Speaking of Xiaomei's disappearance, the family discovered it and immediately began looking everywhere. To them, Xiaomei had seemed fine in the days leading up to this, showing no signs of insanity, and her communication was normal. They were clueless about where she might have gone. Her aunt went to the town center to look for her, worrying that Xiaomei might have gone to Xiaoquan's tavern seeking out Liuliu.
Xiaowen and Xiaoguo together went to check at Xiaojie's place. Xiaomei's mother, accompanied by Xiaomin, searched within the village, in mountains nearby the house and even near the ancestral graves.
The uncle went to check at the Chen Family's place, fearing that Xiaomei might have gone there out of confusion. Xiaomei's father, in his anxiousness, waited at home for some news while hoping that Xiaomei might come back by herself.
