When Li Tan opened his eyes, it was already dark.

The bus bumped all the way and just arrived at an area full of rocks.

The road surface is being renovated, and it has been knocked into potholes by heavy machinery, and the bones of people sitting on the car are about to fall apart.

The night in midsummer is sweltering and humid, the air conditioner is still on in the bus, the smell of machinery and human body is mixed together, and there is also the smell of stewed meat at the roadside stall wafting out of someone's bag, or the smell of instant noodles left on the fabric , There was an indescribable bad smell in the compartment.

Originally, Li Tan was used to the smell of this garbage dump, but nearly four years of "clean" life still blew away the rotten smell from her body a lot.

Li Tan wanted to open the window to blow some air, but just as he put on the handle, the woman in the front row woke up.She turned her head and glared at Li Tan fiercely, as if Li Tan would beat her up if he dared to open it.

The woman's skin was dark, her face was riddled with grooves, and sweat dripped from the turban wrapped around her head.

Obviously, she was used to this smell, and the only thing she couldn't bear was to raise the temperature inside the car by another degree.

Her eyes stared fiercely at Li Tan, like hyenas fighting for carrion in a garbage dump, with desperate ferocity.

Li Tan hadn't seen such a look in his eyes for a long time, unlike the kindness she had spent several years getting used to, nor the hypocrisy and murderousness she occasionally caught glimpses of in the shopping malls.

Masquerades are those exclusive powers of decent people.

The people below only have this kind of undisguised, naked malice, greed and cunning, and they only care about something that they care about.

Li Tan's strength was instantly relieved, and he only moved the car window a gap like a toothpick.

The woman turned her head in satisfaction, with a smile that only belonged to the winner.

Li Tan was too lazy to argue with her, and turned his head to stare out the window.

Planes, trains, high-speed rails, and finally intercity buses.

The itinerary can be done with one flight, but she just went from city to city.

After finally arriving at Baitan, the last part of the journey insisted on leaving a good taxi instead of sitting, and ran over to squeeze this kind of passenger bus.

The light outside the window flowed like flowing water, pulling everything on the retina into long silhouettes.

When he came to his senses, everything outside the window became blurred, but Li Tan's face was reflected clearly by the glass.

Li Tan had short hair, and a few strands of hair hung down in front of his forehead, just covering up a row of street lamps speeding past in the distance.

The first time Li Guang saw her, he said that she and he were carved out of the same mold.

She looks very similar to Li Guang, with deep and three-dimensional facial features, and the depth in the sunken eye sockets is almost overflowing.

"Pity."

Li Guang's only regret is Li Tan's eyes.

Li Tan was injured when he was a child. A scar ran along the shape of his eyebrows to the tip of the tail, then climbed down a short line, spread to the corner of the eye, turned up for no reason at the end, and then pressed down again, like a small "you", a little bit Like an "X".

The triangular-eyed mourning direction suddenly changed into ferocity and hostility.

Li Tan saw this kind of incompleteness later, when she was taken to the art museum and accidentally saw piles of discarded plaster statues in the warehouse, missing arms and short legs, with deep cracks in limbs and facial features, like spider webs Climbing away, there is a strange beauty.

Colorful neon lights kept flashing across her dark eyes, leaving nothing behind.

After the long turbulence, there is only silence as deep as the night.

Although he was tired from the long journey, Li Tan's eyes became astonishingly brighter.

She is like a nocturnal beast, the more she goes to dark and remote places, the more she can find her own belonging and strength.

The bus transferred to the last bus, and at 10:30 in the middle of the night, Li Tan finally arrived at Baitan.

Baitan is a county-level city below, a small border town, most of the young people go to the sea city to seek a living, which has completely turned this place into a place for the elderly.

The pace is slow, the information is blocked, far away from the eccentric big cities, and the barbarism that tears away the veil of civilization also breeds in the slow steam.

It was the first time for Li Tan to come here, and as a few people got out of the car, he breathed a sigh of relief the moment he set foot on this land.

Like a fish in water.

Li Tan jumped out of the car, squatted at the bus stop, opened the map, and was wondering where the rented house was, when a motorcycle stopped slowly in front of her.

The owner of the car yelled at her with an incomprehensible local accent, his voice was distorted by the wind: "Let's go?"

Li Tan was taken aback, shook his head, turned sideways, and continued to study the map in front of him while walking.

The car owner kicked the clutch, and the car slid slowly with Li Tan: "It's so late, it's a small place, and you can't get a car. It's late at night, you are a child, how unsafe... Is there no one in your house? They Don't worry about you hanging out alone?"

The owner of the car seemed to be warm-hearted. After he chanted for a full minute, Li Tan finally couldn't stand it any longer. She raised her head and stared at the owner with a blunt tone: "Thank you, I don't need it."

The sound is neutral, deep and magnetic.

The car owner was taken aback: "Female, female?"

Li Tan ignored it and walked forward in big strides.

When he left home, Li Tan only carried a backpack and didn't even drag a suitcase. Now he wanted to hide from people, but he did so briskly.

A lot of people are afraid of the dark, so many families will set up door hours for children, trying to keep the danger out of the house through time restrictions.

But Li Tan is not.

She had been one of the dark before, and now she just returned to this place.

She's been away for so long though, she needs time to get used to it.

This is the reason why Li Tan doesn't call a taxi, she enjoys and even yearns for the familiarity of wandering wantonly in the dark.

Leaving the station, the street lights flickered dimly along the way, and cars were rarely seen. She passed a construction site, and the gravel road was occasionally sped by motorcycles or tricycles.The sound of insects chirping in the weeds on both sides and the sound of engines chug one after another.After walking for a long time, she saw one or two houses with lights on. The dirty display screen read "Happiness Hotel", and there was a string of small characters below: "50/night".

Everything that is far from the big city makes Li Tan feel at ease.

Baitan is a small place, and it only took Li Tan about two hours to walk from the suburbs to the city.

At this point most of the stores have closed, but there are still some food stalls open late at night, earning money for those who like to go out at night.

Men pulling goods at night, women standing on the street, homeless vagabonds, gangsters who gathered to fight and smash the scene, gathered around the barbecue stalls, bars, and camped with dogs. It was so lively.

The scent of cumin floated into Li Tan's stomach, arousing her appetite that had been silent all day.

Just then, the phone in his pocket buzzed.

Li Tan glanced at it when he took it out, it was Li Guang.

She pressed on to build.

"Have you settled down yet?"

"No."

"Why are you still hanging out at this late hour?" Li Guang's tone suddenly became strict, and then he realized something, and suddenly eased up, "Forget it, I can't say anything about you. You don't let Uncle Chen Seeing you off, I have to go to Baitan by myself... Be careful on the road, don't wander around outside, and send me a text message when you get home."

Li Tan picked an empty table and sat down. The proprietress slapped the menu in front of her, almost shaking off the layer of oil attached to it.

Li Tan casually ordered a few skewers, and signaled with his eyes that the proprietress could take them away.

"I haven't eaten yet." Li Tan casually followed, "I guess it will be very late."

Haven't eaten yet, eat now, and find the house after eating, maybe the next day will be dawn. Li Guang has to go to work tomorrow, so he will definitely not make it to this point.

"Li Tan! Do you know how much we are at home..."

"Here is better than He County, it's very safe, I'll send you a message when I get home, you go to bed first." Seeing that Li Guang was about to get angry again, Li Tan quickly cut off the phone.

With a sound of "dong", the proprietress pried a bottle of cold beer in front of her, and left without looking back.

Li Tan gulped down half a bottle in one breath, and finally suppressed the irritability that had just arisen.

She has a headache.

Since coming to the Li family, everything has deviated from the normal track.

At the beginning, I was barely able to get by. After all, it was a relative I hadn’t seen for many years. All frictions and conflicts were swallowed up by guilt and sympathy.

But no amount of patience will always be exhausted one day.

She had grown wildly like weeds in He County for so many years, and was suddenly taken to a well-cut and elegantly decorated garden. No matter in terms of temperament, habits, or even life skills, she was incompatible with the Li family.

What's more, it is still a royal garden.

Li Tan still remembers the first time he was taken to that so-called "home", and he didn't even know how to use the water heater.

She stood helplessly in the bathtub, crazily missing the dilapidated house that made her sick.

Li Tan couldn't even adapt to the life of an ordinary family, let alone the upper class with more rules.

So after the initial patience and control, there were only endless quarrels and cold wars between her and her biological parents.

During this summer vacation, Li Guang's business was booming, and he was about to enter the Baitan market. Li Tan finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"I'll go to Baitan to help you take a look first." Li Tan said abruptly at the dinner table, "Just so everyone can calm down."

"Don't talk about food." Li Guang didn't listen at all, and just glanced over.

Li Tan ignored it: "Market research, you have been taught this, and the teacher also said that I have learned it well, so I will give it to you as soon as possible."

"Bullshit!"

Li Tan doesn't remember clearly the subsequent disputes, but the result is obvious. They had to compromise in the huge gap in living habits.

No one expected her to make anything.

Market research is just to give Li Tan this "mistake" a reasonable excuse to leave.

The barbecue came up one after another. Li Tan sat leaning against the edge of the table, straddled her body, and stepped down on her shoulders. She was integrated into the crowd of diners. Her position had a good view, and she could see the entire barbecue stand at a glance.

Drinking, punching, swearing, telling dirty jokes from time to time, street girls wandering back and forth in front of each table, if you are lucky, you can hook up with one to solve tomorrow's living expenses.

Groups of three and five, yelling five and drinking six, this is the portrayal of most county towns at night.

There are not many singles in such an environment, and Li Tan quickly noticed—it was also single, and it was also a girl.

With curly hair and shawl, heavy makeup, facing her sideways in the blurry night, the facial features cannot be seen clearly, but the coquettish and coquettish attitude can be seen at a glance.

When Li Tan was sizing up, he met with many coveted eyes, the eyes met, and then quickly staggered.

She took out her mobile phone and pretended to be texting someone, glancing at him from the corner of her eyes from time to time.

The girl is eating a grilled fish.

Both are holding mobile phones.

It's just that the former is really playing, and the latter took the opportunity to observe secretly.

Li Tan noticed that there were many scrutinizing eyes on him, but no one dared to act rashly.

Visitors from a small place will of course be noticed by local snakes, not to mention that she has an unconcealable hostility.

After being tortured for three years, Li Tan finally learned to restrain himself.

But it is not a good thing to restrain one's hostility in this kind of place, otherwise she is alone, let alone a minor, and the "original sin" of gender alone is enough to make her drink a pot.

At the moment of stepping into Baitan, the Pandora's box that had been suppressed for three years was finally opened.

It's not just the environment that made Li Greedy feel at ease, but also the hostile self who was finally released.

This made her attract attention, but it also made her feel safe.

In front of strangers with moody expressions, local snakes dare not come to provoke them without any problems.

Someone stared at Li Tan, Li Tan looked at the girl, but the girl didn't look at anything.

She stared at the air, and from time to time raised a strand of hair hanging down to her ears, like a street girl posing on the side of the road, but she also had a secret and completely different temperament.

Maybe it's because of youth, maybe it's something else.

Li Tan couldn't tell, she always felt that the girl gave her a sense of familiarity, but when she first came to Baitan, she didn't know anyone.

The roast came and the girl was eating the fish.

The chips came and the girl was eating the fish.

Another bottle of beer came and the girl was eating the fish.

Roadside barbecue stalls, plastic stools, folding tables, people around change quickly, very lively.

Strangely, no one bothered the girl either.

For the same fish, the girl moved her chopsticks 72 times.

The girl put down her chopsticks, took out her mobile phone, said something to someone, and suddenly laughed.The red lips are slightly raised, the winking eyes are raised, the coquettish posture and the clinking tassels are all natural.

She suddenly understood that she had seen many goblins in He County before, all of them were like this, nestled in the arms of a certain "big brother", tried their best to show their feminine charm, and won the title of "sister-in-law" , Attaching to someone, enjoying the power and compliments that come with attachment, mixing with the feasting and feasting, rotten into a mess, unable to see clearly the original appearance under the heavy makeup.

Li Tan suddenly felt a little bored.

But she did feel an indescribable loneliness.
