuxin Mountain before I saw this place."
Hearing this, Li Huowang stopped talking, took a deep breath, raised his feet and followed Bai Lingmiao in the distance.
Bai Lingmiao kept searching throughout the village, but still found nothing.
When Li Huowang saw Bai Lingmiao, who was sweating profusely with anxiety, and then turned to the end of the village and started looking from the first house again, he rushed over, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and held her in his arms.
ri.
At this moment, Bai Lingmiao couldn't bear it any longer and leaned on Li Huowang's shoulder and cried loudly, "Brother Li, my family is gone, my family is gone!!"
Such long-term expectations completely came to nothing at this moment. Li Huowang knew what this felt like, and he could relate to it.
"Don't cry, maybe they just left temporarily, and something bad may happen to them. Think about it for the better."
Lu Zhuangyuan on the side also comforted him and said: "Miss Bai, what the little Taoist said is right. Maybe they have fled like us. When they come back, they can meet you."
Seeing this, other people also gathered around and comforted Bai Lingmiao.
However, these frivolous words did not comfort Bai Lingmiao much. She was not a fool. The whole village was gone. This matter was not a big deal at first sight.
Bai Lingmiao's crying diluted the joy of reunion and cast a shadow over the village, so that no one spoke during dinner.
After dinner, Li Huowang walked around the entire village under the moonlight. He was not looking for people, but for traces.
It is impossible for the entire village to suddenly disappear. Something must have happened. Even if it was eaten by evil spirits and deceived by Zuowangdao, it would definitely leave traces.
"Xiao Daoye, actually, I told Miss Bai that her family went to escape the disaster, which actually made her feel better. From my perspective, they probably didn't escape the disaster."
"How can anyone avoid a disaster without locking the door? Moreover, when we first entered the village, the pigs in the backyard were so hungry that they looked like pigs." Lu Zhuangyuan followed Li Huowang and talked nonchalantly.
Li Huowang squatted down and looked at the texture of the stones on the ground, "When you first came in, was this village in chaos?"
"No, it's not messy at all. The clothes are still hanging outside. The cows and dogs are all fine, but the people are missing."
"And I went to look through it, and there was no shortage of clothes in the wooden cabinets in every house. I knew at a glance that I didn't go far away."
Li Huowang's eyes searched for details and possible dangers inch by inch.
When Li Huowang opened a door and found that there was still no clue, he took the cotton wool out of his ears and listened carefully to all the sounds around him.
We walked around the village in circles, and even Mr. You invited a dog to dig three feet into the ground.
But this time is different from what we encountered in the past. There are no hostile sights, no weird evil spirits, and nothing here.
When Li Huowang returned to the third-door courtyard of the Bai family, he saw Luo Juanhua and Chun Xiaoman comforting Bai Lingmiao in the bright lobby.
Others were standing around, discussing something in twos and threes. When they saw Li Huowang coming back, they all looked over.
"You guys go to bed first. We'll talk about anything tomorrow." Seeing Li Huowang speak, the others no longer insisted on anything and left in twos and threes.
Because she had cried, Bai Lingmiao's pink eyes became redder. She looked at Li Huowang with deep sadness in her eyes and kept choking.
"It's late enough. Where is your room? Take a shower and go to bed."
Bai Lingmiao, who pursed her lips, stood up and walked towards the water tank in the kitchen.
After burning a stick of incense, the two of them lay silently in a bedroom filled with fragrance.
Looking at the surrounding furnishings and the white mosquito net, it was obvious that this was Bai Lingmiao's past boudoir.
Bai Lingmiao was curled up on the bed, her shoulders shaking constantly, trying not to cry.
The next moment, she felt herself being hugged and leaning against her strong chest.
"Don't cry, solve problems when you encounter them. We are people with magical powers now. Are you afraid that you can't find anyone?"
Bai Lingmiao's twitching shoulders stopped, and her head arched against Li Huowang's chest. Suddenly she broke away from Li Huowang's embrace, picked up the skin and bones placed in front of the bronze mirror, and rushed out of the house.
"Dong-dong-dong! Dong-dong-dong! There is something to be done by the flying immortals in the sky, and there is something on the ground that Red and Yellow are rushing to do! There is something going on in the underworld, and I invite the King of Sorrow to help... I stopped the horse's head to ask the name of the country, and pulled the silk
Rein is looking for his hometown, maybe his surname is Zhang or his surname is Wang, or his surname is Li Lai or his surname is Huang... Zhao Qian's grandson Li Li Cunxiao, Zhou Wu's king Zheng Wang Yanzhang..."
Listening to the rhythmic drumming outside, Li Huowang slowly closed his eyes.
When Li Huowang opened his eyes the next day, he found Bai Lingmiao, who always got up early, lying on the bed speechlessly.
"How? What did the Xian family say?" Li Huowang asked while getting dressed.
"They can't find it," Bai Lingmiao answered while holding back her grief. "They can't even find the Xian family... Senior Brother Li, do you think my parents are really gone?"
Li Huowang walked over, reached out and patted her shoulder, then turned and walked out of the room. "I'm leaving. Please help me keep an eye on her while I'm gone."
Just when Li Huowang turned around, Bai Lingmiao opened the door. She opened her red eyes and said in surprise: "Senior Brother Li, where are you going?"
"Where else can we go? The Xian family is useless. Of course we have to find a way to find out where the people in the whole village have gone. You are like this, can I still ignore it?"
When Bai Lingmiao heard this, she immediately rushed forward, hugged Li Huowang's waist and leaned her face on his back. Her tears stained Li Huowang's clothes. "Thank you, Senior Brother Li..."
Seeing that Li Huowang's reaction had been very cold, she thought that he didn't take her family's affairs to heart at all.
But I didn't expect that the other party had already thought about what to do, but just didn't say it out loud.
