Inside the stone chamber, Fu Xiaoyu had already arranged all the stones, and even specially found a stone with more colors, carefully wrapping it up.
"Give me a brocade box, and I'll give this stone to my wife. She'll definitely like it."
Hu Binglan was surprised that this fool actually understood such romance, so she didn't make things difficult for him and went straight out to find him a brocade box.
But right after she left, the two children stumbled into the stone chamber.
What are you doing here?
Little Ah Huo angrily pointed at Fu Xiaoyu, clearly still upset that his candied hawthorn had been soiled.
"Hmph, if I don't give it to you, don't try to take it."
Fu Xiaoyu held all the stones in her arms, treating them like precious treasures.
"Tsk tsk, I don't care. But what are you doing here? Where's that lady? Why isn't she with you?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyu suddenly froze, slapping his forehead and thinking for a long time before finally saying, "I... I was with your mother, and she told me to wait. How did I get here?"
He started to panic, looking around the stone chamber and muttering to himself.
"How did I end up here? I'm looking for my wife."
Little Ah Huo couldn't help but laugh at him for his silly look: "Haha, what are you doing wandering around like that, you don't even know your wife ran away."
Upon hearing that his wife had run away, Fu Xiaoyu completely lost control, shoved aside Xiao Ah Huo, and ran out.
There were no guards around the stone chamber, no wonder Little Ah Huo and Little Ah Shui entered as if they were in an empty place.
Originally, Hu Binglan had only found this stone chamber temporarily, and she was just a vanguard to gather information. However, she did not expect to bring Fu Xiaoyu back so easily.
Therefore, this stone chamber was just a temporary base. There were no guards outside and no traps inside. Now that she had gone out to look for the brocade box, Fu Xiaoyu was naturally no longer restricted.
Hu Binglan thought this place was already very secret, but she never expected it to be Xiao A Huo's secret base.
Chased by the two little ones, Fu Xiaoyu ran straight out of the stone chamber.
"You big idiot, where are you going? We'll take you there."
Little Ah Huo bounced around him, his mouth never stopping.
The sound quickly attracted the attention of Hu Binglan, who had just walked a short distance away.
She leaped to the front of the three of them.
She glared at the two little ones with her almond-shaped eyes and said angrily, "Where did these little rascals come from, daring to cause trouble here? Watch out for your skin!"
Little Ah Huo and Ah Shui had never seen this person before in the village, so they naturally became wary.
"Who are you? Do you have Old Ghost's authorization token? You look unfamiliar to me, you're definitely not from our village, are you?"
Hu Binglan looked at the two little ones with a smile, completely ignoring them.
"Didn't your parents teach you that meddling in other people's business will get you a beating?"
Hu Binglan took out a silver whip and held it in her hand, intending to scare the two children. But to her surprise, the two little brats were not afraid when they saw the whip in her hand; instead, they laughed.
"Hehe, sister, do you think I can set her on fire?"
"My mother said that you can teach bad people a lesson without fear, because she will protect you."
With Ah Shui's approval, Xiao Ah Huo's little face turned serious.
Her big, dark eyes looked at Hu Binglan, then turned to look at Fu Xiaoyu.
"I'll help you out of respect for that older sister. I didn't expect you to be so popular with women, despite your seemingly naive appearance. I'll definitely tell that older sister when I get back that you're a real handful."
Fu Xiaoyu looked at Xiao A Huo, thinking he was going to snatch her stone, and quickly hugged the stone tightly to her chest.
"I won't give it to you. This one is nicer, and my wife likes it."
"Tch, I wouldn't even take it if you gave it to me. If you want to curry favor with me, I know a place where there are even prettier stones, believe me or not?"
Fu Xiaoyu, holding the stone, looked at Xiao A Huo with a face full of expectation and asked naively, "Is it true?"
"Hey, hey, are you two ever going to stop? This man is mine, you two get out of my way."
Hu Binglan lashed out with her whip, kicking up clouds of dust.
Little Ah Huo was not to be trifled with either; he hurled a burst of flames, setting Hu Binglan's light pink tulle dress ablaze.
The pain brought tears to her eyes.
The flames leaped up quickly, and soon Hu Binglan's entire body was engulfed in flames.
As she shouted, no one noticed the head that popped out from the ground.
Taking advantage of the chaos, he grabbed Fu Xiaoyu and dragged him to the ground, then disappeared.
Hu Binglan's skin was covered in blisters from the burns. She cherished her fair and smooth skin the most, and now that it was covered in blisters, she couldn't tolerate it.
She wielded a silver whip with great skill, making it look like a silver snake dancing up and down.
However, she was in a lot of pain, and the power of the whip had weakened considerably.
The two little ones nimbly dodged the attack and mercilessly mocked her, which really infuriated Hu Binglan.
"Little brother, we should go back now, or Mother will worry."
Ah Shui glanced at Hu Binglan, who was exhausted from the ordeal, and decided that there was no point in fighting her, so he decided to go home.
But when she turned to look for Fu Xiaoyu, he was nowhere to be found; Fu Xiaoyu had vanished without a trace.
"Little brother, that man has disappeared. Did he run away again?"
Xiao Ah Huo stopped what he was doing, looked around, and found no one.
"Hey, you naughty woman, wait a minute. That man is missing. Let's stop and look for him."
Hu Binglan was already covered in burns and had no time to care about Fu Xiaoyu's life or death.
Her most important task right now is to take care of her skin, otherwise she will be looked down upon when she sees the young master.
However, thinking of how the young master had always wanted Fu Xiaoyu, she had originally hoped to make a contribution this time, but unexpectedly, these two little devils had ruined it.
He even burned himself into this inhuman, ghostly state.
"Hmph, I won't hold it against you kids today, but you'd better watch out next time, or I'll break your arms and legs."
Hu Binglan limped away from Ghost Cave Village, dragging her injured body. She hadn't expected to be bullied by those two brats today, and she was really determined to get revenge.
Little Ah Huo and Ah Shui didn't take her words to heart, and instead held hands and went home together.
They had long since put Fu Xiaoyu's matter out of their minds. Anyway, if an adult like him disappeared, someone would always look for him, so they didn't need to worry about it.
At this moment, Cui Yulu had finished acupuncture on Du Sanniang, put away the silver needles, and took out a box of pills from her backpack and handed it to Du Sanniang.
"Remember to take this medicine; it will help with your condition."
Actually, she was just using the backpack as a cover to take the pills out of her storage space.
There were many medicines in the space, probably all of which he had secretly developed before.
"Hey, have you found Xiaoyu yet? She's about to come out!"
Xia Lan'er looked at Lai Guitou, who had popped his head out from underground, and asked anxiously.
