Fortune-telling and ghost-catching are too cruel, I’m being targeted by the country

"Xuanxuan! Come and eat shrimp wontons!"

A woman's urging voice sounded again in the room, her voice loving and earnest.

"I know mom!"

The childish boy's voice reached Liu Xuan's ears through the door.

Liu Xuan stood outside the door, her soul trembling slightly, her eyes flashing with a shallow red light, and there was resentment that could not be hidden on her pale face.

Why did her parents give up on her after she had only been missing for a year?

They also had a son and even gave her name to his younger brother.

At this moment, Liu Xuan felt resentment that she couldn't suppress in her heart.

Her soul passed through the door and saw a middle-aged woman wearing an apron busy in the kitchen, sitting on the carpet in the hall, playing with a little boy assembling toys.

The little boy has a delicate appearance, is chubby, and looks very cute.

Hearing that his mother had cooked shrimp wontons, he looked very painful and looked at the white-haired man sitting next to him as if asking for help.

The six-year-old child shouted aggrievedly: "Dad?"

Liu's father, who was looking dazed, came out of his reverie when he heard his youngest son's call.

His wrinkled eyes were squeezed together, and he asked with a smile: "Xuanxuan, what's wrong?"

Liu Xuanxuan pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "Mom cooked shrimp wontons again."

When he heard about shrimp wontons, the smile on Father Liu's face froze, and the corners of his lips trembled uncontrollably.

He raised his hand and gently stroked his youngest son's head.

"Xuanxuan, be good. After you finish your wontons, daddy will buy you a toy tomorrow, okay?"

Liu Xuanxuan heard this and immediately smiled: "I want Ultraman!"

Father Liu agreed: "Okay! When you eat wontons later, you have to be happy, you know?"

"I know! I'm going to eat wontons!"

Liu Xuanxuan dropped his toys and rushed into the restaurant like a firecracker.

Father Liu was sitting on the sofa. His straight back suddenly became rickety, and his face was full of suppressed pain.

He raised his hands and rubbed his old face vigorously, and his back seemed to be crushed by the weight on his body.

Liu Xuan's soul floated to her father, leaning forward and tilting her head to look at Liu's father, who had been separated for eight years but was at least twenty years old.

Just then, the cell phone on the table rang.

Because of the exclusive ringtone set, Father Liu instantly sat upright, his eyes filled with anticipation and fear.

He picked up the phone very quickly, pressed the mute button, stood up and hurried to the bathroom.

"Old Liu, come and eat wontons!" Mother Liu's urging came from the kitchen.

Father Liu's hand holding the phone was trembling, his face was flustered, but his tone was very calm and he said, "I'll go and take a moment first."

Mother Liu said: "Then hurry up!"

"understood!"

Father Liu pushed open the bathroom door, turned on the indoor ventilation device, quickly swiped his phone and answered the call.

Before there was any sound from the phone, Father Liu asked in a trembling voice: "Officer Li, is there any news?"

Liu Xuan, whose soul followed Liu Xuan, heard a strange man's voice coming from the phone.

"Mr. Liu, I'm very sorry. Your daughter is not among the members rescued from Vietnam and Myanmar this time."

Father Liu leaned against the wall and closed his eyes tightly.

He said in a hoarse voice: "I understand, thank you for your hard work, Officer Li."

Officer Li said: "This is my duty and what I should do."

Neither of them spoke. After a long time, there was noise from Officer Li's side.

He said comfortingly to Father Liu: "No news is good news. I will find your daughter one day."

"Well, as long as I'm alive, I will keep looking."

"I will also help you keep an eye on it."

"Thank you, thank you Officer Li. Please be busy first and we will contact you later."

Knowing that Officer Li was busy with official duties, Father Liu took the initiative to hang up the phone.

After listening to her father's call, the faint red light in Liu Xuan's eyes disappeared instantly.

It turns out that dad never gave up looking for her!

Her soul floated forward and took the initiative to hug Father Liu.

Liu's father, who didn't know his daughter was coming home, clenched his hands tightly at his sides, and his cell phone made a squeaking sound.

"Xuanxuan——"

He murmured the name of his eldest daughter in his mouth, and there were two traces of tears in his closed eyes.

Seeing her father in such pain, Liu Xuan finally couldn't help it and shouted in a sad voice: "Dad!"

"Lao Liu, are you okay? Come out quickly and eat shrimp wontons!"

Mother Liu outside was urging her urgently.

Hearing his wife's call, Liu's father opened his eyes and wiped his tears with his sleeves.

He adjusted his mood and shouted self-deprecatingly to the door: "Come on, come on, I'm getting older now, and I have more and more physical problems!"

Father Liu washed his face as quickly as possible to drive away the redness in his eyes.

After making sure that nothing strange would be discovered, he opened the bathroom door.

Mother Liu, who had black hair and an old face, stood outside the door with a spoon in her hand, looking at her husband with a smile in her eyes.

"Why does it take so long? Xuanxuan is clamoring to find his father."

"Really? I'll go see him."

Father Liu was afraid that his wife would notice something strange, so he didn't dare to look her in the eyes and walked straight to the restaurant.

Mother Liu, who was standing behind her, lost the smile in her eyes and stared directly at the mobile phone in her husband's hand.

Liu Xuan, who was on the side, saw the strangeness in her parents' eyes, and intuitively felt that something was wrong with them.

But she didn't know what the problem was.

After eight years of separation, Liu Xuan saw her parents again and found that the biggest change in them was that they were much older.

He is clearly not even fifty, but he looks like he is sixty or seventy years old.

Liu Xuan looked at her mother who was standing there with her head lowered, not knowing what to think.

Her hair was black and shiny, just like it had been many years ago.

But Liu Xuan could still see at a glance the large patches of white hair hidden by the black hair.

"Axiu, let's eat wontons together!"

In the kitchen, Liu's father's greeting voice came.

Mother Liu walked towards the bedroom with slow steps and said feebly, "I'm tired and want to sleep."

She forgot the spoon in her hand and walked to the bedroom in a daze.

Liu Xuan looked at her mother who was obviously not right. Just as she was about to follow her, she was bounced away by the golden light of the Bagua mirror hanging on the bedroom door.

She was suddenly thrown towards the restaurant and fell to the ground in an awkward position.

Liu's father in the restaurant didn't know anything. He was secretly destroying the wontons in his little son's bowl one by one.

He chewed a few mouthfuls at will, swallowed it quickly, and then picked up the next one impatiently.

Liu Xuanxuan, who had been staring outside, moved his eyes downwards, seeming to see Liu Xuan's figure.

He suddenly tugged on Father Liu's sleeve: "Dad, mommy has gone back to the room, please eat slowly."

Only then did Liu's father stop his eager movements, pick up the bowl and take a sip of the soup.

After the feeling of choking subsided, he took out a can of milk from the refrigerator and dug out a pack of biscuits on top.

Father Liu touched his son's head and said lovingly: "Take Xuanxuan to the room to eat. Be careful and don't let mother find out."

"Oh, I see!"

Liu Xuanxuan held the milk and biscuits in his arms and trotted towards the children's room.

When passing by Liu Xuan, the child's clean and clear eyes showed a trace of pure curiosity.

He wanted to stop, but thinking that there were shrimp wontons in the restaurant that he disliked the most, Liu Xuanxuan decided to put the delicious food back in his arms first.
