Chapter 2: Little flowers back then

Views:

Seeing these eyes, Lu Qingjiu choked his breath and even thought he was hallucinating. Those eyes seemed to see Lu Qingjiu in the room through the gap, and there was a strong greed inside.

Lu Qingjiu said in surprise, "Am I having a nightmare..."

Before his question was answered, the terrifying eyes above his head were gone. However, before Lu Qingjiu could recover, he saw a slender pink tongue coming in from the house along the small hole.

The tongue was extremely long, with transparent mucus attached to it, and it bounced towards the location where Lu Qingjiu was. Fortunately, Lu Qingjiu reacted quickly and threw himself under the bed, avoiding the tongue's attack. He staggered open the door and ran out of the house. After seeing what was on his roof, he froze in place.

I saw a huge reptile attached to the roof of the old house. The animal's skin was gray-black, its eyeballs were prominent, and its limbs were easily fixed on the slippery bricks - it was clearly a huge gecko!

The gecko also noticed Lu Qingjiu's movement, slowly turned his head, and looked at Lu Qingjiu. Seeing that things were not good, Lu Qingjiu turned around and wanted to run away, but the next moment he heard a burst of air from behind him. Sound, it seems that something is stabbed towards him!

Before Lu Qingjiu could react, he felt a tightness on his waist, and his eyes were turned upside down.

Geckos have always eaten like this. As long as they wrap their tongues around a living thing, they will eat the living thing in their mouths. Lu Qingjiu watched as he was getting closer and closer to the huge gecko. Just as he was about to be sucked into the mouth by the thing, the gecko suddenly froze, and the huge pupils revealed horrific fear.

Lu Qingjiu also stayed in mid-air. He couldn't digest all the bizarre things for a while, but his survival instinct made him make the right choice. Taking advantage of the moment when the gecko was stunned, he took out the keychain in his trousers pocket and slashed down the tongue that was entangled in him.

I don't know if it was because of the pain or other reasons, but the gecko actually put down Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu fell to the ground from mid-air, and saw a thick darkness floating above his head at some point.

There seemed to be something hidden in the darkness, but Lu Qingjiu couldn't see it clearly.

The gecko seemed to be terrified of the darkness, and turned around and jumped off the roof to escape, but the darkness quickly spread over and enveloped the gecko.

Then, Lu Qingjiu heard a sound like chewing meat. The gecko that was covered by the darkness showed only a small piece of its tail outside, and Lu Qingjiu watched the tail twist and struggle constantly, then the movements became smaller and smaller, and finally there was no movement.

The sound of chewing the meat gradually faded away, replaced by the crunching sound of crunching bones. Lu Qingjiu slowly got up from the ground, intending to take advantage of this time to get out of here, but as soon as he took two steps forward, he felt dizzy. , the whole person is soft to the ground. Just before he fainted completely, he seemed to see a big orange eye vaguely...

The next day, Lu Qingjiu was dazedly awakened by a knock on the door. He got up from the bed and staggered to open the door after a while.

"What's the matter, Qingjiu? His face is so ugly!" Yin Xun saw Lu Qingjiu who opened the door, and was startled by his expression, "You went to catch a ghost in the middle of the night last night?!"

When the word "ghost" was mentioned, Lu Qingjiu's face became even more ugly. He said, "I seem to have had a very terrifying dream last night." traces of damage.

"A terrifying dream?" Yin Xun said, "Are you too tired..."

Lu Qingjiu was in a trance: "Yes... It's possible."

"Then are you still going to the town's market today?" Yin Xun asked, "Otherwise, take a day off at home?"

"Go ahead." Lu Qingjiu shook his head, sobering up a little, "I also need to buy some daily necessities."

"Okay, let's just go and have breakfast in town." Yin Xun glanced at his watch, "Uncle Chen and the others are just going to town."

Shuifu Village is quite far from the town. It takes a whole day to walk and more than two hours by car. There are only two small trucks in their village. Usually, the villagers want to go to the town. One of them was the one Yin Xun called Uncle Chen. His family had a lot of fields. This time he went to town to buy some fertilizer.

The two walked to the entrance of the village, greeted Uncle Chen and sat in the cab.

After Lu Qingjiu gave the car money, Yin Xun smiled and handed a cigarette. Uncle Chen took it and lit it, chatting and asking Lu Qingjiu what he wanted to buy.

"I want to raise Piggy." Lu Qingjiu said, "buy some more seeds."

Chen Bo said: "Okay, there are pigs in the town, I will help you pick them out, don't be fooled."

Lu Qingjiu smiled and thanked him.

Then Uncle Chen asked about Lu Qingjiu's current situation. After learning that he was going to stay here for a long time, he warned him about some points that need to be paid attention to. For example, the ground must be ploughed immediately, so that the seeds can be planted easily. Farming should pay attention to the season. , wasting time to miss the spring and have to wait until next season.

Lu Qingjiu listened, nodding his head every now and then. This distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Shuifu Village is small, and everyone can help each other with anything.

The pickup truck drove across the mountain road and arrived at the town's market. Different from the silence at night, the town in the daytime is very lively. There are small vendors selling all kinds of things on both sides of the road. There are useful food, as well as many seeds and livestock.

Uncle Chen said that he was going to stock up first, and asked Yin Xun and Lu Qingjiu to buy what they were going to buy first, and then the three of them would gather at the place where the piglets were sold.

Lu Qingjiu nodded and said yes, and entered the market with Yin Xun.

"What do you want to eat?" Yin Xun said, "That xiaolongbao is delicious."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Then try it?"

Yin Xun said, "Hey, let's go."

Lu Qingjiu followed Yin Xun to a small shop next to the market, where he ordered two steaming steamed dumplings, two bowls of soy milk and two fried dough sticks.

Lu Qingjiu picked up the xiaolongbao, and after biting halfway through it, he said, "It's delicious." This xiaolongbao is stuffed with soy sauce. The skin is thin and the stuffing is big. When you bite into it, it's full of gravy. Ding lotus root, dilute the greasy feeling of the meat, the taste is very good.

"It's delicious!" Yin Xun said, "Every time I come to his house, I can eat a few cages. Can you try this dipping sauce?"

Hearing this, Lu Qingjiu dipped it in the dipping sauce again. The dipping sauce contained spicy peppers, vinegar, and chopped green onion. After dipping it, it tasted completely different.

Lu Qingjiu narrowed his eyes and smiled contentedly, "How much can you eat alone?"

"Me?" Yin Xun said, "Three or four cages is fine... I just don't eat lunch if I eat too much."

"Oh." Lu Qingjiu took another, and was about to put it in his mouth, but he felt a gaze on his back, he turned his head in confusion, and saw a man in white standing behind him. He was staring at him intently.

The man's appearance, Lu Qingjiu, was all too familiar to him. It was the man he met on the mountain road that day when he was taking a taxi.

"You... Hello." Being stared at by such eyes, Lu Qingjiu silently put down the chopsticks in his hand, "You..." He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

Who knew that just when he hesitated, the man had already walked to his side.

Yin Xun whispered, "Who is this?" This man was handsome, with slightly drooping eyes, a lazy look, thin lips pursed into an arc, and all his attention seemed to be on Lu Qingjiu... No It wasn't on Lu Qingjiu. After Yin Xun repeatedly confirmed it, he realized that the man seemed to be staring at the xiaolongbao in front of Lu Qingjiu.

Lu Qingjiu: "..." He also found the man's target, so after hesitating for a while, he asked politely, "Do you want to eat?"

The man glanced at Lu Qingjiu and nodded decisively.

Lu Qingjiu hurriedly ordered two more Xiaolongbao. The man didn't use chopsticks. He reached out and picked one up and put it in his mouth. Lu Qingjiu wanted to remind him that the Xiaolongbao was a little hot, but looking at his appearance, it seemed completely Unaffected, one by one, the movements did not stop for a moment.

Lu Qingjiu asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"

The man paused and nodded.

Lu Qingjiu: "Do you still want it?"

The man nodded again.

Lu Qingjiu called for two more cages. Although he didn't know who the man was, he vaguely felt that the person in front of him saved his life that night.

One cage, two cages, three cages... The steamer in front of him was stacked higher and higher, and Yin Xun's eyes widened.

"Fuck, he's already eaten twenty cages." Yin Xun said in horror.

Lu Qingjiu forced his composure: "It's fine, he shouldn't be broken."

Yin Xun: "Is this a problem of breaking down..."

Lu Qingjiu: "What's the problem?"

Yin Xun: "Have you brought enough money with you..."

Lu Qingjiu: "Have you brought enough... right?"

Here, the xiaolongbao is eight and twelve yuan per cage. The man in white ate almost twenty. Lu Qingjiu suspected that he would have no problem with another twenty, so he could only touch his wallet to comfort himself for more than four hundred yuan. It's still worth buying a life.

The man ate too much, and even the people around cast a surprised look here. Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun had already looked at the high steamer in front of them and were speechless. In the end, Lu Qingjiu asked the boss to add five more baskets. When the time came, the man waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it.

"Are you full?" Lu Qingjiu said, "Don't worry, I can still afford this meal. I'll leave when I'm full."

"Have you eaten?" Hearing the words, the man suddenly turned his head and stared at Lu Qingjiu seriously, "I haven't had enough for a long time."

Lu Qingjiu: "…"

The man said, "Can you fill me up?"

"Haha, let me try harder?" For some reason, being stared at by the man's black eyes, there was actually a layer of white sweat on Lu Qingjiu's back. He didn't dare to shirk it directly, so he could only express it more euphemistically. Think about yourself.

"Oh." The man said, "That's good."

Lu Qingjiu breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could completely relax, the man said, "My name is Bai Yuehu, and I will come to you." He stretched out his hand and threw a small cloth bag on the table. , "This is the deposit."

Lu Qingjiu was stunned, but in the moment he was stunned, the man stood up and disappeared into the crowd.

"What is this?" Yin Xun curiously touched the pocket on the table, "What is this, isn't it money?"

Lu Qingjiu opened his pocket, his expression froze when he saw what was inside, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Yin Xun saw Lu Qingjiu's expression was very strange. He leaned his head and leaned over to see the contents in the black cloth bag. He was stunned: "What is this? Insect?"

Lu Qingjiu shook his head, but he didn't explain what was in the cloth bag, but just closed the bag. Maybe other people can't recognize this thing, but Lu Qingjiu is very clear - it is a gecko's tail, still beating slightly, it seems that it has just been cut from the gecko. What he encountered last night was no dream.

Yin Xun muttered softly beside him, "That man was joking when he said he was coming to see you?"

Lu Qingjiu glanced at Yin Xun, "Yes..."

After saying this, the two looked at each other, but they both saw some kind of worry in each other's eyes, and both of them had a bad premonition...

After the man left, Lu Qingjiu calmly settled the bill with his wallet, then followed Yin Xun to decide to pick some seeds to plant at home.

Lu Qingjiu's family has a total of eight acres of land, all of which are leased to others. The lease term for two acres is due this year, so Lu Qingjiu plans to grow some vegetables for his own consumption.

"Then what do you plant?" Yin Xun asked.

"Grow anything." Lu Qingjiu didn't know much about farming, so he thought he would use two acres of land to practice his hands this year, "I usually eat a lot of corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc."

"Okay." Yin Xun asked while picking seeds for Lu Qingjiu, "You don't know anything at first, so you can practice first, anyway, two acres of land is not much."

Lu Qingjiu nodded, and the two of them chose some seeds from various kinds, and asked the boss to pack them up and put them in a backpack.

After choosing the seeds, Lu Qingjiu went to buy some household necessities, such as the pots in the kitchen, seasonings, etc. Yin Xun asked him to buy some screens to cover the windows. The mosquitoes at night were poisonous.

Lu Qingjiu said that he was not bitten by mosquitoes at all.

Yin Xun still didn't believe it. It could be said to be a coincidence before, but it's been a few days since Lu Qingjiu was fine. Who knew that after searching Lu Qingjiu's arm, he couldn't find a mosquito bite, so he could only express hatred that these mosquitoes are really wild boars that don't eat fine chaff, and Lu Qingjiu, who has smooth skin, doesn't bite, and wants to bite him …

Standing beside Lu Qingjiu, he remembered the huge gecko on the roof of his house. Well, it seems that the staple food of geckos is mosquitoes.

After choosing what to choose, it was almost time to find Uncle Chen.

Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun carried their things to the place next to the market where pigs were sold. This place was a small livestock trading market. As soon as Lu Qingjiu entered, he saw a family selling calves.

Yin Xun said, "This way, how many are you going to buy?"

"Both ends." Lu Qingjiu said, "One end is too lonely."

Yin Xun paused for a moment when he heard the words, looked at Lu Qingjiu, and said seriously, "I have something to remind you, don't give it a name when you buy a pig back home."

"I know that." Lu Qingjiu said, "You have feelings after taking a name. Didn't you name your pig Xiaohua when you were young?"

"Yeah." Yin Xun fell into memory and sighed, "I liked Xiao Hua at that time, and I gave it the tenderest hogweed every day."

Lu Qingjiu: "Yes, in the end Xiaohua was killed by your father and you cried all afternoon. By the way, how did they coax you?"

Yin Xun: "Make me a bowl of braised pork."

Lu Qingjiu: "…"

Yin Xun: "It's really fragrant."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." That's fine too.

The two went to the place to buy piglets and saw that Uncle Chen was already chatting with the owner of the piglets. When Uncle Chen saw Lu Qingjiu and the others coming, he waved and called, "Come here! I've picked it for you. Two!"

Lu Qingjiu walked over and saw that Uncle Chen had already tied up two pink and tender little piglets. The little piglets were quite clean shortly after they were born. They were lying on the ground and humming. They looked very cute.

Yin Xun looked at Piglet and said, "It's so tender..."

Lu Qingjiu: "...do you remember Xiaohua?"

Yin Xun: "Don't bring up the sad past."

Lu Qingjiu thought to himself, that's not what you said when you were eating braised pork.

"The quality of this batch of piglets is good." Uncle Chen said, "The number of pigs raised at home is small, so you don't need to pay much attention to it. Do you eat it yourself or sell it for meat?"

"Eat it yourself." Lu Qingjiu said.

"Oh, that's fine." Uncle Chen nodded.

Now the specifications for raising pigs are strict, and if the number exceeds a certain number, a breeding license is required. However, in a remote place like Shuifu Village, there are no such strict regulations, especially for Lu Qingjiu, which is raised by his own family to eat. .

He was very satisfied with the pigs that Uncle Chen picked. When Lu Qingjiu took out his wallet and was about to pay and leave, he heard a shrill pig screaming next to him. .

"What is that?" Uncle Chen asked in confusion, "Boss, did you make a wild boar?"

The pig seller shook his head and said, "Where did I do it? I accidentally picked it up on the side of the road two days ago. It seems that he was knocked out by a car. He didn't eat anything after feeding it. I thought about pulling it and selling it."

"Wild boar?" Lu Qingjiu was interested, and said, "Can you take a look?" He hasn't seen a real wild boar yet.

The boss waved his hand for Lu Qingjiu to take care of himself.

A few people walked a few steps toward the place where the pig was screaming, and saw two small black meat balls huddled in the corner of the fence, the slightly larger meat ball was making a miserable cry at this time, Lu Qingjiu When he met his gaze, he found that the small eyes were filled with tears of sadness.

"Is it crying?" Lu Qingjiu didn't expect pigs to be so spiritual.

"Really." Yin Xun said, "But is this thing a wild boar? Why does it have tusks at such a young age?" Normally, tusks develop slowly, and it is impossible to have them at birth.

"Yeah, this pig looks a little weird, maybe it's a mutation." The boss didn't take it seriously, "And it's a male and a female, and the female also has fangs."

The two meat dumplings were originally huddled in the corner, but at this time they seemed to understand their conversation, and they both started to look towards this side. , he actually heard a little taste of flattery.

"Boss, what are you going to do with these two pigs?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

The boss said: "They refuse to eat, and if they can't sell it, they will kill and eat meat."

Lu Qingjiu said, "How much meat can you have so small."

The boss said, "Why, do you want to buy it?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "Looking at the poor two, I asked if I could add some money. You can sell these two to me."

The boss hesitated.

Uncle Chen said next to him, "Old Xu, this pig doesn't have much meat at all. It looks sick and doesn't worry about eating it. It's better to sell it cheaply and see if it can support it."

After being persuaded by the old customer, the boss relaxed and agreed to sell the two black piglets to Lu Qingjiu at a cheaper price. Lu Qingjiu paid the money, took the black piglet out of the pen, and put it into Uncle Chen's truck along with the other two piglets.

The two black meat dumplings seemed to dislike the other two piglets very much, and were not willing to approach their own kind at all. Lu Qingjiu sat beside him and watched the small movements of the two, and helplessly reached out and gently grabbed the ear of the smaller one, and said, "Why do you despise both of them?"

The little one grunted twice, and actually shed tears, with a very aggrieved expression.

Seeing this, the older one snorted fiercely at Lu Qingjiu, but at this time it was just as fierce as its small body, Lu Qingjiu stretched out his hand and flicked his forehead, saying, "You still murder me? But I The two of you rescued from there, I am your savior, so you treat your savior like this?"

Upon seeing this, Yin Xun laughed loudly: "Jiu'er, what reason do you and the pig say, can they still understand?"

As a result, before he finished speaking, he saw the big little black piglet bow its front feet and bow to Lu Qingjiu.

Yin Xun's smile froze: "Fuck, this pig has become a sperm??"

Lu Qingjiu: "...It seems so."

Yin Xun: "Then... this pig essence..."

Lu Qingjiu: "?"

Yin Xun: "Is it delicious?"

Lu Qingjiu: "..." To be honest, Xiaohua really didn't deserve to die back then.
