After ShuangAi delivered the medicinal herbs for TanTan, she directs to the cabin in the wood where she left the unconscious wounded man. 'It's been more than a day, the man should have awake now...'

She enters the room and suddenly a hand grabs her from behind, locks her in his shoulder while his other hand is holding a sharp-edged wood, pointing to her neck.

"Who are you?" A voice of man heard so weak but there is a cold and intimidating tone inside.

ShuangAi tries to stay calm, although the man can hear an intense nervous in her voice,

"...I am ShuangAi...I am not the one who harm you...I'm the one who helps you out from the river..."

Seeing the medicinal herbs which are brought by ShuangAi, the man releases her. ShuangAi turns around and can see the man is trying hard to keep standing due to his sick body although he keeps looking at ShuangAi in full awareness.

'He looked likes a wounded wolf", ShuangAi thinks.

Several minutes later, the man has lost balance because using too much energy to move too soon, he almost fainted if ShuangAi doesn't immediately help him to return back onto the bed.

"You suppose not to move a lot yet...your body is still too weak!" scolded ShuangAi.

The man keeps observing ShuangAi, his face is indicating he is struggling to believe ShuangAi or not. Slowly he opens his mouth,

"Where..am..I?"

ShuangAi glads that the man seems decides to believe that she is not his enemy,

"You are in the west wood in BaoZhi Town...I found you unconsciously floated on the river and so I take you here..."

"Bao...Zhi...Town..?" the man repeats.

"Yes, BaoZhi Town..." ShuangAi realizes that the man seems unfamiliar with this town name, that means he might come from far? The cloth the man wore when she found him was looked like a simple commoner cloth with a little different pattern so ShuangAi guesses that this man might come from the north remote town, she asks to be sure,

"Where do you come from?

" I..."

The man doesn't answer yet, he looks thinking deeply to give the answer. The condition of the man reminds ShuangAi about HuaMuTan's amnesia condition. Now she is afraid that this man also has the same symptom. She asks carefully,

"Do you know what's your name?"

The man presses his head very hard with his palms. He looks struggled so much to remember and felt pain.

"...I...I don't know...ugh..."

What ShuangAi afraid about turns happen, the man is really amnesia due to what happened to him, maybe he got too shocked... ShuangAi then sits beside the man, comfort him by stroking his back carefully like comforting a child.

"Sst..it's okay..it's okay...you don't have to remember it now...Now, why don't let me renew your bandage and you can take a rest then...."

The man gazes to ShuangAi, but he doesn't say anything, he just let ShuangAi does she said, somehow he doesn't be aware anymore to ShuangAi. ShuangAi starts to remove the bandage, she examines the wound that looks still opened but not bleeding anymore.


"The wound is not bleeding anymore, it's recovering..." ShuangAi tried to explain the condition but the man doesn't respond anything than keep observing ShuangAi.

"Now I will put the medicine...it might stings a little bit..." ShuangAi pours the new herbal medicine to the wound, it stings a lot so ShuangAi worries and checks the respond but the man endures it without giving any voice. Their eyes meet together and somehow ShuangAi feels shy which it's weird because she never feels like this to any of her patients. Maybe it's because the man keeps staring on her intensely without any words. ShuangAi just tries to concentrate binding the wound. After she finishes it, ShuangAi stands,

"Ehm now you may rest, I will prepare medicine for you to drink later..."

The man once again checks his bandage, it's bound very nice. Clearly, it shows that ShuangAi did it professionally. Before ShuangAi stepped out from the room, the man finally responds to her,

"...thank you..."

With those words, ShuangAi already feels pleased. She smiles back to the man,

"Just take a rest, I'll be outside to cook the medicine..."

The man looks stunned with ShuangAi's smile, but ShuangAi doesn't notice it as she has walked out from the room.

After the man is alone in the room, he is back to his deep thinking, questioning who he is and what happened to him before, the wound. Some flashes of memory burst in his mind, a young man was killed while warned him to keep run. Another man stabbed him with a sword, a man with a fierce and evil look, with a heavy beard and eyebrows but he just can't remember who the man is...neither who he is. Many soldiers fought, a flash of battle occurs and all those flashes give the pain in his head comes again when he tries to remember and he feels so weak so he decides to close his eyes for a while. At least he knows that he is safe for now.

While ShuangAi is preparing the medicine, she is also being in her deep thinking,

"From the condition, clearly this man is stabbed by a sharp things like knife or sword, the question is why?" She speaks out her mind alone.

There is possibility that this man is a bad person, chased by his enemies especially the reaction he gave when Shuang Ai entered the room, he might be a killer! But somehow ShuangAi's instinct says the opposite, she can see from this man's eyes just now.

"His eyes look fierce but straight, they are not the eyes of a wicked man."

ShuangAi believes with her instinct, at least she met many kinds of patient and she is easily could see the patient which has bad purpose or not.

"Well, no matter who he is, my job is to heal him...beside his amnesia condition might be a privilege for me... If I can heal him, it might helps me to heal MuTanCie too..."
