Su Yin's face turned ashen.

He asked again, "Su Ruyi, I'm only asking you out of kindness because we share the same mother. I'm asking you one last time—are you going to give up the house or not?"

"I don't need your kindness, and don't even think about taking my yard again!"

As Su Ruyi spoke, she got up, opened the door, raised her foot, and kicked Su Yin five or six meters away with just one kick.

Then, he called out to the next patient: "Uncle Ding, it's your turn. Watch out for the threshold."

Su Yin lay on the ground for a long time before finally getting up.

He spat out the dirt in his mouth, his eyes turning incredibly fierce: "You jinx, you forced me to do this! You ungrateful wretch!"

Late that night, Su Yin came to Su Ruyi's courtyard again.

He didn't notice during the day that the big tree had been cut down. When he groped his way over in the dark, he tripped over the tree stump, just like Xia Tianxiu.

"A jinx, looks like it's spotted me?" he muttered to himself. "They're pretty vigilant!"

However, he didn't plan to go in this time.

He had already found out everything—Yi Lele left in the morning, and now only Su Ruyi and Su Qiushi were in the courtyard.

One was a frail young girl, and the other was an old man nearing the end of his life.

The elderly, the infirm, and the disabled.

Su Yin pulled a lunchbox out of his pocket.

Upon opening, a pungent odor immediately wafted out—the smell of kerosene.

Then, he took out a box of matches.

Yes, he wants to burn the yard down—if he can't have it, he'll destroy it.

As for the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled in the courtyard, it all depends on their luck.

Sensing Su Yin's arrival with her divine sense, Su Ruyi opened her eyes again in the darkness.

Not again?!

She sat up abruptly.

At this moment, Su Yin had already struck a match.

Then, he took out a wad of rotten cotton soaked in kerosene from the lunchbox, and while lighting it with a match, the rotten cotton was already arcing as Su Yin threw it into Su Ruyi's yard!

And it was above the pile of firewood in the corner!

Su Ruyi intercepted the cotton fireball in mid-air and put it into space.

The fireball landed on the open ground in the backyard of the space and was extinguished.

Outside the courtyard wall, Su Yin was still waiting for the cotton wadding to fall to the ground, but after listening for a long time, she did not hear the sound of it falling.

He picked at his ear in frustration and pulled out a wad of tattered cotton from his lunchbox.

He prepared four of these cotton wadding balls for Su Ruyi.

"Whoosh—"

Another burning fireball flew into the yard, landing once again above the pile of firewood.

Su Ruyi once again stored the fireball in her spatial storage.

Su Yin waited a while longer, and the chilling feeling returned.

There was still no movement in the courtyard.

There was no sound of cotton balls falling to the ground, nor any light of fire.

The cotton-like fireball seemed to have been swallowed up by the deep sea.

Su Yin's hair stood on end.

But the thought that Su Ruyi wouldn't let him leave the courtyard made him unable to suppress his resentment once again.

He then lit the third wad of cotton.

"Whoosh—"

Su Ruyi accepted it again.

Su Yin still didn't hear the sound of the cotton ball hitting the ground.

He thought for a moment—there was only one possibility: he had thrown all his cotton balls into the water tank.

However, he knew there was a well in the yard, and the two small water tanks were in the kitchen, not in this location.

What else could it be?

He lit the last wad of cotton while wondering about it.

Su Ruyi saw another fireball flying towards her. This time, she didn't hold back and used her divine sense to control the fireball, sending it flying out of the courtyard in an arc and hitting Su Yin directly on the back.

"Ah..." Su Yin let out a painful groan and immediately ran away while taking off her shirt.

However, his back was already badly burned.

Su Yin's fear reached its peak at this moment.

He had a vague suspicion in his mind—that this courtyard might really be protected by the ghost of the deceased village doctor, Jin Dachun.

Now, the fireball returned and struck him precisely, completely confirming his conjecture.

Su Yin had never run this fast in her entire life.

Su Ruyi used her divine sense to track Su Yin until he ran towards the educated youth compound, into an area she could no longer detect.

She controlled her consciousness and put the cotton ball outside the courtyard into her space.

Then she herself flashed into the space, looking at the four tattered cotton balls on the backyard ground, her whole body trembling slightly.

This thing is very cleverly made. Not only does it have a handle, but it is also covered with a lot of cotton thread wrapped around it in a haphazard and vicious manner. It is clear that Su Yin must have been gritting his teeth when he made this thing.

All four fireballs were aimed at the pile of firewood below the courtyard wall!

If this pile of firewood catches fire, nothing in the yard will be spared.

If she didn't have a spatial dimension or the divine sense to manipulate objects, then she and Su Qiushi would have already perished in the flames.

Su Ruyi narrowed her eyes—Su Yin had clearly become a ticking time bomb!

She needs to deliver a fatal blow!

The next morning, Su Ruyi felt a sense of unreality as she watched Su Qiushi busy preparing breakfast.

If she hadn't stopped Su Yin last night, this courtyard would have been reduced to ashes this morning, and she and Su Qiushi would have been charred corpses.

At this time, there was still a full day left before the time agreed upon with Shen Guoliang.

On this day, Su Ruyi decided to stay near the courtyard and not go anywhere else!

Everything was peaceful that day, because Su Yin had suffered severe burns and large blisters on her back. She was so frightened that she developed a high fever.

However, Su Ruyi was unaware of this.

On this day, while she was treating patients in the space, she was somewhat absent-minded, always afraid that Su Yin would come to kill and set fires again.

It wasn't until Shen Heping came to see her that evening and talked about the interesting things happening at the educated youth compound that she learned that Su Yin had contracted a strange illness and had a high fever.

Su Ruyi questioned him carefully without showing any emotion.

Su Yin developed a high fever, but he didn't go to see the only village doctor in Dingjiatun. This shows that he has something to hide, and it also shows that he and Su Ruyi have completely broken off relations.

However, all of this was in line with Su Ruyi's plan.

Shen Heping was summoned by Su Ruyi, who only said that she would examine his pulse and check on his recovery.

As she was leaving, Su Ruyi called out to him seemingly casually, "Brother Heping, could you get up early tomorrow morning to do something for me?"

"Sure! I've been sleeping too much lately, waking up at four or five in the morning and staying awake until dawn!" Shen Heping readily agreed. "What's up? Just tell me!"

"Are there two groups of people cooking in the front yard now?" Su Ruyi asked.

“Yes, those new guys surnamed Xia and Su Yin, they’re teaming up,” Shen Heping nodded. “They’re so domineering, they always have to use the stove first!”

"Then, Xia Tianxiu must get up very early, right?" Su Ruyi narrowed her eyes again.
