If the world had no daylight

The first thing Bai Tian did when he stepped into the house was to lock it smoothly.

She took off her uncomfortable little leather shoes, went straight into the bathroom, and turned on the shower.

The warm water came slowly, just giving her time to cool down.Bai Tian raised his head, letting the water wash over his face and body, wet the skirt on his body, and absorb the sticky weight on the skin.

Only then did the warm mist emerge, covering her body.

Bring a long-lost sense of suffocation.

For a long time, Bai Tian didn't dare to take a bath in the bathroom.Especially the bathroom in the old house.

In an empty house, only the sound of rushing water echoing, is a very scary thing.

Bai Tian often wakes up in the middle of the night, looking at the dark room and having auditory hallucinations.

She always felt that there was someone in the bathroom, and maybe within a minute, someone would come out wearing sandals, wipe her hair and walk to her door, saying, "Go to bed early."

But Bai Tian sat on the bed and waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for this sentence.

So she could only lie down again slowly, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and continued to face the long night that she could not sleep.

But what is even more desperate is that her hallucinations are not limited to hearing, but also smell.

Bai Tian washed the sheets and dried the quilt every sunny day, but at night, she still smelled someone else.

The old house was obviously very big and empty, but she had nowhere to escape.

The news of Chen Huiru stopped talking on the phone there, and then there was no news again.

But time did not give Bai Tian more chances to think wildly. She was successfully selected for the semi-finals of the "Master of Cooking Competition", and she was the youngest candidate in the youth group.

Zhao Yuelan seemed to be happier than her, and he wanted to invite her to have a meal to celebrate, but Bai Tian was also very happy, and rarely agreed to her proposal for a dinner.

Liu Ran was uncharacteristically saying that he had something to do at home and wanted to go back early, giving up this great opportunity.

Bai Tian waited for him to walk away before looking away.

Zhao Yuelan looked at her and asked, "What?"

She shook her head, didn't say anything, and followed Zhao Yuelan to a specialty restaurant.

This restaurant is a Spanish-style restaurant. Zhao Yuelan discovered its authentic taste by accident, so she always wanted to bring Bai Tian to try it.

Bai Tian didn't understand Spanish food, so he ordered some according to her recommendations, and then took out his mobile phone to make a call while Zhao Yuelan was going to the bathroom.

"Hey, Aunt Li, my stuff is in Liu Ran's place. Has he come home yet? Let him put it in the yard for me."

The person on the opposite side asked strangely: "Didn't he say that he would buy tutoring materials with you?"

Bai Tian pursed his lips, and replied: "That's right, he'll go back after we finish shopping, and I'll call when he gets home."

"I'll tell him when he comes back, don't worry." Aunt Li readily agreed.

After Bai Tian hung up the phone, he walked out of the restaurant and called Liu Ran.

No one answered the first call, so she made a second and third call. It was not until the fifth time that the call was finally connected.

Bai Tian suddenly raised his voice and said: "Where did you go? Your mother said you didn't go home, and you lied to her, Liu Xiaopang, you are so courageous!"

The person on the phone didn't make a sound, Bai Tian frowned, walked to a quiet corner, and asked again: "Speak, where have you been?"

No one spoke this time, she was a little annoyed, and was about to get angry when she heard a faint breathing.

That's not a normal breathing sound, if you insist, it's like the panting sound after running 1000 meters in physical education class.

Bai Tian paused, then lowered his voice and said, "Tell me, where are you?"

There was another burst of silent blankness, Bai Tian waited patiently, but a bad feeling arose in his heart.Holding her phone, she avoided the crowd and walked out of the street.

"Liu Ran, did you secretly investigate Chen Huiru's affairs behind my back? Where are you? How can I help you if you don't tell me?"

Bai Tian walked faster and faster, even her tone became a little anxious. She stood at the corner of the street, looked around for places where taxis could be taken, and quickly analyzed where Liu Ran might go in her mind.

In other words, it was the place where Zhang Laowu and his group were active.

There was a rustling sound on the other end of the phone, and then a familiar voice said intermittently: "Boss...don't come here...something is wrong here..."

Liu Ran's voice was quick and weak, as if he was hiding somewhere, and he only dared to speak in a breathy voice.

Bai Tian paused, and cursed: "I'll give you three fucking seconds, if you don't tell me, I'll call the police!"

"...behind the old street of the hardware store."

It was the worst street in their area, where Bai Tian met Zhang Laowu's younger brother, that was the time when they were looking for Wei Zheng everywhere.She had also been to the alley there, the time she was taken there by someone in a daze.

She still wanted to ask, but the other person quickly said: "Don't come, really don't come, just call the police."

After finishing speaking, I hung up the phone, but when I called again, it was already turned off.

Bai Tian grabbed the phone, thought for ten seconds, and stopped a taxi directly to give the place name.

The driver kindly reminded: "Little girl, what are you going to do there in the dark, it's very dangerous."

Bai Tian didn't have any extra mood to explain to him, he just urged: "Master, hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

The driver sighed, started the car and turned around.

She sat on the back seat of the car and kept calling Liu Ran, trying to find out what was going on before deciding whether to call the police.After all, to call the police is also to explain the reason clearly, and the police station will call the police.

But the other party kept turning off the phone, Bai Tian saw the battery of the phone was continuously drained, so he had no choice but to give up.

Under her constant urging, the taxi quickly arrived outside the old street.The road inside was so bad that the driver didn't want to go in, and Bai Tian didn't force it, so he rushed in after paying the money in a hurry.

The driver watched her hesitate to speak, but he could only shake his head and returned to the car.

After walking into this street, Bai Tian understood what Liu Ran meant.

There used to be many hardware stores, scrap shops, and car repair shops here, but now they are all closed.This is very abnormal, Bai Tian knew it clearly, but she couldn't turn around and leave.

Without the lights of the store, the street lights on this road have long been broken. Bai Tian can only walk alone in the narrow street where he can't see his fingers.

She took out her phone and turned it to silent, and walked against the wall, but she didn't see a living person for a long time.

There is a small alley leading directly to the back of this street. It is a deserted construction site, next to the garbage dump, and the stench is so bad on weekdays that no one wants to go there.

Bai Tian met that group of people at this alley, she stopped, hesitated for a moment, and walked in lightly.

The further you go in, the stronger the smell of all kinds of garbage in the air.Bai Tian held his breath, carefully avoiding the unknown liquid on the ground, not even daring to stick it against the wall.

It's too dirty here, and the school uniform I'm wearing might be scrapped when I go back tonight.

As Bai Tian walked in, she took out her mobile phone and held it in her hand. She glanced at the time, it was not too late, but she didn't know how long it would take to find Liu Ran.

As soon as this idea came up, Bai Tian heard the sound of clothes rubbing against the wall.

She stopped immediately, hid it carefully, and stood motionless in the corner for a long time.

There was something sticky and wet on the wall, and the back of Bai Tian's hand touched a little. She suppressed the discomfort and didn't take her hand back.

The voice has disappeared, but Bai Tian's ability to listen and distinguish is very good, and he can hear the voice coming from the corner on the right in front.

Bai Tian tried his best to calm himself down, thought carefully for a while, then gritted his teeth and walked over step by step.

Behind the corner on the right is a cul-de-sac, but narrower and easily overlooked when passing by.The last time she was brought into this alley, it was from there that she woke up.If Liu Ran hid, then the possibility of him hiding here...

Bai Tian stopped in his tracks, looked at the figure from behind, and breathed a sigh of relief silently.

"Liu Ran." Bai Tian called him softly.

The little fat man squatted on the ground and suddenly turned his head.His face was covered with sweat, and his clothes were mostly wet. His eyes looked at Bai Tian from shock to anxiety, and then to complicated.

"I told you not to come." He whispered, but quickly came over and grabbed Bai Tian, ​​making her squat down and hide behind him.

Seeing that he was fine and nothing was wrong, Bai Tian felt relieved and quickly asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Liu Ran looked around the corner vigilantly, lowered his voice and said quickly, "I originally heard the news that Zhou Xiaoxing came to see Zhang Lao Wu again today, so I wanted to come over to block people."

Bai Tian resisted the urge to scold him, and continued to listen to him.

"But when I got here, I realized something was wrong. All Zhang Laowu's younger brothers came out today, and each of them took their guys to the construction site behind."

Liu Ran's face turned pale as he spoke, obviously frightened by the scene.

"I thought they were going to clean up Zhou Xiaoxing, so I quietly followed behind, and wanted to call the police if the situation was wrong. It turned out that there was not only a wave of them today, but another wave."

Having said this, Bai Tian already understood, she frowned, and asked in a low voice, "A group fight?"

Liu Ran nodded, then listened to the commotion outside, and continued: "We've been fighting for a while, and there was a lot of commotion at the beginning. I was so frightened that all the shops outside were closed, and I ran back."

Bai Tian made a decisive decision, pulled him to stand up, and said quickly: "Let's leave before they come out."

Liu Ran also thought so, but he just ran out of strength and had to hide and rest for a while.

Bai Tian pulled him, first quietly waited at the corner, and after making sure no one was coming, the two quickly walked out of the alley.

Liu Ran was covered in sweat and was frightened. He couldn't stop being afraid when he walked outside on the street.

"It's really scary. I usually hear them say that group fights are awesome, but I only know when I see them. They are all desperate. Fight to death. Half of my life was scared away."

Bai Tian is not in the mood to settle accounts with him now, so he dragged him away faster and faster, but fortunately, this place is not far from home, and he entered the old housing area not long after.

Liu Ran's words couldn't be stopped at all, as if he couldn't vent his anger if he didn't speak, he spoke quickly: "Why don't we call the police, I think Zhou Xiaoxing must have escaped, and Zhang Laowu and the others are so numerous , there are only a few people on the opposite side, I am really afraid of killing people."

"How many people are there?" Bai Tian stopped, feeling something was wrong.

Liu Ran nodded and said: "Yes, I listened to it from behind, and said that Zhang Laowu found the person who beat him last time, and he is going to seek revenge tonight, and that posture may really kill the other person. ..."

As soon as he stopped talking, he looked at the person who was standing still, and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong?"

Bai Tian raised his head and said calmly: "I came out without telling Zhao Yuelan, you go back first, I'll give her a call."

As she spoke, she picked up the phone and opened the cover. Liu Ran didn't doubt that he was there, and indeed she was out of energy, so she waved her hand and turned around to continue walking.

Bai Tian waited for him to go far away, listening to the sound of shutting down the phone, then quickly hung up and dialed another number.

Still shutting down.

There were several unread messages in the text box. Bai Tian clicked on them and found that they were all from Zhao Yuelan. She casually replied that she had something to go home, and then stood there holding her phone and calmed down.

Ten seconds later, Bai Tian turned around and returned the same way.

This time she walked faster, and in the end she simply ran, and returned to the old street again.

Bai Tian ran to the entrance of the alley, and walked in quickly without any hesitation.

If she had been as calm as she had been, she would have stopped, walked out of the alley, and called the police.

Instead of going straight into the dark alley and heading straight for the stinking garbage dump.

Many times, ifs in this world are only ifs.

People put forward this hypothesis because of regret, so give yourself a little psychological comfort and a hypothetical plan to choose again.

But many years later, when Bai Tian recalled this day and this night, she couldn't help but ask herself:

"Do you regret it?"
