Chapter 664 Who am I?
Rong Xin's mind was in a daze, and her memories had become blurred due to the long period of confusion, making it difficult for her to distinguish what year it was.
"Didn't you leave? What are you doing back here?" Rong Xin remembered that Lu Yangyang had left. She told Lu Yangyang to get lost and never bother her again.
The sounds she heard most often in her memory were Lu Yangyang calling her name and Lu Yangyang talking to himself.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
“Auntie, I’ve been gone for three years. Look at me, I’ve grown taller. You almost didn’t recognize me just now!” Lu Yangyang said in a muffled voice.
Rong Xin pulled her away from her embrace, cupped her face and examined her carefully, as if to verify whether Lu Yangyang's words were true or false. After a long while, she nodded absently, "I have gained some weight."
Lu Yangyang's eyes widened, her pupils filled with astonishment.
Rong Xin asked her again, "What are you doing back here?"
"I..." There was too much to explain. Lu Yangyang knew that in her aunt's current state, what she said would not only fail to help her aunt regain her memory, but would also agitate her and make her condition worse.
Although my aunt rarely self-harms when she's having a mental breakdown, it's not unheard of.
Over the years they've been together, she's lost count of how many times she's seen her aunt in unbearable pain.
Lu Yangyang pulled Wen Yu, who was still in a daze, and made Rong Xin look at him: "Aunt, this is my master Wen Yu. He said you know each other. Think carefully, have you met somewhere before?"
"Wen Yu?" Rong Xin frowned slightly upon hearing this name, as if she were recalling something.
But her memory was so chaotic that even when she was lucid, she was merely lucid; she still couldn't remember many things or people.
Wen Yu looked at her with red eyes and called out, "An Yan, don't you remember me? We made a promise that I would come to find you once my medical skills improved."
“An Yan…” Rong Xin was slightly stunned, silently repeating these two words many times, murmuring, “I am An Yan, I am An Yan, why am I here? I am clearly An Yan…”
"No, who am I? Who am I?" Rong Xin began to feel confused again.
Lu Yangyang quickly grabbed her wrist and called out, "Auntie!"
Rong Xin woke up with a start, shaking her head wearily: "I'm sorry, I can't remember."
I can't remember who An Yan is, and I can't remember who she is either.
It's so familiar, yet I just can't remember it.
Memories are like a fog, a fog that can't be cleared away.
"It's alright, Auntie. I brought him here to treat you. He's a miracle doctor, very skilled. He can cure your headaches. Have him take your pulse and prescribe some medicine, and your headache will be gone." Lu Yangyang gently patted her back and coaxed her softly.
Upon hearing her say that, Rong Xin felt a throbbing headache again and softly hummed in agreement.
Lu Yangyang sat down to the side, took Rong Xin's hand, and handed it to Wen Yu.
Upon hearing this, he said no more and focused on taking Rong Xin's pulse.
Rong Xin's pulse was erratic, and Wen Yu, unusually cautious, took her pulse with both hands one after the other for a full quarter of an hour before finally releasing her.
“There was obvious blood stasis on the head. I first prescribed some medicine, and after drinking it, I slept well. Then I used acupuncture to help the medicine disperse the blood stasis.”
"Auntie, did you hear that? Take your medicine properly, and your headache won't be so bad in a few days. Don't think about anything right now. I'm back, and I've been with you all this time," Lu Yangyang said happily, holding her hand.
Rong Xin frowned, quite impatiently: "Who needs you to accompany me? I can manage on my own, I don't need you!"
“Then I’ll go and brew the medicine for Auntie!” Lu Yangyang didn’t object and immediately asked Wen Yu to tell her the prescription so she could go out and brew the medicine.
As Rong Xin listened to Wen Yu read the prescription, her gaze fell on Wen Yu again: "I think I have indeed seen you before. There was such a person who read the prescription in the same way, but I am not familiar with traditional Chinese medicine."
"I remember that person said a lot to me, and even said he would teach me how to take a pulse, but it's been too long, I can't remember clearly." Rong Xin looked dazed, as if she was recalling something, or as if she was lost in thought.
Lu Yangyang went out to prepare the medicine, leaving only Wen Yu and Rong Xin behind. When Wen Yu noticed that she seemed to have a reaction to the prescription, he picked out their experiences from when they traveled and practiced medicine together and told her about the cases they encountered back then. Although Rong Xin didn't remember many things, for a doctor, nothing is clearer or more memorable than medical records.
Therefore, when Wen Yu deliberately said something wrong, she would correct him.
After an unknown amount of time, when Lu Yangyang brought the medicine over, the two of them were surprisingly having a pleasant conversation. Wen Yu even deliberately asked about some difficult and complicated illnesses that he had encountered that he couldn't solve, and Rong Xin was able to tell him how to solve them quickly. Then she said it was a pity that there was no medicine.
Lu Yangyang fed Rong Xin the medicine she had prepared. Rong Xin seemed a little unsatisfied, but she was in very poor spirits. In just a short time, she had exhausted all her strength. Soon after drinking the medicine, she fell into a deep sleep.
The prescription contains a large amount of sedative ingredients, so Rong Xin should be able to get a good night's sleep this time.
As soon as Rong Xin fell asleep, Lu Yangyang couldn't wait to ask Wen Yu, "How is it? Will Auntie get better once the blood clot in her brain is cleared up?"
Wen Yu shook his head.
“Blood stasis is only one of the reasons for her current symptoms. Her meridians have been damaged for a long time and cannot be changed overnight. Moreover, the heart governs the mind, so half of her illness is also a mental illness.”
Wen Yu's expression was grave. He had expected it to be serious, but he hadn't imagined it would be this serious: "According to my treatment method, it will take at least three to five years for her to recover, and that's just to heal her body. Whether her memory can be restored depends on fate. Resolving the blood stasis is only the first step; it won't help her memory at all. Because of the blood stasis, the meridians in her brain are damaged, which will not only cause headaches and memory confusion, but will also affect her vision. It's even possible that she will eventually go blind."
Lu Yangyang recalled that Rong Xin had indeed had a lot of trouble looking at her earlier. She had thought it was because she hadn't seen her for a long time and was looking at her more carefully. It turned out that Rong Xin's eyes were already a little blurry.
"It's already a blessing that she can be cured." Before coming, Lu Yangyang had thought a lot and hoped that her aunt could make her own choice, but now she just hoped that her aunt could be safe and healthy.
“But there’s a way,” Wen Yu said, not wanting Rong Xin to continue like this. “Let Qingqing come over tomorrow. Although she has studied medicine in Medicine God Valley since childhood, she has a quirky personality and often thinks about unorthodox things. Perhaps she has other ideas.”
