At dusk,
Lu Ren, led by a young man, arrived at Shiling Village.
This place is close to the county town, and the conditions are much better than those in Heitu Village, and the atmosphere is also very lively.
The young man's name is Wang Hao, also from Shiling Village. He works in the county town during the day and comes back to rest at night.
On the way, Wang Hao roughly told Lu Ren what happened in the village in the past few days.
"It should be the night three days ago when the 14-year-old daughter of Mr. Zhang from the east of the village disappeared inexplicably."
"Since then, one person has disappeared in the village every night. Everyone has been in a state of panic these days and can't sleep well."
Lu Ren asked,"Is there anything in common among the missing people?"
Wang Hao thought for a while, his eyes lit up,"Really! The missing are all girls under the age of 18, and they are all pretty."
He looked at Lu Ren, hesitated for a moment, and said with some concern,"What do you think?".......Will they have been......."
He couldn't bear to say the following words.
But anyone could imagine that if those girls fell into the hands of the demons, they would be in great danger........Poor girl.
I just hope they can suffer less.
Lu Ren was silent for a moment:"Do you know any family in the village that has a girl who meets the requirements?"
"let me see......"Wang Hao held his chin and thought.
"Our Shiling Village is more patriarchal. Although the population is larger than that of other villages, there are very few pretty girls in their teens."
"I know there should be only two families left."
Lu Ren nodded:"Take me there to have a look."
If there are two families, the target range will be narrowed down a lot.
If the demon dares to attack again tonight, it will definitely not escape from his grasp.
Lu Ren followed Wang Hao to the first family.
It was a family of three, an old couple in their fifties, and a fifteen-year-old daughter.
The custom in Tianchenzhou generally gets married very early.
Like this couple, they had a daughter in their thirties, which can be called a daughter in old age.
According to Wang Hao, the family actually had a son, but he had an accident when he was less than ten years old.
In order to have someone to take care of them in their old age in the future, they have this little daughter now.
However, when Lu Ren stated his purpose, the couple actually showed resistance.
Especially the short man named Li Laosi, who scolded Wang Hao angrily.
"You little bastard from the Wang family, how dare you bring a random person of unknown origin to my house? Do you believe that I will complain to your father and let him beat you up?"
Li Laosi cursed and pushed Lu Ren and Wang Hao out.
"Get lost, I can take care of my daughter myself, there's no need for you outsiders to worry about her."
"Uncle Li, this Mr. Lu was personally appointed by Lord Lin of the Demon Suppression Division to help us find out the truth about the disappearance. You'd better be polite."
Uncle Li closed the wooden door heavily indignantly.
"I don't care what company you are in. Outsiders are not welcome in my home. Go back to where you came from."
Outside the door, Lu Ren looked at Wang Hao in confusion.
The latter scratched his head in embarrassment.
""I'm sorry, Master Lu. Fourth Uncle Li is notoriously bad-tempered in our village. Don't take it personally."
Of course, this is not what Lu Ren cares about.
It's just that girls in the village have been disappearing these days, and the matter has become a hot topic. The Li family cannot be unaware of it.
He has already revealed his identity, but the other party still drove him out regardless of everything.
This move is really puzzling.
Don't the Li couple worry that their daughter will be abducted by demons?
And from the beginning, they blocked the door and refused to let Lu Ren in.
Before Lu Ren was driven out, he glanced into the room.
There was indeed a young girl.
She was sitting in front of the dressing table, dressing in front of a mirror, wearing a colorful new dress.
Lu Ren's eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people. He saw the girl's full appearance from the reflection in the mirror. She is not very beautiful, and her skin is a little dark, but her overall appearance is pretty.
But what is strange is that the girl's face is She put on a very thick layer of blush, which looked particularly incongruous.
Not only the blush, but also the other makeup, all looked very strange.
It was obvious that the girl didn't know how to put on makeup at all, and the makeup on her face was just randomly applied based on her feelings.
And after Lu Ren's observation, the Li family was considered relatively poor in the village.
No matter how much they doted on their daughter, it was unlikely that they would buy so much rouge and powder, right?
Although the girl in the mirror didn't raise her eyes, Lu Ren couldn't see any joy on her face.
It seemed that someone forced her to do all this.
There was no one else in the room, and the people who forced her could only be her parents.
Dressing up like this, is it possible to force the girl to get married?
Lu Ren left the Li family and asked Wang Hao his questions.
Wang Hao shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of any rumors in this regard.
Lu Ren sighed helplessly:"Let's go to another house first."........
Fortunately, the next family went smoothly. Except for being a little wary at the beginning, they did not obstruct Lu Ren.
And they cooperated very well and told Lu Ren the basic situation of the family.
There are only three people in the family, mother and daughter.
The mother is over 40 years old, her face is a little old, and her body is a little hunched, as if it is caused by the fatigue of doing housework all year round.
Her husband died more than ten years ago. She gave birth to two daughters in total.
The eldest daughter got married a few years ago, but her husband died of a serious illness not long after.
Her in-laws regarded her as a disaster star for her husband and drove her back to her parents' home.
The second daughter is also fifteen years old this year, and she looks very pure and lovely.
Lu Ren sat for a while, and the little girl very sensibly brought him a cup of hot tea.
""Grandpa, this is the tea my mother planted herself, you try it."
The little girl forced a sweet smile on her innocent face.
The eldest daughter, perhaps because of the family changes she had experienced, had a slightly inferior personality. She stood silently by the side and didn't like to talk much.
However, Lu Ren saw all the eye contact between the two sisters from time to time. Although they were also a family of three, the relationship between this family was obviously much more harmonious.
On the other hand, Li Laosi's family revealed a weird feeling everywhere.
""Master Lu, are you here to protect me?" the little girl asked curiously.
Lu Ren smiled and nodded:"Yes."
"Several sisters in the village have gone missing. Someone said it was my turn tonight. My mother and sister were very worried."
"So, aren't you afraid?"
The little girl lowered her head shyly:"Actually.......I was also scared, but my father told me when I was a kid that the more scared you are, the less you can show it.
Lu Ren smiled and said,"That does make sense.""
"Then, Master Lu, will you stay at my house tonight?"The little daughter blinked her bright eyes, full of expectation.
It was a look that was like seeing a savior, longing to be protected.
Clear and fragile, without a trace of impurities.
Lu Ren was silent for a while, and a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth:"Yes."
