Fugue

The geographical location of Jicheng and Yaocheng is subtle.The coast of Jicheng is a rounded block on the map, and the only bordering area is Yaocheng.And Yaocheng is a crescent moon, surrounding Jicheng, without touching the sea.He is next to many cities, like a passionate prodigal son.However, Ji Cheng is fond of being kept in captivity by Yao Cheng, and besides looking at the sea, he still looks at the sea.

In other words, Yaocheng isolated Jicheng.Their relationship is like a pair of lovers who seem to be in harmony but are far apart, being surrounded and embraced, Ji Cheng is not willing, and Yao Cheng is also absent-minded.

When it comes to Yaocheng, the minds grown in the land of Jicheng always have to fight with three words. They are "grape", "winery", and "gangster". No one can tell, nor can they judge which word is more suitable Heyao City.If you don't let the words fight, you can only say this: Yaocheng, he is full of grapes, wineries are everywhere, and he raises a bunch of gangsters.

If Ji Cheng is a refined and elegant progressive young man, then Yao Cheng is a raisin-crawler, Ahe, who is full of scorn, and braids and wine making are their professions.

Gan Luan hasn't been to Yaocheng yet, so the above assumptions are the impression shared by the locals who were born and bred in Jicheng.In the local area, if you say that you are from another place, Jicheng people will smile slightly: Hello, our Jicheng is beautiful, right?pretty.Then you are welcome; if you say you are from Yaocheng, then you will be received with the eyes of a fool.This is the unspoken rule of keeping in water, like a stubborn stone, squatting at the bottom of the long river flowing through Jicheng, diligently diffusing toxins every day, not fatal, but long-term.So the prejudice contained in this water has been soaked in the brain since birth.Ye Jing had reported himself to Gan Luan early in the morning, but he didn't look like a gangster, like a pervert.In fact, the latter is more terrifying, and there is no cure.

The habits of the Ye family may be closer to the family.The Ye family in Yaocheng and the Gan family in Jicheng both take "family" as their unit. The former inherits meaningfulness, solemnity, and tradition. It is inductive.The Ye family's family has a big business - there are not many in Yao City who don't have a big business.The small family can't survive in Yao City.On the surface, he is a city, but in fact, he is a chaotic world that has been divided.There is no police here, only "land", or "jurisdiction", they are named by family names, occasionally spread, sometimes shrink, some follow the expansion of heat, and some are forced to shrink, maintaining a precarious peace.

In Yao City, the Ye family's surname is Ye, and in Ji City, the Ye family's surname is Gan.They are such a relationship.What Mr. Gan left for Gan Luan was actually the truth.The umbilical cord connecting the truth is Ye Jing.

Regarding this matter, Gan Luan considered himself the most ignorant, but he was the one closest to the truth.There is a wall between him and the truth, and when he becomes an adult, the brick wall will collapse on its own, but he doesn't know whether it will fall to Gan Luan or the other side.

There was very little that Ye Jing could tell Gan Luan, and everything would have to wait until he was an adult, or to put it in a fancy way of saying, that is when the contract took effect.Ye Jing told him that there is no one in Jicheng who knows the truth, and once he touches the truth, he becomes a person in Yaocheng.When the gears turn, the machine comes to life, and the gods call it destiny.Live and die.You see, Ji Cheng is round, he is reincarnation, and the people who live in it just want to keep repeating history.And Yaocheng embraced him, like staring down at a baby in swaddling.He doesn't let him grow up, and he cries forever.And you, Ye Jing looked at Gan Luan, neither sad nor happy:

"You are the memory he forgot again and again."

##

When Gan Luan pushed open the door, she just heard Gan Xian say, "I went to see, it's him." Gan Xian was slightly excited, her voice trembling: "Retribution! Retribution! He insists on messing with him! Look Well, it's not going to end well!" Gan Xu watched Gan Luan enter the door, and Gan Luan shouted, "Uncle." Gan Xian wiped away the tears that didn't exist, and shook his head: "You..." It seemed extremely disappointed, as if crying The reason why he didn't come out was because Gan Luan was too disturbing.Gan Xu asked, "What is the cause of death?"

"Drug overdose."

Gan Luan's thoughts went far away, reaching out of the window like tentacles.Outside, only the clouds swelled, and occasionally birds were full of life.The height gave him a sense of detachment, like those things, far away like drama.Jicheng No. [-] Hospital reported to the police in the morning that a batch of medicine had been lost, but the speed of solving the case took a rocket because the pile of medicine was lying beside Gan Xiao in pieces.They looked like they had been abused by vampires, shriveled and messy.At the same time, Bian You stayed in three places yesterday: his own room, Jicheng No. [-] Hospital, and Gan Xiao's apartment.The last back view of Bian You left on the surveillance camera, flustered and trying to cover up, kept turning his head, as if he was being chased by an evil spirit that only he could see.The police were able to grasp Bian You's recent whereabouts, almost at the time of their last call in the call log.Bian You, Gan Xiao and last night, they are inextricably linked with Gan Luan, but Gan Luan only lives in this mountain.Just like the script that ended abruptly many years ago, Gan Luan was ridiculously ignorant again.

His life was a demon that kept chasing him, kept clamoring to tear him apart, but never did.What is taken away is always by his side.As if being caught by the minions of hell, the suffocation is approaching, going away, approaching, and going away.He is always terrified.The devil loved him and hated him.God teased him and loved him.He can only close himself and let the tension fall asleep.Use stupor to save lives.

One day it will be your turn.said the devil.

You will be forever.God said.

They work together.

All of a sudden, the three of Gan Xian looked at Gan Luan.Although the mind has been distracted, it is not difficult to guess the reason why the three of them are all facing him.Gan Luan decided what to say, so he took it easy, this is the advantage he and Gan Xu share.He said: "Little uncle drugged me last night, you all saw the glass of milk he handed me."

The three had different expressions, Gan Xian's eyes widened in shock, Gan Xian's face was full of "Wow! How is that possible~" clumsy like the exclamation of idol drama girl N, Gan Xu was expressionless.

"I wanted to follow him, but I lost it. So I went to the hospital instead. Bian You went to the hospital yesterday because of me. I felt a headache at the time, and I accidentally swiped his card when I prescribed the medicine."

Gan Xian covered her mouth: "Over there You..." Gan Xu glanced at her: "Let him finish."

Mixed truth and falsehood are not called lying, but false statements.Man's reliance on self-deception is like the shackles of drugs, so he is on the same lubricating machine, and the smoother and smoother the story, the more complete and true the story in his mouth.

It's very simple. When you are in the same boat with one person and the other person is not there, you can blame all the mistakes on the seduction of the other person.Learning to drive, stalking in the middle of the night, and staying out at night, everything was taught by Gan Xiao. He is just an innocent believer who was poisoned by the cult.When Gan Xu's blame made Gan Luan and Gan Lan equal, he even kept up with the progress.He is as innocent as Gan Lan.

"I was sleeping in the hospital last night. Bianyou's last phone call was probably a mistaken answer. I didn't have any impression. By the way, I didn't even know that my uncle had an apartment in that district. I thought he lived at home all the time. You know Is it?" He didn't expect them to tell the truth, he just wanted to deflect the blame.

"We don't know either. It's unclear right now, and you, at least for the time being, can you save us some trouble?"

Gan Luan is not a hard-talking person, he doesn't mind making his words beautiful and impeccable, just like the curvature of his mouth is reassuring.He said, well, let you bother.In times of peace, he is a dove, chewing olive branches like gum.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Gan Xian said please come in, and a young man who looked like a student came in.His hair was very black, with the same luster as his eyes.He smiled inappropriately.The smooth black hair opened a small slit between the eyebrows, exposing the white forehead, tearing like light.The corners of his mouth are raised, the corners of his eyes are drooping, and the extended lines drawn happen to cross next to his ears, and the whole face with a fake smile looks like a one-eyed wide open.

Gan Xian went up to meet him and rubbed his palms together: "You came in person, it's too much trouble."

The young man said: "Where, it should be, what is the responsibility." He nodded with Gan Xian and Gan Xu, as if they were of the same age: "This matter needs to be confirmed by me."

Even Gan Xu got up and passed by, and Gan Xian would definitely not be left behind. She said, "Then Gan Xiao, then he..."

The young man said: "The dead naturally withdraw. The dead, the disappeared, the sleeping, the incapacitated-" The young man tilted his head to one side, his smooth black hair was brushed together, his face was blurred with embarrassment. The angle is in the shape of a water drop, and there is a smile from the forehead to the chin: "It's all the same."

With this tilt of his head, the young man seemed to see Gan Luan hiding in the shadows.They exchanged glances.

The young man turned his gaze back: "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen before he became an adult. I have no right to interfere after all, and please take care of yourself."

This sentence undoubtedly aroused the thoughts of the three of them, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, as if they all found themselves being targeted by a gun, and everyone was in danger.The young man bypassed the dazed three and walked towards Gan Luan: "Hello." He reached out to him, "This is not the first time we have met." He paused, then turned to explain to the surprised Gan Xian and the three: "Funeral." Xian walked over: "Gan Luan, this is... your cousin, Ye Jing." Gan Luan wanted to stand up and act, but Gan Xian suddenly kicked his chair, and he sat down firmly: "...Cousin ?”

Ye Jing put away his smile, and Gan Xian kicked the chair again, as if he had revenge.Gan Luan was as stable as Mount Tai, and had the same excellent sitting posture as Gan Xu: "I'm sorry, I can't remember." The three of Gan Xian were at a loss.Ye Jing sneered, Gan Luan acted as innocent as Gan Lan.Two shameless people.

"Sorry, I just received an email." Ye Jing looked at it, but put away his expression: "Something happened to the winery, I have to go and deal with it."

Gan Xian said, "Good, good."

Ye Jing put his hand on Gan Luan's shoulder and said to the three of them, "I need to borrow my cousin." It seemed that Gan Luan belonged to them.Gan Luan didn't say anything, but Gan Xian said, can't I go?The child was injured, so he pulled off Gan Luan's sleeves.Gan Luan frowned.Ye Jing said that Gan Xian looked too old, and he needed a young one.Mysterious.Gan Xu said, Gan Luan's situation is special, I can help you find someone with similar conditions.Ye Jing really laughed: I naturally have my intention to find him.He followed me, all right.

Gan Luan suddenly said, "I have a headache, I want to go back to sleep."

Gan Xian patted the table: "Just go!"

Gan Luan and Luan left together openly, like a man and woman who have been meeting privately for many years and suddenly get a certificate. Although this analogy is inappropriate, it is appropriate.Ye Jing took advantage of the time to entertain and said, Gan Luan: "...I am proud of your Chinese teacher. So, you made an effort to let me follow you, where are you going?" Ye Jing said: "I just watched yours. Mobile phone, you guessed it right, Bianyou has contacted you."

Gan Luan's personal mobile phone was cut off early, and it was only recharged this morning. Last night, Bian You contacted his public number, so his family found out.On the way here, Gan Luan handed over his personal mobile phone to Ye Jing.Because he felt that Bian You might contact him secretly, so it was unwise to keep this phone by his side.

"Where is he?" Gan Luan said again, "But I can't see him."

"He didn't ask you to meet him, but..." Seeing that he was going to open the email, Ye Jing said, "I suggest you don't read it now."

Ye Jing opened the skylight, and his black hair rose slightly, like ears of wheat lazily.Hair does not follow the wind.Ye Jing asked him: If there are two kinds of life for you to choose, do you want to live like a dream full of possibilities, fantasies and collapses, or do you want to step on the plain land to see the daily sunrise and distinguish the slight color difference between them?

Gan Luan put down his phone and began to peel the candies, chewing them one by one, like biting a boulder stuck in his heart, he thought, he said: "I don't want to end up drunk in a dream, that means I don't understand , I don’t understand after death.”

"Listening to the sound of rain will make you drowsy, but not in the rain. So, maybe seeing the real thing directly will make you feel more real." Ye Jing's car slid to the side of the road, slowed down for a few seconds, Someone pushed a roll of paper through the car window, and Gan Luan caught it: "What is this?" He opened the paper roll and found it was a file bag.Thinking back to the bank sign they just passed, "Is this from Bianyoucun?"

Ye Jing nodded: "It's fresh from the oven."

The first is a birth certificate, followed by a trusteeship agreement.There is Gan Lan's name on it.

"..."

After the silence, Broken's frozen voice was beautiful: "I'm thinking about the multiple choice question you just asked me. Do you think I will feel like a dream when I see this."

Ye Jing said, "Maybe."

"On the contrary. I'm wide awake."

The meaning of these two documents is like a photo developed in a darkroom, slowly developing, and the crimson is shrouded in mist, and all the photos have the original color, which is the blood color that gives life; Only by avoiding light can the truth be presented.What is exposed is called fact, and what is covered up is called truth.

"He is like a gift." Gan Luan spread out the birth certificate, and he rubbed the name and the date of birth as if they had warmth: "This is another 'Son of Ganxiu'. I was born on the same month and the same day for one year. 'Son of Ganxiu'."

He thought of Gan Lan lying on his side beside him: "I am a prisoner of the devil..." He wished to see Gan Lan again soon.He knew that this person would surprise him, like a thick storybook with his name written on the cover, which belonged to him.He wants to be the first to read.

Father: Ganxiu.Mother: Bian Zhiyue.There are also two signatures at the end of the power of attorney, which is of great significance.He thought of Gan Lan who was kneeling in the corner and crying, and he immediately stopped thinking about it.Of course he can't believe it all, it's almost his life rule.But the point of believing now is gone.Everything is not a definite number. It doesn't matter what the truth is, or even whether it is true or not. The important thing is which truths he wants to survive.He happened to have the power to turn the country around.

"It seems we think the same thing."

"Hmm." Gan Luan stared at the signature on the power of attorney, he couldn't tell if it was true or not because it was the first time he had seen it.It actually amused him.Ever since I met Gan Lan, everything has been like a poor comedy carefully written for him, with sad and ridiculous soap bubbles floating, colorful and fragile, false and sincere. "With this other 'Son of Ganxiu', grandpa's will in Gan's family can be postponed for one year, and they have to wait by my side for another year. And the will in Yaocheng—"

"That belongs to you alone."

"None of them can escape." Gan Luan put the document back into the file bag. He stared at it and saw the past through it: "Who prepared this gift? Grandpa? Dad? Mom? Or did they conspire? Theirs Who are the enemies? I'm going to find them one by one. Yes, that's all I can think of. I'm disappointed."

This afternoon, they were flying in Jicheng, the sun was like a fruit hanging on the treetops, the leaves in the distance couldn't cover it, and the afterglow was dazzling.As for Gan Luan, his eyes were slightly closed, as if imprisoned by melancholy vines.

"I'm very disappointed in myself, Ye Jing, it's understandable that you can think of this step. But why can I only think of this matter?"

The most lonely thing is not being blamed by the world, not being complained by relatives and friends, nor is there a self-perception of temperature, but through a hasty and sharp thought, one realizes that one's blood is cold.

No one wants to know what I really look like, they all love my mask.Everyone is a fantasist, in their eyes, I have a different look, that is not who I am.No one wants to accept my truth, just like the different ways humans treat beauty and ugliness.

"No." Ye Jing looked at the road ahead, the corners of his mouth flattened into a line, and suddenly changed his tone: "What I want to say is, buddy, that old gentleman is just a bad old man who speaks a translator." The people in the back seat rolled , slapping his palms: "It's really like it! It's like it! I love you!"
