Chapter 1: Advent
It was another late autumn, Mu Han walked on the street, looked at the fallen leaves on the side of the road, and sighed heavily.
It's been four months since I graduated from college, but I still have no idea about my future, and now I stay in that cheap rental house and make ends meet, doing odd jobs every day to make ends meet, and I can't even raise the courage to go home to my parents.
I still remember how I swore to my parents that I wouldn't go back until I broke out of the day, and now I think about it carefully...... My face really hurts.
Just like that, while melancholy, he walked, and before he knew it, he landed in his dilapidated rental house.
This is the second floor, if you don't consider its actual decoration and years, in fact, the environment here is still excellent, at least through the window Mu Han can see a forest that only exists in the park. Of course, it would be better if there wasn't that much garbage in it.
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon appeared in the sky early, but it is a little different from the past.
It was a round round of bright red, and after watching it for a long time, it couldn't help but make people feel a little depressed.
The red moon Mu Han has not seen before, when he was a child, he forgot the time when he was playing in the countryside, and when he looked up and saw the blood-red moon, he was almost scared, and he was laughed at by his parents after crying his father and calling his mother.
It's really funny now that I think about it, the blood moon is just a normal astronomical phenomenon, and it almost scared my young self out of it.
But today was different, Mu Han swore that he had never seen such a bright red moon, bright as if it was dripping blood.
But it's just a little bit of a sigh and a little puzzle. Anyway, no matter what blood moon he is, whether he is red or not has nothing to do with his current self, after so many years of scientific materialism education, Mu Han doesn't care about what the appearance of this blood moon means auspicious, evil and good fortune, and his heart is still depressed about his slim future.
Mu Han didn't drink alcohol originally, at least not much, even if he was at the previous class reunion, he only ordered it, not because he didn't want to lose his classmates, but because he simply didn't like the feeling of getting drunk.
But today is different, Mu Han's melancholy for no reason, and boredom for no reason, actually faintly rose a trace of wanting to get drunk and rest.
When he goes out alone, he can do whatever he wants, anyway, it is not a heinous crime of murder and arson, Mu Han took two steps and found three bottles of beer from the corner of the room, or he put away the rest that he drank with his roommate when he graduated.
Three bottles?
Looking at the beer he found, Mu Han smiled bitterly, even if he couldn't drink enough, it would definitely be impossible to get drunk with three bottles.
Forget it, I have to go to work tomorrow, and it's not good to get too drunk, and besides, drinking alone under the blood moon is a bit eerie to think about.
After opening a bottle of beer, Mu Han walked to the window, opened the window, and the autumn breeze outside the house blew in, which made him feel excited.
Grunt......
After swallowing the beer, there was a faint trace of tears in Mu Han's eyes. He is not a pessimistic person, but the real life of the past four months has polished his sharpness and hope to almost clean, and his life at two o'clock a day is muddy, and the great ambitions of the past are like a passing cloud, hazy to the point that they cannot be touched.
After two more sips of beer, looking at the moon in the sky that was getting higher and higher, Mu Han flipped out his mobile phone to open the contact, his eyes stayed on his parents for a long time, his thumb moved up and down, and he still didn't have the courage to get through these two familiar calls.
Jingle Clank ......Clank
As if he had a heart, Mu Han didn't press the dial button, but his father's phone came.
After hesitating, Mu Han still connected.
"Hey, Dad?" Mu Han wiped his nose to alleviate his nasal voice due to his sadness.
"Son, how are you doing? The people in the company didn't bully you, right?" A kind and majestic voice came from the phone, which warmed Mu Han's heart.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, as if his father was right in front of him, Mu Han said: "How can it, my colleagues are all fine, it's too late to help me, a newcomer, how can I be bullied?"
"It's good that you don't bully. Mu Han heard that the father on the other end of the phone was also laughing, and there was a faint hint of his mother's complaining voice, as if he was complaining about why he asked his son such a question.
"Haha! Your mother asked me to ask you if you have eaten well lately, don't just eat instant noodles or something, it's unhealthy. Go find a big restaurant to eat, or learn to do it yourself, don't be afraid if you have no money at the beginning of your career, you have it at home!"
"Of course I eat well, the company has working meals, and the money is enough. "Mu Han didn't lie, he just changed to a part-time job two weeks ago, he was originally doing mobile phone sales, and then his performance was not good and he was persuaded to retire with kindness, that is, he opened it, and now he can only mix in a small restaurant to brush dishes and manage lunch.
"Don't just talk about me, how about you two elders, it shouldn't be possible to give me a little brother or sister or something, right?" chatted with his father for a few words, although most of them were lying to others, Mu Han's mood was indeed a lot better, and he remembered joking with his father.
"Go, bastard even your dad dares to joke, where can you have that kind of interest when you're old. Besides, didn't I tell you earlier, your dad had that kind of surgery...... Forget it, forget it, bastard will block your dad and me, if you have something to say, I'll hang up if you don't have anything to say!" The old man was pulled out some bad memories by Mu Han's words, and immediately blackened his face and wanted to hang up the phone.
"Don't, let my mom answer the phone. Mu Han said with a hippie smile, he didn't dare to say it when he didn't call, and after the phone was connected, he felt like he couldn't finish talking.
"Okay. Daddy Mu responded very happily, not at all angry at all. Then Mu Han heard a slight voice on the other side of the phone, saying something like asking you to answer.
"Hey, Hanhan, just now I asked my dad to remind you to pay attention to your body, this old man is talking nonsense except that you should eat well. Obviously, Mu's mother took the phone, and there was Mu Han's father's scolding voice on the other end, all kinds of disgusting women and troubles, and calling him an old man. Is he old? Strong and more like a cow, he can easily go up to the second floor with a gas canister, can this be called old?
Mu Han's smile became even stronger, listening to his parents complaining to each other, but there was a deep homely atmosphere, warm and beautiful, which diluted a lot of the gloom in his heart.
After chatting with his mother for a while, most of them were paying attention to his body, and Mu Han hung up the phone.
I lied to my family that I had found a stable job with a professional counterpart, but I just didn't want them to worry, otherwise I would be sad to think that the second elder had worked hard for him to go out of college, and he could only find some odd jobs to make ends meet.
Call......
Mu Han finally took a sip of beer, put the remaining two bottles up again, and after a phone call, he was in a much better mood, and he didn't have the idea of getting drunk.
The autumn wind was still a little biting, and Mu Han, who had just finished putting out the beer, shivered, and turned around to close the window again. I was stunned the moment I looked up, and a blood moon did not rise to the right sky, but only hung in seven-tenths of half of the sky, and the bright colors were a little too dazzling.
was stunned, his chest suddenly felt a little hot, and Mu Han took out the things hidden in his shirt in surprise. It was a piece of thin red jade, which he picked up in the field when he was a child, and Father Mu thought it was a mascot, so he kept wearing it on his body.
But at the beginning, this jade was milky white, but now it is red and hot, and it is somewhat similar to the moon in the sky, and it emits a faint fluorescence, which is extremely mysterious.
Gradually, Mu Han felt that the windows in front of him, the woods, the starry sky, the moon, everything was blurred, his mind was messy, his body began to weaken, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground.
His consciousness became more and more blurred, until the moment before everything fell into darkness, he remembered the origin of the blood jade, what he picked up in the field, it was simply after seeing the blood moon when he was a child, in his yard, on the top of the tall poplar tree, there was this mysterious thin jade......
I don't know how long it took, Mu Han only felt that he had slept for a while, and he didn't wake up until a strong wind blew on his face.
Whether the body was upright, or standing with his chest hugged, this made Mu Han a little surprised, and there was an unnatural feeling in his chest......
Mu Han opened his eyes suddenly, but it was not the window of the rental house in front of him, not even at night.
There is only a man with long hair in the field of vision, a Chinese face, a scar on the right half that leads from his cheek to the corner of his mouth, a long knife in his right hand, and an ancient costume.
What's the situation?
Mu Han was completely stunned, and his head was still constantly replaying the blood moon in the sky at seven points, and the blood jade with a ghostly light all over his body...... It's just to open your eyes, why has the world changed?
"Sister Fairy, help!"
Before Mu Han could react, a crisp girlish voice came from behind her, but her title made her even more stunned, what the hell is Sister Fairy?
Mu Han turned his head, there was indeed a girl less than a meter behind him, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate face, a small cherry mouth and a slightly baby fat face, which looked very cute. However, it is also dressed by the ancients, and the long hair is tied in a slightly complicated-looking bun.
Uh, what about the so-called fairy sister?
"Sister Fairy, you must have come to save me, right? Woo woo, this bad guy has been chasing me for a long time!" Seeing Mu Han turn around, the girl said excitedly, and pretended to be pitiful and whined a few times, "You suddenly appeared, and you are so beautiful, you must be very powerful, isn't it?"
Looking at the girl's eager eyes and words, and then thinking of the not so good touch on his chest just now, Mu Han had an ominous premonition......
