Ayan looked at the little girl in front of him with a pained expression and asked softly, "Sister Tao'er, does the little girl not remember her own name?"

Were you scared out of your wits by those flower sellers?

She looks so timid and pitiful!

"Ayan, even Sister Tao'er doesn't know this."

Tao'er knelt down and gently straightened Ayan's collar.

"Don't worry, I'll ask her again."

Even if she really doesn't remember, your fifth uncle and I will definitely find a way.

Tao'er had heard of amnesia before.

Some had their brains damaged, while others were so frightened that they locked themselves away, unwilling to face the outside world.

"Sister Tao'er is right. With so many of us, we can definitely help her."

Ayan's eyes lit up as he remembered that Grandpa Li was a renowned doctor who could cure even his fifth uncle's illness, so a little sister should be no problem for him.

Ayan already knows that Grandpa Li stayed here mainly to treat Uncle Wu's illness and detoxify him.

The little girl had been coaxed into eating a little something by Ayan, but now she dared not eat anymore.

She timidly raised her head to look at Tao'er, her voice soft as if afraid of disturbing something: "Sister... I... won't eat much."

Tao'er felt a pang of sadness, gently stroked the girl's slightly yellow hair, and said with a smile, "Little sister, it's okay, you can eat as much of these things as you want."

No one will scold you.

"Can I ask you a few more questions?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, her large, clear eyes still showing a hint of fear, but she finally nodded.

Where do you live?

Do you still remember?

The little girl shook her head.

"Do you remember your father's or mother's names?"

The little girl shook her head again.

How many siblings do you have?

He still shook his head.

Ask three questions.

Tao'er's heart sank, realizing that the little girl really didn't remember anything.

Although she looks only four or five years old, a child of that age should remember some things. How could she not even remember her own name and her parents?

This situation either indicates that the person was abused when abducted by human traffickers, or that they suffered excessive fright.

Tao'er sighed inwardly, softened her voice, and said with warmth in every word: "Little sister, since you don't remember your name now, let me give you one."

"When you remember your name later, we'll call you by your original name again, okay?"

We can't be without a name!

Let's take one and use it for now!

The little girl blinked and nodded gently.

A glimmer of light seemed to have appeared in those dim eyes, making them no longer as empty as before.

Tao'er thought for a moment, looked at her eyes which finally had a bit of life in them, and said with a smile, "Then I'll call you Huanhuan!"

My sister hopes that you can live happily every day from now on.

"The little girl has a name!"

Huanhuan, that's a beautiful song!

Ayan jumped up with joy, clapping his hands and cheering.

"Huanhuan..."

The little girl murmured those two words as if savoring something precious.

Then, she gave a grateful smile, a very sincere one!

This was the first time Tao'er had ever seen the little girl smile.

That smile was like a newly sprouted flower in spring, shy yet exceptionally beautiful.

"Thank you... thank you, Sister Tao'er."

Huanhuan approached Tao'er, her big eyes slowly filling with tears, sparkling as if she were about to cry, or perhaps she was very happy.

Tao'er's heart melted completely. She gently pulled her into her arms and patted her back: "You're welcome, Huanhuan."

Then Tao'er asked Ayan to stay in the room with Huanhuan and told him to take good care of his sister before she got up and went out.

Everyone was waiting for her in the courtyard.

Xiao Yi, A Chen, Qing Feng, Dong Kui, and Elder Li, all of them stood in the courtyard.

Upon seeing Tao'er come out, Xiao Yi was the first to greet her, and asked in a low voice, "Tao'er, how are you?"

What did the little girl say?

Tao'er shook her head and sighed: "No, she doesn't remember anything."

He doesn't even remember his own name.

She's quiet, very timid, and quite pitiful.

She raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and continued, "I named her Huanhuan. You can call her Huanhuan from now on."

Everyone nodded. "Huanhuan is a very good name!"

Tao'er turned her head to look at Elder Li, her tone pleading: "Uncle Li, I would like to ask you to take a look at Huanhuan and see if you can cure her illness."

So we can send her home to reunite with her family as soon as possible.

Elder Li nodded, sighed, and thought to himself that this was also a pitiful child.

This child is so old; he should be able to act like a child in front of his parents, but now he doesn't even remember who he is.

He followed Tao'er into the house.

As soon as Huanhuan saw Elder Li, she was so frightened that she hid behind Ayan, only daring to show half of her face, her hands tightly gripping the hem of Ayan's clothes.

Tao'er quickly stepped forward, squatted down, looked Huanhuan in the eye, and said softly, "Huanhuan, don't be afraid. This Grandpa Li was invited by your sister to examine you. He's not a bad person."

Ayan chimed in, patting his chest and assuring her, "Huanhuan, don't be afraid. Grandpa Li is a very kind person, a truly good man!"

He cured my seventh uncle!

And Brother Achen was also treated by Grandpa Li.

Elder Li also bent down and said with a kind smile, "Huanhuan, don't be afraid. Your sister Tao'er invited you here to treat your illness."

"If you don't cooperate, then your sister Tao'er's money will have been wasted."

Upon hearing this, Huanhuan hesitated for a moment before slowly walking out from behind Ayan and obediently sitting on the stool, allowing Elder Li to take her pulse and examine her.

Tao'er saw this and thought to herself that although the little girl was scared, she was kind-hearted and did not want to cause others to spend money in vain.

Elder Li carefully took Huanhuan's pulse, then looked at her tongue and eyes, and smiled as he patted the little tuft of hair on her head: "Huanhuan is a little thin. Eat more and get some nutrition, and she'll get better slowly."

This was said to avoid putting the girl under any pressure, as it would be detrimental to her condition.

Huanhuan nodded, still somewhat bewildered, and uttered a soft, broken voice: "Thank...thank you, Grandpa!"

She was probably still a little scared, so she spoke very carefully, uttering each word slowly and deliberately, as if afraid of saying something wrong.

Tao'er and Elder Li exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

There are some things that are not suitable to say in front of Huanhuan.

Once inside the courtyard, Tao'er instructed Dongkui, "Sister Dongkui, could you please go and take care of Huanhuan and the others?"

Dongkui smiled and nodded in response, then tiptoed into the house.

Tao'er glanced at the tightly closed door before turning to ask, "Uncle Li, how is Huanhuan...?"

Can it be cured?

She thought to herself that Elder Li had treated Achen a couple of days ago, saying that as long as he persisted with acupuncture and cleared the blood stasis in his brain, he could regain his memory.

Huanhuan should be able to do it too, right?

Elder Li sighed and said slowly, "His body is fine, but he is severely malnourished and needs to be properly nourished."

As for not remembering anything at all…

He paused, his expression becoming somewhat serious: "She must have suffered a great shock, and she's afraid, so she's shut herself off and doesn't want to think about those things."

This can't be cured by medicine; she has to rely on herself to slowly get through it.

"Furthermore, she is still young, and acupuncture on the head is too dangerous and unsuitable for her."

Everyone fell silent, and the courtyard became strangely quiet and oppressive.

What should we do?

Tao'er knew that this was a heartache.

The heart is the hardest disease to cure; medicine is useless.

She sighed and asked the most difficult question: "So, everyone, what should we do about Huanhuan?"

If she never remembers, we can't just abandon her, can we?

Doing this is no different from killing her!

Taking care of only one child, Ayan, is unavoidable, but everyone knows how much more trouble we'd have to worry about on the road if we also took care of Huanhuan.

Qingfeng laughed and said in a silly way, "Miss Tao'er, it doesn't matter if Huanhuan never remembers it in her whole life."

"Let her become Ayan's wife in the future. They're childhood sweethearts, isn't that wonderful!"

As soon as Qingfeng said this, Achen smiled and chimed in, "Young Master Qingfeng's suggestion is good. That girl is quite pretty and would be a good match for Ayan."

We grew up together, so we must have a good relationship.

Xiao Yi stood to the side, pursing his lips and not saying a word, but a smile played on his lips.

He thought it was a good idea to prepare a wife for his nephew early on, so he wouldn't have to worry about it later.

My older brother and sister-in-law will definitely be very happy to know.

Elder Li burst into laughter, stroking his beard and saying, "Excellent! Excellent!"

Tao'er glared at everyone and said irritably, "Don't say that in front of the children."

Let's keep Huanhuan here for now, so she can keep Ayan company.

The road ahead is long; we'll deal with the future later.

Everyone then stopped joking and nodded to each other.

And so, Huanhuan stayed.
