Section 4, Neuropathy, Mental Illness

What? Lin Pingyi was taken aback, thinking to himself, could it be that the EEG results of my son were mistaken? However, despite his doubts, he did not voice them, as they were professionals. If he questioned them, it could be somewhat detrimental to his son's condition

Nurse Xiao responded with a sound, took the sedative from the medication cart, glanced at Lin Yifei, feeling somewhat afraid. Doctor Qin, seeing her fearful expression, walked up to her, sighed, and extended his hand, saying, "Give me the needle"

"How could I not know? I even know about the Song Dynasty," Nurse Xiao suppressed her laughter and said with a serious expression

Clearing his throat, Dr. Qin finally broke the silence, pointing to a shadow on the CT brain image and saying: "This is the brainstem, which is the main trunk of the brain. It is composed of the pons, medulla oblongata, and midbrain. By the way, Mr. Lin, I believe I have mentioned this to you before"

The instruments abroad are indeed more advanced. Dr. Qin shook his head, stating, "I am not privy to the specific circumstances, but from academic exchanges, it seems that there are very few effective methods. You must understand that the human brain is the most complex part of the human body. Currently, medicine can only grasp a general idea; fully uncovering its intricacies may take several hundred years." He smiled wryly and shook his head again, saying, "Perhaps the secrets of the human brain are endless, and whether we will be able to understand them even in several hundred years remains uncertain."

Your attitude is one thing when you talk to me, but you must remember that when Aunt He arrives shortly, you absolutely must not maintain this attitude. Do you know how much your parents care about you? As a man, you should face things with dignity and integrity; avoidance is not a solution

"You have been asleep for eight hundred years?" Nurse Xiao was taken aback and suddenly exclaimed, "Lin Yifei, you are already a university student, an adult. You should know what is right and what is wrong, and what should not cause your parents to worry. You simply had a car accident and then fell into a coma for two days! It is as simple as that. Stop constantly bringing up your so-called Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. Don't you realize how much this worries your parents?"

Dr. Qin slowly said: "Mental illness, also known as insanity, is the result of abnormal brain function. With the current instruments and methods, we are still unable to detect any destructive changes in brain structure."

Zhu Xian Town? Nurse Xiao frowned slightly, "It seems to be in Henan, quite far from here. It takes nearly a day by train, and even by plane, it takes a while."

Xiao Bieli felt a surge of joy in his heart, "So am I currently in the Jin Kingdom or in the Great Song?"

Do you know the location of Zhuxian Town? Xiao Bieli felt unusually tense, his hands clammy with sweat, fearing that she would be completely unaware of it.

"Doctor Qin," He Xiulan could not help but ask, "Does this mean my son is no longer mentally ill?" Her greatest fear was this; if her son lived but did not recognize his parents, it would be almost the same as being dead.

But Doctor Qin, didn't you say that Xiao Fei's brainstem hemorrhage has already healed

In the mirror stood a girl in white, as pure as snow, resembling a silver vase. However, he knew that she was not a silver vase; he did not care who she was, he only wanted to know who he truly was.

Staring blankly at Nurse Xiao in front of him, Xiao Bieli felt a wave of confusion in his heart. After waiting for a long time, seeing him silent, Nurse Xiao finally regained her composure, but also felt somewhat strange, wondering why she had directed such inexplicable anger at him

Dr. Qin pondered for a moment, "Indeed, from the EEG results, his brainstem appears to be no different from that of an ordinary person, which is also the aspect that puzzles me the most"

Where is the silver bottle at this moment

Marshal Yue's great victory over the Jin army at Zhu Xian Town? Xiao Bieli felt a surge of ecstasy; could it be that after his fainting, Marshal Yue had already won? But suddenly sensing something, he asked word by word: "You said several hundred years ago?" His gaze shifted and landed on the calendar above, August 24, 2002, the Year of the Horse, which was a strange way of counting years; he had never known that such a calendar existed

Looking at the inquiring expressions of the two, Dr. Qin smiled wryly and said: "Such brain damage is extremely difficult to treat. Symptoms like headaches, dizziness, irregular sleep, lower limb paralysis, hemiplegia, limb numbness, seizures, coma, and even a vegetative state are common manifestations of neurological disorders, and they generally do not heal on their own. The treatment for this in our country is still in the exploratory stage." He coughed lightly, "In other words, it is in the experimental phase, which means the risks are very high."

There was a slight pause, allowing the two individuals to digest the information. "For instance, head trauma can lead to concussions or contusions; as Lin Yifei initially mentioned, there are also bacterial, fungal, and viral infections that can cause various types of encephalitis or meningitis; congenital or hereditary diseases can result in delayed brain development in children, and hypertension-related cerebral arteriosclerosis can lead to cerebral hemorrhage, among other issues"

Dr. Qin pointed to the images and explained: "Neuropathy is a shorthand for diseases of the nervous system. The nervous system is an important system within the human body, coordinating the functions of various organs to adapt to changes in the external environment, playing a commanding role. Any condition that can damage or disrupt the nervous system can lead to nervous system diseases"

Impossible? What is impossible? Dr. Qin was somewhat puzzled, yet he swiftly administered a sedative injection to Lin Yifei. Performing surgery was a piece of cake for him, and giving injections was even easier.

Xiao Bieli finally came to his senses, realizing that he was not Xiao Bieli at this moment; it seemed that his name was Lin Yifei. He nodded slightly, waiting for her to continue, but his heart raced uncontrollably, not knowing why he felt so anxious

Nurse Xiao was somewhat taken aback; damage to the brainstem is a serious matter. Mild symptoms such as headaches and dizziness can occur, but if the condition worsens, it may lead to instability while walking or even hemiplegia. When Lin Yifei initially suffered from a brainstem hemorrhage, it is no wonder that Dr. Qin remarked that his situation was not optimistic, as there was a significant possibility of him becoming a vegetative state.

It turns out he still hasn't taken to heart what he said. Look, it's again about General Yue, the Jurchens. Shaking his head, he doesn't even know how he spoke so earnestly about it. However, seeing the somewhat sorrowful look in his eyes, Nurse Xiao still replied: "The specific year can only be asked of the history teacher. But you must know, Yue Fei, the Jurchens, the Southern Song, have long since turned to ashes eight hundred years ago"

Can I ask you one last question again? Xiao Bieli finally inquired

He Xiulan's eyes were filled with tears, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but shout, "Xiao Fei is not insane, he is not insane!" The emotions she had been suppressing finally became uncontrollable, and she couldn't help but begin to sob softly.

"What is the difference between friend and foe?" Nurse Xiao chuckled lightly, "Our hospital is dedicated to treating illnesses and saving lives. Even if a robber is injured, as long as they arrive here, we must treat them until they are well, so that the judge can determine the guilt, right?"

Impossible

Xiao Bieli suddenly trembled all over, staring at Doctor Qin for a long while, his gaze gradually revealing an expression of utter shock and horror, "Doctor Qin? Qin Huizhi, is it you?"

"Nervous breakdown? Mental illness?" He Xiu Lan's head nearly doubled in size, "Doctor Qin, what is the difference?"

But having lost his place of refuge and livelihood, how can he face it? Even if he masters unparalleled martial arts, what use is it?

"You are lying!" Xiao Bieli suddenly shouted, "Marshal Yue has always regarded Prime Minister Qin as a brother, and back then he even risked his life to save him. Prime Minister Qin has always been sincere and open with Marshal Yue, discussing everything without reservation. How could he possibly harm Marshal Yue!" He somewhat believed that he had arrived 800 years later, but he could not believe that Qin Huizhi, whom Marshal Yue had always considered an elder brother, could be so ruthless as to poison and kill Yue Fei.

One can regain martial skills after losing them; his martial arts were also acquired through practice. Moreover, he has already grasped the essence of the art of separation. Even if he starts from scratch, he will achieve results with half the effort, and he will not take as many detours as he did in the beginning

Although he could not move in bed, he was still afraid that his son would harm his wife

Parents? Xiao Bieli couldn't help but smile wryly. If it weren't a dream, this joke would be quite serious. He had inexplicably arrived in a strange place, taken over someone else's body, and even gained parents. Yet, he still held onto some hope. Just now, when he inquired, those people regarded him as a madman. This girl, however, was relatively easy to talk to. At this moment, if he didn't get to the bottom of things, how could he be at ease

Surprisingly, Xiao Bieli was merely staring at the ceiling, his gaze somewhat vacant, murmuring to himself, unable to articulate his thoughts. Fortunately, Doctor Qin had keen hearing, but he could only catch the three words that Xiao Bieli kept repeating

Looking at Lin Yifei's face, which was somewhat contorted, and the fierce light that flashed in his eyes, Nurse Xiao suddenly felt a twinge of fear in her heart. Although she knew that the young man on the bed could not possibly jump up to harm himself, she still took a few steps back.

In Dr. Qin's office, he looked solemnly at the CT brain scan of Lin Yifei in his hands, a hint of surprise evident in his eyes. The Lin Ping couple across from him felt somewhat uneasy but did not dare to interrupt his train of thought

However, even in the face of malice, he can only endure passively. At this moment, he is at the mercy of others, like fish on a chopping board, unable to resist.

Zhejiang Qing University? '' Xiao Bieli repeated it once, and said no more

He Xiulan's tears welled up again as she gazed at her son and said, "Xiao Fei, please don't scare your mother. Do you still recognize her?" As she spoke, she was about to step forward when Lin Ping grabbed his wife. The son who had grown up right under his nose now seemed so unfamiliar!

Suddenly, a chill ran through my heart. Is this what they call borrowing a corpse to return to the soul? I have heard that the Yan family in Xiangxi possesses this strange technique. Could it be that they have actually applied it to themselves? When I initially performed the Great Technique of Separating the Soul from the Body, did my soul truly leave my body and attach itself to another? If that is the case, how far is it from here to Zhuxian Town? Will I be able to return in time? I sighed suddenly; I am currently struggling to protect myself, yet I am still considering the situation in Zhuxian Town. It is truly somewhat ridiculous.

Glancing at the electroencephalogram in hand, existing data indicates that mental illness is caused by a disruption in the biochemical processes within the patient's brain, or by an excessive accumulation of certain metabolic byproducts in the brain. Due to the abnormal functioning of the brain in patients with mental illness, these individuals exhibit significant abnormalities in their mental activities, such as inexplicably talking to themselves, displaying uncontrollable laughter or crying, sometimes staring at walls or angrily shouting at empty spaces, and at times appearing disheveled.

"Jin Guo?" Nurse Xiao was momentarily taken aback, then suddenly put away the syringe, laughing so hard that she could hardly stand up straight. "You are really funny. What major are you studying at Zhejiang Qing University? It must be in the drama department, right? You are killing me with laughter."

"Not bad," Dr. Qin nodded and said, "I heard your account over the phone, and later I also listened to Dr. Wang's description of the condition. Initially, I thought Lin Yifei was suffering from a neurological disorder caused by damage to the central nervous system, but I didn't expect that after the new scans came out, I would find out otherwise." He paused slightly, "His brainstem hemorrhage, for some unknown reason, has actually healed."

This text appears to be incomplete or consists solely of symbols. Please provide a complete sentence or text for translation.

There is a sense of regret in my heart, feeling that although I care, it is nonetheless inappropriate for a nurse to lose her temper with a patient, "You say."

After giving Lin Yifei an injection, Dr. Qin finally calmed down a bit. To be honest, when that young man on the hospital bed looked at him just now, for some reason, his heart raced uncontrollably. It felt like a kind of fear, but what was he afraid of? He was just a patient. He had seen patients with more severe mental illnesses than him, so why was he so afraid of this student? But if it wasn't fear, then what was it?

In fact, a good young man aspires to the four corners of the world. Nurse Xiao, fearing that the young man in bed might have dark thoughts, said, "If one can truly have a career of one's own, whether one's appearance is beautiful or not is secondary."

Everything they said was unfamiliar to him; although the tone varied, he could barely understand it. However, this very understanding was pushing him to the brink of collapse. He could comprehend the words, yet he completely did not grasp their meaning

Lin Ping felt a stir in his heart, fortunately, Yi Fei was unaware of the situation; his brain injury had miraculously healed. Otherwise, he and his wife truly would not know what to do. "What about abroad?"

"Wanyan Lie?" Nurse Xiao slightly frowned, "Wanyan? It is a rarely seen surname; I have only heard of it in historical dramas"

The corners of her mouth still held a hint of a smile as Nurse Xiao remarked, "After all, he is a talented individual from Zhejiang University; his words are unlike those of others." Listening to Lin Yifei speak, she found it amusing, as if she were facing an old sage, yet her expression showed no sign of impatience.

I did not study geography very well. By the way, I remember that the place where Yue Fei defeated the Jin soldiers hundreds of years ago is called Zhuxian Town! Nurse Xiao suddenly thought of something, glanced at Lin Yifei, and felt somewhat puzzled. This patient's condition seems quite good; with such severe injuries, most people would be dead. He appears to be gaining more energy as he speaks.

He also had great trust in Qin Hui, could this be the reason for his demise

Xiao Bieli was somewhat taken aback; the term "performing arts" was undoubtedly a new concept for him. "Do you not know about the Jin Kingdom?" Xiao Bieli found it hard to believe.

However, Lin Ping hesitated and said, "What does this have to do with my son?" In fact, he knew that this was closely related to Yi Fei

"Nonsense, of course he is dead." Nurse Xiao found it increasingly amusing despite her irritation, "Even if Yue Fei had not died at the Wind and Wave Pavilion, nor been executed by Qin Hui on baseless charges, it has been over 800 years since then. No one can live for 800 years, and Yue Fei certainly cannot!"

Is it only abroad that such bizarre events occur? How should one explain that the self reflected in the mirror is not truly oneself?

Dr. Qin was taken aback, walked up to Lin Yifei, and said kindly: "Lin Yifei, are you feeling any better?"

Eight hundred years? Even if Xiao Bieli remained calm, he could not help but exclaim in shock: "You are lying to me. You said I slept for eight hundred years? Even if I died and were to be reincarnated, it wouldn't take that long." Yet he clearly understood that he was not reincarnated. Wasn't it said that one must drink a bowl of Meng Po soup after reincarnation to forget everything from their past life? The events that occurred around him felt as if they had happened yesterday; how could this be reincarnation?

Glancing at Nurse Xiao, Xiao Bieli seemed to tremble all over, "What did you say? Marshal Yue is already dead?"

"What about my son?" Lin Ping finally asked, "Is he really mentally ill?"

Nurse Xiao hesitated as she handed over the needle. Dr. Qin took the needle, walked to Lin Yifei's side, rolled up his sleeve, all the while carefully observing his movements, fearing that he might exhibit any extreme behavior

What is a historical drama? Xiao Bieli was taken aback, "The Jin dynasty dominates the northern Central Plains, and the Wanyan surname is everywhere; how can you say it is a rare surname?"

Feeling a slight pain in her arm, a sudden chill coursed through her body. Xiao Bieli stared intently at the syringe and suddenly asked, "Do you know Wanyan Lie?"

Xiao Bieli smiled sadly and said: "Was it really you who killed General Yue back then?" General Yue had countless elite soldiers under his command, and he himself was an exceptionally rare master. If it were said that he died on the battlefield, he would not believe it; however, if it were said that he was harmed by treacherous individuals, he would believe it to some extent. The only reason for this doubt was that General Yue had a flaw: he placed too much trust in Emperor Gaozong

"Well said," Xiao Bieli said slowly, "If it weren't for the confusion between friend and foe, I would want to befriend you just based on these few words. Unfortunately..." Internally, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even if I were to be struck ten or eight times on the head, I would absolutely not take it to heart. Yet now, it feels as if... it feels as if I am inside someone else's body.

I felt a sense of relief that my son had survived a great ordeal, but another kind of disappointment quickly filled my mind

Judge? "" Xiao Bieli repeated it again, what exactly is a judge? From her tone, it seems to be quite similar to a government office.

Regarding trains and airplanes, Xiao Bieli had no concept at all. He did not inquire but patiently listened to what followed

If it were not for his ironclad will, he would have almost gone mad from this incomprehensible situation. This is not a dream; it seems he has arrived in a space that does not belong to the Song Dynasty, neither to the Jin Kingdom, nor to the Mongols, perhaps not even to the Central Plains

Lin Ping nodded in confusion, "Yes, Dr. Qin, you mentioned that Xiao Fei had a brainstem hemorrhage, which was compressing his central nervous system. At that time, you said he no longer had autonomous breathing, but I didn't expect that he would recover later."

Suddenly recalling something, Lin Ping asked: "Doctor Qin, you said my son does not have a mental illness, but you did not rule out the possibility of a mental illness. How do you explain this?"

Nurse Xiao hesitated for a moment and finally said: "He said that Yue Fei and Qin Hui were as close as brothers, and he also mentioned that he has been asleep for eight hundred years. Doctor Qin, his mental state seems to be a bit problematic." Suddenly noticing the Lin couple behind Doctor Qin, her face turned somewhat pale. She regretted bringing it up in front of them, fearing it might provoke Aunt He, even though what she said was the truth; no one could believe that Yue Fei and Qin Hui were as close as brothers.

Nurse Xiao, however, did not notice his pale complexion. She nodded slightly, counting on her fingers, "It has indeed been several hundred years. Back then, it was the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty was overthrown in the year 1234. Although my history is not very good, I do know that Yue Fei must have fought before 1234. But even if we are a bit careless, let us assume the battle took place in 1234. Now, in the year 2002, that would mean it has been six, seven, or eight—right, it should be eight hundred years."

He shook his head slowly, "He is not insane, but that does not prove he does not have a mental illness"

But is it not also the reason for the death of trust in people

The door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and Dr. Qin walked in. He glanced at Lin Yifei on the bed, his expression somewhat puzzled. "Nurse Xiao, what is the matter?"

Nurse Xiao stood quietly to the side, glancing at Dr. Qin from time to time, and then looking at Aunt He. Suddenly, two fierce gazes appeared in her mind, filled with an indescribable despair, causing her heart to tremble uncontrollably

The only crucial point is, what place is this

At this point, Dr. Qin began to understand a bit; it turned out that the person before him regarded himself as Qin Hui. Nurse Xiao was right, and so was Dr. Wang. This young man indeed seemed to have some mental issues, but his knowledge of history was quite good. Few people know that Qin Hui's courtesy name was Huizhi. Although he was aware of it, he was momentarily taken aback when Lin Yifei suddenly mentioned it, furrowing his brow and saying, "Nurse Xiao, prepare the sedative."

I only felt a bit dizzy, and an inexplicable fear surged in my heart

Dr. Qin stood there in a daze, "Who is Qin Huizhi?"

He glanced at the Lin Ping couple and said, "There are many factors that can induce mental illness, such as the fast pace of modern social life, excessive life pressure, and emotional stress." He paused slightly, unsure of how to continue, and looked at Nurse Xiao, who was listening intently and did not notice the hidden meaning in his gaze. He continued, "Heartbreak can also be considered a factor inducing mental illness. Recently, there have been frequent occurrences of depression, mental disorders, and even suicides among students in some universities. These are all serious consequences of long-term mental suppression, leading to disruptions in the biochemical processes in the patients' minds, compounded by a lack of emotional regulation and no outlet for their feelings."

Finally turning his head, Xiao Bieli's gaze fell on the syringe in Nurse Xiao's hand, feeling somewhat puzzled. It seemed that they were indeed treating him, as he felt somewhat better upon waking from his slumber. Although the effect of the injection was weak, it appeared that the needle they had just used on him was indeed without malice.

Nurse Xiao stared at him for a full minute, then suddenly turned her face and said seriously, "Lin Yifei." Seeing that he showed no reaction at all, she expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "Hey, I'm calling you." Although her expression was serious, there was no authoritative demeanor to be seen; perhaps she was just a young girl herself.

I remember... if I am not mistaken, that was. '' Glancing at the calendar, '' that was the eleventh year of Shaoxing, when Marshal Yue achieved a great victory over the Jin army in Zhuxian Town, correct?

I am somewhat worried about this peculiar Lin Yifei, and I wonder what Aunt He will feel when she sees him. Nurse Xiao smiled as she picked up the syringe, "Stop admiring yourself in the mirror, just like a woman. Come on, it's time for your injection."
