Chapter 31: Goodbye Lin Zhi
The sunset skyline shimmers in the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance. The sky of the North Guard gradually darkened, and dusk crept in with light steps. After all, the sun is going to sink into darkness, and the original golden light also exudes a dazzling fiery red at this time, just like life, there will always be big ups and downs, people will not necessarily keep moving forward, and occasionally turn down, because the scenery elsewhere is also charming.
A fiery red glow sprinkled on my face, waking me from my slumber.
I twisted my waist, trying to make my body comfortable, then looked around and said to myself, "Where is this?"
I stood up, rubbed my face, and rubbed my head again, and quickly sobered myself up.
Oh yes, I remember, I'm in the north of the Acropolis and this is my rental house.
"But what am I doing on the Acropolis?" I held my chin back and thought.
It seems that I am looking for a friend, but I have never been to the Acropolis since I was a child, so how can I have a friend here? Did they meet in the distant sky?
The more I thought about it, the more strange it became, and finally I didn't want to think about it at all, and looked out the window that was getting darker, and planned to go out for a walk.
I pushed the door open and went downstairs, feeling a little hungry, so I found a nearby restaurant.
Looking at the façade of this restaurant, I suddenly felt that I had come here to eat before. I walked in and ordered a random noodle, and then the waiter brought it to me, and I looked at him, and found it familiar, so I said, "Where have we met?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "You came here to eat once a few days ago, and you talked to me......
"Oh... That's the case, no wonder I've seen you somewhere, so I've been here to eat. I reluctantly pressed my forehead: "Recently, my brain is a little abnormal, and I am always forgetful."
The waiter smiled awkwardly, didn't say anything, turned around and went to work. I didn't think much of it, and lowered my head to eat the noodles.
After a while, I dragged my tired body and stretched, wiped my mouth with paper, got up and left, walked to the door of the store, and looked back at the waiter with some reluctance.
I shook my head helplessly, what's wrong with me, it's weird.
What I didn't know was that after I left, the waiter looked at my back and muttered, "Goodbye, Lin Zhi."
The waiter was also surprised by what he said inexplicably, and quickly patted his forehead, no longer thinking nonsense, and in a blink of an eye, he threw himself back into work.
......
By this time it was already dark, and the streetlights on the side of the road illuminated the entire street for pedestrians. I found a stone pier to sit on (it was not easy to find a chair on the side of the road in those days), and looked at the starry sky.
Just as I was thinking about why I had come to Beiwei, a man walked out of the darkness not far away, who was holding a cane, a little hunchbacked, and whose beard was almost over his chest, and the person's appearance was unknown because of the darkness, and I couldn't see it clearly.
He walked up to me and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is it, do you understand?"
The inexplicable accosting made me stunned, and just as I refused to answer this seemingly crazy question, my head suddenly cleared up, as if countless scenes flashed in my mind, and these moments were all connected, as if it was...... Memory?
These scattered memories eventually came together and wandered back and forth in my mind, and through these memories I remembered.
I came to Beiwei to find Wang Xiaosheng! And this person in front of me is the old man who has fulfilled several wishes for me!
I also remembered why I suddenly passed out today, because of the memory conflict between the previous timeline and the new timeline, which caused me to be unbearable and unconscious......
Under the brass lamp, the faint light hit me overhead, and the passers-by faded away, and the streets soon became empty.
I looked at the old man deeply: "I see, if I don't care about it, what will happen if it goes on like this?"
The old man touched his beard and said indifferently: "Today's event is a sign, and in the future, you will slowly and completely forget all the memories of the previous timeline!"
"Whew......" I let out a long breath and really understood the truth.
This reminds me of a saying: if you play with time, time will play with you, and no one knows what the consequences of changing the timeline at will may or may not be good.
And as far as I am concerned, it must be good, compared to my family harmony, my parents are alive, how can it be bad? However, at the cost of forgetting all the memories of Wang Xiaosheng and Beiwei, I will definitely not be reluctant.
The old man knew me very well about this, and he knew very well that if I understood the cause and effect between this, I would definitely make a wish to him!
Thinking of this, I looked at him with a smile: "Old man, you understand me very well."
The corners of the old man's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said, "Since this is the case, don't talk about anything else, just make a wish."
"Okay, I won't ink anymore, I just made a wish!" I opened my throat.
"Okay, say what you want!"
"My wish is that I will never forget the memories of the pre-timeline and keep them in my head...... You can't forget it! ”
With that, the old man smiled and raised three fingers, and then disappeared in place.
But the old man's voice still reached my ears:
"Kid, get ready to make your choice!"
