Chen Jingke thought about it and replied: "I have indeed heard of similar cases, but I don't know if they are the same."
Sun Simiao thought as expected: "Let's see if it works."
Chen Jingke nodded and said: "Some people encounter major setbacks and cannot see the way forward, so they will have negative thoughts of escape, such as placing their hope in gods and Buddhas."
Wu Shu's eyes lit up and he said: "My mother used to believe in Buddhism very devoutly. She stayed unmarried for forty years to serve the Buddha. Later, she got married with the help of the late emperor."
"But when I was in Luoyang, I heard about Master Sun's deeds and began to secretly read Taoist scriptures. After the completion of Baiyun Temple, I went to burn incense every day. Is this the situation you mentioned?"
Chen Jingke couldn't judge and could only say: "It's not certain yet, but it can make her give up Buddhism, which she had always believed in, and convert to Taoism. It shows that she was very dissatisfied with her situation at that time."
Sun Simiao nodded with all his thoughts in mind and said, "Then let's continue."
Chen Jingke continued: "Because of passive escape, you will be reluctant to wake up after being comatose."
"It's like we keep telling ourselves before going to bed, what time will I wake up tomorrow morning? There is a high probability that I will wake up before then tomorrow."
"This is the subconscious mind at work, we can also call it psychological influence. Their subconscious mind will tell them not to wake up, so they remain unconscious."
"The solution to this problem is difficult to say and easy to say. It is difficult because there are almost no good treatments."
"It's easy because as long as you let people close to you tell them about the past, especially happy and touching things, it may wake them up."
Wu Shu said quickly: "Yes, yes, I just told my mother about the past and my thoughts, and she shed tears."
Chen Jingke said: "If this is the case with Mrs. Wu, you can talk to her more about this aspect in the future. It should be helpful."
Sun Simiao said directly: "It is better to have a way than no way. Madam Wu might as well give it a try."
Wu Shu nodded heavily and said: "Yes, I will, and I will talk to my mother about these things every day from now on."
Chen Jingke added: "It's not just about the past, you can also talk about interesting things about the present, and then imagine a bright future. In short, we must give her hope to get out of the isolation."
Sun Simiao then gave her acupuncture, which mainly stimulated the cerebral cortex and helped her wake up.
It sounds ridiculous to stimulate the cerebral cortex without even knowing what it is, but acupuncture really does it.
To this day, people still cannot explain how the ancients could accurately find out the meridians and acupuncture points without any auxiliary tools.
But it does exist, and even the most anti-TCM people have selectively ignored it.
It was not until the first decade of the 21st century that scientists used instruments to measure the meridians, and their locations were exactly the same as those recorded in ancient medical books.
Acupuncture was quickly recognized and accepted around the world and became a conventional treatment for many diseases.
After the treatment, the sky had darkened. After all, there were differences between men and women, so Sun Simiao and Chen Jingke didn't want to linger so they got up and left.
Wu Shu sent them outside the door before returning. Looking at her mother on the hospital bed, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.
After such a long period of treatment, she finally saw the light. At this time, she was in two completely different states of mind.
But...she looked at her mother with a look of pity in her eyes. After their father died and they were kicked out of the house, she was the one who suffered the most.
If I have grievances, I can still complain to her. Who can she complain to?
"Don't worry, we will never have such hard times again. I used to be young and ignorant, but now that I have grown up, I have everything I need." She murmured to herself.
Then Chen Jingke's figure appeared in his mind, he bit his lip and said secretly, you can't escape from the palm of this girl's hand.
In the past, she only had some affection for Chen Jingke and had no other thoughts. And due to her status as a quasi-consort, she didn't really want to marry him.
The situation is different now. For her mother and herself, she must find support as soon as possible, and Chen Jingke, who is right in front of her, is undoubtedly the best choice.
After several months of contact, she knew him very well. He was talented, affectionate, and less scheming. But he was not a dull and pedantic person. On the contrary, he was very independent and a little sinister.
The key is that she is sure that she can tie him down. Then she will have someone to rely on, and her mother and sister will also be taken care of.
As for Princess Jinyang and the royal family... As long as the marriage edict has not been issued, it doesn't matter. And she is Sun's wife, so as long as Sun Zhenren is willing to protect her, the emperor and empress can do nothing.
So the next step is how to please Master Sun and that... brat.
Thinking of what happened during the day and Zhang Ping, she was filled with hatred for Chen Jingke, who had been flirting with women everywhere since he was young. At the same time, she also had a strong sense of crisis, and she must not let that little bitch succeed.
…
After coming out of Wu Shu's place, Chen Jingke said with emotion: "I finally got some clues. I really hope Mrs. Wu wakes up soon."
Sun Simiao nodded, but did not talk about his condition. Instead, he said: "How have you considered what I told you?"
Chen Jingke was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, and said helplessly: "You really want her to be your daughter-in-law? Besides, I'm so young, I can't be in a hurry."
Sun Simiao smiled and said: "I am indeed very satisfied with her. The reasons have been mentioned before, so I won't go into details. Age is not a problem. As we say, starting a family and starting a career, getting married early will save you the trouble."
"Mrs. Wu's condition has improved now, and she may wake up soon. They may leave at any time by then, so you have to think carefully."
Chen Jingke opened his mouth, unable to say any more words of rejection.
Sun Simiao saw his hesitation and did not force him. Instead, he said: "Okay, it's getting late. You can go back. You don't have to go to my place."
After saying that, he took the medicine box and walked to his residence.
Chen Jingke saluted him and waited until he was far away before he walked back thoughtfully. He didn't remember until he reached the door that he had forgotten to return the earrings just now.
Look at the sky. If he appeared at someone's door now, he would really be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.
Wait until next time.
When he returned to his small courtyard, the two maids were naturally still waiting for him.
When he came back, one of them massaged his back and the other put him in hot water to take a bath.
He called to Yuzhu and said, "Don't rush to put the hot water in. I haven't eaten dinner yet. If you have anything to eat, come over here."
Yuzhu said quickly: "Yes, I will get it for you right away."
After saying that, he went to the side room to get him a plate of pastries and said, "Didn't you go to the temple master's place? Didn't you eat there?"
Chen Jingke picked up a piece of pastry and said: "Mrs. Wu's mother's condition has improved. Master and I went to see her. We just finished reading it now, so we don't have time to eat."
Yuzhu said happily: "Really? That's great."
Chen Jingke asked in confusion: "What are you so happy about?"
Yi Nu said from behind: "Ms. Wu Sanni often comes here as a guest, and she is familiar with us, so I am happy for her."
"I see." Chen Jingke nodded and said, "But it's hard to say when it will recover. This kind of head injury is the most troublesome. No one can tell where the injury is and how to treat it."
Yuzhu nodded, rolled his eyes, and asked flatteringly: "Master, there are rumors that you want to marry Mrs. Wu, is it true?"
Chen Jingke said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? If this girl's reputation is passed down like this, she will lose her reputation. Don't be a quarrel in the future."
Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Is that so? That's great. Mrs. Wu Er is too..."
"Ahem." Yi Nu coughed several times and interrupted her, saying: "Young lady, it doesn't matter which house you like. As slaves, we just hope to be by your side and serve you forever."
Yuzhu also reacted, knowing that she had made a mistake, and quickly made up for it: "Yes, I just hope that I can serve you forever with Sister Yinu."
Chen Jingke naturally knew their concerns and thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, I'm used to you serving me. No matter who comes to the house from now on, you will have a place in my house."
The two women were pleasantly surprised. They didn't expect that they would get a promise after chatting casually.
But they know that the real person never makes a promise easily, and once he says it, he will definitely honor it. With this sentence, they at least don't have to worry about a bad ending.
They were naturally very happy to have security for the rest of their lives, and even flattered and catered to Chen Jingke.
At night, when Yuzhu fell asleep, Yi Nu was hesitating whether to go over to bed again, when he heard Chen Jingke say: "Come here."
She blushed, but obediently stood up and walked over. As soon as she reached the bed, she was pulled into the bed and pressed under her body.
