I have always felt that the year 2000 was a time leap for most people, and before 2000, newspapers and folk rumors were advocating the extinction of mankind, whether in the West or the East, and many believers believed that it was a catastrophe for the earth and began to preach the theory of world destruction. But in the end, except for a millennial worm virus, humanity still successfully passed the millennium mark.

However, at that time, I was hiding in a dense forest in Myanmar looking for ancient ruins.

The small towns in Myanmar are very backward, and in some places there is not even hot water. I walked out of the woods panting with my bag on my back, and when I entered the town, I didn't attract too many people's attention.

The only small hotel in town costs ten dollars a night, which is about the same price as the emaciated local special services worker. But there is still no hot water here, and I usually take a shower.

The little girl sitting at the bar at the entrance of the hotel was watching a cartoon on the black and white TV of an unknown age, and she looked at me and said, "There is no hot water today, do you want wine?" ”

It's not uncommon to be able to speak Mandarin close to the border between the two countries, but the accent is strange and you need to get used to it so you don't have communication barriers. I nodded and said, "How much?" ”

"Twenty bucks." The liquor sold in the inns was the cheapest and water-mixed thing, but in such a backcountry it was good to have a sip. It's just that the price is a bit expensive, and in this kind of bank where you need to drive a tricycle for half a day, my money is almost bottoming out.

"It's expensive." I muttered.

"Hehe, then you can skip it." The little girl was very good at business, and laughed treacherously.

"The whole bottle, by the way, did the newspaper arrive?" The only advantage in this town is that you can still see the domestic newspapers, but it is not in real time, because it may have been half a month when the newspapers were delivered.

"Yes, I'll send it to you later. Mom said, let you pay the rent you owe, otherwise I won't rent it to you. ”

I waved my hand to show that I understood, and walked up the stairs. The room is small, and soundproofing is almost non-existent, so sometimes the little couple in town comes to do some strenuous exercise, and I can't sleep all night. I checked the package, although there is nothing valuable in the eyes of ordinary people, but this kind of town often has people in the circle coming and going, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will come to visit.

After the inspection, it was okay, everything was complete, and no one came.

Walk to the window and look out at the muddy town roads, the humble houses, the villagers in hats, old shirts and torn jeans dangling around.

Then I drew the curtains, turned on the only light bulb in the room, and pulled a stone out of my bosom, which is why I am here.

Over the years, I have secretly followed the Shenmen to secretly investigate the affairs of the Shenmen, and on the other hand, I have searched for mysterious areas to explore, trying to find some clues that can explain my own secrets. I came here because I heard from friends in the circle that there had been some strange phenomena in this place, and the villagers could actually recall some things that happened in their previous lives after returning from entering the forest. And it has been verified that these things are actually true.

This phenomenon is somewhat similar to my secret, so I came here. After investigation, it was determined that these people had passed through a mysterious ancient temple deep in the dense forest. It's just that there is no record of this ancient temple in the local literature, and at the same time, the people who have entered the ancient temple have forgotten the route to enter this ancient temple after coming out, and most of them are at night, after getting lost, they accidentally walked in, and the next day they came out by mistake.

So I stayed in the town, kept investigating, and finally found the ancient temple two days ago and entered the ancient temple. In the end, it was discovered that this was actually a ruined temple of ancient gods. The real magic power in the ancient temple and the influence on people is actually this stone in my hand. This stone has an effect on the soul of a person, and those affected by it will recall some memories of their previous lives that remain on the soul, but they are only fragments.

As for why others can't remember the route to enter the ancient temple, it is actually because of the confusion of the brain after being affected by this stone.

It's just that this stone is not the answer I'm looking for, nor is it a clue, and even the power it contains can only affect ordinary people, and it is of no use to people like me.

"When I return home, I will sell it as a baby." I sighed, this is not the first time that I have been hopeful and disappointed. Before I knew it, I had been running outside for several years, and the wall calendar on the wall also showed that it had been 2000 years, and I suddenly realized that I hadn't been home for so long. And most of the time is in the mountains or secret realms, and there is no way to report the safety of the family. And because the place of residence is constantly changing, I can't receive letters.

Open the wallet, there is not much money left, pay the rent and go back to save a penny, and when you return to China, find a bank to withdraw some money and continue the trip. I didn't even think of going home in my mind, and even though I hadn't been back for years, this adventure would never stop if I didn't answer the questions in my heart.

I took a cigarette from the cigarette case, and when I was about to light it, I caught a glimpse of a black car parked on the town avenue downstairs, and then several men who were not locals at first glance got out of the car, and several people looked around and entered the hotel. Although I don't know these people, I always feel that these people seem to be coming for me. I immediately raised my vigilance, and after a few moments there was a knock on the door, and I immediately asked alertly, "Who?" ”

"It's me." The voice is the innkeeper's daughter.

I walked over and opened the door, and she was standing in the doorway with a bottle of wine and a stack of newspapers. Something looked at me strangely.

"Thank you." I took the wine and the newspaper and thanked her, and when she was about to leave, I took a piece of steel from my bosom and raised it in front of her, and the little girl looked at me and said, "What's wrong?" Want me to run your errands? ”

I shook my head and said, "I wanted to ask who the people who just came in were?" If you tell me, I'll give you a dollar. ”

The little girl took the money directly from me, and then said, "It seems that I came from outside to stay, and I asked for two rooms, a total of four people." ”

"Chinese?" I asked.

"Yes, listening to the voice is the person of your country." She replied immediately.

I nodded and smiled, "So, if you can memorize their information and tell me, I'll give you another dollar, how about it?" ”

She was a thief, and said with a smile: "Five yuan, no two prices." ”

I frowned, the locals were not stupid at all, they were very shrewd when it came to bargaining, and in the end they were sold for three dollars.

I took a sip of a little light and slightly bitter wine, took a cigarette and watched the boss's daughter copy down the information of these people, the names are very ordinary, they are pseudonyms at first glance, and they are all in their 30s, but when the boss helped them register, they asked them what they were doing, and they said that they were exploring the mountains. But if you go into the mountains to explore without the corresponding tools, you are not a backpacker at first glance. The most important thing is that these people said that they would only stay for one night and leave tomorrow.

"Three dollars is a bit of a loss." I muttered and took a sip of my wine. Picking up the newspaper and flipping through it, there have been many major events in China in recent years, not to mention the ever-changing municipal construction, and various policies are promoting rapid economic development. And the biggest headache for me is the popularization of the Internet and computers, I really don't know much about computers, and I haven't deliberately learned it, and I can't even turn it on and off at that time. There is also the matter of surfing the Internet, I used to go to the library to check materials, but now I sit at home and hear people say that there is everything on the Internet, but for me, who looked very young and looked like I was in my twenties at that time, but in fact I was in my thirties, the Internet was like an insurmountable difficulty, and it sounded like a headache.

Thinking about leaving tomorrow after settling the money, I drank some wine, and I was not drunk, I washed myself with cold water, looked at myself in the mirror, I don't know when this journey will end, the golden hair is too eye-catching, and I dyed it black, but after a long time, new golden hair will grow on it. The skin was very white and there was not a single scar. Over the years, I don't seem to have aged at all......
