...But this is unreasonable.
Even if you think about it in the most extreme direction, Xiao Xiaoxiao has never left Linhai Town before going to college, that is, she has never taken the bus with the driver before that, but at least she will always take it on the day she goes to college. That car?
What's more, Xiao Xiaoxiao went back once before during the National Day. It took at least two rides back and forth, and at least three encounters. It is impossible for the driver to have no impression of her at all.
Han Zhou remembered that the driver said that he was specifically responsible for the line in Linhai Town. He made one trip in the morning, noon and evening, and never changed shifts with others. He had been working for several years.
In addition, Xiao Xiaoxiao also mentioned more than once that it was the only bus that ran between Linhai Town and Beicheng, otherwise they would not have had to catch the bus early in the morning.
Therefore, there was no situation where Xiao Xiaoxiao encountered other drivers when he got in the car.
So...why didn't the driver remember Xiao Xiaoxiao?
Assuming this is some kind of "memory erasure" method, if the driver does not remember Xiao Xiaoxiao, will Xiao Xiaoxiao still remember the driver?
Is this just a casual misunderstanding, or is there some unknown reason?
Is it simply forgetting, or is there something similar to human interference?
Many doubts arose in Han Zhou's heart, and he suddenly thought of another point worth paying attention to -
The driver didn't know that there was a place called Jianyan Village near Linhai Town.
But you must know that as a veteran driver who has been traveling between Beicheng and Linhai Town for many years, he should be familiar with most of the areas around Linhai Town. However, he is completely unaware of the existence of Jianyan Village.
This is actually not very strange. After all, even for an experienced driver, it is normal for him to have never heard of some remote place names, but if it is connected with the fact that he does not remember Xiao Xiaoxiao, it seems a bit suspicious. .
Could this be the impact of "forgetting" Xiao Xiaoxiao?
Han Zhou told Noila Mo about this suspicion, and the latter said without hesitation: "Instead of spending time thinking, it is better to ask the person involved directly."
The person she was referring to was not the driver, but Xiao Xiaoxiao. It was very important whether Xiao Xiaoxiao still remembered the driver.
"I think so too."
Han Zhou immediately picked up his cell phone and called Xiao Xiaoxiao. However, he quickly frowned, looked at the screen and said, "No signal at this time?"
Noila Mo was searching for information about Jianyan Village on the Internet. She also saw an error message on the web page. There was no signal on her mobile phone. She looked up and looked out the window. Although the window was blocked by curtains, it was not difficult to escape from the heavy rain. From the sound, I learned how heavy the rain was outside.
But this is not a snow-capped mountain far away from human habitation. Even if it rains harder, there should be no signal for mobile phones.
She felt something was wrong.
Han Zhou also felt that something was wrong, so he walked up to the people playing cards and asked, "Can you see if your mobile phones have signals?"
This question was asked by Zhong Ling and Wang Lengqiu. After all, Ouyang Lianyu and Zhang Xinyue's mobile phones could not be turned on.
Zhong Ling immediately put down the cards in her hand, took out the mobile phone in the small cloth bag next to her, looked at it, and then shook her head in confusion, as if she felt a little strange.
"No, not a single bar of signal."
Wang Lengqiu took out his cell phone silently and shook his head as well.
Noila Mo glanced at her thoughtfully. Although this girl was not completely boring, she only fully responded to Han Zhou's words.
Zhang Xinyue wondered: "Why, all your mobile phones have no signal?"
"Ah."
Han Zhou looked a little distracted.
"Is there any problem?" Ouyang Lianyu saw the worry in his eyebrows and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just feel like I forgot something important."
Han Zhou smiled and shook his head and said, "You guys can continue playing. Yixia and I still have something to say."
After saying that, he and Noila Mo returned to the door again.
"How disgusting..."
Zhang Xinyue muttered, then turned her attention back to the card game, and said proudly, "Come on, come on, keep on going, who of you can afford my three aces?"
After the words fell, Wang Lengqiu silently played three twos.
The air becomes quiet.
This girl must be poisonous...
Zhang Xinyue looked depressed.
Han Zhou walked to the door and thought hard for nearly a minute, but he still couldn't remember what he had forgotten.
This is abnormal. You must know that he now has a photographic memory. Recalling the past is like flipping through a book. As long as you are patient enough, it is impossible to miss anything that happened.
...Unless the incident is erased from memory.
He reacted immediately and said eagerly: "Yixia, I seem to be able to almost remember what happened that night during the live broadcast."
Mo Yixia glanced at him and said calmly: "If you want me to use hypnosis to help you retrieve your memory, then I'm sorry that I can't do anything. I don't know how to hypnotize you."
"It's rare that there is something you don't know how to do." Han Zhou smiled bitterly and quickly calmed down, "But it doesn't matter, don't worry, I can always remember it."
He was not in a hurry, thought for a while and continued, "By the way, I want you to help me analyze a sentence, 'The end of remembering is forgetting' - what do you think of this sentence?"
"Is it important?" Mo Yixia looked into his eyes.
"It's very important, and it should be related to Xiao Xiaoxiao's matter, but I can't tell you the origin of this sentence for the time being." Han Zhou looked at her seriously.
"I understand." Noila Mo nodded slightly, "You continue."
Han Zhou first continued to talk about the experience of going to Jianyan Village, and then told Mo Yixia the prompt he saw on the "Mysterious Tips Bag"——
"The end of remembering is forgetting."
"Go back to your former home and search patiently. You may be able to find something that does not exist in your memory."
“If you can’t find anything, you can ask others for some help.”
"If you still get nothing, it is recommended to put this matter behind you and live your current life."
"The end of remembering is forgetting, and the end of forgetting is remembering."
Noila Mo fell into thinking.
About half a minute later, she shook her head slightly: "Without knowing the cause and effect, I can't judge the specific meaning of this sentence unless we find more clues. But you should also be able to see that these contents are reminders. ...No, I'm warning you."
Her tone became unusually solemn.
Han Zhou was silent for a moment and said, "I know that these contents are telling me that once I start looking for the truth about this matter, I may lose my current life."
"But you still want to find it." Mo Yixia easily saw his thoughts as usual.
"Yes, my intuition tells me that I don't want to forget this." Han Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief and said frankly, "But I will prepare in advance. I don't want to lose my current life."
He has a status bar that can save him from even the worst situations.
Of course, the premise is that you have enough points.
Mo Yixia was noncommittal, thought for a while and reminded: "Maybe forgetting is a good thing for you. After all, as you just said, 'The end of remembering is forgetting, and the end of forgetting is remembering'."
She looked at Han Zhou's face, and there was no emotion or anger in her tone, "Maybe in your current state, you really remember the thing you forgot, and trying to remember it is a kind of real forgetfulness. "
"Is this your interpretation?" Han Zhou looked at her curiously.
"one of them."
Han Zhou hesitated for a moment and asked with some uncertainty: "Don't you think I should go find the truth about this matter?"
Mo Yixia thought for a moment: "Growing up, exploring the unknown has never been an interesting thing to me, and it remains the same until now, so to be honest, I don't really like to find the so-called truth."
"I guess there is a 'but' at the end." Han Zhou tried.
"There is no 'but', but there is a 'however'."
Mo Yixia glanced at him, "But...if this is what you expect, then exploring the truth might not be an interesting thing."
There seems to be no difference between "but" and "but"...
Han Zhou smiled: "I knew you would help me."
"After all, I am also very curious about the relationship between you and the girl named Xiao Xiaoxiao." Noila Mo lifted the hair from her ears and added unhurriedly.
Han Zhou hesitated for a moment: "Although I don't remember, I think there should be innocence between us..."
"Did I say you weren't clear?"
"That's not what I meant..."
"It goes without saying."
Noila Mo interrupted her, "Since you have made up your mind to find the truth, it's time for me to tell you the thing you forgot--"
"Go and see what's in your inside coat pocket."
Han Zhou was stunned, and the feeling of remembering something became stronger in his mind. He quickly walked into the cloakroom, found his wet coat, and took out two small, slightly cold objects from the inner pocket of the coat——
It was a pair of silver-white rose earrings.

Chapter 321 Late Autumn Sunshine
"Han Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
In November, the breath of late autumn gradually fades away, but this year's winter seems to be in no hurry. The sun is still shining brightly, dispelling the little chill in the city.
If it weren't for the withered yellow leaves all over the ground, perhaps no one would have noticed that it was autumn that was about to enter winter.
"nothing."
Han Zhou came back from his trance, raised his hand to sweep away the fallen leaves that had fallen on his head at some point, and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep last night. I feel a little tired."
"It's strange, I feel the same way..."
The short-haired girl next to her took a big bite of the ice cream, and then added vaguely, "But I'm just a little sleepy, and I'm definitely more energetic than you."
There is even a competition to see who is more energetic. I can only say that it is the guzheng... Han Zhou nodded perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you are the most powerful."
"Why do I feel like you are so unconvinced?"
Gu Zheng turned to look at him suspiciously, her cheeks bulging like a squirrel collecting food for winter.
Han Zhou had actually wanted to study the structure of this guy's mouth a long time ago. No matter what kind of food it was, whether it was cold or hot, this guy could stuff it all into his mouth, and he didn't know if it was packed inside. a temperature regulator.
