Chapter 208 Mental illness? I have a solution!
Seeing the "village guardian" in front of them, Zhang Hao and Li Siyu both had expressions of helplessness and regret on their faces.
Originally, this fool could have become an ordinary person, and he should have been an ordinary person, like a villager, working in the fields, getting married and having children, and living like a normal person.
However, how can a fool live an ordinary life.
Although this fool was able to rely on the help of the people in the village to survive starvation because of the legend of the "village keeper", it is also a very sad thing to live like this. It is hard to imagine how this fool will survive. Such a life.
The most important thing is that if after the old people in the village leave, there will be fewer and fewer young people in the village. In more than ten years or decades, the entire village may be empty. No one will care about this fool anymore.
And a situation like this "village guardian" must exist in every village.
This is the saddest and most heart-wrenching thing.
"Sister Fairy, okay, so beautiful..."
While the two of them were thinking, the fool had already moved slowly and came not far in front of the two of them.
The fool did not step forward, but stood a distance away from the two of them. Then, he looked at Li Siyu smiling foolishly, his mouth was a little unclear, but it could be heard that his praise was not obscene, but Praise from the heart.
Moreover, this fool's eyes were very clean, with no other emotions contained in them at all. They were even purer than the eyes of some children.
After all, he is just a fool, and his IQ may be that of a child, not as much as others think.
Li Siyu sighed softly, smiled and said hello: "Thank you."
The fool has no name, and no one wants to give him a name. Anyway, for so many years, everyone has been calling him fool, fool, and the fool never refutes, only laughs.
Maybe over time, the fool also thinks that "idiot" is his name.
But Li Siyu didn't want to call him that. It wasn't that she was noble, she just wanted to treat idiots with mental problems equally.
"Well, the fairy sister is still pretty...hehe." The fool glanced at Zhang Hao, then immediately shifted his gaze to Li Siyu, biting his finger.
Li Siyu smiled.
Zhang Hao smiled helplessly. This fool was not stupid at all. He could still tell who looked good and who looked bad.
Isn't this just saying that I am not as good-looking as Li Siyu?
However, Zhang Hao wouldn't care about it. After all, who would care about a fool.
"Sister Fairy, eat candy... eat candy, aunties, aunties said, this is delicious, delicious, you, try it."
At this time, the fool stepped forward cautiously, holding a piece of candy wrapped in wrapping paper in both hands.
This piece of candy looks like it has been for many years. At least Zhang Hao has not seen such a candy wrapper for a long time. Moreover, the wrapper of this piece of candy can also be felt to have many wrinkles. At first glance, it looks like a fool often rubs it.
Maybe, this was the candy someone gave him a long time ago, but he was reluctant to eat it and kept it until now. But now, after seeing Li Siyu, this fool actually took the candy out and gave it to Li Siyu.
Li Siyu saw the piece of candy held by the fool and smiled happily: "I used to... give him some food occasionally, and he also helped me with a lot of work. Sometimes I worked in the fields. , when he needs to move something, he will come and help.”
Li Siyu took the candy, looked at Zhang Hao, and explained.
Zhang Hao nodded thoughtfully, watching the fool look happy after Li Siyu took the candy.
It was happiness from the bottom of my heart, and it was unabashed.
This kind of happiness cannot be acted out. You can even feel that kind of happiness in the air and atmosphere around you.
"He's actually... really pitiful." Li Siyu rubbed the piece of candy with both hands, looked down, then looked up at the fool.
After giving the candy, the fool immediately retreated, always keeping a distance from the two of them, neither close nor far.
Maybe he knew that he had a smell on his body and was afraid that it would smell to the two of them. Maybe he knew that he was different from normal people, so he didn't want to stand with them.
But no matter how you say it, this shows that this is a fool who knows how to measure and will not offend others.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao sighed deeply.
What kind of encounter could make a fool become like this?
This is the first time Zhang Hao has seen this fool in the village. After all, every time he goes hiking in the mountains, he goes out early and comes home late. He usually doesn't go to the ground. He is often busy with his own things and doesn't pay attention at all. There is a fool in the village who just knows.
I have to say that this first time meeting, this fool left a very good impression on him.
"Goodbye, fairy sister."
While the two were talking, the fool waved his hands towards them, with a smile on his face, and then limped along the asphalt road in front of him and continued walking towards the village.
The two of them turned their heads silently, watching the fool's leaving figure. Finally, they both looked at the candy in Li Siyu's hand.
"Xiaohao, Siyu, where are you going?"
Facing them, several ladies carrying vegetable baskets and preparing to go home to cook came over. When they saw Zhang Hao and Li Siyu, they said hello.
"We are going to Aunt Li's house. She asked us to have dinner." Zhang Hao explained casually.
Then, he turned his head, looked at the fool who had walked away behind him, and sighed.
Several ladies looked at his expression, and one of them followed the words and said: "Xiao Hao, is this the first time you have seen this fool?"
Another aunt waved her hands quickly: "How is it possible? They all live in the same village. How can Xiaohao not see him?"
Zhang Hao smiled helplessly, nodded and said: "This is indeed the first time I saw him. I just walked in the mountains before and didn't have time to wander around the village for too long. It's a coincidence. I really haven't seen him before. Him.”
Only then did the ladies suddenly realize.
"Oh, that's a good boy. He even knows how to help me with my work. If it weren't for... Oh, if there wasn't something wrong with his brain, maybe he would be living a good life now." An aunt said with regret. "Who says otherwise? If he is a normal person, good-looking, and knows how to help others, he is a good boy. Who would not want to marry his daughter to him, but now... Oh, don't say that Once you have a wife, it will be difficult to live on your own," another lady sighed.
Li Siyu pursed her lips and sighed: "But he is the village guard, so everyone can take care of him."
"Hey, isn't this just because everyone can take care of him and call him a village guardian?"
"But this is also the fate of this child. There is no way. He has been like this since he was born. What can be done? It's not like I haven't been to the hospital. The doctors can't do anything. Who can do anything? Oh, let me see, this child will never be able to do anything. That’s it.”
"It's such a pity. If medicine had been more advanced back then, maybe this child wouldn't have become like this."
The ladies chatted with each other.
Zhang Hao and Li Siyu were listening on the sidelines.
But the more he listened, the more interested Zhang Hao became, and the more he felt that something was not right, so he asked: "Isn't he just stupid from birth?"
He has somewhat forgotten about these things. After all, it has been too long. When he was a child, he would not care about these things at all, let alone ask about these things deliberately.
Li Siyu thought for a moment, nodded, and shook his head: "It seems that you are not stupid since you were born, right?"
"No?" Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes, a little surprised.
Immediately an aunt took over the conversation: "Siyu, you remember wrongly, he has actually been stupid since he was born."
"That's right. When his mother gave birth to him, everything went smoothly. Then when the child was born, he could only smile and not cry." Another aunt hurriedly agreed.
"I know this. At that time, didn't everyone in the village think that he was extraordinary and would definitely become a big shot in the future?" Zhang Hao continued.
The aunt nodded: "That's true, but later, everyone discovered that he was not unusual, but that he could only laugh and not cry at all. At that time, he seemed to have been taken to the hospital for treatment. At that time... at that time What did the doctor say, a congenital mental illness?”
"He also said that his brain development is actually normal, but I don't remember the specific reason, which caused his IQ development to only stay before the age of 4."
"Low intelligence?" Zhang Hao asked.
Li Siyu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I remembered that he was not simply mentally retarded, but had some kind of mental illness that caused all of this."
"It was because of some kind of illness, it was mental illness. Anyway, his parents passed away one after another, so no one took him to the hospital for check-ups. As time went by, everyone said that he was the guardian of the village and slowly helped him. He lives like this.”
"Oh, poor child, did the doctor say at that time that it couldn't be cured at all? Or did he say that there was a chance, but it couldn't be cured with the current medical level?"
"I also forgot. Anyway, this child's life is quite hard. If he had parents alive, at least he could be taken care of. But who knows, his parents died so early, alas."
"This is fate, and no one can escape it."
The ladies were still chatting, and for a moment they forgot to go home and cook. They all looked at the place where the fool left and sighed several times.
"Mental illness..." Zhang Hao chewed on this sentence, and the expression on his face became solemn.
If it is mental illness that causes a fool to become a fool, that does not mean that there is no hope of recovery at all.
He now...has [Piano Insect]!
[Qin Chong] is used to treat mental illness!
If what the ladies said is correct, when I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor assured me that the fool was suffering from some kind of mental illness, which caused him to become a fool, then you can give [Piano Insect] a try !
In ancient times, it was also recorded in the "Illustrated Records of Traveling in the Mountains" that "Lin Chong" can be used to treat all mental diseases. As long as it is related to mental diseases, "Lin Chong" is effective as a medicine. .
After all, according to traditional Chinese medicine, although there are many types of mental diseases, the root causes are roughly the same and there is not much difference. The root cause of the disease lies in the brain.
Therefore, in Zhang Hao's opinion, [Qin Chong] might actually be able to cure fools and make fools become normal people!
"Oh, I still have to go home and cook!"
At this time, an old woman exclaimed, carrying a basket, saying hello to others and hurried home.
The same was true for the other ladies. After being reminded, they also remembered to go home and cook. After saying hello to Zhang Hao and Li Siyu, they left in a hurry.
On the street, only Zhang Hao and Li Siyu were left.
The two looked at each other, and then at the same time looked at the candy given to her by the fool in Li Siyu's hand.
"The fool is really generous in taking action." Zhang Hao said with emotion.
Li Siyu was stunned, raised his head, and looked at him doubtfully.
Zhang Hao explained with a smile: "Look at the wrinkles on the candy paper, it seems that it has been rubbed by a fool for a long time. It may have been in my hand for a long time without being willing to eat it. After seeing you today, I gave the candy to you. ”
"Also, he is a fool, and he usually has no one to take care of him. It would be nice to have a piece of candy to eat during the holidays, but he has kept it until now."
"Do you think this candy is expensive?"
Li Siyu pursed her lips and nodded: "Yes."
"So, we have to give the fool a gift in return." Zhang Hao said with a smile.
Li Siyu tilted her head, obviously not understanding what Zhang Hao meant: "Return gift? What gift are you going to give him in return?"
"Great gift." A confident smile appeared on Zhang Hao's face: "I can't return it for the time being. It may take some time."
"However, it shouldn't take long for this great gift to come."
Li Siyu looked at him, paused for a moment, then reacted, and asked tentatively: "Do you have a way to cure a fool's mental illness?"
Zhang Hao turned his head and looked at her a little surprised, but also a little happy. He nodded and shook his head: "I'm not sure whether it will work or not, I just have this idea."
