It is not unreasonable for people to be poor and short-sighted.

The old patriarch of the tribe fell into the hands of An Xiaoyu, and cowardly confessed all the things about Zhang Shujie in their tribe.

And for the simple reason that it's for the money.

A few days ago, there were a lot of outsiders in their tribe, these outsiders were fierce, wearing black clothes and black sunglasses on their faces, even if they lived in the corner of the Eastern Wilderness all the year round, and they had no knowledge of the outside world at all, they could see that these people were not easy to mess with.

But these people, who seemed obviously not easy to mess with, did not make any unreasonable demands on them, they just said that it was good to let the old patriarch settle a person to live in the tribe, pretend that she had always been a member of the tribe, and not let her find any clues.

The old patriarch felt that this was not good, but the man in black told him that this person's memories were gone, and that it only took a few words to make her believe that she was not an outsider at all, and that she was destined to live in this bitter tribe for the rest of her life.

The amount of the deal they proposed was not very high, but this amount was just enough for them to dig a deeper well again, and if they wanted their tribe to save their own money, I am afraid that they would not be able to save it until 10,000 years later, when everyone died.

Therefore, the patriarch readily agreed, and their money was about to arrive in a month's time, and then the tribe would have clean water to drink, although it still could not be used for irrigation, but there was water to drink, which was already a great thing for these people.

An Xiaoyu looked at the old patriarch in his hands, trembling like a little chicken, intermittently unable to even speak clearly, and most of his anger subsided in an instant.

If this matter is put on the Jiuxi tribe, An Xiaoyu knows that he will agree without hesitation like the old patriarch, and do it seriously, even if he deceives others, even if he lets a person stay in the Eastern Wilderness and never leave, but as long as the clansmen live better......

With a sigh, An Xiaoyu gently let go of her hand, put the old patriarch on the ground, and turned around to leave.

When he walked to the door, the old patriarch stopped An Xiaoyu: "Do you want to go to her?" ”

An Xiaoyu heard the worry in the old patriarch's heart, stopped, and said without looking back: "You don't need to worry, I won't tell her anything, if I want to rescue her one day, I will also ensure that you can get the money for digging the well, and let you go today, just because I am also from the Eastern Wilderness." ”

The old patriarch watched An Xiaoyu leave the house, the whole person lost his strength, and sat back in the dilapidated chair, looking at the yellow sand and the scorching sun outside, after all, he still didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong.

After An Xiaoyu left the old patriarch's room, she was stared at by the nearby residents with strange eyes and walked towards the field outside.

Zhang Shujie was like a purebred girl from the Eastern Wilderness at this time, An Xiaoyu never thought that the delicate girl with slender fingers who could recite the names and uses of various drugs would be reduced to the current point, and she didn't know it.

"Huh? Are you a foreigner? ”

Zhang Shujie saw An Xiaoyu looking at her from the side, knowing that An Xiaoyu was not from the tribe, she looked at An Xiaoyu with a look of surprise and asked, "Are you the one who came to the village to dig a well?" ”

An Xiaoyu nodded: "I'll take a look at the situation and location first, and I'll bring someone over when I go back." Also, I am also from the Eastern Wilderness, not a foreigner. ”

Zhang Shujie hurriedly apologized after hearing it: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, I had amnesia before, I don't know much about these." ”

Hearing that Zhang Shujie had taken her amnesia for granted, An Xiaoyu's heart was a little concerned, and she felt more and more sorry for this girl, so she sat on the ridge and asked, "Have you lost your memory?" What does it feel like? ”

Putting down the hoe that was already half of the handle in her hand, Zhang Shujie walked to An Xiaoyu's side, sat in the place of her subordinates, looked at the blue sky without white clouds, and put a grass stalk next to her in her mouth.

"What does it feel like?" She thought and said: "Probably, when you feel that your whole person is not real, and you have to be told by others, it is easy to wonder if your life is like this, and you are wary of the whole world, and only you can give yourself a true feeling." ”

As she spoke, Zhang Shujie reached out and rolled up her sleeves to show An Xiaoyu.

Because of the long sleeves, Zhang Shujie's arms and palms have a vague dividing line from the wrists, and the palms are a little darker than the arms, but on that arm, the shocking scars crisscross one by one, covering the entire forearm.

Some of these scars have healed, leaving scars, some have scabs falling off, and some are still fresh, and you can see the tender flesh inside.

Zhang Shujie said: "At the beginning, I was the only way to wake myself up and tell myself that my memory was gone, and I should accept the reality, even if this reality was not the manifestation I wanted to accept, otherwise I would have to die." ”

An Xiaoyu glanced at Zhang Shujie in surprise, and looked at the girl in front of her thoughtfully, she was a little unsure at first, what Zhang Shujie said was the feeling before losing her memory, or after losing her memory? However, there was no answer in her eyes.

"The people in the tribe are very nice, some are friends of my parents, some are my relatives, the patriarch said that my parents took me out with me, met wild beasts, and I was the only one who survived, but the memories were all gone, I believe all of this."

Zhang Shujie smiled bitterly: "If I don't believe it, what other answer can I find?" ”

An Xiaoyu asked, "If you can find other answers, which one should you believe?" ”

Zhang Shujie shook her head and didn't answer directly, but just said to An Xiaoyu: "It's better not to find other answers, I'm already very tired and don't want to know anything more." ”

"Even if your current life isn't what you want?" An Xiaoyu asked again.

Zhang Shujie looked at An Xiaoyu's complicated eyes and said, "The question is, how do I know that this is not what I want?" ”

An Xiaoyu was speechless.

The wind in the afternoon of the Eastern Wilderness was extremely dry, as if there was not a drop of water in the whole world, and someone in the tribe quietly peeked at the backs of An Xiaoyu and Zhang Shujie in a nearby corner, as if they were afraid that An Xiaoyu would reveal some news.

Looking at Zhang Shujie in the Year of the Snake, An Xiaoyu's mood was complicated, she actually didn't want to believe that Zhang Shujie had been erased, and she didn't want to believe that Zhang Shujie had begun to accept her current life, although her body was full of scars, although her heart was extremely empty, but she had become what she is now.

Even if An Xiaoyu can tell her all the things in the past, what is the use? For a person who has lost his memory, what is the difference between the lost memories and the memories that have been made up? An Xiaoyu couldn't think of it, and couldn't open her mouth.

In the end, she could only ask weakly: "Then how is your life here?" ”

Zhang Shujie shook her head: "I don't know, I don't even know what life is, I don't know what kind of life is good, and I don't know how to choose when faced with two choices, at least in this tribe, these things I don't know won't bother me anymore, because it's very simple here." ”

An Xiaoyu finally felt that she couldn't sit down anymore, she suddenly stood up, looked down at Zhang Shujie, and said, "I should go, if I don't leave, I won't be able to go back." ”

"Are you going to my house for a drink?" An Xiaoyu always felt that Zhang Shujie's words meant something, so she couldn't make up her mind at all, she didn't know what Zhang Shujie meant, and she always felt that after losing her memory, what Zhang Shujie said was always not on the same channel as herself.

But An Xiaoyu thought about it, and finally said softly: "No need, I drank it from the old patriarch, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye." Zhang Shujie nodded, also stood up from the side, and stretched out her hand to hold the hoe beside her, just like a real Donghuang person, which made An Xiaoyu's heart a little uncomfortable.

She turned around and left, without a little hesitation, walked out of the tribe directly and disappeared into the vast desert, while Zhang Shujie behind her, while smiling, watched An Xiaoyu cross the sand dunes, the smile on her face finally disappeared, and she looked at the position that was monitored before.

After finding that there was no one left, Zhang Shujie seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and took out a terminal from her clothes, on which a message was displayed, and the person who sent the message clearly said Gu Yun.

After An Xiaoyu left the tribe on the edge of the tribe, which didn't even have a name, she came to the middle tribe closest to here and found Fu Tianxuan and Gu Yun, Fu Tianxuan had already heard Gu Yun say at this time that they were investigating the affairs of a base, and now they were looking for a key person.

After meeting Gu Yun, An Xiaoyu told him that he had found Zhang Shujie and met her face. Gu Yun immediately said that he wanted to see her and ask her what the situation was now, and how she was doing recently. But as soon as he spoke, he was stopped by An Xiaoyu.

Zhang Shujie seems to have been erased by those people, and now they have used their money to buy off people from a small tribe, pretending to be her clansmen, and wanting to keep her in the tribe. There is no need to meddle in this matter, at least not yet. ”

Gu Yun was anxious: "Could it be that you just watched her suffer over there?" ”

An Xiaoyu glared at him: "You think I don't want to bring her back?" But if Zhang Shujie was really taken away by us, and even knew anything about her previous memories, what do you think those people would do to those people in the tribe? ”

Gu Yun opened his mouth, and wanted to say what would happen to me about them? But before he could say it, he had already lost to his conscience, and after his face changed twice, he finally asked dejectedly: "Then what should I do?" ”

An Xiaoyu shook her head: "This matter won't end like this, even if the empire doesn't plan to pursue it, I have to find out who the guy behind it is, uproot them, and then we can bring Zhang Shujie out of that place." ”

She had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't tell Gu Yun, she just said her plan: "Then I'll go and see if the effect of the amnestic device can be reversed, and see if I can retrieve Zhang Shujie's memory." ”

Gu Yun didn't seem to have any expectations for this, but said, "I've never heard of such a thing. ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and An Xiaoyu knew in his heart that this kind of technology would hardly exist, after all, human research on the soul and nerves was still in a very shallow stage, but without asking, An Xiaoyu was still uncomfortable after all.

It's not just because I want to get back my memories for Zhang Shujie.

She called Guan Jue directly and asked him if this was possible. Guan Jue said frankly: "The amnestic device is amnestic, completely erased, and no one will be able to retrieve it, whether it is from the case or in principle." ”

"Is it possible for anyone to resist the amnestic device's modification of the memory and keep the next part of the memory?" An Xiaoyu asked again.

Guan Jue was silent for a moment, and said: "Counteracting the influence of the amnestic device, this kind of thing is not unprecedented, but if you think clearly, Zhang Shujie is just an ordinary person, even if there is a precedent, most of those who can resist amnestics are also self-cultivation, or people whose souls have been cultivated into spirits." ”

An Xiaoyu's heart gradually sank, and she sighed and said, "Forget it, how are the things handled at the base?" ”

"There are too many things here, I guess I will have to stay here for a while, Bai Yu will go back and report to President Pei first, and the distance will produce beautiful ......"

It is rare that Guan Jue will also say two witty words about the love between men and women, An Xiaoyu couldn't help but hit him: "Distance produces ghosts!" ”

Guan Jue laughed twice with An Xiaoyu, and continued: "One more thing, I heard that after that fat man returned to the imperial capital, he really waited for someone to find Zuoqiu Zhizuo, but he was sent by Zuoqiu Zhizuo to the underground 0 floor of the Three Thousand Books Sea to find Lingzun dignitaries. ”

An Xiaoyu's eyes widened, she didn't expect this fat pig to be so bold, so she asked with great interest, "And then?" ”

"Then I heard that the fat man and the five of them never came out after entering the elevator, some people went in to look for it, and they never saw a human figure, eighty percent of them were teleported by Lingzun to a place where there was no signal, right?"

An Xiaoyu nodded: "Eighty percent is yes, the fat pig is not a cultivator, so it won't be slaughtered, let them look everywhere, and when they find someone, they don't know when." Have you figured out who the commissioner above him is? ”

Guan Jue shook his head: "There are not many members in the court, more or less they are all hands and eyes, and there are countless forces standing behind them, in the Ministry of Supervision, these things have always been personally responsible for Wen Liang, even I can't know who it is." ”

"Then I'm going to ask the gentle man?" Ann whispered.

"Or don't be, this guy Wen Liangren doesn't want to be me, everything in his life is done for the work and interests of the Ministry of Supervision, if you ask him, you will inevitably be cheated by him, although for the sake of Lingzun's face, you will not be pulled into the trap, but you will not feel comfortable, believe me."

"Okay."

"But the results of the silence are in your hands, they will never give up if they don't get something, there will always be a chance for you to meet, and I think that when you know who he really is, it should not be far off." Guan Jue seems to have something to say.

"What do you know?" An Xiaoyu asked excitedly.

"I don't have the right to disclose this matter now, but you will know when the time comes, don't worry."

"When did you learn to hang your appetite?" An Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.

"You'll know when you say it, and when you know, I shouldn't have left yet, remember to come to me to get the second terminal, I've reserved a share for you, and it should be good for everything in the future."

As he spoke, An Xiaoyu saw another phone call sign in the upper left corner of the light screen, which showed the number of the family, so An Xiaoyu said: "I know, since you don't say it, I won't ask, I'll hang up first, and the family seems to have something to do with me." ”

"Well, enjoy your few days off." Guan Jue still smiled like a poisonous snake, which made people feel a little sad in their hearts.

Hanging up Guan Jue's phone, An Xiaoyu picked up the communication at home.

The equipment of the Jiuxi tribe is relatively backward, and the signals of these tribes in the Eastern Wilderness have always been open in batches, and the signal quality of the Jiuxi tribe that can support video calls is only from 8 to 10 o'clock in the evening. An Xiaoyu put the terminal to her ear, and then heard her mother's cry.

An Xiaoyu suddenly panicked in her heart, something happened at home?

Listening to where her mother was crying, she was talking something intermittently, but because of the whimpering and the poor signal at home, An Xiaoyu didn't hear it clearly at all, so she could only loudly tell her mother not to panic and explain things clearly.

At this time, An Youfu snatched the phone and said to An Xiaoyu: "Hurry up and go home!" Xiao An had an accident here, the whole person was unconscious, the situation was a little wrong, and we didn't dare to touch him casually. ”

An Xiaoyu hurriedly responded, comforted An Youfu a few words, and after hanging up the phone, he said hello to Fu Tianxuan and Gu Yun, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and when he looked at it again, there was only a black spot left in the air, which made Fu Tianxuan and Gu Yun envious for a while.

However, at this time, An Xiaoyu couldn't care about the exclamations of the two friends behind her, she rushed back home as fast as she could, and before she arrived at the door, she heard her mother's familiar crying, and hurriedly rushed into the house: "Where is Xiao An?" ”

An Youfu was waiting at the door, and directly brought An Xiaoyu to An Xiao'an's bedroom: "When he was outside today, he suddenly became like this, and he was carried back and unconscious, what the hell is going on?" ”

An Xiaoyu looked at An Xiao'an's current appearance, and clearly felt that there was a familiar energy circulating in An Xiao'an's body, and when he saw the light brain and memory card on An Xiao'an's desk, his face turned black in an instant.
