Simon fell into deep thought. Xiao Hei was indeed... a big trouble.
His turbulent energy in the demonic realm is definitely a major nuisance, but isn't he still unconscious? The last time we treated him, it was an emergency, so we didn't agree on treatment rules. Perhaps it would be a good idea to define the responsibilities, rights, and obligations of both parties next time.
Rules are also important for patients. Good rules will make them feel safe!
Patients should be made clear that during treatment time, they can speak freely, as this is necessary for treatment; however, outside of treatment time, for the sake of their physical and mental health, it is best to have less contact with the psychologist.
Simon began to catch Light Blue typing on the keyboard and construct a series of rules for carrying out psychotherapy in primitive tribes.
However, even Simon, a psychiatrist, underestimated some things.
He thought that humans were at least more reasonable, more disciplined, and easier to communicate with than monsters.
As it turns out... he was so wrong!
Humans are no more reasonable than monsters! Humans are no easier to communicate with than monsters!
Just as Simon conducted a series of investigations on the young patriarch Nie, learned about her growth from her relatives and friends, and made more than ten inferences about the causes of the disease, and prepared treatment rules for primitive people, he was blocked by a group of people at his residence.
Because these primitive people were tribes united by blood ties, and their marriage method had evolved to the level of exogamy, men and women in the tribe lived separately.
Female members of the tribe lived with their mothers until they reached adulthood. After their first period, they were considered adults and had their own small house, which was the same small house Simon saw when he first arrived.
As the male members of the tribe did not need to have and raise children, after they became adults, they built a large shed on the east side of the tribe, and all the adult males slept in a dormitory.
What? A grown man doesn't even have a house! How can he get married and have kids?
Qianlan came out in time to highlight the key points and put them on the blackboard - in this matriarchal society, dear teacher Simon, you are just thousands of sperms doing hard labor, so save yourself some energy!
The ignorant Simon couldn't accept this setting at first. At least he couldn't accept living with a group of grown men and having a strong thigh rest on his belly in the middle of the night.
But the old patriarch knocked his cane and said righteously: "Can you give birth to a child? If you can't give birth to a child, what do you need a house for?"
Simon was speechless. What the old patriarch said made so much sense that he couldn't refuse!
But he still wanted to fight for the house, so he pointed at the unconscious Xiao Hei and said: "Why can my cat have a house but I can't! He is a male cat!!"
The old patriarch used his walking stick to hit the ground so hard that it almost broke. "What do you mean, your cat? Is that a cat? Have you ever seen a cat this big?!"
Simon: "Then what do you say he is!"
The old patriarch looked at the sleeping giant black cat with admiration and love. The black cat was as big as a small mountain. Not only was its black fur shiny and smooth, but it was also shaking slightly in the breeze.
The old patriarch smiled. "That's not a cat! That's the sacred object of our Nie clan! It's settled. It's our totem, our god! How dare you, a man who can't have children, compete with a god?"
Simon was completely defeated. Although psychologists also make a living with their brains and mouths, their careful thinking, rigorous logic and eloquence could not compare with the old chief of the primitive tribe.
So, Simon had no choice but to accept this setting and squeezed with a group of big men for a whole night. Just when he felt a little more adapted and was about to go out to find the young patriarch Nie, he was blocked by a group of people.
Those people looked like they were celebrating a festival, with shells hanging around their necks and garlands on their heads. The smiles on their faces could barely be described as happy, but their smiles were extremely strange!
Of course, the weirdest thing was a group of men and women, all wearing grass skirts. Some women were too lazy to even wear grass skirts on the upper body, and just let their bare chests dangle back and forth, making Simon, a modern man, very embarrassed.
"Are you...is this...a festival for your tribe?" Simon asked speculatively.
The crowd didn't answer him at all, but just made way to both sides.
The old patriarch stood at the end of the road with a cane, and beside her was the young patriarch who had recovered to normal.
Young Clan Leader Nie looked well-rested, her hair neatly combed and her face clean, with a flame-shaped painting on it. She was dressed in her best attire, with a wreath around her neck, her eyes sparkling as she smiled at Simon.
Simon naturally smiled back at her.
And then... the next second, Simon couldn't laugh anymore.
"Hello, Simon, I have decided to let you stay, marry me and have children!" Nie walked to Simon and waved his hand generously, and a group of people around him cheered.
The gods descended with earth-shaking cheers.
Simon: "Will you listen to me? First of all, I can stay, but it's to treat your illness. Marriage and having children are out of the question."
Nie Jiao smiled coquettishly and said generously: "Don't be embarrassed, I know you love me very much. We can have many, many children and run around the mountains."
Simon thought: All the children running around the mountain were caught and eaten by the black cat, without even a bone or a scrap left!
The young psychiatrist maintained a serious expression and a calm voice, though of course he felt a bit guilty. "That's impossible. I'll say it again. You can stay, I can treat you, and you can tell me anything you want. But first, you have to pay, second, you have to keep the time, and third..."
Before he could finish the third agreement, Nie suddenly fell to the ground with a thud and lost consciousness.
Everyone was stunned, and then everyone's eyes were directed at Simon in unison, with cold brows.
Simon: ... (Can we please not be so engrossed in the drama? Fainting in the middle of a conversation is really a bit of a stunt!)
Simon quickly went up and pinched the Ren Zhong point, poured cold water into the patient, and almost gave him artificial respiration.
Finally, the experienced old patriarch whispered in Nie's ear: "He agreed to marry you!"
Nie's eyes flickered, then snapped open. Nie stood up unsteadily: "What just happened? Who wants to marry me?"
Simon: "No! I didn't agree!"
Nie fainted again, it was like acting! However, Simon knew that this was not acting, this really was one of those diseases that looked like full-fledged acting!
Everyone looked at him coldly.
Simon had no choice: "Okay, get up, I'll think about this."
The young patriarch scrambled to his feet, clutching his head in confusion. "What just happened? Why am I here?"
Simon is still trying to save the situation: "I plan to meet once a day for an hour at this stage..."
Nie had no idea what had just happened and asked blankly, "What are you meeting for? Discussing marriage?"
Someone was quick-witted and had already moved a soft straw mat next to the young patriarch, specifically for him to use when he fainted.
Simon: ...
Just go for it!
Simon asked: "Okay, tell me, how do you want to get married?"
Everyone watched with great interest, and the old patriarch listened attentively.
Nie started to imagine all kinds of weddings, which was simply amazing!
They got married once in a temple, once in a river, and once while hunting. The most outrageous thing was that they went to a cave of another group of cavemen, drove that group out, and then got married again while standing on the fruits of victory.
Simon tried hard to ignore the crowd and the various wedding positions, and listened carefully to Nie's various fantasies.
Then as he listened, he suddenly discovered a very serious problem.
Then, he delivered the fatal blow as a psychiatrist: "You just talked about getting married for a long time, but didn't mention the wedding night. Hey! Hey! Don't avoid the question. Why do you only imagine the wedding ceremony but not the wedding night? Do you really want to marry me? Do you even know what marriage is?"
Everyone started to boo, and the old patriarch turned around and said triumphantly, "See, see! I knew that young men only have those kinds of thoughts in their heads! They have no brains at all!"
The group of young men watching on the side nodded together, saying, "We are indeed simple, crude and brainless"~!
Simon waved to everyone, made a quiet gesture, and waited for Nie to answer.
Nie looked at Simon, but his eyes passed through Simon and fell on some unknown space.
She murmured, "Yes, when I think about being able to stand with you and declaring that we will be together forever, I am very satisfied... I don't want to do anything else!"
Everyone looked at the young patriarch, then at Simon, with constipated expressions on their faces. Several young men who had a crush on the young patriarch subconsciously stepped back; they didn't want this kind of marriage at all!
Simon breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of narcissistic satisfaction.
What a great psychologist I am! In such a chaotic and complicated environment, when personal safety is threatened, I can still penetrate the fog of words, get to the core of the problem, raise key questions, and trigger patients' thinking!
Normally, at this point, the diagnosis and treatment is basically over, and the patient needs to think about the remaining questions after returning home, and then through this thinking and reflection, understand what exactly is wrong with his illness.
Ultimately, mental illness must be treated with the patient's own heart. The doctor is simply telling the patient, "Hey, there seems to be something wrong with your heart!" Ultimately, it's the patient's decision to explain why, and whether or not to heal the mental illness.
So, Simon decided to call it a day: "Let's call it a day then? Same time tomorrow..."
However, at this moment, there was suddenly a commotion outside.
A strong man rushed in with a short arrow stuck in his back. The two purple pheasant feathers on the arrow tail fluttered in the wind.
The man rushed in and fell to the ground with a thud, shouting with his last bit of strength: "Chief, it's bad! The people from the cave are attacking us!!"
"What?!" Simon stood up quickly, with a very ominous premonition in his heart.
For no reason, the words that Zibai Zhenren had said back then flashed through his mind: "That's right! I am the legendary caveman!"
Simon rushed out of the house and looked into the distance.
In the distance, a muscular man wearing a grass skirt and holding a whisk was sitting in the center of the air.
On either side of him stood a man and a woman, also wearing grass skirts.
Zhao Lingling and Yue Ai!
Not only did he and Xiao Hei come here, but Master Zibai also came here with his junior sister Painted Skin and his wife from his previous life, now her boyfriend Yue Ai!
Regarding this matter, the young clan leader also slowly came out.
Although she became crazy after she fell ill, she was a symbol of wisdom and courage before she fell ill. She led her tribe in many battles and defeated the scum in the cave on the top of the mountain many times.
At this moment, she stood with her back straight, holding a spear in her left hand and a shield in her right hand. She was wearing armor made of animal scales and a helmet made of tiger teeth. She walked step by step to Simon's side, like a heroic female war god!
A group of young men followed her, picking up their weapons and preparing for battle.
Simon turned his head to look at Nie and said, "It's useless. You can't beat Master Zibai! He is a cultivator!"
Nie nodded slowly, feeling obliged to say, "You're right! So, we have to get married first!"
