"Just explain it to them, it’ll be fine." She instructed.

"Yes, yes, Ma’am."

The Ghost Clan man responded and was about to explain to the villagers.

But before he could speak, a voice came from not far away.

"Seven, you’ve finally come back, haven’t you?"

As his voice came through, soon, a haggard-looking man pushed through the crowd and walked over to the Ghost Clan man.

"Sorry, everyone, this is my friend. His family also has a missing child, just like us, pitiful. I’m sorry, I’ll take them to my house now and make sure to keep them secure."

He stood next to the Ghost Clan man, spoke to the villagers, and bowed to them while speaking.

Soon, after hearing his words, the villagers slowly left, leaving only Lin Caisang and a few others.

"Seven, you brought the two esteemed guests from Wuzhu Teahouse. Quickly, esteemed guests, you must be tired from the long journey, please come to my home to rest."

The man approached them and led them to his home.

As they entered the man’s house, Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo subconsciously paused.

"What’s wrong, esteemed guests?"

Seven and the man saw them stop and turned their heads to look at them, asking.

"Nothing."

Sui Zimo lightly uttered two words, and the two continued inside, arriving in the main room.

A Ghost Clan woman came over, followed by a child, carrying four cups of tea. The man smiled at Lin Caisang and the others.

"Esteemed guests, this is a small place, we don’t have much to offer. This is charm tea, please have some."

This was the best thing the family could offer. It was originally prepared for the child’s full moon celebration, intended to serve guests.

Little did they know, it wasn’t used at all, the child was gone.

Lin Caisang smiled, picked up a teacup, took a sip, then put the teacup back on the table, before looking at them again.

"Tell us how the child went missing?" Sui Zimo asked them.

"The child..."

As the child was mentioned, the man’s eyes reddened.

"We don’t know what happened. My wife had just given birth to a son, my mother was holding the child, and I went to tell my father the good news. But when I returned, I saw my mother fainted on the ground, and my wife was unconscious in bed.

The child was gone. When they woke up and we asked them, they couldn’t remember anything, couldn’t recall what they had done before."

"Yes, yes, same with us, same situation."

Seven’s wife hearing the man’s words, kept nodding, saying they were also in the same situation.

She fainted in bed, knew nothing at all, couldn’t even remember how she gave birth to the child. Her mother-in-law was the same, didn’t know whether it was a boy or a girl she had given birth to.

"Was there anything unusual that happened at that time?" Lin Caisang asked them.

"Unusual?"

The few people looked at each other, unsure how to answer.

What unusual things could have happened, when they don’t even know what happened at that time.

"For example, did you smell any peculiar scents, hear any strange sounds, or did anyone from the house disappear and come back later?"

Lin Caisang prompted.

"This..."

The four of them exchanged glances again, unable to recall anything.
