Chapter Ninety-Eight: Where It Begins
Lao Zhang looked at Qiu Cheng's answer, and his smile became a little weird, but Qiu Cheng didn't notice such a change in him, Lao Zhang nodded and said, "You are really a memory seller!" I still know a lot about memory sellers, but I didn't expect memory dealers to be as embarrassed as you, how do you feel like you've been hunted down and just escaped? ”
Qiu Cheng used all the memories in his mind to think, but he didn't come up with a result, and replied helplessly: "Actually, I don't know what happened, maybe I've been a memory seller for too long, and then choose to sell my own memories!" Or my memory has been erased,"
Qiu Cheng said and began to touch his chest, he didn't know how to explain the injury on his body, so he didn't plan to tell Lao Zhang, after all, he didn't know the person in front of him, and it was indispensable to guard against people, and there was no need to tell someone he had just met.

Lao Zhang touched his head and asked with a smile: "Since you have no memory, why do you still know who you are?" Are you only selling a part of your memories? ”
Qiu Cheng did not answer Lao Zhang immediately, but asked Lao Zhang in turn: "What is the number today?" ”
"July 12th," Lao Zhang is obviously very clear about today's date.
"July 12, 2055?" Qiu Cheng wanted to confirm something, so he continued to ask, Lao Zhang was a little curious, looked at Qiu Cheng, and then nodded.
"I just sold my memories for five years," Qiu Cheng did not hesitate to this question, he felt that even if he told Lao Zhang, it didn't matter, so he said: "I still have memories of myself from childhood to 20 years old in my mind, and there are no memories from the age of 20 to the present, and the memories in the middle are all blank, until I woke up on the grass by the river embankment just now." ”
"Oh...... That's it! Lao Zhang finally understood what was going on, and then said with a smile: "Then you have been a memory seller for at least five years!" Otherwise, how can you wake up until you're a memory seller? ”
Qiu Cheng shook his head and explained: "It's not that long, when I was 20 years old, I was still at Polytechnic University?" I don't know when I became a memory seller, and when I woke up, I found that I had the memory seller's equipment, and the memory seller's bracelet, so I thought so! ”
Qiu Cheng thought of something, and then continued: "Besides, in my memory before, I didn't learn the skills of a memory seller, but I don't know why I actually know how to use these devices, which proves that I am a memory seller, not to mention, you also saw that I have something of a memory seller, do you think I'm not?" ”
Lao Zhang nodded, seemingly persuaded by Qiu Cheng's words, and then thought of something and asked: "So what office building are you talking about, as well as the old house, what is going on in the old community, is it your memory before the age of 20?" ”
"No, I remember these places like the memory dealer technique," Qiu Cheng said, "I remember those places, but I forgot what they were, but if I saw them, I would definitely recognize them." ”
Lao Zhang nodded again, and after thinking about some things in his mind, he pretended to cough and asked with a smile: "Since this is okay, and you still know where you are, then the place you said is your home, haven't you lived there since you were a child?" ”
Lao Zhang has a lot of questions, this is already beyond the scope of curiosity, but Qiu Cheng feels that this is normal, the two of them are looking for topics in the car, or rather, an older person likes to ask young people about the past.
"It's not supposed to be after I graduate," Qiu Cheng replied.
Lao Zhang sighed, as if he was feeling something, and then said, "This memory trafficking technique!" It has really changed a lot of things and changed the way of life of many people! Anyway, if you sell these memories, it should have an impact on your life, don't you want to get them back? ”
Faced with this problem, Qiu Cheng once again suffered the pressure of memory, like this question made him difficult to accept, and the memory before the age of 20 began to think about this problem constantly.
In the end, he shook his head and said: "I don't want to, I believe that I decided not to have these memories, there must be my reasons, maybe there are too many sad pasts, so I sell my memories, the purpose is to want to live a good life in the future, so I believe in myself, there must be a past that I dare not look back, so I have no intention of looking back on those memories." ”
Lao Zhang seemed a little incomprehensible, and said lightly: "I can't imagine that you are young, and now you have the mentality of an old man like us to see through the past?" That's a little wrong! ”
Qiu Cheng was silent for a while, looked at Lao Zhang, and felt that Lao Zhang didn't look like a bad person, and he didn't want to talk about it, but now that he was asked like this, he let it go.
"I am an orphan," Qiu Cheng said lightly: "I grew up in an orphanage since I was a child, and then I was admitted to the Polytechnic University in Xinkong City. ”
Lao Zhang sighed again this time, like an old man's sigh, he was in his forties, in fact, he was already fifty or sixty years old, and his mentality was the same, and he said lightly: "What a poor child, what about before?" Before the memory trafficking technology came out, people wanted to forget the painful things, but now that there is such a technology, it can reduce a lot of pain, so it may be a good thing for you! ”
Then the two of them began to be silent for a while, Lao Zhang concentrated on driving, Qiu Cheng began to recall his previous things, so he thought he was Xiao Mu's memory, he was a child in an orphanage, and later lived in a two-year school at Polytechnic University, everything was so real, and it really made people feel that this was his life.
The car quickly drove to the bottom of an office building, Qiu Cheng was still in his memory, did not come back to his senses, and at this time Lao Zhang deliberately turned a corner in front of the office building, the car drove to the front of an alley, and then stopped and said to Qiu Cheng: "It's already here, my store is diagonally opposite, let me get out of the car to buy a pack of cigarettes first, and I smoked cigarettes in the morning, and now I am addicted to smoking." ”
Saying that, Lao Zhang got out of the car directly, Qiu Cheng began to pay attention to the environment outside the car, but after looking at it, he was stunned, kept looking again, wanted to see clearly, and finally Qiu Cheng actually opened the door, got out of the car, looked at the surrounding buildings, as well as alleys, houses, like a long-lost expression, with a little excitement, constantly turning in circles, seeing the surroundings clearly.
"This is the place, I can remember these places," Qiu Cheng said to himself at this time, very excited: "I just live here, I understand, there is no mistake, this is this place." ”
At this time, at the entrance of a convenience store, Lao Zhang did not enter the convenience store to buy cigarettes at all, but looked at the excited Qiu Cheng not far away, Lao Zhang took out a cigarette from his body, lit one, and took a deep puff, like a person who is addicted to cigarettes, he looked at Qiu Cheng like this, and said to himself lightly: "Does it feel familiar?" It's just that you don't have any memory, and this time, everything started from scratch again, what will happen to you in the future? All I can say is sorry for all this! ”
Lao Zhang's eyes when he looked at Qiu Cheng had completely changed, but Qiu Cheng didn't know that Lao Zhang was looking at him in this place, he was still watching from the side of the car, so excited, like a child who had found a home, the memory of many years, or something hidden deep in his heart, began to trigger a person's emotions.
It's just that Qiu Cheng has no memory, he doesn't know what happened here before, who he met here, he forgot that this is where he started.
