A redstone-walled compound with three blue-tiled houses. On a hot summer day, the slightly dilapidated gate has two large white lanterns hanging on the door. In the middle of the lobby of the blue-tiled room is a coffin, in which lies an old man in his eighties. Behind the coffin is a tablet that reads, 'Ancestor Yan Zhong Mu Tairu Meng Yushu Shengxi Lotus Seat'. In front of the tablet is lit three sticks of incense. On the wall hangs the portrait of the old man, with an old and kind face.

Yan Luo remembers very well that this was when her grandmother died in the third year of junior high school. She didn't quite understand why she was back here. Looking at the people who came and went to mourn, she wanted to see her grandmother again. Reaching out and touching the pillar supporting the beam, the slight depression, which was the trace of her when she was young, shouting to compare her height. Looking at the appearance of the grandmother in the coffin, as kind as she remembered, her eyes were slightly hot, and she opened her mouth silently.

Grandma, it's been a long time.

The crowd dispersed, and the sky grew darker. Yan Luo saw his immature self coming to the coffin, thin and helpless, pale and grief-stricken. Seeing that she was reluctant to tidy up her grandmother's clothes, Yan Luo had a soft smile on the corner of her mouth. At this time, she bent down and picked up something from the ground. It's the family cat, the wine. Yan Luo saw Jiu'er pretending to be a cat, lazy and innocent, cold and cute, and couldn't help but think that it was really a cat at this time.

"Jiu'er, Jiu'er, I really should let you take a look at you at this time, it's really cute!"

Three days later, when my grandmother went out for a funeral, 15-year-old Yan Luo walked in front with the portrait, her body was even thinner, as if only a handful of bones were left. She was hungry for three days, kneeling for three days, not eating or drinking, as if to move the gods. The dust gradually buried the coffin, and she fell to her knees and cried loudly. Yan Luo remembered that at that time, she wanted to see her grandmother again and meet the loving old man.

On the first seven days, she had a high fever and was found by the neighbor's eldest brother and had to take her to the hospital. She was reluctant to live or die, so she finally took medicine and persevered until she saw her grandmother in the evening, and the next day she had a high fever and went to the hospital. Thinking about that time, the neighbors Aunt Chen and Aunt Liu were very good to her, and Aunt Chen's eldest brother Zhao Yunwen couldn't forget the concern in her tone when she found out that she was sick.

Later, then something happened that completely changed everything. Yan Luo looked at the three girls who were chatting with her young self, and her eyes showed nostalgia and pain.

Why are you seeing this? Yan Luo had no solution.

"Luoluo, Luoluo" The immature call in the ear is the voice of wine.

Yan Luo's eyes opened, and the dark and deep pupils flashed with cold light. He looked at the woman with her signature smile in front of her and said, "Why did I have this dream?" ”

"What exists in your subconscious, not to mention that these are things that have happened to you." The woman's voice was flat without a trace of ups and downs, "This is not a dream, this is just your memories of the past." ”

Jiu'er jumped into her arms and said, "Are you okay?" In fact, it wanted to persuade her to forget it, even if she didn't know, it didn't matter.

Yan Luo nodded, looked at the woman and said, "I'm here to let you help me interpret my dreams, not to remember the past." Is your fame blown out? ”

The woman smiled, enchanting and charming. "You'll find out if you come back in a week."

Yan Luo had to admit that the woman in front of her was more charming and soul-stirring than the goddess Teacher Du in the hearts of the boys in the school.

Yan Luo walked out of the mysterious room with the wine in his arms, his figure was arrogant and cold, like a lonely plum blossom in the winter.

"I really didn't expect to encounter an unexpected harvest." The woman's coquettish voice flowed into people's hearts like water.

Looking at the summer sun outside, Yan Luo was in a trance, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether this was reality or a dream. It's just that the sound of laughter is gone.

"Where are we going?" Jiu'er asked. It nestled lazily in Yan Luo's arms, half-blind.

"Go to No. 114 Union Street, Chen Ran has something to look for me." Yan Luo said.

Chen Ran is her classmate in junior high school, and like Yan Luo, she is different from ordinary people. Men of different genders, complete and harmonious families. By the way, I also know the fact that he is different from ordinary people.

114 Union Street, which is not an auspicious number at first glance, is the office of TBA (the black arts). Hidden in the homes of ordinary people, it is very inconspicuous. Looking at the façade, it makes no difference, it's just that the number is unlucky. Yan Luo pushed open the door with the wine in his arms and walked in. The relationship is familiar, and I don't bother to knock on the door.

"Yo, Master Yan is here!" A man who eats instant noodles, has messy hair, has not washed it for a few days, and has a lazy tone. He's a computer whiz here, and he's called a lazy man. Of course, the name is not his real name, and if he wants to say his real name, he probably doesn't even remember it.

Except for Chen Ran, none of the people here have real names.

"Sister Luo, why are you here?" A tall, muscular man, who loves to carry a barbell and do arm exercises when he has nothing to do, with a big voice and a small head, but a very delicate mind. He's a master tracker here, and he's known as Daji. It is said that when I first arrived, because of the accent, the name was a joke.

"Where's your boss?" Yan Luo was not polite to them, after all, they were all acquaintances.

Daji was just about to speak, but his eyes were attracted by a child-faced ** girl who came out of it. Don't look at her like a little girl, no one knows her real age, even Chen Ran doesn't know, her name is Jiaojiao.

"Luoluo, long time no see. The boss lets you in. "The delicate Lolita voice, occasionally you can hear a different sound, it's not common.

Yan Luo was thinking about things as he walked inside. When did you meet this group of people?,Second semester of high school.。 Now that she's in her junior year, it doesn't seem to be long.

"Why are you in such a hurry to get me here?" Yan Luo sat on the sofa and smoothed the wine with his right hand. Her eyes looked around the room, and there was no change from when she came here half a year ago. The only thing that has changed is probably Chen Ran's hair, which seems to be thinner than before.

"The wine is only a male." Declarative sentence, after saying this, Chen Ran put down his pen and rubbed his temples.

The lazy drinker said that he didn't want to deal with him.

In another place, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes have deepened. Yan Luo said, "Why are you so old? Who can believe that we are the same age. ”

Chen Ran's face was stunned after hearing this, and he suddenly laughed, like the sun shining into the darkness. made Yan Luo a little baffled. Chen Ran slowly rubbed along the edge of his cheeks, and then saw that the thinning hair was removed, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the deep visible nasolabial folds disappeared. Thick short hair, wheat complexion, collagen on the face. He raised the things in his hand and said with a smile, "It seems that my cross-dressing skills have improved a lot." ”

Jiu'er grinned in Yan Luo's arms, her voice was like a silver bell, and her body trembled.

Yan Luo grabbed the back of Jiu'er's neck and pulled it out of his arms, "Go find Daji to play!" His tone was annoyed and angry, and his cheeks were slightly red.

Chen Ran coughed a few times, suppressed his smile and said, "You go to find the Dream Interpreter, what does she say?" ”

"Let me go again in a week." Yan Luo said: "I don't think it's useful. There was disappointment in his tone.

Chen Ran thought for a while and said, "You Teacher Du still know such a person, if it is true, it seems that she is not simple." "Thinking back to Mr. Du, who I have seen several times, in addition to his glamorous appearance, he is also both righteous and evil, but he takes care of Yan Luo.

Yan Luo knew what he was thinking as soon as he heard his tone, and said directly, "Teacher Du finally saved me, and you have been here for three years." "Knowledge should always increase, even if Teacher Du has a problem, as long as there is no threat, there is nothing wrong.

Chen Ran also understood the meaning of her words, and didn't say anything else, he directly picked up a folder from the table and threw it to Yan Luo. "This is a recent incident, and they all said that their wives were missing. A month ago, the wives at home were suddenly very abnormal, always sleeping during the day and sneaking out at night. One of them followed and didn't notice anything. Half a month ago, their wife went out at night and never came back. I have already checked, and there is nothing wrong with my husband, and there is no problem with my neighbors. However, they told people they knew that they went shopping together a month ago, and they both bought one thing, which was mysterious, and no one knew what it was, and neither did their husbands. ”

"You have been checking for half a month, but you have not found anything. Daji chased? Yan Luo flipped through it and put it on the tea table in front of her, she didn't learn this professionally, she couldn't understand this thing.

Chen Ran nodded, "Several people have similar statements, and these disappeared wives don't know each other, and several husbands have never met each other. ”

"Are you sure it's not artificial? This is not the first time this has happened. Yan Luo said. Thinking of the previous oolong incidents, his cold face couldn't help but smile.

Chen Ran coughed embarrassedly and said, "This time it's definitely not an oolong!" There was certainty in his tone. If such an oolong thing happens again, he doesn't have to be the boss.

"Okay. When to go to these people's homes? ”

"Tomorrow at noon. Today I will follow a few family members to get in touch. ”

When Yan Luo went out, Jiaojiao kept asking her when she would come over, and said that if she graduated, she would come to work in TBA directly, so that she would not be a girl.

By the way, Jiaojiao's ability is great! She learned the skills from her family since she was a child, otherwise she would not have been young forever.

Yan Luo studied financial management at university, and also studied international trade. She lived in a university dormitory for a year, and when she moved out the following year, the dormitory people said she was unknown and no one wanted to live with her. Yan Luo didn't feel anything, she never needed any friendship.

It's just that she didn't expect someone to suddenly break in, disrupting the life she set for herself.

"Luoluo, you're back! I cooked, and you came back just in time! "The one who spoke was Yan Luo's classmate, named Yuan Ling, and she was the one who disrupted Yan Luo's life. I don't know what's going on, I have a friendship with Yan Luo at first sight, so I moved out of the dormitory and wanted to share a room with Yan Luo.

Yan Luo looked at Yuan Ling's busy back, his eyes soft. Jiu'er raised her arrogant head, and when she walked past Yuan Ling's side, she touched her buttocks, which was fleshy.

"Try these braised pork ribs, I'm learning now." Yuan Ling's round little face was flushed, and his eyes were bright, like stars in the night sky.

Yan Luo tasted it, and it was delicious. Seeing that Yuan Ling had anticipation in her eyes, she straightened her face, frowned slightly, and made Yuan Ling nervous for no reason, and opened her mouth to ask if it was not delicious.

"The taste is not bad, the meat is fluffy, and it has the style of a chef." After Yan Luo finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, like a plum blossom in full bloom in the snow.

Yuan Ling relieved his heart at this time, pouted slightly and said, "You really scared me like that just now, but fortunately, my skills are good." ”

Yan Luo took a piece of pork ribs and put it in her bowl, and said, "You can hang the oil bottle, eat it." ”

Yuan Ling nodded, "Are you still busy tomorrow?" The total number of classes you have attended in three years of college is only one year, and the classmates in the class have opinions. ”

After hearing this, Yan Luo said, "I'm busy, I have to ask for leave tomorrow." "Others can say whatever they like, and she doesn't ask everyone to like her.
