Boys wouldn't be interested in this kind of object, especially this box, which is more like a girl's vanity box. But he just can't help it, I don't know why.

It may be the beautiful pattern on it, or it may be other reasons, Chen Mu can't say it for the time being, but he just wants to take it home immediately, and he doesn't want to miss such a good thing.

"How much is this?" Chen Mu pointed to the wooden box to the vendor.

Still grinning, the peddler reached out and gestured to a scissorhands, "200?"

The next moment, the hesitation on Chen Mu's face was immediately caught by the hawker, "100 okay?"

"Good. Chen Mu was a little surprised, he hesitated because he thought the price was too low.

But looking at the hawker's expression, it was still as if he had earned it, and he first collected the money handed over by Chen Mu before giving the wooden box to Chen Mu.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

Money talks.

Chen Mu didn't mind, in his opinion, loving money is just the right nature of a gentleman, and there is no need to judge.

Chen Mu held the wooden box he had just bought in his hand and continued to walk towards his home in the depths of the alley......

Behind him, the ghost market, which had been bustling with activity, slowly began to dissipate, and the alleyways became quiet again, as if no one had ever visited.

A cat with sharp eyes jumped down from the nearby city wall, and as it passed through the alleyway, it barked twice more as if frightened, and then fled.

The night was quiet, and the lights in the alleyway were completely extinguished, and the darkness reverted to as if it had been washed by ink.

It's dawn.

Chen Mu rubbed his eyes and woke up naturally, he slept soundly last night, and he didn't hear an alarm clock. Fortunately, today is Saturday, otherwise, it will definitely delay things.

It's been a long time since he was so presumptuous, Chen Mu is an extremely introspective person, he gets up every day in the 6 stores that can't be shaken, eats breakfast, runs and exercises, and then reads books, and finishes the work first when he has extra work. She has no other social interactions, and if her life is not filled like this, she will feel very empty.

I picked up my phone and looked at it, and it was already 12 noon.

Let's be presumptuous!

After struggling for nearly ten minutes, after completing the psychological redemption, Chen Mu finally let go of the guilt in his heart.

Opening the refrigerator to prepare for lunch, it was empty, and Chen Mu decided to go to the supermarket first. A rough man, he didn't wash up, took a coat and prepared to go out.

As he picked up the car keys, he caught a glimpse of a wooden box on the table, and he was surprised.

Chen Mu felt strange, he had never been the kind of person who attracted attention, but from the moment he got out of the car, there were people who kept looking at him all the way, staring intently, as if looking at a monster...... That feeling made him feel a little hairy.

Although he didn't know what was going on, this feeling made him feel suffocated, making him feel that he had done something wrong, Chen Mu just wanted to finish shopping in the supermarket quickly and go home and hide.

I don't know what attracted Chen Mu to the wooden box, he pushed open the door, put down the things he bought from outside, and just stared at it uncontrollably.

At this time, I forgot when I was brought back by myself, as if it was a long, long time ago.

The wooden box was placed on the table, and it looked peaceful.

Chen Mu walked up to him and squatted in front of the table, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes.

Is it trembling slightly?

Chen Mu hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, he didn't find anything abnormal.

He held the box in his hand, the fine peach wood, carved with dancing fairies, the posture is strange, people are not shallow, at the same time, Chen Mu tentatively opened the box......

"Jingle Bell~"

The doorbell rang at this time, I don't know who it was, Chen Mu wanted to look at the wooden box first, and then go to pick up the people outside the door, but the people who came seemed to be in a hurry, the doorbell rang one after another, Chen Mu was afraid of delay, so he put down the wooden box.

The door opened, and a human head that was more than half shorter than himself came in from outside, and Chen Mu reflected for a while, until he saw the woman standing behind her, and then he reacted.

"Why are you here?"

The child in front of him had already gotten in one step ahead of the woman, and he ran to the sofa to turn on the TV, and when he came in, he politely called grandpa.

Women are not used to it.

"I'm here to see you, you...... What's wrong with you?" the woman suddenly looked at Chen Mu, as if she had seen something terrible.

"What's wrong with me?" Chen Mu didn't seem to understand what the woman meant.

He began to have mixed feelings in his heart again, this feeling, the same as when he went shopping during the day, others felt the same way about him, could it be that something was wrong with him?

Thinking of this, Chen Mu didn't care about the woman in front of him and rushed directly into the bathroom.

Is that still yourself?

Looking at the extremely old face in front of the mirror, there were knife marks everywhere, which were more tragic than the sword light and sword shadow coming out of the battlefield, and it was a little terrifying.

Chen Mu is only 28 years old this year, even if he doesn't usually like to pamper himself, he won't be like this.

What Chen Mu could imagine was either a refugee or an underworld, which would have such significant characteristics.

His heart is actually quite calm, after all, his temperament is too steady, and it is almost impossible for a surprise to happen to him.

Chen Mu stroked the scars on his face with his hand, there was no pain, as if it was just painted, he quickly turned on the faucet, washed his face, and then looked at himself in the mirror, no change.

Some of them pulled a towel next to him, wiped it indiscriminately, wiped the water stains dry, and walked out.

When he left the bathroom, a face as terrifying as Chen Mu appeared in the mirror that had been used, but soon, as the mirror rippled, it disappeared.

The woman outside the door had already entered the door and sat on the sofa, the child was watching a cartoon, and Chen Mu also sat down, and there was no superfluous expression on his face, even if he saw such a terrifying face.

"Why are you here?" Chen Mu continued.

"Oh, I'm going to open a shop near Liudao, I know that you are still living here, so I want to settle down first, and when it is done over there in a few days, I will move out, you can rest assured, I will not stay here forever. ”

The woman spoke a little cautiously, seeing Chen Mu's appearance just now, she also knew what was wrong with him, she was very considerate and didn't ask anything.

"Where's your stuff?"

"On the road, in a few days. ”

"Where's the shop?"

"It's close, right outside in that alley. ”

......

The two briefly exchanged other things, and Chen Mu went in to help the mother and son clean up the room.

The woman looked at the child in front of her, who was not noisy, and felt a little distressed for a while, touched her forehead, and kissed her.

The TV is playing the joy and the big wolf, the most terrifying part, the lamb was thrown into the pot of fire by the big gray wolf, the wolf is desperately adding firewood to the fire, looking at a group of panicked lambs, but the children are laughing happily......

You can't blame the children for having such evil intentions, in their eyes, they always believe that the little lamb will eventually defeat the evil wolf, so in their eyes, all the process is witty, ridiculous, and not worthy of judgment.

But in the eyes of adults, their world no longer believes that good will eventually triumph over evil, so simple cartoons, in their eyes, are like black fairy tales.

Does anyone believe in fairy tales?

Or, are there any adults who still rely on fairy tales for solace?

I think the answer is definitely no.

Cinderella, which is about the rebellion of a domestic violence family;

Snow White, about the encounter between seven men and an innocent girl;

The ugly duckling is about a microcosm of society in which identity determines attitudes;

......

I once knew a man who wrote a black fairy tale, and all the blood-soaked facts would show Donald Duck's kind face in his pen, but as long as a passing adult read it, it was a ghost story with the skin peeled.

Chen Mu laid out the room and came out to beckon the two of them to rest, the little sheep on the TV had not yet defeated the big bad wolf, so he was pressed to pause, and the girl walked into the room first obediently, and said politely, "Thank you, grandpa!"

The little girl didn't deliberately reject Chen Mu because of his terrifying appearance, she just ....... Can't recognize yourself.

The woman also seemed to notice this, and some felt embarrassed to face Chen Mu.

"Is he okay?" Chen Mu knew that she had no intention of sleeping for the time being, so he simply sat down and broke the silence.

"We separated. The woman looked a little deflated.

"When?"

"Early in the morning. ”

The woman paused again, "I didn't want to tell you. ”

Chen Mu let out an "oh" to show understanding.

The two of them are always like this, as polite as two-way bosses, and it is also this kind of politeness that makes them feel depressed by each other.

Even if they are married and have children, they are very different from each other, the price of food, clothing, housing and transportation must be absolutely AA, and the placement of the residence must be absolutely fair...... Even if you are wronged, you will never let the other party suffer, and once the other party suffers, you will feel uncomfortable.

Sometimes, two people don't know whether they met the right person, or simply found a partner, or maybe they should blame both people's personalities!

In the room, the little girl looked through the crack in the door and looked at the two of them outside the door, and her eyes showed a deep meaning that she should not have at her age.

What kind of person are you?

The hands rotate constantly, making strange noises at each hour.

Chen Mu didn't think it before, but now it sounds a little scary.

It's half past two in the morning, and I still can't sleep, still thinking about the daytime, thinking about everyone's reaction, thinking about my appearance, what's going on?

There was only one person in the room, and his ex-wife and children were next door, but Chen Mu did hear the sound of people breathing.

The breath was still a little short, and it was towards his neck, and the breath kept gushing over, Chen Mu fell asleep on his side, the terrible thing was behind him, and the cold sweat kept rising, but he didn't dare to turn around to look.

Chen Mu thinks that he is quite bold, and he is not afraid to walk at night or break into a haunted house, but at this moment, he is a little hairy in his heart, if he really does something, can he win?

I have issued many questions in a row, proving that my heart is empty, and my usual self will not be intimidated to ask the world.

I didn't dare to look at it, closed my eyes tightly, and tried to pull the quilt, but some couldn't pull it, and sure enough, there was someone.

That breath was getting closer and closer, and the other party's body seemed to be about to touch him, and he even sensed the temperature.

It stands to reason that there shouldn't be a temperature, aren't all ghosts cold? It seems that ancient sayings and novels are really deceitful, how can all ghosts be cold like drowned?

"Daddy~" A voice came from behind him.

The ghost shouted "Daddy", and seeing that Chen Mu didn't dare to answer, he shouted again.

Chen Mu turned around at this time, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and saw the little girl half-squatting on the side of the bed, her head was close to Chen Mu, looking a little frightened, but after all, it was his daughter.

Chen Mu sat up, carried his daughter to the bed, and put it beside him.

"Mom said that Daddy is not Grandpa, and that you are injured and I want to sleep with Daddy. ”

"Okay, sleep with Daddy. Chen Mu looked at his daughter, and felt a little guilty for a while.

As if nothing had happened just now, Chen Mu finally overcame his fear and fell asleep.

In the same room, the man's voice grew louder, breaking the silence.

The little girl beside the man never slept, she stared at the ceiling with a pair of wooden bead-like eyes, as if she was attracted by something, and did not want to sleep for a long time.

"Daddy~"
