Cui Yulu looked at her with a serious expression and slowly said, "Although I have amnesia, my medical skills are still there, and I can guarantee that what I just said is true."
"And your body is really in danger right now..."
Du Sanniang quickly stopped her, saying, "Alright, Yulu, I believe you, let's go back and talk."
Du Sanniang didn't want others to know about her health condition, after all, she was the one supporting everything in the family, and she couldn't afford any mistakes.
"Old Ghost Master, I'd better go for a walk with Third Sister and come back later."
Cui Yulu explained the situation to the old ghost and then prepared to go home with Du Sanniang.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xiaoyu ran over, grabbed Cui Yulu's arm, and refused to let her leave.
"My wife, don't go, I'm scared."
"Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, I'll be right back. I'll bring you some candied hawthorns, okay?"
Cui Yulu gently comforted him, her voice extremely tender, but Fu Xiaoyu completely ignored her, clinging to her and refusing to leave.
"Third Sister, you see, my husband can't be without me for a while, so why don't you take him with you? I guarantee he won't cause any trouble."
Du Sanniang was still a little sore from the beating he had given her, but it was clear that the two had a very good relationship, so he felt bad about separating them again.
So he nodded and said, "In that case, let's go together."
"You two stay close and don't let them get lost."
Old Ghost spoke up, so Lai Guitou and Xia Lan'er had no choice but to bite the bullet and go with him. Just like that, what could have been done by two people turned into a matter for four.
"You can come along, but I won't let you in. Just wait outside, understand?"
Lai Guitou was unwilling to go in the first place, but upon hearing this, he was even happier than if he had received news of an imperial amnesty.
"Don't worry, Third Sister. Lan'er and I will definitely not go inside. We'll just wait outside. We're just worried that the two of them will get lost. We don't mean anything else."
Du Sanniang glared at Lai Guitou and then fell silent.
The whole village was afraid of her. She wasn't that scary. She used to plan to explain, but now she was too lazy to explain anymore. She just let them be and was happy to have some peace and quiet.
The once quiet street became lively again after Du Sanniang left.
Seeing everyone's fear of Du Sanniang, Old Ghost couldn't help but admonish them, "We're all family. Don't let one thing cause us to drift apart. Sanniang is a kind-hearted person despite her cold exterior. You mustn't cause any divisions, understand?"
Old Ghost Head was the founder of this village and held considerable prestige within it. Although he was unwilling to participate in village affairs, everyone had to listen to his words.
"It's not that we don't want to get close to her, it's just that Du Sanniang's temper is too strange, and we really don't know how to deal with her."
"Yes, old ghost, it's not that we don't want to get close to her, it's that she doesn't want to get close to us. What can we do?"
Old Guitou looked at the stall that had been set up again with his hands behind his back and said with dissatisfaction, "You have a lot of people after all. It's not very nice of you to hide when you see people coming. If I were you, I wouldn't want to get close to people who are hiding from me either. Put yourself in their shoes. If everyone was avoiding you, would you feel good?"
After a moment of silence, Old Ghost Head walked straight back to his cave with his hands behind his back. He hadn't slept well for more than half a month, and now he needed to catch up on some sleep.
The mountain is in the dead of winter, but here it is warm as spring, and wildflowers of various colors are blooming along the roadside. It is like a paradise on earth.
Looking at the wildflowers by the roadside, Cui Yulu felt exceptionally cheerful.
Seeing her happy, Fu Xiaoyu felt inexplicably happy herself, and casually picked a wildflower from the roadside to put on Cui Yulu's head.
"My wife is beautiful."
Is it really good-looking?
Du San Niang glanced at Fu Xiaoyu, who looked like a child, and nodded to Cui Yulu.
"I never expected that your silly husband would be so caring and have such good taste. If this flower were on someone else's head, they would definitely look like a madam, but it makes your skin look even whiter and makes you look more charming."
Cui Yulu never expected that Du Sanniang could praise people. Her words were quite pleasant to hear. She just couldn't understand why everyone was avoiding her.
"Has Du San Niang really changed her personality? Why is she praising others like this?"
Xia Lan'er asked Lai Guitou in a low voice, only to be glared at by him.
"Didn't your master tell you to say less? You like that Xiaoyu, right? Go and pull him over here."
Seeing Fu Xiaoyu left behind, Xia Lan'er quickly and happily walked over.
"Xiaoyu, how about I play with you?"
Fu Xiaoyu glanced at Xia Lan'er and quickly shook his head.
"No, you're too scary-looking. I don't want to play with you. I want to play with my wife."
Xia Lan'er glared at the lazybones who was mocking her, then clung to him again: "Little Yu Yu, what you said hurt my feelings. How am I inferior to your wife?"
Fu Xiaoyu shook off her hand and angrily shouted, "Don't hold me anymore! I'm getting angry! Don't you even look in the mirror? How dare you ask me? If I tell you, will you stop bothering me?"
Lai Guitou was so angry he almost injured himself trying to suppress his laughter. It was the first time he'd ever seen a man that Xia Lan'er couldn't handle; it was truly an eye-opener.
At this moment, Cui Yulu saw the three of them fooling around together, so she didn't pay any more attention to Fu Xiaoyu. After all, she would need to take off her clothes to treat Du Sanniang later, and it would be inconvenient for Fu Xiaoyu to go in with her.
"Lai Guitou, I'm leaving Xiaoyu in your care for now. Take good care of him and don't let him get lost, understand?"
When Lai Guitou heard Cui Yulu call him, he quickly ran over with a smile and listened carefully.
"Don't worry, Yulu, I'll take good care of him. You can go without worry. And while you're at it, why don't you consider me too? I'm definitely a good..."
Before Lai Guitou could finish speaking, Cui Yulu had already disappeared, leaving him alone talking to the air.
"Hahaha, does it feel good to talk to thin air? You look like an idiot. Don't you look in the mirror? How can your face compare to Xiaoyu's? You make people look at you. One look at you and they can't eat for three days. It's really a torment."
"Xia Lan'er, you shrew, what else can you do besides laugh at me? Every time, I'm the one who has to cover your retreat. You have no conscience to talk to me like that."
The two were arguing so fiercely that they didn't notice that Fu Xiaoyu had already disappeared from their sight.
Just as the two came to their senses, they realized that Fu Xiaoyu had disappeared.
"It's all your fault! Now look what's happened, what are we going to do if we can't find him?"
"Doesn't this have anything to do with you? If you hadn't argued with me, would he have been lost?"
The two started arguing again, completely unaware that a pair of eyes were watching them from behind the tree, and that Fu Xiaoyu was in her hands.
"Two idiots!"
