Chapter 1 Yang Zhi Wu Yi
Just as Chen Chuan sat down at dinner time, his uncle Nian Fuli suddenly said, "Chen Chuan, you have graduated from high school. There is no higher education institution in Yangzhi City. Your uncle and I only have a small salary in the police station. We can't afford to send you to the upper-class place in the central city to study. Have you decided where to go?"

The dinner table fell silent. Aunt Yu Wan looked at Chen Chuan worriedly. The two cousins ​​held their bowls and looked left and right.

Nian Fuli said: "If you haven't made up your mind and don't have a place to go, I will arrange one for you. Don't complain about the hardship or tiredness. If you don't want to do it, just tell me early and find a way out for yourself."

Chen Chuan looked at Nian Fuli and said with a smile, "Uncle-in-law, are you so anxious to get me out?"

Nian Fuli glared at him and said, "Uncle is just uncle, don't add "little" to it."

He habitually touched his jacket pocket, and just as his fingers touched the cigarette box, he glanced at his children, took his hand out again, frowned and said, "Don't be so playful, give me an honest answer, your cousin is promising, I don't need to worry about him, your two brothers and sisters are still young, and they will go to school in a few years, and the family expenses will be even greater in the future. You are already sixteen years old, and I, your uncle, will not ask for anything in return from you, as long as you can support yourself in the future, don't you think this makes sense?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Uncle, you are right." He thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, I want to find a way out for myself."

"yourself?"

Nian Fuli looked at him for a while and said, "Okay, doesn't the school usually have a two-month holiday? Then I'll give you two months. After two months, you can start your own business, and your uncle won't have to worry about you anymore."

Aunt Yu Wan seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Chen Chuan said: "Okay, let's do as my uncle says."

Nian Fuli looked him up and down and said, "You keep your word." He picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat." Seeing that he started to eat, the family began to eat.

Chen Chuan also reached out to grab the chopsticks. At this moment, he seemed to sense something and looked up. Just against the wall, there stood a young man who looked exactly like him, looking at him quietly. His uncle-in-law and his family were busy eating, unaware of this, and it seemed that he was the only one who could see it.

He naturally withdrew his gaze, thinking about the future while eating, and unknowingly finished the last bite of food. The aunt had been keeping an eye on him and said hurriedly: "Leave it there, aunt will wash it, you just worry about your own business first."

Chen Chuan looked at his aunt, then looked at Nian Fuli who had no expression on his face, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said, "Okay, uncle, aunt, I'll go back to my room first.

Nian Fuli picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly without saying a word.

After Chen Chuan left, Yu Wan said, "The child is still young."

Nian Fuli said angrily: "What do you mean by young? He's already sixteen. When I was his age, I had already gone to the battlefield!"

"Okay, okay, I know you're good."

Seeing that he had finished eating, Yu Wan stood up from the table, took a bottle of rice wine and poured it for him, saying, "I'll go see the child."

“Go away.” Nian Fuli waved his hand impatiently. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He felt relieved immediately. At the same time, he muttered to himself, “This kid is a little different from before…”

"Dad, did you also drive me away when I was sixteen?"

Nian Fuli turned around and saw his youngest son Nian Mo looking up at him eagerly.

The youngest daughter, Nian Lu, was a three-year-old girl. She said in a baby voice, "I will definitely chase you away. You eat the most meat!"

“I, I didn’t eat much! Dad…” Nian Mo held the bowl and looked at Nian Fuli pitifully.

Nian Fuli laughed and patted Nian Mo on the back of his head. "You little bastard, you are my son. How can I ignore you? I've reserved a place under Daddy's butt for you. Go and turn on the radio."

"Oh."

Nian Mo happily jumped off the stool, ran over and turned on the old radio, from which a rustling sound came.

"…The railway maintenance department reported that due to the impact of the Xieshan mudslide, the repair of the section originally scheduled for early June will be postponed again…"

"A group of criminals have escaped from the Qiguang Prison. We have issued a wanted order. The main wanted criminals are as follows: Fang Dawei, male, 35 years old, strong, has committed many home robberies and street shootings; Tong Baitao, male, 27 years old..."

"A gang conflict broke out between the Bloodstain Gang and the Iron Chain Gang at the intersection of Xinqu Park and Mican Street. Many houses were damaged in the conflict, and dozens of people were killed or injured..."

Chen Chuan had returned to his room by now. His study and bedroom was about eight or nine square meters in size. The windowsills and the old red-painted wooden floors were spotless, and the surrounding furnishings were in order. It was obvious that they were tidied and cleaned every day.

There were some movie posters on the wall. When he looked at them, the names of the movies naturally emerged in his mind: "The Lone Swordsman", "The Beast of Gaoling", "The Last Conquest"...

He walked to the window on the creaking floor. On the corner of the half-worn desk was a picture frame. It showed a young couple. The woman was young and beautiful, and the man was tall and handsome. They were wearing clothes made of very exquisite materials and were smiling at him.

On the right side of the desk is a bookcase more than two meters high, which is filled with books. At a glance, apart from some old textbooks, most of them are extracurricular books, such as "The Great Development", "The Fifteenth Year of Jianzhi", "The Mysterious Machu", etc.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It's a pity that there is no "Military and Civilian Dual-Use Talents" or "Militia Military Training Manual". At the very least, there should be a hundred thousand whys."

"Why? Chan'er, can your aunt come in?" Yu Wan's voice came from outside the door.

"Chan'er" is the nickname given to Chen Chuan's parents in this body. Now, apart from Yu Wan, only that annoying cousin calls him that all day long.

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Aunt, come in. It's nothing. I'm just thinking about a question."

"You've already graduated from high school, but you're still working so hard, Chan'er." Yu Wan walked in. She was less than 40 years old, with fair skin and a very ordinary appearance, while Chen Chuan had a delicate appearance, red lips and white teeth, and was tall. When the two stood together, one could only vaguely tell from the angles of their eyebrows that they were related by blood.

Yu Wan said, "Chan'er, don't blame your uncle for what happened today. He has his own difficulties. Don't be stubborn. I'll talk to your uncle later." Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Aunt, don't worry. I'm not showing off. I really have a plan."

Yu Wan hesitated for a moment and tried to ask, "Chan'er...are you going to look for Miss Meng?"

When Chen Chuan heard this name, a young girl's figure emerged in his mind. He shook his head and said, "I won't go looking for her."

Yu Wan said, "It's better not to go. He is from a high-class family, and the people around him look up to him. You have always been stubborn. You were childhood sweethearts, but now you are no longer compatible."

Chen Chuan said, "Aunt, you are right. Things that happened in childhood don't count. Nowadays, when people go out, they are always followed by their housekeepers. How could I make myself unhappy?"

Yu Wan felt relieved after hearing what he said. She picked up the handkerchief bag in her hand and peeled off the layers in front of Chen Chuan, revealing a stack of ten-yuan Jianyuan coins.

There is a blue landscape pattern on the coin, with a round dome and square land on the front, and a nine-tassel crown covered by rice and wheat on the back, and the watermark is a felt hat.

She grabbed Chen Chuan's hand and stuffed the money into his hand. "Take it. Use it when you need it. Don't save it. If it's not enough, I still have more."

Chen Chuan didn't reach out his hand, and asked, "Does my uncle know?"

Yu Wan said, "This is the money that your aunt saved for you." She then tapped his arm lightly, "Don't call him uncle-in-law, he doesn't like it."

Chen Chuan smiled, took it, and said seriously: "Aunt, this money is a loan from me, I will pay it back."

"Hey, we're a family. You should keep the money." Yu Wan waited until Chen Chuan collected the money before she felt relieved. She said, "Your aunt is gone now. You've graduated. Don't study too hard. Turn on the light when you read. Don't hurt your eyes."

"it is good."

Yu Wan gave a few more instructions and left the room.

Chen Chuan closed the door, pulled the light cord beside the door, and a small chandelier on the roof lit up, emitting a pale yellow light.

He walked to the bookcase, picked up a book at random, sat down on the edge of the bed, and read the pages with great interest.

After a long time, he heard the clock outside ring ten times in a row. Because he had important things to do tomorrow, he put the book back, washed up, turned off the lights and went to bed.

And in the darkness, the boy who looked exactly like him was standing beside the bed, still looking at him dimly.

In his dream, he seemed to have returned to his previous life. After working for a few years, he went out for a hiking trip. When he passed by a museum in a certain city, he saw an exhibition of ancient mirrors. When he entered the hall with curiosity, he saw a dome mirror hanging on the ceiling at a glance. At that moment, the person inside also looked over at the same time.

The moment their eyes met, their eyes suddenly flickered, and their bodies seemed to have turned into a baby, from birth to a child, and from a child to a teenager, until one day, a tile-blue car came into view, and as the sound of the car went away, they suddenly fell into darkness.

Bright light shone in from the slit in the curtains, tearing apart the gloominess of the night.

Chen Chuan opened his eyes and turned to look at the alarm clock on the bedside. It was five fifty. He shook his head, got up, dressed, and came out to rinse his mouth and wash his face.

Nian Fuli was on duty at the police station and went out early in the morning. His two younger brothers and sisters were still sleeping, while Yu Wan went out to buy groceries and prepared breakfast for him before going out.

After finishing his breakfast, he returned to his room and put on his only formal student suit. The suit was made of woolen fabric and was gray and black in color. It was very stiff overall and looked very energetic when he wore it.

He buttoned his collar, put on his student cap, and after tidying himself up in front of the dressing mirror on the closet, he took down a gray canvas bag from behind the door, put a filled water bottle in it, put on his clothes, went to the front yard to find his bicycle, and pushed it out the door.

Looking at the gradually rising sun outside, he thought to himself: "Anyway, let's follow the previous idea first."

He climbed onto the bike, pressed the bell with his thumb, making a series of crisp sounds, then pedaled along, and rode out of the alley where he lived. After only two turns, he was on the main road.

Nian Fuli is the patrol captain of the police branch. All the patrolmen of the police branch and their families live in this area, so the public security in this area is relatively good. The roads are also very spacious, and there are sycamore trees planted on both sides of the street. The sunshine at the end of May mixed with the dark green leaves makes people feel good.

After riding along the road for half an hour, he entered the city center square. The tallest buildings in Yangzhi City were concentrated here. Most of them were built during the great development period, almost sixty years ago. Because the situation was tense at the time, the materials used were extremely solid, and there was a sense of heaviness in the cold tones.

After waiting for a tram to pass by, he saw seven or eight people dressed in indecent clothes walking towards him from the other end of the road.

One of the people in the group seemed to be very sensitive to gazes. He suddenly turned around and looked over with a fierce look. However, when he saw the shoulder bag on Chen Chuan, he cursed something, spat at Chen Chuan's departing back, and turned his head away again.

After crossing the square, Chen Chuan turned left to the north-bound avenue. About five minutes later, a very imposing eaves appeared on the east side of the road. As he got closer, he could see that this was the gate of an institution of higher learning. It had three doors and was a hundred steps wide. On the stone plaque above the middle gate were written the five characters "Wuyi University" in regular script as if written in silver hooks and iron paintings. From time to time, he could see imposing cars going in and out of the gate.

He then gripped the brake handle, stood on tiptoe, and stopped in front of a stone tablet by the door, on which was engraved a brief introduction to the school: "Wuyi University was built in the 15th year of Jianzhi, and officially renamed in the 35th year of Jianzhi. The first president was Cheng Yunbai..."

The school gate faces a flat open area. The sun at seven or eight o'clock in the morning is very bright, shining on the school gate and the buildings on both sides, making them look particularly elegant and solemn.

His eyes wandered as if he was looking for something. After a while, he saw an inconspicuous sign near the side door, which read: "Entrance examination registration office is here."

He exhaled, turned over, and glanced over to see a figure who looked almost the same as himself standing by the door and looking at him. He retracted his gaze, pushed the handlebars naturally, and entered the school through the side door.
