Yueguan has been a person since she can remember, eating and sleeping alone, going to school and going home alone, before she met her master, she grew up in a welfare home in Anxian County.

Other children will cry for their parents, but Xiao Yueguan doesn't, not because she doesn't want her parents, but because she is afraid of causing trouble to the people in the welfare home, afraid that others will dislike her, and she is afraid that she will lose even this place of residence when the time comes. Although I don't say it, how can I not envy other people's children who have parents and parents, sometimes I feel too sad, I will run under other people's windows, stand there for a long time, listen to the laughter coming from the window, and secretly imagine that I am one of them.

Once I stood for too long and forgot the time, I was too sleepy and fell asleep under the window of the family, and when I woke up, it was late at night and I didn't know what time it was, and I was so scared that I hurriedly rushed back, and at that time she also encountered a scene like today.

She still remembered that it was suddenly dark in front of her, and it was the kind of black that she couldn't see her fingers, and there was a dim street lamp above her head, and there was her own small shadow under the street lamp, and she could see the outline of the house in the distance, and she could hear the barking of other people's dogs.

It was just that all of a sudden he couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything, and Yue Guan was so frightened that he froze.

"The blood of the phoenix, the true soul of the dragon maiden, the body of the glacier snow lotus," she heard countless voices around her, as if they were from the Nine Hells, whispering: "I finally found you......"

Xiao Yueguan stood in place, not daring to move or make a sound, only tears flowed down his eyes that were wide in fright.

But nothing had happened, or nothing had happened, and she could see and hear it again, the streetlights, the moonlight, and the little shadows of herself overlapping on the ground, and the sound of the wind in her ears.

At this time, a fair-skinned and slender hand reached out in front of Yue Guan and stroked the top of her furry head, and the man's gentle voice fell on her heart like a feather, suppressing all the anxiety and fear: "Are you lost, do you want me to send you home?"

Xiao Yueguan looked up, the man was half-squatting in front of her, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly against the light, but his eyes were gentle and bright, and he stretched out his hand to gently take her into his arms.

She felt a sense of peace and warmth in this person's arms that she had never felt before.

"Who are you?"

"I'm your master, I'm here to take you home. ”

"I'll go home with you. ”

Later, Yueguan left the welfare home and followed the master to the current home, although the master did not appear again after settling her, only occasional text messages and a monthly living allowance, in the years to come, Yueguan still lives alone, but she knows that she is no longer alone.

Every time he thinks about this, Yueguan will feel that he was alone in the previous years, whether he was waiting for this person to appear.

It's just that today, will the master still appear?

But one way or another, she can't do nothing.

What's more, she has never been one to sit still.

After making up her mind, Yue Guan got up and carefully touched the outside of the room along the wall, she remembered that there was a flashlight in the closet in the small hall on the second floor, and the lights in the house were not on, and it was possible that there was a power outage.

Find the flashlight and go see what's going on.

With his memory, he found the place step by step, opened the drawer, and finally grabbed the flashlight in his hand after looking for a long time, and Yue Guan breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally found it.

But the flashlight also didn't light up, and no matter how she pulled the switch, nothing happened.

There was no light on the dark second floor, and there seemed to be something unknowable in the darkness that was pouring in from all directions, hiding in it, spying on her with malicious intent.

It's obviously August weather, but Yueguan's hands and feet are cold.

There must be another way, she continued to fumble in the drawer, and finally found a long object, which was a lighter.

Yueguan squeezed the lighter tightly in his hand and pressed it tremblingly.

Click!

After pressing it twice, the lighter did not respond, and Yueguan's hands trembled a little.

Bright, bright, Yueyue shouted in concern, and her hands kept moving.

Click!

As soon as his eyes lit up, a tongue of fire burst out, and Yue Guan leaned back suddenly, it turned out that he was too close in a hurry, and almost burned his hair.

Bright, bright?

The flames reflected in her eyes, and the orange light spread over her dull expression.

It's on!

Yueguan breathed a sigh of relief, this little bean flame injected a trace of courage into her in the darkness.

What's going on? Yueguan looked around.

No one answered in the silence.

The fire was bright and extinguished like a broken candle, illuminating this small square world, Yueguan clasped his thumb tightly on the lighter and did not dare to let go, trying to start walking around the house.

On the wall facing the staircase in the small hall on the second floor is a mural that occupies a large area of the wall, the content of the painting is a picture of a hundred birds towards the phoenix, all the birds are prostrate on the ground, only the phoenix in the front has a high head, the long phoenix is lifelike, the eyes are arrogant, the light and shadow are intertwined, the dim light shines on the phoenix, giving people the illusion that he is laughing, especially terrifying.

But if you look closely, it's still the same painting.

Yueguan's gaze moved downward, and at that moment, her heart jumped to her throat, and she blocked there and suppressed an exclamation.

Under the picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix, on the two armchairs with black lacquer and gold Western flowers and grass patterns placed on the Nanmu coffee table, I don't know when a person sat down, looking at her intently.

It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like it was just a moment, Yue Guan looked at it again, it was empty, and there was no one, and what he saw was like an illusion.

Yue Guan decided to go downstairs to have a look, find the door as soon as possible and leave, just two steps downstairs, she looked back and looked over like a ghost, this look is not tight, Yue Guan was covered in sweat and hair, this time I really saw a person sitting there, wrapped in darkness, picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and took a sip, looked at her, grinned.

Are you laughing, Yue Guan thought in a daze, and couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality for a while.
