After the group of people left, Chu Huai was no longer in a hurry to go out, but instead scanned the dormitory.

Wei Hu looked at him from behind, hesitated to speak several times.

Chu Huai opened the curtain, revealing the calendar hanging on the wall, Chu Huai's gaze paused.

Chu Huai took off the calendar. It was very small, about 15 centimeters in length and width, and it was extremely thin in the hand, the thickness of four or five sheets of paper, so it didn't weigh much.

Seeing Chu Huai's expression changed, Wei Hu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Come here." Chu Huai waved at him and said, "There are only twenty days in this calendar page, a total of..."

Chu Huai counted: "There are only five pages in total."

Wei Hu: "That's exactly one hundred days..."

"Yes," Chu Huai frowned slightly, "but look, on each page, the first ten days are marked in blue words, and the last ten days are marked in red words."

Chu Huai handed the calendar to Wei Hu, lost in thought: "What do you think this means?"

Wei Hu didn't speak, and obviously didn't have an answer.

Chu Huai said again: "The first day, the eleventh day, the twenty-first day, and so on. The dates for tax collection are all circled, and we ignored one point."

Wei Hu counted, understood what he meant, and was very surprised: "There are nine circles in total, one hundred days. We only need to pay taxes nine times, and the tenth time is the one hundred and one day..."

Chu Huai had already told him 50% of the information before. According to the calculation on the calendar, they only need to pay 45% within this hundred days, not 50% at all...

Chu Huai looked solemn: "So there must be an additional way for us to sell our memories."

Wei Hu nodded.

Chu Huai remembered what the woman said before she left, and a flash of light flashed in her mind: "I remember, the mating party seems to be on the eleventh day? That is to say, on the date in red?"

Blue and red represent Chu Huai is not clear at present, but he believes that he will know by the eleventh day.

The weather was extremely cold, there was no air-conditioning in the dormitory, and the broken glass windows let in the cold wind. Chu Huai slightly tightened the zipper of his clothes.

Chu Huai has always been afraid of the cold because of his health. Before, he didn't realize that the situation was imminent. Now that it's over, he secretly sighed that the temperature could really kill him.

Chu Huai poured a cup of hot water and brought it to the window.

Wei Hu stood there, staring at Chu Huai, hesitating in his heart.

Chu Huai took a sip of water, waited for a while, turned his back to him, and said calmly, "What do you want to say?"

Wei Hu was startled, his eyes were astonished.

Chu Huai put down the water glass, didn't look back at him, just pointed to the glass window in front of him, with a calm expression: "I can see it."

Chu Huai noticed that something was wrong with Wei Hu from a very early age, and saw him hesitating before, so he stayed for a while, waiting for him to say it himself.

Wei Hu never expected that Chu Huai would be so perceptive, and in that situation he still had the leisure to pay attention to his demeanor and manner. He was embarrassed, and said in his heart, "Just now that woman said that she can forget the bad memories of the past. At that time, you... didn't feel a little bit moved?"

After Wei Hu asked, he felt a little regretful. He felt that what he asked was completely nonsense, and he could even guess Chu Huai's answer - he was moved, but reason told me that I shouldn't do that.

Chu Huai shook his head and looked back at him.

Wei Hu met his sharp eyes, averted his eyes a little, and smiled at him awkwardly.

Chu Huai instantly understood that there was something Wei Hu desperately wanted to forget.

Chu Huai paused, and said word by word: "Memory is an objective thing for me. I don't suffer in reminiscence, so I don't need to forget accordingly. It doesn't have lethality to me now."

Wei Hu was stabbed, and he stood stiffly in place, smiled wryly for a long time and said, "How can you not miss it?"

Chu Huai stood up and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Wei Hu didn't have the desire to confide, and Chu Huai didn't bother to ask. He didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs and expose scars.

Chu Huai: "I'll go down for a stroll." Chu Huai asked women before that as long as they pay taxes, they have absolute freedom of movement within the next ten days and will not be restrained.

Wei Hu watched him leave blankly, feeling in a trance that there are really people who can live completely in the present without being constrained by the past or troubled by the future.

It was only after going downstairs that Chu Huai realized that there was an invisible barrier outside the dormitory blocking them in.

The sky was gray, and when I looked back, I could see dormitories with exactly the same shape. Chu Huai walked around roughly, and it took less than two hours to walk around the barrier and return to the original point.

Chu Huai stood where he was, with slight doubts in his heart.

Is this the whole picture of the city of memory?

He noticed before that there are 44 rooms on one floor of the dormitory, and a dormitory has four floors. That is to say, even if the dormitory building is full, a building can only accommodate up to 400 people. Roughly speaking, the number of people in a City of Memory will not exceed 10,000.

Or is there another world outside the barrier?

The layout inside the barrier is a bit like the capital of the Han Dynasty, and there are also East and West markets. Chu Huai inquired. The East Market is open on a single day, and the West Market is open on two days. It is divided by the central tax payment institution building. The dormitory buildings on the east can only go to the East Market, and those on the west can only go to the West Market.

Their dormitory is on the west side.

It seems that I have to go to the West Market tomorrow.

the second night.

The West Market in front of me is a bit like a ghost market in a ghost novel, the alleys are dark and gloomy, the cold wind blows, but there is an endless stream of people, almost to the point of rubbing shoulders.

Chu Huai wrapped his coat tightly, and walked on the street with Wei Hu.

Looking around, there are pedestrians all in gray.

Wei Hu was stunned for a moment: "It turns out that everyone lives in the same clothes, but what about eating and drinking..."

Chu Huai nodded, and said helplessly, "I feel like I'm in prison."

Wei Hu agrees.

Chu Huai paused: "...Actually, it's not appropriate to say that. I feel like a chicken. I was fed on time, and I was released from the cage regularly to exercise and eat pebbles to help digestion, and then I was put back into the cage at some point."

The market is only open for two hours, and that's all there is for them to do.

Chu Huai smiled lazily: "Tell me, what will happen if they are fed fat and sluggish? If they don't want to eat chickens, why should they raise chickens? It's a waste of feed and manpower."

Wei Hu heard it, and said puzzledly: "But those chickens lived well, until they died of old age, they didn't eat chicken..."

Chu Huai turned his head to look at him: "Because chickens lay eggs when they are alive."

Wei Hu was startled for a while, then smiled hesitantly, and said shyly, "You're talking about a hen, so what about us... a rooster..."

Chu Huai's face froze, regretting that he chose such a metaphor, and felt that Wei Hu's brain circuit was strange, so he could only bite the bullet and answer blankly: "Because a rooster can inseminate a hen, and then hatch chicks." .”

Wei Hu: "Then what is an egg?"

Chu Huai had a big head: "What is money?"

Wei Hu reacted very quickly: "Memory is money." What they pay taxes is memory, so memory is equivalent to money.

Chu Huai spread his hands: "The eggs are memories. As long as the chickens are alive, fed with feed, and cared for carefully, they will continue to lay eggs. Otherwise, you think we are penniless, what can we buy on the street? It's not an egg exchange. "

Wei Hu was ashamed of his stupidity, he was silent for a while, and said embarrassedly: "But aren't we roosters? How can we lay eggs... Shou|seed is..."

Chu Huai said angrily, "That's a metaphor!"

Chu Huai suddenly looked dazed after roaring, and remained silent for a while, standing motionless on the spot.

Wei Hu thought he had offended him, but just as he was about to apologize, Chu Huai suddenly raised his eyes, his expression sour: "You said that mating party, is it to make the hen suffer|bring chicks?"

Hearing the words, Wei Hu fell into an ice cellar for a moment.

There are shabby street stalls on both sides of the not-so-spacious street, some of which are deserted, while others are overcrowded.

Chu Huai gave Wei Hu a look, and suddenly grabbed a young and handsome guy in front of the booth, chatting in a tone: "Brother, we are new here, and I want to ask, what is the mating party for? We are a little nervous, afraid that there will be no Get ready to be laughed at."

The guy was enthusiastic and kind, with a longing look on his face: "You don't need to prepare anything, just go, it's really the most wonderful thing in the world, but unfortunately I'm not old enough, so I'm not allowed to go, or else... Sigh."

Chu Huai: "Age?"

Boy: "Yes, you can only go after 100 days."

Chu Huai's face suddenly turned ugly: "One hundred days?"

The boy didn't realize the change in Chu Huai's expression, he was still immersed in it: "Yeah, I'm only seventy-nine days old, and the next copulation|mating will be nine days later, so I can only participate in the one after twenty-nine days. My parents met at the party, it's great."

Chu Huai had restrained his expression, and asked tentatively, "So you are... the second generation of memory?"

The young man was quite proud: "Yes. New immigrants like you have to suffer, but for the sake of the next generation, the hardship is not for nothing. You will get used to it slowly."

Chu Huai lowered his eyelids.

He was wondering before that the more than 10,000 people in the City of Memory should not all be residents, but now he finally understands. Humans reproduce.

The second generation of memory only needs... 100 days from birth to adulthood, so the reproductive cycle may be... 20 days.

After Chu Huai thanked him, he dragged the shocked Wei Hu away, and asked with a smile, "How long does it take for a chicken to hatch a chick?"

Wei Hu was tongue-tied: "Two or twenty days?"

Chu Huai laughed again, intentionally scaring him, pointing to the crowd in front of him and the numb faces, speaking very slowly: "Tell me, are they really, all human?"

People don't reproduce once every twenty days and become adults in one hundred days.

Chatting and chatting, they had already reached the booth with the largest number of people, and a banner was drawn in front of the booth—Chunmeng Le Wuhen.

Vendor: "Selling **** dreams, young women ranging from 30 to 18 pure and lustful girls, only you can't think of, there is no dream that we can't create, detailed in appearance, body size, groan|groaning , as long as you ask, we can restore 100%!"

"A vigorous little wolf dog; a gentle and caring little milk dog; a domineering and gentle old man...we have everything we need." After speaking, the peddler raised his head and just met the tall and tall Chu Huai. He pointed at him and rushed to the crowd With a wicked smile, "We also have this one, but it's more expensive."

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Chu Huai with a dull face, feeling amazed.

The gray clothes and the gray sky seem to be the background board, the young man's face is fair and handsome, clear and tall, gentle and light, soaked in a bit of solitude, which is particularly eye-catching, making people yearn for it involuntarily .

Chu Huai: "..."

The girls blushed.

Chu Huai also blushed and lowered his head.

The peddler is still reading the slogan: "Do you have someone you can't ask for? Is there someone who won't look at you no matter how hard you try? Is there someone who can't catch up with everything?"

"Here, all dreams can come true. He will love you passionately, affectionately, and considerately. He will become your best lover."

"One-time purchase is valid forever. Think about it, every night, there is him." The hawker said ambiguously, and the people around showed a comprehension look, longing for it.

Only then did Chu Huai understand what was going on with the old man's roommate. He must have also bought the Spring Dream Companion here.

Hawker: "It's really not expensive. It's as low as 5%. If you ask for an increase, the price will be capped at 15%."

Everyone was still hesitating, a deep and pleasant voice sounded behind him: "I want one."

Hearing the familiar voice, Chu Huai's body froze, and he turned around immediately. Through his dark head, he met the tall and handsome man at the end of the crowd.

The peddler had no eyesight and was only thinking about business, so he hurriedly asked, "What do you want, the guest officer?!"

Jin Tianyi walked through the crowd and said with a smile, "I want one exactly like him."

Everyone's eyes followed his fingertips and fell on Chu Huai who was in front of him. After a while, someone coughed lightly in understanding.

They only dared to think about it in their hearts, but they didn't expect such a bold person to say it in front of their faces.

It's a pity that he is so handsome, but he likes men.

Chu Huai's eyes widened.

The peddler: "No problem, no problem!" As he said that, he was about to rush to make preparations.

Chu Huai became anxious, and blurted out: "Wait!"

He didn't want Jin Tianyi to hand over his memory.

The peddler was not happy: "Brother, what people do is their freedom. We can understand your psychological discomfort. After all, you are being sexually obscene, but listen to me and tell the truth, you look like this, I don’t know how many times I have been sexually obsessed since I was a child, and it’s true that one more time is not too much, and one less time is not much...so you should do your best and don’t delay our business.”

Chu Huai's ears were completely red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Enough."

Jin Tianyi smiled lowly, he didn't need to be obsessed with obscenity.

Jin Tianyi pretended to hesitate: "It's not necessary to do it."

Chu Huai looked up at him.

"It's just that I admire this little brother but can't ask for it, so I made this plan," Jin Tianyi smiled, "If he is willing to leave with me, what else do I want?"

There was an uproar around, and then there was a kind booing sound.

Wei Hu was used to Chu Huai's calm and indifferent demeanor, but he didn't expect him to blush in embarrassment, and found the novelty funny.

Chu Huai seemed to be stared at the ground, with his head buried and motionless, his mind out of focus.

admire?

How could he say such hypocritical words in such a shameless manner in public?

Chu Huai's fingertips trembled, hesitantly wanted to curse, he hesitated for a while and then realized that he suddenly seemed unable to speak, unable to utter a single word.

Jin Tianyi simply walked over, leaned closer and asked, "Little brother, do you think about it?"

"Are you so thin-skinned?"

"Just nod if you agree," Jin Tianyi smiled, "I will be yours from now on."

Jin Tianyi waited quietly.

With so many eyes watching and being teased like this, Wei Hu thought that Chu Huai was on the verge of explosion, and he had already thought of words to comfort and calm Chu Huai. After a long time, he saw Chu Huai nodded invisibly.

Wei Hu was stunned as if struck by lightning. Was this really the Chu Huai who questioned him coldly and sharply yesterday?

Jin Tianyi smiled, his gorgeous and deep pupils were full of joy and tenderness.

Chu Huai looked at him and smiled triumphantly, thought of the peacock who likes to show off for no reason, and dragged him out angrily.

What can't be said in private, it has to be like this?

Jin Tianyi leaned over and said in a surprised tone, "You're smiling."

Chu Huai seemed to be on fire, raised his head suddenly, and said angrily, "Which eye of yours saw me smile?"

"I was wrong." Jin Tianyi boldly stroked his hair and smoothed the tiger's hair.

Chu Huai snorted coldly.

Wei Hu also came out, and Chu Huai bounced away immediately.

Wei Hu joked, "Who is this?"

Chu Huai: "I don't know."

Jin Tianyi: "His husband."

in unison.

Chu Huai was embarrassed for a second, and said first: "Don't listen to him fart."

Wei Hu glanced at him narrowly.

"You can either be normal, or go aside." Chu Huai took a deep breath and turned to warn him.

Jin Tianyi nodded obediently.

The three of them started shopping.

"how did you find me?"

"I heard people say that an old man died in a dormitory building, and then they just mentioned that there was a disobedient newcomer named Chu Huai, who went to your dormitory to look for you, but found you were not there, I thought After that, you have no other place to go, so you are going to try your luck."

While chatting, Chu Huai suddenly realized that Wei Hu had disappeared.
