Chapter 14 PTSD

Yin Shan nodded and told his parents his idea: "At the beginning of the rainstorm, there will still be electricity and internet, so it's not suitable for a big move. We should just stay at home for a while. It's a good time to exercise, and let Wang Lu and Hou Ting exercise as well. We'll start when the internet goes down."

Yin Zhiwen had no objection, then looked at his daughter and asked, "Want a fight?"

Yin Shan became interested and followed Yin Zhiwen to the training ground (the original 2202 was modified). Just as the father and daughter were about to set up their positions, Guan Yunhua suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Yin Shan and the other two looked at Guan Yunhua in confusion, and found that Guan Yunhua ran to the cabinet next to him, opened it, took out the melon seeds and drinks, then sat down next to him, looked at the two women, and raised his chin: "Let's start!"

Yin Zhiwen: It takes less than three minutes to beat a daughter, and you’re still eating melon seeds?

Yin Shan: It only takes a few minutes to deal with a retired soldier, and you’re still eating melon seeds?

The father and daughter twitched their lips, then immediately began to fight. Yin Shan noticed that although her father was a retired soldier and had not trained much in recent years, his punches were fierce and sharp, with no intention of holding back. She knew that her father would not show any mercy to her and was forcing her to use all her strength. She thought her father was curious about what she had learned in her previous life and how she had protected herself.

Thinking of this, Yin Shan decided to use the "wild methods" from his previous life. That's right, Yin Shan was a latecomer and all he learned were killing techniques. He would use whatever method could kill the opponent quickly.

The father and daughter fought fiercely, and Yin Zhiwen grew increasingly frightened as the fight progressed. He had survived countless battles on the battlefield for years, and his daughter's techniques were all deadly. His daughter's techniques were unsystematic, yet many of them were incredibly effective, effectively killing the opponent. A true blow would have been a sure win. Yin Zhiwen, observing the growing bloodlust in Yin Shan's eyes, knew that her past life had profoundly impacted her, and that she must have been deeply troubled in the years following his and Guan Yunhua's "death."

Thinking of this, Yin Zhiwen no longer hesitated, found Yin Shan's weakness, and knocked her to the ground. But he didn't expect that after Yin Shan fell to the ground, she took out a dagger from the space and slashed it at his neck.

Yin Zhiwen reacted quickly and dodged on the spot. Seeing his daughter who seemed to be crazy, Yin Zhiwen felt extremely distressed and could only dodge continuously. At this time, Guan Yunhua saw her daughter pulling out a knife, and saw her husband just dodging with a look of pain on his face. Guan Yunhua shouted: "Shanshan! Shanshan!"

When Yin Shan heard Guan Yunhua calling him, he suddenly came to his senses. Looking at the dagger in his hand, Yin Shan was stunned.

Yin Zhiwen came over and hugged his daughter, comforting her: "Shanshan, don't be afraid. Daddy is here to protect you. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Yin Shan was trembling all over. He was practicing normally with Yin Zhiwen just now. But later on, he couldn't make an attack and Yin Zhiwen seemed to be merciless. Yin Shan was influenced by his memories of his past life and gradually lost himself. He only wanted to kill the person in front of him. Only by killing him would he be safe.

Guan Yunhua rushed over, pushed Yin Zhiwen away, and protected Yin Shan like a hen protecting her calves, and raged at her husband: "You are crazy! Shan Shan has never learned to fight. I saw it clearly from the side, and you showed no mercy at all. What did you do! Do you think she is one of your soldiers? Even if she is your soldier, what did you teach her? Why did you hit her so hard? "

Yin Zhiwen was helpless. Looking at his dazed daughter, he said to Guan Yunhua, "Look at Shanshan. She clearly has post-traumatic stress disorder. We didn't notice it until she woke up. This is our fault as parents."

Guan Yunhua was stunned. She took Yin Shan's hand and slowly comforted her daughter: "Shan Shan, you are tired. Go to sleep for a while. Mom will accompany you."

Hanhan ran over and circled around his owner: What's wrong with the poop scooper?

Yin Shan looked down at Hanhan, as if he had regained his sanity. He squatted down, picked up his son, and returned to his room without saying a word.

Guan Yunhua wanted to chase after him, but Yin Zhiwen reached out to stop her. "With Hanhan and Qixi, pets can awaken the softness in Shanshan's heart. Yunhua, Shanshan must have experienced something very tragic, allowing her to see the darkness of human nature and the endless killing, which is why she is in this state. I just practiced with her and found that all she used were lethal moves. She didn't seek anything else but to kill with one blow. Under the current conditions, we can't find a suitable psychiatrist."

Guan Yunhua said: "Then there is no solution at all?"

Yin Zhiwen said, "There's no effective treatment for ptSd, but from the sparring just now, when I pinned Shanshan to the ground, her first reaction was to pull out her dagger and fight back. Her movements were swift and flawless. If I were an ordinary person, I'd be dead. Her movements were so skillful, as if she'd done them a thousand times. I think she must have experienced this kind of thing frequently and relied on this reaction to escape many disasters."

Yin Zhiwen thought for a moment and said, "Except for me, don't practice with Shanshan. I'll go see how she reacts."

Guan Yunhua thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you. Let's get a small cake. Sweets can make people happy."

Yin Zhiwen nodded, and the couple walked into Yin Shan's room and found Yin Shan petting a cat, with Hanhan lying obediently beside him.

Yin Shan looked at his parents and explained, "I don't know what happened. I just thought that if I didn't beat you, I would die, so I did it subconsciously."

Yin Zhiwen said, "You haven't received any systematic training, and you witnessed the tragic deaths of me and your mother. I don't think it would be easy for you to survive alone, right?"

Yin Shan said, "It was very difficult. I had awakened my superpowers, but they were very weak. Lu Yunchao didn't have any superpowers. I felt that he was my last relative in the world, so I tried my best to protect him and didn't want him to get hurt."

Guan Yunhua wanted to say something, but seeing Yin Shan's expression, he felt that he was more suited to being a listener at this moment, so he listened to Yin Shan continue: "I fought tooth and nail to protect him, spending every day in the midst of slaughter. Later... he sold me to the cannibal village like a two-legged sheep."

Yin Zhiwen stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and cursed: "You beast! I'm going to kill him!"

Guan Yunhua rushed to the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, and the couple turned around and were about to leave.

Yin Shan was stunned and quickly called out to his parents who were losing control: "Leave it to me to kill them. It will take at most half a month."

Yin Shan looked at the kitchen knife in Guan Yunhua's hand and mocked his mother: "National champion, instead of using a bow and arrow, he uses a kitchen knife?"

Guan Yunhua said, "How can a bow and arrow vent my anger? This beast should be chopped to pieces with a single blow!"

Yin Zhiwen had calmed down and told Yin Shan, "According to you, the time will come after the rainstorm. How did you plan it?"

Yin Shan said, "After the rainstorm started, it only took three days for the water to reach the third floor. Lu Yunchao lived on a lower floor, and he didn't have the habit of stockpiling goods. The internet wasn't disconnected by then, but people were already dying. I think Lu Yunchao would have contacted me by then."

Yin Shan paused and continued, "I'll pretend to agree and then tell him I have a speedboat to pick him up."

Yin Zhiwen understood. Yin Shan went to pick him up, and there would be many opportunities to attack on the way back. Besides, Yin Shan had the space, so he could do it without anyone noticing.

But Yin Zhiwen still reminded Yin Shan: "Wang Yun, if you go to pick up Lu Yunchao, Wang Yun will definitely know. This is troublesome. We can kill people, but unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to leave any evidence."

Yin Shan said, "There won't be any evidence. I'll pretend I'm worried about him and go pick him up on the third night of the rainstorm. I won't give him time to react. The power will be out by then, and Lu Yunchao won't have any supplies or charging equipment. Wang Yun will just think Lu Yunchao's phone is dead and won't think anything of it. By the time Wang Yun realizes what's happening, Lu Yunchao's house will be flooded."

Yin Zhiwen said: "Okay, then I'll go with you."

Yin Shan knew that his father was worried that he would lose control, so he agreed and filled a pot of water from Linghu Lake and boiled it. The three of them sat aside and drank tea. At this time, Hanhan and Qixi ran over and looked at the three people's water cups eagerly.

Yin Shan noticed the two little ones' expressions and filled their water bowls with Spirit Lake water. The two little ones quickly gulped down the water. Yin Shan remembered the inscription on the Spirit Lake water that said drinking more would make you immune to all poisons. This was the only explanation. Could it be that the two little ones were poisoned...

At this time, Guan Yunhua said, "Shanshan, you gave us this water before. I also tried pouring some for Hanhan and Qixi. After that, they were not very interested in mineral water. Unless they were extremely thirsty, they would not drink it at all."

Yin Zhiwen said, "Pets react much more sensitively to things than humans. From now on, you should feed them some every day and observe them more."

Yin Shan and the other two discussed it. Since they couldn't go out anyway, Yin Shan called Wang Lu and Hou Ting upstairs. Together with Guan Yunhua, the four of them sat together and listened to Yin Zhiwen talk about some common survival knowledge.
