After thinking about it carefully, Tang Jianguo realized that it made sense. People are alive, and there's no need to follow the doctor's instructions completely.
So he went to find the large pig cage.
Someone asked curiously, "Secretary, what do you need that big pig cage for?"
Upon learning that Su Shizhong intended to use it to restore his memory, and that he would be taken into the water along with the cage, everyone was filled with curiosity and followed the village secretary.
After finding the large pig cage, Tang Jianguo invited Su Yue and the others to go to the riverbank together.
He also specifically sought out several strong men in the village so that they could pull Su Shizhong up in time in case of any accidents after he went into the water.
Su Yue stood on the bank, holding Ping An tightly, watching with nervous eyes as Su Shizhong was slowly lowered into the river by the crowd.
After about two or three minutes, the pig cage began to shake violently. Su Yue's heart jumped into her throat, and her face was full of worry.
Fu Shen stood in the pig cage near Su Shizhong's head, his eyes fixed on the watch on his wrist, his expression focused and tense.
Once the shaking of the pig cage subsided, Fu Shen realized that less than ten minutes had passed, so he immediately lifted the head of the pig cage with force.
Seeing her father's dying state, Su Yue felt so heartbroken that she couldn't bear to look him in the eye.
When they returned to Tang Jian's house, Zhao Xiulan had already prepared a large pot of steaming ginger water.
Although February and March in the south are not particularly cold, Tang Jianguo still specifically instructed her to boil ginger water to ward off the cold for Su Shizhong and the people who were helping.
After Fu Shen helped Su Shizhong change into dry clothes, Su Yue leaned over the bed and asked with concern, "Dad, how are you feeling? Have you remembered anything?"
Su Shizhong stared blankly at the ceiling, remaining silent.
Su Yue looked up at Fu Shen with a worried expression and asked, "My father... he hasn't gone stupid, has he?"
Fu Shen leaned closer, carefully observing Su Shizhong's eyes, and reassured him, "Don't worry, it won't happen."
He felt that his father was more likely overwhelmed by the sudden influx of memories.
Despite saying she was at ease, Su Yue couldn't put her mind at ease and stayed by Su Shizhong's side the whole time.
She stayed up until midnight, and was so sleepy that her head kept nodding down.
Just then, Su Shizhong slowly turned his head and looked tenderly at the face in front of him that looked exactly like his wife's when she was young.
He knew perfectly well that this was his daughter, Yueyue.
His daughter found him and took him back to his hometown.
But she herself... disregarded her young daughter and jumped into the river without hesitation to save her, causing her so much suffering.
Fu Shen came back and called for Ping An to get up and pee. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Su Shizhong looking at Su Yue.
He said softly, "Father, you're awake."
Hearing Fu Shen's voice, Su Yue was startled awake and looked at her father anxiously, asking, "Father, do you remember?"
Su Shizhong slowly sat up, a relieved smile on his face, and said, "Yueyue, Dad remembers, I remember everything. Dad is sorry..."
As he spoke, his eyes gradually reddened.
Su Yue held her father's hand tightly and comforted him, "It's a good thing that you can remember, Dad. How could you be sorry to me? You don't think about the past, and you don't know what kind of person Jiang Huaidong is. If you had known, you definitely wouldn't have gone down to save him."
Even so, Su Shizhong was still filled with regret.
He didn't know where his sense of "righteousness" came from at the time. His daughter had lost her mother, and he still wanted to be a hero.
When his wife was alive, she once said to him, "I won't stop you from being a hero in the army, but when you come home, I hope you can rein in that 'heroic heart'."
Alas, it's a pity I didn't listen.
