Chapter 1086: Ke Ya's memory is damaged
Ke Ya suddenly woke up from her coma, her clothes soaked with cold sweat. She looked around in some doubt, she was in an unfamiliar environment.
From the swaying and the sound of the current, I realized that I was on a ship. When I stretched my stiff limbs, I realized that someone had changed me into clean clothes.
"Is this all a dream?"
The terrible dream just now is still vivid in my mind. A rat as big as a giant was rampaging in Xiluobu Village, and the villagers screamed wherever it went.
The giant rat, covered with pustules all over its body, had sharp fangs and a chilling cold light. Every time it opened its mouth, it devoured a life in the village.
The villagers fled in panic, but in front of the sick giant rats, their speed was like slow motion, and it was only a matter of time before they were caught up.
Many familiar faces, those people who were kind and helpful to each other in their daily lives, were swallowed by the giant rats one after another.
Ke Ya ran desperately, her heart beating wildly in her chest as if it was about to burst through her chest. Her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and in her ears were the whistling wind and the desperate cries of the villagers.
As time went by, there were fewer and fewer people around her, and finally it seemed that she was the only one left in the whole village, running for her life under this terrifying shadow.
Keya looked at the quiet and unfamiliar environment around her. She was a little dazed and couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams. Her mind was not very clear.
She gasped for breath and tried to calm herself down, but her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she felt like she had lost some of her memory.
Someone outside the cabin heard the sound and quickly ran to open the cabin door. Keya saw a little deer the size of a child, walking upright and covered with brown fur.
"Kaya, you finally woke up! Master Tsunade was right. She said you would wake up tonight."
Ke Ya was surprised to see an animal speaking suddenly. She just felt that the deer in front of her looked familiar and was not too scared.
Seeing that Usopp's woman was hesitant to speak, Chopper took the initiative to introduce himself to Kaya, saying that he was a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, a good brother of Usopp, and formed a cowardly trio with Nami.
Although Kaya, whose memory is damaged, can't remember Chopper's name, she has not forgotten Usopp and still has a good impression of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Maybe it was because she had been in a coma for too long. Just as Ke Ya was about to speak, she felt dizzy. She had never had this kind of symptom before.
"What's wrong with me? Why does my head hurt when I think?" Keya had only learned some basic medical skills and did not have much in-depth research on the human body.
Keya is still too young and has never dissected a corpse on her own. She does not understand the physiological structure of the human body and has never heard of some difficult and complicated diseases.
However, Chopper gave an answer to this question. Before Tsunade drank and went to sleep, she explained the principle of Kaya's illness to Xiaolu in detail.
Because too many people entered the basement and the air vents were blocked for some unknown reason, the air circulation was slow and the oxygen underground dropped to a critical point.
Life cannot survive without oxygen. One after another, they showed symptoms of hypoxia and finally fell into a coma.
Because of the direction in which Kaya's head fell, it was closer to the ventilation vent. She was much luckier than the others and did not die from suffocation on the spot.
The brief lack of oxygen caused damage to Kaya's brain. Under normal circumstances, even if the girl was rescued, she would most likely be a living dead with her brain in a state of permanent damage.
Even with such severe brain hypoxia, Tsunade could still save the patient. Chopper admired his master's medical skills very much, and he deserved the title of strange doctor!
The principle is to use Wood Release to stimulate Kaya's own brain cells to repair or regrow, allowing the brain's functions to gradually return to normal.
Some things cannot be done perfectly, and some brain cells that were deprived of oxygen died permanently, which is why Keya lost her memory.
During the subsequent conversation between the man and the deer, Chopper learned that Kaya's memory was still stuck on the day when Usopp left with the Straw Hat Pirates, and her memory of what happened afterwards was damaged and she had no recollection.
Kaya couldn't even remember why she ended up staying in the basement with a group of people and how she escaped a horrible plague.
"Chopper, you have a good relationship with Usopp. Please don't lie to me. Is there anyone else alive in my hometown?"
Kaya's sincere look left Chopper speechless for a moment. He could only avoid the girl's gaze, and the Deer Head below didn't know whether to speak or not.
Chopper was afraid that Kaya would know the whole truth, so he fainted out of grief. After finally waking up, she needed to eat and drink water to gradually restore her body functions.
Chopper doesn't lie, he just won't shut up and talk. Kaya is a smart girl and understands what not speaking means.
Ke Ya sat blankly beside the bed with empty eyes. The cruel news hit her like a hammer - all the people in the village died.
She was completely homeless, and everything in Xiluobu Village was far away from her. All the familiar people except Usopp died of the plague.
Tears suddenly burst out of her eyes and she couldn't stop them. Big tears slid down her pale cheeks and wet her newly washed clothes.
She said to Chopper in a trembling voice, "Mr. Chopper, please leave the room first..." Chopper looked at her worriedly, but finally turned around and left silently, closing the door gently.
The room suddenly became quiet. The only sound was Ke Ya's faint sobbing. She slowly buried her head in the quilt, her body shaking violently.
The long-suppressed grief gushed out like a flood, and loneliness completely drowned her like a tide.
The once familiar smiling faces and lively village scenes emerged in my mind one by one. All the happy times we spent together have now become sharp blades that pierce my heart.
She felt as if she was in an extremely dark world, with no one around her and only endless loneliness tightly surrounding her.
She didn't know how to face all this. She had a heart full of pain and couldn't find an outlet to vent. Her cries were muffled under the quilt, as if she wanted to release all her sorrow along with her tears.
In this lonely and sad moment, she could only curl up in the corner alone, enduring this heavy blow given by fate. The girl now missed the liar, the man who deceived her heart.
"Where are you, Usopp? I miss you so much..."
Chopper was not far away. Through the cabin door, he could clearly hear Kaya crying, and he could understand the girl's feelings.
When his adoptive father died, Chopper was very sad, and it took him a long time to recover. He devoted more energy to learning medicine to alleviate the sadness of the death of his loved one. Perhaps Xu Ya will also follow this path.
Tsunade staggered out of another cabin holding a bottle of wine, "You little girl have experienced too little. When you reach my age, you rarely shed tears."
After expressing her feelings, Tsunade began to pour wine into her mouth, drinking bottle after bottle of shochu. Only alcohol can bring happiness to a woman and make her forget some of the troubles in reality.
Chopper also wanted to have a drink at this time to drink away his irritability and not want to face the cruel reality for the time being.
