Chapter 300 Niuxin Village
"Dad! Mom! Where are you?!" Bai Lingmiao, who was in tears, kept searching throughout Niuxin Village.
Behind her was Li Huowang, and he followed her to look for her, 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 closer 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, thinking that the old man and I had mistaken the location, so I searched the surrounding area for several miles, but I searched all over Niuxin Mountain and only 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. inside.
At this moment, Bai Lingmiao couldn't bear it anymore and leaned on Li Huowang's shoulder and cried loudly, "Brother Li, my family is gone, my family is gone!!"
Such long-term expectations were completely shattered at this moment. Li Huowang knew what it felt like, and he could relate to it.
"Don't cry. Maybe they just left temporarily, and something bad might happen to them. Think of it for the best."
Lu Zhuangyuan on the side also comforted him: "Miss Bai, what the young 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 was a big deal at first glance.
Bai Lingmiao's cries 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's impossible for the entire village to suddenly disappear. Something must have happened. Even if they were eaten by evil spirits and deceived by Zuowangdao, there would definitely be traces left.
"Master Dao, actually, I told Miss Bai that their family went to escape the disaster. It actually made her feel better. From my perspective, they probably didn't escape the disaster."
"How can anyone avoid a disaster and not even lock 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 one 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, 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 stopped insisting and left in twos and threes.
Because of crying, 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? Come and wash up and go to bed."
Bai Lingmiao, who pursed her lips, stood up and walked towards the water tank in the kitchen.
After burning the 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, and she was trying not to cry.
The next moment, she felt herself being hugged and leaning against a strong chest.
"Don't cry. Solve trouble when you encounter it. 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 and asked for the name of the country, and pulled the silk rein to find my hometown, or surname. Zhang may be surnamed Wang, Li Lai or Huang. Zhao Qian is grandson Li Li Cunxiao, Zhou Wu is King Zheng and 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. "Even the Xian family can't find Senior Brother Li. Do you think my parents are really gone?"
Li Huowang walked over, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, then turned and walked out of the room. "I'm leaving. Please help me keep an eye on it during my absence."
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. Li Huowang's clothes were stained with tears. "Thank you, Senior Brother Li"
Seeing that Li Huowang's reaction had always been cold, she thought that the other party 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 he was going to do, but he just didn't say it out loud.
