Chapter 298 News of the Victim

For example, the family color of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex prefers to use blue.

Of course, these are just Lu Yu's guesses and cannot be accurate. Thinking of this, Lu Yu continued to look at Shi Tou's parents. His mother had already opened the black rattan box.

They took out one by one the clothes that Shitou wore when he was a child, and said as they took them out: "When we returned home, we not only renovated the whole house, but also carefully prepared small clothes and a small bed for you."

"Look, this is the first piece of clothing we bought for you after we found you—because we were on the road at the time, and it was inconvenient to make clothes for you."

"After returning to the Holy Spirit Village, this little dress... is the first dress I made for you personally."

"And this splash drum is a toy I gave you to amuse you on the way. Actually, you are really easy to deal with. You just eat and sleep."

"When you wake up, you smile and babble with us non-stop. You don't make any noise, but your father is afraid that you will be bored, so he insisted on buying you a rattle to cheer you up."

"The originally boring journey has become more colorful and joyful because of your joining... Thinking back to that time, it was really wonderful."

Shitou, who was standing aside, was already shocked by the story and the love his parents had for him. He listened to his parents chattering on and on about things related to himself, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

Although his parents were from a poor family and might not be as wealthy as his real family, and although his parents had no martial spirits, his life in the Holy Spirit Village also made him encounter a lot of contempt.

But his parents' love for him is really no less than that of other parents. He has always grown up under the care of his parents... Although their family life has never been rich, his parents have never treated him badly.

As long as he needed something, his parents would prepare it for him at the first time. Even when they named him "Shi Tou", they did not just say "a humble name is easier to raise" like other people did. On the contrary, they had told themselves since they were young to name themselves "Shi Tou".

I hope he can possess a quality as hard as stone, and can be strong and not give up no matter what happens. He can also be a useful person like stone, no matter whether the work he does is noble or ordinary.

Everything can be like stone. Whether it is used to pave roads or to build houses, it will have its own use. This is to hope that the life of stone can also have its own meaning and value.

As Shitou thought about it, he stared blankly at the parents across from him. His mother had been describing the items in the rattan box in detail, but her voice became more and more choked up as she spoke...

Lu Yu also saw from the things they stored that the couple obviously loved stones very much, otherwise they would not have preserved these things so well.

Finally, Lu Yu saw Shitou's mother, and she finally took out a small quilt made of black fabric. After the quilt was taken out, it was just as the village head's grandmother said. When facing the light, you could see dark light floating on it. The fabric looked unusual.

Lu Yu stood up and asked, "Can you show me this quilt?"

Mother Stone nodded and said, "This is the swaddling clothes that Stone was wrapped in when we found the rattan box."

"We don't understand why the birth of a baby, such a joyous occasion, is not wrapped in red cloth."

"On the contrary, we should use this dark black fabric. Although it feels very good to the touch, other than that, there is nothing special about it."

"When I got back to the village, I immediately made a new swaddling cloth to wrap the stone, and I kept the quilt."

"We kept all of them for Shitou, because these are things left by Shitou's biological parents, and we are also afraid of what will happen when he grows up."

"If you want to find your biological parents, you have to rely on these clues. The probability of finding his biological parents will be greater."

"So we have been carefully preserving it for many years, and it has never been damaged in the slightest."

Lu Yu nodded, walked forward, unfolded the small quilt, and looked carefully inside and out, but did not find any useful value or clues in it.

However, it can still be seen that this quilt is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford. Not only is the outer fabric very special, but the lining is not cotton at all. Lu Yu touched it again and again, and even carefully opened a corner of it - it turned out to be a quilt with a natural silk lining.

Being able to afford to use natural silk fabrics and use natural silk as the lining, how can this be achieved simply by being rich? This family must be extremely powerful. What kind of family is this?

Lu Yu tried hard to recall the story of Douluo Continent, the Spirit Hall, the two empires, and the seven great families. Apart from these, he had never heard of any more powerful family appearing.

But among these forces, which one is the real family behind Shitou? Lu Yu fell into deep thought for a moment... Among the people present, only Lu Yu was a soul master, so when the village chief and Shitou's parents saw him thinking, no one dared to interrupt his thoughts.

The house suddenly became extremely depressing. Lu Yu thought to himself - since he came back to Douluo Continent this time, he found that many situations have deviated and changed.

For example, the Kuiniu that appeared in the Sunset Forest some time ago was a plot that had never appeared before. For some reason, it existed in this world, and it seemed that it also knew the secret behind his Fantian Seal.

He had promised the other party that he would avenge him, but when there was no progress at all, something happened in the Holy Soul Village that had never happened before - yes, the Holy Soul Village developed tourism, making the village famous.

If Lu Yu had never thought about this before today, everything that happened in the Holy Soul Village happened naturally, but now he thinks about it carefully - when did the Holy Soul Village engage in tourism?

It has always been an unknown village under the city of Nottingham, but now the plot is starting to become unusual... not to mention the incident with the stone?

Ever since I left the Holy Soul Village in my previous life and went to the Soul Master Academy to start my studies as a Soul Master, I have never set foot in the Holy Soul Village again. I have no idea what the Holy Soul Village has become like, or what the endings of Shi Tou and the others were. So what is going on in this life?

For a moment, Lu Yu couldn't figure out what was going on - but if he couldn't figure it out, he naturally shouldn't think about it. Lu Yu believed that even if he didn't take the initiative to look for it, the truth would always surface on its own.

After all, the fact that I can be brought back to this world means that there is probably something in me that makes it worth coming back here.

Lu Yu had no other thoughts except the Fantian Seal... But he had not yet solved the mystery of the Fantian Seal, which made Lu Yu very emotional... In this case, Lu Yu stopped thinking about it, and when he came to his senses, he found that everyone was holding their breath and looking at him cautiously.

Lu Yu understood instantly - he was so absorbed in his thoughts that they misunderstood him and did not dare to disturb him... Lu Yu quickly sat up straight, waved his hand and said, "I was just thinking about something, it's nothing, don't be nervous."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with anticipation, Lu Yu had no choice but to say to them, "I'm just very curious. The family that can afford such good materials is obviously not an ordinary family."

"They don't lack money to raise a child, so why would they choose to abandon the child... And judging from Shitou's appearance, he has a handsome appearance and is in good health."

"He doesn't look like a sick child at all, and they wouldn't throw him away... So the only possibility is a struggle within the family."

"But this is weird. If it was really a fight within the family, they could have strangled Shitou to death immediately, or thrown him into the water and drowned him."

"And why would they put him in a waterproof rattan box coated with tung oil, and then carefully place him inside and let him drift down the river?"

"This is really too strange. Could it be that the person who killed him has a change of heart? This shouldn't happen. I always feel that something is wrong with this matter."

"But I can't explain why exactly... Of course, instead of guessing here, it's better to improve the stone's own ability first."

Everyone came back to their senses after hearing what Lu Yu said. Old Jack touched his chin with one hand and said, "Indeed, you are right. This is a big doubt. Could it be that the person who killed him finally felt guilty?"

"After all, most people wouldn't be so cruel as to attack such a young child..."

Lu Yu shook his head. If he was really a professional killer, I don't believe he would be so kind. If he really had that kind of kindness, he wouldn't have become a killer, right? "

Everyone nodded slightly. If it wasn't because of his kindness, then what else could it be? Lu Yu had some guesses, but he couldn't be sure. After all, if he gave Shitou hope now and found out in the end that things were completely different from what he said, would the child be able to accept it?

Feeling Brother Lu Yu's eyes looking at him, Shitou knew immediately that Brother Lu Yu was worried about him, so he immediately said, "Brother Shitou, just tell me what happened."

"Don't worry, no matter what the outcome is, I can bear it. It won't be worse than being abandoned, right?"

Seeing Shitou's resolute expression, Lu Yu nodded and said, "These unusual places, I wonder if it is possible that your mother learned that you were going to be murdered."

"And she can't change, so she came up with this idea to give you a way out?"

"If you are not destined to die, you will be saved naturally. But if no one saves you, you will die anyway..."

"Of course, these are just my thoughts. They are not accurate. We can only know the exact situation after you find your family."

Old Jack on the other side frowned and said, "It's not impossible... But if that's the case, then Stone's mother is probably..."

After hearing this, everyone felt heavy in their hearts - yes, if someone really wanted to harm this child, and his parents were unable to protect him, would they be able to survive if they hid the child?

Shitou's adoptive father disagreed with Lu Yu's point of view: "If those people really wanted to kill Shitou immediately, why would they seal his martial spirit?"

"If he wasn't going to be killed right away, why did his mother put him in a rattan box and let him float away with the water?"

Lu Yu had only speculated before. After all, no one knew the truth of this matter unless they met the person in person.

However, Lu Yu still had his own considerations: "Or... maybe his mother wanted to avoid the danger of his martial spirit awakening when he was wandering outside and bringing disaster to herself?"

Shi Tou on the other side reached out and touched the small quilt left to him by his biological parents. The quilt was smooth, delicate and soft to the touch, completely different from the ones he usually used, just as Brother Lu Yu said.

This is definitely something that only wealthy families can afford. I wonder how rich and powerful this family must be to use such fine cloth for a baby.

But no matter how rich and powerful they are, Shi Tou is not interested in these things, but why they abandoned him. Or is there really an unknown secret here, and are his parents forced to do this to protect him?

Shitou really hopes that what brother Lu Yu said later is true. After all, all children want to be loved, and he is no exception. How could he possibly want to be disliked?

Shi Tou couldn't help but stroke the quilt in his hands, but a trace of sadness and sorrow flashed in his eyes. However, when he looked up and saw his simple and unpretentious adoptive parents, his heart was instantly warmed up again - yes, he was not a child that no one liked.

My adoptive parents loved me very much and kept all the clothes I had worn and my favorite toys intact. It was obvious that they wanted to keep all the good memories that belonged to them...

For a moment, the little child's heart was torn back and forth, making him feel sad one moment and happy the next. The adults around him felt very distressed when seeing this.

Lu Yu said at the right time: "Forget it, let's not speculate on these meaningless things here. The important thing now is the stone. What should we do next?"

This brought the focus back to Shitou, but Lu Yu did not let Shitou make a decision immediately. He said considerately, "The matter is still the same as we discussed before. You just said that Shitou has no martial spirit."

"Let's just delay it like this for now... for three days."
