As night falls, the cold wind blows, and nocturnal people curl up and hurry along the street where the lights are on.

Not far away, in the crowded Hongqiao Pedestrian Street Square, Zhang Lan dragged her suitcase through the crowd.

He walked aimlessly, not knowing where to go, the bustling crowd had its own direction, but he didn't know where the road was.

When he saw those happy families with wives and daughters, smiling past him, the happiness written all over his face made his heart feel lonely, as if he was the outcast of the city.

At this time, Zhang Lan, who was kicked out of school, was extremely lost and lonely, he suddenly felt a little homesick, and he didn't know how his parents, younger brothers and sisters were doing well, but unfortunately he might not have the money to send home next month.

Suddenly, a drop of rain fell on Zhang Lan's cheek, he reached out to touch the raindrops, and touched a chill, the raindrops gathered more and more, and slowly connected into a line, looking at the scene, it would be a difficult cold rainy night.

Zhang Lan has to find an underground passage or something like that, a place where he can live temporarily to shelter from the wind and rain, and the issue of staying overnight is being discussed in the long run.

In the center of Hongqiao Square, under an arched bridge spanning east and west, an underground passage was built. After a while, Zhang Lan dragged his suitcase and walked into the underpass with a bang, and when he looked up, there were really a lot of pedestrians passing through the underpass.

After walking more than a dozen steps, an incomparably melodious sound of the piano came, and a man leaning on the corner of the wall and playing the erhu caught his attention.

The man had long hair, half of his sunglasses were covered, he was dressed like a beggar, and under his feet lay a bowl of money, in which lay several coins and bills of different denominations.

There were three or four listeners around the man, tasting the music.

Glancing at the man who was performing arts, Zhang Lan dragged the suitcase aside, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes to listen.

This qin song, some of the artistic conception of "Erquan Reflecting the Moon", is miserable and miserable, such as bitterness, and the people who listen to it are broken.

At this time, this qin song just fits Zhang Lan's state of mind, a kind of desolation from being kicked out of school arises spontaneously, Zhang Lan feels that this music is clearly played for him.

Zhang Lan leaned against the wall and listened, slowly intoxicated in the piano music, he recalled the before and after of the fight with the prince, from the beginning of the "hero saves the beauty" to the end of the whole process of being expelled from school by Gu Hong and driven out of school, he suddenly had a sense of self-deprecation, he felt his pedantry and childishness, felt the warmth of human affection and the trampling of dignity, and felt the strength and status, which is the strong backing of dignity. He figured it out a lot, maybe being kicked out of school this time may not be a good thing for his mental growth, the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, this is the truth.

After a while, the man finished playing, Zhang Lan was still intoxicated by the bleak artistic conception and did not wake up, until a few people crackled and threw coins into the bowl, which woke up Zhang Lan with closed eyes.

Zhang Lan opened her eyes and looked at the man with gratitude, as if she wanted to see his eyes clearly from behind his wide sunglasses.

Zhang Lan didn't expect that in this underground passage, he could actually hear such a high-level erhu performance, which is really lucky! This is very much like a healing song, and it is like a song that stirs people's hearts, which has benefited Zhang Lan a lot.

Seeing the reward lying horizontally in the bowl, Zhang Lan remembered that he hadn't given the reward after listening to the song, so he hurriedly went to dig out his pocket, but when he touched his pocket, it was empty, and his wallet was gone.

Although there is less than 1,000 yuan of silver in this wallet, this is the last thing he has to settle down in, so how will he live in the future?

The man saw Zhang Lan groping in his pockets, looking anxious to find something, and guessed that Zhang Lan must have lost something.

"What's wrong, did you lose your wallet?" The man asked with concern.

"Well, I lost my wallet, I should have stolen it by a thief when I was on the bus, I'm really sorry, I was going to reward you with a few dollars." Zhang Lan pretended to be distressed after losing the money, and her face was not very good.

"Listening to music with you, a bosom friend, is more fun than any reward, to be honest, I didn't come here to play erhu for money." The man said.

That's right, Zhang Lan looked at this man carefully, whether it was temperament or conversation, there was no trace of beggar's poor sourness, as if he faintly felt that this man had an indescribable bearing.

"Oh, not for the money? What's that for? Is it to experience life? ”

Indeed, there are many wealthy people who wander the streets in order to experience the warmth and coldness of the world. Zhang Lan guessed that this man might be this kind of person.

"Sort of. Seeing you listening to the intoxication just now, can you read the meaning of my song? The man asked with interest.

Zhang Lan laughed and said: "How dare I talk about any bosom friend, it's just that your song just fits my current state of mind." ”

The man was even more curious: "What state of mind?" ”

So Zhang Lan poured bitter water, and said the matter of being driven out of Huada concisely, and after pouring out, she felt much better.

After hearing this, the man's face suddenly became a little hideous, and he saw a compelling momentum on his body: "What a dog official who oppresses people with power!" ”

It seems that this man is also angry.

Zhang Lan saw the man's indignant appearance, not like he was pretending, and asked tentatively: "Looking at my brother's age, he shouldn't be much older than me, is he still studying?" ”

The man said lightly: "I have always been a student, I have never stopped, even if I graduate in the future, I am still a student." ”

Zhang Lan wondered, what does this mean?

"Oh, which school are you from?"

"Fellow school!" The man said.

"What?" Zhang Lan was surprised, it was actually the same school, and hurriedly asked his name.

The man didn't tell him what his name was, but asked lightly, "Have you heard of the Huada Master List?" ”

Zhang Lan nodded, who doesn't know that since he had the Mighty King Kong Finger, it was his goal to be on the Huada master list.

"Oh, I don't know how much you know about this master list?" The man asked.

How much Zhang Lan can know, at most he knows their rankings, so he told him what he knew, and he didn't know the ranking order.

"Well, the ranking order is basically like this, but there is one thing you may not know, the top ten of this master list, except for one person, the others are all born families or famous families."

Zhang Lan shook his head, he really didn't know this.

The man said: "The top seven are the sons of the seven great families in China, known as the seven young on campus, the eighth and ninth, although they are not children of big families, they are also born in big families, but the tenth is not, he was born in a poor family." ”

Zhang Lan seemed to understand something: "You mean Qin Tian, who is ranked tenth?" Are you ......?"

Qin Tian nodded.

Zhang Lan was very surprised, she didn't expect to meet a master like Qin Tian in this passage, her face was filled with some idol-worshipping expressions, and then she was puzzled: Why did Qin Tian come here to pull erhu? Is he short of money? Impossible! With his fame, he can make money doing anything.

So, Zhang Lan told Qin Tian about the doubts in his heart.

Qin Tian smiled, this was the first time he had laughed with Zhang Lan, this smile made Zhang Lan feel that Qin Tian's slightly pale face should be regarded as handsome.

"Didn't I just say it, I came here to play erhu, not for money, although I was born in a poor family, but I haven't been short of money to this point, I came here to hone my state of mind."

This Qin Tian did not have a bad impression of Zhang Lan, and deliberately nodded at him, so he said his true words.

Zhang Lan nodded, as if he had realized: Is this the so-called finding guilt for nothing?

"What a hone of your mind! I forgot to tell you just now, my name is Zhang Lan, majoring in Chinese painting in the Department of Fine Arts of Huada, and I am a nobody. ”

Qin Tian said lightly: "You are too modest, my keen intuition tells me that you are not weak!" ”

Zhang Lan said with a smile: "I was born in the countryside, and I know how to order the dealer's style, but compared with you who are on the master list, it is a joke." ”

Zhang Lan knew that the people on this master list were either ancient martial artists or supernatural people, and all of them were extraordinary.

Qin Tian said with a smile: "Except for the first-ranked Dongfang Extraordinary, the second-ranked Nangong Yuntian, and the third-ranked Luo Feng, the other seven people, including myself, are all half-hung Gu Wu, or low-level abilities, and they are not as powerful as rumored, and there is one thing that everyone may not know, if I am not born in a humble family, I can at least rank ninth." ”

Zhang Lan was puzzled: What's going on, isn't the ranking based on combat power, but also on birth?

Seeing Zhang Lan's puzzled face, Qin Tian smiled and said: "In this world, not everything can be ranked by force, some big families have hundreds of years, or even thousands of years of heritage, they are not ordinary people, and they can catch up in a few decades, unless you have the ability to destroy the world!" ”

Zhang Lan fully understood that there are some things that you don't have, you don't want to have, but you have them all at once, such as family heritage and birth!

So, the world wasn't fair in the first place.

Seeing that Zhang Lan had an understanding, Qin Tian nodded slightly, he didn't know why he had an inexplicable good impression of him when he saw Zhang Lan for the first time today, as if there was a magical attraction of seeing each other and hating each other, pulling him to talk to Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan also felt the same way, and he also felt that he had some intimacy with this Qin Tian.

What made him unbelievable was that the high-ranking master of the campus master list had said so much to him today, and he still intended to point him out? This was too surprising to him, and even a little flattered.

"So, you are full of unwillingness and concealment from this world? That's why you're here to hone your surname and improve your state of mind. ”

Qin Tian smiled and nodded: This Zhang Lanwu's surname is not low.

Seeing that the time was not early, Qin Tian received the erhu into the box, packed up the money in the bowl, put the bowl in his pocket, and wanted to leave.

Zhang Lan seemed to be a little reluctant to let him go, and had an urge to talk to him at night.

"Zhang Lan, some things are up to the point, if you say it is too thorough, too full, there is no benefit, you still need to comprehend some by yourself, so that you can really become your own thing, I look forward to you breaking into the top ten of the master list! Here's my phone. ”

After speaking, Qin Tian took out a card with a mobile phone number written on it from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan smiled embarrassedly, in fact, he wanted to ask Qingtian to borrow some money to live in a hotel, but when he said this, Zhang Lan was ashamed, a person who wants to become a master can't even overcome such a small difficulty?

Zhang Lan took the card and nodded heavily.

Looking at Qin Tian's desolate back, Zhang Lan sighed deeply, maybe they were really fellow travelers!
