The brilliant neon lights highlight the splendor of the Oriental Pearl Tower, the bungalows on the Bund make people confused in this city, and the dazzling light on the Huangpu River reflects the vicissitudes of life of countless hardworking people.

Walking by the river, the cold wind blows.

"Huh, this year has just passed, but it's really cold." A young man who looked to be in his 20s stood by the river and looked at the stars in the sky and murmured to himself. The boy was wearing cheap and simple clothes, and a khaki A white cashmere coat, a pair of sky blue jeans and unknown brand sneakers were worn underneath.Seeing how the very young face did not match his deep and vicissitudes of life, this big boy's name was Gu Ning.

The young man continued to walk forward. It was the early morning of New Year's Eve, and the whole street was deserted, and it was impossible to see its prosperity in the evening.

After walking for about 10 minutes, an old man dressed in gray with white hair and a red face sat beside the street.In front of him is a piece of linen cloth, with a book that looks very chronological and a pendant that looks like tears placed on it.

Gu Ning walked to the old man's stall and said, "Hey, uncle, you're celebrating the Chinese New Year and you're still setting up a stall here so late!"

The old man showed a kind smile to him: "Haha, how about you, let me get off work early."

Inadvertently, I looked at the old man, and for a moment I felt as if I was in the universe, with the stars in the sky floating by. For a moment, I saw the old man's smile again, and felt that the experience just now was unreal and must be an illusion.

Gu Ning picked up the ancient book on the stall and looked at it. It looked a bit older, but nothing special. Finally, he smiled: "Eternal Sword Code, this is the 21st century, there is no such thing as martial arts." , It’s New Year’s Eve, you should go home early, I bought the things for how much they cost.”

The old man was still staring at Gu Ning with a smile on his face, his eyes squinted with a meaningful look, and he suddenly said: "Young man, I am here waiting for you, the destined person. You can take the things."

Gu Ning suddenly felt that this was an old man with a weird temper. Although he said he didn't believe in martial arts or anything like that, who didn't have a martial arts dream of being a chivalrous man?He picked up his things and was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he turned around and left two red tickets: "I'm leaving, uncle. You can go home early to celebrate the New Year."

After walking more than 20 meters, I looked back and saw that the old man had disappeared, as if he had never been here before.Gu Ning looked at the pendant and the "Eternal Sword Code" in his hand, his pupils shrank, and he was afraid for a while: "Hey, I really hit the devil, I'd better go back quickly." Thinking about it, he also quickened his pace.

"Huh, that old man is really weird. He disappeared out of thin air! How could something like this happen during the Chinese New Year! It's a bit unlucky..." Gu Ning, who had just walked out on the street, thought to himself, remembering that the old man hadn't walked out yet. Feeling trembling, he walked forward uncertainly. Unexpectedly, there were four trucks behind him and he was knocked out. Gu Ning fell into a pool of blood in an instant.

A middle-aged man who looked about 40 years old stepped out of the truck. He was dressed in work clothes, but he had the aura of a superior, not like a truck driver.The middle-aged man walked to the side of the street, took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one.

The middle-aged man blew out a smoke ring and said to himself: "Huh, this year's performance has reached the standard." After saying that, he turned and walked into the darkness.And the truck with four in the front and eight in the back suddenly disappeared.

In the magical city in winter, lying in a pool of blood on the cold asphalt road, Gu Ning looked at the stars in the sky and wanted to reach out to grab them, but his consciousness gradually became blurred: "Oh, I didn't expect that I was going to die. I have only lived for 24 years." , I haven’t lived enough yet.”

Looking back before his death, Gu Ning once again recalled his life. Many things that he could not remember were so clear at this moment.

I have never seen my parents since I was born and grew up in an orphanage. Fortunately, the orphanage gave me the warmth of home, but it also lacked true fatherly and maternal love. At the age of 14, he went to school and worked part-time to support himself. He envied his peers who were loved by their parents.

After ten years of studying hard, I got an admission notice from Fudan University, which I couldn't afford at all. Although I was working part-time while studying, I was still just an ordinary person. Because working also affected my studies, I could only do nothing in my life and be an ordinary person. He is a social animal, and now he feels that this kind of life is not bad, at least it is much better than the feeling of disappearing at this moment.

Until the end, there were crystal tears in the corners of Gu Ning's eyes. "I hope I can live a better life in the next life." Just as Gu Ning was gradually losing his vitality, the pendant in his left hand emitted a dazzling light. After entering his heart, the stars in the sky became brighter and brighter, and everything around him seemed to have stopped in time.Gu Ning's body also continued to shrink, and finally returned to its baby appearance.

The "Star Sword Codex" stained red by blood also turned into rows of Song-style characters, and a puff of smoke penetrated into Gu Ning's mind.The surroundings are getting brighter and brighter. It was originally dark, but now it seems like day.

When the light slowly faded, Gu Ning, who turned back time and became a baby, also disappeared, and the surrounding area slowly recovered, leaving only the pool of blood on the ground.
