Chapter V: Restoration
Xin Yifan happily took this crystal necklace and went home with Chen Xia.
Chen Xia saw that Xin Yifan liked this necklace so much, so she went to help him buy a wax thread and re-knit the chain body for him, wrapped the chain body that was originally made of gold, and left a crystal wrapped in gold wire as a pendant, Xin Yifan couldn't wait to wear it around his neck, and touched it with his hands from time to time, picked it up and looked at the light and couldn't put it down, even when he went to bed at night.
That night, Xin Yifan had a lot of strange dreams, in which he saw huge planets, shuttle spaceships, tall mountains, and big houses, round, flat, oval, square...
The next day, Xin Yifan got up refreshed, ran out of the door after washing himself, he ran downstairs, took the necklace to the morning sun, squinted his eyes, the sun shone on the crystal, turning the crystal into gold, Xin Yifan looked very carefully, and the red and blue silk threads inside moved under the sunshine! Slowly intertwined and rotated, and then became faster and faster, the light reflected on Xin Yifan's body became intense, and the light of different colors appeared on the pale yellow crystal, which was very beautiful on Xin Yifan's body.
This scene was seen by Chen Xia, who went downstairs to look for her son, I don't know if it was an illusion, she seemed to see her son's appearance when he was a child, and Chen Xia was stunned for a while.
The cold and biting north wind blew on Chen Xia's face, pulling her back to reality at once.
Chen Xia walked quickly to Xin Yifan's side, patted Xin Yifan's shoulder, and woke up Xin Yifan, who was immersed in the halo, Xin Yifan saw his mother and showed a happy smile. Chen Xia took her son's hand and said, "Yifan, why did you run out alone! It's such a cold day, and you don't wear much, and it's not worrying when you're so old!" Although it was blame, there was indescribable love in her tone.
Xin Yifan picked up the crystal pendant of the necklace and compared it to his mother, and then to the sun, and made a vague voice in his mouth, "It's beautiful!"
This voice made Chen Xia stunned for a moment, and then seemed to react, and excitedly hugged her son and shouted: "Son, what did you just say?"
"Good-looking!" Xin Yifan saw his mother's happy appearance, and said again, although it sounded hoarse and vague, but Chen Xia still understood, tears flowed out, and then hugged Xin Yifan tightly, this sentence made Chen Xia more excited than when Xin Yifan first learned to speak when he was a child, it was the expectation of a new life, this is the joy of rebirth.
"Mom, don't cry!" Xin Yifan said again, and then patted his mother's back. This made Chen Xia cry loudly. Yes, she was crying with joy, her son could finally speak!
The good news that Xin Yifan was able to speak was quickly spread by Chen Xia to the ears of relatives and friends who cared about him, Shu Jingyan's parents, Yu Chengdong, Ye Zilan, and many former classmates and colleagues came to see Xin Yifan, Xin Yifan could only say a few simple words to communicate with everyone, but at least he could recognize these people, and everyone believed that Xin Yifan would be able to recover sooner or later.
After everyone left, only Ye Zilan stayed, but she was arranged by his father to spend the New Year here, and of course Xin Jianguo also stayed in the capital for the New Year.
When Ye Zilan called her father, she also mentioned Xin Yifan's situation now, and Ye Zhengfei on the other end was also very happy when she heard the news, because she was still on the way to the south, and the father and daughter didn't say much, Ye Zhengfei just told Ye Zilan to be obedient at Chen Xia's house, don't run around or something, and hung up the phone. Then Ye Zhengfei also called Chen Xia, first said hello to Chen Xia about Xin Yifan's recovery, said a lot of words of encouragement to their mother and son, and then asked Chen Xia to take care of Ye Zilan.
During this time, Xin Yifan had strange dreams every night, and many things that he couldn't think of before were slowly remembered, and he could say more and more.
Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Xia prepared a large table of dishes for the family, and Shu Jingyan's parents and Ye Zilan also celebrated the New Year together, everyone happily ate the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and watched the Spring Festival Gala, which was the happiest day for the two families in the past two years, and the room also sounded a long-lost laughter.
In fact, during this time, Xin Yifan's memories have been restored, including the previously damaged body, but he hasn't spoken for too long, and he hasn't adapted to it yet, so he talks less, he feels hungry now, and his appetite is very good, Chen Xia even thinks that his son can eat more now than when he was older, but in order for his son to recover as soon as possible, Chen Xia still makes big fish and meat every day to give her son food, which is sad to Ye Zilan, who came to Xin's house for the New Year, has to eat with Xin Yifan every day, and regrets it after eating, it seems that it has become a little mellow after the New Yearγ
The days passed quickly, and it would be the Lantern Festival in a few days, but Ye Zilan became a little anxious, because she couldn't contact Ye Zhengfei since yesterday, she used to make a phone call every day to report that Ye Zilan was safe, but now it's almost two days, her father doesn't have a call, she can't get through every time she calls, Chen Xia also knows about this, she comforted Ye Zilan, and asked her to call Ye Zhengfei later, if she still can't be contacted, go to the police, after all, it's less than 48 hours, Ye Zilan can only think about it.
Xin Yifan still had some strange dreams every night during this time, but he felt energetic after waking up every day.
Chen Xia saw that her son could say more and more, and his physical activity was almost the same as that of a normal person, and she was indescribably happy in her heart, but Ye Zilan was more and more worried about her father in the past two days, so Chen Xia also worried.
It has been almost three days since Ye Zhengfei was contacted, Ye Zilan couldn't help it, so she said to Chen Xia: "Aunt Chen, I want to go to the police today." Chen Xia didn't hesitate and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you." Xin Yifan, who was on the side, suddenly stammered a little to Ye Zilan and asked, "Xiaolan, do you know where Uncle Ye went?"
Ye Zilan said: "Dad said that there is a batch of goods that must be sold in the south as soon as possible, and he said that it may go to Hui City in Guangdong Province. β
Hearing her say this, Xin Yifan remembered, the day before Ye Zhengfei left, he received a group of people, Xin Yifan can now remember the appearance of these people, including his own crystal necklace that was sold to Ye Zhengfei by those people, so the biggest possibility for Ye Zhengfei to fly to the south is to go to the things he received that day, with his intuition, Xin Yifan realized that those people might be tomb robbers!
Xin Yifan thought of this, so he told his mother Chen Xia and Ye Zilan what he saw that day and his own opinion, after hearing the news, Chen Xia and Ye Zilan were a little shocked, if it was really like Xin Yifan said, Ye Zhengfei was committing a crime! For a while, everyone did not speak.
Ye Zilan thought for a long time, and finally said to Chen Xia and Xin Yifan: "Let's go to the police, I'm worried about what happened to my father now, Aunt Chen, Brother Yifan, let's go now." Compared with her father's safety, Ye Zilan felt that nothing was important, and after speaking, she walked towards the door, Chen Xia and Xin Yifan immediately followed, took a taxi at the gate of the community, and drove directly to the nearby police station.
When they arrived at the police station, Ye Zilan told the police who received them that her father had not been able to be contacted for three days, but only mentioned that Ye Zhengfei might be doing business when he went to the south, and said that his father's height and appearance and other characteristics were said. Because it had been more than 48 hours since the disappearance, the police immediately opened a case and handed it over to the special department investigating the disappearance, and at the same time asked Ye Zilan many questions about Ye Zhengfei.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when the three of them returned home, and then Chen Xia remembered that Xin Yifan seemed to be a little different today, talking and walking, just like a normal person, she circled around Xin Yifan a few times, and then touched her son's face again, and asked, "Son, are you all right?" Xin Yifan looked at his mother's old face and white hair, couldn't help but shed tears, nodded and said: "Mom, I remember everything, I'm fine now!"
Chen Xia happily circled around Xin Yifan again, and said in disbelief: "It's really all good, do you remember everything?"
"Yes, Mom, I remember everything, I can even remember what happened after I woke up. β
"Great, great!" Half a month ago, Chen Xia saw her son resume speaking, and she was already crying with excitement, and only half a month later, her son himself said that everything had recovered, of course he was not happy. The actions of the mother and son attracted the attention of Ye Zilan, who was sitting in the living room, and she was also happy for Xin Yifan and Chen Xia's mother and son after hearing the news that Xin Yifan had fully recovered, and it seemed that she had diluted a little bit of the worry caused by her father's disappearance.
"Well, call your dad first, and then call your teacher Yu, and go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up, so that you can rest assured, you go to rest early, and you have been busy all day today." Chen Xia said that she called herself.
Xin Yifan looked at Ye Zilan, who was worried, and comforted: "Xiaolan, don't worry too much, the police have already intervened in the investigation, I believe that Uncle Ye will be auspicious." β
"I know, Brother Yifan, I'm really happy that you can fully recover, I believe Dad will be very happy if he knows, hey, I hope Dad will come back soon. It's late, I'll go back to my room to rest first, you should rest early. Ye Zilan finished speaking and went back to the room.
Xin Yifan returned to his room, silently thinking about the recent things in his heart, he began to feel a little clearer half a month ago, that is, the day after getting the crystal necklace, he felt that something rushed into his brain, the hard stone that wrapped the memory seemed to crack a crack, from waking up to the present, his mother's hardships and his father's getting older day by day, he saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't do anything.
At that time, he felt like his brain was wrapped in a hard stone, and occasionally he could see a little light from the cracks, and he silently told himself in his heart every day that he must get better, he must get better!
At that time, he had his own consciousness but could not convey these emotions, and he wanted to express his thoughts but could not control his throat. The only thing that relaxes me is to see the antiques and historical things, these old objects that have been rubbed into time seem to come to life, to talk to him, to tell his own stories, and I am their best listener.
When he saw the crystal necklace, a strange feeling came to his heart, and the vicissitudes of life emanating from it came to his face, making Xin Yifan, who was still ignorant in his mind, like a child who saw his favorite toy, couldn't move his legs and couldn't take his eyes off.
When he pointed the crystal on the necklace to the sun, a colorful light shone into his mind, as if a hammer smashed heavily on the shackles that shackled his soul, split the stone that wrapped the memory, and slowly revealed his blindfolded memory, like a mirror more and more clear, the mirror slowly became transparent, until he saw his past self, as if there was a three-dimensional projector in his mind, all the information he had from childhood to adulthood flashed quickly in his mind.
