Chapter 194 He used to be a fool
Epilepsy is characterized by delusions and falls under the category of schizophrenia. For example, some people often talk to themselves or ask and answer their own questions.
Mania, characterized by agitation and excitement, falls under the category of bipolar disorder, such as Fan Jin in the story of Fan Jin passing the imperial examination.
Epilepsy is the same as epilepsy.
This was a general classification of mental illness from a long time ago; in modern times, it has been divided into more than one hundred mental illnesses.
For example, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, paranoid personality disorder, etc.
However, Liu'er's illness leans towards dementia.
It's not a congenital deficiency, but rather an avoidance self-protection mechanism triggered by strong stimuli.
She's somewhat similar to Qiaoxiu back then.
Lu Qingqing continued, "Her refusal to let those doctors get close was a habitual reaction driven by her inner self, not a genuine mania."
Look how well-behaved she is now.
A hint of pain flashed in Mu Daye's eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, suppressing his emotions, "She's afraid...of men."
So as soon as he heard people talking about the female doctor, he came immediately, even though the rumors were quite outrageous.
Even if Lu Qingqing can't be cured, he thought that even a little bit better would be good enough.
After all, even the doctors in the capital shook their heads, saying that whether he could regain his senses depended on fate.
They even arrogantly told him to divorce his wife and remarry.
Lu Qingqing now understands why Mu Daye goes out when there are fewer people around.
He seemed to trust her somewhat now, so she asked directly, "Do you have children?"
Mu Daye glanced at the woman in alarm, but seeing her intently eating candy, he asked in a low voice with a deep look in his eyes, "It's enough that Doctor Lu is treating the illness, there's no need to ask about this."
"I need to know everything about her past in order to determine what's wrong with her condition and to develop the right treatment plan."
Lu Qingqing's voice was serious, businesslike, and completely professional and mature.
"I also need to remind you that the earlier this disease is treated, the better. If it is left untreated for too long, her mental state will completely deteriorate, and she will become a real idiot."
Mu Daye's face was very ugly. He looked at the seemingly innocent woman with a tearing gaze.
Lu Qingqing wrapped up the red lollipop and handed it to Liu'er, her voice becoming casual and gentle again.
"for you."
Liu'er had already forgotten about the child she had just mentioned, and was a little confused when Lu Qingqing gave her another piece of candy, but she happily accepted it after only a moment.
Then he waved at Mu Daye.
"Is it delicious?" Mu Daye asked in a low voice, trying to hide his emotions.
"tasty."
Mu Daye then looked at Lu Qingqing.
"Dr. Lu, how much is this candy? I'd like to buy more."
"That's all. You can buy them another day after you've made them. These two are for your wife, so they're free."
Just then, someone outside called out to Lu Qingqing.
Several cartloads of medicinal herbs had arrived from the workshop. Lu Yun and the others were too busy to handle everything, so they asked Sixi and Lu Qingqing to go over and help inspect the herbs.
"Okay, that's all for now. You can come back after you've thought it through and decided whether you need treatment. I have to get back to work now."
Lu Qingqing politely asked the person to leave, then locked the door and went to the workshop.
After she left, Liu'er also pulled Mu Daye to follow her.
Mu Daye's feelings were a mixture of joy and confusion.
Back then, it took him more than two months to get her to accept him.
But after just one meeting with Lu Qingqing, she didn't want to leave?
He bought so many candies, but none of them could compare to two candies with sticks attached...
Despite feeling a pang of sadness, he still led Liu'er in that direction.
On the way, they ran into Qiaoxiu, who was also on her way to the workshop.
Mu Daye recognized her at a glance.
That idiot girl trying to scam people!
What are you doing here?
Qiaoxiu's eyes darted around.
"I'm going to see Doctor Lu."
"What do you want with her? Are you sick?"
Qiaoxiu nodded and then shook her head, saying, "I used to be an idiot, but I'm fine now."
"Nonsense!" Mu Daye looked at Qiaoxiu warily.
Although this girl is a bit eccentric, she's definitely not stupid.
It's strange that she always appears in front of them.
"It's true! I used to be locked up at home every day."
"During the day, it's like I'm blind; I can't see anything, and my mind is muddled. Even if someone talks to me, I can't understand them."
But I dream at night, and in my dreams I'm clear about everything, I know everything. The stick that hit me during the day hurts a lot, and in my dream I keep crying and crying..."
Qiaoxiu spoke her true feelings without any pretense.
Mu Daye's face turned deathly pale.
He had also heard Liu'er crying at night...
"Thanks to Dr. Lu, she saved me. She pulled me out of my dream."
Qiaoxiu tilted her head and looked at Liu'er, asking, "Sister, are you like me back then?"
Mu Daye looked at Qiaoxiu with sharp and urgent eyes: "Are you telling the truth? You really were a fool before?"
"Why would I lie to you? I'm from this village, my name is Lu Qiaoxiu, you can just ask anyone!"
After saying that, Qiaoxiu ran away.
Mu Daye stared at her back, his eyes filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
...
The group that came to deliver the medicinal herbs this time were Tian Leshan and the two brothers he had signed a contract with last time. The three of them, along with a few helpers, had just returned from another place with a batch of medicinal herbs.
The medicinal herbs were being weighed and inspected little by little, while the few workers who hadn't yet received their turn chatted idly.
"I dare not go north, things have become chaotic."
"Taxes have been increased in many places in the south."
"I've heard some students say that the capital is unstable and that some people are not convinced by the Ninth Prince."
"There are also rumors that the Ninth Prince framed the former Crown Prince..."
"Thud!" The lollipop in Liu'er's hand fell to the ground.
Mu Daye instinctively reached for it, but immediately realized something was wrong.
"Liu'er?"
"ah--"
Without warning, Liu'er let out a sharp cry and began to run around wildly like a headless fly.
The hat fell off his head, revealing a face contorted with fear.
It was as if something ferocious was chasing her from behind, trying to grab her and tear her apart.
The men stared in astonishment at the scene.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Liu'er!" Mu Daye was also terrified and rushed forward to hug her tightly.
Liu'er struggled desperately, already in a state of frenzy, and bit his arm hard.
They were using all their strength, determined to bite off a piece of his flesh.
Despite the pain, Mu Daye soothed her with his voice, "Liu'er, it's me, Mu Daye. I won't hurt you..."
But Liu'er's fierce face and piercing gaze remained unchanged, and she even let out a wild, beast-like whimper.
"Miss Lu has arrived..."
"Dr. Lu has arrived..."
Mu Daye could no longer hear the surrounding noise; he had never seen Liu'er go mad to this extent.
What exactly happened just now?
He couldn't feel the pain in his arm, but his heart ached!
A soft female voice sounded from the side.
"Looking at this flower, do you think it's beautiful?"
A yellow flower appeared before Liu'er's eyes.
Mu Daye recognized the flower; it was just an ordinary pumpkin flower!
Dr. Lu, what are you doing?
