deep trap

As Lu Can speculated, the meal was late.

The nightlife in the north is not popular, especially in autumn and winter. When you come out of the hot pot restaurant, you can't see many pedestrians on the road.Qin Yuanyuan raised her neckline, "Brother Can, is the handsome guy here to pick you up?"

"No, I didn't call him today." Lu Can replied.

"Yo Yo Yo, I haven't said which handsome guy it is, so you can substitute it yourself," Qin Yuanyuan lowered her voice, "How is it? How far has it developed?"

The two of them have known each other for more than ten years, have had many mutual friends, and many of them have good looks, but when it comes to handsome guys, Lu Can's first reaction is Ji Mingze.

"...What kind of step?" Lu Can said guiltily, "Don't talk nonsense."

Qin Yuanyuan curled her lips: "Don't play dumb, it's already too late."

"What are you talking about mysteriously? Let me help, Yanzi seems to be getting fat again...Xiao Can, remember to wear a scarf next time you go out, don't always show your neck, blowing out the cervical spondylosis is too old You have to suffer."

At this time, Lao Mao helped Zhou Yan out, and Lu Can helped get Zhou Yan into the back row, while trying to deal with Lao Mao's nagging, "Okay, I'll go to the mall to buy one in two days."

Lu Can didn't drink, the other three drank a few bottles, and the task of sending everyone home fell on Lu Can.

Qin Yuanyuan was sitting in the co-pilot, and looked at Zhou Yan from the rearview mirror, "You can't drink enough and you like to drink, how do you say that... People are addicted to food. By the way, Brother Can, you don't need to buy a scarf , I can knit one for you."

"Not too thick." Lu Can said.

"I want a scarf too!" The drunk Zhou Yan suddenly got up from Lao Mao's body like a dead body, "I want a red one, big red!"

"Big red? Don't you like punk black, white and gray?" Qin Yuanyuan resolutely refused, "I don't have time to knit so much, so go buy it yourself."

Zhou Yan groaned, and stretched his arms forward, probably wanting to rub Qin Yuanyuan's hair.As a result, he was so drunk that he stretched halfway and fell back, grinning angrily.

Qin Yuanyuan was amused by his ugly appearance.

Among the four, Zhou Yan was the most drunk, followed by Lao Mao.Lu Can sent Zhou Yan home first, then Lao Mao, and finally Qin Yuanyuan.

Girls have a good capacity for alcohol, drink the most, but have the least reaction.On the way home, she focused on the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, her chin was pointed, and she was much thinner than before.

Lu Can wanted to ask her if she had any big projects recently, so she turned her head and found a few conspicuous silver threads on her temples.

Four years after graduating, the four of them reached the age of 26 and seven, but their hair never grew white.Lu Can asked, "Sister Yuan, does your family have a gene for less gray hair?"

"It seems not, what's the matter?"

"nothing."

If not, [-]% of the work is too tiring to affect the body.Lu Can instructed: "If there is anything I can help, just say it, including your brother. My company is currently recruiting floor security, and the job content is very easy. Just complete the registration of strangers' visits every day, and he should be able to handle it. come."

"It's not that you don't know his temperament. After working for two days, he will definitely find an excuse to pat his ass and leave. At that time, he will have to recruit again. I'd better not trouble you."

Qin Yuanyuan's younger brother insisted on dropping out of junior high school and going to the city to earn a lot of money, but in the end he didn't make any money, and he learned to be lazy with his friends.

In the past, Lu Can helped him introduce jobs and drove a certain unit leader, which was very good for young people with low education and empty hands.As a result, he felt tired and found a very perfunctory reason to resign.

Before leaving, he took a pack of cigarettes and hundreds of dollars in cash in the car.If the leader hadn't known Lu Can's father and hadn't pursued the matter, he would have been stuck for a few days.

Qin Yuanyuan cheated on her friend once, but she doesn't want to cheat a second time.

"Brother Can," she said after a pause, "If you want to help me, take me to Boyuan."

"Now? Or another appointment?"

"Now. I mentioned it at the dinner table just now, and I suddenly want to check it out."

Lu Can said "hmm" and turned the car around.

After graduation, Boyuan Middle School was renovated once, and a new teaching building and gymnasium were built.When they arrived, the brand new little red flag on the roof was swaying in the wind.

It was dark and windy at night, and the doorman had already fallen asleep, so Lu Can parked his car beside the T-junction behind the school for fear of waking him up.

There is a long alley connected to the other end of the intersection. Lu Can was surprised to find that this narrow alley has not changed at all except that it is a bit dilapidated.

In the third year of high school, Lu's father married a new aunt.Unlike the wicked stepmother in fairy tales, the new aunt treats him very well.Fearing that he would not be able to keep up with nutrition in the college entrance examination, he discussed with the teacher to let him go to school.

In fact, Lu Can really likes to stay, and playing with friends is much more interesting than studying at home.But my aunt was five months pregnant at the time, and she had to cook soup for him every day. Looking at the slender figure in the kitchen, how could he say "reject"?

However, Lu Can did not ask the driver to pick him up and chose to ride to and from school by himself. The alley connected by the back door is the only way to go home.

The alleys are winding, the sunlight will become gentler, and the wind will be more gentle when passing through.

There seems to be a litter of wild cats living in the debris pile at the corner, and there are often kittens' milky "Mimi" sounds coming out of it, which makes people's hearts tickle, and I really want to have a good rua.

He found someone walking with him while feeding the cat.

The other party was not riding a bicycle, but was walking. He was wearing the school uniform of the No. [-] Middle School. He was slender and slightly thin.

The evening self-study is over at 09:30, and it will be ten o'clock to pack up and come out.There were no street lights in the alley, and Lu Can couldn't see the other person's face clearly across the half of the alley. He could only feel that his skin was fair and his back was straight.

They walked like this for nearly a month, and the other party probably didn't intend to make friends, and kept a close distance.Lu Can left as soon as he left, and he stopped when Lu Can stopped to feed the cat. He leaned against the wall with downcast eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Lu Can guessed that the other party might be withdrawn and introverted, or had a disease such as social fear, so he didn't try to get close, and some even enjoyed this silent colleague.

He was only seventeen or eighteen years old and hadn't left school, so it was difficult for him to treat his parents' remarriage rationally.The stranger's footsteps seemed to comfort him silently, finally calming down his impetuous state of mind.

And their counterparts ended a month and a half later.

The winter in the north was successful, and a heavy snowfall brought Bincheng into the freezing cold.Lu Can's hands were so cold that he bought a roasted sweet potato at the alley and ate it while warming his hands.

As he was walking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong behind him.

The footsteps were much heavier than before, and they were not far behind, following very closely, as if they were about to... pounce on him in the next moment.

Lu Can raised his vigilance, pretended to be slippery and threw the roasted sweet potato on the ground, and then took the opportunity of picking up something to sneak a glance behind.

——The figure of "traveler" is gone!

Following him was a middle-aged man covered tightly with a hat and scarf!

The man's right hand was half-hidden in his cuff, and he was holding something in his hand, with a cold glow showing out, which looked like a knife.Lu Can was so frightened that he didn't dare to run, for fear of angering the other party.If he didn't run, he was afraid that no one would pass by the alley, and he would not be able to be saved.

Just as he was hesitating, a piercing siren suddenly sounded from the alley.Lu Can felt the voice was weird, but before he could react, the middle-aged man felt guilty and ran towards the end of the alley, almost knocking Lu Can down when he passed by!

When the alley returned to calm, Lu Can stepped on his bicycle and rode in the opposite direction.The moment he rushed out of the alley, he saw the familiar trousers of the No. [-] Middle School uniform and the mobile phone in the opponent's hand with the screen still on.

It turned out that the "traveler" used the siren recordings he found to help him scare away the gangsters.

After that, when he heard that his son almost had an accident on the way home from school, Lu's father agreed with Lu Can to go back to the dormitory.Lu Can often went to the alley to wait for his "traveler" in the name of buying roasted sweet potatoes, and wanted to treat him to a warm sweet potato, and thank him face to face.

Unfortunately, never saw him again.

"Brother Can, why are you in a daze?"

Qin Yuanyuan's voice pulled Lu Can back from his memory to reality.He shook his head and unfastened his seat belt, "I remembered something. Come on, I'll take you in to play."

"I won't go in," Qin Yuanyuan said, "Just stay here, it looks good from a distance."

Lu Can put down the car window as he said, and the two looked at their alma mater under the moonlight together.

"If you don't look at the right half, Boyuan has not changed much." Lu Can pointed to the direction of the fence, "Did you see that the fence that Yanzi broke in order to skip class has not been repaired yet?"

"It may also be opened after it was repaired. Brother Can, it's not Bo Yuan who remains the same, it's you."

Lu Can frowned slightly, feeling that there was something in this sentence, and asked carefully, "What about you, have you changed?"

"I...Of course I have changed. The eighteenth female college has changed, and the more I change, the more beautiful I am!" Qin Yuanyuan winked at her brother Can and smiled wryly.

She smiled beautifully, but Lu Can became more and more worried.But I have tried it just now, and if I continue to ask, Lu Can is afraid that she will get bored.

Wait two days, and then find other reasons to ask.

Qin Yuanyuan said that she had seen enough, and Lu Can softly poured out of the T-junction.The dark winding alley was left behind the car, getting further and further away until it disappeared from sight.

After a long silence, Qin Yuanyuan asked in a low voice: "Brother Can, do you think there will be light ahead if you keep walking along this road?"

The street lights on both sides of the road were brightly lit. What she asked was not the road, but life.

Frankly speaking, Lu Can still doesn't know where his road is going, whether it is smooth, rough, abyss or other.

His expression was confused for a moment, and the winter night woven by the smell of sweet potatoes and panic suddenly appeared in his mind, as well as the flashing light of the mobile phone screen at the entrance of the alley.

"Yes," Lu Can said firmly, "Go on, there will be light."
