Chapter 002 I am Guo Xiang

  The first time Tang Xiaosheng saw Guo Yixiang, he remembered her eyes. Unlike the dull and lifeless gazes of other mentally ill people, hers were exceptionally pure, like water.

  "You must be kidding, Yang Guo lived in the Song Dynasty, how can he be here?" Guo Yixiang's big eyes blinked, and she asked in a childish voice.

  Tang Xiao Sheng sank his voice, imitating Yang Guo's tone and replied: "We met by chance, why would I deceive you?" To further open the topic, he asked again, "Little sister, have you ever seen my aunt Little Dragon Girl?"

  Guo Yixiang's eyes rolled around, her small mouth pursed, and she nodded: "I've seen it."

  Her answer was quite unexpected.

  Tang Xiaosheng knew that the thinking of mentally ill people couldn't be inferred by common sense, so he went along with her words and said: "I don't know where you met my aunt? Please tell me, Miss Yang, I'm extremely grateful."

  Guo Yixiang tilted her head slightly and waved her small hand: "Follow me!"

  Tang Xiaosheng was a bit curious what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so he followed closely behind her.

  The two of them walked through the activity hall of the rehabilitation center, around a corridor, and came to a door with "TOILET" in red letters on it.

  Tang Xiaosheng was puzzled, why did Guo Yixiang bring him to the public toilet? But his current identity is a traverser Yang Guo, and he must pretend not to recognize English. So he pointed to the toilet and pretended to be stupid: "Little sister, may I ask where this place is?"

  "Don't bother about so much, Xiaolongnv is inside, hurry up and go in!" Guo Yixiang said with her small hand pointing to the door of the women's restroom.

  Tang Xiaosheng pondered for a moment, guessing that Guo Yixiang was testing him. He glanced at the women's restroom and solemnly asked, "Is Long'er really inside?"

  "Hmm." Guo Yixiang nodded vigorously, her pure and innocent deer-like eyes blinking, but in her heart, she was secretly thinking: You dare to impersonate a crosser? I'll see if you dare to enter the women's restroom, hehe!

  Tang Xiaosheng had long seen through Xiao Yatou's thoughts, and cupped his hands: "Thank you for telling me, Yang Mou will go in and take a look." After finishing speaking, he didn't say another word, took big strides, and walked into the women's restroom with an air of righteousness.

  "How did he really get in? Could it be that it's really Yang Guo?" Guo Yixiang furrowed her delicate eyebrows, starting to become somewhat flustered.

  After entering the women's restroom, Tang Xiaosheng was actually very nervous. This place has a special meaning for men! In one's lifetime, there are few opportunities to enter such a place.

  Although he had been to the women's restroom twice before while filming, it was just for filming after all. Now that he has revisited this mysterious place again, his heart is filled with mixed emotions, and the taste of it is truly indescribable.

  At this time, it was only 9 o'clock in the morning. He thought that at such an early hour, there should be no one in the women's toilet, and he could just take a stroll and leave. Who would have thought that as soon as he entered, he saw a woman in white standing in front of the mirror in the middle of the toilet, adjusting her clothes with both hands.

  A woman in white clothing, about twenty-three years old, wearing a white coat, with a snow-white nurse's hat on her head, and a beautiful melon-shaped face, looks very pleasing to the eye.

  Her name is Lin Shishi, a new female nurse who has just arrived at the hospital.

  "Ah!"

  When she saw Tang Xiaosheng, Lin Shishi let out a scream and took a step back in shock, her hands covering her chest. She then asked, "How did you get in here?"

  Things having come to this pass, Tang Xiaosheng could only continue to pretend to be stupid, clasped his fists together and said seriously: "I am Yang Guo, I have come to find my aunt Little Dragon Maiden."

  Nurse Lin Shishi let out a slight sigh of relief, thinking to herself that this patient must be seriously ill and probably had no intention of intruding, so she said gently: "Little Dragon Girl is not here. Also, you are not allowed in this place."

  Tang Xiaosheng furrowed his brow: "Why can't I go in?"

  "Because this is the ladies' restroom."

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded slightly, with a look of seeming understanding, and after a moment of silence, asked: "Why can't I go into the women's restroom?"

  Lin Shishi: "......"

  She finally realized that it was pointless to reason with this mentally ill person, so she simply pulled Tang Xiaosheng out of the women's restroom and dragged him into the corridor. Then, in a serious tone, she warned: "Remember from now on, you are not allowed to enter the women's restroom. If you don't listen, I'll lock you up in the little black room."

  Then she went on to lecture for over ten minutes in a tone of an elder. In the nurse's eyes, all mental patients are children.

  After Lin Shishi left, Tang Xiaosheng glanced back and found that Guo Yixiang was still in the corridor. He went forward and asked, "Little girl, I didn't know I couldn't enter the women's restroom. I have no grudge against you, why did you frame me?"

  "Who told you to impersonate Yang Guo!"

  Dang Xiao Sheng straightened up and said in a loud voice, "A great man does not change his name when he acts, nor does he change his surname when he sits. I am indeed Yang Guo, what nonsense is this about impersonation?"

  Guo Yixiang said: "If you are really Yang Guo, you must know Guo Xiang!"

  Finally getting to the point, Tang Xiaosheng deliberately paused for a moment and said calmly: "Xiang Er? Of course I know her."

  Guo Yixiang asked: "Since you know him, tell me, where was Guo Xiang when she first heard of the legendary hero Yang Guo?"

  Tang Xiaosheng knew that this little girl was testing him again, so he answered seriously: "Fengling Inn, An Du Old Shop."

  Guo Xiang's eyes rolled over and she asked again: "Where did Guo Xiang first meet the Eagle Hero Yang Guo?"

  "The Forest of Wan Shou Mountain Villa."

  "What was the weather when Guo Xiang first met Yang Guo?"

  ……

  Guo Yixiang asked nine consecutive questions, all of which were about Guo Xiang and Yang Guo.

  Tang Xiaosheng spent the last two days re-reading "The Return of the Condor Hero" and read the parts related to Guo Xiang more than a dozen times. He was already familiar with many details in the book, so he answered all questions very fluently.

  But Guo Yixiang seemed to still not fully believe he was Yang Guo, and after a moment of thought, asked again: "What clothes was Guo Xiang wearing when she first met Yang Guo, what color were they?"

  This question is really biased!

  It's okay, Tang Xiaosheng was well-prepared for this question, which is also mentioned on page 648 of "The Return of the Condor Hero". So he replied: "Xiang'er was wearing a pale green satin jacket at that time, with a string of bright pearls hanging around her neck."

  Guo Yixiang was slightly surprised, didn't expect him to answer such a difficult question correctly, and after a moment of stunned silence, asked in a childish voice: "When is Guo Xiang's birthday?"

  At this time, Tang Xiaosheng's eyebrows suddenly tightened.

  For Guo Xiang's birthday, he remembered it was October 24th. However, Mr. Jin Yong had revised "The Return of the Condor Hero" before, and in the new version, Guo Xiang's birthday was changed to September 24th.

  Is it October 24th or September 24th?

  Tang Xiaosheng was also at a loss, hesitated for a moment, and finally had to casually make something up, answering: "Xiang'er's birthday is October 24th."

  Hearing the answer, Guo Yixiang suddenly fell silent.

  Her silence made Tang Xiaosheng's heart a little nervous, had he misjudged? What if Guo Yixiang didn't believe he was Yang Guo, then this 300-yuan-a-day job would probably be ruined.

  Just as he was worried, Guo Yixiang suddenly rushed forward, tightly grasping Tang Xiaosheng's hand and excitedly exclaimed: "Big brother, it really is you! I've finally found you!"

  As she spoke, perhaps due to her excitement, her eyes, like water, had become slightly red.

  Seeing her behave like this, Tang Xiaosheng felt relieved and slightly let out a breath, should be passing the test, right?

  It seems that mentally ill people can still be deceived quite easily.

  Tang Xiaosheng continued to pretend to be stupid, suddenly withdrawing his hands and asking: "Little girl, what are you doing? Men and women should not be intimate with each other, how can you be so rude?"

  Guo Yixiang wrinkled her nose and stared at him: "Big brother, haven't you recognized me yet? I'm Guo Xiang, Xiang'er."

  Tang Xiaosheng knew she would say this, and raised an eyebrow: "Xiang Er? What are you doing here?"

  "I've been locked up in a mental hospital for almost a year now." Guo Yixiang seemed very wronged, and as she spoke, tears gushed out of her eyes, unstoppable.

  Seeing this, Tang Xiaosheng hurried forward to comfort her. When she was slightly calmer, he asked with a concerned expression: "Xiang'er, what happened?"

  Then, Guo Yixiang talked about her experiences over the past year.
