"Give Dad some more time. He'll miss me."
"Yeah." Su Miaomiao nodded.
I went to check on Huo Chengwang and the others. After two days of treatment, their bodies had more or less improved.
By dinner time, Lu Xiuyuan still hadn't arrived.
"Why don't you let your second aunt and the others eat first, and we'll wait a little longer." Tang Chunlan said.
"It's okay, just leave some space for him alone." Su Miaomiao shook her head.
"That's fine." Tang Chunlan did not refuse again.
But after they finished their meal, Lu Xiuyuan still didn't show up.
Su Miaomiao sat in front of the fire, looking in the distance, her eyes slightly gloomy, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Are you worried about him?" Huo Wenbo sat down next to Su Miaomiao without him noticing.
"No." Su Miaomiao came to her senses and shook her head.
Lu Xiuyuan is not that fragile. Since he said that he is confident that he can solve this matter, there will basically not be any major problems.
"What are you thinking about?" Huo Wenbo also took a wooden stick and poke the fire in front of him.
"Nothing, just daydreaming." Su Miaomiao smiled.
"I hope your Lu Zhizhi can solve the relationship problems in Second Aunt's family as soon as possible. I feel uncomfortable staying in this village for one more second." Huo Xinyuan rarely showed such an expression.
"It should be soon." Su Miaomiao comforted.
"Yeah." Huo Wenbo nodded.
Just as Su Miaomiao and Huo Wenbo were chatting, a bright light flashed in the village in the distance, and then quickly dimmed.
"What is that?" Huo Wenbo caught it keenly.
"It's like the light from a flashlight." Su Miaomiao narrowed her black eyes slightly.
"Could it be that the villagers are planning to do something again?" A hint of darkness flashed across Huo Wenbo's eyes.
"I'll go take a look." Su Miaomiao stood up.
"I'll go with you." Huo Wenbo also quickly stood up.
"You stay here to take care of Second Aunt and the others. It would be bad if this is their trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain." Su Miaomiao said in a deep voice.
Huo Wenbo frowned, but ultimately said nothing.
"Then be careful. Call me loudly if anything happens." Huo Wenbo warned.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Su Miaomiao smiled at him, turned and walked towards the direction of the light.
Huo Wenbo, however, stared at Su Miaomiao's back with great worry, and almost couldn't control himself and chased after her.
When Su Miaomiao saw the bright spot, she didn't see any human figure. She looked around at the roads around her and found a road next to it that seemed to lead to Huang Fengmao's house.
During the day, she had already visited all these spots.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to Huang Fengmao's house first.
Huang Fengmao's home.
A dim kerosene lamp was lit in Huang Fengmao's bedroom. He sat cross-legged on the bed, with his sons surrounding him.
In front of him was a young man with shifty eyes and a flashlight.
"Village chief, we have been guarding the village entrance all the time. That man has not come back since he left." The young man with shifty eyes said to Huang Fengmao.
"Dad, do you think he will go to the police again?" Huang Fengmao's son frowned.
"He won't cry until he sees the coffin. We've already called the police once, and he still wants the police to live in our village permanently?" Huang Fengmao's other son was indignant.
"Why are you panicking? It's useless for him to look for her again and again. She has already turned into bones. The police can't find any clues either. As long as we deny it, the police can't do anything to us." Huang Fengmao touched the cloth tied around his neck, his eyes revealing a bit of coldness.
