Shen Banxia truly did not expect to see Liu Zhe again in Zhoujiazhuang.
"Dr. Shen, I've come here today to sincerely apologize to you again. I was too presumptuous before."
"The past is the past."
Suddenly, Shen Banxia sensed something was wrong. "You're still doing this because of Zhou Mingjiao?"
Liu Zhe nodded.
Shen Banxia didn't know why this was happening; how come Zhou Mingjiao was also in Liu Zhe's memories?
So where exactly did things go wrong?
Thinking back to the place the little field mouse had taken him, could it be that there was something there that he had forgotten?
"No need, anyway, I didn't take that matter to heart, you don't need to make this special trip," Shen Banxia felt that it was really unnecessary.
However, Liu Zhe's trip did give Shen Banxia some clues about certain things.
"Some things, if they're not resolved, I'll keep them in my heart. Also, why is it that when I ask other people about Zhou Mingjiao, they don't remember her at all? Do you know what happened in between?" Liu Zhe's original intention was to talk to Zhou Mingjiao about the past.
After all, in his memory, Zhou Mingjiao had never truly admitted her mistakes.
As a result, he found that no matter who he asked, they all looked surprised and didn't remember such a person at all. If he didn't know that he wasn't mentally unstable, he would have suspected that the person was just a figment of his imagination.
But obviously, Dr. Shen Banxia knew this, so why didn't the others?
How can someone simply disappear from someone else's memory for no reason?
Liu Zhe's stubborn side resurfaced, but Shen Banxia clearly didn't intend to say anything more.
"Then why do you remember Zhou Mingjiao?" Liu Zhe still wanted to know the answer.
"And you? Why do you remember?" Shen Banxia asked in return.
Liu Zhe couldn't give an answer either. In his opinion, if there was no mistake in his memory, how could he not remember?
Unfortunately, neither the Zhou family nor anyone else in Zhoujiazhuang knew anything about Zhou Mingjiao.
"If you know the answer, could you please tell me?" Liu Zhe couldn't help but ask.
"Let's talk about it later."
Liu Zhe could tell that Dr. Shen didn't want to deal with him. Although he still wanted to know the answer, he didn't want to be disliked, so he said goodbye and left.
After Liu Zhe left, Shen Banxia found Zhou Mingqian and said, "Why don't we go to the back mountain?"
"good".
When Shen Banxia arrived at the place where the little field mouse had picked Asarum, she did not find anything different. Could it be that she had guessed wrong?
Disappointed at not finding the herbs she wanted, Shen Banxia knew that some things were simply unattainable.
When Shen Banxia got home, she found that Liu Zhe had come over again.
Zhou Mingqian's face darkened, and he asked without any politeness, "What are you doing here again?"
Liu Zhe looked at Shen Banxia and said, "Dr. Shen, after I went back and thought about it carefully, I realized that I had eaten an unknown fruit. It looks a bit like a bitter chinaberry, but it's not. I remember it had yellow velvety flowers."
Shen Banxia thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.
"By the way, that tree has square stems and round leaves," he said, scratching his head. "I thought the fruit looked pretty good, so I ate one, but it didn't taste like anything, so I stopped eating it."
As Shen Banxia listened to his description, it sounded more and more like something called the elm tree that the little field mouse had mentioned before. But wasn't that something from mythology?
Suddenly, Shen Banxia remembered that she already had Asarum and Ghost Grass, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Ligustrum lucidum appeared.
Ugh, what's so surprising about this? What's going on here?
The "light screen script" that appeared out of nowhere the night before, and then they disappeared again to save the baby. Now, the herbs that appear in mythology are appearing one after another. What does all this mean?
Shen Banxia, an ordinary person, always felt that these kinds of mythological things contained some unknown secrets hidden in the distance.
But unfortunately, he couldn't find the right way to get started.
"Can you take me to see that tree?" Shen Banxia asked Liu Zhe.
"Of course, it's on the back hill," Liu Zhe said, remembering the flower because he thought it was pretty.
Without further ado, Shen Banxia led Zhou Mingqian and followed behind Liu Zhe. Good heavens, they were actually not far from the place where they found Du Heng and Guicao, but when they came to find them, it was as if they encountered a "ghost wall".
Now, under Liu Zhe's guidance, they have found it directly.
As Liu Zhe described, not only that, but it also yielded results.
Thinking about the uses of the pistachio fruit, Shen Banxia wanted to pick some to try, but to her surprise, she couldn't pick them.
Shen Banxia gestured to Zhou Mingqian, but Zhou Mingqian also did not remove it.
The couple looked at Liu Zhe at the same time.
Liu Zhe also tried it, and as expected, he didn't succeed either.
"Huh? How could this be? I could have just reached out and picked it before, why can't I now?" Liu Zhe became increasingly curious.
But no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get it off.
Liu Zhe became interested and suggested, "How about we try it with a knife?"
Zhou Mingqian took out a machete from his basket and started chopping with his bare hands, which actually sparked.
Now, there's really no way to get help from them.
"How about we try using fire?" Liu Zhe suggested again.
Zhou Mingqian nodded, but in this freezing weather, he still needed to go home to get some firewood.
Even after it was brought up, it still didn't work.
It really is impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and spears. Yes, after using fire, they also used water, but it was of no use at all.
Now, Liu Zhe, who was originally planning to leave, is ready to settle down in Zhoujiazhuang.
Shen Banxia wanted to study it, but she still had things to do in Kyoto.
The successful development of antidepressants gave her another idea: Du Heng could cure the tumor on her neck.
However, there is another point: it also has an inhibitory effect on cancerous cells.
Considering how difficult cancer is to treat, and now that such a drug is available, she doesn't want to wait any longer.
However, the fruit of the privet tree also has the effect of enhancing memory and making people remember things they see. For Shen Banxia, the temptation is also very strong. She is in a dilemma, but there is a balance to be made.
After the New Year, Shen Banxia and her family left Zhoujiazhuang, but Liu Zhe stayed. He said he would contact her once he found a solution.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Banxia told him that Zhang Chunhong also remembered Zhou Mingjiao's story.
Liu Zhe was overjoyed.
After returning to Kyoto, the couple went about their own business.
As for Zai Zai, she was relieved to stay with Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen.
As for Zhou Rui, he has his own things to do.
What Shen Banxia didn't know was that her research had been attracting attention all along.
