When Jiang Sheng arrived, Ouyang Hao was leaning on the bed.

He felt a little weak because he had been lying down for too long.

"Grandfather, uncle, aunt... why am I here?"

He tried to raise his hand, but failed.

"What's wrong with me? Why am I here? Where are my parents?"

Everyone in the Ouyang family looked at each other, not knowing how to start.

Finally, Jiang Sheng stepped forward and said

"Mr. Ouyang, you have been injured and are now recuperating here. I am the doctor who will treat you."

Ouyang Hao frowned in confusion

"Injured? Did I faint during the provincial examination?"

After saying this, he suddenly asked Ouyang Zhendong excitedly

"Uncle, how did I do in the provincial examination? Did I pass?"

Ouyang Lin whispered in Jiang Sheng's ear

"After Brother Hao returned from the provincial examination, something happened at home."

Jiang Sheng understood that Ouyang Hao might have temporary memory confusion because he had been unconscious for too long.

Seeing that no one in the room was talking, Ouyang Hao suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at Ouyang Zhendong.

"Didn't pass the exam? How come?"

Ouyang Hao was taught by his father himself. He has been studying beside his father since he was a child. Although he is only seventeen years old, he has never failed since he started taking the imperial examinations. He always passes the exams. Although his results are not amazingly good, they are always very close. He is considered a very talented person.

"Grandfather, is it because I failed the exam that my parents didn't come? Are they very disappointed in me?"

When Mr. Ouyang thought of his youngest son and his wife, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

"How could that be? Don't talk nonsense. You are the lifeblood of your parents. They must have been delayed by something, otherwise why wouldn't they come to see you? Besides, you have always been excellent. When have you ever let them down?"

Ouyang Zhendong echoed

"Yes... yes... yes... you have passed the exam. We have checked the list for you. You are now a successful candidate. Your mother was delayed by something. They will come over in a few days. You should rest and recuperate here first. Don't think too much."

A smile flashed across Ouyang Hao's face.

"That's good. I finally lived up to my father's teachings over the years and my mother's expectations. Do they know that I made the list? Are they happy?"

Everyone in the room had different expressions, most of them were secretly bitter, but they all concealed it well. Regarding this matter, everyone tacitly chose to conceal it.

Ouyang Hao's mind is still not clear at the moment, otherwise with his usual cleverness he would have been able to tell that something was wrong.

Ouyang Zhendong said while suppressing his grief

"Happy. They must be so happy that they are silly."

If they were still alive, they would certainly be very happy.

Ouyang Hao smiled embarrassedly

"Uncle, I haven't returned home since I came back from the exam. Please write a letter to my parents and tell them that they don't need to come. I will return home when I am better. This will save them the trouble of traveling back and forth."

Ouyang Zhendong hummed softly

"Okay, I'll write in a minute."

Everyone in the room knew that he had no home, except himself.

Ouyang Zhendong's wife couldn't help herself, so she turned around and walked out, saying as she walked.

"Hao'er just woke up. I'll go make him some porridge. You guys chat."

Ouyang Lin also followed out

"Mom, I'll help you."

Ouyang Hao whispered

"I really miss my aunt's cooking, but..."

He looked around and then said

"Why isn't grandma at home? Did she go to worship Buddha again? Before this exam, I went to Yuntai Mountain to pray for blessings, and I specially asked for a string of Buddhist beads for her. I think they are very good, and she will definitely like them."

Old Master Ouyang's eyes were sore. His wife more than liked it. When she first received it, she treasured it so much that she took it with her every day when she went to the Buddhist temple.

After her youngest son's family encountered an accident, she couldn't bear the blow and followed him. The string of Buddhist beads that her grandson brought back was also buried with her.

That year, not only did he lose his loved one, but he also lost his wife of many years. Even though he had been through a lot, he didn't dare to recall how he managed to get through it.

"When your grandmother comes back, you can give it to her in person, okay?"

"it is good."

Jiang Sheng took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box and poured out a pill.

"You just woke up, so don't talk too much. Take this tranquilizer first."

Ouyang Hao took the pill and swallowed it only after seeing Ouyang Zhendong nodded.

Not long after eating, Ouyang Hao felt a little sleepy. Seeing this, Old Man Ouyang asked everyone to go out and let him have a good rest.

After everyone arrived at the front hall, Ouyang Zhendong asked Jiang Sheng

"Doctor Jiang, why does Haoer seem to have lost his memory?"

Jiang Sheng said softly

"This is very common for people with brain injuries. One reason is that they were in a coma for too long due to the disease in their brain, which caused short-term memory confusion. Another reason is that they were too stimulated, causing them to choose to forget this memory for self-protection. Therefore, their timeline is confused, but the characters and events are all correct."

Mr. Ouyang said distressedly

"So he remembered taking the exam and buying Buddhist beads for his grandmother, but he didn't remember that his family was wiped out and that his parents were no longer around."

"Yes, you can say that. He has just woken up and his body functions are still recovering. So, it is right to keep it secret for the time being. If he is stimulated again, no one knows what will happen."

Ouyang Qing asked softly

"Will Brother Hao remember it on his own?"

Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment

"If it's the first case, then it won't take too long and he should remember it soon. If it's the second case, then it's a way for him to escape reality and protect himself. When it will happen depends on when he is willing to come out of the dream he has created."

After a brief silence in the front hall, Mr. Ouyang sighed and said

"It's good that he's awake now. Don't be impatient for anything else. Just let it go and don't force anything. His health is the most important thing."

"You're right. It's good that the person has woken up. Let everything else take its course. Sometimes forgetting is not necessarily a bad thing."

Old Master Ouyang looked at Jiang Sheng and said

"Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, Hao'er wouldn't have woken up so quickly."

Jiang Sheng said with a smile

"Don't be so polite, old man. I also received the consultation fee. It is my job to cure Young Master Ouyang."

Mr. Ouyang said very generously

"Those are just material possessions. As long as my grandson can be cured, I will spend whatever it takes."

As they were talking, a shout suddenly came from outside.

"Master! Master! The person guarding the bed said that something is wrong with the second young master!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng stood up and ran out.

The Ouyang family followed closely behind.
