Chapter 715: Finding Xiao Xian (1)

“Xiao Ru, Xiao Xian.”

After speaking to the girl, Lu Sheng was about to return to her room to wait for Chu Sihan when the old woman’s anxious voice came from downstairs.

The door beside her creaked open and the girl who spoke to Lu Sheng walked out.

“Grandma, what’s wrong?”

“Xiao Ru, is Xiao Xian upstairs?”

“No.”

When Lu Sheng opened the door again, Xiao Ru was walking downstairs.

Xiao Ru said, “When I went upstairs, wasn’t she still drinking water downstairs?”

“I saw her just now too. I just turned around and she disappeared. Could this girl have run out?” the old woman said anxiously.

“Could she have gone to Xiao Ya’s house to play?” Xiao Ru said, “Grandma, should I go over and ask?”

“Don’t go. I’ll go.”

When Lu Sheng went downstairs, the old woman picked up a torchlight, put on her bamboo hat, and was about to leave.

Upon hearing footsteps coming downstairs, the old woman turned back. When she saw that it was Lu Sheng, she hurriedly smiled and said, “Miss, is your boyfriend here?”

“Not yet.” Lu Sheng shook her head. She asked suspiciously, “Did someone get lost?”

“No,” Xiao Ru said. “My sister must have sneaked out to play.”

“Didn’t you say that we can’t go out at night? Isn’t she afraid?” Lu Sheng was curious.

“That child is like that.” The old woman sighed softly. “She doesn’t listen no matter how many times I tell her. She often sneaks out when we’re not looking. She really doesn’t know danger.”

Lu Sheng glanced at the time. It was only eight in the evening. She hurriedly said, “It’s not very late yet. Nothing should happen.”

The old woman looked at her in surprise. “Miss, do you know something?”

Lu Sheng smiled. “I heard from Xiao Ru just now.”

The old woman nodded. “I didn’t say it because I was afraid that you would be afraid alone.”

Lu Sheng chuckled. “I’m braver than other girls. I’m not afraid of these things.”

“That’s good!”

The old woman nodded. “Then, I’ll go next door to find her.”

Lu Sheng nodded slightly. “The roads are dark. Walk slowly.”

“Yes!” The old woman replied and left with the lamp.

“Sigh—”

Xiao Ru sighed faintly. “My sister is really too insensible. Grandma had clearly instructed her repeatedly not to go out at night, but she still sneaked out. If she was really unlucky and bumped into that thing, she would suffer enough.”

“Someone bumped into them in the village?” Lu Sheng asked softly.

Xiao Ru nodded. “Yes! We’re afraid because something happened before.”

Lu Sheng took out three Exorcism Talismans and passed them to Xiao Ru. “These are Exorcism Talismans. They’re very effective. Each of you will take one of these. If you wear them, those dirty things won’t dare to get close to you.”

“Really?” Xiao Ru’s eyes widened. “Sister, where did you get these talismans from?”

“I got them from an expert.” After speaking, Lu Sheng continued asking, “What happened to the person who encountered the ghost?”

Xiao Ru said fearfully, “He jumped into the river the next day and committed suicide. Later, I heard from an old man that that person happened to bump into a ghost who was looking for a scapegoat. He was a gambler and only came back in the middle of the night after gambling. He bumped into the ghost.”

“Then what happened to the ghost-raising master you mentioned previously?” Lu Sheng asked again.

“I heard from my grandma that the ghost escaped from him.”

“I see!”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Is that master from your village too?”

“No.” Xiao Ru shook her head and said, “He came to our village only two years ago.”
