In her memory, Lu Mingming actively used her mental energy to track her, and only once, at the auction.
In addition, she usually made arrangements around Aunt Shi's house to prevent it from being raided by law enforcement.
It couldn't have been Aunt Shi who did it.

Lu Mingming subconsciously rejected this idea, and she was more inclined to believe that it was a trick used by the law enforcement forces to seize the herbs.
Yesterday's malicious deception by the vendors revealed the immense value of the herbs the little boy possessed.
If that's really the case...
Lu Mingming stood there in a daze. People passing by saw her in front of the house where the incident had occurred, and they all covered their noses and hurried away.
Finally, a kind little cub, untouched by the corruption of Sin City, trotted over and said:
"Sister, you should leave quickly. This family has been taken away because they contracted the plague. People who have contracted the plague are being dealt with in a unified manner. Don't stay at the door, or you might get infected."
Aside from the noble people in the city with spiritual powers, for the rest of us, getting sick means certain death.
Outside the city, children of this age are mostly still playing with mud or constantly pestering their parents to buy them Barbie dolls or similar toys. How would they know the word "death"? They probably don't even understand the concept of death.
Lu Mingming squatted down, patted the little girl's head and smiled slightly: "Thank you for reminding me. Can you tell me where the main area of the plague is? I have a friend there, and I'm very worried about him."
The little girl pointed in a direction, confused, not understanding why the older girl insisted on going there.

Lu Mingming said thank you and then set off towards the so-called epidemic area.
A strange, sour, rotten smell wafted along the way, reminding one of swill that had been stored up for half a year without being disposed of.
I had expected to see streets piled with garbage and people lying on the ground groaning in pain, but instead, everyone was going about their business as usual.
A vibrant energy, completely different from that of the citizens of Sin City outside the pandemic zone, gathered in his eyes—a life that had come alive.
This transformation, though seemingly small, is enormous; at first glance, it has brought about a complete change in one's first impression.
They appeared to be in good health, with no horrible blood spots or other symptoms on their sun-exposed skin.
The entrance was blocked off with barbed wire, and a steel sign was erected with the words "No Entry" nailed into it.
With a flick of his finger, Lu Mingming's spiritual energy easily attached itself to the surface of his body, greatly reducing the discomfort he felt while breathing and giving him a rare chance to catch his breath.
Unable to go inside, Lu Mingming stood at the door observing the people passing by, but unfortunately, he didn't see the little boy's family from yesterday; it was as if they had vanished into thin air for no reason.
The security guard standing at the door stared at Lu Mingming for a long time, and finally couldn't help but nervously pick up the loudspeaker and broadcast loudly: "What are you doing here? Don't you know this is an epidemic area? If you have nothing to do, leave quickly. They are fine and don't need your concern."

"Excuse me, I'd like to ask if a family with a boy has been here? They must have come last night. The little boy may have injured his knee, because he's walking with a limp."
Lu Mingming was hoping the security guard might know something, but the guard frowned and asked, "That one..."
The security guard's expression shifted repeatedly, finally settling on impatience, showing no intention of telling Lu Mingming the truth.
"They're all dead, they're all dead. Don't ask anymore, there's no other answer if you do."
"Is he really dead?"
Lu Mingming was extremely persistent.
"May I ask how he died?"
"You said that the plague would kill you within three days, what am I supposed to say?"
The security guard grew increasingly agitated, his small eyes darting back and forth, looking guilty.
Lu Mingming noticed something was wrong with the security guard. With her fingertip in the guard's blind spot, she conjured a very similar herb leaf on the branch of a medicinal herb, which she used to eavesdrop.

After finishing all this, Lu Mingming deliberately sighed:
That's such a pity.
She placed the herb she had picked that morning on the ground, her tone slightly apologetic.
"I originally dug up a medicinal herb, and I came to see him today... Could you please give this herb to those whose symptoms are not severe? I hope it will be helpful to them."
Goodbye, and I wish them a speedy recovery.
After saying this, Lu Mingming turned and left.
Once he was certain the person had left, the security guard, his obese body squeaking, nimbly jumped down from the guard booth.
He picked up the herbs that Lu Mingming had put down and examined them carefully. After a moment, his mouth dropped open.
"My goodness! Although these aren't particularly rare or valuable herbs, this whole bag could sell for several thousand Ugh coins. Is this little girl crazy?"
The security guard watched Lu Mingming's retreating figure with a complicated expression, muttering to himself, "Maybe I should talk to that person and see if we can make an exception and let them meet..."

There was definitely something fishy going on.
As soon as Lu Mingming turned a corner, his expression changed drastically.
All the security guard's mutterings reached her ears through that herb leaf.
In fact, Lu Mingming also found it strange that there was no eavesdropping.
