A few days before Yan Shiba was sent to the capital, Su Liang received news from someone sent by Hu Er.
It is indeed Yan Shiba, but it is also a trap.
Su Liang informed Qiu Cong that Qiu Jing pretended to be Gu Ling and was kidnapped by Sheng Yue.
Qiu Cong frowned, "That's right. If Xiao Gu is captured, Jing'er may not be able to save him." But Qiu Jing was captured, Qiu Cong believed that Gu Ling would definitely have a way to rescue him.
"I don't know where they are now. I hope they are fine." Su Liang sighed. Things can't be said to be bad, but they are definitely not good either. They are still a bit passive after all. Especially, there are still no Lao Mu and Cen Man so far.
According to the news, they may have been controlled by the people on Xingluo Island.
More and more people are being kidnapped. Once the other party starts using hostages, things will become more difficult.
"They must have gone south." Qiu Cong said, "If Jing'er is not exposed, it is possible for Xiao Gu to follow them to Xingluo Island."
It is indeed possible, but Su Liang thinks it is unlikely. Gu Ling knows the route to Xingluo Island. If he wants to go, he doesn't have to follow Sheng Yue. Moreover, it is difficult to follow at sea, and the ship is not invisible.
Therefore, Su Liang believed that 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, and there was no need to worry about his relatives and friends being arrested again. He could find a suitable place to rescue Qiu Jing, and wanted to solve the problem with Qiu Jing.
It is not easy for Sheng Yue to control several masters, but as long as he can get rid of his men, he will probably choose to return to Xingluo Island first. Because his biggest advantage is that he is invulnerable to all poisons, but the use of this ability is also
It is limited, especially when the other party is aware of it and is on guard against it. In addition, Sheng Yue has no chance of winning against Gu Ling and Qiu Jing teaming up.
"The two of them went out together and 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 arrested, but at the same time he was confident that Gu Ling could save her.
I am very confident about returning to Qiu Jing.
Ji Xiaoshu ran in and said that his father would leave for the north tomorrow on business and he would stay at Prince Yan's Mansion tonight.
"Go." Su Liang rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's little head.
Ji Xiaoshu ran upstairs, hugged his little pillow and ran down again, "I'll come back when my father leaves!" When he got to the door, he turned to Su Liang and asked, "Master, when will master come back?"
Ji Xiaoshu asked almost every day since Gu Ling left for three days.
Su Liang smiled, "It will take some time."
"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, and he did not go very quickly. On the day he arrived in the capital, Su Liang also received a letter from Kasyapa City.
The envelope was blank. Su Liang opened it and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Ling's handwriting. After all, he was still a little worried.
Gu Ling told what happened and what the next plan was. The former was similar to what Su Liang had guessed, while the latter was not something Su Liang had guessed, but it happened to be the solution to the problem she had been thinking about recently: save people first, not others.
If you delay any longer. If you wait any longer, more and more people will be arrested, and they will only become more and more passive.
Therefore, although Su Liang 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 of them led troops to blow up Xingluo Island. He couldn't help laughing, "I knew it! Then we'll wait for their good news!"
Su Liang felt that what Gu Ling wanted to do was not easy to achieve, but there was hope that the situation could be changed.
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 smiling face. Su Liang smiled when she saw it. She felt that her recent thoughts, worries, and concerns were all eliminated by this smile.
At noon, a carriage entered the Su Mansion, and Yan Shiba arrived.
Yan Shiba woke up on the way and looked no better than when he was in Sujiacun.
Su Liang asked Qi Yan to entertain Hu Er and arrange to escort and take care of Yan Shiba to stay at 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 given to Su Liang by the Bai family was still in good condition, as well as the beautiful tiger-head shoes made by Aunt Bai for Gu Xiaonuan. Su Liang took them
Gu Xiaonuan put it on when she arrived. It was a bit big, but it had laces and could be worn for two years without any problem.
The letter written by Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi to Su Liang was previously in Gu Ling's possession. It was delivered with Gu Ling's letter this morning. Su Liang has already read it.
Yan Shiba was not awake when she entered the house. Su Liang carefully checked her physical condition, asked Qiu Yue to help take care of her, and called her as soon as she woke up.
Then Su Liang asked Qi Yan to prepare some things as gifts for Hu Er and the Bai family. For Hu Er, some tonics prepared by Su Liang were given, and for the Bai family, there were some clothing materials, leather, tea leaves, and Xiaohu and Zhuzhu.
The four treasures of the study. Su Liang also wrote a reply to her two children, encouraging them to study hard and keep exercising. She would go back to the village when she had the opportunity. The letter and things were asked to be taken back by people from Bei'an County tomorrow.
No need to send it separately.
At this moment, Qiuyue came to Yuanming Pavilion and told Su Liang that Yan Shiba had opened his eyes.
"Did she say something?" Su Liang asked as he walked.
Qiuyue shook her head, "My servant told Miss Yan that this is the Su Mansion, but she didn't respond."
Su Liang felt that something was wrong. Could it be that Yan Shiba had not recovered from this catastrophe? 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 Qiu Yue to go back first. When she walked to the bed, she saw Yan Shiba's face was pale and weak, and he looked at her with strange eyes and a bit of caution.
Although she was a once-feared killer, Yan Shiba's appearance did not match her identity and name. She had a round face with soft outlines, and her facial features were soft and blunt. When she didn't look at her eyes,
, there is no edge at all. At this time, Yan Shiba's chin has become pointed due to weight loss, but her eyes have lost their former sharpness and look even more weak. If someone who doesn't know her sees her at first sight, they will never be able to follow the "killer"
"The two words are connected.
"You don't recognize me?" Su Liang asked. The people arranged by Hu Er said that although Yan Shiba woke up on the way, he didn't speak, so they didn't ask any questions.
Yan Shiba pursed his bloodless lips and did not answer.
"Then do you know who you are?" Su Liang asked again.
Yan Shiba spoke after a moment, his voice hoarse, "I can't remember."
Su Liang has checked the injuries on Yan Shiba's body, and there is a healed scar on the back of her head. Su Liang has saved Yan Shiba more than once, and knows the old injuries on her body. In addition to those, this time there are many more scars. Clothes
Below, there was no good skin on the front, chest and back, and the left breast was cut off.
If Yan Shiqi really did it, it shows how much he hates her.
Su Liang didn't want to comment on the grievances between Yan Shiba and Yan Shiqi. If she had to say it, the cause of the matter was indeed Yan Shiba's fault. She once knew that Yan Shiqi admired her and refused to accept or reject her.
Shiqi came and went as soon as she called him, treating him as a slave or even her dog. These were the exact words Yan Shiba said himself.
All sins must be repaid sooner or later.
Su Liang has always known that Yan Shiba is not a good person, but their relationship has nothing to do with Yan Shiqi. Yan Shiba was once sorry for Yan Shiqi, but it does not mean that Yan Shiqi is a good person.
Su Liang wanted to save Yan Shiba because Yan Shiba owed her and sincerely helped her. They are friends.
The last time they met was in Xiangyue City in the former Yan Kingdom. At that time, Gu Ling was captured by Qiu Cong and Nangong Lin. Su Liang was alone and looking for help. Yan Shiba happened to be nearby and he helped her without hesitation.
At that time, Su Liang had a serious talk with Yan Shiba, asking her to wash her hands in a golden basin, be a normal person, and live a good life. Yan Shiba had not made up her mind at that time, but she was already hesitant and said that she would think about it carefully before approaching Su Liang.
chat.
The last interaction between Yan Shiba and the couple before this was when Su Liang was arrested. Gu Ling asked Yan Shiba to take people to find Situ Xie to cause trouble, and she also rushed all the way to Yao City in the original Liang Kingdom.
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 am your friend, and your name is Yan Shiba. You should take good care of yourself first. It is 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 looked at the scar on the back of Yan Shiba's head again, and could see that the injury was very serious. She shook her head and said, "I can't say for sure. Maybe it will suddenly recover one day, or maybe it will never recover in a lifetime. The injury is on 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 from now on." Su Liang said to Yan Shiba.
Qiuyue brought the boiled soup and fed it to Yan Shiba and drank it.
Su Liang left and returned to Yuanming Pavilion. He saw guests, Mrs. Lin and Lin Shan. They often came to the mansion to look after their children, so they didn't need to say hello in advance.
Lin Shan made a colorful hydrangea for Gu Xiaonuan and was currently playing with Gu Xiaonuan in her arms.
Su Liang saw Lin Shan's smiling face and suddenly thought that when she first met Lin Shan in Kasyapa City, she also lost her memory due to injury. However, it later proved that she was indeed injured and lost her memory, but her memory loss was not the same.
It was not caused by injury, but because she had a glimpse of the enemy's secrets and could not let her die, so he made her take a drug that could cause amnesia, and then deliberately injured her brain, creating an accidental injury.
The illusion of amnesia...
The human brain is very complex and fragile, and amnesia is an accidental event. In this era without medical equipment, no matter how smart a doctor is, he cannot determine the internal situation of the brain by taking a pulse, and it is even impossible to perform surgery similar to a craniotomy.
.
The reason why Su Liang remembered this incident when he saw Lin Shan was because Su Liang had just met Yan Shiba, who had suffered a brain injury that resulted in amnesia.
Seeing that the lessons from the past were right in front of him, a thought came to Su Liang's mind: Did Yan Shiba really lose his memory because of the injury? Or was it like Lin Shan, who learned some secret and had his memory deliberately erased?
As a doctor, Su Liang knows very well that there is no inevitable causal relationship between brain injury and amnesia. Most people's brain injuries will not cause amnesia, but if they are not careful, they will kill the person. If you want to hurt someone through external force
It is impossible to achieve the precise effect of clearing memories in your brain. Such consequences can only happen by chance.
But Su Liang did not find any residual poison in Yan Shiba's body. However, when Lin Shan was drugged to erase her memory, it was not a poison that could remain in the body forever, and it was irreversible and could not be recovered.
Su Liang thought that she might be overthinking it. With Yan Shiba's physical condition and how injured she was, she could have been injured anywhere, and it would not be strange for her to lose her memory after being injured.
Mrs. Lin greeted Su Liang, and she temporarily put aside her thoughts and went to entertain the guests.
When she learned that Yan Yu was pregnant and would be back soon, Mrs. Lin was very happy for her and Nian Jincheng, but she couldn't help but mutter to Lin Wei, "You are all married, and my brat doesn't know it yet."
When can we get a wife so that we can have grandchildren!"
However, both Lin's parents were very open-minded, and it was not Mrs. Lin's problem that they kept nagging. After a few words, she changed the subject and mentioned Lin Shan's re-engagement with Yuan Pei.
Su Liang was a little surprised, "Really? Congratulations."
Mrs. Lin sighed with emotion, "We really haven't thought about bringing them together again. When I came to the capital, I was always thinking about finding a good girl for Pei'er. But he said that after what happened before, he had seriously considered it, and still
I can’t forget Shanshan and hope to marry her. My husband and I are naturally happy to see it happen.”
Lin Shan blushed. Apparently, after some twists and turns, she and Yuan Pei went from being childhood sweethearts to now really being in love with each other.
Su Liang felt very good. The period that Lin Shan went through was just a mistake, and it has passed now. The relationship between childhood sweethearts growing up together is rare in itself. Lin Shan forgot it, but Yuan Pei did not. In the end, they did not miss it, so they
It's a good fate.
Su Liang didn't mention Yuan Ying. We don't know how she is now. We will wait until she is rescued first.
After seeing off Mrs. Lin and Lin Shan, Su Liang heard a familiar voice.
"Master!" Su Liang turned around and saw Lonicera appearing not far away, running towards her.
Su Liang was very pleasantly surprised. She reached out and hugged Ling Dong and saw that she looked good. Qi Jun and Bai Yang also came back. Qi Jun lost a little weight and looked more energetic than before. He was chatting with Qi Yan.
"Bai Yang, go to Prince Yan's Mansion to see your fiancée." Su Liang said with a smile.
Bai Yang bowed deeply to Su Liang, turned around and disappeared.
"Is my adoptive father back?" Su Liang asked.
Ling Dong nodded, "They are all back. The Marquis went home first and said he would come over to see the master and the young lady later. Where is the young lady?"
"Just call her Nuannuan." Su Liang took Lonicera into Yuanming Pavilion, where Gu Xiaonuan was playing on the ground with her two brothers.
Lonicera's eyes lit up, and she took out a bright gem from her purse and held it close. It was a gift she had found in Liang Kingdom and brought back specifically for Gu Xiaonuan.
Qi Jun also ran in and went straight to Gu Xiaonuan.
Su Liang said that this was normal, as her daughter had always been loved by everyone.
Lonicera learned that Gu Ling and Qiu Jing had gone to Xingluo Island, and immediately asked if she was needed to go and pick them up.
Su Liang shook his head, "No need for now, let's wait for the news. You and Qi Jun are going to get married. You will marry from the Su Mansion. I have prepared the dowry for you."
Qi Jun smiled broadly and tried to hold Ling Dong's hand, but was hit. He coughed twice and asked Su Liang, "Do you have any clues about my brother's marriage?"
Qi Yan kicked Qi Jun, "Take care of yourself, don't show off, go back to the Hou Mansion and see the old lady!"
Qi Jun took Liandong to the Zhongxinhou Mansion. In addition to Mrs. Xing, he also wanted to see Xing Yusheng's son.
…
When Su Liang went to treat Yan Shiba every day, he would chat with her for a while. Most of the time, Su Liang did the talking, and Yan Shiba rarely spoke.
That night, Qiuyue waited for Yan Shiba to finish drinking the medicine, and then helped her wash up briefly, "Miss Yan, go to bed early. If you need anything, ring this bell. I'll be next door." There was a bell hanging on the bedside, with a rope attached to it.
A place where Yan Shiba can reach out and grab it.
Yan Shiba nodded slightly, "Thank you." After saying this, he closed his eyes.
Qiuyue put down the bed curtains and went out without turning on the lamp. Nangong Qian was afraid of the dark and always left a lamp on at night. Qiuyue thought that Yan Shiba was sick, so it would be safer to leave a lamp on.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Yan Shiba slowly opened his eyes on the bed, narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered two words inaudibly, "Su, Liang..."
