Chapter 10

On the third day of cohabitation, the two people in the bed and under the bed woke up with more or less headaches.

At noon, Chai Yuening cooked a tomato and egg soup, divided it into two large bowls, soaked the dry biscuits that are cheap, filling and easy to store, and it was very satisfying to eat.

In the afternoon, Chai Yuening estimated the balance in his hand, and estimated how much the goods that Youlan helped to sell would be distributed. Finally, he was relieved, and took Chu Ci to the medical center in the fourth district.

In the medical clinics in the outer city, most of the medical level is not very good. It can even be said that some of the medical staff may not have studied medicine.Especially in the area of ​​trauma, old mercenaries who are quite old and don't want to take risks on the ground, as long as they know how to deal with wounds, they can participate in it.

In the final analysis, the biggest reason is the lack of talents, and there is no choice for medical centers, so they can only prefer to avoid shortages.

After all, everyone knows that the main city is better than the outer city in terms of food, clothing, housing, housing, education and medical care.How many people are desperately trying to get a housing card in the main city for better living conditions, and how many of those really educated people are willing to stay in the outer city?

About Chu Ci's amnesia, Chai Yuening asked people around, and heard that there is a doctor named Zhang in the medical center in the fourth district of the outer city.

Regardless of whether it can be cured or not, Chai Yuening has the mentality that trying is better than doing nothing, and wrote down the name of Dr. Zhang.

It doesn't take much time to go from the sixth district to the fourth district.

Chai Yuening, who had never been to the fourth district, took Chu Ci all the way and searched for it for a long time before finding the medical center in the district in the winding and crowded urban area.

Dr. Zhang is in his eighties, with gray hair. At this age, he is older than the base, but he is still energetic.

After Chu Ci got the number, the old man carefully checked back and forth, waved his hand, and said slowly: "Young man, you are very healthy, go home."

"But she doesn't remember anything." Chai Yuening stood up and added, "It was forgotten half a month ago, not only the memory loss of people and things, but also her knowledge of some common sense and objects. "

Doctor Zhang looked at Chu Ci who was sitting in front of him thoughtfully for a few seconds, pointed at his reading glasses, and asked, "Do you recognize this thing?"

Chu Ci frowned and opened his mouth, as if there was an answer ready to come out, but he couldn't say it.

Doctor Zhang asked again: "What is it used for, do you know?"

Chu Ci: "It allows you to see more clearly."

Dr. Zhang nodded: "This is cognitive amnesia, which is not uncommon. Knowing things but not knowing things, it has no effect on life."

Chai Yuening glanced at Chu Ci, and hurriedly asked: "Can this be cured?"

"You said that she was injured and lost her memory half a month ago, but there is no sign of recent injuries on her forehead or back of her head. If she really suffered brain damage, it is most likely caused by some kind of sound wave interference."

"That……"

"There are ways to cure if you want to. I will give you three directions." Dr. Zhang said slowly, "The first one is to find the source of the sound wave, analyze the frequency, record the amplitude, and carry out stimulation therapy by controlling the variables. But people are in the fog. For those injured in the area, it should be difficult to find the source, but if I find it, I don’t have such good treatment equipment here.”

Chai Yuening: "What about other methods?"

Dr. Zhang: "Second, use what she cares about, familiar people or things, to awaken her past memories bit by bit. This is a gentle therapy."

Chai Yuening: "But she is from Floating Void City and has no acquaintances at the base. Apart from a magnetic identity card, she has no other personal belongings."

Dr. Zhang: "The third, and the easiest way..."

Chai Yuening instantly pricked up her ears.

Dr. Zhang: "The little girl is not crazy or stupid. She looks so clever. It must not take much effort to reshape her cognition. What else do you want? Since there are no problems that affect life, memory or something, just let it be, maybe When I wake up from sleep, I suddenly remember everything.”

Chai Yuening: "..."

Sitting in front of Dr. Zhang, Chu Ci lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, and silently pulled the corner of Chai Yuening's clothes.

Chai Yuening bit her lip and thanked Dr. Zhang.

The moment she walked out of the Fourth District Medical Center, Chai Yuening couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

She felt as if she had met a fortune-teller, who had done the calculations solemnly for a long time, but in the end she could only tell her: "Fate is determined by the sky, there is no need to force it."

"Why do medical students still talk about metaphysics these days." Chai Yuening couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

Chu Ci raised his lips and smiled silently, without any loss in his eyes.

Seeing her, Chai Yuening couldn't help asking, "Aren't you curious about your past?"

Chu Ci thought for a while, and finally gave a soft "hmm".

"Why?"

"You treat me very well, and everyone in the team welcomes me very much. There is nothing wrong now."

Chai Yuening smiled and said, "Then you can see it."

Chu Ci nodded: "Although I can't remember anything, I always feel that my life in the past... should not be as good as it is now."

After hearing this, Chai Yuening couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After a short thought, Chai Yuening asked: "If one day you think about it and find that you in the past are actually doing well, will you go back or stay here?"

Chu Ci pondered for a while, but did not answer Chai Yuening's question, but asked back: "Will you drive me away?"

"No." Chai Yuening said without hesitation, "I just have that small room. If you don't mind, you can stay as long as you want."

She said, walking quickly ahead.

Chai Yuening was quite happy when Chu Ci said he wanted to stay here.

She thought, while it was still early, she should take Chu Ci to buy some change of clothes.

That night, the two randomly found a noodle restaurant outside, and returned home together after filling their stomachs.

When they returned home, they each carried two bags in their hands. Apart from new clothes, there were also some daily necessities that were inconvenient to share with others.

Together, they sorted out the clothes and various daily necessities, making the already small room a little more crowded.

However, Chai Yuening does not reject such crowding.

This overcrowding ended her solitary life and added a long-lost warmth to her small room.

All of a sudden, I have to wash in different order in the morning, I have to cook a double portion of food, and occasionally I have to queue for water.

When you have something in your mind, you can look up and see someone you can talk to.

In order to help Chu Ci regain his normal cognition as soon as possible, Chai Yuening borrowed a few albums from Liandong, and accompanied Chu Ci to look at them for a while every day in his free time.

Half a month ago, she would never have imagined that she would have a day of sitting on the sofa and watching pictures with others.

Time passed, and another week passed in the blink of an eye.

Sure enough, the plan to recover the signal tower was once again announced through the base broadcast to be postponed.

The goods left by the mercenary team at Youlan were sold out, and Chai Yuening got her share of the account, and the days of lounging at home and idling became stable again.

Just three days ago, the simulated ecological zone in the main urban area of ​​the base opened a paid visit to the residents of the outer city.

However, due to too few tickets being released, many residents of outer cities had money but failed to get tickets, so the virtual ecological zone made a second payment for opening.

In the afternoon of the ticket grabbing day, Chai Yuening was lying on the rocking chair next to the coffee table with her eyes closed.

The call signal of the communicator beside the coffee table suddenly rang.

"Captain! Do you want to go to the virtual ecological zone? Lu Qi said he has a friend who can help us get tickets!"

Lonicera's voice came from the communicator. Unlike the slightly calm and soft voice in the past, Lonicera is obviously very excited today.

Lonicera has always been interested in these things, and the albums that Chai Yuening borrowed from her are full of the flowers and trees of the old world, as well as all kinds of birds and animals that have been extinct for many years.

But Chai Yuening has never been interested in those things.

So she yawned: "Is anyone going with you? I won't go if there is one."

"Captain, that's a simulated ecological area. There are many creatures from the old world cultivated in it. Don't you really want to see it?"

"I……"

"Where's Chu Ci? Doesn't she want to see it too?"

Chai Yuening was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Chu Ci who was reading a book.

Chu Ci raised his eyes, looking at Chai Yuening with more curiosity and anticipation.

With this look, Chai Yuening knew that Chu Ci wanted to go.

She thought for a while, and then asked, "How much is this ticket?"

Lonicera: "About five or six hundred?"

Chai Yuening gasped.

Although it was cheaper than she imagined, but she had been away for a while, and she had a lot of expenses recently, and she really couldn't afford the ticket price for two people.

When Chai Yuening was thinking about whether to buy a ticket and let Chu Ci go with Liandong and the others, Chu Ci stood up and walked forward, and said to the communicator: "I won't go."

Lonicera: "Are you sure?"

Chu Ci: "Yes."

Communication terminated.

Chai Yuening tilted her head and looked up at Chu Ci.

Chu Ci: "It's too expensive, I've already caused you a lot of trouble."

Chai Yuening: "I can still afford one, I'm not interested anyway, you can go with Lonicera and the others."

Chu Ci: "If you don't go, I don't want to go."

Chai Yuening pondered for a while, and said, "There is still a chance. When we resume work and have money, I will definitely accompany you."

"Okay." Chu Ci responded, with a smile in his eyes.

She sat back on her small sofa, picked up the book that was upside down on the coffee table, and read it seriously.

The gentle female voice on the base radio also broadcast the content related to the virtual ecological zone.

She said that there is artificial sunlight and moonlight, breeze and drizzle, which simulates the beautiful ecology of the old world, and there are animals and plants in the old world that can no longer be seen on the ground today.

She said that there is the "nature" created by human beings, and the "light" belonging to the base of the dungeon.

She said that the simulated ecological zone is the pursuit of light by human beings, but what human beings will pursue is far more than this.

"Mankind will eventually find light and freedom, return to the ground, and embrace love like a rose."

As she spoke, a piece of beautiful music sounded on the radio.

Chu Ci asked softly: "What are roses?"

Chai Yuening thought for a while, and replied: "Plants in the old world are said to be symbols of love. Anyway, they are already a historical term. There have been no roses in this world for a long time."

"Is there no virtual ecological zone?"

"Nothing."

"Why not?"

"I learned when I was a child that the base biologists announced more than 30 years ago that the cultivation of the last rose seed in human hands, including the floating city, failed."

"Maybe there will be more." Chu Ci said.

Chai Yuening looked at Chu Ci in surprise.

Chu Ci also looked at her.

"The world is so big." Chu Ci said softly, "I'm not sure, but there really are."

Her voice was so soft and lacking in strength, yet one couldn't help but want to believe it.

The world is so big, all kinds of miracles can exist.
