Du Sanniang laughed again, her laughter shaking with mirth, as she hadn't heard such words in a long time.
"Anyone who dared to say that to me before you is probably already dead. I think you're asking for it."
There was a slight difference in physical strength between the two, and Du Sanniang was about to counterattack when Cui Yulu was clearly no match for her.
Seeing his wife being bullied, Fu Xiaoyu picked up a piece of sapling from the ground and hit Du Sanniang on the head.
"If you hit my wife, I'll beat you to death, beat you to death."
As he spoke, he started hitting Du Sanniang with the wooden stick. Even though her IQ had dropped to that of a three or five-year-old, her body was still that of an adult, and she still had strength.
Du Sanniang, in pain, quickly released Cui Yulu.
Xia Lan'er watched from behind, stamping her feet in fright and muttering repeatedly, "She's gone mad, she's really gone mad."
Xia Lan'er, standing behind her, wished she could also use the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to burrow underground) so that Du San Niang wouldn't see her.
"You dare hit me? You've got a death wish."
Du San Niang lifted Fu Xiaoyu up with one hand, his feet kicking wildly at the ground, his expression showing some pain.
"Put him down. You are sick and need medical treatment, otherwise you will not live much longer."
"That's alarmist. I'm perfectly healthy. I could tear you all apart without any problem."
Seeing that she was about to make a move, Cui Yulu quickly inserted silver needles into her acupoints, and Du Sanniang was instantly unable to move.
"What did you do to me? Why can't I move?"
"I wanted to calm you down, otherwise you're really beyond saving. Have you been experiencing shortness of breath and chest tightness lately?"
Du Sanniang's expression changed. She looked at her incredulously and stammered, "You, how did you know?"
She does have these symptoms, but she hadn't paid attention to them before. However, her condition has been getting worse in the past few days, and sometimes she even has difficulty breathing.
"Don't ask me how I know. I just felt your pulse was weak and irregular, which means you must have some kind of illness. Also, your lips are a bit purplish, which suggests you have heart palpitations."
After hearing her words, Du Sanniang did not immediately express her opinion, but when she saw Fu Xiaoyu behind her, she found it somewhat comical.
"If you, Li San, are so capable, why can't you heal the man behind you? Surely he's not a born idiot, is he?"
Du San Niang had been a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) before, and had seen all kinds of people. Just by looking at the man behind her, who exuded an air of nobility, she knew he was no ordinary person, and certainly not a fool.
"That's not true, but she can't cure him for now. I haven't figured out the cause of his illness, so I can't cure him."
Du Sanniang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll trust you this once. Quickly release my acupoints; maintaining this position is too tiring."
Her hands were stiff and numb; she was too tired.
After Cui Yulu put the silver needles away, Du Sanniang was free to move around.
Little Ah Huo, watching his hot-tempered mother being tamed by Cui Yulu, felt somewhat resentful.
"Mother, is my candied hawthorn just gone like that?"
"It's just a candied hawthorn. I'll go find Wang Dazhuang to buy you four. How about one for you and one for that brother?"
Little Ah Huo glanced at Fu Xiaoyu, and seeing that he was still staring intently at the candied hawthorn in his hand, he pouted and said, "Mommy, why are you giving it to him? I don't want it."
Seeing that he was unwilling, Du Sanniang grabbed his ear and said, "You brat, you said you'd be obedient, and now you're not willing to listen to me?"
Seeing that his mother was angry, Little Ah Huo quickly whispered, "We have to share! We'll give him the candied hawthorns when we get them."
Although she was unwilling, she still had to say yes to her mother's wife.
"That's my good child. It's settled then. Today, you'll be rewarded with ten fires. Remember to take your sister with you and have her help put them out. Don't let the forest catch fire."
Little Ah Huo ran off happily. Tonight he could finally set fires as he pleased. How wonderful!
Just after Xiao Ah Huo left happily, Du San Niang grabbed Cui Yu Lu's hand and said, "Sister, I have a bit of a temper, but I'm also a reasonable person, so please don't hold what happened just now against me."
Cui Yulu didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Fu Xiaoyu was a little agitated at the moment.
"Wife, no! She's bad, she hits people."
Fu Xiaoyu grabbed Cui Yulu's hand and tried to leave her, after all, Du Sanniang had just grabbed his neck and he could hardly breathe.
"Xiaoyu, my dear, shall I treat her illness?"
Fu Xiaoyu didn't understand what she meant by curing the illness, but she still stubbornly tried to pull her away.
"I said, you idiot, how can you be so insensible? If I were your wife, I would beat you eight hundred times a day."
Lai Guitou, who had come to fetch reinforcements, also brought Lao Guitou over.
Just then, I overheard Du Sanniang scolding Fu Xiaoyu, and I couldn't help but sigh that this woman's temper was as fiery as ever, and she didn't know how to restrain herself.
"Third Sister, these two children are new here. Please don't hold it against them for my sake, okay?"
Du Sanniang hadn't expected to alarm the old ghost, so she suppressed her temper and said with a smile, "Look at what you're saying, we're doing just fine, it's just that this young man is ignorant. You can take him away, I have something to talk to this girl about."
Lai Guitou and Xia Lan'er were surprised to see that the two people who were just like oil and water were now acting like sisters. They wondered what kind of temper Du San Niang had, and they were also very curious about what method Yu Lu had used to subdue Du San Niang.
I knew Du Sanniang was a notorious troublemaker; anyone who could befriend her truly needed a strong heart.
To everyone's surprise, this troublemaker was tamed by the little girl who had just woken up, which shocked the old man immensely.
"Can't you two have a little patience when you're doing things? Finish reading the work before coming to me. You're keeping me from getting any rest."
Old Ghost Head scolded Lai Ghost Head and Xia Lan'er, and the two of them felt a pang of heartache. They were clearly about to fight, so how did things turn out this way?
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
"I'd better take them all back with me so they don't bother you. You two come with me."
When Old Ghost speaks, others will give him some face, but Du Sanniang won't.
"I'm telling you, you old devil, you really don't understand. I already told you I have something to talk to the girl about, why can't you understand?"
Anyway, um, what's your name?
Du San Niang suddenly looked down at Cui Yu Lu, blinked her eyes, and asked.
"Rain and dew, I know my name is Rain and dew, but I don't know anything else."
Du San Niang was shocked and shouted, "So you've lost your memory too? Then everything you just said was just a coincidence?"
