Chapter 82: Dementia

Guan Pengju walked slowly into the bushes, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and bowed down to greet everyone.

Without waiting for him to speak first, Ye Feng hurriedly asked, "How did the old man become like this, what the hell is going on?"

Guan Pengju shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics. Yesterday, I asked the people in the dart game to look for my father's traces in Lanzhou City, but unfortunately I found nothing. So, this morning I thought about trying my luck at my mother's grave, but as soon as I arrived here, I saw my father sitting in front of my mother's tombstone, chatting with my mother all the time. ”

"I don't know how long he's been sitting here, but strangely enough, my father doesn't seem to remember anything that has happened in the past twenty years, and he always thinks that he is still in the years when his mother just died, and all he is talking about is what happened in those years. ”

Ye Feng frowned, there was such a strange thing, he couldn't help but ask again: "I see what the old man called Guan Gongzi just now, what does it mean?"

Guan Pengju sighed and said: "I really don't understand, my father seems to have suddenly even known me, in his memory, I should still be a few years old, and he mistook me for a little guy who followed him back then, called Guan Fu." ”

Ye Feng was stunned: "Guan Fu, where is this Guan Fu now?"

Guan Pengju shook his head and said: "This Guan Fu has been serving by his father's side since he entered the mansion, and he has won his trust, but unfortunately, he died of illness ten years ago. ”

He pondered for a while and said, "But counting it, in the years when my mother died, this Guan Fu should indeed be my age now. ”

This thing sounds so weird, why would a good living person suddenly not even know his own son, but always fantasize that he seems to be living in the environment of twenty years ago.

What the hell is going on?

Zhang Fatzi was straightforward and blurted out: "Could it be that Old Man Guan suddenly lost his mind and went crazy?" Or was he lost his mind by Mrs. Guan's ghost?"

Ye Feng hurriedly turned his head and glared at him, stopping his nonsense.

Zhang Fatzi glanced at Guan Pengju, also stretched out his tongue, and quickly closed his mouth.

Guan Pengju didn't mind his nonsense, just lowered his head and pondered with a worried face.

At this time, Mo Qizhong, who had been silently observing Guan Si and had not spoken, suddenly said: "Old man Guan Si is not crazy, nor is he fascinated by ghosts, I think he should have dementia." ”

Everyone was stunned: "What is dementia?"

Mo Qizhong said: "People suffering from dementia are mostly old people, as early as the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" has been recorded, and the Tang Dynasty's "Thousand Golden Wings" is the most detailed: people over fifty years old Yang Qi began to decline, the loss and the sun, the heart gradually retreated, and the loss before and after. ”

"People who suffer from this disease are very forgetful, and especially the things in front of them, turn their heads and forget, but they often have the same clarity and detail as yesterday about the old things of many years ago

。 In addition, patients may have confusion in recognizing others, even if they are close to them, but they still have fresh memories of old people from many years ago. ”

"I look at the illness of the fourth old man, even his own son can't recognize it, but I know my old friend Mr. Aragone, who has been known for many years, and I have forgotten all the experiences of the past 20 years, and I always think that I still lived 20 years ago, and it seems that this disease must be undoubted. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was skeptical, but Zhang Idiot Zhang Fat suddenly said: "I remember, I remember that Lu Ji, the son of Lu Xun, a famous minister of the Three Kingdoms, once wrote a "Hundred Years Old Song", which mentioned this kind of illness:

The day is sluggish and the month is declining, although the body is not willing.

There are many false words and many sorrows, and the children and grandchildren worship or ask whom.

Pointing to the scenery and playing with the day, worrying about safety, I am grateful for my life. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, not only amazed that this fat man was really full of ink, but also felt that what was written in this poem was indeed quite consistent with the symptoms of Guan Si in front of them.

Ye Feng also remembered one thing at this time, when Guan Si was still lying in bed and pretending to be paralyzed by a stroke, and when he was investigating in the Guan Mansion, the maid who was in charge of serving Guan Si had inadvertently said something to Ye Feng.

She said that although the master has good martial arts and is physically strong, he is getting older and gradually becoming a little confused. Since a year ago, the old man has often forgotten things, especially the things in front of him, even after eating.

On the contrary, he remembers the old things in the early years, especially the things between him and the deceased original wife, so he often caused quarrels with the current lady who filled the house, that is, Hongyu.

These words sounded like they had nothing to do with the case at the time, so Ye Feng didn't take it to heart, and now that he thinks about it, all of them are consistent with the symptoms that Mo Qizhong said.

As soon as Ye Feng said these things, Guan Pengju suddenly remembered and said: "Yes, although my father usually lives in the courtyard and rarely meets, but I have also heard about it, and I heard that there was a time when my father was confused and even got lost in his yard, and he couldn't get out of the yard when he walked around. ”

Mo Qi nodded and said: "That's it, people suffering from dementia will have a confused sense of perception of the surrounding space, and even in a familiar environment, they will get lost." Moreover, the initial stage of this disease is sometimes good and sometimes bad, capricious, and when it does not occur, it is no different from ordinary people, and it is difficult for others to know. But in the later stage, the time to be awake will become less and less, and he will gradually lose his ability to take care of himself, and even lose his consciousness and become a wasted person. ”

He sighed heavily and said, "Moreover, there is no cure for this disease at present, and there is no cure!"

He looked at Guan Si, who was still sitting in front of his wife's tombstone, chanting words in his mouth, and said, "It seems that Ling Zun's condition has deteriorated very quickly, and now it is very serious. I see that he has been sitting here for a long time, not that he doesn't want to leave, but that he has simply forgotten the way to leave, and he himself can no longer get out. ”

When Guan Pengju heard this, he looked at his father's back with a sad face, and everyone present also felt a burst in their hearts

Sad.

Guan Si has such a high level of martial arts, even Tang Da is not his opponent, and he has such a deep mind, and he has exhausted all the tricks, he can't imagine that in the end, he will become so stupid and stupid, and end up like this!

It seems that there is already providence in the dark, the cycle of cause and effect, and the retribution is unpleasant.

While everyone was sighing in their hearts, Ye Feng nodded and said to himself: "I see, so I figured it out." ”

Mo Nanachi asked, "What have you figured out?"

Ye Feng said: "Originally, I always felt strange, when we first arrived in Lanzhou, the prison army Ma Jing was poisoned, His Royal Highness King Su and the little marquis Song Hu became a fire and water, and the situation in Lanzhou City was turbulent and imminent. Even if Guan Si wants to design revenge and kill Hongyu's mother and son, he shouldn't choose this time?"

Mo Qizhong said, "That's right, now you have figured it out?"

Ye Feng smiled: "Actually, it's not that he chose this time, but that he has no choice at all, and he doesn't dare to wait any longer." ”

"Since Mr. Guan began to show symptoms such as forgetfulness and getting lost a year ago, he must have been vigilant in his own heart. In fact, this disease is not difficult to detect, please ask a famous doctor to check it. When he knew that he was suffering from this dementia, and sooner or later he would become a stupid and stupid waste, his heart must have been extremely sad. ”

Everyone nodded, and everyone could imagine the mood in Guan Si's heart at that time.

Ye Feng continued: "At this time, Guan Yuntian went to secretly investigate the affairs of Hongyu and Mr. Huangyue according to his instructions, found out the truth, and came back to report to him. The woman whom he had pampered for twenty years was a conspiracy to seize his property? The child whom he regarded as a treasure was not his own son? How angry should he have been at that time?"

However, he had some panic, and by this time his illness had become more and more frequent, and it was difficult to say when the illness became heavy, I am afraid that he would become confused and stupid, and lose his consciousness. And while he can still stay sober, the matter of the heir of the Guan family must be decided first. ”

Therefore, he had no choice, he didn't have time to wait for the turmoil in Lanzhou City to subside before he started, he could only quickly launch the plan he had designed at this time to get rid of the mother and son who harbored evil intentions, and also get rid of Guan Yuntian, the child of his great enemy, and settle all the grievances. ”

Ye Feng sighed: "Maybe from the beginning of this plan, Old Man Guan guessed that sooner or later, someone would inevitably find out the truth, but it didn't matter." Even if the worst outcome is that he becomes a murderer and his reputation is ruined, or even killed, it may be better than being a stupid and stupid person like now. ”

He looked up at Guan Pengju's eyes and said, "What's more, at that time, Grand Prince Guan has been able to rightfully inherit all the properties of the Guan family and inherit the Qinglong Dart Bureau, and the Guan family will have successors from now on, so he can leave with confidence." Perhaps, his greatest wish is to be buried with your mother, living and dying together. ”

Guan Pengju's eyes welled up with tears, and he said:

"Father, he ......," he choked up and couldn't say any more.

Everyone was also embarrassed for a while, and only Zhang Fatzi opened his mouth and asked: "Then what should we do now? Guan Si is a murderous felony who is wanted by the imperial court after all, should he be arrested or not?"

Mrs. Tang, who had not squeaked all the time, suddenly raised her head, glared at Zhang Fatzi angrily and said: "You ruthless and unrighteous little fat man, the old body will not do anything to such a stupid old man who has lost his mind, you want to arrest him yourself!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked down the mountain without looking back.

Mo Qizhong smiled meaningfully at Zhang Fatzi, and also walked after Mrs. Tang.

Tang Da on the side spread his hands and said that since the old lady said that he would not interfere in this matter, besides, when it comes to martial arts, Tang Da was not Guan Si's opponent.

Now the fat man Zhang is dumbfounded, this is Guan Si, even if he is stupid and stupid now, but his martial arts are still there, just by him, ten fat men are not enough for this old guy to stuff his teeth.

He could only mumble with an embarrassed face: "It's not that I want to arrest him, I just asked, why are they all coming at me?"

Ye Feng glared at him again, why? It's not all because of your many mouths and tongues!

Seeing that Zhang Fat Man lowered his head and closed his mouth, Ye Feng also felt a dilemma in his heart, yes, what should I do with this Guan Si old man?

If it was in the past, no matter how high Guan Si's martial arts were, since he was in a lawsuit with human life, he had to fight hard to arrest him.

But now Guan Si is a poor old man who has lost his mind and doesn't even have the ability to take care of himself, how can people move their hands?

Seeing the embarrassment on everyone's faces, Guan Pengju wiped away his tears and said: "You don't have to be embarrassed, since my father has violated the law of the country, how to deal with it should be decided by the government." He had already sent someone to the yamen to invite the prefect Zhou to come, presumably he was almost here at this moment, and everything would be left to the end of the lord at that time. ”

Lord Zhou, prefect, Ye Feng couldn't help but wonder, wasn't he still in a coma after being poisoned?

At this time, Zhang Fatzi raised his head and said in a low voice: "Lord Zhou has been rejuvenated by the girl's rejuvenation skill, and the poison has long been cured, and he has returned to normal this morning and returned to the yamen to deal with official business." It's just that you're drinking high, and you haven't woken up so you don't know. ”

Ye Feng turned his head and glared at him again, and he quickly closed his mouth.

Ye Feng couldn't help but feel extremely impressed by Cheng Nianzhen's medical skills, it seemed that those poisonous poisons of the Five Poison Sect that sounded very bluffing were really understated to be cured under her hands, and they were not put in her eyes at all.

With this turn of his head, Ye Feng caught a glimpse of a round person as fat as Zhang Fatzi on the road below the hillside who was hurrying towards the mountain.

Lanzhou Governor Zhou Ziran, he really arrived!
