Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 317: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 45

"It's so late, why hasn't that damn girl Xixi come back yet?"

"Stop wandering around, it's giving me a headache, go somewhere else!"

"Old man, aren't you worried? Xixi is just a little girl. Why didn't she come back so late at night? Could it be..."

Gu Ming's originally nonchalant expression suddenly changed after he understood what Zhao Mei had not finished saying.

"You mean... No way! Who would like Xixi? You know why the matchmakers have been coming to your house so many times in recent years."

"But it's because of this! If someone coaxes her out and makes it a done deal, then we'll just..."

Gu Ming stood up with a bang, "What you said makes sense! Xixi is getting more and more stupid now, could she really have been deceived?!"

"Oh!" Zhao Mei exclaimed as if she suddenly remembered something.

"You don't know, old man. Two days ago, Xixi wanted to take the fifteen taels of silver for herself, but I scolded her back. As a result, this incident happened today. Do you think it has something to do with the silver?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Go and see if the silver is still there!" Gu Ming was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet.

"Oh, okay... okay, I'll go right away." Zhao Mei was also panicked and at a loss. She couldn't even remember where she hid the money. She walked around the house twice before she remembered where she had hidden it.

"Old man!"

"Why are you shouting so loudly? It's glorious to let others hear you, right?"

"It's gone, it's really gone!" Zhao Mei didn't care about Gu Ming's impatient words and ran out in a panic.

"Missing? Have you looked for it?" Gu Ming's hands and feet felt cold and weak, and he had to hold on to the wall to keep standing.

Zhao Mei said in a trembling voice: "It's really gone! You said we didn't offend Xixi before, what is she going to do? Is she going to elope with someone and not care about our lives?"

"Look for her! We'll have to dig deep to find her! We've spent so much money on Gu Xi, we can't just let her run away like this! Even if she wants to run away with a man, she has to give me enough betrothal gifts!"

"But how do I find this?"

"Let's go find the village chief." Gu Ming paused for a while before he felt a little calmer.

"Looking for the village chief? Wouldn't that let everyone know that Xixi disappeared late at night?"

"She's so lowly that she ran off with someone, why are we covering up for her? Are we going to wait until she runs away before we go to the village chief to report to the police?"

"But... this is just our guess. What if... what if it's not true? Wouldn't we have ruined Xixi's life?"

"Why don't you understand? Whether it's true or not, we have to find her now, otherwise something terrible might happen!"

"Yes...that's right. Then...then let's go now." Zhao Mei was so nervous that she could hardly stand. Her hands and feet were so weak that she could only hold on to a stool to avoid falling.

The two men supported each other, picked up a wooden stick, lit a fire and set off.

Because they were walking at night and neither of them had very nimble legs, it took them more than ten minutes to arrive.

Button button ...

"Village Chief, I'm Gu Ming. My wife and I have something important to discuss with you."

The village chief, who was about to go to bed, felt a headache when he heard Gu Ming's voice.

He was almost afraid of Gu Ming. He was the one who had the most household chores every day, but he couldn't just ignore them.

It seems that he has to give up the responsibility of village chief as soon as possible, otherwise he is afraid that he will not be able to enjoy his old age!

Zhao Dali walked out before his father and opened the door for Gu Ming and Zhao Mei.

"Uncle Gu, what's the matter that brings you here so late at night? My father has already gone to bed."

"Da Li, this is really an urgent matter! My Xixi...is missing!"

"What! Your Gu Xi is missing? Have you looked for him?" Zhao Dali was shocked.

"We looked for it, but it's not at home. We also looked nearby when we came here, but we couldn't find it after searching everywhere." Gu Ming said anxiously.

"Don't worry, don't worry," Zhao Dali said hastily, "Maybe Xixi went out to play and forgot the time. I'll gather some people to look for her right away."

At this time, the village chief also came out of the house.

He just heard the conversation between Gu Ming and his son and realized that it was really an important matter. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly put on his clothes and came out.

"Gu Ming, don't worry. Dali and I will go gather the villagers right now. We have strength in numbers, and we will definitely find it soon if we work together."

"well……"

Having said that, Zhao Dali turned around and went out to wake up other villagers door to door. Everyone picked up torches and began to look for Gu Xi in the village.

Because Gu Qian's home was quite far away, before they received the news, they had already seen the village brightly lit and torches lit everywhere.

"Brother Yong, what's going on? Why do I hear someone calling Gu Xi?"

"Yeah, I heard it too."

"Come on, let's go out and take a look."

At this time, Gu Qian also walked out of the house.

"Mom and Dad, I heard that Gu Xi seemed to be lost, and everyone is helping to look for her."

"What? Gu Xi is missing? How could such a grown-up person be missing?"

"Brother Yong, this matter is not that simple."

"No matter how simple it is, let's help look for it first." Gu Yong said and turned to prepare torches.

"Qianqian, your father and I will go out to look for him. You stay at home and look after Xuanxuan. Don't go out casually and don't sleep. Be smart, okay?"

Li Xiuqin suspected that this was most likely done intentionally. Either Gu Xi was kidnapped, or she ran away with someone voluntarily. In any case, it was not a good thing.

Their family had a conflict with Gu Xi not long ago, and it was too much of a coincidence that this happened at this time.

That's why she asked Gu Qian to stay at home and not go out.

"Mom, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself and Xuanxuan."

"Well, I'm relieved to have you here."

After giving a few instructions, Li Xiuqin followed Gu Yong out with the torch.

Gu Qian, who stayed in the yard, was thinking about how the situation would develop, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

I’m afraid that Gu Xi was kidnapped by someone!

After all, she couldn't think of any reason why Gu Xi would run away on her own. Excluding this possibility, the only possibility left was that she was abducted by human traffickers.

Even though she and Gu Xi don't get along well, after all, she and she are both girls, and she can't bear to see her get into trouble!

The world is harsh to women. If Gu Xi suffered this misfortune, she would be sad in the future.

Having made up his mind, Gu Qian quickly mobilized his spiritual power and radiated his spiritual awareness outwards.

After checking, she soon discovered something was wrong.

A few kilometers outside the village, a group of men in black were rushing towards their village in the dark.

Among them was Gu Xi, who was carried on the shoulders of the man in black.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qian’s expression immediately became solemn.
