Hao Yunlai's name is actually very interesting.

Hao Yunlai, good luck comes.

But for more than 20 years, Hao Yunlai has understood the most profound truth that the good wishes placed on the name cannot be fulfilled (there should be a mysterious smiley face here).

Hao Yunlai is an unlucky child, a real "unlucky" child.

Hao Yunlai has no impression of his mother, because after her mother gave birth to her, she died of hemorrhage, she was the first child, without any brothers and sisters, and lived with her father since she was a child.

Her father is the owner of a well-known local noodle chain restaurant, Hao Yunlai heard others say when she was a child, her parents opened a mom-and-pop shop, and when her mother was alive, she and her father ran the business prosperously, but in three years, from a humble breakfast stall to one of the most prestigious delicacies in Nanzhou. At that time, whenever tourists from other places came to visit here, my father's Nanzhou noodles would definitely be included in the must-try list.

After the death of my mother, the business of the store slowly declined, and people around me had different opinions about this phenomenon, some people said that it was because my father was very affectionate to my mother, so my father did not care about business after my mother's death. The store is short of people to take care of, so naturally it can only end up in a bleak ending. Some people also say that the times are different, and now in this small southern city surrounded by mountains and rivers, everyone eats bread, biscuits and instant noodles for convenience, but more people say that Hao Yunlai is a broom star, who killed his mother when he was born, and after he was born, he blocked the family's fortune completely.

Later, Hao Yunlai followed his father to move constantly, from a single-family cottage with a swimming pool to a spacious south-facing unit building in the community, and then to an old house in a crowded and damp alley.

Hao Yunlai sat on the steps in front of the old house with the bear in his arms and asked his father.

"Daddy, am I a broom star?"

Hao Guoliang touched Hao Yunlai's head and smiled kindly, "Lailai is Dad's little princess, where will it be a broom star?" ”

Hao Yunlai, who was seven years old at the time, glanced at Hao Guoliang, who was sitting on the left side, then twisted his head to the other side and said triumphantly.

"Look, I'm not a broom star!"

Hao Guoliang looked at Hao Yunlai's right side when he heard the sound, there was nothing else but the open door, he coughed lightly, "Lailai, who are you talking to this time?" ”

Hao Yunlai looked at the right, a middle-aged woman with a pale face wearing a pair of straight-leg pants with broken peonies on a white background, was sitting loudly, "It's the broccoli mother-in-law who used to live next door to us." ”

Hao Guoliang vaguely remembers that when he and Hao Yunlai lived in the unit building of the community, there was a big family at the door, and when Hao Yunlai went in and out, he could occasionally see the mother-in-law of that family, who was not very old, about fifty years old. The mother-in-law was very good except for her broken mouth, seeing that Hao Yunlai's mother left early, every time she made something delicious at home, she would send some over, but unfortunately she died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage a few days ago.

Hao Guoliang smiled helplessly, he glanced at the sunset at the end of the alley, remembered that he should go to cook, and was about to get up from the steps when someone came over and blocked the soft and long light of the sunset.

"Hey!"

A tall, lanky young man in a printed white T-shirt, a pair of black flip-flops, and a school bag with the sign "adides" on it greets them with a grin.

"My name is Qi Zhan."

Looks like a student, a poor student.

Hao Guoliang stood up and politely replied to his greeting, "Hello." ”

Qi Zhan, who was just in his early twenties, was far less indestructible than he is now, and he recited the prepared lines a little shyly, "I see that your daughter has clear eyes, amazing bones, and is talented, she must be a psychic genius, if you are willing to learn from me......"

Hao Guoliang drove up impatiently, "I don't want to!" Not interested! After that, Hao Guoliang pulled up Hao Yunlai, who was sitting on the steps, "Lailai, let's go into the house to play." ”

"Don't go! It doesn't matter if you don't learn from me! Qi Zhan hurriedly followed, "I'm here to help you." ”

Hao Guoliang didn't look back, and walked straight forward.

"You've been coughing lately, haven't you?" Qi Zhan shouted at Hao Guoliang.

When Hao Guoliang heard this, he paused, but after a while, he walked inside.

"Your daughter's fate is in trouble, if you continue like this, you will die because of her immediately!"

Qi Zhan's words penetrated Hao Yunlai's ears word for word, she broke free of Hao Guoliang's hand and ran towards Qi Zhan, and Aunt Broccoli beside her also floated next to Qi Zhan.

"Uncle, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. Also, call my brother. Qi Zhan was a little dissatisfied with the title given by Hao Yunlai.

Hao Guoliang had no choice but to follow Hao Yunlai back to the door.

"Lailai, these are all lies." Hao Guoliang took Hao Yunlai's hand.

"I'd rather believe it than believe it, it seems that you won't believe me for a while, like this," Qi Zhan took out a bright yellow talisman bag from his bag, embroidered with intertwined water patterns around it, and a string of scribbled red runes in the center, "This is for your daughter to wear, it can keep you a lifetime of blessings." ”

Hao Yunlai stretched out his hand and wanted to pick up the talisman bag from Qi Zhan's hand.

Seeing this, Qi Zhan immediately showed a flattering smile, "Now that our studio is doing promotional activities, it originally cost 60 yuan for one piece, but now the two of them buy it together, as long as one hundred and nineteen!" ”

"!" Hao Guoliang showed a look of disgust, and without saying anything, he picked up Hao Yunlai and walked into the house.

With a "snap", the door was shut.

Qi Zhan shrugged, adjusted the angle of his smile, and walked to the next one.

***

After dinner, the broccoli mother-in-law, who had been dangling beside Hao Yunlai for a week, suddenly said goodbye to Hao Yunlai.

"I'm leaving." Granny Broccoli opened the door, and the moonlight passed through her fat translucent body, shining straight at Hao Yunlai's feet, pulling out a faint shadow.

"Where are you going?" Hao Yunlai was a little reluctant to give up her broccoli mother-in-law, after she left, no one would tell her the long and short stories of the neighborhood, she still didn't know if the uncle Wang, whose wife had been dead for more than ten years, had dead wood in spring, didn't know if the sister who sold pork in the vegetable market could go to school at New Oriental smoothly, and I didn't know if the mother and daughter-in-law of the uncle of the community security guard would quarrel before, she still had a lot of questions.

But the answers to these questions will have to be explored by yourself in the future.

Granny Broccoli replied to Hao Yunlai seriously, "I have to go home for a meal first, and I'm going to go down there after I'm done." ”

Hao Yunlai nodded, "Mother-in-law, then you go home and eat more." ”

Broccoli mother-in-law smiled, her pale face showed deep and shallow wrinkles, and after more than ten years, Hao Yunlai might sigh that the base makeup of the original dead man was so fitting, and it would not be stuck at all. But at that time, she just watched her mother-in-law's figure drift away sadly, and then waved her hand reluctantly.

"Leylai, sleep!" Hao Guoliang's hoarse shout came from inside the house.

"Hey!" Hao Yunlai turned around, and at a glance, there was a small thing on the steps, reflecting the moonlight, and it was flashing brightly. She stepped forward curiously and found that it was the talisman bag in Qi Zhan's hand in the evening. After picking up the talisman bag, she looked up curiously and turned her head to look around the deserted area.

I'll keep it for the uncle first, and I'll return it to him when he comes looking for it.

Hao Yunlai thought so, and then ran into the house quickly.

Hao Yunlai didn't tell Hao Guoliang about picking up the talisman bag, as a child's sixth sense, told her that once Hao Guoliang knew, the talisman bag would only have the fate of being thrown away.

Hao Yunlai has been silently putting the talisman bag by her side, she gets up early every day, and she also goes home quickly after school, squatting at the door of the house when she has nothing to do, waiting for Qi Zhan to appear again.

The cold came and the summer came, Hao Yunlai waited and waited until he was fifteen years old. Every day in the past, Hao Yunlai lived in fear, what she was most afraid of was the phone ringing at home from time to time, and the news from it was either the funeral of various relatives, or the scolding of debt collection, of course, ghost calls abounded. But in the past eight years, except that there will always be seven days per month, it has no fixed time, but it must be seven days in a row, sometimes from the first to the seventh, sometimes from the fifteenth to the twenty-first, all in all, these seven days will appear randomly, and there is no break every month, which is more punctual than Hao Yunlai's menstrual period. In the past seven days, wherever Hao Yunlai went, there would be small disasters, but the catastrophe that happened to her and her family never appeared in or outside the seven days.

Later, when he met Qi Zhan again, Hao Yunlai asked him about the talisman bag, but Qi Zhan just shrugged his shoulders and said that he had made a box with his fox friends in the university, which was specially used to cheat and deceive.

At that time, Hao Yunlai didn't care whether it was true or not, she only knew that with the talisman bag, her life would only flourish in the future.

"Hey, I think Ye Zheng likes you."

Hao Yunlai, who was sitting in the classroom on the third floor, looked out the window and stared at Ah Piao behind him on the right.

Except for still being able to see ghosts, her life is very stable.

Hao Yunlai turned around, the boy sitting behind her was wearing a wide blue and white school uniform, his black hair was plated with a light layer of gold by the light outside the window, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and his dark brown pupils carried the unique gentleness of a teenager. Against the grand light, he smiled brightly at Hao Yunlai.

Ten thousand years at a glance.

Hao Yunlai heard the sound of his own heartbeat.

"Don't talk nonsense." She blushed and pretended to be angry and scolded Ah Piao outside the window.

Seeing the girl at the front table on the left saying a word to the air outside the window, Ye Zheng was stunned for a moment.
