Chapter Twenty-Three: Blank Memory
Looking at the words on the photo, I read it several times in a row, and I didn't understand what it meant?
Kong Xue and Shi Tao also came over, looked at the words on the back of the photo for a while, and shook their heads helplessly.
I looked at Sadiq again, "My second uncle, what did you say when you left this line?" ”
Sadiq thought for a moment, "There's nothing too special about it, it's like this......"
At that time, when the second uncle said that the person he was looking for was called Zhuo Ran, Sadiq recalled it carefully and found that there was no one named Zhuo Ran among the people he knew within a radius of more than ten kilometers.
Sadiq had been a friend since he was young, so he was very familiar with the people in the neighborhood. Because he had never heard of the person the second uncle said, he asked the second uncle if the person he was looking for was not nearby.
The second uncle shook his head and said, "Of course this person is not nearby, he is inside." He gestured to the endless desert in the distance.
When Sadiq heard this, he waved his hand again and again, "Impossible, that is, there are still some people on the outskirts of the desert, and if you go inside, it will be a desert no man's land, and there can be no people there." ”
The second uncle just smiled and didn't speak.
Sadiq didn't know why, just looked at the second uncle in a daze.
After a while, the second uncle reached out and took the photo in Sadiq's hand, took out a pen, and wrote a line of Chinese characters on it.
The second uncle told him that maybe twenty years or more, if Sadiq met a man surnamed Zhuo here, he would show the picture to this person, and then tell this person, and he would wait for this person in the desert.
Looking at the words on the photo, I really can't imagine that the second uncle, who usually giggles, actually did such a thing back then.
The sentence left by the second uncle is obviously for me to see, but what does this sentence mean? What the hell is he trying to tell me?
There is also one point that makes me puzzled, how could the second uncle not know the prophet and know that there will be a person surnamed Zhuo here in the future, why would he be so sure, in fact, our coming here is completely random, and it is not my will, if we do not come to Sadiq, but enter the desert from somewhere else, then who will see this sentence left by the second uncle!
Twenty years seemed to be a node, and too many things happened at that time. But this time our findings in particular did not make me understand.
I didn't expect that what happened 20 years ago would have something to do with me! I was just six years old at that time, how could I have gone to the desert at that time, and I should have been with my parents at that time, or just started school.
However, when I looked back on it, I was surprised to find that I really couldn't remember what I was doing at that time.
I sat down in my chair and closed my eyes and searched my memories carefully, hoping to find any memories of myself before I was six years old, but I thought about it for a long time and was surprised to find that I didn't have a single memory of what happened before I was six years old.
I panicked all of a sudden, for more than 20 years, I had never thought about this problem, and I hadn't paid attention to these things, but now that I really think about it, I realize that something is really not right.
I can't think of a single thing that happened before I was six years old! If I was young at that time and didn't have a whole memory, but I still should have a fragmentary memory. But I didn't even have it at all, as if that time was blank.
I suddenly became scared, did I really have a problem! But what the hell is going on!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head, silently thinking in my heart, second uncle, second uncle! What exactly have you done? What are you doing now? What secret is behind me!
When I stood up, I suddenly felt a little dizzy in my head and staggered a little when I walked. Kong Xue hurriedly stepped forward to support me, "Zhuo Ran, are you okay?" ”
I forced a smile and waved my hand, "It's okay, I'm a little tired, I want to go and rest first." I patted Kong Xue, "I can do it myself!" With that, I walked to the courtyard and walked towards my room.
Kong Xue originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Shi Tao, and said softly to Kong Xue: "Let him be quiet by himself." ”
I walked out into the courtyard and looked at the desolate desert in the distance, exuding a solemn aura. What is hidden in the depths of the endless yellow sand?
I walked into my room and collapsed on the bed. There was a lot of confusion in my head. I suddenly realized that I had fallen in, I was thinking about it so deeply that it was hard to breathe, and it was none other than myself who was pulling me in.
The scenes of the past are uncontrollably presented in my mind, I don't know where to start to organize my thoughts, I feel that I must find the second uncle as soon as possible and ask what is going on! I decided that no matter what he said this time, no matter how much he shirked, I would not give up, and I must figure out the ins and outs of the matter!
Thinking about it, I fell into a deep sleep. After falling asleep, I had a dream in which I was standing in the middle of the desert, and it was dusk all around, and the sand flew all over the air, and even the sky turned yellow. The yellow sand is so yellow that you can't tell where the desert is and where the sky is. It felt like it was a strong wind, but I couldn't feel the wind.
I stood in the middle of it, trying to find my way out, but all around me was covered with yellow sand, and I couldn't tell where I was.
Suddenly, through the yellow sand flying in the sky, I seemed to faintly see a short figure not far in front of me. Looks like a child.
I hurried forward, and although I couldn't feel the wind, I subconsciously covered my mouth when the sand particles hit my face.
As I walked forward, I shouted, "Hey! Wait a minute! ”
The child in front of me probably heard my shout and paused slightly, but did not look back. As soon as I saw him stop, I hurriedly quickened my pace, but the child in front of me only stopped, but immediately started running.
I was shocked when I saw it, and hurriedly ran after him, I caught up with him in a few steps, and grabbed his arm, "You kid, how dangerous you are!" Why run? ”
The child turned his head slowly, and when I saw the child's face, I fell to the ground in fright.
Because that face is clearly what I looked like when I was a child, this child turned out to be myself!
The kid looked at me, smiled, turned and continued to run. I came to my senses, got up and chased after me.
Soon I saw the figure of the child, who was standing motionless, looking fixedly ahead. I quickened my pace, but when I was less than two meters away from the child, I suddenly stopped abruptly.
For I saw that in front of the child was a deep hole of great proportions.
Isn't this the Eye of the Void? But isn't the Eye of the Void in the depths of the island? How did you get to the desert?
I want to call that child, but what should I call him? I? Little Zhuoran?
I shouted with a long mouth, "Hey, kids, come back!" It's dangerous there! ”
This time the child heard my voice and turned his head, looked at me and smiled, raised his immature little hand, pointed at me, and then at himself.
Before I could understand it, I was suddenly shocked to see that the child leaned back and slowly fell into the void eyes behind him.
Shocked, I took two steps and reached out to grab the child, but I was still one step slower, and could only watch him slowly disappear into the dark hole.
It was a strange feeling, like the feeling I had when I fell into the Void Eye in the island tomb. 、
I screamed and sat up, only to find myself still in bed. Shi Tao, who was on the other bed, woke up when he heard my voice, "Zhuo Ran, are you okay?" ”
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, "It's okay Brother Tao, I just had a nightmare!" ”
Shi Tao nodded and handed me a glass of water, "Don't think too much, things will always fall into place, relax, it will affect your own judgment!" ”
I nodded, "I see." ”
Lying in bed again, reminiscing about the dream I had just had, it was very real, and I could even feel the feeling of the yellow sand on my face.
I was groggy and half-asleep until dawn. I heard Shi Tao next to me get up and wash, and then walked out of the door, although I was not very comfortable lying on the bed, but I still didn't want to move. I just lay there, let my mind think about nothing, and looked straight at the roof.
Until Kong Xuelai knocked on my door, "Zhuo Ran, Zhuo Ran, are you awake?" ”
I withdrew my gaze from the rooftop, "Ah, wake up." What's wrong? ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Kong Xue pushed the door and walked in, yesterday I didn't know when I took off my shirt, as soon as Kong Xue came in, I subconsciously pulled up the quilt and covered my body.
Kong Xue glanced at me, "Virtue, who wants to look at you!" ”
I smiled awkwardly, "What's wrong?" Is it time for breakfast? ”
"Like a pig, eat it when you wake up!" Kong Xue pointed outside, "Dawu reminded us, we plan to talk to him about the guide, do you want to go together?" ”
"Go!" I lifted the covers and sat up.
"You!" Kong Xue blushed, hurriedly turned her head and walked out.
I couldn't help but shake my head, "This woman, it's so strange, don't be afraid to look, what are you running!" ”
I washed up a bit, and then followed Kong Xue to the hall, where there was already a lot of breakfast on the table in the middle of the room, including baked buns, milk tea, and naan.
Dawut was sitting at the table at this time, holding a naan in one hand and a bowl of milk tea in the other, and was eating it heavily.
Looking at this eating appearance, Kong Xue frowned, "This person has a good appetite!" Don't be a master of food and drink anymore! ”
Hearing Kong Xue's words, Dawut slowly raised his head......
