Yan Shiba Who Lost His Memory
Beijing.
A few days before Yan Shiba was sent to Beijing, Su Liang received news from Hu Er's people.
It was indeed Yan Shiba, but it was also a trap.
Su Liang told Qiu Cong that Qiu Jing pretended to be Gu Ling and was captured by Sheng Yue.
Qiu Cong frowned, "That's right. If Xiao Gu was captured, Jing'er might not be able to save him." But Qiu Jing was captured, and Qiu Cong believed that Gu Ling would definitely find a way to rescue him.
"I don't know where they are now, I hope they are okay." Su Liang sighed lightly. Things can't be said to be very bad, but they are definitely not good. After all, they are still a little passive. In particular, there is still no news about Lao Mu and Cen Man so far. They may have been controlled by the people on Xingluo Island.
More and more people are being captured. Once the other party starts using hostages, things will become more difficult.
"It must have gone to the south." Qiu Cong said, "If Jing'er is not exposed, it is also possible that Xiao Gu followed them to Xingluo Island."
It is indeed possible, but Su Liang thinks it is unlikely. Gu Ling knew the route to Xingluo Island. If he wanted to go, he didn't have to follow Sheng Yue. It was difficult to track him at sea, and the ship was not invisible.
Therefore, Su Liang thought it was most likely that Gu Ling would take action before Sheng Yue took Qiu Jing out to sea. It was far away from Sujia Village, so there was no need to worry about relatives and friends being caught again. Finding a suitable place to rescue Qiu Jing was not easy to deal with Sheng Yue who brought several masters, but as long as he could get rid of his men, he would probably choose to go back to Xingluo Island first. Because his biggest advantage was that he was immune to all poisons, but the use of this ability was also limited, especially when the other party knew about it and was on guard. In addition, Sheng Yue had little chance of winning against Gu Ling and Qiu Jing.
"They went out together, and they will definitely come back together. I'm not worried about that!" Qiu Cong didn't know whether he was comforting Su Liang or comforting himself. Of course, he was still a little worried about Qiu Jing being caught, but at the same time he was very confident that Gu Ling could rescue Qiu Jing.
Ji Xiaoshu ran in and said that his father would leave for the north tomorrow to do business, and he would stay at the Yanwang Mansion tonight.
"Go." Su Liang rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's little head.
Ji Xiaoshu ran upstairs, hugged his little pillow and ran down again, "I will come back after my father leaves!" At the door, he turned around and asked Su Liang, "Master, when will Master come back?"
Since Gu Ling left for three days, Ji Xiaoshu asked almost every day.
Su Liang smiled, "It will take a few more days."
"Okay, don't tell Master that I miss him very much!" Ji Xiaoshu said and ran out with a smile.
...
Yan Shiba was sent to the capital by Hu Er's men. He didn't walk very fast. On the day he arrived in the capital, Su Liang also received a letter from Jiaye City.
The envelope was blank. Su Liang opened it and saw Gu Ling's handwriting, and he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was still a little worried.
Gu Ling talked about what happened and what he planned to do next. The former is similar to what Su Liang guessed, but Su Liang didn't guess the latter, but it happened to be the solution to the problem she had been thinking about recently: save people first, and don't delay any longer. If they wait any longer, more and more people will be captured, and they will only become more and more passive.
Therefore, although Su Liang really hopes that Gu Ling will go home early, she absolutely agrees and supports his decision. If it were her, she would do the same.
Qiu Cong learned that Gu Ling had rescued Qiu Jing and the two led troops to blow up the star island, and couldn't help laughing, "I knew it! Then wait for their good news!"
Su Liang felt that what Gu Ling was going to do was not easy to achieve, but there was hope to change the situation.
There was also good news in the letter. Yan Yu was pregnant, and she and Nian Jincheng were on their way back to the capital.
At the end of the letter, Gu Ling drew a very cute smiley face expression. Su Liang smiled when she saw it, and felt that the recent thoughts, worries, and concerns were all dissipated by this smile.
That afternoon, a carriage entered the Su Mansion, and Yan Shiba arrived.
Yan Shiba had already woken up on the way, and he didn't look much better than when he was in Sujia Village.
Su Liang asked Qi Yan to invite the people arranged by Hu Er to escort and take care of Yan Shiba to stay in the inn for one night and leave tomorrow.
Yan Shiba was arranged to live in Nangong Qian's yard. The basket of dried beans and dried mushrooms that the Bai family gave to Su Liang were still in good condition, and there were also beautiful tiger-head shoes made by Aunt Bai for Gu Xiaonuan. Su Liang put them on Gu Xiaonuan as soon as he got them. They were a little big, but they had laces and could be worn for two years.
The letter that Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi wrote to Su Liang was on Gu Ling before, and it was delivered with Gu Ling's letter this morning. Su Liang had already read it.
Yan Shiba was not awake when she entered the mansion. Su Liang carefully checked her physical condition and asked Qiuyue to help take care of her and call her immediately when she woke up.
Then Su Liang asked Qi Yan to prepare some things to return gifts to Hu Er and the Bai family. Hu Er was given some tonics prepared by Su Liang, and the Bai family was given some clothing, leather, tea, and four treasures of the study for Xiaohu and Zhuzi. Su Liang also wrote back to the two children, encouraging them to study hard and keep exercising, and she would return to the village when she had the chance. The letter and things were asked to be taken back by the people from Bei'an County tomorrow, so as to save the trouble of sending them separately.
At this moment, Qiuyue came to Yuanming Pavilion to tell Su Liang that Yan Shiba had opened her eyes.
"Did she say anything?" Su Liang asked as he walked.
Qiuyue shook her head, "I told Miss Yan that this is the Su Mansion, but she didn't react."
Su Liang felt something was wrong. Could it be that Yan Shiba had not recovered from the disaster? Otherwise, with her original character, she would definitely mention Su Liang.
When Su Liang entered the room, Nangong Qian had just fed Yan Shiba half a cup of warm water.
Seeing Su Liang coming over, Nangong Qian pulled her and whispered, "She seems to have lost her memory."
Su Liang frowned and asked Nangong Qian and Qiuyue to go back first. She walked to the bed and saw Yan Shiba's pale and weak face. He looked at her with a strange look and a bit of vigilance.
Although she was a killer leader who was once feared by everyone, Yan Shiba's appearance did not match her identity and name. She had a round face with soft contours and her facial features were soft and dull. If you don't look at her eyes, you can't see any sharpness. At this time, Yan Shiba's chin became pointed because of weight loss, but her eyes faded from the sharpness they once had, and she looked even weaker. If someone who didn't know her saw her for the first time, it would be impossible to associate her with the word "killer".
"Don't you recognize me?" Su Liang asked. The people arranged by Hu Er said that although Yan Shiba woke up on the way, she didn't speak, and they didn't ask much.
Yan Shiba pursed her bloodless lips and did not answer.
"Then do you know who you are?" Su Liang asked again.
Yan Shiba spoke after a while, her voice hoarse, "I can't remember."
Su Liang had checked Yan Shiba's injuries, and there was a healed scar on the back of her head. Su Liang had saved Yan Shiba more than once, and knew that she had old injuries, and this time there were many more scars. Under her clothes, on her chest and back, there was no good skin, and her left breast was cut off.
If it was really Yan Shiqi who did it, it was enough to see how much he hated her.
Su Liang did not want to comment on the grievances and hatreds between Yan Shiba and Yan Shiqi. If she had to say it, the cause of the incident was indeed Yan Shiba's fault. She knew that Yan Shiqi loved her, but she did not accept or refuse, and she treated Yan Shiqi as a slave, or even as her dog. These were the original words Yan Shiba said.
Sins will be repaid sooner or later.
Su Liang always knew that Yan Shiba was not a good person, but the relationship between them had nothing to do with Yan Shiqi. Yan Shiba had wronged Yan Shiqi before, but that doesn't mean Yan Shiqi is a good person.
Su Liang wanted to save Yan Shiba because Yan Shiba owed her and helped her sincerely. They are friends.
The last time they met was in Xiangyue City of Yuanyan State. At that time, Gu Ling was captured by Qiu Cong and Nangong Lin. Su Liang was alone looking for help. Yan Shiba happened to be nearby and helped her without hesitation. At that time, Su Liang had a serious talk with Yan Shiba and asked her to quit her crimes, be a normal person, and live a good life. Yan Shiba had not made up her mind at that time, but she was a little hesitant and said that she would think about it carefully before talking to Su Liang.
The last time Yan Shiba and the couple met before this was when Su Liang was captured. Gu Ling asked Yan Shiba to take people to find trouble with Situ Xie, and she also rushed all the way to Yaocheng of Yuanliang State.
Thinking of the past, and looking at Yan Shiba's current appearance, Su Liang couldn't help but sigh, "My name is Su Liang, I'm your friend, and your name is Yan Shiba. Take good care of your injuries first. It's not a bad thing to forget the past."
"Can my memory... be restored..." Yan Shiba looked at Su Liang and asked in a low voice.
Su Liang checked the scar on the back of Yan Shiba's head again, and could see that the injury was very serious at the time. She shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. Maybe one day it will suddenly recover, or maybe it will never recover in a lifetime. The injury is in the brain, you can't rashly use your brain to restore your memory, it's too dangerous."
"Where is my home?" Yan Shiba asked Su Liang.
Su Liang was silent for a moment. Home? Yan Shiba has nothing to do with this word.
"This will be your home in the future." Su Liang said to Yan Shiba.
Qiuyue brought the boiled medicine and fed Yan Shiba to drink it.
Su Liang left and returned to Yuanming Pavilion. He saw that there were guests. It was Madam Lin and Lin Shan. They often came to the mansion to see the children, and there was no need to say hello in advance.
Lin Shan made a colorful hydrangea for Gu Xiaonuan, and was holding her to tease her.
When Su Liang saw Lin Shan smiling, he suddenly remembered that when he first met Lin Shan in Jiaye City, she also lost her memory due to injury. However, it was later proved that she was indeed injured and lost her memory, but her memory loss was not caused by the injury, but because she had glimpsed the enemy's secrets, and she couldn't let her die, so she took a drug that could cause amnesia, and then deliberately injured her brain, creating an illusion that she was accidentally injured and caused amnesia...
The human brain is very complex and fragile. Amnesia is an accidental event. In this era without medical equipment, no matter how good a doctor is, he can't determine the situation inside the brain by taking the pulse, and it is even more impossible to perform a similar craniotomy.
The reason why he thought of this when he saw Lin Shan was because Su Liang had just seen Yan Shiba, who had lost his memory due to brain injury.
Given that the past experience and lessons were right in front of him, Su Liang had a thought in his mind at this time: Did Yan Shiba really lose his memory due to injury? Or was it like Lin Shan back then, who learned some secrets and had his memory deliberately erased?
As a doctor, Su Liang knew very well that brain injury and amnesia were not necessarily causally related. Most people's brain injuries do not lead to amnesia, but if you are not careful, it will cause people to die. It is impossible to achieve the effect of accurately erasing memories by injuring a person's brain with external force. This kind of consequence can only happen by chance.
But Su Liang did not find any residual poison in Yan Shiba's body. However, when Lin Shan was given drugs to erase her memory, it was not a poison that could remain in the body forever, and it was irreversible and could not be restored.
Su Liang thought that she might have thought too much. With Yan Shiba's physical condition, she was already injured like that. It was possible that she was injured anywhere. It was not strange that she lost her memory when her brain was injured.
Mrs. Lin greeted Su Liang, and she temporarily put aside her thoughts and went to entertain the guests.
Knowing that Yan Yu was pregnant and would be back soon, Mrs. Lin was very happy for her and Nian Jincheng, and couldn't help but nagging Lin Shi, "You all have families, and I don't know when my stinky boy will be able to get married and let us have grandchildren!"
However, Lin Shi's parents are very open-minded. Although they nag, it is not a problem for Mrs. Lin. She said a few words and changed the subject to mention Lin Shan and Yuan Pei's re-engagement.
Su Liang was a little surprised, "Really? Congratulations."
Mrs. Lin sighed, "We really didn't think about bringing them together again. When I came to Beijing, I was always thinking about finding a good girl for Pei'er, but he said that after all the previous things, he had seriously considered it, but he still couldn't forget Shanshan and hoped to marry her. My husband and I are naturally happy to see it happen."
Lin Shan's face was already red. Obviously, after some twists and turns, she and Yuan Pei went from childhood sweethearts to really loving each other now.
Su Liang felt very good. The experience of Lin Shan in the middle was just a mistake, and now it has passed. The relationship of growing up together as childhood sweethearts is rare in itself. Lin Shan forgot, but Yuan Pei did not forget. They didn't miss each other in the end, which was a good fate.
Su Liang didn't mention Yuan Ying. Now I don't know how she is, everything will be said after rescuing her first.
After seeing off Mrs. Lin and Lin Shan, Su Liang heard a familiar voice.
"Master!" Su Liang turned around and saw Ren Dong appeared not far away, running towards her.
Su Liang was very surprised and reached out to hug Ren Dong. She looked very good. Qi Jun and Bai Yang were also back. Qi Jun was a little thinner and looked more energetic than before. He was chatting with Qi Yan.
"Bai Yang, go to the Yanwang Mansion to see your fiancée." Su Liang said with a smile.
Bai Yang bowed deeply to Su Liang, turned around and disappeared.
"Is my godfather back?" Su Liang asked.
Ren Dong nodded, "They are all back. The Marquis went home first and said he would come to see the master and the young lady later. Where is the young lady?"
"Just call her Nuan Nuan." Su Liang took Ren Dong into Yuanming Pavilion. Gu Xiao Nuan was playing on the ground with her two brothers.
Ren Dong's eyes lit up and took out a sparkling gem from her purse and came over. It was a gift she found in Liang Country and brought back specifically for Gu Xiao Nuan.
Qi Jun also ran in and went straight to Gu Xiaonuan.
Su Liang said that this was normal, her daughter has always been loved by everyone.
When Ren Dong learned that Gu Ling and Qiu Jing went to Xingluo Island, she immediately asked if she needed her to go to meet them.
Su Liang shook her head, "Not for the time being, wait for the news. You and Qi Jun should prepare to get married, you will marry from the Su Mansion, and I have prepared the dowry for you."
Qi Jun smiled and wanted to hold Ren Dong's hand, but was hit. He coughed twice and asked Su Liang, "Is there any progress in my brother's marriage?"
Qi Yan kicked Qi Jun, "Take care of yourself, don't show off, go back to the Marquis' Mansion to see the old lady!"
Qi Jun took Ren Dong to the Marquis of Zhongxin Mansion. In addition to the old lady Xing, he also wanted to see Xing Yusheng's son.
...
Every day when Su Liang went to treat Yan Shiba, he would chat with her for a while. Most of the time, Su Liang was talking, and Yan Shiba rarely spoke.
That night, Qiuyue waited for Yan Shiba to finish taking the medicine, and then helped her wash up. "Miss Yan, go to bed early. If you have anything, ring this bell. I'm next door." There was a bell hanging on the head of the bed, with a rope, where Yan Shiba could reach.
Yan Shiba nodded slightly, "Thank you." He closed his eyes as soon as he finished speaking.
Qiuyue put down the bed curtain and went out without blowing out the light. Nangong Qian was afraid of the dark, so she always left a light on at night. Qiuyue thought that Yan Shiba was sick, so it was safer to leave the light on.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Yan Shiba on the bed slowly opened his eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he barely heard two words, "Su, Liang..."
