Chapter 432: The Secret of Memory

Around noon, the torrential rain continued.

Standing next to the statue of Heralex, the god of war, and praying in front of the church door for about ten minutes, the old man finally felt a little tired. At this time, he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of going out, and muttered in a daze in the direction of the church. Peake obediently stood aside, holding an umbrella for the old man.

They left the church and walked deeper into the street.

The old man and Peake, who were walking in the rainstorm, were already half wet, they had no purpose, and the direction they were walking seemed to be random.

Peake listened to the roar of the torrential rain in his ears, and thought about the picture - a sea of golden flowers, children in a sea of flowers.

It's a little familiar, like I've seen it somewhere. Thinking like this, he had a good feeling. Is this the magic of faith? Peake attributes the good feeling in his heart to the universal canon, to the god of light. This time, he expressed his sincere gratitude to the god of light.

Of course, at this time, he didn't know that all this might have nothing to do with a copper coin from the God of Light.

He felt that his memory of his surroundings was still fresh, as if he had just come, well, further on, it should be the way home.

However, he was wrong, and when they walked out of one street and turned into another, Peake immediately noticed...... They are lost.

Most of the streets in the town of Peace are similar, the houses around are similar, there are few landmarks, and the winding, slippery and muddy alleys are everywhere. Of course, two people who have lost their memories will not be stupid enough to go down a dark alley, otherwise they may be completely lost and never find their way home.

Instead of putting the hope of returning home on the old man next to him, Peake knew that his grandfather was in an even worse situation, not only did he have amnesia, but he seemed to be facing even worse memory confusion. For example, he will forget to eat, or when he finishes eating, he will sit back at the table and wait for the meal to start.

"Walk slowly, you will definitely be able to find it. This sentence stayed in Pique's mind, and even though he had walked more than a dozen streets, he had not returned to the lumber yard that had just become familiar. He was looking for the wooden door, and if he saw the wooden door of the lumberyard, he would recognize it.

Pique knew that the situation was not bad, and the old man walking beside him seemed to enjoy walking in the heavy rain, even though his shoes and trouser legs were all soaked. Peake felt her deep, even breathing, and he breathed the rain-purified air with his body soaked in decades. Peake felt that his grandfather was not as melancholy as he had been at the lumber yard for the past month, not as melancholy as an old man in his last years. He thought about his mood when he was frantically chopping wood in the production room, and secretly thought to himself, could it be that his grandfather had been walking in the heavy rain like this to alleviate the pain caused by amnesia.

I have lost my memories for 20 years, and the confusion and pain in my heart have been germinating. As for his grandfather, he lost several times his own memories and suffered several times as much as himself. Visioning what his grandfather may have experienced, visioning his grandfather's carpenter career, he felt in his heart that his grandfather's carpenter era had passed, and the future needed to be inherited by himself and Ryder. The old man's eyes full of stories touched his soul deeply, and Peake was eager to know what kind of wonderful pictures he had experienced in the old man's life: was he, like himself, living in an empty mind, living in the memories of hard work?

As the rain gradually subsided, Peake suddenly looked at the old man in front of him with great confusion, the old man had been staring at him like this, of course, he didn't recall what happened a month ago, at least for a month. The old man didn't stare at him so deeply.

"Little Pique," the old man looked up at him deeply, and suddenly said, "I can't help your illness, I've traveled all over the continent, and I haven't found a solution, can you ...... Forgive your grandfather......"

Peake was silent, bewildered.

I heard that the old man's face suddenly showed a confused expression, and then he muttered:

"I've traveled south, I've traveled through hundreds of cities, I've seen countless doctors, but none of them know why a person's eyes change color, they don't know why a person has two souls. ”

"I walked south, visited all the city's bookstores, and read countless ancient books, but I couldn't find your secret. ”

"I go south, and all my dreams are south...... It's like this rain, and there have been countless times when I've walked south in such heavy rain......"

Suddenly, Peake felt in a trance, and his head was almost crazy. He didn't quite know what the old man in front of him was talking about, and he didn't know why the old man was heading south. At last he found that the old man's face was full of guilt, and there were deep wrinkles mixed in that guilt.

Look at these pictures...... Boom, something in Peake's mind exploded, and countless scenes flew into his eyes:

It was my grandfather's appearance when he was a little younger, his back was not as bent as it is now, his legs were straight, and he walked from the gate of the lumberyard into the main building with his head held high, and his pace was steady.

It was his grandfather who had taught him how to hold an axe and chop wood, and his grandfather's big hand held his little hand and chopped at the axe, and he felt that he was full of curiosity.

It was on the street that my grandfather found himself covered in wounds, and in that image he was clasping the arm of a child who was holding his hand around his neck. The children did not have much strength, they were crying, and they all suffered skin injuries. The grandfather did not teach the two men a lesson, but separated the two men, and then sent the child home, apologized to his parents, and took himself into the lumber yard to make a table of meat dishes.

It was in his room, and my grandfather had a long talk with him......

These pictures are very cumbersome and trivial, and for a while Pique can't see them. Afraid of missing any of them, his eyes widened and his brain was in extreme tension.

The two of them hugged in the heavy rain and kept hugging, as if all the memories between the two people had been found in this hug.

The old man's words trigger memories buried deep in his brain, and that's the crux of the matter. He wanted to comfort the old man in front of him, but found that he had nothing to say. In this way, he realized that he might have had some kind of serious illness before, and his grandfather had to look south for a doctor, but to no avail, and he could only speculate on such a process. He never thought that losing his memory was so tormenting, but after all, this has become a fact that must be accepted, in order not to die in the pain of amnesia, he must retrieve everything! At this moment, Pique is determined to get back his own memories! But this is all something to be considered in the future, and now he must stabilize the old man's mentality, he doesn't know what to say, he can only hug the old man in front of him tightly like he hugged Ryder in the production room before.

The old man didn't say anything more, and his chest, which was heaving with excitement, slowly calmed down. Knowing that what he had done had worked, Peake breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and began to search for everything in his mind. When he first walked into the production room to chop wood, he thought of the pictures he had when he was a child, and thought of all the pictures about chopping wood. This discovery was very important, and he was thinking that he must try to do more things, but try to meet some friends. For now, though, the only friends he knows are Ryder and Frank's mercenaries.

At one point, Ryder talked to him about a name—Hayska. However, he felt a deep touch in his heart. The emotions in my mind are so complex that it's hard to attach. It seems to be happy and excited, but it also seems that it can't wait. In my mind, there was a villain shouting frantically: Find her! Find the girl!

The villain in his mind triggered another defense mechanism in his mind, and that guard was saying, "No, you can't get out of the lumberyard, there will be bad guys like the bearded Chiya who will hurt you!"

At this time, all the security mechanisms were destroyed by the old man's bitter complaints. He is deeply aware that if he keeps hiding in the world of memory blanks, pain will happen anytime and anywhere.

Fortunately, he discovered the secret of how to find his memories.

You have to try new things and meet everyone you can see. He told himself.

"Peake, I found you. The old man in his arms suddenly said, "Let's go home." ”

......

......

In fact, the two people who lost their memories did not return to the lumberyard.

Yes, they are completely lost and have completely lost their sense of direction.

Even though they had tried to walk through countless streets, they still couldn't find the familiar door.

Fortunately, at this time, the heavy rain had eased a little, turning into a light rain, which also relieved Pique's depressed and nervous mood. If the heavy rain kept falling, he was afraid that the two of them would be swept away by the torrent formed by the heavy rain.

Looking at the slightly familiar scene in front of him, Pique felt a little headache. Yes, after walking for a long time, he returned to the same street he had walked before.

His silk-blended clothes were already soaked before, but now they showed a slight sign of dryness. At this time, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and they could not ask for directions, otherwise they would not have wandered the streets for two hours.

Feeling the mud in the cloth shoes and watching the sunset already falling, Peake sighed helplessly, and finally resorted to an extreme method: he planned to go all the way north until he reached the edge of the town! He knew that the lumber yard was located in the north of the middle of the town, and if they could get to the edge of the town, they should not be far from the location of the house.

It's a silly solution, but it's probably the most effective way for two guys who have blank minds and can't remember the way at all.

Then he found that he couldn't find out where the north side was......

However, they later found the church!

Well, it's kind of an iconic building. Peake knew that if he walked north along the church, he should be able to walk back to the lumberyard.

When passing by the church, the old man decided to go to the church to pray to the pastor.

However, the church will not be open in heavy rain, and it is often on sunny days that the church is full of devout believers. On some nights, there are exceptions, and believers will want to go to the church to pray, or they can make an appointment with the pastor in the church. However, it was not a sunny day, they did not make an appointment, and after a period of waiting, no one opened the door for them. About these, neither of the two people who lost their memories knows.

Standing on the side of the statue of the god of war, the two men stopped and waited, both silent.

At this moment, on the other side of the statue of the god of war, Heralex, in the drizzling rain, a prayer chant suddenly sounded:

"My god of light, please give me back little Emma!"
