Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

For a whole afternoon, Lu You and his companion strolled around half of Qingshi Town, going in and out of various stores.

Only after filling Lu Yi's entire backpack did he walk towards the city gate with a sense of unsatisfied desire.

"Second sister, father just passed away. Aren't we spending too much money?" Lu Yi said, panting.

The book basket was now filled with various items, roughly estimated to weigh more than 50 kilograms.

With Lu Yi's strength, it would have been impossible for him to carry such a heavy thing, let alone accompany Lu You for a long time.

But with the help of half a pill of Asan Dali Pill, Lu Yi actually persisted.

The medicinal effect was so miraculous that even Lu You, the owner of the system, couldn't help but marvel at it.

“Did we spend a lot of money?”

Lu You subconsciously bit the sour green pear in his hand, and reached for the secret pouch on his waist with both hands.

"Thirty catties of fine rice, six cents per catty, a total of one hundred and eighty cents."

"Ten catties of white meat, twelve cents per catty, a total of one hundred and twenty cents."

"Two catties of official salt, thirty coins per catty, a total of sixty coins."

"Three pairs of cloth shoes, eighty cents in total..."

Hearing Lu Yi calculating one by one, Lu You couldn't help but interrupt him: "I know you have a good memory, just tell me the total!"

"Counting the money I have to pay Uncle Li for the ride, the expenses for the tea stand and the wontons, plus the things in this book basket..."

Lu Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"We spent a total of 495 coins today!"

At this time, Lu You had already taken out the remaining two coins from the secret bag, and added a string of copper coins, making exactly fifteen coins.

When he went out today, Lu You took two cents of silver and two hundred copper coins with him, plus the three cents of silver he earned from copying books in the school, making a total of seven cents.

There are two cents and fifteen coins left here, but I still need to deduct the ten coins for the car fare that I will pay to Uncle Li later.

There were exactly two cents and five coins left!

It’s exactly the same as what Lu Yi calculated!

"Your memory is pretty good!"

Lu You put away the silver and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

"Xiao Yi, I've been curious ever since you recognized the two guys from the casino."

"You only passed by the casino half a year ago and took a look at them, but you were able to remember their faces. How did you do it?"

Lu Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, and after thinking it over again, he spoke again.

"I didn't do anything, I just saw it and remembered it."

"Is it that simple?" Lu You asked unwillingly.

"I don't know either..." Lu Yi said hesitantly: "Anyway... I just remember it!"

"Then how far back can you remember what happened?" Lu You couldn't help but ask again out of curiosity.

“Everything from when I was four years old until now.”

hiss……

Lu You took a breath of cold air.

This guy has hyperamnesia! !

In his previous life, Lu You had seen such a case on the Internet. This was an extremely rare brain mutation.

The most obvious difference between people with hyperthymesia and ordinary people is that their brains have an automatic memory system that will indiscriminately store everything the patient has experienced permanently!

Many people may envy such ability and think it is a gift from God.

With this ability, whether you are studying or working, you can remember the information you want to remember at just a glance and never forget it.

But in fact, hyperthymesia is defined as a rare disease that cannot be cured in medicine!

Because when their brains record things, they don’t choose to include everything!

For example, when reading a book, they remember not only the knowledge in the book, but also the patterns on the table, the coughs of the people next to them, and even the smells around them, which will all be stored in the brain.

And in the future, as long as you smell that smell again, or come into contact with other information similar to the conditions at that time.

Then his memory would become uncontrollable, and he would go back to that day again, replaying all the scenes in his mind!

It would be fine if patients with hyperthymesia could always live in an ideal and happy environment.

But unfortunately, real life contains too many unsatisfactory things.

For most people, those memories that are embarrassing, sad, heartbreaking, or aggrieved can mostly be diluted by time.

But these things are the source of pain for patients with hyperthymesia.

Lu You had seen in the information he searched in his previous life that almost all patients with hyperthymesia had serious psychological problems.

Because when they are sleeping or free, those bad memories will constantly emerge in their minds, causing them to repeatedly fall into the pain of embarrassment and anxiety.

In order to avoid the increase of such painful memories, almost all patients with hyperthymesia will choose to isolate themselves in a small area and minimize contact with others.

However, in this strange world, there is no modern medicine, let alone psychology.

There wasn't even enough material support to create an environment for Lu Yi to have less contact with others.

If you don’t find a way to stay alive, you will starve to death!

In such an environment, Lu Yi, a patient with hyperthymesia, can only suppress the backlash brought about by those painful memories from time to time.

At this point, Lu You finally understood where Lu Yi's gloomy personality came from!

A full ten years!

If it were me, I would have collapsed long ago!

Looking at Lu Yi's sweaty face, Lu You reached out and took out a green pear from the book basket on his back and handed it to him.

"Xiaoyi, have a pear! It will quench your thirst!"

"Thank you, second sister!"

Lu Yi took the green pear, wiped it casually and put it to his mouth.

Click!

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +30, +30, +30...]

Lu You turned and looked at Lu Yi in confusion.

“Are the pears sour?”

"It's sweet!" As he spoke, Lu Yi calmly handed the green pear to Lu You: "Would you like to try it?"

Sour rejection...

After walking for about another quarter of an hour, Lu You and the other man finally returned to the city gate.

There is a curfew in Qingshi Town at night, but this curfew only closes the city gates and does not prevent people in the city from moving around.

People like Lu You who live outside the city need to leave before the city is closed if they want to go home.

The place where Mr. Chen and everyone gathered every time was under the city wall about ten meters to the left of the city gate.

When Lu You and the others arrived there, they saw two figures leaning against the wall waiting for them. They were their eldest aunt Qian and their second cousin Wu Xiu Lian.

[Negative emotions from Qian +5, +5, +5...]

As soon as he approached, Lu You heard the system prompt sound.

But it is understandable. After all, I just cheated their family out of eight cents of silver. It would be strange if she didn't hate me!

After all, Lu You is a well-educated and well-mannered person. No matter how much the other party hates him, he must show proper courtesy.

Lu You walked quickly forward and bowed slightly to Qian.

"It's really elegant of you to choose this place to bask in the sun!"
