One person was tall and thin, and the other was short and thin; they appeared to be a man and a woman.

A moment later, Lu Qiqi heard the door close.

A man and a woman walked towards her.

"Lord of the Township," the two said in unison.

Lu Qiqi then saw the two people clearly through the moonlight; they were Zhao Zhiwei and Ru Mei.

She asked, "What brings you all to knock on doors so late at night?"

Zhao Zhiwei had run through most of the village, and his hair was now soaked with sweat, with large drops of sweat dripping from his forehead.

Ru Mei said with a sob in her voice, "Village head, I don't know where my mother has gone. It's so dark now, and I haven't seen her come home yet."

My husband and I searched the village for most of the night, but we couldn't find him. What are we going to do?

As she spoke, Ru Mei burst into tears.

Ignoring the stares of others, Zhao Zhiwei pulled Ru Mei into his arms and comforted her, "It's alright, Mother will definitely find her."

After seeing and hearing this, Lu Qiqi understood what was going on.

She said, "You all come in and rest for a while. I'll send someone to find Zhao Xiaodong and have him gather everyone in the village to search together."

"Many hands make light work, and we'll eventually find the person."

After saying that, Lu Qiqi opened the courtyard gate and let the two of them into the house.

Zhao Zhiwei initially wanted to refuse and instead wanted to continue looking for the Yuan family.

But Rumei, whom he was holding, had been running with him for half the night and was now too tired to walk.

Thinking of this, he helped Rumei into the house.

As soon as the two sat down, Lu Qiqi poured them a bowl of dendrobium tea to help them refresh themselves.

Then she knocked on Li Changlong and Zhou Yi's door.

Tell them to go find Zhao Xiaodong.

After Li Changlong and Zhou Yi left, Lu Qiqi went to the backyard and quietly released Wangcai from her spatial storage.

They wanted to use Wangcai's keen sense of smell to see if they could find any trace of the Yuan family.
