The three of them discussed for a while, and he returned to the Fu family's old residence with Lin Xue's orders.
They will continue to keep an eye on everyone in the Fu family, especially Fu Shaojie, who is suspected of being possessed.
Lin Xue, on the other hand, was waiting for the village chief to arrive so they could discuss a strategy to deal with the Heart-Eating Demon.
The group split into two groups.
He went back, but he couldn't find Fu Shaojie anywhere.
Meanwhile, the village chief had gathered all the unmarried girls from each household to Mei Niang's house.
The sun has now set.
The entire Meilin Village was plunged into darkness, except for the brightly lit Fu family mansion, the rest of the village was shrouded in darkness.
"Well? Have all the unmarried women gathered here?"
The village chief went out to give notices, and when he came back, he saw that Mei Niang's room was crowded with about a dozen girls who were waiting to be married.
"Xiaohua hasn't arrived yet!"
Lin Xue looked around. She might not know the others, but Ge Xiaohua was her best friend whom she had been playing with for two days.
"We have already notified the Ge family, and they should have sent the person over by now."
The village chief frowned, turned around and went out again. He planned to go to Old Ge's house to see if the person hadn't been delivered or if something had happened.
"Besides Xiaohua, Chunxing didn't come either!"
Because of her introverted personality, Mei Chunxing rarely played with the other children in the village and mostly stayed at home helping with housework.
So no one thought of her immediately. When the village chief went out to look for Ge Xiaohua, one of the girls who lived close to Chunxing's house shouted as if she had just discovered her.
"oops!"
"It seems I really haven't seen Chunxing."
Once someone took the lead, the other girls quickly followed suit.
"Xiaoyu, doesn't Chunxing live next door to you? Did you see her when you came here?"
Once everyone knew who was missing, they began to speculate about Chunxing's whereabouts.
“I saw Chunxing when I arrived. She said she would come over as soon as she finished tidying up her things at home.”
"My dad's been urging me to leave, so I'm leaving now!"
Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed when she saw that everyone's eyes were on her.
Logically speaking, since their two families live so close, they should wait for Chunxing.
But she doesn't usually play with Chunxing much; she's a quiet person. In this urgent situation, she naturally didn't think of waiting for her.
"Don't worry, everyone. Let my older brother take a look later!"
Seeing her sisters chattering and making a ruckus, Mei Niang quickly told them to stop.
If they keep arguing like this, her ears are going to explode.
Time slips away bit by bit.
The village chief searched house to house again and finally confirmed that the two girls, Ge Xiaohua and Chunxing, were missing.
Both families were extremely anxious, especially those with elderly members, who probably guessed what had happened.
Right now, villagers are being mobilized to search for Ge Xiaohua and Chunxing.
All the other girls were locked up in Mei Niang's house and were not allowed to go out.
At first, the girls were a little reluctant, but after hearing Mei Niang's explanation, they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they stopped clamoring to go home.
There were many villagers surrounding Mei Niang's house; they were there to protect the young girls.
Tonight, we absolutely cannot allow the Heart-Eating Demon to successfully possess us.
The village chief has already sent some of his young and strong friends to guard outside the bridal chamber.
For the Heart-Eating Demon to successfully possess another body, a ritual must be performed in the bridal chamber.
After all, the entire village had been searched thoroughly by the villagers, and only the new house contained those peculiar array runes.
"Mei Niang, you stay here. I'll go outside and check the situation."
Lin Xue felt that everything should be fine here, since there were so many people guarding the place. She needed to go to the Fu family to check on the situation.
We still need to find out where Ge Xiaohua and Chun Xing'er are.
"Xiaoxue, I can't let you go out!"
Mei Niang looked at Lin Xue with concern.
They say time reveals true character, and this friend has really helped her a lot these past two days.
If it weren't for Lin Xue's constant companionship, Mei Niang might have already decided to die.
"Don't worry, I'm different from you!"
“I’m no longer a virgin, so even if Fu Shaojie is a real heart-devouring demon, he can’t do anything to me.”
Lin Xue patted Mei Niang's shoulder and whispered something in her ear.
"What?"
This news shocked Mei Niang quite a bit. She never expected that her usually gentle and kind friend had already lost her innocence.
So who is her lover?
Before Mei Niang could ask any questions, Lin Xue left the house.
Only Mei Niang noticed, while the others seemed not to see Lin Xue and let her come and go as they pleased.
Mei Niang was also curious as to why the guards outside didn't ask her a single question.
These people stop her whenever she tries to go out, don't they?
Little did Mei Niang know that Lin Xue was wearing many props to conceal her presence.
Apart from Mei Niang, the female protagonist of the dungeon, no one else pays any attention to Lin Xue.
We arrived at the Fu family's old residence.
They were scattered in various places, keeping an eye on the Fu family.
"senior!"
"Senior, we can't find Fu Shaojie!"
Everyone was getting anxious as they couldn't find Young Master Fu.
Unfortunately, even after searching the entire Fu family mansion, they still couldn't find Fu Shaojie.
They searched the village several times, but couldn't find the man at all.
Hearing these people's words, Lin Xue thought of the important items in this instance.
"Lei Ze, you two come with me. The rest of you, keep an eye on the Fu family!"
