Xu Le seemed to have forgotten who he was.

Forgetting here refers to forgetting all of your identity, your past, and the feeling of losing the most important memory, which makes Xu Le stunned and at a loss.

There is an ID card in the trouser pocket, and the ID card has his own portrait and name on it, and after repeatedly comparing the glass of the candy store in front of him with the photo of a person, Xu Le only then knew that he had his name, but what he knew was only that.

Like a newborn, he suddenly came into this world, and he was in a state of confusion about everything.

Xu Le, who suddenly opened his eyes and found himself on the street, looked at everything around him and was amazed.

Walking passers-by, moving cars, colorful advertisements on the square screens... What an ordinary picture, but everything is a novelty for Xu Le, Xu Le looked at the world in a novel way, looking at the world he knew at all.

Half an hour later, Xu Le, who was hungry, walked into a ramen shop and carefully observed the price list hanging on the wall, Xu Le hesitated for a long time, and ordered a ramen with the only twenty yuan left in his hand.

Sitting on the empty table, Xu Le couldn't help but look at the thirty-square-meter store, looking left and right, and at this time, a news item in the TV hanging above attracted Xu Lede's attention.

"According to this station, there was a sinner attack on humanity in the early hours of last night in District 22, and fifteen innocent young people were killed by sinners and died on the spot... The investigator of District 22 said that the perpetrator of the murder would be arrested within 10 days and the victim's family would be given an explanation. ”

"The world has become more chaotic. One of the guests said with emotion.

"Who's to say it's not, those sinners look exactly like us humans, and they can't tell the difference if you don't identify them carefully. The ramen shop owner walked out and put the ramen ordered by Xu Le in front of Xu Le, turned to look at the TV and said.

"Sinners live by cannibalism, how can there be such a thing in this world?" the diner asked the boss along the topic, and the boss wiped his hands with the apron tied around his waist and smiled without saying a word, and turned back to the back kitchen.

Xu Le ate ramen, listened to the conversation between the two people and didn't say anything, although sinners who live by eating people and humans have coexisted in the same world for decades, but Xu Le, who didn't know this at all, or forgot about it, he wouldn't have any reaction at all.

"Eight bucks. ”

The boss said to Xu Le, who was about to pay the bill, Xu Le took out the only twenty yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to the boss, when the boss was looking for money, Xu Le looked at the recruitment slip posted on the wall and asked, "Do you need a waiter here?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, looked at Xu Le, who looked like a college student in his twenties, and asked after a pause, "You want to work?"

"Hmm. Xu Le nodded seriously, without any joking.

The boss looked at Xu Le with a smile: "It's okay to work here with me, but the salary is not high, one thousand eight a month, no vacation, are you willing?"

"Just take care of the food. ”

Xu Lede's idea is very simple, eat your stomach, as for other pursuits, Xu Le didn't think about it so much.

"ID card to me. ”

Xu Le took out his ID card from his trouser pocket and handed it to the boss, the boss looked at it seriously, suddenly gasped, looked at Xu Le in a little surprise and asked, "You are from the fourth district." ”

There are no provinces in this country, and the 22 districts, from the 1st to the 22nd districts, the whole country is divided into 22 parts like a piece of cake.

Among them, the 4th district is a relatively special existence, the gray area of the whole country, the evil you can imagine, heaven, are all there, as long as you have the ability, then you are in the fourth district, you can have everything, and Xu Le in front of him is from the 4th district, and he can't help but make the boss think more.

"Hmm. Xu Le responded, the boss hesitated, looked at it worriedly, and then handed the ID card to Xu Le: "The probation period is one month, the salary is one thousand, and after nothing happens during the period, one thousand and eight per month, the salary will be raised, and after the break, see your performance, what do you think?"

"Okay. Xu Le immediately nodded and said, the boss nodded unnaturally, this matter is over.

"Boss. I think this is the fourth waiter you've hired, but what about the first three?" asked the diner curiously at the checkout.

"They're all gone, I'm just a small place, where can anyone stay forever. The boss said calmly, and glanced at Xu Le after speaking, Xu Le, who didn't understand human feelings, didn't say anything, but then the boss smiled abruptly at this time.

"Regardless of whether the waiter leaves or not, in short, your store will continue to open, if there is no such thing as your noodles, I don't know what to eat. ”

"Don't worry, you can't go. The boss smiled heartily.

"By the way, how is your pork pickled, why is it so unstoppable. The diner asked.

The boss shook his head and smiled: "This can't be said, secret, secret." ”

……

Sunset, the weather gradually became cooler, for the impression of summer, people are the same as the sweltering, casually go out and come back with slimy memories are really helpless, and when the night begins to fall, after the heat fades, the streets slowly become lively.

Xu Le, who worked in the ramen shop, was busy sweating profusely, and Xu Le didn't know what he should do when he first came into contact with the job of a waiter, but under the guidance of the boss, Xu Le slowly got his appearance.

Ramen shops have other types of noodles, but most of them are based on ramen, and in the past, only the owner had prepared the noodles that had been cooked in advance, as well as the soup that had already been prepared.

Xu Le's waiter life was busy until half past ten, and there were almost no guests, which was the end.

"Tired, come and try my exclusive noodles. "The owner brings out a bowl from the back kitchen, and the exclusive craftsmanship that often makes diners praise.

"Good. ”

The hungry Xu Le said happily, but when he moved his chopsticks, he suddenly found himself in an inexplicable place.

The floor and ceiling of the room are black and white, and there is a sense of harmony, and in the middle of the room, there is a scarred person.

The thick hair obscured his face, and the scars on the skin under the short sleeves and shorts showed what kind of torture he had suffered in the past. Obviously, Xu Le, the person in front of him, didn't know him,

But Xu Le suddenly had a feeling that he was himself.

"What's wrong with you?" After seeing Xu Le stunned, the boss reached out and touched him, and this touch, Xu Le withdrew from the "hallucination".

"Nothing, nothing. Xu Le said absent-mindedly with a sigh of anger.

"Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold. ”

"Oh. ”

A big bowl of noodles, after the absent-minded Xu Le took a bite, he immediately feasted on it, the different taste of the pork made Xu Le even more unable to stop eating.

"Eat slowly, and then you'll have a chance to eat this noodle." The boss smiled, took out a second-hand mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and handed it to Xu Le: "I found that you kid, you don't have a mobile phone, this is for you."

The phone card is new, my number has been saved, you can call me if there is anything in the future, and you have to remember one thing, as long as I call you, no matter what you are doing, you have to come to the store to know?"

"I got the boss. Xu Le said gratefully, a stranger can think about himself in every detail, and a warm current appeared in Xu Le's heart.

"Let's clean up after eating, I have to get up early tomorrow. The boss patted Xu Le on the shoulder and said, Xu Le nodded vigorously, and then immediately got busy.

Clean up the table, wash it, mop the floor... After cleaning the entire ramen shop, it was already half past eleven, after Xu Le wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tissue, and after confirming that everything was done, he looked at his boss who was smoking, leaning on the door frame of the back kitchen, and looking at his boss with smoking eyes: "Boss, I'm leaving." ”

"Hmm. The boss nodded, and spat out a light blue smoke: "Go back, remember to lock the door." ”

There is a separate room inside the ramen shop, next to the back door, and the owner, who usually has no family and children, lives in it alone.

"Oh, got it. ”

Xu Le said, after turning off the lights, Xu Le went out and locked the two closed doors with the door lock. The night was slightly cool, and after Xu Le's body shivered, he was ready to find an ATM to spend the night.

The boss is already very grateful to Xu Le, as for the control, he is really embarrassed to open this mouth, not to mention the boss who is crowded in a room of less than ten square meters, Xu Le feels that he does not have that economic strength.

Crossing the road, Xu Le looked for ATMs everywhere, but Xu Le, who suddenly remembered something, touched his trouser pocket and found that his mobile phone was lost in the store.

The inside of the ramen shop was pitch black, but the light in the back of the kitchen made the floor glow.

"The boss hasn't slept yet?" Xu Le said in his heart, there was only one key, which was placed on the counter, and Xu Le, who couldn't enter through the main entrance, walked through the back door at this time.

I tried to pull the back door, but the door was not locked, and Xu Le walked in directly.

"Knock, knock, knock," the sound of chopping meat came from the kitchen, and Xu Le walked in without any scruples, thinking that the boss was now preparing for tomorrow's ingredients.

"Squeak. Xu Le pushed open the kitchen door, and then saw the boss who was cutting meat, and the boss stopped his movements after noticing that someone had come in, turned his back to Xu Le and said, "Xiao Xu?"

"Well, I forgot my phone. ”

"Yes. ”

The boss's tone became indifferent, and he refused to turn around, which also made Xu Le very strange, but when he walked around the vegetable washing basin at his feet and looked forward casually, Xu Le... It was as if I saw a piece of meat

Not pork, not beef... A calf! a human calf.

Xu Le thought he was wrong, but at this time, the boss with his back to Xu Le began to wipe the knife surface of the kitchen knife with his hand, the boss tilted his head to look at the bright knife surface, and asked Xu Le: "Xiao Xu, what did you see just now?"

"Nothing, I didn't see anything. Xu Le tried to control his voice, but no matter how Xu Le controlled it, he found that he couldn't control the tremors on his body.

The boss sneered, Xu Le, who would not pretend. His response has said a lot of things out,

"Xiao Xu, do you know why the meat in that noodles is delicious?"

The boss turned around at this time, and a pair of blood-red eyes without whites made Xu Le fall to the ground in fright!

"It turns out that human flesh is not only liked by us sinners, but also by you humans, but what I am curious about now is, what does your meat taste like?"
