The Memory Loss of Mrs. Long San

When consciousness penetrated her brain, she just woke up, with a splitting headache, and her ears buzzing. She strenuously opened her eye, she can see the faint moonlight, but all was in a blur. She seems to be lying on the cold ground, moving her finger, she can feel the icy water and damp earth, and her nose smelt the gra.s.s. As if she were in a field near the river.

She was gasping for breath, her head was in a great pain, she unconsciously raised her hand to touch it, only to find that her arm felt heavy, she tried to ma.s.sage her head, but her hands was sticky with wet blood.

She wondered, what was wrong with her?

A man ran up to her side, panic impatiently asked, “how are you? Are you well? “

She couldn’t answer a word, pain cost her to lose strength, she seems to be still bleeding on her head, her eyes blinked hard, trying to see this man before her, but she can only see fuzzy outlines.

The man seems impatient waiting for her to respond, he dragged her to the sh.o.r.e, he reached down and groped in her clothes, mouth, screaming: “where is it?”

It? What it?

In a distance there came the noises, buzzing in her ears, inaudible, the man rummaging her clothes must of hear it, because he quickly stood up, turned and ran away.

Soon, a rowdy crowd rushed to her side, they carried torches and shouted, the torch is lit, stabbing, she closed her eyes, yelling at them, she’d hear. “She’s here, found, found her … …”

Found her? Who is looking for her?

She was hurting badly, not knowing what happened, and she sank again into the darkness.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the top of an unadorned bed, she moves, she felt a soft blanket covering her, and she was lying on the bed. Her head did not seem so painful, she reached out and touched her head, she felt some straps around it, and it turned out to be bandaged. She slowly turned around, looked at the room.

In the middle of the room stood a round table, only one round tray on the table, a teapot and four gla.s.ses upside down. Under the table are four chairs, a table into the, it is clear that someone was sitting here before. Chairs drawn out means that people will come back again soon, the tea on the table tells her that this person must be a servant.

By the window in the room was a small case, bronze mirror comb Rouge box jewelry box clean. Against the wall there is a big closet, the objects there seem to belong to a girl. At a glance she knew that this is a girl’s room.

Furniture and furnis.h.i.+ngs are to the minimum, without any decorations,  the room seem plain, monotonous, she a.s.sumed that owner of this room that was not pampered. Footsteps coming from outside the room, she does not know why, she quickly closed her eyes, she tried to memorize the location of the windows and doors in the room just in case she will need to make a move

She instinctively thought of this, feeling somewhat confused, as if something was wrong. Not knowing what to expect.

A maid walked into the room. She opened her eyes, when she saw the maid, she did not recognize her. And it was at this moment, she finally realized what was wrong,  she cannot remember anything.

The maid was standing in front of the bed, when she saw the woman on the bed awake, she said: “Lady you are awake.”

Lady? So this maid recognizes her? The woman on in bed let out an “Uh”, but was startled by her own voice. She wonders, how long has she been lying there for?

Maid seemed happy seeing this, she poured some water, putting her hands under the lady’s  head and helped her to drink some water. Just sitting up made her headache, she observed that the maid’s face, neither cold nor warm, but it seemed like was familiar to her. She quietly looking at her and thought what the h.e.l.l is going on.

That the maid put the cup on the table, looking at her, she said: “Lady got hurt, or we have a good rest.”

Got hurt? Women on the bed tried to remember, but unfortunately she couldn’t remember how she got hurt, she couldn’t remember anyone including herself.

In this case if one were to ask “who I am” will it scare people? Or would it better to pick a security question, so she asked her: “I woke up, are you going to let someone know?”

The maid seemed surprised, she was silent for a while then said, “Er Ye is working. He is out running errands. Doctor said, that lady had hit her head, he gave some medicine, and you have to rest and take the medication to recover. ”

“You mean, the doctor said that it was nothing serious, so n.o.body needs to see me, right?” The maid was dumbfounded, she seems  to not know how to answer it.

The women in the bed tried to think harder, Er Ye, trying to remember these two names, she couldn’t come up with anything also couldn’t figure out who it was. she didn’t want to let this out, so simply asked, “what is your name? ”

The maid frowned: “Lady are you still confused? I am Xiao Qing. ”

“Oh, Xiao Qing .”She then asked:” Who am I? ”

Xiao Qing opened her eyes and mouth wide, stuttered: “Madame, is your brain damaged, you do not remember?”

“Yeah, it was damaged. “She gave calm and serious answer.

Xiao Qing , took a backward step: “Madame, don’t try anything stupid, Er Ye is angry, if you play dumb to try to distract him, he will surely punish you. ”

Madame, Second Master? The woman on bed was silence in thought, speculating she said: “you call me Lady, and mentioned Second Master, tell me, is he my husband?”

This maid was not so much surprised than she was frightened, and she turned and hurried out, loudly called: “come, come, call Doctor Chen  … … hurry call Doctor Chen…… “

The woman with amnesia was left alone in the room sitting on the bed, she touched the stretch of cloth on her head, and said to herself: “Well, I know now that he’s not my husband, but do you need to respond so intensely?”

She waited a long time Doctor Chen has not arrived, an old lady with four or five maid, came in. Her demeanor was imposing.

“I heard something happens to Madame, I came to see you.” Her eyes were sharp, she tightly pursed her thin lips as she spoke, her tone rather harsh.

“Thank you, may I ask who you are? “This woman is well dressed, and tidy, slightly wistful. Coming to see her, she did not know what is the relations.h.i.+p between them?

“Hmm, so you really do not remember? I am Wet Nurse Yu “The old woman look closely at her face, but she answered:” I am the person in charge of this estate. ”

So the old woman is the Wet Nurse, it seems this is a big estate. The woman sitting on bed touched her head and asked, “who am I?”

“You are called Feng Ning, you are the wife of my Third Master.” Wet Nurse Yu said while frowning.

“Third Master?” No wonder the maid ran out so fast, she had mistaken her Second Uncle to be her husband this was too much.
