Chapter 169 Let's go find him
Li Liuli pursed her lips, her nose felt sore, and her eyes quickly turned red.
She was very scared.
She was afraid that her father would be like the heroic predecessors they saw in the research they participated in, and disappeared quietly without even leaving a name.
"Mom, big sister..."
Li Zhenzhu saw that her mother and big sister looked wrong, and the panic in her eyes increased a little.
She grabbed the corner of a person's clothes with one hand, and her fingers were tightly pinched.
When Fan Qingyi noticed the abnormality of his two daughters, he quickly calmed down his emotions and smiled soothingly.
"Don't panic, maybe we really remembered it wrong, let's go back and look for the letter your father sent..."
She raised her head, thanked the duty comrade who had been looking at them, returned all three notebooks, smiled and said Happy New Year to everyone, and led the three children out of the post office, one in each hand.
After returning to the yard and entering the space, Fan Qingyi dared to ask.
"Ali, are you sure the paper in those three books has been changed? The names and mailing information on the changed papers are all rewritten?"
Li Liuli nodded, "Yes, I can feel it, that page of paper is different from the previous and the next."
In order to make sure, she almost touched the paper of the entire notebook from beginning to end, and only that page was different.
"The ink used to write the record is the same as that used on other papers, but because the time of writing is different, the color of the ink is wrong and it has not reached the age it should have."
Fearing that Fan Qingyi did not understand, Li Liuli changed to another explanation.
"...The words written a year ago and the words written half a year ago will have slightly different colors when the ink dries."
Fan Qingyi looked at her daughter and did not speak for a long time.
Li Zhenzhu looked up, "Sister, they erased our father's mailing records. Did they not want people to find our father?"
"Yes."
Li Liuli glanced at her sister, then at the little sister with dark eyes, and retracted her gaze to look at Fan Qingyi, "Mom, these things can only show that Dad is in a dangerous situation. This... is actually a good thing."
Fan Qingyi just nodded, and the little daughter's voice suddenly broke in.
[…This method of erasing information not only protects Dad, but also his family, us, and those people in the Li family…]
[There is another possibility. Dad’s mission this time poses a great threat to us, whether it is life or death, so his information was erased so cleanly.]
[In our real world, drug police and undercover agents are known to even the smallest children. To protect them and their families, their information must be erased, so…]
Li Shanhu stared at Fan Qingyi with eyes wide open, and cried like a baby, [Mom, is my dad going undercover?]
Fan Qingyi was shocked, her head felt dizzy, and she was a little unsteady on her feet.
She knew some things about undercover agents from Brother Wenfeng. If he really went undercover, then the erasure of his information would make sense.
But, whether he lives or dies…
it’s hard to say.
Fan Qingyi sat on the bed in front of the wooden house, and her breath was trembling.
Li Liuli and Li Zhenzhu squatted on one side, looking at her.
Little Tiger rubbed against Li Shanhu, who pushed him away and glared at the little tiger. What time is it? Why are you still making trouble? !
She was affected by the butterfly effect and now she didn't even know whether her biological father was alive or dead.
The little tiger thought she was playing with him and rubbed against him again.
Li Shanhu grabbed him and started to pull him, howling as she pulled him. "Now, apart from finding my father's troops and asking his leader to confirm my father's current situation, there seems to be nothing else to do."
Fan Qingyi's eyes moved and he glanced at Li Shanhu with his peripheral vision.
The mother and daughter stayed in the space until it was dark outside. They had a simple dinner and coaxed the three children to sleep. Fan Qingyi sat under the window and looked up at the moon in the sky.
When it was almost dawn, he dozed off for a while.
During this time, he had another nightmare.
Li Wenfeng's mouth was full of blood, and his bones were broken. He lay in the pit full of blood like a rag doll.
Someone beside him was throwing dirt into the pit with a shovel.
Seeing that he was about to be buried, Li Wenfeng suddenly opened his eyes and smiled at Fan Qingyi.
"Yiyi..."
Fan Qingyi reacted and screamed and rushed over to save him. The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes and met the concerned eyes of her three daughters.
"Mom..."
Li Zhenzhu pushed away her hair that was stuck to her face and gently touched her face, "Mom, did you have a nightmare?"
Fan Qingyi was still in shock, and the rag doll-like appearance of Li Wenfeng was still in front of her.
Her lips trembled, her whole body trembled, and she couldn't control her shaking.
"Mom!"
Fan Qingyi sighed with a trembling voice, "Don't, don't be afraid, Mom... Mom just had a nightmare, it will be fine after a while."
Li Zhenzhu was about to cry.
Li Liuli held Fan Qingyi's hand and dared not let go.
Fan Qingyi was afraid of scaring the child, so she bit the tip of her tongue hard. The sharp pain spread throughout her limbs and bones, and the fear from the depths of her soul was slowly suppressed by her.
She trembled and took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and forced a smile.
"Nightmare, it's so scary, Mom was scared."
If she had dreamed of Li Wenfeng spitting blood before, she would have been just worried and scared in her heart, but the nightmare just now made her feel that she was really going to lose Brother Wenfeng.
No!
She couldn't wait at home.
Xiao Shanhu was right. It was unknown whether Brother Wenfeng was alive or dead. As a relative, she could go to the army to find his leader.
He had to tell her whether he was dead or alive.
If he was alive, she would wait at home. If he was dead... she had to bring Brother Wenfeng back. She
couldn't let Brother Wenfeng...
die in a foreign land.
Fan Qingyi couldn't wait even a minute longer.
She glanced at the gray sky outside and estimated that it was about six or seven o'clock. She dressed Xiao Shanhu, asked A'li and Zhuzhu to dress as well, and took them into the space.
She told the three children her plan.
"Do you want to go to Beijing with me to find your father, or go to Aunt Feifei's house to celebrate the New Year?"
Li Zhenzhu opened her mouth, but when the words came to her lips, she looked at Li Liuli first.
Li Liuli frowned, "Let's go with mom to find dad."
Li Zhenzhu nodded hurriedly.
"It will be hard on the road." Fan Qingyi reminded the two.
Li Liuli hummed, "We are not afraid of hard work."
Li Zhenzhu also nodded in agreement.
Fan Qingyi was relieved and distressed, "Okay, then we mother and son will go to find your father! We want a result whether he is dead or alive."
"Yeah!"
The mother and daughter discussed and began to prepare dry food for the journey.
You can't just conjure up things when you're hungry, so you can only prepare in advance.
Fan Qingyi baked a dozen soft steamed buns, some with preserved vegetable and pork filling, and some with beef filling. She
also made steamed buns with several kinds of vegetarian fillings, and put a few cans of homemade fruit in them.
At dawn, the mother and daughter went directly to the train station, bought tickets to the provincial capital, and then took a train to Beijing.
In the train station, Fan Qingyi remembered that Liu Feifei asked her to go to celebrate the New Year, and thought that she should let her know to save her a wasted trip.
Liu Feifei was surprised, "You said you were taking A'li, Zhuzhu and the others to Beijing to find Brother Wenfeng?"
When Liu's father and mother heard her words, they looked away.
Fan Qingyi hummed, and was about to explain something, when she looked up and saw Li Yuanbao walking towards them.
Behind her, followed several people from the third branch of the Li family.
There was a young man whom she hadn't seen for a long time, who looked like Li Wenfeng, with a gentle face.
Fan Qingyi was stunned for a moment.
