School was about to start. In order to hurry up, Zhou Nan helped Lin Dan and Yu Yeying buy plane tickets to Haicheng. After getting off the plane, he found her home in the old city according to Yu Yeying's description. Fortunately, the Yu family did not move out. Unfortunately, Yu Yeying's parents had already divorced. Yu's father left the house to Yu's mother and left the house by himself. The two soon formed another family.
Now, Yu's mother, her current husband, and Yu's father, who came in a hurry, are staying in the bedroom to discuss how to arrange their daughter. Lin Dan and Zhou Nan are waiting outside with Yu Yeying. Opposite them sat a sixteen-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy. The girl was Yu's mother's stepdaughter, and the boy was born to her and her current husband.
The girl kept glancing at Ye Ying and Lin Dan, her expression very contemptuous, her eyes lit up slightly when she looked at Zhou Nan, a little surprised. The little boy snuggled up beside her, holding a small pistol in his hand, aiming at Lin Dan's biubiubiu at one moment, and Ye Ying's biubiubiu at another moment, looking very naughty.
Lin Dan looked at the ceiling expressionlessly, while Yu Yeying lowered his head and said nothing, and Zhou Nan drank tea from time to time to hide his embarrassment. The house is very old, and even if the door is locked, the sound insulation is still poor, and what the three adults say inside can be heard by anyone with a slightly sharper ear.
Yu's mother's husband asked Yu's father to take Yu Yeying away because the family could not live there. Yu's father was very angry, saying that he bought the house and that his daughter was more qualified to stay than anyone else. Yu's mother's husband sarcastically said: "You care so much about your daughter, why don't you take her back to raise her? She eloped with others at a young age, so she doesn't love herself, what should I do if I ruin my daughter?"
Yu’s father got stuck in an instant, explaining that he had just bought a house and had to repay the loan, which was very stressful, and that his newlywed wife was pregnant, so he took over his father-in-law and mother-in-law to take care of his wife. The 30-square-meter house lived with four adults. It's already crowded enough, and there will be another baby in a few months. It's really impossible to live in.
The two didn't let anyone, and they quarreled immediately. Yu's mother only knew how to cry and didn't say a word.
The quarrel inside got louder and louder, and people outside naturally heard it. Yu's mother's stepdaughter sneered, "I heard that you eloped with a netizen when you were thirteen? You are so brave!"
Yu Yeying lowered her head and did not defend herself.
The girl looked at Lin Dan and said again, "You have lived with her all these years? You two are underage, where did you get the money? Could it be that you are making chickens? A lot, right? I don’t dare to live with you, and I don’t even know when you get sick!”
Yu Yeying, who had not spoken much since entering the door, suddenly looked straight at her and asked, "Who do you think is the chicken?"
"I said you are chickens, what's wrong? You look like goblins, and you have no father or mother. If you don't be chickens, you'd be starving to death, right?" The girl retorted.
Yu Yeying suddenly rushed over, pressed her on the sofa, pinched her neck hard, and said fiercely, "You can scold me, but you can't scold Lin Dan! Lin Dan is clean, a hundred times better than you!" Since then, she has followed Lin Dan up the mountain to refine Gu every day, and she has been warmed up by the other party with various medicinal soups. Although she still looks very thin, she has long tendons, and it is absolutely unequivocal to pinch people.
The girl was pinched by her and rolled her eyes, while the little boy burst into tears. Zhou Nan was startled by the suddenly mad Yu Yeying, and ran over to pull the two away. The three adults in the room came out to check the situation.
Seeing the pinch marks on her daughter's neck, Yu's mother's husband broke out completely, saying that Yu Yeying had a mental illness and would send her to a mental hospital.
Seeing the madness in his daughter's eyes, Yu's father was also timid. Thinking of his newlywed wife who was pregnant with Liujia, he didn't dare to take her back to raise her, "How about I take Ye Ying to the hospital first?" He hesitated.
"Don't look at it, Ye Ying, let's go." Lin Dan, who had never spoken before, stood up slowly. I also know that a neurological hospital is not a good place. If Yu Yeying is sent there, her life will be over.
Yu Yeying immediately ran to Lin Dan's side and held her hand tightly. The two went straight out of the door. Yu's mother didn't stop her, she just covered her face and cried. Yu's father chased out and gave Yu Yeying two thousand dollars, babbling about her difficulties.
Yu Yeying handed 2,000 yuan to Lin Dan, and nodded very calmly: "I know, I won't embarrass you, goodbye." With 2,000 yuan, the family relationship was bought, and how cold can one's heart be? , she finally saw it today. Knowing this, she should have died in the cellar in the first place.
The three of them left this old community without looking back, and Yu Yeying walked all the way to explain to Lin Dan, but it turned out that she was traveling with her friend, who said she wanted to see netizens and left her in the scenic spot. She was captured by Shi Gui. She never thought that she would come back alive, and naturally she didn't expect her friend to turn black and white, saying that she was playing in the scenic spot alone, but Yu Yeying ran away with netizens.
The two are best friends and their relationship is very good. They can even use QQ together. During the police investigation, they saw the message on QQ, and they found the netizen who had colluded with the best friend to investigate the situation. They learned that Yu Yeying left alone. Without a clue, he gave up searching. Yu father and mother changed from initial worry to anger. They hated their daughter for not being able to live up to their expectations, and hated their partner for not educating their daughter well, so they quarreled every day and eventually divorced.
At that time, this incident was a big deal, and the residents of the entire community knew that their impression of Ye Ying was naturally extremely bad. Seeing her come back, not many people are happy for her, but there are quite a few people who are sarcastic. The three of them were almost stabbed in the spine and left, and the taste was indescribable.
Zhou Nan glanced at Lin Dan and admired her foresight. If Yu Yeying was imprisoned by a serial killer for three years, these people still don't know how to inquire about her past. People are curious, and the more sensational they are, the more they like to talk about it. The feelings of the parties are completely out of their consideration.
It's not an exaggeration to say that people's words can make money, and people's words can kill people.
Out of sympathy, Zhou Nan took the two to another community and said, "This is the house left by my grandma. She married my grandfather not long after she bought it, and later moved to my grandfather's house. , I haven't been here again. The old one is a bit old, anyway, there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, you can take a look first."
The house is indeed very old as Zhou Nan said, but it is fully furnished and can be lived in with a little cleaning.
Lin Dan sincerely thanked, Yu Yeying didn't say a word, just picked up the rag and started to work.
Zhou Nan added: "Now that you have a place to live, you should think about it for the future. Lin Dan, refining Gu is refining Gu, you must always integrate into society. Yu Yeying, you are still young, you should read more books. , you will be able to find a job to support yourself in the future. Why don't I help you get two more student registrations and send you to study?"
"Reading?" Lin Dan frowned and looked over.
Zhou Nan nodded: "Yes, books always have to be read. You are helpless now. When you enter the school, you can still apply for the poverty stipend to improve your life. You are also a member of the Xuanmen. The precepts of the Xuanmen, you must not use the mysterious arts to kill people, and you must not disturb the order of the world. Once you violate the precepts, the arbiters of the Xuanmen will come to deal with you, so you must be careful. Yu Yeying, you are still a minor, you Your parents have the obligation to support you, I will contact a lawyer for you later and ask him to help you fight for child support."
Haicheng is Zhou Nan's territory, and he is a member of Xuanmen, so he naturally has a way to accommodate the two girls.
Lin Dan remembered the last words of the original owner's mother, nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll go to study and go to university."
Yu Yeying didn't want to talk to Zhou Nan at first, but seeing Lin Dan agree, she reluctantly said, "I'm going to study too."
The original owner liked to read very much, and even if she dropped out of school, she often flipped through the book. Lin Dan, who had all her memories, would naturally not find it difficult to go to school. She thought for a while, and then said, "I have graduated from the third year of junior high school, so I can start reading from the first year of high school."
"I'm also in the first year of high school." Yu Yeying immediately agreed. She was arrested by Shi Gui in the first year of junior high, but she will never be separated from Lin Dan, which grade Lin Dan is in, which grade she is in.
Zhou Nan thought about the situation that Yu Yeying resisted the approach of outsiders, so he also fulfilled her, nodded and said: "Well, I will help you arrange the school. After the school starts in a few days, I will come to pick you up. This is five thousand yuan, you guys. Take it first."
Lin Dan was not polite to him, took the money and said, "I will return it to you later."
"Practice the Gu technique well, and when you become a witch Gu Master, you will naturally have a way to make money." Zhou Nan comforted him symbolically, but he had no idea that Lin Dan had already been promoted to the Great Wizard Gu Master.
Three days before she left school, Lin Dan spent a day cleaning her new home, and another day familiarizing herself with the surrounding environment. On the last day, she went to the largest garbage dump in Haicheng and caught a lot of poisonous insects. What Yu Yeying said was right. The poisonous insects in the city were many times more powerful than the poisonous insects in the forest. They grew up eating chemical raw materials, and they were poisonous and mutated to varying degrees.
Lin Dan got a dark purple cryptid and a colorful poisonous moth with just a little refinement. She ate one of them, and put the other into a small porcelain bottle to refine the Gu King. The strange man also followed her to Haicheng, and he would suddenly appear when she was refining Gu, watching with great interest.
The next day, Zhou Nan took Lin Dan and Yu Yeying to Haicheng No. 1 Middle School to report. Seeing Zhou Nan entering the classroom of the first year of high school, a little girl sitting in the corner looked surprised, raised her hand and called out, "Senior Zhou, aren't you in the second year of high school?"
"I'm repeating my class." Zhou Nan touched his nose, his expression a little ashamed, and his eyes swept to a boy sitting in the corner from time to time. The boy was covered in famous brands all over his body, and he was tall. At this time, he was lying on the desk and sleeping. A group of teenagers sat around him chatting and chatting. They all seemed to know each other and seemed to be very familiar.
Zhou Nan turned to the side, pointed to the two vacant seats in the last row, and said, "You all sit here." Lin Dan's personality is low-key, and Yu Yeying is afraid of contacting strangers, so it is appropriate for them to sit in the corner against the wall.
As soon as his tall figure moved away, Lin Dan's face was revealed, and the originally lively classroom became very quiet in an instant, with the sound of gasping one after another.
