"It's none of your business what I do. I have my own way of treating him. Please leave and don't bother me here."
Cui Yulu gestured for Qiao Yuzhu with an unfriendly expression. She hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Qiao Yuzhu. She simply disliked others interfering with her medical skills, especially Qiao Yuzhu.
"You think I'll just leave because you tell me to? No way! What did you do to him? He just bumped his forehead and broke it, how come he still hasn't woken up?"
"Yuzhu, treating illnesses depends on the patient's condition. We can't rush things. Let's not bother Yulu now, since she's more anxious than any of us, isn't she?"
Lai Guitou tried to comfort Qiao Yuzhu in a low voice, but she completely ignored him.
"Don't talk to me like that. Everyone knows you're in cahoots. Give Fu Xiaoyu back to me right now, or I won't be polite."
Qiao Yuzhu's hidden weapons were unparalleled in the village, and no one could withstand them. However, this time she miscalculated. When she reached for her hidden weapons, Cui Yulu used silver needles to immobilize her acupoints, rendering her unable to move.
"You...you learned how to use hidden weapons from Brother Xiaoyu?"
"That's right. Can you give up now? Our relationship is not as simple as you think. And those things you said to Fu Xiaoyu, those bets you made, I find them all ridiculous. It's not that I don't want Fu Xiaoyu, but even if he's by your side, he only has me in his heart."
Qiao Yuzhu was completely unable to move, her watery eyes staring fiercely at Cui Yulu, wishing she could skin her alive and eat her flesh.
“It’s no use glaring at me. You know better than anyone that Fu Xiaoyu doesn’t like you. I didn’t bother with you before because I didn’t want to embarrass you too much. But you’ve provoked me time and time again. This time I won’t tolerate it. Third Sister, get her out of here and don’t let her come back in.”
Third Sister was so happy that she immediately gave Cui Yulu a thumbs up: "Well done, this is Yulu's personality, I like it."
After saying that, she carried Qiao Yuzhu out of the stone cave. It was the first time that Lai Guitou and Xia Lan'er had seen Cui Yulu lose her temper, and they were quite shocked. The two of them pulled the little mute boy and quickly followed San Niang out of the stone cave.
The cave fell silent immediately, leaving only Cui Yulu and Fu Xiaoyu inside.
At this moment, Fu Xiaoyu on the stone bed seemed to be in great pain. His tightly furrowed brows never relaxed, and he rolled around on the stone bed in agony.
"What's wrong with you? What happened in your dream?"
Cui Yulu looked at Fu Xiaoyu with a pained expression. His pulse was normal, but he just wouldn't wake up, and his body temperature was alarmingly high.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, so she was inevitably a little at a loss.
They quickly found a damp cloth to cool him down, and when the cool cloth was placed on his head, his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
What followed was incoherent rambling. Cui Yulu touched his face with concern, but he suddenly grabbed her hand.
"I'm sorry, Rain Dew. I failed to protect you. This time I will protect you and never leave you again."
Cui Yulu seemed to have a slight recollection of these words; she remembered hearing him say them when she fell off the cliff.
"You silly girl, you still remember that line? I almost forgot it if you hadn't mentioned it. But you're really not being good enough these days, always making me angry. Are you pretending to be asleep? Wake up right now, or I'll get angry."
Cui Yulu's fingertips gently brushed across his face, and Fu Xiaoyu felt a tickle on his face, so he subconsciously turned over, and Cui Yulu was pulled beneath him.
"Is it really you, Rain Dew, or am I dreaming?"
Fu Xiaoyu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the shy little figure beneath him, her watery eyes filled with tears.
"Why are you crying? Don't cry. I won't hurt you. I've wanted to protect you since the first time I saw you."
"Who needs your protection? I can protect myself. You should get better quickly and not need my protection."
Fu Xiaoyu laughed happily upon hearing her words: "When have I ever needed your protection?"
Cui Yulu seemed to recognize that expression; it was an expression that had never appeared on Fu Xiaoyu's face after he became mentally impaired. Could it be...?
Cui Yulu quickly pushed him away, sat up, and looked at him: "Tell me your name, who am I?"
I thought he would sit up and tell me everything, but who knew he would faint again? Could it be that I was just overthinking things?
Seeing that he had fallen asleep again, probably due to the fever, Cui Yulu brought some more blankets to keep him warm at night.
Outside the cave, Qiao Yuzhu, unable to speak, was carried home by Du Sanniang. To be on the safe side, Du Sanniang tied her up.
"Du Sanniang, is this how you treat people? I have no grudge against you, why are you targeting me like this?"
"If you want to steal my sister's husband, of course I'll side with my sister. It just means you're taking the wrong man. There are so many men out there, why did you have to go after my sister's man? You can't blame me for this, you should reflect on your own actions."
After Du Sanniang finished speaking, she got up and left Qiao Yuzhu's stone cave.
"How I wish I could like someone else, but I just can't. What can I do?"
As Du Sanniang walked back, when she passed a section of mountain path along a cliff, a black figure suddenly descended, and there seemed to be a touch of white on his body.
She instinctively raised her hand and caught the dark figure with her bare hands. Even though she was very strong, catching something falling from such a height still made her stagger back a few steps.
She stood firmly in the last horse stance, the man in her arms remained asleep, but the little white wolf on his body was the first to wake up.
With a howl, a pair of blue wolf eyes stared at her warily, ready to bite her neck if she made another move.
"Wow, this little guy is pretty good. But how did you guys get down from up there?"
Du Sanniang was strong and carried Tuoba Xuan without any effort. She was just curious about how the man had gotten down from there. He must have been injured, otherwise how could this thing that was as strong as an ox have fallen down?
Seeing that she meant no harm, Roubao jumped down and followed behind her.
However, its nose was quite sensitive, and it sensed that the woman was walking in the direction of Cui Yulu's scent. So it let out a howl and quickly darted ahead, signaling Du Sanniang to follow it.
"Haha, you little thing, you want to lead the way for me? But I know the way here much better than you do. I can go in and out with my eyes closed. You'd better get behind me, or don't come begging for mercy if someone catches you."
Meat Bun is quite perceptive; upon hearing her words, it quickly hid at her feet. There was no other way; even a wolf under a low eaves has to bow its head.
"Oh my, what a good boy. I'll take you to see a doctor. Come with me obediently."
What's going on today? The rain and dew business is really booming.
