Lin Xi returned to her room and sat on the bed with a blank expression. Five small paper figures stood in a row in front of her.
Xiao Mu spoke up weakly, "Master, I was wrong, please don't be angry."
Lin Xi tapped his head, "You, you're no longer the innocent little elf. Honestly confess how much junk you've seen."
Xiao Mu blushed. "This... Master, I've seen too much. I don't know where to begin."
His eyes darted around. "But I remember the contents of that love manual. Master, would you like to hear it?"
"That little expression of his is obviously hiding something."
Lin Xi sighed, "Don't mention this again. You're not allowed to run around anymore. If you're caught, you'll get a beating and have to sweep the floor for a month."
Little Gold, Little Earth, and Little Wood raised their hands. "Master, we understand."
Little Fire and Little Water exchanged a glance, then raised their hands as well. "Master, we understand too."
Linxi taught them, "We are all one family, and you are not allowed to form cliques."
"Yes, yes, a family should love each other."
Xiao Mu reacted extremely quickly, grabbing Xiao Shui with one hand and Xiao Huo with the other.
Xiao Shui and Xiao Huo felt that trapping their companion was wrong, so one of them grabbed Xiao Jin and the other grabbed Xiao Tu.
The five little elves formed a circle and shouted in unison, "We are a loving family!"
Lin Xi waved her hand, "You three go and clean up."
Xiao Mu took Xiao Jin and Xiao Tu and ran away, while Xiao Shui and Xiao Huo went to help.
Lin Xi rested for a day and went to the fortune-telling hall as usual.
Qian Fugui was waiting at the door early in the morning. "Master, you've arrived."
"Good morning, Fugui." Lin Xi stepped inside, where the elderly men and women were already waiting.
Ji Heng didn't come today; he probably hasn't finished dealing with things at home yet.
Lin Xi took a sip of water. "Let's begin."
Qian Fugui announced his number, "First one, Zhong Yuanshuang."
A woman in business attire stepped forward and stated her question directly.
"Master, I am Zhong Yunshuang. I would like to ask you to tell me where my younger brother is now?"
“When my younger brother was fifteen, he skipped school to go to an internet cafe and had a big fight with our parents. He was so angry that he ran away from home, and we never saw him again.”
"For the past five years, my parents have lived with guilt. If they hadn't scolded him or stopped him from going to internet cafes, would things have turned out differently...?"
After her younger brother ran away from home, she and her parents searched for him for a long time and witnessed her parents break down in self-blame, crying every day.
Zhong Yunshuang reported the case to the police station, but still couldn't find the person. With a try-it-and-see attitude, she went to a fortune teller for a divination, which was her last hope.
Zhong Yunshuang pulled out a family photo, her voice trembling, "Master, I don't know if my brother is dead or alive?"
Lin Xi glanced at him. "Your brother is still alive."
Zhong Yunshuang was excited. "Really? Thank you, Master. It's good that my brother is still alive. It's good that he's still alive. Where should I go to look for him?"
Lin Xi said, "You don't need to look for him, the police will come to find you soon."
"What do you mean?" Zhong Yunshuang didn't understand her words. "My brother also wants to find us, so he asked the police to find our family."
Lin Xi stared at her intently. "Five years can change a lot of things. Your brother is no longer the boy he used to be."
“It’s okay, people always change.” Zhong Yunshuang’s eyes were moist. “No matter how he changes, he’s still my brother, and I must find him.”
"Master, where is my brother now?"
She asked expectantly, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Lin Xi sighed, "Police station."
Zhong Yunshuang's eyes widened. "My brother got into trouble?"
Lin Xi nodded. "The police will contact you soon. Be prepared."
Zhong Yunshuang was incredulous. "My brother used to be a bit mischievous, but he was kind at heart. What did he do?"
“He’s been through a lot in the last five years,” Lin Xi revealed the truth. “Your brother was involved in pyramid schemes. He was quite capable and became a group leader, swindling money from countless people. In the end, the police took him down in one fell swoop.”
Zhong Yunshuang remained silent for a long time. "Master, thank you for telling me. I will go to the police station to find my brother right away. No matter what, we share the same blood, and he is still my brother."
“My parents were relieved to know that my brother was not dead. We will wait together for him to be released after his rehabilitation.”
The phone rang as soon as he finished speaking.
Zhong Yunshuang sensed something was wrong and answered the phone, "Hello, are you a police officer?"
There was a noticeable pause of three seconds on the other end. "That's right, we are police officers from the Wushan County Police Station. Your brother, Zhong Yunfei, is suspected of smuggling and fraud. Please come here as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Zhong Yunshuang put away her phone and thanked him. "Thank you, Master. I'm going to see my brother now."
"goodbye."
Lin Xi sat in the chair, lost in thought.
People often say that blood is thicker than water, and blood ties are truly magical. The siblings hadn't seen each other for five years, but the sister still missed her brother. Blood ties tightly bound the two together.
Lin Xi suddenly remembered Jiang Ji, her second brother.
He's been searching for so many years because of blood ties.
Lin Xi shook her head and continued to perform divination.
Qian Fugui shouted, "Next, Qu Feng!"
No one stood up, and no one spoke.
Qian Fugui repeated, "Is Qu Feng here? It automatically jumps to the next person after being called three times."
"I'll ask one last time, is Qu Feng here?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
In the crowd, a tall, thin man frantically raised his hand, "Hey, Mom, don't push me away, it's my turn to have my fortune told, let's go in quickly."
Tian Lan tried to drag him out, saying, "No, no, I need to listen to Master Shi Kong's lecture on Buddhism. If I'm late, there won't be any seats left."
