Currently, there were no ordinary residents in Luoyang City. The residents had already been evacuated when the spatial tunnel opened last time. Now, Luoyang City was a huge war fortress. It only had one function, and that was to face the war from Lü Zhou.
However, even if the owner of the household had left, with the relatively standardized household registration management, as long as one knew who had lived here and their accurate information, they could find their current location through the national network.
It was not a hundred percent chance of finding them, but it was very likely.
Chen Zu'an went to call Zhong Yutang. Lü Shu walked up to the residential building. The door was locked, but something like a security door was as fragile as paper even for a Sixth Stage cultivator.
Lü Shu twisted the door lock with one hand and walked in. He saw that the house was in a mess. The washing machine was a popular brand more than ten years ago, and so were the TVs and fridges.
The white furniture had turned yellow, and some were even a little black. Some women's clothes were thrown on the ground. There were two pots of flowers on the windowsill, but they had already withered. There was also a bowl on the sofa, and the bowl was moldy.
The whole house had a decadent atmosphere, as if the owner of the house was also very down and out.
There was an ashtray on the coffee table with cigarette butts in it.
There were no male belongings in the house, so it was a woman who smoked. Her clothes were also large, which matched the characteristics that Li Dian had mentioned.
Perhaps the woman had lived here for more than ten years, and there was no new owner.
Li Dian pointed under the windowsill. "There was a crib there, probably made by the carpenter himself. The baby was lying in it, and it was very sick. It didn't cry or make any noise."
Lü Shu did not interrupt him, but listened quietly. He knew that it was his past.
Li Dian continued. "At that time, I thought that the child was very cute. When he grew up, he would definitely achieve great things and become a Tengra..."
Lü Shu looked at Li Dian with a faint smile. "You guessed it?"
Li Dian smiled. "I'm not a fool."
Of course, Li Dian had guessed it. Otherwise, why would Lü Shu care so much about the information of an ordinary woman!? After all, this was the Ninth Tengra, one of the most powerful and mysterious powerhouses in the world, almost as infamous as Nie Ting overseas.
How could such a person pay attention to an ordinary woman for no reason?!
Therefore, Li Dian came to a very horrifying conclusion: he had stolen the Tengra's toy calabash and swaddling clothes more than ten years ago …
At this moment, Li Dian really wanted to slap himself to death. Why did he have to steal from this person?
But who knew that a random woman he had stolen would cause such a big mess!
"But Lu Tengra." Li Dian explained, "I wasn't just trying to suck up to you. You know how extraordinary the gourd and the swaddling cloth are. When I discovered that they weren't ordinary items, I had a feeling that your background might be very shocking. The swaddling cloth can block all senses. Just based on that, it would be priceless in the black market. And that gourd, it's so powerful … "
Suddenly, Cheng Qiuqiao said from the bedroom, "Brother Tree, come take a look."
Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu walked into the bedroom and found a small crib with clothes piled up on it. The sloppy owner of the house had actually used the crib as a bedside table.
Li Dian said excitedly, "Yes, this is the crib!"
Then, Lü Xiaoyu lifted the crib, threw away all the clothes inside, and stuffed the crib into his spatial ring …
Lü Shu said, "… What are you doing with this?!"
"Nothing, just keeping it as a souvenir," Lü Xiaoyu said innocently.
At that moment, Chen Zu'an walked in with a phone and said, "I found it. The owner's name is Xiang Xiuxi. This house was allocated to her by the factory more than 20 years ago. It has always been hers. She has three criminal records, all for fighting with the neighbors. Now, she has been evacuated with the residents of Luoyang City to Meng City in the north. It's only half an hour's drive away."
"Okay." Lü Shu nodded. "Let's go and find her."
Li Dian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He said tentatively, "I didn't lie to you, did I? I really told you the truth."
"Well, you're quite honest," Lü Shu said with a nod.
"What about my sentence reduction?" Li Dian was a little excited.
"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word," Lü Shu said as he patted Li Dian on the shoulder.
After sitting in the car, Li Dian suddenly became curious. "Lu Tengra, what would you do if I really couldn't find her?"
"What else could I do? I'd make you repent," Lü Shu said in a relaxed tone.
Li Dian laughed. "So you were just scaring me just now."
"I'm not scaring you." Lü Shu said, "I'm telling you to repent in the underworld."
"Negative emotion points from Li Dian, + 666!"
…
When the war broke out, the residents of Luoyang City were evacuated. However, the population of a city was extremely large, so they could only disperse to various cities and even the county.
Some people went to their relatives, and the rich could buy new houses in other cities. However, there were still many people who had neither relatives nor money to go to, so they could only wait for subsidies and aid.
Moreover, the resettlement houses could not be built so quickly. Nowadays, almost all the houses in the suburbs of Meng City were prefab houses or tents. However, Lü Shu saw that the resettlement area was not as dirty and messy as he imagined it to be. Instead, it was orderly. Each prefab house had a number, and the people living in it were clearly recorded.
The administrator of the resettlement area was very cooperative. After all, it was Tengra's Earth Net who was looking for someone. Everyone would definitely pay attention to such matters.
Lü Shu slowly walked inside and found that the residents in the prefab houses were in good spirits. At this moment, the "director" in charge of the prefab houses suddenly shouted, "Xiang Xiuxi, someone is looking for you!"
Lü Shu did not expect this guy to shout at the top of his lungs. He was almost shocked!
However, the next moment, an even louder voice rang out from one of the prefab houses. "Where's Soul? Why are you shouting! Who's looking for me!? "
When Lü Shu saw a strong woman walk out of the prefab house, he finally understood why Li Dian could not touch her bones. No one else would be able to touch her …
"Are you Xiang Xiuxi?" Lü Shu asked directly.
"Yes, my name is Xiang Xiuxi. Why are you looking for me?" Xiang Xiuxi sized up Lü Shu. "I've never seen you before."
She was not a fool. At a glance, she noticed that there was a group of people following behind Lü Shu. They all looked extraordinary, and it was obvious that they had powerful backgrounds.
A cultivator's temperament would improve. This did not mean that cultivation was very useful, but that when one became stronger, their confidence would increase. That kind of temperament change would come from the inside out.
Lü Shu asked, "Did you raise a child 18 years ago?"
Xiang Xiuxi was stunned. "How did you know?! You are … "
"Where did that child come from?" Lü Shu asked.
"I picked him up." Xiang Xiuxi's tone was a little weaker.
"Where did you pick him up?" Lü Shu asked, puzzled.
"Eighteen years ago, someone was suddenly chasing a woman on the street in the middle of the night. I had just returned home from the night shift at the factory. The woman passed by me, but I didn't think much of it." Xiang Xiuxi said, "But after taking two more steps, I found a box at the door of the corridor. There was a baby in the box."
