At this time, Yang Jing said again: "You should also be able to figure it out later, the car accident was even more serious than before." Ah Liang originally came to me to introduce me to a top surgeon, but when his body injuries and internal injuries stabilized, it was a brain disease in his head that really affected him. I couldn't do anything about it, so I immediately contacted my grandmother and brought someone here. ”

"How bad was it then?" It is certain that Zhou Yu, whom I saw later, was already in treatment, because from the time Zhou Nian was taken away by the Zhou family to the time I found him in the UK, it took more than half a year, and I started to look for him three months after giving birth to the rice grain, and then went to the United States to find Zhou Nian to confirm that he was in the UK, plus the visa procedures, it was almost eight months.

Therefore, the situation I saw must not be the worst, it has been alleviated, otherwise Zhou Nian would not have told me his brother's whereabouts, and Zhou Liang would not have allowed me to come forward to test it.

Yang Jing's face showed a trace of unbearability, and she shook her head at me: "You won't want to know." ”

"Tell me." That's what I asked of her.

If this is Zhou Yu's past, then I have a reason and a right to know.

"I'll tell you." Zhou Nian suddenly spoke, leading me to turn my eyes over. Since entering the door, he has been leaning against the wall by the door in silence, and has always listened to Yang Jing and my conversation without saying a word.

He said: "That car accident almost killed the third child. He had a big cut in his back from the bumper of the car, and when he arrived at the hospital, he was in shock from blood loss, and this was not a fatal injury, the real fatal injury was that two ribs in his chest pierced his lungs, and he bleed with every breath. ”

My fingernails were digging into my palms, but they didn't hurt.

I only heard Zhou Nian say again: "At that time, he had to have surgery, otherwise he would die of internal bleeding." After the operation, the hospital issued several critical illness notices, and we transferred him to the United States for treatment, and he also lay in the intensive care unit for a whole month before he woke up. And waking up was not a good thing for him, his head hurt so much that he was rolling around, at first we didn't know what it was, and then we realized that his headache was because he saw us. ”

"Why?" I asked.

"The third child's brain cells have been mutated due to the second heavy injury, like a machine reorganized, but because we are his closest relatives and the people he is most familiar with, as long as we see us, it will have a visual impact on him. Comparing the original brain cells to the past, and the reorganized brain cells to the present, is equivalent to a strong collision between the past and the present, which makes him have a splitting headache. ”

Zhou Nian said that the corners of his mouth overflowed with bitterness and sadness: "To be honest, at first, because we couldn't accept it, we even wanted to use such a collision to stimulate his memory to come back." But Ah Jing's grandmother told us not to think of this as a loss of memory, but the beginning of a disease, if the human brain is a machine, it is cut by a steel knife all the time, and there is only one end - the complete destruction of the machine. ”

Knowing that what Zhou Nian said was just a process, Zhou Yu must have recovered because of some opportunity later, but when he heard it, he still couldn't control the dull pain in his heart.

Zhou Nian said, so their family all retreated to the shadows. As long as the third child can be cured, what is their will.

But here you are.

Zhou Nian's voice was very low when he said this, his eyes were very deep, but the eyes looking at me were very complicated.

Why—but, I'm coming?

"Please make it clear." I asked, but saw Zhou Nian bow his head and be silent.

"Xiao Ru," Yang Jing called to me, "do you know how Zhou regained his memory?" ”

My heart was in a daze, this was the first time I saw Yang Jing look at me with calm, but actually sad eyes. At that moment, I didn't even dare to answer her words, knowing that the answer might be within reach, as long as I took a step, but I suddenly became timid.

However, Yang Jing no longer gave me a chance to retreat: "Zhou is self-recovered, since you came." Originally, his grandmother could have done a series of follow-up treatments for Zhou, gradually repairing his damaged brain cells through medical science, but in this way, he may have no memory of the past after recovery, because his brain cell structure has been completely reorganized. ”

Obviously, the conservative treatment method that Yang Jing mentioned was not used.

I only heard Yang Jing say again: "Since you saw him, he has only read one name over and over again - Jia Xiaoru." He used an extremely violent way to force himself to think, even if every time he thought about everything about you made him feel painful, he still thought about the past again and again. A few times, he fainted because of a splitting headache, still shouting your name, and I wondered what kind of obsession made him so desperate. ”

"And then?" I asked softly.

Yang Jing smiled lightly and said, "It's been about half a year back and forth, and he finally put back the memory pictures of the past with his willpower." It's just that he ...... at that time" Yang Jing paused, stared at me and asked, "Ah Liang has taken a photo, do you want to see it?" ”

Sometimes I know it's an abyss, but I still don't hesitate. I nodded, "Show me." ”

Yang Jing took out another file bag from the filing cabinet and handed it over, and when I took it, I felt that it was full of bulge. When I opened the file bag, I heard Yang Jing say beside me: "It's Zhou's meaning, he is afraid that he will forget again in the future, so he asked Ah Liang to take pictures of his state in each time period." The photos you see in the dessert shop are all from the time of restoration. ”

The first one I pulled out, my eyes stabbed hard. I almost can't believe that the skinny person in the photo is Zhou Yu! His whole cheekbones were sunken, his eyes were like holes, his eyes were loose, and I saw some red marks on his face and neck. raised his head and had doubts in his eyes, but he felt inexplicably sour, and his vision blurred.

"Those are scratches, and when he has a splitting headache, he unconsciously scratches at his body, and he leaves those marks."

The next few photos are all of him from different periods, even if it's not as inconspicuous as the first one, but it makes me uncomfortable. I reached into the file bag and tried to take out all the photos, but unexpectedly, my hand slipped and all fell to the ground.

Some of the photos are positive, some are negative, and my eyes suddenly stopped, and I saw that my name "Jia Xiaoru" was written on the back of all the photos.

"I asked Zhou why he wrote these three words on the back of every photo, and he said he didn't want to forget it."

Suddenly, my eyes drooped, and tears rolled down my face. I immediately wiped it with my hands, but I couldn't wipe it all, so I could only squat down with it and pick up the photos one by one. One of them, it should be that he has recovered, he smiled toothily at the camera, with a bright smile, as if to say: Jia Xiaoru, I'm fine.

"When was this one taken?" I asked Yang Jing.

"I think it was a year ago."

That is, it took him almost two years to get back to where he is now, so—

"He actually remembers the past, doesn't he?"

Yang Jing nodded: "I asked you in the back garden just now, do you believe it if Zhou has never lost his memory?" From a medical point of view, forgetting the past with familiar people is only a superficial symptom, and it is actually a reorganization of brain tissue cells. I don't dare to say if he remembers everything about other people, but he remembers everything about you clearly. ”

I closed my eyes in grief, so everything he did when he came back was in clear memory, so what reason do I have to doubt his purpose? I remember that during that time, I repeatedly rejected him, and even thought that I had the initiative, and stubbornly decided that even if he returned, it was not the person I was waiting for.

But he's my Zhou Gongjin at all!

No wonder he keeps saying that he doesn't hate me, no wonder he wants to set up one bureau after another, just to let me return to the lawyer profession, let me regain my self-confidence, and even press the entire Bashan Book City.

"Why didn't he come back sooner?" This is Yang Jing, and I am also asking myself, why didn't I come back earlier and tell me everything, why did I hide all this things, why did I pretend to be ruthless, why, why, why?

Suddenly, a figure came to me and grabbed my arm, it was Zhou Nian.

I've never seen him so angry as he always was: "Do you still want to ask? Because the third child's heart is all about you, because he is willing to risk his life to remember you, because he doesn't want you to see such a tragic self. Jia Ru, if you have any other questions to ask, I'll tell you them all. ”

"No, Brother Nian doesn't." Yang Jing hurriedly stopped.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Nian asked angrily: "Why not?" Since she is so digent, let's put everything in the bottom line. He turned his eyes back to me, "Do you know why my mother died?" The second child told you that he couldn't accept that the third child was injured and died of a heart attack, and I told you that it was just to hide it from the third child. ”

I looked at him in amazement, vaguely aware that what he was going to say next would be hard for me to accept. But I had to listen to it, because it was probably related to Zhou Yu.

I saw Zhou Nian pointing to his brain and saying: "Heredity, how can people without the previous generation call it heredity?" ”

"You mean......" I glared at him in disbelief, "no, your mother has a heart attack, and your aunt is the one who has this gene." ”

The corners of Zhou Nian's mouth pulled up a mocking arc: "No generation in our Zhou family has a history of heart disease, where did my mother's heart attack come from?" She didn't die from a heart contraction, she died of a brain disease! The weakening of the heart is only a sequelae of brain disease. Very early on, I didn't understand why among the three brothers, I had to shoulder all the responsibilities of the Zhou family, and the second brother was pressed to learn to do it even if he didn't care about business, but the third brother, his parents never restrained him. He wanted to stay in City A and let him go, he wanted to be a policeman and let him go, until my mother died, I didn't know that only the third child in the family inherited this medical history. ”

In Zhou Nian's long list of words, I only recognized one message.

This brain disease will die!
