Start with a photographic memory and build a memory palace

Chapter 33 Real Dream
……

at dusk.

Wu Wen left the Eastern Palace.

When approaching the residence.

He saw from afar that at the door, Yang Ergou was having an intense conversation with someone.

Stop and watch.

Wu Wen was not unfamiliar with the man who was talking to Yang Ergou. It was Ji Junxian, who had sold himself into slavery together with Yang Ergou in Yanzuofang.

In fact, since the second day after Yang Ergou arrived, Wu Wen noticed that Ji Junxian often lingered near his home.

Yang Ergou would occasionally secretly give him some food, but he was always very careful because he was afraid that Wu Wen would find out.

However, Wu Wen already knew all this, but chose to remain silent.

In his observation, the brotherhood between Yang Ergou and Ji Junxian should be real.

Wu Wen did not have much aversion to Ji Junxian. He just did not accept him because he thought his name would cause trouble.

Wu Wen continued to move forward.

Until they were noticed by two people.

Seeing this, Ji Junxian at the door immediately ran away in a hurry.

Yang Ergou came forward a little nervously: "Master, you're back!"

He hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Wu Wen raising his hand.

Enter the house.

Wu Wen sat down and his eyes fell on Yang Ergou, who knew he had made a mistake and lowered his head.

"Ergou, do you still remember our original agreement?" Wu Wen asked.

"What agreement?" Yang Ergou looked confused.

Wu Wen stood up, took out Yang Ergou's indenture from the house, and spread it out in front of him:

"I said that as long as you help me complete the experiment, I will give you freedom. Today is the day to fulfill my promise."

When Yang Ergou heard this, he mistakenly thought that Wu Wen wanted to chase him away, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Master, I know I was wrong, please don't chase me away."

Wu Wen shook his head slightly and said earnestly: "I don't want to drive you away, but to give you back your freedom."

He looked up and down at Yang Ergou's strong and burly body.

“A true man stands between heaven and earth. Even if he cannot achieve great things, he should be an upright person.

In your current situation, you don't have to stay here as a slave to me anymore."

Hearing this, Yang Ergou couldn't help but burst into tears, and choked up and said, "Young Master..."

"Go!"

Wu Wen put the indenture contract and half a dollar in his hand, which was enough for him to live on until he found a job.

"Sir, I'm leaving!"

Seeing the determination in Wu Wen's eyes, Yang Ergou kowtowed three times before standing up. Holding the indenture and half a dollar in his hand, he turned around and left reluctantly.

Just as he went out and turned the corner.

I met Ji Junxian who was here.

Seeing the lost look on Yang Ergou's face, Ji Junxian walked up to him and asked with concern: "Ergou, what's wrong with you? Your master didn't say anything just now, did he?"

"The young master asked me to go." Yang Ergou responded in a low voice.

"What?" Ji Junxian's voice suddenly rose, and then he sighed, "Alas, it's all my fault. I got you into trouble."

"However, your master is too petty. He kicked you out just because of such a small matter." Ji Junxian said indignantly.

"You can't say that, young master!" Upon hearing this, Yang Ergou suddenly retorted emotionally.

He opened his palm, and inside was the indenture contract and the half dollar.

Yang Ergou repeated to Ji Junxian what Wu Wen had said to him.

"Mr. Wu is truly a gentleman." Upon hearing this, Ji Junxian nodded slightly in admiration.

"Ergou, what are you going to do next?" Ji Junxian asked with concern.

Yang Ergou clenched his fists again and said with a firm expression: "Since the young master asked me not to be inferior to others, I will go and make some achievements, and then come back to find him."

"it is good!"

Ji Junxian nodded appreciatively.

"That's what a real man should do." "Ergou, there's a chance right now."

There was a gleam in Ji Junxian's eyes.

"Liu Heita of Hebei is in rebellion, and the imperial court is recruiting soldiers. Why don't we join the army together and fight for a rich and prosperous future."

"Well, it's up to you!"

Yang Ergou, who was full of enthusiasm but had no clear goal, immediately followed Ji Junxian's advice.

The two smiled at each other, as if they had already seen the glory of the future.

The two walked side by side into the distance.

"Er Gou, you need to change your name. Yang Er Gou, this name is really ugly. If you become a general in the future, you won't let your soldiers call you General Er Gou, right?"

"The Master also said that he had given me another name, but I was not used to it, so I did not change it."

"Oh? What's the name you changed it to?"

"My name is Yang Erlang."

"Master said that my name was chosen by my parents, and any other name would be bad, so I changed the word 'dog' to 'wolf'!"

"Wolf, Yang Erlang! The name sounds better, but I think the word 'wolf' is a bit bad. Why don't you change it to 'lang' and call yourself Yang Erlang, Erlang Erlang, how nice."

"No, I'll just use the characters that you changed for me!"

"OK then!"

"Yang Erlang!"

—

With Yang Ergou's departure, Wu Wen's originally small house suddenly became much more spacious and quiet.

Wu Wen asked Yang Ergou to leave, not only because he didn't want to delay his future, but also because he needed to replace the experimental subject with a new one.

Experimental data requires diversity, so that the authenticity of experimental information can be judged more accurately from different angles and levels.

Tomorrow, I will go to Yanzuofang to find someone again.

The conditions for finding people this time are very simple. They just need to be ordinary people. There is no need for special talents like Yang Ergou.

The reason why we looked for special cases like Yang Ergou at the beginning is because we need to start with special cases in the early stages of the experiment.

Once the experiment achieves a breakthrough and progress, we can move from the special case to the general situation.

After Wu Wen finished washing up, he lay down on the bed to rest.

Close your eyes and let the silence of the night fall.

Just as he fell into a deep sleep, a dream suddenly appeared in his mind, and it was a nightmare.

In his dream, he was in the long alley of the East Palace, walking forward step by step, but it seemed as if he would never reach the end.

Looking around, it was extremely quiet, without even the sound of wind or insects.

Looking up at the sky, I saw only darkness without any sunlight coming through.

The further Wu Wen walked, the more uneasy he felt, and a trace of fear began to quietly spread in his heart.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the end of the alley.

That was a corner.

Just as he turned, a tall figure suddenly appeared before him.

Wrapped tightly in a black robe.

What was hidden under the brim of the hat was not a human face, but a deep, dark vortex.

At this moment, a huge fear surged into Wu Wen's heart like a tide, and his consciousness became extremely clear in an instant.

"I am dreaming, I am dreaming! Wake up, wake up!"

Suddenly, he sat up from the bed, gasping for breath.

Looking up and out the window, the morning sun has already quietly fallen.

He felt a little cool and touched his body, and found that this nightmare had actually made him break out in a cold sweat.
