Starting from the Red Moon

"Although I don't know when I will be a regular employee, this income is already very high..."

"With a fixed salary of 5,000 yuan per month, plus the 1,000 yuan I can get from the company, I can earn 6,000 yuan!"

"Now there are tasks that need to be investigated or cleared, and there are additional rewards..."

"The reward for clearing a level one mental monster is 30,000 yuan, and the reward for level two is 300,000 yuan..."

"Even if you don't count the task rewards, the 6,000 yuan I earn from my two jobs every month is already a lot. After deducting 500 yuan for food, there is still 5,500 yuan left, which is 66,000 yuan a year, and 660,000 yuan in ten years..."

"We have to move to the elementary school as soon as possible. The water and electricity supply where they live is not timely, and it is too close to the high wall, which is very dangerous. I have inquired before that if I buy a large house far away from the high wall that can accommodate a teacher, a security guard, and a dozen children, it will cost more than one million yuan. If I save 5,500 yuan a month, then..."

"It will take at most fifteen years to save up..."

"..."

Lu Xin calculated this in his mind, and suddenly felt full of hope.

He is still young, fifteen years is enough.

What's more, if he takes on more tasks each time, he can earn more generous rewards?

Of course, there are many problems, such as he has to get a regular job quickly. If he doesn't, what if he is fired at any time?

If everything goes well, then he can not only buy a big house faster, but also save more money for himself, and even take Xiaolu teacher to the main city to find a doctor in a big hospital to cure her leg.

...

...

Thinking about this, Lu Xin got off the car, in a good mood, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly on the road.

When he was about to return to the apartment, he stopped, and he was not in a hurry to go back now.

"Brother, what are you doing? Mom and Dad are waiting for you to come back for dinner!"

A voice came from the street lamp next to him. Lu Xin looked up and saw his sister sitting on the horizontal pole of the street lamp, holding the little bear that was put together in her arms. Her two slender legs swayed in the night wind, and she had a mysterious smile on her face.

"Sister, I just have something to discuss with you!"

Lu Xin pondered, slowly raised his head, looked at his sister on the street lamp, and said: "I just got a new job, I can earn a lot more money than before, and I can rebuild our previous home. I really want to do it, but this job may require a lot of abilities, I want to ask..." He paused slightly and said: "Can you lend me your abilities?"

"Lend me my abilities?"

The sister on the street lamp smiled, her smile was a little weird: "Brother, what can you exchange with me?"

Lu Xin thought about it, and asked tentatively: "Screaming chicken?"

The smile on the sister's face disappeared, and her figure became a little blurry, as if she would disappear at any time.

Lu Xin hurriedly shouted: "Wait, wait, let's discuss it..."

Now that I have found this new job, it seems that I can make a lot of money, so of course I have to do it well.

And the first thing to do in this job is to deal with this sister...

Although the sister was stopped by him, she was still angry and didn't say anything, just looking at him dimly.

Lu Xin was also a little helpless, and asked tentatively: "What kind of toy do you want?"

"You know..."

Looking at Lu Xin's serious expression, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on her face. She jumped lightly and landed beside Lu Xin like a light spider. She squatted on the ground and looked up and said: "I want that kind of fun toy!"

Lu Xin frowned slightly.

The sister's eyes lit up at this time and looked forward.

Under the dim light of the street lamp, there was a drunk man leaning against the corner to drain the water.

The younger sister's eyes lit up, with a strange cruel expression, and she said: "I like toys that can move and talk. I like complete toys, because only complete toys can be torn apart and sewn again..."

"Brother, can you give me this toy?"

"As long as you give it to me, I will lend you my ability..."

"..."

"Don't hurt people all the time..."

Lu Xin looked at the man who had just finished draining the water and kicked the trash can, and whispered: "It's illegal!"

The younger sister's smile seemed a little cruel, and she whispered: "Then why can others hurt me?"

Lu Xin didn't know how to answer for a while.

He looked at his sister's delicate little face, which seemed to have a mismatched crack at this time, and his eyes were a little painful.

"If you don't want me to hurt others, then you can lend yourself to me as a toy to play with for a while..."

The younger sister looked into his eyes, and her smile became weird.

Lu Xin could only remain silent. He did not answer or refuse, watching his sister's pointed fingers reaching out to him.

The fingertips were delicate and sharp, as if they had invisible magic.

If they were touched on a person, terrible consequences would occur.

But when his sister's fingers were reaching out to Lu Xin little by little, they suddenly became slow.

The fingers did not penetrate into Lu Xin's body, but just slid gently across his back. Through his clothes, he could feel a long scar there, which was hideous and terrifying. He could imagine how serious the injury that caused this scar was.

"Brother has always been a fool..."

The younger sister lowered her voice and whispered: "When others hurt me, you are the only one who rushes to protect me!"

The strange expression on her face became gentle, like a simple little girl, soft and weak. She stretched out both hands, but did not hurt Lu Xin, but hugged him, and her little face seemed to be buried in Lu Xin's body. Lu Xin saw her small body trembling slightly, as if she was crying very hard, but in this deserted alley, no crying could be heard.

Lu Xin looked at his sister crying like that, and after a long time, he sighed softly.

Some things, dreams and reality are intertwined, fantasy and reality are superimposed, he can no longer distinguish them clearly.

After a while, he gently held his sister's shoulders and said with a smile: "Sister, do you know that I am different from before?"

Sister's dirty little face still had tears, but she could no longer hide her curious look: "What?"

"I just found another job, I have money!"

Lu Xin said seriously: "So I can't give you toys like that, but I can take you to buy toys!"

He raised his hand and pointed to the busy street in the distance, saying: "Buy as much as you want, buy whatever you want!"

"Okay?"

Sister listened, her eyes also brightened slightly, as if she had forgotten the sadness just now.

She smiled on her tear-stained little face and nodded vigorously.

"..."

The money used to deal with the first-level spiritual monster pollution in the coffee shop has been left in the Red Moon Orphanage, but Lu Xin has some savings from the past few years of working, more than 2,000 yuan. Lu Xin found a shabby ATM and took out all the money in the card. Then he took his sister's hand and came to the street with the most shops in the old city.

Anyway, after getting a new job, he can earn more.

Barbie dolls wearing exquisite dresses, cute bears, puppets with movable joints, plush babies that shout "kiss, hug, lift high" when squeezed... Lu Xin bought many toys in one breath, from the beginning to the end of the street. Some were accumulated before the Red Moon incident and were found and sold by people, and some were newly processed by the factory after the Red Moon incident.

He ignored everyone's gazes and didn't feel bad about the money... Anyway, he would spend it all...

As long as his sister nodded in agreement or saw it, he would buy it all.

He also knew that others couldn't see his sister. When he talked to his sister or walked with her, he would receive some strange looks. He would pay attention to it normally, but he didn't care at all today.

He just tried his best to satisfy his sister's wish.

At the end, he was carrying four or five bags in his hands, a few big bears on his back, and a bunch of toys under his arms. Under the strange looks of the people around him, he brought his sister to the bridge at the head of the river, and all the toys were piled up.

The sister sat surrounded by toys, her eyes shining.

She twisted the head of the Barbie doll off, pulled off its legs, dug out the eyes of the bear, tore its body in half, swapped the arms and legs of the puppet, and took out the batteries from the plush baby that could only shout "kiss, hug, lift up high"... She tore and destroyed these toys to her heart's content, with an unprecedented expression of satisfaction on her face.

Lu Xin leaned on the railing next to him, smoking a cigarette, and quietly looked at his sister.

"I'm very happy, brother!"

At the end, the sister raised her head and smiled beautifully.

Lu Xin finally put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Then you will lend me your power, right?"

The younger sister stood up from a pile of broken toys and smiled at Lu Xin with shining eyes:

"My silly brother, don't you know that you can actually use my ability by force?"

"..."

"I know!"

Lu Xin was silent for a while and replied: "But I still want to ask you!"

A truly happy smile suddenly appeared on the sister's distorted face, and then she stretched out her slender palm to Lu Xin.

"When you need me, I will be by your side!"

Looking into his sister's eyes, Lu Xin stretched out his hand seriously.

"Snap!"

Under the red moon, he and his sister's little hands gently clapped, as if making an agreement.
