[Waiting for the end of the world] Dongli chrysanthemum

The structure of the human brain is very wonderful. The area responsible for learning and memory is called the hippocampus. Because the shape is similar to the hippocampus, it is called the hippocampus.Short-term memories in daily life are stored in the hippocampus. If a memory fragment, such as a phone number or a person is mentioned repeatedly in a short period of time, the hippocampus will transfer it to the cerebral cortex and become a permanent memory.

People like to call newborn babies a blank slate, because they need to learn to have various skills. The learning process is that the hippocampus remembers what they have learned, and it will transfer information to the cerebral cortex if it is not forgotten for a period of time. The things remembered by the cortex can often be kept for a relatively long time, but if they are not used for a long time, they will be forgotten.

The brain is also the most complex organ of human beings. So far, no scientist has been able to use science to fully reveal the brain. Although mortal cultivators are out of the scope of human beings, they are still human to a certain extent. Some methods of cultivators seem to be Extremely clever, for example, it can erase human memory.Humans can also destroy part or all of the hippocampus, causing people to lose part or all of their memories.The latter is more thorough. As long as the hippocampus has no possibility of recovery, those memories are completely impossible to come back.

A cultivator erasing memories is like erasing handwriting on white paper with an eraser. No matter how clean the wipe is, there will always be traces left, whether deep or shallow. If the memory is deeper, the traces left will be deeper.

When we put the white paper under the light at a certain angle, we can see the original writing marks on it.Or use an instrument to distinguish, and very shallow traces can be seen clearly.

When we don't want to see some handwriting, we will use extra force when using the eraser, and then deliberately forget them, and then really forget them.

These dumb people know it all.

He believes that he will remember what he should remember, and he is anxious but not impatient.When Ning An asked him where he was going, he shook his head; Ning An invited him to go with him, and he silently agreed.He has nowhere to go.

After leaving Daofeng Cave Mansion, the mute's memory of the outside world still remains at a time when the Earth's technology was developing rapidly and human society was thriving. After he was taken away by Dao Feng Cave, he has been imprisoned in the Cave Mansion, and has no way of knowing the changes in the outside world.The other Taoist boys were similar to him, he was the last one to enter, and knew a little more than they knew, and the latest of these Taoist boys was brought there by Dao Feng ten years ago.

Leaving the deep mountain where Daofeng Cave Mansion is located, the mute has been wandering on this unrecognizable land, surprised by such earth-shaking changes in the world, and sometimes he will save some people in danger by the way, such as Ning An's team .

Of course, Ning An didn't need him to save him. Ning An just left the city with those strangers. When he was really in danger, he would choose to save himself first.But Ning An is still grateful to the mute, knowing that he is a mute, he has no extra thoughts, but thinks that this disfigured man has a good heart and excellent abilities. In the end times, human beings still need to stick together to get through this endless battle catastrophe.

Where the boy died, all that was left was a pile of tattered and blood-stained clothes and a tennis racket covered in the teeth marks of radioactive rats.His relatives or friends took the tennis racket back and hugged it, and shed tears that had never been shed.

When someone left the radiation rat pile, he picked up many radiation rat corpses. These disgusting little animals can still be eaten. When a person is hungry, even if it is poison, he may swallow the poison. Hunger is not something everyone can bear.

They cut off the head and limbs of the radiated rats, skinned and removed the internal organs, and looked for firewood to prepare for barbecue. They carried very little water, not enough to drink, and could not be cooked.

The mute was carrying his cloth bag all the time, and he never saw him open it. They didn't see him take out food from the cloth bag when they were eating and drinking. Offered him some, the mute shook his head and refused.He doesn't have to eat at all.

The people in the team said goodbye one after another and left separately. It was just a temporary team. The purpose of leaving the city had been achieved. Everyone had their own destination, and separation was inevitable.

A group of four, Ning An, Da Qiang, dumb, plus the middle-aged man, Da Qiang called him the squad leader, who was the instructor who led their class when the two first joined the army.

Ning An said that they were going to Qilong City, where his brother and his son were also there.

The mute rarely communicated with them along the way, one day he suddenly borrowed a pen and paper from Daqiang, and asked Ning An: [Have you seen me? 】Ning An was a little puzzled, how could he have seen a mute?If he had seen such a character, he would definitely not be able to forget it.

The dumb man wrote and scratched on the paper, and showed Ning An a portrait in a moment: 【Where is this person? 】The portrait is a little distorted, but Ning An can still distinguish it: "Yan Changnian! Are you looking for him? He is with my brother. He should still be in Yunyin Village now, and he will arrive soon."

He didn't know anything about Yan Tao's relationship, he only knew that the two had a good friendship, and they never went back after leaving Yunyin Village, and now he thought that Yan Changnian had been staying in Yunyin Village.

So my name is Yan Changnian.The mute was thinking silently in his heart, and then asked: "Can you tell me something about him?" 】"Yan Changnian, he has a very good relationship with my brother. It seems that he was originally from S City. He is quite rich and nice... just like you." Ning An smiled and said, "I'm sorry that I was in Yunyin You don't stay in the village for long, so you know this. You will be in Yunyin Village in a few days, and you will be able to see him then."

"This man and my brother saved my life." Ning An said, "My brother is not my real brother, but if I had a real brother, I would definitely be inferior to him. My brother treats me very well."

[What's your brother's name? ] The mute wrote again.

"Eleven, but many people call him Jingming." Ning An said, "What are you doing with Yan Changnian? Are you his friend or relative? Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot that you have lost your memory."

"Jingming, Jingming..." The mute looked at the two words he had written on the paper and was lost in thought. He felt that this person should be the one he always wanted to remember, but why couldn't he remember what happened to this person at all? thing?Those things that he will never forget, and should never forget...

You can figure it out after you arrive at Yunyin Village.

But this face - the mute stretched out his hand to touch his own face, and his heart throbbed inexplicably. That person, like Ning An, would definitely not recognize him.

Ning An said that he has a very good relationship with Jing Ming, and that he has become like this, it is better not to let Jing Ming see him for the time being.

Nascent Soul was seriously injured, and his cultivation level was also reduced. It would take some time for him to recover from his injuries, but his desire to see Jingming was so urgent that he couldn't wait for a moment.

Qilong City.

The Qilongjiang Tiankeng still exists indifferently, but the river water flowing into the pit has become a trickle. The riverbed downstream is covered with various weeds and shrubs. Occasionally, various small animals come in and out of it. Radiation rats are the most numerous. Digging holes in the riverbed to store food, people can often be seen digging their caves with various tools at night, and they will plunder all their food storage, or if they are lucky, they can also take the cave owner into their pockets.

People regard food as their heaven, and animals also regard food as their heaven.

Humans have not been driven to a desperate situation, but the radiation rats have no way out, and some of them have begun to attack humans, using humans as one of their food sources.

People should be thankful that they often act independently, rather than attacking in groups.

The mute approached the tiankeng. He felt that he should have been here before, and he came here with Jingming.But this tiankeng is too big and deep, why did he come here with Jing Ming?He was completely unimpressed.At that time, he should not have the ability to enter inside...

Ning An and the others were waiting for him on the shore.

The mute didn't stay long, and soon left the Tiankeng.

The closer he got to Yunyin Village, the excitement and anxiety in his heart rose at the same time. The mute tore off the cloth to cover his head and face, and Ning An and Da Qiang looked at him.

[Don't scare the child. 】

Ning An understood it, and smiled for a moment: "It's rare that you are quite thoughtful. But Jing Ming and Yan Changnian will not look down on you, they are not people who judge people by their appearance."

The mute nodded, and shifted the cloth bag to his shoulder a little awkwardly.

Brother Wen was meditating, when he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining brightly: "There are Nascent Soul cultivators approaching the village! Su Jie, tell Eleven and them immediately, be careful!"

Daikin who stopped on the roof spread his wings, flapped his wings, and flew into the sky.

Eleven and Tao Xiulei stood in the courtyard, Eleven said, "It seems that there is someone Da Jin knows."

Brother Wen said in a deep voice: "Ning An is back! He brought three other people, and the Nascent Soul cultivator was also among them. This soul wave is somewhat familiar."

Dajin kept circling over the mountains, getting closer and closer to the village.

"Coming!"

The little girl hugged Ning Zizai in one hand, and supported his chubby feet in the other: "Baby, your father is back! Be happy! Come on, have a smile—"

Ning Zizai was lying on her shoulders, his short legs were bouncing on her hands, and he said "Dad" vaguely, laughing so much that his saliva dripped down, dripping on the little sister's clothes.He has teeth again, and he salivates a lot, and he likes to bite things very much. At this moment, he reaches out to grab the hairpin that the little sister holds her hair in place.

"It's right in front—the two-and-a-half-story building in the bamboo forest. Dajin is on the roof." Ning An pointed to the mute, "Someone came out! Did you see that, the one at the front is Jingming!"

The mute's breath was stagnant, and he looked at the man almost greedily. His appearance was very pleasing to the eye, his height, shortness, fatness and thinness were similar to what he had guessed, and his expression was not too much, but he knew that this man was not as indifferent as he appeared on the surface.If you ask him why he knows, he can't tell why.He just knew anyway.

The heart is beating wildly, it is the feeling of returning home from a wanderer.Eager yet timid.

The mute let out a long breath.

He held the elder in one breath, although there was no danger of suffocation, but it seemed that with this breath, all the depressed breath was exhaled.

Ning An looked at his son with some surprise. The first time he saw him, his skin was wrinkled and his face hadn't grown yet; when he took him out of that nightmarish laboratory, he was only a few months old, not even a year old; Now see you again after a while, he has grown into a very beautiful child, he is only over one year old, he can stand and run, he can laugh and dance, his eyes are very dark and bright, and he shows a few small teeth when he smiles, hey, he still bleeds Halazi!Eat fingers!

This is a bad habit, right?have to change!

Eleven took Ning Zizai from the younger sister and put it in Ning An's arms: "Hug him."

Ning An was at a loss, supporting his son awkwardly, his arm muscles were a little stiff.

It was the first time he hugged him when he left the laboratory, but at that time there was no extra energy to recollect his feelings. Now the child in his arms is soft and tender, small in size, with even smaller hands and feet. Compared with his own The rough hands are really fragile and pitiful.

Perhaps because he was wary of strangers, Ning Zizai twisted his body. Ning An was afraid that he would fall to the ground, and that he might hurt him with improper force, so he was about to be hugged by his little sister, but Ning Zizai stopped moving. Urine poured all over Ning An's head and face.

Everyone laughed so hard that the younger sister hurriedly took Ning Zizai with a smile. Ning Zizai washed his father's face with urine, and she also dripped a lot of urine on her body. The younger sister hugged him to scrub and change his clothes.

Ning Zizai wiped his face with his hands in embarrassment, Tao Xiulei scooped up some water to wash his face, Eleven smiled and said: "What are you washing! It's his son's urine, it should be washed, it's been half a year since he left! No wonder Your son does not recognize you, this is your punishment."

The little girl poured tea and washed the fruit, and Ning Zizai let her grandma hold her. Qiuqiu was not afraid to see strangers coming to the house, and struggled to move stools for them. The family used to be very lively, but now it is even more lively.

Ning An and the others were already thirsty, and the three of them drank a kettle full of tea in one go.

The dumb guy didn't speak or drink water, Ning An said to Eleven: "By the way, the dumb guy said he was looking for Brother Yan, why didn't he see him?"

"Who are you?" Received Wen Ge's warning in advance. In fact, Eleven has been paying attention to his every move since the appearance of the mute. Now that he heard that he was looking for Yan Changnian, he became excited.

"We met him by accident... He said he lost his memory, and asked people everywhere if he knew him, and asked me too... I looked like Brother Yan in that portrait... so he brought it here. Where is Brother Yan? ?" Ning An turned to look at the mute, "Mute, where's the piece of paper on your portrait? Show Jingming if it's Brother Yan!"

The mute sat on the chair with his back straight. Ning An asked him to take the portrait, but he hesitated. Ning An urged him, and he slowly took it out of his pocket.Ning An didn't notice what was wrong with him, but Eleven noticed and took the piece of paper.

The portrait is five or six points like Yan Changnian.

There are also words written by the mute on the paper, familiar handwriting, even if it is burned to ashes, he can still recognize it!

Eleven stood up suddenly, startling everyone.

"You come with me!"

After he finished speaking, he walked out the door until he walked into the bamboo forest.

The mute followed him, and the answer was about to be revealed. He was so nervous that his hands trembled slightly, so he could only clenched his hands and put them in his pockets.

Eleven turned around and was about to tear off the cloth on his face, but the mute quickly reached out to stop him, and Eleven shouted, "Let go!"

The two looked at each other.

The mute gritted his teeth, didn't move, let him go.

Under normal circumstances, Eleven would not use his spiritual sense, but because of Brother Wen's warning, he had already used his spiritual sense to perceive the dumb's appearance. At that time, he didn't have any special feelings, but now he knows that the dumb man is probably Yan Changnian, and then Seeing that almost completely disfigured face with his own eyes, all kinds of emotions in his heart completely surged.

"Is this what you used to be?" Eleven asked holding the piece of paper.

Dumb nodded.

"Amnesia?" Eleven asked again.

The mute was less direct this time, knowing that if their relationship was more than just friends, then the answer was likely to hurt the person badly.

He took the paper in Eleven's hand and wrote on it with a pen: [Sorry, I've been looking for people I know, and I'll try my best to get those memories back as soon as possible. 】【I feel that there is one person that I must never forget, he is very important to me, and that person is you, right?I think I have found him. 】They looked at each other.

Eleven looked at him, and said slowly, "And your parents, they also miss you and worry about you."
