In the atmosphere where the mountains and the rain are about to come and the wind is full of buildings, life has once again returned to peace.
The departure of Xuanyu and the Winter God also took away the cold air from Lu Qingjiu's body, so that he wouldn't be too hard in winter, and he didn't have to be nailed to the warm kang like before. Now Lu Qingjiu can play in the snow as long as he wears a little thicker clothes, and he doesn't have to worry about getting a fever.
The snowfall is not as continuous as before, and the sunny days have become more frequent.
Bai Yuehu began to bring back some fresh ingredients from outside every day. At first, it was birds and animals that tasted better. Later, he became addicted to fresh seafood.
Unlike the seafood in the human world, the seafood brought back by Bai Yuehu from another world is big and fresh. For example, the fresh shrimp that looks similar to the human world, but are as big as a human's calf, were caught by Bai Yuehu. When I brought it back with a bunch of it, it was still alive and kicking, and it looked very tempting. Lu Qingjiu also felt that the other world was not that bad, at least for humans who take food as their heaven, the other world is full of some indescribable charm.
The practice of fresh shrimp is much more than that of frozen shrimp. After steaming, it is delicious enough to be dipped in soy sauce. It can also be mashed to make shrimp slippery soup or hot pot. All in all, there are many ways to eat shrimp, but the only thing in common is It tastes good everywhere.
Lu Qingjiu made a shrimp ball soup, steamed a few, and stir-fried a few. Although the shrimp was big, the meat was very tender, and it didn't look old and woody at all. After Bai Yuehu's introduction, Lu Qingjiu realized that the shrimp was actually a newborn cub. The adult shrimp was the size of a human being, but the shrimp at that time were a bit too old, and the taste was not as good as it is now.
However, Lu Qingjiu was still thinking about how big a shrimp as big as a person would be...
In addition to shrimp, other seafood has not fallen, such as crabs, lobsters, abalone and sea cucumbers. In short, the food that can be seen in the human world is almost the same in the other world, and substitutes can be found for all of them.
Lu Qingjiu stewed the soup with abalone. In the cold winter, drinking it is not only delicious but also can remove the chills from the body. It can be said that he likes it very much.
It's just that some people can't watch their happy little days.
Lu Qingjiu didn't expect that Ao Run would come straight to the door and fight Bai Yuehu on the spot.
The place where they fought was in the yard by the door. At first, when Lu Qingjiu saw the two of them rushing together, he was worried that the fight would destroy the family, but it turned out that he was really worried because the white Neither Yuehu nor Aorun used strong power. The two of them were pinching each other purely by virtue of their physical qualities, and they had no intention of destroying the entire family. But even so, the yard was still in a mess, the walls collapsed a lot, and the original chicken coop was flattened.
Aorun had a hateful expression on his face, and Bai Yuehu was not to be outdone, but the two dragons fought like two human beings. They didn't use any magic, and they were all punches to the flesh. Lu Qingjiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw it. He wanted to step forward to stop it, but seeing the two of them fighting so hard and fearing that he would be accidentally injured, he could only stand by and worry.
Yin Xun didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun, so he took out two roasted sweet potatoes from the house and handed them to Lu Qingjiu, saying that we should eat and watch, but don't let your body get cold.
Lu Qingjiu originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that Bai Yuehu and Ao Run had no intention of stopping, they took over and warmed their hands while nibbling on them.
What Lu Qingjiu didn't expect was that Bai Yuehu and Ao Run were fighting, and he actually heard the two quarreling. Ao Run was scolding Bai Yuehu for being ruthless and unjust, while Bai Yuehu yelled at Ao Run more. Mind your own business. At first, Lu Qingjiu's expression became dull when he heard the quarrel, because he had only heard the voice of the red-haired Aorun before, but he didn't expect the black-haired grandfather to be able to speak.
"They are really noisy." Lu Qingjiu said.
"Noisy? What's the noise?" Yin Xun's face was blank, "Did they talk?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "... Can't you hear me?"
Yin Xun shook his head, indicating that he didn't hear anything. Lu Qingjiu took a closer look, only to find that Ao Run and Bai Yuehu did not open their mouths. inside.
"Ao Yue, you refused to let Lu Qingjiu go—don't you know that he would die if he stayed here?" Ao Run was still roaring, "Do you consider him your lover?"
"Why does my lover need you to put his beak?" Bai Yuehu retorted coldly, "If he wants to stay, I will respect his opinion, unlike you, who has always been so arbitrary and doesn't care what the object of giving wants to do. Do not want!"
The two of them were arguing hotly, but Lu Qingjiu was a little worried. It was almost lunch time. How long would the two of them be arguing? He tentatively called out in his mind, "Hey, can you hear me? ?"
The movements of Bai Yuehu and Ao Run stopped instantly, and the two turned their heads at the same time, showing a surprised expression to Lu Qingjiu.
"Can you hear?" Lu Qingjiu continued to shout in his mind, "How long are you going to fight?"
Ao Run immediately released Bai Yuehu, he got up from the snow, patted the snow off his clothes twice, and returned to his gentle appearance, walked towards Lu Qingjiu with a gentle smile: "Wine! , can you hear us?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "Yeah... I just heard it." He glanced at Yin Xun, who was a little confused, "Can't others hear it?"
Ao Run explained: "This is the sound that can only be heard by the Dragon Clan." He had tried to talk to Lu Qingjiu in this way before, but Lu Qingjiu didn't respond to the sound at all, so he had to communicate with Lu Qingjiu by writing. . Although this method is common to dragons, Lu Qingjiu only has a quarter of dragon blood, so it is normal to hear it. However, today Lu Qingjiu actually captured the content of his communication with Bai Yuehu, but then again, such a Come on, didn't he hear himself swearing
Thinking of this, Ao Run gave Bai Yuehu a cold look.
Bai Yuehu gritted her teeth secretly, thinking bitterly that if it wasn't for Gu Lu Qingjiu's face, he would have to fight Ao Run.
"Jiu'er." Ao Run's voice came from his mind, which was not much different from the red-haired Ao Run. He walked to Lu Qingjiu's side, stretched out his hand and gently swept away the snowflakes above his head. "Come inside, it's cold outside."
"Grandpa, I'm fine." Lu Qingjiu said, "Don't fight Bai Yuehu..."
Ao Run said: "I just didn't expect him to be so selfish." He was still a little unhappy, "You have cold in your body, how can you stay in Shuifu Village, I have made a way for you before, I just want you leave early..."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Now I don't have the cold in my body anymore."
Ao Run frowned. The reason why he froze Lu Qingjiu was to force Bai Yuehu to send Lu Qingjiu away. Whether Bai Yuehu wanted to or not, Lu Qingjiu, who continued to stay in Shuifu Village, would definitely not be able to handle it. Yes, in this way, Lu Qingjiu had to leave to avoid what was about to happen. Ao Run originally thought that his plan was perfect, but he didn't expect that when he came back here again after a few days, he found that Lu Qingjiu was still at home, and he looked alive.
"Winter God helped me drive away the cold air in my body." Lu Qingjiu said, "I don't need to leave anymore."
When Aorun heard the words, his expression was complicated, but he stopped talking.
However, Bai Yuehu walked up to Lu Qingjiu's side, directly took Lu Qingjiu's hand, and said, "Ji'er, I'm hungry." He raised his chin defiantly.
Ao Run was so angry that he almost rolled up his sleeves again and started to fight Bai Yuehu.
Lu Qingjiu hurriedly persuaded the two of them to stop, saying that we can continue after lunch, it's almost ten o'clock, and we won't be able to eat anymore.
Under the temptation of food, Bai Yuehu and Ao Run finally chose a truce, but the two still couldn't get used to each other, and you provoked each other with every word.
And Yin Xun was the most embarrassed in the whole process. He stood beside him foolishly nibbling on his own roasted sweet potato. He didn't understand how the group of them reached a consensus without saying a word. What did you say behind your back...
It was the first time that Lu Qingjiu invited Ao Run into the house and invited him to lunch.
Ao Run was obviously surprised by Lu Qingjiu's invitation. Although he didn't like Bai Yuehu, he suppressed his irritable emotions and returned to the gentle appearance he had seen before. Bai Yuehu also endured it and gave Ao Run a face. Although he didn't like Ao Run's self-assertion, in the final analysis, Ao Run was also Lu Qingjiu's grandfather, and it seemed that Lu Qingjiu didn't want to blame him.
"Why don't you go." Ao Run was in the kitchen, bowing his head to help Lu Qingjiu handle the fresh vegetables that Bai Yuehu brought back from outside yesterday, "If you want, I can clear the road for you again..."
Lu Qingjiu shook his head with a firm tone: "No, I'm not leaving."
Ao Run said: "But you will die."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Is it certain?"
Ao Run frowned slightly and did not answer the question.
Lu Qingjiu was chopping the meat into stuffing and planning to make meatballs and fry it in the pot. While chopping the meat, he said, "But if I leave, Bai Yuehu will die, right?" He remembered what Xuanyu said.
Ao Run continued to be silent.
"Grandpa, do you know what will happen next?" Lu Qingjiu said, "Can you tell me?"
Aorun sighed and said, "The Four Seasons God has died, and the next step is to merge the two worlds..."
"Then do you want the two worlds to merge?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
Ao Run raised his head, he closed his eyes, but seemed to stare at Lu Qingjiu's face, he said, "I don't care about the two worlds, I only care about you." Lu Qingjiu is her descendant and the only human with dragon blood. , he naturally wanted to do everything possible to keep him alive, but now it seems that Lu Qingjiu gave up his last chance.
"You still have a last chance." Ao Run said, "Even if you stay, you may not be able to save Bai Yuehu. But if you leave, you will definitely survive. After the two worlds merge, I can protect you. I'll find you a French book that was once practiced by the great masters of the human world, and then..."
Listening to what he said, Lu Qingjiu looked at Bai Yuehu. When he was talking to Aorun, Bai Yuehu kept quiet all the time. The messy dishes that Bai Yuehu tossed around showed that he was not as calm as he appeared to be. Lu Qingjiu suspected that if Bai Yuehu showed his hairy ears at this moment, those ears must be standing carefully. up.
"Well, I know." Lu Qingjiu said, "Thank you grandpa, but I know what I want."
Ao Run said: "Do you really know?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "I know, at that time my parents died unexpectedly, and I wanted to take my grandma out, but my grandma refused. She said that Shuifu Village was her root, and there were people she wanted to protect here. I didn't understand it at the time, but I understand now." He laughed, "If grandma was still here, she would definitely stay."
Speaking of grandma, Ao Run's expression revealed a hint of unnoticeable pain. He had a lot to say to Lu Qingjiu, but these words finally turned into a deep sigh: "Okay, I respect your choice."
Lu Qingjiu was relieved, knowing that Aorun would not stop him on purpose.
But even so, the atmosphere in the kitchen was still very strange. Yin Xun was sitting in the living room and really didn't dare to come in. Lu Qingjiu asked him what was wrong when he was serving the dishes, and he said, "Nothing, just change the creature and find that there are two people in the house. A quarter of a dragon can't take it."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Your count is too accurate.
Because my grandfather stayed for lunch, Lu Qingjiu specially made a hearty lunch today, with meatballs stewed with tomato, steamed tempeh fish, braised trotters, sauerkraut slippery pork vermicelli soup, and one vegetarian dish and one cold dish. The portions are plentiful, and a large plate is placed on the table.
When Ao Run came to the table, he seemed a little cautious. It seemed that he hadn't had a good meal for a long time, but after he opened his mouth, Lu Qingjiu still felt a little tingling in his heart when he noticed his empty mouth. It stands to reason that Lu Qingjiu's mother was swallowed by Ao Run himself, but he couldn't feel any blame for Ao Run. After getting along with him all the way, he did not feel any malice from Ao Run, he could only feel strong A strong loving heart.
Ao Run eats very seriously. He has to chew each bite for a long time, and then swallow it slowly, which is very similar to how Bai Yuehu was just brought into the house at first.
When Lu Qingjiu looked at him, he thought of Bai Yuehu who couldn't get enough to eat, and felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't show it, he just quietly helped Ao Run add food beside him.
Today, Bai Yuehu is rarely seen without food protection, and even put down the bowl after eating a bowl of rice, saying that he is full and has something to do, so he got up and went out. Yin Xun was also clever once, and after eating a bowl, he said that he would help Bai Yuehu clean up the yard, leaving Lu Qingjiu and Aorun with meals and alone time.
Ao Run received the kindness of the two of them. While eating, he slowly spoke to Lu Qingjiu in a way unique to the Dragon Clan. He chatted a lot about the past, and talked about his first encounter with his grandmother.
"Your grandma is not very good at cooking." Ao Run said, "Before I moved in, she ate pickles and rice every day, and she was not very thin."
Lu Qingjiu listened, in fact, after he was born, grandma could control the heat perfectly and make delicious food. At that time, Aorun had left her lover for many years, and she was forced to learn to live alone, but the sadness hidden in these simple words was difficult to describe in words.
"She likes everything I do." Ao Run said, "I eat a lot of everything." He was talking about old things, and there was nostalgia and tenderness in his expression that Lu Qingjiu had never seen before, "It's just that although I eat a lot, I eat a lot. I'm not fat at all, I don't know where to eat."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Grandma is very thin." Until she left this world, she was a thin old lady. Other old people in the village tended to gain weight when they got older, but she was still the thin one. Look It hurts.
"Well." Ao Run said, "Everything was fine at that time, until I was contaminated."
This was the first time that Ao Run had talked about pollution, and Lu Qingjiu's heart tightened slightly.
But Ao Run didn't say much about this matter. It seemed that he didn't even understand why he was polluted, but he told Lu Qingjiu a detail, that is, the dragons who are in love with humans will be more easily polluted. , As for why, he didn't explain it, maybe he didn't even understand it himself.
Ao Run also talked a lot about grandma when she was young, about their love, separation, and the birth of their child.
"I was forced to leave at the time, and when I came back again, your mother was already three years old." Ao Run said this with a smile, "Humans looked like this when they were young, completely different from the dragons..."
"Can't the dragons change shape when they were young?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
Ao Run said: "Yeah, the dragons looked like little dragons when they were young. They have to wait until they become adults and take off the horns of the young dragons before they can turn into humanoids... The little dragon's patriarch is similar to a snake, not cute at all."
He didn't expect Ao Run to be so straightforward, Lu Qingjiu immediately thought of Bai Yuehu who was hurt by him, um... In this way, Bai Yuehu, who was despised by children, seemed to be excusable.
"Human beings are different." Ao Run seemed to be in a good mood, and even said a lot, "soft, small, it will fall down when pushed, and will cry when it falls down, with a red nose..."
Lu Qingjiu strongly suspected that Ao Run had bullied his daughter behind his grandmother's back, otherwise why would he describe it in such detail.
"But it doesn't matter if you cry." Ao Run said, "Just put a candy in your mouth, it's easy to coax."
Lu Qingjiu said suspiciously, "Grandpa... You don't do this often, do you?"
Ao Run: "No."
Lu Qingjiu: "Really not?"
Ao Run said calmly, "Just do it once or twice."
Lu Qingjiu: "…"
Ao Run suddenly remembered something and said, "Ji'er, haven't your young dragon horns been taken off yet?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "Yeah." This young dragon's horn is extremely sensitive, and he usually doesn't dare to show it. It was a little miserable. Thinking of this, Lu Qingjiu couldn't help blushing, but fortunately Aorun closed his eyes and seemed to be invisible.
"What's wrong, Grandpa?" Lu Qingjiu wanted to change the subject.
Who knew that after he asked this question, Ao Run, who was already in a calm mood, broke out again, and said angrily that Bai Yuehu is really not a good dragon, Lu Qingjiu, the young dragon's horn has not been taken off, he is just a poor, weak and useless dragon. The young dragon who helped, he actually started!
Lu Qingjiu said in horror, "But grandpa, I'm already twenty-seven."
Ao Run said: "Twenty-seven? You are only twenty-seven? When the Dragon Clan was twenty-seven, he was just a white egg, and he actually attacked an egg?"
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Grandpa, calm down, look at how I look like a white egg with my healthy limbs.
Ao Run was obviously brooding over the fact that Bai Yuehu, a pig, shoved his little cabbage. If Lu Qingjiu hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed out and pinched Bai Yuehu again.
Lu Qingjiu could only persuade him with all his strength, saying that he really couldn't use the dragon clan's standards. If he really fell in love according to the dragon clan's lifespan, wouldn't he be considered a puppy love at the age of two hundred, when others were not there? It's still a problem, I can't let Bai Yuehu hold a pile of bones and call him dear.
"And I remember that my grandma was only eighteen when she was in love, she was nine years younger than me." Lu Qingjiu remembered this, "Grandpa... you..."
Ao Run was silent for a moment, and decided to skip this topic, saying that today's food is really delicious.
Lu Qingjiu thought to himself that the topic of grandpa was turned too stiffly.
Lu Qingjiu chatted with Ao Run for a while, but remembered something, turned around and went into the bedroom, took out a pair of earmuffs made of wool from the bedroom, and handed them to Ao Run, saying that they were woven by himself. Wear it on the ear to keep warm. In fact, it's not that he didn't want to give Aorun something else, but the earmuffs could be used before the other things were woven, but they were woven according to the proportion of Bai Yuehu's ears.
"It's going to be Chinese New Year soon, I wish Grandpa a Happy New Year in advance." Lu Qingjiu smiled.
Ao Run carefully took the earmuffs and wanted to try them on his own ears, but found that the earmuffs stood up and could not fit on both sides. Lu Qingjiu explained that these were earmuffs for dragon ears. After listening to it, he simply revealed his erected dragon ears. Lu Qingjiu noticed that the tops of those ears were also furry, and when he moved, his hands were itchy, but considering his status as a junior, he could only hold back abruptly, but he still asked politely, do you need it? Need to help him wear it.
Ao Run nodded in agreement.
Lu Qingjiu was a little surprised. After picking up the earmuffs, he carefully put them on for Aorun. Aorun's ears feel similar to Baiyuehu's, but the fur is slightly thicker, but they are still the same soft and fluffy. Seeing Aorun wearing earmuffs, he couldn't help laughing.
Ao Run tilted his head and asked, "Does it look good?"
Lu Qingjiu smiled and said it looked good.
"Then I'll keep it." Ao Run said warmly, "It's getting late, I'll go first."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Aren't you going to stay for dinner?"
"No." Ao Run said, "I still have things to do."
Lu Qingjiu hesitated.
But just when he hesitated, Ao Run had already stood up and walked out. When Lu Qingjiu arrived at the door, he didn't see Ao Run anymore, he was a little disappointed, but Bai Yuehu, who had been repairing the yard with Yin Xun in the courtyard, walked up to him and said, "Why does he wear it? Earmuffs?"
"Oh, I thought it was going to be New Year's Eve, so I gave him a New Year's gift." Lu Qingjiu asked strangely, "Don't you like earmuffs?"
Bai Yuehu said unhappily: "Who said I don't like it anymore." After he finished speaking, he showed his ears and shook a little, "It's cold."
Looking at Bai Yuehu's jealous appearance, Lu Qingjiu couldn't hold it back, he reached out and grabbed Bai Yuehu's furry ears. It's okay, I'll knit a new pair for you, no, knit a lot of pairs."
