This killer star of the War of Resistance Against Japan was only 9 years old.

"Sir, do you know how to get to Avenue Joffre in the French Concession?"

Bai Luo spoke to a man in his fifties who was steaming buns at a bun stall.

Today is the third day since I parted ways with Wang Wu and the others.

Bai Luo and Sha Niu finally arrived in Shanghai last night and randomly found a hotel to spend the night in.

The two got up early to inquire about the route. Bai Luo only knew that her aunt's shop was in the French Concession; she didn't know much else.

But Bai Luo believed that finding her aunt's clothing store shouldn't be too difficult.

After packing up the buns for another customer, the middle-aged man turned around and glanced at the boy who looked no more than 10 years old and the girl who looked about 16 or 17 next to him.

"From out of town?"

"Yes, we came to stay with relatives. Our hometown was ravaged by the Japanese devils."

"Those damn Japanese devils," the middle-aged man muttered after hearing Bai Luo's reply.

Then he took two steamed buns from the steamer next to him and handed them over, saying, "Are you hungry? Have some first. These are for you, no money needed."

As he spoke, he stuffed one steamed bun into Bai Luo's and Sha Niu's hands, one in each hand.

Before Bai Luo could even refuse, the silly girl next to him had already shown off half of it.

Bai Luo's lips twitched when she saw this. The old man next to her also watched the silly girl with amusement.

"The French Concession isn't far from here. Walk forward for half an hour from here, and when you see a three-way intersection, turn left. That's the French Concession."

Bai Luo was also eating a steamed bun. Hearing what the bun shop owner said, he nodded repeatedly. After finishing his bun, he thanked the owner and put a silver dollar on the stall.

The middle-aged boss was about to refuse when Bai Luo had already run out with the silly girl.

To avoid drawing attention, Bai Luo and Sha Niu are now dressed as refugees, and Bai Luo has already put their equipment back into his spatial storage. The two of them are just using a makeshift bundle as cover.

Inside the Yunxiang Cheongsam Shop in the French Concession, Bai Xiumei was greeting the last group of customers, who soon selected a wool shawl.

Bai Xiumei found a seat and called out to the tailor next to the shop, "Old Xu, could you cook a couple of dishes over there? It's lunchtime."

Upon hearing this, Old Xu, who was standing nearby, said, "Okay, boss lady." He then put down the fabric he had just finished tidying and prepared to go out to order food.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared at the door and walked in. Old Xu went to greet them.

Before she could even speak, she asked, "Excuse me, is there anyone here named Bai Xiumei?"

This was the sixth store Bai Luo had asked; he hadn't expected there to be so many clothing stores around here.

If this isn't the case, I just saw a restaurant next door and was planning to take my silly girl out for a meal. I'll continue to inquire in the afternoon.

Old Xu was startled when he heard this. Bai Xiumei was the real name of the shop owner's wife, who was now using the alias Bai Qingping.

But seeing that it was two children asking the question, Old Xu couldn't just send them away.

"Little boy, do you need something from Bai Xiumei?"

Upon hearing this reaction, Bai Luo perked up; there was hope! She quickly replied, "She's my aunt; I've come to stay with her."

At this moment, Bai Xiumei, who is now Bai Qingping, also heard the noise at the door and came out from the back room.

As soon as he stepped out, he heard Bai Luo's reply and stared intently at the small figure at the doorway.

His eyes revealed a mixture of shock and delight.

"Are you Little Radish?"

After shouting, he immediately rushed to the door and carefully examined the little figure at the door.

Although Bai Luo's once fair face was now covered in dirt as he dressed up as a refugee, Bai Xiumei could still recognize her younger brother.

Then, unable to resist any longer, he pulled Bai Luo into his arms.

“Little Radish, it’s me, your aunt! What are you doing here? Where’s your grandma?” she said, tears streaming down her face. Then she tightened her grip on her arm.

Bai Luo was suffocating and before she could react, she was pulled into someone's arms. Just as she was about to break free, she heard a woman's voice.

Bai Luo then gave up on his next move. This woman holding him must be his aunt, right? He'd finally found her.

Two hours later, Bai Xiumei looked at the silly girl next to her who was wolfing down her food.

"Here's some radish, you should eat it too, don't go hungry."

After listening to Bai Luo's account, Bai Xiumei wiped away her tears. Knowing that her mother was gone, she was extremely saddened. She would have no mother anymore... Thinking of this, tears welled up in her eyes again.

After a long while, once she had calmed down, she looked at Bai Luo, who was eating beside her, and smiled with satisfaction.

I remember when I first met this little radish, he couldn't even walk yet. I also saw his mother's letter. Looking at these two dirty children, I decided to take them home this afternoon and give them a good wash.

In the afternoon, Bai Xiumei took Sha Niu and Bai Luo back home, which was in an alley behind the shop, very close to the shop.

It also makes it convenient for Bai Xiumei to look after the shop.

After taking a shower and changing into the clothes prepared by Bai Xiumei, Sha Niu was already in bed asleep, while Bai Luo looked around at the structure of the house and the surrounding environment.

As a former special forces soldier, Bai Luo would first need to understand the surrounding terrain and then devise several evacuation routes in an unfamiliar environment.

Bai Xiumei also told Bai Luo that she was now called Bai Qingping. After hearing this, Bai Luo felt that his aunt must also have secrets, but he didn't care what they were.

Based on the feelings Bai Xiumei showed him, Bai Luo was certain that Bai Xiumei would not harm him.

That's enough. Everyone has their own secrets, and Bai Luo is no exception.

When Bai Xiumei saw Bai Luo hear her new name, she didn't press for details but instead nodded understandingly and said she had remembered it.

Feeling relieved, he told Bai Luo not to go out unnecessarily before hurrying back to the shop.

When Lao Xu saw Bai Xiumei return, he walked over to her side and asked in a low voice.

"Is that child your relative?"

"Yes, it's my brother's child. His grandmother told him I was in Shanghai before she passed away, so he came to stay with me."

"Should we inform the higher-ups and arrange for the two children to be evacuated to our base? After the Japanese discovered us here, we suffered along with the two children."

After hearing this, Bai Xiumei hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Old Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Xiumei nod, because it was really inconvenient for them, as underground party members, to take care of their children in enemy-occupied areas.

I'll talk to the organization tonight and see when to arrange for the two children to be evacuated.

At this moment, Bai Luo had no idea that his aunt would send him away so soon after he had traveled a long way to visit her.

I wonder whether Bai Luo will cry or laugh when she hears this news.

Bai Luo is currently wandering around her aunt's house, having long since ignored her aunt's warning not to go out.

After circling around four or five times, Bai Luo had a concrete understanding of the layout of the houses around her aunt's house and the exits of several alleys. The next step was to find out the location of the Japanese concession.
