A dull thunder woke up Li Ernan from the nightmare. He opened his mouth wide and panted hard. After a long time, the fear and suffocation of being strangled in the dream gradually subsided.

He got up, took out a notebook from the crack at the head of the bed, and began to write today's memory diary with the light of the lightning flashes outside the window.

"Wednesday, June 10, 2020, night, thunderstorm.

I woke up again at 1:32 in the night. There was loud thunder outside the window, and there was heavy wind and rain. In my few remaining memories, I have vaguely seen similar scenes The

nightmare tonight was clearer than last time. It was still being strangled to death in the car, but I could hear the sound of the car radio broadcasting in my ears. It's a pity that the time was too short and I couldn't hear it clearly. I just remembered that it seemed to mention Red warning for rainstorm

...

I don't know what's the point of searching for lost memories so desperately, the feeling of dying is really bad, I don't think I can hold on any longer."

Suddenly, he stopped Pavilion, turn your ears to listen carefully to the sounds outside. Amidst the noise of a thunderstorm, familiar footsteps gradually approached the door, and he even heard a slight "click" sound when the fingertips of the visitor touched the doorknob.

The next second, the door was pushed open, and a tall man walked in, and asked anxiously, "Brother, are you okay? Did you have a nightmare again?"

Li Ernan seemed to be taken aback, hurriedly After closing the diary and stuffing the book under the quilt, he turned his head and said, "Why haven't you slept yet?" The

person who came was Tang Chen, Li Ernan's half-brother. During the period when Li Ernan had an accident and lost his memory, Tang Chen had been taking care of him.

Tang Chen sat by the bed, touched Li Ernan's sweat-drenched hair, and said distressedly: "Brother can't sleep well every thunderstorm, and I'm worried that you'll have nightmares again, so I come to accompany you." His palms were dry and warm , and when brushing the back of the head, it penetrated into the hair very naturally to massage Li Ernan's scalp.

Tang Chen's technique was gentle and the strength was moderate. Li Ernan should have felt comfortable, but in fact he shivered all over his body, his scalp was tight and his head was dizzy, as if he was wearing a hoop. He hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Tang Chen's hand, and said, "I'm fine, go back to sleep, don't you have to give lectures tomorrow, don't delay the business.

" Chen withdrew her hand, a flash of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but there was no difference in her words, she was still as gentle as before, even with a little pampering that made Li Er uneasy, "Brother's business is the real thing with me. "

Watching Tang Chen leave, and hearing that he had indeed returned to his room, Li Ernan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In just a few seconds of contact just now, a thick layer of goosebumps aroused on Li Ernan's arm. If Tang Chen stayed longer, he might faint on the spot due to both physical and psychological discomfort. .

Obviously the first person he saw after he lost his memory was Tang Chen. According to the psychological fledgling plot, he should be close to Tang Chen; moreover, just because of his mother's last wish, Tang Chen was able to treat him This brother of the opposite sex who had never met before and was almost indistinguishable from a stranger took good care of him, almost to the point of responding to every request, and he shouldn't reject this brother because of this. But for some reason, every time Tang Chen approached him or made some intimate gestures towards him, he would feel scared from the bottom of his heart. The better Tang Chen treated him, the stronger the urge to escape.

It may be that I was used to living alone before, and had no relatives or close friends, so that now I was at a loss when faced with other people's kindness, because I didn't know how to respond, so the first reaction was to run away.

Li Ernan thought he had figured out the reason for his previous actions, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty: Tang Chen was just a student. Although he had a scholarship and teaching assistant salary, it was considered to be some income, but he wanted to afford the living expenses of two grown men. The pin is still a little weak. Besides, he is a big man with hands and feet, so he can't always let his younger brother take care of him.

He made up his mind, opened the diary again, and wrote on a new page: "Many things have become difficult after amnesia, but I am an adult and an older brother, and I should take on the responsibility of supporting my family. Although because of In this accident, my younger brother didn't want me to go out to work, but I think he was a bit overprotective. After recuperating at home for a month, my body has recovered, and those occasional headaches will not affect my normal life. Action, I have learned some necessary common sense of life, and it should not be a problem to deal with some simple tasks. So, go out to find a job tomorrow, life is still going on, and I can't stand still."

After writing these, he felt relieved He let out a long sigh of relief and put the notebook back to its original position.

Lightning and thunder still thundered outside the window, and the storm showed no sign of stopping.

Li Ernan put the quilt over his head, and curled up sideways into a ball, trying to isolate the hustle and bustle of the outside world, but his overly sensitive hearing did not understand his troubles, and still absorbed all sounds indiscriminately, and sent them to him conscientiously. his brain.

He rolled around a couple of times in agitation, and finally resigned himself to lying flat on the bed, with big round eyes open and waiting for the dawn.

The drainage system in Yuwei District of Haishi City has always been bad. Under the overnight heavy rain, the water on the road surface can already be used by boats. Qian Erbai was trapped by the rain and didn't have time to rush back to his shack, so he had to make do with his dog wrapped in a military coat under the tunnel bridge all night.

The rain did not stop until noon the next day. Qian Erbai put on a military overcoat and walked out of the tunnel with a huge woven bag on his back. Lu Liuliu also had a few empty drink bottles strung together with ropes, and followed suit. followed behind Qian Erbai.

This one-person-one-dog look is really cool, even if pedestrians are busy returning home from get off work, they can't help but look at them a few more times when they see them.

Qian Erbai strode across the road without looking sideways, and walked towards the Shunxin Recycling Station where he is currently living.

Qian Erbai's identity this time is probably the most miserable one he has experienced since he started his mission.

When he just woke up, he saw himself nestled between two trash cans, with a pile of crushed soda cans scattered around him. Even though he was well-informed and calm, he couldn't help being stunned. After reading the original owner's life, he didn't know how to react for a moment, and he let out a long sigh.

The original owner's name is Shen Chenxin, and he was also a well-known young talent in the wealthy circle of Haishi in his early years. Although he is an orphan, his fate is not bad. He caught up with the good policies of the country and met noble people to help him. In addition, he has a bright mind and good grades. He was admitted to a good university in Haishi.

He is born to do business, and has a very keen sense of business. When other students are enjoying college life and doing some part-time jobs to experience life at most, he started futures business with bank loans. By the time he graduated, not only had he paid off the bank loan, but he had also saved a considerable amount of savings as the start-up capital for officially joining the business world.

After graduation, he first joined a leading company in Haishi. He started from sales, climbed up to the management level step by step, and finally became the CEO of the company's headquarters. At that time, he was only 31 years old, young and promising, and had a successful career. , Seeing that he has reached the pinnacle of his life, he submitted his resignation to the director and resolutely started his own entrepreneurial journey.

When he worked for his old club, he accumulated a lot of contacts and experience, which became the foundation of his business. After five years of hard work and management, his net worth has already exceeded one billion, and he once became the most popular young rich man in Haishi financial newspapers. In addition, he is handsome and clean, and he has been living in private tabloids all year round. Wang Laowu ranked first.

If he hadn't accepted the invitation to visit Orca Bay that time, he might have been at the top of wealth forever like all other business tycoons, becoming an idol in people's minds and a unit of measurement used to express commercial value.

Killer whales are large marine mammals that are very friendly. They are black and white and can be called giant pandas in the ocean. Although they have the nickname of "killer whales", in fact, there has never been a wild killer whale wounding a person in history. instance.

When the yacht sailed to Killer Whale Bay, dozens of big guys exposed their dorsal fins on the water, like Tang knives riding the wind and waves, majestic and awe-inspiring. These killer whales don't care about their status as the overlord of the ocean. Not only do they jump up one after another to look at the tourists on the boat, but they also spray water from the vent hole at the crowd from time to time, making long or short calls, like a group of happy outings middle school students.

Shen Chenxin fell in love with these lovely creatures at just one glance. In order to be able to get close to killer whales, he also obtained a diving certificate and a yacht driving license, and learned a lot of ocean-related knowledge. The more he researched, the more worried he became about the living conditions of killer whales and other marine life.

Of the 18 marine ecosystems in the country, including estuaries, bays, tidal wetlands, coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds, 14 are in a sub-healthy state, and one is in an unhealthy state. The problems of marine pollution and marine litter still cannot be ignored. , countless marine organisms have died from plastic products. When he was diving, he encountered a baby dolphin whose head was entangled in a plastic bag and asked him for help. He was even thrown a plastic bottle into the boat by a killer whale when he was practicing driving a motorboat.

Seeing the killer whale shaking its head and tail excitedly, and even urging him to throw the bottle to it again, as if it was just a fun game, he felt sad and guilty, and couldn't help but blush for his fellow human beings .

After that, he became obsessed with the cause of environmental protection like a demon, and even spent all his wealth to devote himself to public welfare, just to appeal to human beings to care about and protect the environment. He proposed to the Municipal Health Bureau to implement garbage classification, but was ridiculed by everyone.

Hai City's population of 20 million produces tons of garbage every day. The workload of the sanitation department alone is too great, and it is obviously an impossible task; and it is a joke to rely on everyone's conscious classification. It's not that there are no sorting trash bins on the street, but citizens would rather throw their trash on the side of the road than take two extra steps to throw it into the bin, let alone take part of their time to sort garbage.

Shen Chenxin's proposal was put on the shelf, but he did not give up. He even set an example by leading company staff to the streets to sort garbage, and distributed brochures, calling on citizens to join the ranks of environmental protection.

Shen Chenxin is a good business genius, but he is definitely not a suitable proponent. The publicity work has not been effective. At that time, someone suggested that he adopt a reward and punishment system to encourage public welfare. Business, you can't refuse it on the grounds of being too utilitarian.

The vigorous environmental protection cause persisted for less than two years, and there were only a few people left in the mighty team at the beginning, and Shen Chenxin also changed from a billionaire to a penniless loner. The only person who supported him couldn't keep going. Before leaving, he advised Shen Chenxin not to be obsessed with it anymore. It's a fool's dream to realize environmental protection, especially garbage sorting, through craftsmanship. Shen Chenxin just waved his hand at him silently, then buried his head and turned over the trash can again.

Now that he is forty years old, he has even saved a lot of money by picking up waste, but the waste sorting in Haishi is still missing, but he has become a complete joke. There is also a joke circulating on the Internet: He used to be a rich man, but later he started environmental protection. The accompanying picture is a waste picker carrying a pile of plastic bottles, walking on the street unkempt.

The person on the picture is naturally not him, but his image at this time is almost the same.

Entrepreneurs have become a thing of the past, while scavengers are Shen Chenxin's identity now and for a long time to come, even the rest of his life.

Qian Erbai actually admired Shen Chenxin a little, but his stubbornness to go all the way to the dark in a dead end could not be recognized by Qian Erbai. Supporting public welfare is a good thing, but you should do what you can . However, everyone's pursuit is different. Even if Shen Chenxin died of food poisoning while scavenging waste, but he died in the cause he has always adhered to, it may be considered a well-deserved death.

Qian Erbai rubbed his phantom pain stomach, got up from the ground, picked up the spilled soda cans while there was no one on the street, put them into a woven bag, and left there quickly. The smell of the trash can in summer is really bad, and he might vomit if he stays any longer.

Shen Chenxin had saved 2,000 yuan before his death, and originally planned to donate it to the Environmental Protection Association, but now he obviously couldn't afford enough to eat, so Qian Erbai spent it on himself unceremoniously, thinking that he would save it up in the future Donate again in order to fulfill the original owner's last long-cherished wish.

The original owner has always lived in no fixed place, and the most frequent place to spend the night is the theater in the Central Park. At 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, he spread out the cardboard clothes and squatted overnight, and he had to vacate the nest at five or six o'clock in the morning. It's time for the old man who does morning exercises to drive away. Qian Erbai went to have a look at the theater, there was wind in all directions, it was cold in winter and hot in summer, it was not a good place at all. On the contrary, there seemed to be two small houses built of bricks in the Shunxin Recycling Station that the original owner often visited. If the boss could be persuaded to rent the place to him, then he would have a shelter in the wind and rain.

The proprietress of the recycle bin is very nice. In the past, seeing the original owner alone, she took good care of him, and sometimes brought him some meals for him to take away.

After listening to Qian Erbai's thoughts, the proprietress immediately made a decision: "Brother, you can live here. It's just two small brick houses. We don't need them at ordinary times. We don't want to rent or not, and my sister-in-law doesn't." I'm short of this little money." She even helped him tidy up the house, and asked her man to help build a bed board, and brought mosquito coils and a quilt at night, saying, "If you need anything, just mention it, sister-in-law It can't help much, but food and clothing can still be managed."

Qian Erbai was very moved, but he had to pay the rent no matter what. The final negotiation result was that Qian Erbai paid the recycle station ten yuan rent every month, and the recycle station took care of Qian Erbai's three meals a day, water and electricity for heating. It's almost no different from a recycle bin keeping an idler for nothing.

The owner of the recycle bin joked once: "If you weren't skinny and not as attractive as your brother, I would wonder if your sister-in-law has taken a fancy to you. This guy is not so considerate to me." Qian Er Bai could only pretend to be silly and smiled, but he became more determined in his heart - until he found a more suitable place to live, he must not let go of this dirty disguise.

It has been a month since Qian Erbai came to this world, and Shen Chenxin has adapted to the life of scavenging with ease. Compared with the thrilling world of the last one, this world is not only a little bit dirty, but at least there is no danger of life, exaggeration To put it bluntly, it can even be called "the years are quiet and good". But Qian Erbai still couldn't feel at ease.

Since entering the world, Xia Changdian has lost his whereabouts, and the energy fluctuations of him and 741 have not been found in the entire sea city, as if they were stranded in a space-time tunnel. Fortunately, the dotted portrait on the family certificate is still on, at least it proves that his life is safe now, which can be regarded as the best news that can be obtained in misfortune.

Facing the fact that Xia Changdian lost contact again, Qian Erbai was once again passive. He couldn't help regretting that he rejected the proposal of the headquarters to engrave in Diandian's sea of ​​consciousness in order to respect Diandian's personal freedom. Shaking his head, the regrets of the past are useless even if he regrets, it is better to focus on the present, as long as Diandian is still in this world, he will definitely be able to find each other, and then, no accidents will be allowed to separate the two of them.

He was thinking about his thoughts with a sullen face, and before he knew it, he had reached the door of the recycling station, but saw a police car parked at the door. Neighbors in the neighborhood whispered around the car not too far away, seeing Qian Erbai came back with a big bag on his back, the conversation stopped suddenly, and they looked at him with some scrutiny and dodge in their eyes. Qian Erbai was a little strange, what happened? Lu Liuliu didn't like these people pointing at its host, so he bared his white teeth and barked at the crowd twice.

The proprietress's son was playing in the yard, and when he heard the dog barking, he ran out to look, and saw that the big uncle at home had come back, so he hurried over and pushed him outside, whispering, "Uncle Shen, run quickly, take Run with Liuliu! The police are here to arrest you!"

Qian Erbai was confused, and subconsciously followed him for two steps. The enthusiastic crowd saw that the suspect was about to run away, and they didn't care about the dog about to bite. He came up to stop him, still yelling: "Come on, the murderer is about to abscond!"

The
