The three of them bickered all the way back to the cave. Of course, the main arguing were Lai Guitou and Xia Lan'er, while Cui Yulu just listened from the side.
Fu Xiaoyu had been waiting anxiously in the cave for a long time, constantly muttering in the old ghost's ear, "Why hasn't my wife returned yet? Is she in danger?"
The annoyed old man couldn't even sleep.
So I sat up and counted and arranged the stones with him, and then found him a small wooden box to store the stones.
The more Old Ghost looked at Fu Xiaoyu, the more he liked her, just like he liked Fu Yunshan back then.
"Old ghost, say something! How many are there now?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Fu Xiaoyu nudged him with her hand, gesturing for him to look at the stones on the ground.
"Child, I'm asking you, is your surname Fu? Are you a member of the Yuan Dynasty royal family?"
Fu Xiaoyu seemed not to understand these words and continued to look down at the stones on the ground.
"Hey, I was so focused on my old friend that I forgot you're out of your mind. Let's talk about it when you remember."
The old man touched the warm, smooth jade pendant in his hand. The inscription on it was a little blurry, but the memory would not be erased.
Just as Fu Xiaoyu was about to lose her temper again, the sound of Cui Yulu and the others talking came from outside the cave, indicating that they were getting along quite well.
Old Ghost Head was relieved. These two people were definitely not simple. Although they had both lost their memories, Cui Yulu had a jade bracelet with cloud and thunder patterns unique to foreign lands, which only people with special identities could possess.
"Lai Guitou, try to catch two wild rabbits and two pheasants tomorrow. If you can catch some fish, you'd better catch a few too. I'll cook something delicious for you."
Cui Yulu reminded Lai Guitou that tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and since they haven't celebrated it for many years, they should all celebrate together.
"My wife is back."
Upon hearing Cui Yulu's voice, Fu Xiaoyu rushed out like a sword leaving its sheath and picked up Cui Yulu in his arms.
"Why did it take you so long to come back, my wife? I missed you."
Cui Yulu was so breathless from his embrace that she had to take his hands off her.
"Don't be silly, I'm going to rescue someone. How about I make you candied hawthorns tomorrow?"
When Fu Xiaoyu saw his hand being taken away, he looked at her with a somewhat aggrieved expression: "I don't want candied hawthorns, I only want my wife."
Seeing his expression, Cui Yulu couldn't bear to refuse him any longer, so she patted his back to soothe him.
"My wife, come and see! A stone, a beautiful stone."
Fu Xiaoyu pulled her straight to the old ghost head, where the stones were still placed at his feet.
When the old man saw Cui Yulu come in, he still had a gentle and kind smile on his face.
"Little girl, you know medicine, so you should have woken up by now, right?"
When suddenly asked the question, Cui Yulu was a little embarrassed, but there was no need to hide it.
"I didn't wake up very early, I only woke up today, just a little earlier than Xiaoyu."
The old man stroked his beard, chuckled, and nodded: "Little girl, don't be nervous. I don't mean to pursue anything. I just want to know if you can also cure your amnesia?"
Hearing this, Cui Yulu didn't know how to answer for a moment. She had thought about healing Fu Xiaoyu or healing herself, but since the two of them had fallen off this cliff, they must have experienced something bad before.
“Actually, recovering memories is very simple; it only takes a few acupuncture treatments. But I don’t want to do that. We both fell off this cliff. If it weren’t for you two rescuing us, we would probably be dead by now. Since God has allowed us to lose those painful memories, we don’t want to go against fate. It’s good to live happily like this, forgetting the troubles of the world. We can build a small thatched hut here, and the two of us can have three meals a day and enjoy the four seasons. Don’t you think so?”
Lai Guitou, who was standing to the side, was almost in tears. Yu Lu was so good at speaking, he was so moved.
"Silly boy, it's not like she's living with you all year round, what are you crying about?" Xia Lan'er interrupted Lai Guitou's fantasy at an inopportune moment, and the two inevitably had another verbal battle.
"Since that's what you think, then you're welcome to stay here."
The old ghost threw her two jade pendants.
"This is a symbol of identity for villagers of Ghost Cave Village. With it, you are officially a member of the village, and no one will dare to bully you in the future."
Cui Yulu took the jade pendant and gave one to Fu Xiaoyu, keeping one for herself.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master."
She was too embarrassed to call him "Old Ghost," so she followed Xia Lan'er and the others in calling him "Master."
Old Ghost Head burst into laughter after hearing this.
"Actually, I'd prefer to hear you two call me grandfather. What do you say?"
Cui Yulu glanced at the kind old man in front of her and felt that she wouldn't lose anything by calling him grandfather.
Moreover, the way he looked at Xiaoyu always conveyed a sense of affection, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him grandfather.
"Since you don't mind us, we're naturally willing."
So she pulled Fu Xiaoyu over, straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes, and stood formally in front of him: "Greetings, Grandfather."
Fu Xiaoyu didn't understand why she did this, but seeing his wife do it, he followed suit and said, "Grandfather, are you well?"
Old Ghost Head looked at the two girls, whose faces still held kind smiles, and casually took out two Black Gold Pills from his pocket and handed them to them.
"These two pills are a small gift for you. Taking them will cure diseases and avert disasters, strengthen your body, and greatly help your recovery."
Cui Yulu and Fu Xiaoyu didn't show anything unusual, but Xia Lan'er and Lai Guitou stared wide-eyed.
They had asked their master for these two pills for a long time, but he hadn't been willing to give them to them. Now he had given them to two people he had just met. This was really unfair.
Despite their jealousy, the two didn't say anything. Their master had his reasons for doing this, and they naturally supported him.
"Thank you for your kindness, Grandfather. We won't stand on ceremony then. I happen to have some pills here that can prolong life and increase one's power. I'll give them to you, Grandfather."
Old Ghost Head accepted it with a smile.
Cui Yulu then came to Xia Lan'er and the other girl, and took out a small, openwork box inlaid with gemstones from the small cloth bag she was carrying, and handed it to Xia Lan'er.
"Sister Lan'er, the pills here can maintain your beautiful appearance and enhance your charm. I developed them before, but I haven't met the right person for them until now. So I'm giving them to you."
Her words delighted Xia Lan'er; who doesn't like to be praised?
Especially for a woman like Xia Lan'er who is confident in her beauty, she loves to be praised by others.
Lai Guitou, who had been eagerly waiting, stretched out his hand: "They all have them, so do you have any for me?"
Who knew that Fu Xiaoyu would snatch the item from Cui Yulu's hand?
"Wife, I'll give it to him."
