Mystery: The whole good living master

There are four seasons in Stardew Valley in a year, and each season lasts 28 days. If converted to the Mystical World, each season lasts three months. Normally, spring corresponds to January to March, the first to the tenth day correspond to January, the eleventh to the eighteenth day correspond to February, and the nineteenth to the twenty-eighth day correspond to March. However, Mu Fan Ge wanted to dance with the cat, so he arbitrarily moved the Flower Dance Festival on the twenty-fourth day forward, so that there would be both Easter and the Flower Dance Festival in February.

After all, flowers cannot decide when to bloom, nor can they participate in the All-Mongolian Congress. Flowers have no choice.

As a cultural promotion ambassador, Mu Fan Ge has the sole right of recording and interpretation.

Sucaplia Farm is quite far from Tingen. It takes at least a day and a night to get there by steam train. It would be inappropriate to stay there for only one day after such a long journey.

So the two young men, each with their own ulterior motives, decided to stay on the farm for a while.

But Klein couldn't leave without saying goodbye. His brother was still on a business trip, and even if he came back, he wouldn't stay at home for long. He might have to go on a business trip again soon, and he couldn't leave his sister alone at home for a long time. On weekdays, Klein would go home at least once a week.

Mu Fange didn't think it was a big problem. Sucapria Farm was very large and could easily bring Melissa and Benson along. They would have a place to live and food to eat.

So the next morning, the two of them left the dormitory again and went back to the Moretti house, trying to persuade Melissa, and then took Melissa to the farm to play!

(Wait, where did you sleep last night?)

…………

Benson did not sleep well that night. A beautiful woman with a mature figure and unclear face was hugging the innocent Klein and wandering around in Benson's dream, occasionally emitting bursts of devilish evil laughter.

“Benson… your eyes are a little scary…” Melissa shrank her shoulders. Perhaps because he didn’t sleep well, Benson looked a little nervous and anxious. He walked around the small room like a stereotyped animal in a zoo.

Benson's eyebrows knitted together: "I still feel something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Melissa didn't take last night's incident to heart at all.

"Klein's...female friend." Benson weighed in.

“They are not female friends.” Melissa reiterated in a formal tone, as this was an important event in her brother’s life: “They are obviously in a romantic relationship. I can see that they like each other.”

"This doesn't make sense... I always feel like something is wrong. Maybe it's just my intuition." Benson's eyes were filled with hidden wisdom. "Maybe I need to meet her in person to get the answer."

"Before that, I'd like to know some details, such as when the girl first met Klein."

"It's not a good idea to ask about such private details..." Although Melissa was also curious about the beautiful sister, her reason and self-control prevented her from making impolite inquiries.

Benson raised his hand and scratched his temples. He was the older of the three siblings and had the conservative and responsible attitude of the Loen people when it came to relationships. "Although relationships are between lovers, marriage is different. Marriage is a long-term and responsible choice that involves two families. If Klein wants to continue this relationship, it's normal for his family to consider the other party."

“That’s right.” Melissa nodded worriedly: “But if you ask directly, it will definitely scare the girl. What if your guess is wrong? Almana is a very gentle and delicate person. She…”

"I...how is that possible? Ahem, I'm still very gentlemanly." Benson raised the corners of his mouth awkwardly and deliberately.

Melissa pursed her lips slightly but didn't say anything.

The brother and sister boiled water, made hot tea, and shared a long loaf of black bread.

The rise of New Bailam and the Industrial Revolution undoubtedly made life difficult for some planters, but bread for the poor certainly became more affordable - it was now more like whole-wheat hardtack, strong, dry, and rich in starch and gluten.

After breakfast, Melissa tidied up the room briefly and sat at the desk to study an old book two fingers thick. The cover was printed with a gold-plated title: "Mechanical Dynamics Analysis", and below it was a cursive Loenese number "three". The desk was next to the window, and given the location of the Moretti family, the two hours of sunlight in the morning were very good, and Melissa didn't want to waste such good sunlight.

Benson took a basin to the public bathroom to wash the clothes he had taken off during the business trip. Melissa wanted to help her brother with this kind of housework, but Benson disagreed. He usually had a day and a half of subsidized vacation every time he came back from a business trip. In the past, Benson always used his vacation time to work overtime, but this time he decided to focus more on his family - because his younger brother Klein really gave him a big surprise... or perhaps a big shock.

His younger brother was already at the stage of getting married, but he, as the older brother, had no idea. This was really his dereliction of duty. No matter what reason Klein had kept it a secret from his family, it was definitely his fault! It must be that Benson failed to take good care of his younger siblings, which caused his younger brother to become alienated from his family. He even had to hide his relationship from his family... Benson reflected deeply on himself.

(I really can’t tell that you are still a brother-con)

…………

Mu Fange followed Klein and got on the public carriage. It was still the road leading to Moretti's house. Klein took Mu Fange through it again.

The winter sky is always covered with a layer of white clouds, and smoke from boiler combustion floats in the air. The sun's rays refract several times, and after losing their temperature, they fall on people, making them as cold as ever.

The seats of the public carriage were also cold. When Mu Fan Ge sat on them, he felt his mind was frozen clear.

Holding Klein's hand, Mu Fange felt inexplicably uneasy, not sure if it was because of the cold, nervousness, or excitement. It was a strange feeling he had never experienced before.

What kind of wonderful feeling is this?

Mu Fange was searching through his memories, it was like being caught red-handed for stealing his friend's snacks, or meeting each other again on another social software after saying good night... No, that would be another feeling. Mu Fange had never experienced it, so he couldn't describe it specifically.

If there is one that is closest to it, it should be: the feeling of buying a finished account from other players.

Mu Fange didn't understand why he suddenly thought of these things, but his intuition was always accurate. People like him who were not very smart usually relied on intuition.

Klein seemed to notice the nervousness of the people around him, and stretched out his fingertips to pinch Mu Fange's palm.

The public carriage was running on the track, and the wheels rubbed against the track, making a faint buzzing sound, and occasionally making a squeak at the connection.

Mu Fange looked out of the carriage window and saw the wrought iron window frames, painted stained glass windows, bare brick walls, and Victorian-style European buildings obscured by the haze emanating from factory chimneys. They were of varying heights and unevenness, like an ancient city sealed in history, so quiet and lifeless, like a sacrifice on the altar about to be swallowed by an evil god.

Why is that?

Why did Mu Fan Ge think in his heart that this was not a public carriage track, but a train to hell?

Is an evil god about to awaken here? At this point in time, theoretically, the plot of "Lord of Mysteries" has not yet begun. Is it the butterfly effect, or are there some hidden plots that are not written in the original work? Ince and the Aurora Society? The Witch Cult and the Loen Royal Family? Should we find a chance to contact them?

Where can I find members of the Aurora Society?

Mu Fan Ge looked out of the window and saw a short rope hanging from the edge of the tarpaulin of the public carriage. A copper bell was tied to the short rope. As the carriage moved forward, it left a small and bright sound on the road.

…………

Mu Fan Ge stood behind Klein, and Klein opened the door of the apartment.

Through the gap between the black cat and the door, you can just see a jackal hiding behind a red squirrel. The red squirrel's thin body naturally cannot stop a huge jackal, so the scene is quite funny.

Why is there a jackal in Moretti's house?

Klein walked in, his eyes suddenly brightening: "Benson? You're back from your business trip!"

It turned out that the jackal was Benson. Mu Fange subconsciously took a half step back and suddenly thought, why would Benson be a jackal?

Red squirrels, black cats and golden jackals - a really strange combination.

(A dragon and a crow family isn't much better, is it?)

Mu Fange's intuition was not wrong. When he followed Klein into the apartment rented by the Moretti family, as soon as he entered the door, Mu Fange understood where the previous feeling came from. He suddenly realized: this time he was really going to meet the parents.

Benson seemed even more nervous than Mu Fange. He grabbed Melissa's shoulders, crouched behind her, and watched Mu Fange warily.

Mu Fan Ge rubbed his eyes, bringing his vision back to reality.

"Hello, I'm Almana, you must be Benson, right? Melissa told me about you." Mu Fan Ge adjusted his mentality and faced Benson with Korishi's signature smile.

Benson grinned awkwardly, greeted "Almana" stiffly, shook hands, and then stood there awkwardly.

(Where’s your determination? Where’s your fighting spirit? Where’s your intuition?)

This is also difficult to describe specifically. Emperor Roselle once said that when one musters up the courage to do something for the first time, it is often easy to succeed. However, the second time one tries, one's strength will be significantly depleted. By the third time one tries, one's strength will basically be completely exhausted.

This theory may not be very appropriate, but it is very similar to Benson's current situation. When he is alert and tense, he may be able to debate with a lawyer, quarrel with a woman in the vegetable market, discuss cooperation with a vendor, or even study the world situation through newspapers and politicians... But it is difficult for Benson to yell at a female college student who is obviously younger than him, looks gentle and kind, and has no aggressiveness at all.

Her face was as delicate as a doll, her eyes were as calm and deep as the lake, and her outfit was neat and neutral...Except for the unusual white hair, the image of "Almana" was not only very different from the bad woman in Benson's imagination, who wore heavy makeup, had a seductive figure, spoke greasy words, and was an old cow enticing young women, but it could even be said that she was completely unrelated.

Benson felt that all the rhetoric and countermeasures he had prepared the whole night had been punched into the air. He had originally planned to attack like a tiger, to make the bad woman speechless, to tear off her hypocritical sheepskin, and to let his young and naive brothers and sisters learn some lessons.

But now, Benson only had two thoughts in his mind. One was, was my idea too dark? The other was, was her rank higher than mine?

Melissa went over and half-reluctantly pulled Mu Fange to sit on the lower bunk of the bunk bed. She didn't care how Benson fought the air in his mind for three hundred rounds. Melissa first needed to do a good job of entertaining the guests. After all, the eldest brother is like a father and the younger sister is like a mother. This is the tradition of the Klein family.

Benson cleared his throat and asked, "Um... Almana, how old are you this year?"

Melissa began to stare at Benson with a murderous look - it was so rude to ask a lady's age right after meeting her!

Mu Fange received the "signal" from Benson's eyes, which conveyed the temptation of the carnivore.

The original book clearly states that during the Tingen period, Benson was 25 years old, but his hairline had receded, so he looked like he was 30 years old.

The little mirror said that Klein's birth date was March 1327, 3. Now it is February 4, 1349. Oh my god, Klein will be 2 years old in a month!

Melissa's birthday is not clearly written, but according to some information in the original book, it can be inferred that Melissa was fifteen years old when she took the entrance examination in July last year, and Zhou Mingrui did not celebrate her sister's birthday after landing, but mentioned that her sister was already sixteen years old, so Melissa's birthday excludes July to September during the Tingen period, that is, between October of the previous year and June of the next year. But Zhou Mingrui attended Selina's sixteenth birthday party after landing, and mentioned that Selina was half a year younger than Melissa, that is, Selina's birthday was in July. If Melissa's birthday was between September and December, Melissa would not be half a year older than Selina, so Melissa's birthday should be in January.

"Almana" should be older than Klein and younger than Benson. Twenty-four years old this year is the most reasonable age.

After Melissa glared at the rude Benson, she cast an apologetic look at "Almana".

Mu Fange smiled at Melissa reassuringly and replied, "I'll be twenty-four in a few months."

Benson rolled his eyes awkwardly. Before meeting "Almana" in person, he had always thought that the gentle and caring sister that Melissa mentioned was at least in her thirties.

Young, but very caring? There must be something behind this! Benson once again grasped the crux of the question: "What do you do for a living?"

Melissa couldn't tolerate her brother's rude questioning of the guest, so she took the initiative to help Mu Fange answer: "Almana has graduated from university and now follows his mentor to Tingen to do research."

Benson, who was backstabbed by his sister, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had to think based on the information provided by Melissa: Maybe he could ask some difficult academic questions. Melissa didn't know this information, so "Almana" would have to answer them himself. If the research was just a lie made up for Melissa and Klein, "Almana" would be put on the spot because he couldn't justify himself.

Benson pretended to be very curious: "Do research, what kind of research do you do?"

This time it was Klein's turn to backstab Benson.

Klein knew clearly that Almana came to Tingen to investigate his grandfather, Koreshi, and to find out his own life experience. Doing research was just an excuse for the outside world. It was a secret that only Almana and Klein knew, so Benson couldn't be allowed to continue digging in this direction!

Klein certainly couldn't let Almana be roasted by his brother! Use your brain quickly and think about what Almana should study so that he wouldn't be exposed! Klein said to himself.

"Almana and I both study history, but I study the history of the Quaternary period, while Almana studies modern history. Well, we met at a history summit!"

Klein started talking nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth, and secretly winked at Mu Fange.

Mu Fange stood there for a moment, and soon understood the message that Klein wanted to convey: How could the story of Mr. Correshi and the new Bairam not be considered a kind of modern history?

Benson, who was repeatedly backstabbed by his brothers and sisters, almost passed out—Klein, Melissa, I am your real brother!
