Chapter 667 Memory
Chapter 667 Memory
The next day, Wen Qingqing dragged Lu Yangyang out of bed early in the morning and couldn't wait to leave the city.
After receiving acupuncture and taking medicine last night, Rong Xin woke up several times, but did not regain full consciousness.
When Lu Yangyang and the others arrived at the manor, they saw that Wen Yu had two big dark circles under his eyes, and looked as if he had aged ten years overnight, and was extremely haggard.
"Uncle, what are you doing..." His appearance startled Wen Qingqing.
Wen Yu pulled her into the house without saying a word, and Lu Yangyang followed.
Mingxiu and Sheng Yunjiao went to help recruit people, and only Lu Yangyang and Wen Qingqing came to the manor.
Lu Yangyang originally planned to find an opportunity to tell Luo Jing and Old Master Meng about her aunt's identity, but given her aunt's current condition, even when she was lucid, she probably wouldn't remember them.
Lu Yangyang had no choice but to arrange for them to help out in the city first, and then deal with it after her aunt's situation improved.
Wen Qingqing was pressed to the bedside by Wen Yu, who urged her to take his pulse: "Qing, think of something, your uncle is begging you!"
Wen Qingqing never expected that the "ghostly doctor" whom her uncle had been so fond of and who had created so many incredible miracles would look like this. Without thinking too much, she hurriedly began to take Rong Xin's pulse.
Time passed slowly, and Wen Yu was getting increasingly angry, but he didn't urge Wen Qingqing any further.
That night, he took Rong Xin's pulse countless times and knew her pulse like the back of his hand. Now, the important thing was whether there was any way to help Rong Xin recover quickly.
He couldn't bear to see her suffer like this; it shouldn't be like this.
After a long while, Wen Qingqing finally released Rong Xin's hand. She frowned and spoke after a long pause: "Speaking of curing the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor..."
Lu Yangyang coughed lightly and reminded, "Just call me 'Auntie' like I do."
Wen Qingqing nodded, "As for curing Aunt's illness, Uncle should know better than me. My medical skills are hardly enough to make a difference. What you want to ask is, is there any way to help her regain her memory?"
“Hmm.” Lu Yangyang responded, “Auntie has basically lost all her memories. Even when she is lucid, she can’t distinguish between time and people, and her symptoms are getting worse. In previous years, I could tell that she still remembered some things from the past, but now, even her memories of me are much blurry.”
She had been with her aunt for over ten years, and even if her aunt was not fully conscious, she should have the most memories of her. However, Lu Yangyang has now clearly noticed that even these memories of her aunt are becoming confused and blurry.
"I do have an idea, but I'm not very confident about it; it might be quite risky. But if it succeeds, the results should be very noticeable," Wen Qingqing said after thinking for a moment.
"Do you really have a way?" Wen Yu looked at Wen Qingqing excitedly.
But then his expression turned serious: "Part of her memory problem is psychological, but psychological problems are hard to cure. Some people have tried methods to stimulate memories to help her recover them, but that method is too risky for her. She might not even recover her memories before..."
Wen Yu didn't continue, but Lu Yangyang understood what he meant.
Given the suffering Rong Xin has endured, if she were to experience further trauma, she might suffer self-harm or die from excessive convulsions during a period of mental breakdown.
This is really not a good method.
It's not that they hadn't thought about it, it's that they couldn't take the risk.
“No, that’s not it,” Wen Qingqing shook her head and explained to them, “My mother knew that I had been studying medicine since I was a child. Every time she came back from a sea voyage, she would bring me some related books, as well as those Westerners she brought back, such as pastors and doctors. I have learned from them all. There is a method called hypnosis.”
"Hypnosis?" Lu Yangyang was surprised: "I seem to remember my aunt mentioning it, but she doesn't know how. She only told me that hypnosis can awaken things deep in a person's memory."
"I didn't expect that the Ghost Hand Doctor even knew this! He truly deserves to be called a divine doctor!" Wen Qingqing was also very excited. "That's right, hypnosis is somewhat like a kind of witchcraft in Miao witchcraft. Through hypnosis, you can slowly awaken things deep in the human brain's memory, such as those memories that we easily forget, childhood memories, and memories that we deliberately forget after suffering serious trauma."
“My aunt has forgotten her past because she suffered a severe trauma. If hypnosis really works, it should be able to help her regain her memories!” Lu Yangyang looked at Wen Qingqing with bright eyes: “Qingqing, what kind of adventure are you talking about?”
“I do know this method, and I’ve tried it. It can indeed awaken things hidden deep in a person’s memory. However, I have limited experience, and there are very few people who need this. Furthermore, successful hypnosis has conditions.” Wen Qingqing sighed. “The person being hypnotized must completely trust the hypnotist in order to fully enter a hypnotic state. Most of the people I’ve tried have no memory problems, and the memories that are awakened are mostly things from their childhood, or things forgotten due to shock or something. As for my aunt, who lost her memory due to a shock, I’m not sure if she can accept my hypnosis, or if any special changes might occur during the hypnosis process. So I’m not particularly confident.”
After hearing her explanation, Wen Yu and Lu Yangyang both fell into deep thought.
If we follow Wen Qingqing's advice, this is indeed the best way. The body can be regulated, but memory problems are mostly psychological, and psychological problems are difficult to cure.
Methods to stimulate memory are only more risky.
"How about this, my mother is coming, isn't she? Although she doesn't know anything about medicine, she's very knowledgeable and might be able to give us some advice or provide some similar cases. We can start by treating Aunt's body, and as for her scars, leave them to me. I guarantee they'll fade by half in less than a month," Wen Qingqing suggested.
Lu Yangyang nodded upon hearing this: "What you said makes sense. Madam is knowledgeable and experienced, and she may be able to give us some advice. In that case, let's start with Aunt's health. Master, I'll leave the matter of treating her health to you. Qingqing, I'll entrust Aunt's scars to you. We'll stay at the manor for the time being. I will gradually guide Aunt to trust you when she is lucid."
This is the most difficult thing.
Lu Yangyang knew very well that her aunt was extremely wary. Even though she was mentally unstable, everything she had suffered was probably etched into her bones, and wariness had become her instinct. Not to mention outsiders, even towards her, her aunt was always wary.
In this situation, the most difficult thing is to get the aunt to trust Wen Qingqing and cooperate with her in hypnotherapy.
But there is a way. If it works, Auntie's memory might be restored soon.
