Born in the dark, Ended in the dawn

Listening to old man Liu teasing Wei Lan, Tang Li, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing, girl? You were so desperate that I couldn't take you down several times, and I don't know what it means to be afraid." Old man Liu gave Tang Li a dissatisfied look. When he was outside the door, he found that Tang Li's vicious air was not from Tang Li herself, but was entangled by something, and it seemed that she had been entangled for a long time, "You don't even know that something is going to harm you?"

Tang Li was taken aback by these words. The originally relaxed atmosphere was turned serious by old man Liu's words. She knew that the topic was finally going to turn to herself, so she told Liu all the big and small things that happened to her. The old man listened.

"I'm not good at judging this matter about you. You don't seem like a person who can do evil. You're just a little short-sighted. Seeing that this kid is begging me for you, I don't want to judge you." Asking what is right and wrong, let you avoid it for the time being. As for where the crux is and how to solve it, it depends on your own good fortune."

Tang Li was also a knowledgeable and interesting person, she didn't say anything, she just stood up and bowed deeply to old man Liu.

The matter was temporarily resolved, and a big stone fell to his heart. Wei Lan was no longer restrained, and warmly filled a glass of wine for Old Man Liu, "Uncle Liu, where do you want to arrange for Sister Li to live? In a temple?"

"Temple? Where did the temple come from? There is an abandoned ruined temple. It is just 100 meters behind my house. The wall is about to collapse. There are still people living there." Liu old man stared at Wei Wei with his cloudy old eyes. Lan, "There is a stone house at the back of my dilapidated yard, which is smaller than this one. It can accommodate people after tidying up. There are also some simple utensils. Let's make do with it first, and then go buy what's missing."

After sending Tang Li away, old man Liu, who had no self-consciousness as a homeowner, completely ignored the rattling sound from the other side of the dilapidated house, and even pulled Wei Lan who wanted to see the situation and refused to let him go.

"Don't worry, in my place, people who are not predestined can't get in. You see, the stairs seem to lead to the dark, but there are many forks in the road, so it's very safe."

Wei Lan wasn't worried that outsiders would break in, but she was just worried that Tang Li, who was a thin woman after all, might fall if she made such a big noise.

"I'm all troubled with my head, and I still have time to care about others." Old man Liu drank the wine that Wei Lan poured for him with a look of hatred on his face, "You child, you have a hard life, okay? It is easy to live a good life for a few years, but not to live in peace."

"It's okay, I can think about it, and I won't get into the horns by myself."

"That's good, some things, if you can't force it, just let it be. I'm old, I don't have many days to live, and I still want to be clean and clean. What happens to you is beyond my control. To be honest I don't dare to take care of it. You have a bad luck on your body, and it will definitely not be peaceful in the future, so be careful." Old man Liu took out an empty wine glass from the drawer, and wiped it with his fingers, who didn't know if it was dirty or clean. Handed the dust to Wei Lan's eyes, and poured wine, "Have a drink with the old man."

The wine was not a good wine, it was choking and spicy, burning from the throat to the stomach.Wei Lan's visit this time was not for himself, and he didn't care whether the old man Liu's words sounded good or not, "Uncle Liu, is there really no temple in this mountain? I can hear the sound of chanting from below. It's buzzing, it's shocking, and it makes people feel peaceful."

"Did you hear?"

Wei Lan didn't know why Old Man Liu was so excited all of a sudden, and was a little curious, "What's the matter? I did hear it when I was down the mountain, but I couldn't hear it when I got to the top of the mountain."

"Okay, okay..." The old man Liu's smile was a bit vicissitudes, and he nodded his head with a lot of emotion, "The Buddha is still there, and the Buddha hasn't left. , I'm old, my breath is heavy, and I can't hear that nice voice."

The old man Liu raised his glass in relief and signaled to Wei Lan, "My poor old man has very good eyesight. At the first glance, I felt that you are very clean, and you don't have any distracting thoughts in your heart. If you want to enter Buddhism , it will definitely be a good material. It’s just that the fate is not over, you can’t force it, it will get better, and the Buddha will protect you.”

"Aren't you kidding me? I haven't even talked to a girlfriend yet. I'm a bachelor. How can I get married? But I'd like to borrow your good words, thank you." Wei Lan smiled heartily, "God It's getting late, I'd better go back quickly, the mountain road is not easy to walk, so you should rest early."

"Where are you going?" Old man Liu was displeased, and he took Wei Lan's arm and sat back on the stool. "It's been so evil lately, and it's almost the ghost moon again. There are more strange things in the mountains. How dare you walk at night? Tonight Stay here, you have too much bad luck, my place is full of spirit, you can get rid of some bad luck if you stay for one night."

Wei Lan was still a little embarrassed. Seeing that old man Liu was so persistent, it was hard to refuse. It was really unsafe to drive up the mountain road in the middle of the night, or downhill. It would be okay to stay for one night.

There was nothing in the mountains at night, and Wei Lan, who had nothing to do, went back to the room arranged by Old Man Liu early, lying on the bed in a daze, there was a mobile phone signal, but there was only one bar, and sometimes even this bar would disappear.

Just like that, he still stared at WeChat unrepentantly, chatted with the brothers in the group to pass the time, and fell asleep holding the phone unconsciously, half asleep and half awake, vaguely heard old man Liu talking to Whoever spoke, but the strong tiredness could not allow him to listen carefully, and fell into a deep sleep.

He had a dream, a long-lost dream. In the dream, he was still young, being hugged by his father, and his mother happily pinched his immature face. There were Uncle Xiao and Aunt Sun in the spacious room. Talking and laughing, only the boy sitting on the side of the sofa looked down at the book, unable to blend into the relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

Wei Lan stretched out her short fingers at the boy, yelling in a milky voice, trying to get that person's attention. Fortunately, he succeeded, and the boy finally raised his head and looked away from the book , fell on Wei Lan.

The boy's eyes were a little bewildered, as if he didn't know how to deal with the little guy who offered to be nice to him. Under the urging of Aunt Sun, the boy first closed the book and put it on the table, then stood up and walked towards Wei Lan Come, hold Wei Lan's little hand with some hesitation.

That hand is so warm.

The early morning in the mountains is still quiet, there are no rushing cars honking, no noisy vendors hawking, only crisp birdsong, and the sound of gurgling water coming from nowhere.

It's been a long time since she slept so well, Wei Lan stretched her limbs lazily, and it was rare for her to wake up naturally before the alarm went off.After a brief wash, he drank a bowl of vegetable leaf porridge cooked by Old Man Liu. Before he could say goodbye to Tang Li, Wei Lan hurried down the mountain and got into the car. Brings inner peace.

Just like old man Liu said, Wei Lan is destined to have an uneventful life in the days to come.

Liu An came back, although his eyes were still full of hostility looking at Wei Lan, but those stinging words no longer came from his mouth.Wei Lan greeted Liu An without any grudges, and sat down at her desk with the takeaway.Wei Lan can fully understand Liu An's hostility. Liu An and him are classmates, competitive, and their grades are even better than his. After listening to Xiao Zixian's lecture, they have two completely different mentalities from him.

If Wei Lan's attitude towards Xiao Zixian is longing and admiration, then Liu An's attitude is like a competitor. During that time, Liu An's most frequent sentence was "I will definitely become more powerful than Xiao Zixian." criminal investigators."

But now, Xiao Zixian was seriously injured and fell into a coma because of himself, and Liu An suddenly lost the target of his struggle. It is understandable to have such a bad attitude.

While gnawing on the ribs in the lunch box, the CS game theme song suddenly sounded on the mobile phone. This is a special ringtone. Wei Lan swallowed the meat that he didn't chew much, choking his throat sorely, but he didn't care about it so much.It was Lu Yang who called, this is not normal, Lu Yang would not call him during working hours, unless there is a very urgent situation.

"Hello, Lu Yang? What's the matter?"

"Wei Lan?" The other party asked tentatively, but did not leave room for Wei Lan to answer, and continued to state, "The owner of this number is unconscious, and he is on the first floor of Block D, Xintai Science and Technology Plaza."

It was not Lu Yang's voice that came from the other side of the phone, but a thick and deep male voice, which Wei Lan felt familiar.

"Who are you?"

The other party didn't introduce himself, but just asked Wei Lan to go over and have a look.

This made Wei Lan feel a little strange, so he couldn't help thinking about it. He didn't dare to delay at all, hung up the phone and called Yin Hang, and drove to Xintai Science and Technology Plaza where Lu Yang was located.

Many people surrounded Block D of Xintai Science and Technology Plaza, and the gate had been cordoned off. A familiar figure came out of the gate and was explaining something to the ambulance.Did something really happen to Lu Yang?Wei Lan strode towards Li Anran who was beside the ambulance.

"Brother Wei, why are you here?" Li Anran was very surprised by Wei Lan's sudden appearance.

"Where is Lu Yang?"

"Who is Lu Yang?"

"Did something happen to Lu Yang? A quiet man." Wei Lan described Lu Yang's image to Li Anran.

"Don't worry, it's not a man, it's a woman. What you're looking for is the guy who fainted?" Li Anran pointed to the gate, "He's on the side of the emergency escape route, and there's a security guard. Nothing."

Following the direction Li Anran pointed, Wei Lan found the entrance of the stairwell, and she saw Lu Yang lying unconscious on the ground with his head hugged by a man in a security uniform, who was struggling to hold the mineral water bottle Feed water into Lu Yang's tightly closed mouth.

"You're the one who called me? Thank you." Wei Lan was not as gentle as the security guard's movements. He took Lu Yang halfway into his arms, pinched Lu Yang's chin skillfully, and opened his closed mouth slightly. , "Your feeding method can choke people to death."

Hearing this, the security guard who had been looking down at Lu Yang raised his head, looked at Wei Lan with eagle-like sharp eyes, pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

Wei Lan stared back at the security guard in shock, deliberately lowered her voice and exclaimed, "Han Zhao! Why are you here?"
