As she said, Fifth Brother Mo Chongyuan tried his best to restrain himself from recalling anything when he felt uncomfortable.
However, today's situation was completely different from the past. Mo Chongyuan just instinctively recalled the past about painting the Kitchen God image, and his head started hurting again.
Unlike previous headaches, as soon as the image of the Kitchen God flashed in his mind, his head hurt as if it was about to split open.
This sudden intense pain caught Mo Chongyuan off guard. His handsome and robust features were tightly knitted together.
Seeing her son like this, Old Lady Mo immediately asked with concern, "Chongyuan, is your head hurting again?"
His sisters-in-law also looked at him in shock, because Mo Chongyuan's current state was quite frightening.
His forehead veins were bulging, but still, in order not to worry his mother and the women of the house, Mo Chongyuan said with difficulty, "I'm fine."
Mo Chongyuan was already trying hard not to recall anything about the Kitchen God image, but his head still hurt so badly that he felt like losing control.
Seeing this, Second Sister-in-law panickly ran outside, "I'm going to call Ninth Sister-in-law over!"
When He Zhiran was pulled over by Second Sister-in-law, she saw Mo Chongyuan hugging his head with both hands, his body already convulsing in pain.
Without further ado, He Zhiran quickly took out silver needles from her clothes and inserted them at several of Mo Chongyuan's acupoints.
Before long, Mo Chongyuan quieted down and then passed out.
Old Lady Mo was still worried after seeing her son's condition just now. She asked anxiously,
"He Shi, what exactly is going on with your Fifth Brother?"
Judging solely from taking his pulse, it would be hard to determine Mo Chongyuan's condition at the moment.
"Mother, I need to do further checks on Fifth Brother's condition. I'm going to call my husband over to help."
Of course, her main purpose in asking Mo Jiuye to come over was to provide cover for her to bring Mo Chongyuan into her personal dimension.
Mo Jiuye was receiving building materials delivered at the foot of the mountain. Seeing his wife coming over, he put down what he was doing and went to greet her.
"Ranran, something wrong?"
He Zhiran pulled Mo Jiuye along, "Come back home with me first. Fifth Brother is not doing well. I plan to bring him into my dimension to do some checks."
Nothing more needed to be said. Mo Jiuye understood why his wife called him back.
With so many eyes around the village, Mo Jiuye could not openly use his lightness skill. The couple quickly ran back home hand in hand.
Back in the room, no matter how others wondered about the reason they were not allowed to stay, Mo Jiuye decisively sent everyone out.
After closing the door, he nodded slightly at He Zhiran.
He Zhiran brought Mo Chongyuan into her dimension space. After a quick examination, she reappeared in the room with a delighted expression.
Seeing her expression, Mo Jiuye was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Ranran, is Fifth Brother going to regain his memories?"
He Zhiran smiled and said, "I just helped Fifth Brother do a checkup. I discovered that the blood clots in his head have been almost completely absorbed. If nothing goes wrong, his memories should be able to recover."
Hearing this, Mo Jiuye was overjoyed. He immediately ran out to tell the family the good news.
Soon, Old Lady Mo came back to the room with the women.
Old Lady Mo grabbed He Zhiran's hand excitedly, "Is it true that your Fifth Brother is going to regain his memories?"
He Zhiran held Old Lady Mo's hand in return, "Mother, if nothing goes wrong, Fifth Brother will remember everything when he wakes up."
Standing next to Old Lady Mo, Fifth Sister-In-Law burst into tears when she heard about her husband's condition.
"My husband is finally getting better. Doesn't this mean that he won't feel like a stranger to me anymore in the future?"
Thinking of this, Fifth Sister-In-Law felt extremely aggrieved.
Although her husband was still alive, the two of them had always interacted formally as if they were mere acquaintances. This was completely different from how affectionate he used to be.
Facing the same face as before but without the previous closeness, Fifth Sister-In-Law felt empty inside.
If she didn't know that her husband was so cold because he lost his memories, Fifth Sister-In-Law would have wondered if he had a change of heart.
Now, Ninth Sister-in-law said that after her husband woke up, he would regain his memories. Finally, she could be intimate with her husband again. From now on, they would try their best to have a child or two, and this life would be enough.
Although the examination showed that the blood clots in Fifth Brother's head had been completely absorbed, He Zhiran still did not dare to relax too much.
She kept a close eye on the unconscious man in bed, hoping that everything would go as she had envisioned after Fifth Brother woke up.
After about half a hour, Mo Chongyuan finally opened his eyes.
However, instead of the joyful surprise everyone was waiting for, what greeted them was Mo Chongyuan's extremely pained expression.
Not understanding what was going on, Old Lady Mo went up and gently asked, "Chongyuan, where are you feeling uncomfortable?"
At this moment, Mo Chongyuan's gaze was distant. He did not respond to his mother at all. His consciousness was completely immersed in the pain of the past.
He remembered back then, when he led his men to pursue the remnants of the southern border army, they had accidentally entered a hidden valley.
He watched helplessly as his men were killed by the rain of arrows. Then the warhorse he was riding suddenly went out of control...
Thinking of these, Mo Chongyuan hugged his head again, unwilling to recall that disgraceful past.
However, the more he tried to escape it, the more these scenes appeared, forcing him to face it.
"Ranran, what exactly is going on with Fifth Brother?" Mo Jiuye anxiously asked his wife.
Facing Fifth Brother's state, He Zhiran was also at a loss.
According to her, the results of the advanced equipment's examination in her space couldn't be wrong. Why did Fifth Brother behave like this after waking up?
He Zhiran went up to take Fifth Brother's pulse, but he stubbornly held his head with both hands, completely uncooperative.
Mo Jiuye forcefully grabbed one of his arms and pried it away from his head.
Taking the chance, He Zhiran placed her fingers on Fifth Brother's pulse.
"Fifth Brother's pulse is completely normal."
Not only was it normal, it was also very healthy.
"But judging from Fifth Brother's appearance, it seems like his head is still hurting?" Mo Jiuye asked in puzzlement.
After thinking for a while, He Zhiran speculated: "I suspect that Fifth Brother has recalled some disgraceful memories, which is why he would behave like this."
Disgraceful memories?
In the Mo family's understanding, Mo Chongyuan had an optimistic personality. Also, he didn't encounter anything disgraceful before his "death" in battle.
Could it be the scene when he "died" in battle?
Or maybe after being captured, he suffered some inhuman torture?
These were all just guesses in everyone's minds. Only Mo Chongyuan himself knew the real answers.
Facing this Fifth Brother, even He Zhiran was at a bit of a loss.
Obviously the person was very healthy. She couldn't keep sedating him with needles. That would be completely useless.
Things that have happened in the past cannot be erased by anyone. Overcoming this mental demon could only rely on oneself.
Additionally, there was another method, which was to awaken him through his loved ones.
By loved ones, it naturally referred to the person he considered most important in his life.
