Demps was carrying a travel bag and holding a map of Liandao city in his hand, carefully checking the street information.

It’s only February, the beginning of spring, but the temperature on Lian Island has already reached 27 degrees.

He licked his dry lips, squinted at the street sign above his head, and began to cross out the streets he had already looked for with a pen.

The crossed-out parts mean he has already searched for them.

Seeing that most of Liandao was marked with red crosses, Demps' heart sank gradually.

Is it true, as Pei Bochuan said, that Xiaoyuan moved from here to another place?

He really didn't dare to think about it anymore. If it was true, how would he find her in such a big world and such a vast sea of ​​people?

The more I think about it, the slimmer my hope seems.

"Ding-ling-ling..." the cell phone rang.

He reached into his trouser pocket and took out his cell phone. It was Xiao Yi calling.

He walked to the shade of the tree and answered the phone, saying somewhat weakly: "Hey, I don't have it here, how about you?"

Xiao Yi's depressed voice came from the other side: "I asked around, but there's nothing."

Demps was silent for a while, then he glanced at the Queen and said, "Come back first, and we'll find the rest later."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Go back to the hotel and wait for me. I'll meet you after I finish searching this street."

"Okay, be careful and make sure to take your heart medicine on time!" Xiao Yi reminded him worriedly and hung up the phone.

Dempsey put his phone away and looked at the time. It was already half past two.

He hadn't stopped since breakfast in the morning, and now his stomach was protesting with hunger.

Because of the division of gangs in Liandao, people are extremely sensitive about their territories, and his people don't even dare to come over to look for people.

So he could only take Xiao Yi with him to search slowly. He declined Pei Bochuan's request to send someone over.

He went through all the hospitals and streets looking for someone, but no one had seen Pei Yuanyuan.

The hospital had no registration records, and the street did not have any information about a Zhongzhou girl being admitted.

Looking at the not-so-big Lotus Island, Dempsey forced a smile.

As long as he hasn't searched everywhere, he still has hope.

The street where he was standing was similar to the ancient city buildings of Lizhou. People of all skin colors walking here made him feel as if he was still in Lizhou.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, and there is an unknown big tree standing every few steps.

There are four benches under the trees, and flowers everywhere add a unique charm to this street.

Dempsey perked up and started asking in every store with Pei Yuanyuan's photo.

"Hello, excuse me, have you seen this girl? She is my wife..."

"Hello, have you seen this girl?"

……

No one on the street had seen Pei Yuanyuan, and Demps' heart sank again.

With his mind in a trance, he didn't know which alley he had walked into after turning around.

This alley gives people a comfortable and quiet feeling. Although it looks a bit shabby, it does not make people feel depressed or uncomfortable.

Occasionally, children would run and laugh, adding a sense of liveliness to this deep and quiet alley.

The buildings on both sides look like they are hundreds of years old.

Walking out of the alley, I saw only a residential area, and the ginkgo pendant in front of the community gate was still swaying in the wind.

There are actually several Central Asian restaurants not far away.

When he smelled the familiar aroma of Central Plains specialties, Demps' already extremely hungry stomach protested wildly again.

If he didn't eat something and take some medicine, he would probably be sent back to the hotel lying down.

Thinking of Xiao Yi's cold eyes, he shrank his neck unconsciously.

But what should he eat? He walked and looked at the restaurant.

At this time, a fat black woman stood up from the store door and said, "Hey, little brother, you're looking for something to eat, right? Come to my house, I have everything!"

Demps glanced at the clean and tidy restaurant and nodded.

"Hey, then come in. I see you are from Central China, right? My husband is also from Central China. Although I am from Austria, I am married to him!"

"We opened a Chinese restaurant here, and most of our customers are from Central China. We have all kinds of dishes. Take a look and see what you want to eat."

Demps put his bag inside and sat down, "What's your signature pasta dish?"

"Oh, noodles! That's my husband's specialty, the braised beef noodles!" the woman said excitedly.

"Just give me this." Demps nodded.

"Okay, Lao Liu, one serving of the special braised beef noodles!"

"okay!"

The woman looked at Demps drawing on the map and was somewhat attracted: "Brother, what are you drawing?"

Demps didn't want to answer, so he forced a faint smile and said, "Nothing, can you hurry up? I need to take heart medicine."

"Oh, okay, you look so young, why are you taking cardiac medicine? Tsk tsk..." The woman shook her head and left muttering.

The woman came to the kitchen and immediately gossiped to her husband: "Husband, are you people from Zhongzhou particularly weak? The handsome guy who just came here looks very energetic, but he actually took heart pressure medicine."

The woman’s husband rolled his eyes at her and said, “Other people’s affairs have nothing to do with you. Don’t talk nonsense in front of the guests.”

"Oh, I'm just sighing, but this guy is really handsome, even more handsome than our Liandao's celebrity idol. With this appearance, only our upstairs girl can match him..."

The man interrupted her: "Come on, come on, be quiet and stop trying to get someone to marry you. The braised beef noodles are ready, go!"

"okay!"

When the food was served to him, Demps was speechless as he looked at the woman who was reluctant to leave and was still somewhat infatuated with him.

He quickly finished the noodles in three or two bites and prepared to leave.

"Madam boss, how much does it cost?"

The woman turned around and said with a smile, "15 yuan. It tastes good, right? Our beef noodles are famous far and wide. Even the mayor sometimes calls to place an order."

Demps handed her the $20 and nodded perfunctorily at her words.

The woman shook her head as she gave him the change and sighed, "Oh, you are really handsome. It's a pity that Xiaoyuan has a lover, otherwise I really want to match you two up. A handsome man and a beautiful woman would be so beautiful..."

Dempsey took the change and froze when he heard this.

He immediately grabbed the woman's arm and shook her excitedly, "You mean Xiaoyuan??? Isn't she a very pretty girl with long brown hair, and she's pregnant!"

The woman was shaken so much that she staggered and bumped into the side of the cabinet. "Ouch, ouch, stop, stop, let go, don't get excited."

"Boss, look, is it her? Is it?" Demps asked, holding up the photo tremblingly.

As he watched the woman nod, tears fell from his eyes.

This surprise made him feel mixed emotions, and he could only wipe away his tears while crying and laughing.

Finally found it.

He was very glad that he entered this store. If he had not entered this store, he would definitely miss her again.
