The weather outside was very cold. Strong winds blew and it seemed to be snowing.

Chu Sihan sent a message over. He said that he had something to do and would only be here at nine.

Lu Sheng only replied with ‘no hurry’ before placing her phone on the table.

Xiao Ru stood up from time to time and walked to the door to look, but did not see her grandma and sister for a long time.

Seeing that half an hour had passed and her grandma and sister still did not return, Xiao Ru became anxious.

She said to Lu Sheng, “Sister, can you stay at home alone?”

Lu Sheng looked at her and asked, “Are you going out?”

“Yes!” Xiao Ru nodded. “Grandma has been gone for so long and hasn’t returned. She probably hasn’t found my sister yet. I have to go over and help her find her.”

Lu Sheng hesitated and said, “But didn’t Grandma not let you go out? What if you go out and they happen to come back?”

“We can’t just sit and wait.” Xiao Ru said anxiously, “In the past, when Sister sneaked out, she would at most go next door to play with her friend. It would only take her a while to go next door. Why would it take so long?”

Although the village was not big, there were not many residents. There were only about twenty families. Even if they were next door, the two families were quite far apart.

It had to be at least two to three hundred meters away.

Lu Sheng thought for a while and stood up. “In that case, I’ll be with you so that you can have a companion.”

Xiao Ru’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, Sister!”

She was only sixteen years old. Especially after hearing what her grandma said, she was afraid to walk alone in the day, let alone at night.

If she was not worried about her grandma and sister, she would not have dared to go out alone.

“You’re welcome.” Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “Let’s go.”

Xiao Ru took the key and locked the door before leaving with Lu Sheng.

There was no moon or stars tonight. It was dark and the cold wind was biting.

Lu Sheng was wearing thinly, but because she had used some special methods, she did not feel very cold.

Xiao Ru was wearing a thick down coat, but she was still trembling from the cold.

As the flashlights at home had been taken away by the old woman and there was nothing left, the two of them could only turn on their phones to light up the path ahead.

The path was dark and there was no one there. The wind blew, and it sounded like a hundred ghosts were howling.

Xiao Ru was initially a little scared. However, after seeing Lu Sheng’s stable footsteps and calm expression, her fear dissipated.

For some reason, she felt that with this sister around, she would feel an inexplicable sense of security.

After walking for about six minutes, they finally reached the next house.

The lights in this house were still on. When the two of them went in to ask, they heard that the old woman had been here before. However, Xiao Xian was not around, so the old woman went elsewhere.

Lu Sheng and Xiao Ru had no choice but to continue searching elsewhere.

After walking for about ten minutes, they finally saw a light not far away.

When they got closer, they realized that there were two figures.

They seemed to be Grandma and Xiao Xian.

Xiao Ru was elated and was about to call out, “Grand—”

She had just shouted when Lu Sheng covered her mouth.

“Shush!”

Lu Sheng said in a low voice, “Don’t shout.”

“What… what’s wrong?”

Xiao Ru asked fearfully.

Lu Sheng said in a low voice, “Turn off the torchlight first.”

Although Xiao Ru did not know what happened, she followed Lu Sheng’s orders obediently and switched off the torchlight.

Her surroundings darkened and she could not even see her fingers. There was only that faint light in front.

“Look, there’s someone on the ground beside them.”

Xiao Ru looked over suspiciously. Then, she asked in confusion, “Sister, why do you want to look at the ground?”
