For example, elders' concerns about younger generations are often condensed into a single sentence: "You've really lost weight from hunger."
Famine is not only etched in history, but also in the culture of Liyue.
Culture has been passed down from generation to generation, reminding every Liyue resident of the importance of food.
Every evening at dinner time, the people of Liyue would unanimously return home to eat the dinner prepared by themselves or their families.
Therefore, this is the time when the streets are most deserted, and people walking on the street always feel abandoned.
Slowly, Mu Xian walked to the street outside the Hall of Rebirth.
Looking down from the street, the entire gate appeared dimly lit, and there was still no ferryman outside.
—According to Hu Tao's words... the Hall of Rebirth wouldn't be so lacking in appearance.
Perhaps he was tired from walking, Mu Xian sat down on the steps in front of the gate.
The warm yellow light gradually turned cool; it was the moonlight that belonged to tonight.
The moonlight did not reach the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, and Mu Xian and the entire corner appeared dim.
Mu Xian glanced up once and then looked away, showing no intention of entering the Hall of Rebirth.
Having already spent the entire night outside, Mu Xian didn't see any problem in staying another night.
Thinking of this, I leaned against the door and was about to close my eyes and fall asleep, but then I opened them again the next moment.
Mu Xian heard the slight noises coming from the surroundings.
Although the commotion was minor, it seemed unusually abnormal in the ancestral hall.
Hearing the noise, Mu Xian did not move; he simply opened his eyes and stared quietly ahead.
Soon, a figure appeared in front of Mu Xian, seemingly unaware of Mu Xian, and sneaked into the streets of Liyue.
The appearance of the figure made Mu Xian grip the hilt of his knife, but when the moonlight shone on the figure's face, Mu Xian loosened his grip.
He got up, walked towards the figure, and slapped it hard on the back.
"Aja?" Mu Xian asked, "What are you doing here?"
A sudden tap from behind startled Aja.
Turning to look at the person who had come, Aja breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother!?"
Aja said, "So you're back."
Mu Xian didn't say anything, but instead observed A Jia from head to toe.
At this moment, he was wearing the clothes of the Hall of Rebirth, clearly indicating that he was really unable to make a living there anymore.
Of course, what Mu Xian should pay more attention to is his increasingly tense expression.
Logically speaking, when someone is startled but recognizes Mu Xian, their entire face should completely relax.
"Is there something you're hiding from me?"
"Brother, what are you saying?"
Mu Xian didn't speak, but instead narrowed his eyes.
This time, Mu Xian not only saw Aja's nervous expression, but also his evasive eyes.
The Hall of Rebirth remained as quiet as ever, but this quietness seemed to carry something else within it.
Even after becoming an employee of the Rebirth Hall, Aja was still easily frightened.
Aja glanced around discreetly, then lowered his voice.
"Brother, Elder Zhongli said he can't tell you."
"But who told you to be my older brother?"
Mu Xian does not acknowledge this one-sided relationship.
Of course, I didn't want to interrupt Aja's next words because of this relationship.
“Zhongli Keqing asked me to send some things to the hall master.”
As he spoke, Aja took out a wooden glass lily from his bosom.
Before he could fully reveal the item, Mu Xian snatched it away.
Seeing the small prop back in his hands, Mu Xian quickly put it into his pocket.
Where is Zhongli now?
His tone was as cold as before, but Aja felt that the temperature around him had dropped considerably.
However, Aja had heard from the young female attendant that in addition to the visible people, there were also some invisible people in the Hall of Rebirth.
Aja shuddered at the thought and looked around fearfully.
Seeing that he really couldn't see anything, Aja answered Mu Xian's question.
“Zhongli, the guest minister, left a long time ago.”
"What about Master Hu?"
Mu Xian pressed on, "Where is Hu Tao now?"
Aja wanted to say he didn't know, but after seeing Mu Xian's gaze, he changed his mind.
“Zhongli Keqing said that all I need to do is place the item at the entrance of the Layered Rock Abyss.”
Mu Xian looked at A Jia, but this time Mu Xian did not see the evasive look in his eyes.
"I see."
Having confirmed all this, Mu Xian turned around and said, "I'll go to the Layered Rock Abyss for you."
Aja hadn't been happy for long after realizing someone was running errands for him when he heard Mu Xian's voice again.
"The Hall of Rebirth needs someone to stand guard outside the door. You can stand here tonight."
"Huh?! Big brother, how about..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Xian had already disappeared from Aja's sight.
"Really..."
A muttered voice came from outside the gate: "Why does everyone at the Hall of Rebirth seem so strange, except for Mr. Zhongli..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Aja shivered again.
This time, he felt the temperature had dropped significantly again...
The girl on the hospital bed moved her fingers and opened her eyes the next moment.
As I got up, I saw a patch of moonlight outside the window, which quickly fell onto my wrist.
Her wrist was bare, without the red string she used to wear.
"Are you awake?"
A gentle voice came from not far away, and the blue-haired man with glasses raised his head from the table.
"You just fainted; there's nothing seriously wrong with your body."
"Thank you."
Shen He thanked him and asked, "Did you bring me back?"
Bai Shu stood up and then shook his head.
"It's Qiqi."
"Qiqi?"
Shen He murmured to himself, and soon saw a head peeking out from under his bed.
"It's me and the big magpie~"
"A large tufted sparrow?"
"Hmm~, I saw you with the big magpie~"
Qiqi nodded: "The big round sparrow isn't round~, but it's soft~..."
"It's so warm~, but Qiqi doesn't dislike it at all."
"Is it warm?"
"indeed..."
The right hand, which is not tied with a red string, is made into a fist.
—It's quite warm.
goooo~
"Excuse me, do you have a tranquilizer here?"
Chapter 114 A Contract That Is Not a Contract
For Mu Xian, apart from Hu Tao's elusive parents, Zhong Li was probably the most mysterious person.
A vast knowledge of everything and inexplicable power...
However, Mu Xian didn't have much affection for Zhong Li.
A contract that inexplicably took effect, and then inexplicably becoming an employee of the Hall of Past Events...
Even though the moon illuminated the clear surroundings, Mu Xian felt a slight tightness in his chest.
After passing through a nearly abandoned mining area and clearing out some treasure-hunting groups and monsters along the way, Mu Xian finally arrived at the entrance to the Layered Rock Abyss.
A figure stood at the entrance to the abyss, but it was not the person Mu Xian had expected.
"You came."
Zhong Li said.
For some reason, after hearing those words, Mu Xian felt even more suffocated.
