As night fell, the cold wind suddenly picked up, and people who walked at night huddled up and hurriedly walked on the street when the lights were first turned on.

Not far away, in the crowded Hongqiao Pedestrian Street Plaza, Zhang Lan dragged his suitcase through the crowd.

He walked aimlessly, not knowing where to go, the bustling crowd had their own direction, but he didn't know where the road was.

When he saw those happy families with their wives and daughters walking past him with a smile, the sense of happiness written on their faces made him feel a sense of loneliness in his heart, as if he was the city the deserters.

At this time, Zhang Lan, who was kicked out of school, was extremely lost and lonely. He suddenly felt homesick, and he didn't know how his parents, brothers and sisters were doing well. Unfortunately, he might have no money to send back next month. home.

Suddenly, a drop of rain fell and landed on Zhang Lan's cheek. He reached out to touch the raindrop, and felt a chill. The raindrops gathered more and more, and slowly formed a line. Depending on the situation, it will be an unbearable cold. It's rainy night.

Zhang Lan had to find an underground passage or something, where he could shelter temporarily from the wind and rain. As for the issue of overnight accommodation, it was a long-term plan.

In the center of Hongqiao Square, under an arch bridge spanning east and west, there is an underground passage.After a while, Zhang Lan dragged the suitcase, stomped and walked into the underground passage. Looking up, there were quite a lot of pedestrians passing the underground passage.

After walking more than ten steps, an incomparably melodious piano sound came, and a man leaning against the corner playing the erhu caught his attention.

This person has long hair, covering half of his sunglasses, and he is dressed like a beggar. There is a bowl of money under his feet. Inside the bowl are several coins and banknotes of different denominations.

The man was surrounded by three or four listeners, tasting the music.

Taking a look at the entertainer, Zhang Lan dragged the suitcase aside, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes to listen.

This qin melody has the artistic conception of "The Moon Reflected in the Two Springs", which is sad and sorrowful, as bitter as a complaint, and the hearts of those who listen to it will be heartbroken.

At this time, the music just fit Zhang Lan's state of mind, and a feeling of desolation of being kicked out of school emerged spontaneously. Zhang Lan felt that the music was clearly played for him.

Zhang Lan leaned against the wall and listened, slowly intoxicated by the piano music. He recalled the whole incident of fighting with the prince, from the beginning of "hero saving the beauty" to being expelled from school by Gu Hong and kicked out of school. During the whole process, he suddenly felt a sense of self-mockery. He felt his own pedantry and childishness, the warmth and warmth of human feelings, the trampling of dignity, and the strength and status that are the powerful backing of dignity.He thought it through a lot, maybe being kicked out of school this time might not necessarily be a good thing for his mental growth, the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other.

A moment later, the man finished playing the song, and Zhang Lan was still intoxicated in the bleak artistic conception and did not wake up until a few people threw coins into the bowl, which woke up Zhang Lan, who had closed his eyes.

Zhang Lan opened his eyes, and looked at the man gratefully, as if he wanted to see his eyes clearly from behind his wide sunglasses.

Zhang Lan didn't expect to hear such a high-level erhu performance in this underground passage, what a blessing!This is very much like a healing song, but also like a song that touches people's mood, and Zhang Lan has benefited a lot.

Seeing the bounty lying in the bowl, Zhang Lan remembered that the bounty hadn't been paid after listening to the music, so he went to dig out his wallet, but when he checked his pocket, it was empty, his wallet had disappeared.

Although there is only less than 1000 yuan in this wallet, it is the last property he has to settle down. How will he live after losing it now?

Seeing Zhang Lan fumbling in his pockets, looking anxious to find something, the man guessed that Zhang Lan must have lost something.

"What's the matter, did you lose your wallet?" the man asked with concern.

"Well, I lost my wallet. It must have been stolen by a thief while taking the bus. I'm really sorry. I planned to give you some money." Zhang Lan pretended to be distressed after losing the money, and his expression was not very good. good.

"Having you as a bosom friend to listen to the music, I am happier than any other rewards. To be honest, I didn't come here to play the erhu for rewards." The man said.

That's right, Zhang Lan took a closer look at the man, no matter in temperament or conversation, there was no trace of a beggar's sour taste, as if he still felt that this man had an indescribable bearing.

"Oh, it's not for rewards? What is that for? Is it for experiencing life?"

Indeed, there are quite a few rich people living on the streets in order to experience the warmth and comfort of the world.Zhang Lan guessed that this man might be such a person.

"That's right. I saw you were intoxicated just now, can you understand the meaning of my song?" The man asked with great interest.

Zhang Lan laughed and said, "I don't dare to talk about bosom friends, it's just that your song just fits my current state of mind."

The man was even more curious: "What mood?"

So Zhang Lan poured out the bitter water and explained the matter of being kicked out of Huada in a concise and concise manner. After talking about it, he felt much better.

After the man heard this, his face suddenly became a little ferocious, and there was a threatening aura on his body: "What a dog official who uses power to overwhelm others!"

It seems that this man is also an angry youth.

Seeing that the man was filled with righteous indignation, Zhang Lan didn't seem to be pretending, so he asked tentatively: "Looking at the age of my brother, he should not be much older than me. Are you still studying?"

The man said indifferently: "I have always been a student and have never stopped. Even if I graduate in the future, I will still be a student."

Zhang Lan was puzzled, what does this mean?

"Oh, what school are you from?"

"Same school as you!" the man said.

"What?" Zhang Lan was surprised that he was from the same school, and asked his name quickly.

The man didn't tell him his name directly, but asked indifferently: "Have you heard of Huada Master List?"

Zhang Lan nodded. Who doesn't know that, since he got the Dali Vajra Finger, it is his goal to be among the masters of Huada.

"Oh, I don't know how much you know about this master list?" the man asked.

How much Zhang Lan can know, at most they know their rankings, so he said what he knows about the rankings, and I don't know if the rankings are correct.

"Well, the order of the ranking is basically like this, but there is one thing you may not know, except for one person in the top ten of the master list, all of them are born in families or famous families."

Zhang Lan shook his head, he really didn't know this.

The man said: "The top seven are the sons of the seven great families in China, known as the Seventh Young Master of the Campus, the eighth and No. 9, although they are not the children of a big family, but they are still born in a big family, only No. 10 No, he was born into a poor family."

Zhang Lan seemed to understand something: "You mean Qin Tian who is ranked tenth? Could it be that you are..."

Qin Tian nodded.

Zhang Lan was very pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect to meet such an expert as Qin Tian in this passage. His face was full of idol worship, and then he was puzzled: Why did Qin Tian come here to play the erhu?Is he short of money?impossible!With his fame, he can make money doing anything.

Therefore, Zhang Lan told Qin Tian the doubts in his heart.

Qin Tian chuckled, this was the first time he laughed with Zhang Lan, this smile made Zhang Lan feel that Qin Tian's slightly pale face should be considered handsome.

"Didn't I just say that I came here to play the erhu not for money. Although I was born in a poor family, I am not short of money. I came here to sharpen my mind."

This Qin Tian had a good impression of Zhang Lan, and he wanted to point him out, so he spoke his truth.

Zhang Lan nodded, as if realizing something: Is this the so-called finding fault for nothing?

"What a tempering mood! I forgot to tell you just now, my name is Zhang Lan, majoring in traditional Chinese painting in the Fine Arts Department of Huada University, and I am an unknown person."

Qin Tian said lightly: "You are too modest, my keen intuition tells me that you are not weak!"

Zhang Lan said with a smile: "I was born in the countryside, and I know how to play tricks, but compared with you guys on the master list, it's a joke."

Zhang Lan knew that the people on the master list were either ancient warriors or supernatural beings, and all of them had extraordinary skills.

Qin Tian smiled and said: "Except for Dongfang Feifan who is ranked first, Nangong Yuntian who is ranked second, and Luo Feng who is ranked third, the other seven people including myself are all half-baked ancient warriors or low-level superhumans. It is so powerful in the rumors, and there is one thing that everyone may not know, if I was not born in a poor family, I would at least be ranked ninth."

Zhang Lan didn't understand: What's going on here? Isn't the ranking based on combat power, but also on birth?

Seeing Zhang Lan's puzzled face, Qin Tian smiled and said: "In this world, not everything can be ranked by force. Some big families have hundreds of years, or even thousands of years of history, and they are not ordinary people. You can catch up in a year, unless you have the ability to destroy the world!"

Only then did Zhang Lan fully understand that there are some things that you don't have, you don't want to have them, you just have them all at once, such as family background and birth!

Therefore, the world was not fair from the beginning.

Seeing that Zhang Lan had realized something, Qin Tian nodded slightly. He didn't know why he had an inexplicable affection for Zhang Lan when he saw Zhang Lan for the first time today. He seemed to be talking to Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan also felt the same way, and he also felt that he had some kindness towards Qin Tian.

It was unbelievable to him that the high-ranking master on the campus master list had talked to him so much today, and still wanted to give him advice?This surprised him, and even felt a little flattered.

"So, you are full of unwillingness and honesty towards this world? So you come here to hone your character and improve your state of mind."

Qin Tian smiled and nodded: Zhang Lanwu's surname is not low.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Tian put the erhu into the box, packed the money in the bowl, put the bowl in his pocket, and was about to leave.

Zhang Lan seemed a little reluctant to let him go, and had an urge to talk to him at night by candlelight.

"Zhang Lan, some things go so far. If you talk too thoroughly and too much, there is no benefit. You still need to understand something by yourself, so that you can truly become your own thing. I look forward to you entering the top ten of the master list! This It's my phone."

After speaking, Qin Tian took out a card with a mobile phone number written on it from his pocket, and handed it to Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan smiled awkwardly. In fact, he wanted to ask Qingtian to borrow some money to stay in a hotel, but hearing what he said, Zhang Lan felt ashamed. A person who wants to become a master can't even overcome such a small difficulty?

Zhang Lan took the card and nodded heavily.

Looking at the back of Qin Tian bleakly going away, Zhang Lan sighed deeply, maybe they are really fellow travelers!
