On the semi-old passenger ship, there were only four people sitting in the open cabin. The boatman was a tall and strong man who charged several times the charter fee. The gear teeth made a loud clicking sound, and the bow of the ship broke through the waves and moved forward slowly.

It was rare to see drizzle, the sun was shining, and the spring breeze came blowing with the salty smell of sea water. Li Ru'an leaned on the railing and looked at the island that was gradually visible in the distance.

On the small pier of Beidao gathered some fishermen carrying bamboo baskets and waiting for the passenger boat. Seeing that only four people got off the boat, they secretly marveled at the dazzling appearance of the few people, but they were not surprised, most likely it was the young masters from the city who came here to play again.

The island faces the sea on all sides, green and lush, flowers are fragrant and birds are singing, and it is quiet and comfortable. A few people walk around a spacious uphill and watch it. Some scattered villages are scattered along the roadside. Soon, they saw the magnificent building at the highest point of the island. The restaurant, built with trees, is open on all sides, where you can enjoy a whole fish feast and enjoy the scenery of the surrounding sea, which is extraordinarily wild.

The owner of the Haiyan Building is a resolute middle-aged man, standing next to a thin woman, who is waiting under the eaves in person, seeing the four people with bright eyes, and hurried to meet them.

"My lord is here, I thought I would wait until noon."

"Uncle Zhong, Aunt Fang, long time no see." Xiao Huan smiled and nodded towards the two with a familiar attitude.

"Father, mother."

Li Ru'an raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Yi Xing and approached the two with a smile, the woman's gray face was filled with excitement, she nodded and pulled her son to look him up and down, with tears in her eyes.

"Good boy, he's grown a lot!" Mr. Yi patted his son on the shoulder, smiled gratifiedly, and turned to look at Yan Mo, "The last time my son came here with Mrs. Nanlinghou, Mrs. said that you should get married in the next year, but Which lady have you settled on?"

"Uncle Zhong, I'm embarrassed enough to hide from my mother, so why don't you make fun of me?" Yan Mo sighed resentfully.

"Haha, okay, don't mention it."

"Surely this is Mr. Li, the god of war, right? He is young and handsome, and he has a good-looking talent. Yi Zhong has admired his name for a long time, and he is deeply impressed!" Yi Zhong's eyes fell on the handsome and unparalleled young master, he secretly praised him, and cupped his hands with a hearty smile.

"Uncle Zhong is absurd." Li Ru'an bowed his hands in return.

"Mother, my son really misses your fish soup, so I want to drink a few bowls today!" Yi Xing held his mother's hand and smiled brightly.

Luo Fang nodded again and again, with a joyful and excited expression.

"How can I miss your food? Yesterday, when I heard that you were coming, your mother went to choose the best fresh fish before dawn. You have been busy all morning. Wang Ye, Mr. Yan, Mr. Li, please come in! "Yi Zhong smiled heartily, and led several people up to the pavilion on the second floor.

"Uncle Zhong, don't hide those jars of green bamboo wine anymore." Yan Mo teased with a smirk, and said to Li Ru'an, "The green bamboo wine brewed by Uncle Zhong is a must, you have to taste it carefully."

"I know you're thinking about this, okay, I'm happy today, fully open! You sit down first, and I'll go take care of it." Yi Zhong laughed, turned and went downstairs side by side with his wife.

Xiao Huan frowned and glanced at Yan Mo, staring at Li Ru'an who had bright eyes, and said in a deep voice, "No drinking."

"Hey, Xiao Jizhi, you're going too far. Ruhua is wearing men's clothing today, so it's harmless to have a drink." Seeing this, Yan Mo yelled to fight the injustice.

"Just three cups." Li Ru'an stretched out three fingers, seeing that Xiao Huan's face was still dark, he hesitated to snap off one, "Then, two cups?"

"A glass." Xiao Huan swept across her lips warningly, his black eyes glistening.

Li Ru'an lowered his face, this guy only knows how to do this now, if he finds an opportunity, he will hug her and nibble on her, his skills are perfect.

After the naughty joke, Li Ru'an turned to look at Yi Xing, who was undisturbed and happy, and asked, "Your mother, what's going on?"

Yi Xing froze, and suddenly got up and knelt down, with guilt on his face, "Girl, in fact, my subordinates begged the general for today's trip, and wanted you to come and show my mother. I didn't inform the girl in advance, I hope the girl forgive crime."

"Get up and sit down to talk, I've been back for so long, why did I say it now?" Li Ru'an frowned and looked at Xiao Huan, she had never heard about Yi Xing's mother being mute, she only knew that his elder brother was Yi Feng.

Yi Xing sat back on the stool, hesitantly said, "I don't blame the general, because my mother has gone to see the royal doctor in the palace, the doctor in the city, and the idle doctor. Even the doctor Gao said that my mother has a heart disease and there is no medicine. It can be cured, but she can only come out on her own, I only thought of telling the general after seeing the girl cured Han Mu's aphasia."

"Heart disease? So, your mother's aphasia was acquired? What caused it?" Li Ru'an was surprised, but he was also relieved. If it wasn't congenital, there was still a glimmer of hope.

"Let me tell you the reason." Xiao Huan frowned and recalled, talking eloquently.

"When that incident happened, I was already 15 years old, and I started to deal with some affairs with my elder brother. I received a report from the Ministry of Criminal Justice that a family of five fishermen was wiped out by pirates. When we got to the fishing boat, the pirates had already escaped. All five members of the family on the boat were pierced by a sharp knife in the chest, and the blood flowed like a river. Except for Aunt Fang, who was seriously injured and unconscious, the others had already passed away."

Yi Xing clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "My grandfather's family was fishermen in Beidao, and my father was a farmer in Zhuangzi outside the city. My father was still in the army at the time. The day before the incident, my mother went back to Beidao to visit my grandmother. , and went fishing together, but they met a pirate ship, they were frantic, they couldn't find any property, so they murdered to vent their anger, and killed her parents, brother, and sister-in-law in front of my mother, my mother was seriously injured and fell into a coma After more than ten days, after waking up, I will never speak again..."

Li Ru'an lowered his head in deep thought, and said slowly, "A person who witnessed the murder of a loved one, in a state of extreme shock, fear, grief, and stimulation, will indeed cause a series of emotional imbalances, such as constant nightmares, pain Anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, aphasia..."

The three of them looked at each other, and after a long while Yixing asked cautiously, "Girl, can...can it be cured?"

Li Ru'an didn't answer. She got up and walked to the pavilion and stood in front of the pavilion, staring at the rippling sea and meditating for a long time. The hearts of the three of them were suspended for a long time. She suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you know that it was you who sailed that time?" Did mother propose to go first, or did your maternal ancestor's family originally intend to go, and your mother just followed?"

Yi Xing didn't know, so he shook his head for a while, "I, I don't know, at that time, my brother and my cousin who came to play with me were all in Zhuangzi. Since the accident, we didn't dare to ask a word in front of mother. Girl, what's the difference between this, this?"

"Of course there is a difference. If your maternal ancestor's family was going to sail, but your mother just followed, then it can only be regarded as bad luck and fate. But, what if your mother first proposed that sailing? Then Would she think that she caused the tragedy alone? If she hadn't brought up the matter, wouldn't her family members have died tragically?" Li Ru'an said every word with great seriousness.

"Well, how can you blame Auntie..." Yi Xing's eyes widened, and his tone was anxious.

Xiao Huan rolled his black eyes, thoughtfully, "Ru'an is suspicious, part of Aunt Fang's heart disease is because of fear, fright, grief and stimulation, but there is another reason, Aunt Fang is extremely guilty?"

"Yes." Li Ru'an nodded, sat down and took a sip of tea, "If Aunt Fang really proposed to sail, then this should be her biggest worry. Ten years have passed, and the fear and shock can be calmed down with time, but the extreme guilt Self-blame will trap her in an invisible cage, which is called the shadow caused by severe psychological trauma. In severe cases, she may even have hallucinations, and she is repeatedly placed in the most tragic illusion at that time. spirit."

The three of them thought about it carefully, and it became more and more reasonable, Xiao Huan pondered, and said to Yixing, "It is not yet confirmed whether Aunt Fang proposed that voyage, you stay here and find a chance to ask clearly."

"No." Li Ru'an interrupted, "If Aunt Fang really proposed it, she will be even more agitated if she asks the question again. Patients with psychological trauma should not be too emotionally ups and downs, or it may aggravate the condition."

Yi Xing nodded again and again, "Yes, I was only ten years old when the tragedy happened, and I was not very sensible. Once I asked my mother why my grandfather and grandmother didn't see me. She froze at that time, her face pale and staring at me. I, then yelled and passed out, and since then, we haven't dared to speak a single word."

Li Ru'an was about to speak, when the pinna moved, and said in a low voice, "Your parents are coming up, let's talk later."
