Mrs. Wu's sudden appearance made Jiang Li's heart skip a beat, but compared to last night, everything seemed normal with Mrs. Wu now, except she was still wrapped up tightly in her cloak.
"We... we just wanted to take a walk around the village," Jiang Li explained.
Mrs. Wu stared at her, speaking slowly, "I told you not to go out at night, yet you ran, and now you're missing a person. You realized the consequences now, right?"
Run?
Of course, we had to run...
If we had stayed in that room last night, it wouldn't have just been Lu Guo missing; you might have gobbled up our corpses by now.
However, the three of them kept this thought to themselves; no one was foolish enough to say it to Mrs. Wu.
"Follow me..."
Seeing them remain silent, Mrs. Wu didn't press further, closing the door and slowly leading the way.
"The village chief's surname is Kang; you can call him Village Chief Kang."
