Yu Lanchuan's grandparents both died before he was born, and he doesn't know much about it. In addition, the older generation's grandfather in their family was an old man, and his father in the previous generation was a middle-aged prodigal. By analogy, this may be a "

A family where "the waves behind push the waves ahead, and every wave is stronger than the last" - as for him, although he seems to be quite a person now, no one knows what will happen in the future, and maybe he is in the incubation period.

Yu Lanchuan's mother is the complete opposite. She is a fatal perfectionist. She is strict with herself and others all her life. She firmly believes that "people who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries". She is anxious all the time, and

Very strong desire to control.

The combination of these two is like a big wild horse falling in love with cement. There is no problem with their character, but they just don't match each other.

Yu Lanchuan, who inherited the libertine gene of the Yu family, has been "good but wild" since he was a child, especially in his second year of middle school. Although he can generally follow the rules, he must take the initiative to follow them. Once someone interferes, he will definitely obey the rules.

When Liu Zhongqi was just born, his mother had a bit of postpartum depression, and her mood fluctuated greatly, and her desire for control, which she could usually restrain, became even more intense, causing a lot of trouble in the house. It happened that school had just started, and Yu Lanchuan's heart was still restless during the summer vacation.

He didn't have time to adjust himself, so he wrote the homework perfunctorily. When his mother, who was not in control of his emotions, saw it, she tore it up, asked him to rewrite it, and claimed to call his teacher.

Fifteen years ago, Yu Lanchuan, who was in the second year of middle school, did not argue with her and silently re-copied his homework. At night, while the adults were sleeping, he packed up his things and ran away from home without even leaving a note.

However, although he also ran away from home, he felt that he was better than Liu Zhongqi. Liu Zhongqi was completely impulsive and didn't even think about where to stay. Yu Lanchuan had a clear plan back then - he planned to stay with his uncle first.

After a while, I would find a reason to apply to live on campus and never go home again, out of sight and out of mind.

Thinking about it, his mother later implemented a "sheep-herding" education for her younger son, and she must have learned a lesson.

That day, Yu Lanchuan took a car in the middle of the night and arrived at No. 110 Courtyard. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. He always came to stay during the holidays. He had the key to his grandfather's house, so he opened the door and went in. The old man's bedroom door

When it was open, Xiao Yu Lanchuan took a look and found that the quilt was spread out. The old man seemed to have lied down. Not knowing what happened, he hurried out again.

Xiao Yu Lanchuan waited for a while and was too sleepy to open his eyes, so he hung his schoolbag on the back door and went to the hut to sleep. He thought he would be able to eat the old man's fried rice when he opened his eyes the next day. Only when he got up in the morning did he find that the old man had

The host didn't come back. He walked around the house and finally found a scrawled note next to the old landline phone. Someone scrawled an address with a pencil. Xiao Yu Lanchuan recognized the words "Nitang Back Alley"

.

That day happened to be Saturday, so the naughty kid had no one to take care of him. He followed the note and explored the legendary "mud pond back alley". He also bought a bag of buns on the roadside, but he didn't eat the buns.

After that, he got lost in the complicated alleys. Just when he wanted to ask someone for directions, he was knocked unconscious and put into the car.

The girl left him in the garbage treatment plant and ran away. He listened in horror in the smelly garbage dump to the noisy sounds passing by from a short distance away and running into the distance. People were yelling,

The dog's barking changed its tune and became as shrill as a wolf's howl.

He stretched out his ears desperately, trying to hear a few words from the girl, but there was none.

He wanted to crawl out from there and find her, but those people came and ran too fast. Before he could react, they didn't know where they were chasing the girl. Xiao Yu Lanchuan hid alone in the darkness

, unable to see or hear, her mind was filled with all kinds of ghostly imaginations. One moment she was caught by those people, the other moment a big wolf dog pounced on her and bit her to death...

It wasn't until early the next morning that a garbage truck came and he was rescued. The grandfather spent a whole day and night looking for him, and his hair was almost turning white.

It was that time that Yu Lanchuan realized that his grandfather was no ordinary person, and that the mysterious world hidden around him was revealed to him. Later, when the vicious group of kidnappers were caught, Yu Lanchuan realized that he was actually involved in

There was a dispute in the rivers and lakes. Someone was staring at Baiyi. He was followed as soon as he went out. Baiyi was close to the city center. Originally, the other party didn't dare to do anything. Who knew that he ran to the back alley of the mud pond and threw himself into a trap.

But the girl who saved him has never been seen again. After hearing what little Yu Lanchuan said, old Yu Huaide also tried to look for her, but found nothing. Everyone suspected that she was just a figment of his imagination due to extreme fear.

Only Yu Lanchuan himself knows otherwise. He has passed the age where reality and imagination cannot be distinguished. Besides, even if it is really an imagination, with Sun Wukong and Transformers for him to choose from, how could he come up with a thin little girl?

The little girl whose whereabouts were unknown tormented him for half a year, starring in every nightmare he had.

From then on, Yu Lanchuan never did anything out of the ordinary, never got into any trouble that he couldn't handle, and even pestered his grandfather to learn Hanjiang's Seven Techniques.

By the way, Yu Lanchuan suddenly remembered - when he first learned the sword, he was still young and had no awareness of preventing sudden death. The original intention of persisting was to protect himself and others when encountering danger in the future, so as not to panic.

Don't regret it too late...

It can also be said that it is because of her.

Where was she chased by those people that day? What happened next?

Has she been living in the back alley of Nitang all these years? Or has she gone somewhere else... What happened to her hands?

Yu Lanchuan, who always had a high quality of sleep, tossed and turned all night.

After several encounters, Gan Qing seemed to be an easy-going person. In fact, the city was very deep and she was by no means a person to be friends with. There would be no results if he asked directly about the things he desperately wanted to know. Especially after so many years, she seemed

It seems that he no longer remembers him.

"It doesn't matter," Yu Lanchuan thought to himself, "just wait."

Gan Qing always goes to bed early and gets up early. She took out her mobile phone to check the time in the morning, only to find that she fell asleep immediately after chatting on WeChat yesterday without even closing the page. She got up to wash up and browsed Yu Lanchuan's Moments records to relieve her boredom.

Xiao Yu's WeChat name is "Yu Lanchuan", and his profile picture is his own handwritten signature. It is very simple and rude. He never deletes the posts he sends to Moments. Gan Qing glanced at it casually and saw that it was full of "monetary policy trends".

"Interpretation of New Regulations of the XX Law" and "Global XXX" were so long that her head turned into two big ones, and she thought she had clicked into a financial news official account.

At this moment, there was an update prompt in the circle of friends. Gan Qing swiped through it and found that the leader next door had posted a long popular science article early in the morning. This time the title was "If you don't have taboos, do you want to enjoy life or let yourself go?"

The pictures accompanying the article are cookies and "Fatboy's Happy Water."

Gan Qing: "Pfft...cough cough cough."

She almost choked the toothpaste foam down her throat. Reminiscent of Yu Lanchuan's expression at the door of McDonald's yesterday, Gan Qing suspected that he had been holding these words in all night, and maybe he didn't even sleep well.

At six-thirty, Gan Qing went out in search of breakfast on time. Yu Lanchuan, who had been listening to the noise, immediately followed suit and wrote down "Leaving out at half-past six" in the memo on his mobile phone.

The two "encountered" each other in the elevator. Gan Qing asked in surprise: "Master Xiao Yu goes to work so early?"

Yu Lanchuan replied reservedly and implicitly: "Well, I'll go to the company in advance to handle something."

Gan Qing: "Oh, isn't it? It's not easy to make even a little money."

It was "not easy" for Mr. Yu to arrive at the company before 6:30. The office building was dark and even the cleaners hadn't arrived yet. He suddenly worked so hard that his colleagues all suspected that he planned to usurp the position of director.

.

After a week of hard work, Yu Lanchuan figured out Gan Qing's work and rest time - regardless of weekends and working days, she would go out around 6:30 in the morning every day, come back around 8:15, tidy up, and finish her work at 9:30

I go to work around the clock, and unless there are any special circumstances at night, I will be back around nine o'clock, and I won't reply to messages after ten-thirty.

Every Sunday at noon, she posts the weekly fortune predictions of the twelve zodiac signs and the good luck outfit guide, implicitly reminding the people who believe her that it’s time to give her money. Every once in a while, she goes to the small commodity wholesale market to purchase goods and closes the store.

For a long time, this shameless person would post on WeChat Moments a day in advance, claiming that he wanted to "retreat" to understand the trajectory of the stars.

As long as she is not asleep, she always responds to messages very quickly, has a lot of emoticons, and likes everything she sees in her circle of friends. It can be seen that her daily work consists of two things - cheating and playing with her mobile phone.

Gan Qing discovered that Mr. Xiao Yu has recently become "not looking up but not looking down". In the past, although we lived next door, we couldn't see each other once a week, but recently we bump into each other at least once a day, every now and then, and there are always some accidents.

-For example, the courier next door delivered it to her by mistake, and something broke and she came to borrow a wrench... Yu Lanchuan may not like to owe people favors, and he never expresses his gratitude verbally. If he troubles someone once, he will send something over the next day.

They were just a few bags of nuts, two pounds of cherries and other small items.

Gan Qing was staying in No. 110 Courtyard and wanted to find a place to sleep quietly without intending to interact with anyone. Unexpectedly, because of a bunch of trivial things, he somehow became familiar with his aloof neighbor.

More than ten days later, Gan Qing accidentally ate half a kilogram more grilled chicken wings due to being lectured by Boss Meng during dinner. Her stomach was a little full. When she returned home, she took a long detour and planned to walk around for a while to eat. She passed by near her home.

When I was in the shopping mall, I happened to see Nie Ke walking out of the supermarket carrying two bags of daily necessities.

This man is at the center of rumors and gossips, and he has become a modern-day "Rochester" for whoever he catches. Even if Xiang Xiaoman is released, he will probably end up in a mental hospital in the future. It is said that there are already good aunts introducing Nie Ke to him.

object.

Gan Qing didn't bother to look at his "affectionate, pitiful and admirable" expression, so he deliberately waited for a while, waiting for Nie Ke to go far away, and kept a few hundred meters away to avoid walking with him.

Just when Nie Ke turned at the last intersection, Gan Qing, who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark figure, chasing in Nie Ke's direction, as fast as the headlights sweeping across a big tree...

However, there were no cars at the intersection at this time.
