Chapter 4 Lobsters
She found that after talking about her hair, her thoughts seemed to become a little clearer, and she didn't know if it was an illusion. Or is it just a habitual little action before I lose my memory?
Feeling the temperature around her start to drop, she buttoned her sleeves back up, then straightened her hair a little and continued walking.
The street is still quite long, and as far as she can see, the buildings are very sparse, with many abandoned and demolished houses. The sanitation is terrible, littered with garbage, and graffiti on many walls with all sorts of messy advertisements. Most of the green belts are not carefully maintained, and most of the vegetation has been trampled and withered. The most absurd thing is that the walls of a public toilet on the side of the road are cracked, and the interior cannot be covered at all.
She covered her nose, and the garbage heap around her began to drift from the wind with a foul stench that made her feel uncomfortable. In contrast, after walking for so long, I couldn't see even a single garbage can on the road.
At this time, she saw an Internet café in front of her. The sign of the Internet café reads "Red Star Internet Cafe", and the star is so badly faded that it is almost impossible to read.
When she saw the Internet café, she immediately stepped forward, thinking that maybe she could find a way to contact the outside world inside. Maybe there's a payphone.
However, when she walked to the Internet café, she found that the door was still locked, and it was pitch black inside, and she could vaguely see rows of computers.
"It's locked again...... Why isn't there a place to open the door? ”
She crouched down and sat at the door of the Internet café, looking rather helpless. Directly opposite the Internet café is a food stall restaurant with a sign that clearly reads "Spicy Crayfish Malatang Barbecue Beer". It's so hungry to look at it that she can't help but feel her stomach start to get hungry. But this food stall is obviously also the iron general's door.
"Huh?"
At this moment, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something on several open-air tables in front of the food stall restaurant.
She was stunned and hurriedly walked up.
Then, she saw that there was food on those tables.
Pots of bright red crayfish and mountains of shrimp shells next to them. On the table next to it, there was some leftover barbecue and a plate of oysters.
She was stunned and sat down.
Next to this pot of crayfish, there were two bottles of beer, and she picked it up, and there was still half of it.
"Huh? This is? ”
Then, she found that under the shrimp shell, there was a piece of paper.
She pulled the paper out.
Although it was stained with a lot of oil, she could still read the handwriting on the paper. This is a checkout for a food stall with spicy crayfish, Tsingtao beer, etc. written on it.
"Good taste food stall...... 50% off...... Address: No. 33, Xialin Road, Youming Town, Tel...... Date, May 28, 2020......"
Youming Town...... Xialin Road?
The name of this town is Yuming Town?
The oil stains on this ticket have not completely dried off, apparently because they have been buried under the shells of this pile of crayfish all along. And there were still a lot of crayfish left in that pot, and she could still smell the fragrance.
Obviously...... It shouldn't have been too long since this pot of crayfish was made and served on the table.
"Youming Town, why do you always feel that the name of this town sounds very unlucky?"
At the moment, I finally know the name of the town, and today's date, which is May 28, 2020. However, it is useless to know all this.
But...... She felt weird. Why didn't the owners of the food stalls clean up these leftovers after they closed their shops? And let them sit on the table?
"So many crayfish, how can they be wasted?" She could easily deduce from the shrimp shells and the remaining lobsters in the pot that the customers who ordered only half of them had eaten them, and even if it was waste, it wouldn't be wasted to this extent, right? Judging from the fact that there are two beers to listen to, there are two people who eat. Two people came out to eat crayfish and only ate half of it? Judging from this checkout, they didn't order anything other than crayfish and beer.
She picked up a crayfish and felt a little warmer. At this time, her stomach became more hungry again, she subconsciously looked around, and began to peel the crayfish in her hand.
"Hmm...... The taste of this hemp is really authentic...... Correct...... Authentic? ”
She suddenly found that she was quite skilled in peeling shrimp, and when she tasted crayfish and shrimp meat, she subconsciously said the word "authentic", as if her sense of taste had a memory of crayfish.
"Before I lost my memory, I should have liked to eat spicy crayfish very much......"
The tongue still tastes the taste of shrimp yellow, and although it is a little cold, it feels pretty good.
"Eat it all anyway, let's eat more."
However, she began to feel a little confident in retrieving her memories. His own memory is not completely blocked. With the help of crayfish, she began to recall if she could remember anything.
"Crayfish...... Crayfish...... Crayfish ......"
After a long time, a hazy memory began to appear in my mind.
"A Ning, if you eat crayfish, you have to come to this food stall, which is the most authentic!"
She blinked suddenly!
However, as soon as this memory surfaced, it immediately dissipated. No matter how much I remember, I can't remember anything.
Who is the person who came to my memory just now? She couldn't remember who the person was talking to at all, she only felt that she had a very close relationship with the person who was talking.
"Aning...... Is my name Anin? ”
She looked at the crayfish in front of her, pursed her lips, and took out another one and began to peel the shrimp. Sure enough, she is really very skilled at peeling crayfish. Obviously, before she lost her memory, she was a foodie who loved crayfish.
Who is the person in the memory? Is it your own loved one?
"I lost my memory like that, and if I couldn't find that person, he would be worried, right?"
After eating a few more crayfish, she stood up and continued to walk forward. Now, she can only hope to find a phone booth. But then again, even if there was a public phone booth, she didn't have coins, so she couldn't make a call.
"There's always someone, right? It's not like there is no one in such a town, right? ”
The food stall is obviously still open during the day, and it shouldn't be too late now, otherwise the crayfish would have been completely cold after a night, and it would be impossible to have some residual temperature.
"Youming Town...... Am I the one who lives in this town, or am I the one who comes here for tourism? ”
If you are here for a tourist, you really don't see any tourist value in this place.
Or ...... Are you here for a business trip? No, if you're on a business trip, why don't you have a mobile wallet? Stolen? ”
What causes me to lose my memory? She had inspected the car before and there was no sign of an accident.
"Why do I lose my memory? Is it an external impact, or is it ...... Alzheimer's disease? ”
She was startled at the thought of the latter possibility. Although Alzheimer's disease usually occurs in the elderly, it is not impossible for young people to develop it. She has no memory and doesn't know if she has a family history of the disease.
"Possibly......" she raised her palm, thinking about the words on it before, "This was written by my family or myself, because I knew in advance that I would lose my memory?" But if so, why did the word disappear? ”
When she thought about it, she still felt that something was wrong. If that's the case, there's no reason why she doesn't have a family by her side. If you get lost, you can't recover your memory and appear in a car, right?
"Speaking of which...... It's strange that the car is not parked in the right place. How can an ordinary car be parked in the middle of the road? There are still plenty of vacant spaces nearby where you can park. ”
It's true that there is no regular place to park in this town, but it is a little strange to park your car in the middle of the road. The same goes for several other cars that are not there, as if they have been randomly abandoned on the road, and the parking position is too strange.
Suddenly......
She stopped.
In the middle of the road ahead, an open umbrella fell.
She walked to the front of the umbrella and found that half of the umbrella's stand was broken, barely holding it on the ground with the other half.
The color of the umbrella is bright red.
Like blood......
