Qingyunguan's Datong shop was hard and cold, but Lu Ran didn't dream again this night.

When he woke up the next day, Guan Ying had already taken Lingzhen to start the morning class, and the breakfast was made by Lingzhen, and Lu Ran couldn't understand why it was so delicious this morning.

Lu Ran got up, greeted Guanying, said that he had something to do, and went down the mountain alone.

Lu Ran did have things to do, and there were two more.

The first is to find a way to return to Tai'er.

According to past experience, Lu Ran already knows that the element of crossing the other world is water, from the first time he jumped into the turbid sea to Li Play being swept up by the waves, all of them verified this matter, in addition to water, there is another element, that is, the six-character mantra of "where do you come from, where do you go back" in Xie Qiaokou's mouth, but Lu Ran was a little unable to find the direction this time, one is that he remembered that there was no water on the Wanhuan Tower before he came, and he was trapped in the [Blind Light Array], only the fire and heat, and through this fire and heat, the whole city was only full of fire, everywhere he saw, Where does the water come from?

Since I don't know where there is water, let's start with another element, to find the "where" of "where it came from", although this is also very abstract, although I have never forgotten that before I came, I was in a beam of light in a collapsed building, but this "beam of light" and "collapsed building", in a modern city like Gun Harbor, one is too much, the other is too little, and there is no way to find it, fortunately, there is also a clue to Li Xiaoyu, it is Li Xiaoyu who picked him up home, so he has to find the place where Li Xiaoyu has been.

All in all, the way back is unknown, and the blind cat has to meet the dead mouse.

It depends on whether the signboard of him, a "destined person", is still bright and spiritual.

As for the second thing, it is the so-called fried rice, fried noodles, fried noodles, and beer plan.

In order not to cause trouble to Guan Yingling, this matter must be carried out without them, and the plan itself must also be carried out in the local area of Gun Harbor, so the two things have become one, and for a long time, Lu Ran ran ran around the streets of Gun Harbor all day long, to meet some people he wanted to see, and to look for Li Xiaoyu's traces that day.

During this period, Guanying and Lingzhen got along well, and Qu Xian also picked up Huizhen the next day after talking to Lu Ran, and Lu Ran went out every day when he got up, sometimes he didn't come back after dark, and occasionally he took Guanying and Lingzhen to the city to play together, and the days passed quickly.

Lu Ran began to understand a little bit of what the fire lady said back then.

- The city seems to be a huge hideaway.

And he, in this city full of contradictions and fast pace, in the play of hide and seek again and again, has benefited a lot, and the key is that he has been rested.

When Lu Ran came, it was the end of summer, and in the blink of an eye, an autumn had passed, and he came to the winter of Gun Harbor.

After New Year's Day, it came 1897, and this year would be an epoch-making year for the entire Gun Harbor and the people of Gun Harbor.

Lu Ran's fried rice, fried noodles, fried noodles and beer plan has been completed, Li Xiaoyu's path before his death is also familiar with the road, and Lu Ran also learned to ride a motorcycle, but the opportunity to go back is still not found, nor has he met it.

On this day, Lu Ran came to Helena Road in Triangle Tsui, and the entrance of Hongsheng's Wanbei Hall was set here.

It is said that this is one of the places that Li Xiaoyu went to most often before hiding in Qianmen.

Hong Sheng's original words, the third floor of the "joy" chess and card room is where I and the foolish brother go to work.

In fact, Lu Ran has been to this place more than once, in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and there are sunny, rainy, and typhoon days, but there are no "collapsed buildings" nearby, so every time Lu Ran comes here, he squats for two quarters of an hour out of boredom, and hears the strange woman's voice always coming from upstairs, so he leaves stupidly.

But tonight seems to be a little different, a red flag is hung at the door of the "Joy" chess and card room.

Lu Ran didn't know this red flag, but he had been here for so long, and he still knew a little about the meaning of this flag.

The city is coming back, and it's time for me to return.

Lu Ran stared at the flag, and suddenly seemed to remember something, he remembered the dream he had on the first night at the home of the three sisters.

The first half of the dream is water, and the second half is fire.

But at the end of the dream, the four-colored light turned into a ball of red.

And then he was in that red.

Then he woke up and saw a red blanket that Lizhen had covered him.

It's red.

In addition to the water, in addition to the collapsed edifice, there is a third element!

It's red!

Lu Ran came to his senses and began to look on the street, and soon he found that in addition to the red flags that were newly hung up by many houses, there was another kind of red on the corner of this street.

Around the corner, there is a flower shop.

In the most eye-catching position in front of the store, there is a large bouquet of red roses.

It's this kind of Xu Fu's red color.

Lu Ran walked over, it was the rush hour at this time, and the intersection was congested with pedestrians and vehicles, and it was very busy.

There was a wagon, laden with red roses, heading in, presumably on the eve of some kind of festival, to replenish the florist.

Lu Ran stared at the red color of the carriage, and was thinking about whether to lie down and try it, when he looked down and saw a child holding a building block in his hand, walking under the car as if no one was there.

When the truck driver saw it, it was too late, he slammed the steering wheel, and the car reversed to the side.

At this time, Lu Ran had already rushed over, but the child was too close to the truck, so he could only stretch out Miss Tree in a ten-thousandth of a breath and pick the child to a safe place, but he also flew out.

The car also flew out to the side, and a cart of red roses immediately floated away, and Lu Ran saw a few beams of light shining through the 100,000 roses that almost covered the sky.

And the boy had fallen to the ground, and the bricks in his hand were Lego 6097, called the Batlord's Castle, which had just been built, and the child had fallen to pieces.

"A Beam of Light"

"The Collapsed Building"

"Lady's Red"

All three elements are in place.

At this time, Lu Ran, who was flying in the air, was pleasantly surprised to discover all this.

Going back?

Not really.

Lu Ran still fell heavily to the ground.

Still can't do it?

Lu Ran got up and walked towards the boy who had fallen, wanting to help him up and comfort him.

The little boy, who seemed to be fine, rolled over and climbed up on his own, and when he got up, he saw his "work" fall to pieces at first sight, and he couldn't bear it, and he cried out with a whimper.

As soon as he cried, Lu Ran saw a crystal tear across his little face.

Yes, a tear.

Lu Ran didn't even notice that there was still a tear in the element.

Tears are also water, Xie Qiao's immortal art, how can there be less water.

A tear reflects everything.

"A Beam of Light", "Collapsed Building", "Xu Fu's Red", and the entire pre-return Gun Harbor City.

Lu Ran, just like that, completed the return earlier than the gun port.

In the second month after Lu Ran left, Lingzhen found four strange pieces of paper among the relics left by Master Guanying, on which were pasted with four sticky notes, respectively written "fried rice", "fried noodles", "fried noodles" and "beer", the two studied for a long time, and found that this was Lu Ran's handwriting, and the four pieces of paper were Huifeng Bank cashier's notes, each with five million, a total of 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the fifth month after Lu Ran left, on the eve of the return of Gun Port, Angeline took a newspaper handed over by a colleague, with a bold red headline reading "Former Gun Port Chinese Inspector Yan Gang died of illness in Pattaya, Siam last night", Angeline was a little surprised, but she didn't feel too much, just took out a notebook from the drawer and turned a page, on which there were several names crossed out by people, Han Le, Lei Luo, Lin Yao, Zhou Wang...... Angeline paused, as if remembering something, and finally crossed out the name of Yan Gang, the last person on the list.

Six years after Lu Ran left, Qu Xian, director of the neurology department of St. Mary's Hospital, created a medical miracle, and Li Huizhen, a girl who had been hospitalized in St. Mary's Hospital for six years, opened her eyes again on a thunderstorm night.
