In Nancheng in 2003, rain and fog always lingered in the narrow alleys with the smell of rust. Chen Mo, who had memories of his past life, sat in the last row of the classroom and looked at Su Zhe, a top student who had not yet been involved in the darkness, and Li Hu, who bullied others. It was like watching a play with a pre-written ending.
He knew that Li Hu would steal Su Zhe's tuition, that Su Zhe's father would be beaten into a lunatic, and that the woman on the missing person notice at the alley would eventually be hanged under a bridge - these regrets and tragedies from the previous life have become the cards in his hand in this life.
When Li Hu pushed Su Zhe onto the basketball stand again, Chen Mo stood up holding the bamboo strips in his hands, forcing Li Hu back with a "secret" that only he knew, and stuffed a note in Su Zhe's schoolbag to remind him to avoid trouble. After evening self-study, he took Su Zhe to Sister Ling's barbecue stall, handed him a cold beer, and said he would take him to "a place where he can make money."
There was a faint siren in the distance, and there was an argument coming from the direction of the scrap station, but Chen Mo didn't look back. He knew where Zhou Zheng and Zhou Kun were hiding, and he also knew that in the "turbid alley" of this life, it was up to him to rewrite the past soaked in blood and tears with his own hands, and to walk the unfinished road step by step for those who had not been protected in the previous life.
