"Sorry, I really didn't expect this to happen." Although Wu Xiao was shocked by the facts in front of him, he could only accept this incredible answer. Although he could see ghosts when he was young, but since he grew up After he was young, he almost never came into contact with this aspect. He thought that he had lost such ability, but he didn't expect that he was actually in contact with ghosts, but he didn't realize it...
Wu Xiao looked at Lu Qingjiu and said seriously, "I am willing to provide generous compensation for dismissing you. If you are willing, I would like to invite you back to the company again..." His tone and eyes were very sincere, one could see that He sincerely apologized to Lu Qingjiu.
Lu Qingjiu refused. He refused very calmly: "You don't need to feel guilty. In fact, even if it didn't happen, I would resign myself."
"Why?" Wu Xiao asked suspiciously, "You... not to comfort me, right?"
"Of course not." Lu Qingjiu smiled, "It's not that the child is being bullied and has to find the parents. If I really don't want to leave, I will definitely ask you for an explanation about the dismissal." It can be solved, of course, it does not have to continue to this day.
When Wu Xiao thought about it, this was indeed the case. At that time, after he informed Lu Qingjiu that he would either dismiss him or be fired, Lu Qingjiu calmly accepted the facts without even arguing. At that time, Wu Xiao thought that he was guilty, but now that he thinks about it, he may have other hidden feelings. Naturally, the reason for dismissing Lu Qingjiu was not because of Lu Qingjiu's gossip, but because Wu Xiao heard Lu Qingjiu describe a project plan of their company in great detail in the toilet, and Wu Xiao was hearing these contents. After that, he was determined to expel Lu Qingjiu.
Seeing the complicated expression on Wu Xiao's face, Lu Qingjiu could naturally guess what his boss was thinking, he patted Wu Xiao's shoulder and said with a smile, "You really don't need to feel too guilty, it's a matter of my resignation. I chose it myself."
"Then why do you want to resign?" Wu Xiao was still unwilling to let it go.
"Something happened at my house." Lu Qingjiu's answer to this was very perfunctory, obviously not intending to explain the reason to Wu Xiao in detail.
Wu Xiao wanted to ask again, but the old tree who was ignored in the toilet shouted: "Ji'er, Jiu'er, you're finally back, I miss you so much, no one has spoken to me since you left, I'm fine. Boring." He still used Lu Qingjiu's voice, but the tone was very different, more like a naive young man.
It is said that the old tree has lived here for almost two hundred years, and its root system has spread to many places, but although two hundred years is enough for humans, it is just a snap for them. The old tree calls himself a child. Not without reason.
However, Lu Qingjiu was accustomed to calling him Laoshu.
"Well, I'm leaving, and I may rarely come back in the future." Lu Qingjiu said to the old tree, "You have to take care of yourself."
The old tree was silent for a moment: "Where have you been?"
"I'm going back to my hometown." Lu Qingjiu said, "Wait, I'll visit you in a while."
The old tree said, "Okay, you must come."
Wu Xiao listened to the conversation between one person and one tree, and his eyes showed envy. He said, "Is he talking every day?"
"Yeah." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'm talking every day."
There are very few clansmen in Laoshu, and there are fewer spirits who can communicate with him. Ever since he found out that Lu Qingjiu can hear himself, Laoshu has started to mutter in the toilet every day. Lu Qingjiu goes to the toilet, when no one is there. Occasionally chat with him.
"I've heard it three or four times in half a year." Wu Xiao said, "One of them was still talking about me..."
Lu Qingjiu said, "What did you say?"
Wu Xiao coughed dryly and changed the subject: "Stop talking about this, is there a way for me to hear him more often?"
Lu Qingjiu thought for a while, but he didn't answer. He really had nothing to do, but when he went back and asked Bai Yuehu, maybe there was something he could do, in fact, Wu Xiao had a good personality and was quite righteous, except for his temper that he almost liked to target himself. Black spot, the old tree is really lonely after he left, it is also good to leave someone to accompany the old tree to talk.
"Mr. Wu, that's it for today." Lu Qingjiu said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Wu Xiao said, "Okay, if you can help me with something, just tell me." Although Lu Qingjiu said he didn't care about being fired, Wu Xiao still felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
Lu Qingjiu nodded, turned and left.
After leaving the company, he didn't drive home in a hurry, but went to the park near the company, where Laoshu is located. He still wanted to chat with Laoshu about something, but Wu Xiao was present, so he couldn't speak.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the streets began to become empty, and the wind became cooler, slapping people's faces, with an inexplicable comfort. Lu Qingjiu walked into the park, and before entering, he saw a lush and lush tree. Because it is midsummer, the leaves on the canopy cover the sky and almost cover most of the square. Lu Qingjiu smiled, walked to the big tree, sat on the flower bed, stretched out his hand and gently touched the rough trunk: "I'm back."
The trunk of the old tree trembled as if it had been scratched, and large swathes of leaves fell from the sky like a heavy rain.
The old tree said, "Is it going well in the old house?"
"Smooth." Lu Qingjiu, "The old house is pretty good, but I don't have a clue about what I want to know."
The old tree said: "That may just be a guess."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Even if it's a guess, I have to try it." He leaned against the tree trunk and whispered, "I'm the only one left now anyway."
From the accidental death of his parents to the death of his grandmother due to illness, Lu Qingjiu's connection with the whole world has become weaker and weaker. He was busy working part-time when he was in college, and after entering the society, he had to focus all his energy on work. Although his work partner has a good relationship with him, some things are difficult to say. At this time, Lu Qingjiu met the old tree, a long-winded tree spirit who likes to talk but can't find someone to talk to.
One person and one tree gradually got to know each other. Later, if there was something wrong with Lu Qingjiu, he habitually told Laoshu. Laoshu also told him a lot of things, what he wanted to know, and what he didn't want to know.
Trees are different from humans. They are born with inherited memories and know many private things and methods.
Half a year ago, the old tree awakened a new ability, which can be used for divination according to a person's birth date. At that time, Lao Shu originally wanted to predict Lu Qingjiu, but he was rejected by Lu Qingjiu in the end. He didn't want to know his future through hexagrams. However, he gave Laoshu the birth date of his parents and asked him to make a divination.
After the hexagram came out, Lao Shu was a little strange after reading it. He said, "It's strange. Your parents are very good. The fate of the two is a match made in heaven... But why did it end like this?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "Shouldn't it be like this?"
"... It's really strange to have a disaster." The old tree said, "Oh, it may be that I'm not accurate, don't take it seriously..."
After listening to Lu Qingjiu, he didn't say anything, but he soon resigned from the company and planned to go back to his hometown.
The old tree knew that Lu Qingjiu took what he said to heart, but he didn't know how to persuade Lu Qingjiu. Seeing that Lu Qingjiu had made up his mind, he could only wish Lu Qingjiu a smooth journey.
But now it seems that it is not a bad thing for Lu Qingjiu to return to the old house. At least Old Shu feels that his vitality is a lot more vigorous, which is much better than when he went to work in the unit.
"I met a lot of people in the old house." Lu Qingjiu smiled and said to the old tree, "I also met a very beautiful vixen."
The old tree said, "Fox spirit? Really? I haven't seen a fox spirit yet."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Of course it's true." He told Laoshu a lot of interesting things about the old house, and Laoshu listened with interest and said enviously, "I'm so envious that you can go everywhere, I want to see other places too. Look."
"Can you change shape in the future?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"I don't know." The old tree said, "But even if you change shape, it will be a thousand years later..." He lowered his tone. "At that time, I didn't know what the world was like."
Lu Qingjiu touched his rough skin: "It's okay, time will pass quickly."
The two talked about a lot of things, and Lao Shu also told Lu Qingjiu the interesting gossip that happened in the company after he left. For example, A and B talked about an office romance and dared not make it public, but they found out that they both cheated and had other lovers in private. , In the end, I had a torment in the company and all resigned. Another example is Wu Xiao's recent hemorrhoids that have gotten better, but because he had a drink last week, he relapsed, and he almost didn't go to the hospital because of acute blood loss...
Seeing that the old tree was talking endlessly, Lu Qingjiu could only quickly stop it. With the long-windedness of the old tree, he could talk about these trivial things about Chen Zhi and rotten millet for a whole night.
"I'll go back tomorrow morning." Lu Qingjiu still remembered the two people at home who couldn't cook, "I'll go back and ask if there is a way for Wu Xiao to hear you."
The old tree said, "Are you going?" He shook the leaves.
Lu Qingjiu said, "Let's go."
"Are you coming back?" the old tree asked again.
Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "Of course I will come back, at least once a year to see you." His parents' graves are still in this city, so he naturally has to come back.
"Okay." A leaf slowly fell on top of Lu Qingjiu's head, and the old tree's voice was gentle, "I'll wait for you to come back."
Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "Yeah."
After chatting with the old tree for so long, Lu Qingjiu was in a good mood, and drove the minivan back to Zhu Miaomiao's house. During the period, Zhu Miaomiao sent him a lot of text messages to ask about the situation. He was afraid that Lu Qingjiu and Wu Xiao would fight. After all, from the perspective of body size, Lu Qingjiu might not be able to take advantage of the actual fight.
Afraid of her worry, Lu Qingjiu called her back, saying that he and Wu Xiao had already made it clear, and he had no intention of fighting.
But Zhu Miaomiao was still worried, and waited for Lu Qingjiu to return with the lights on at home.
When Lu Qingjiu got home, he saw Zhu Miaomiao paralyzed on the sofa, and when he heard the sound of him entering the door, he said in a daze, "Sake, are you back?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "Why don't you go to bed?"
Zhu Miaomiao said, "I'm afraid you will be beaten."
Lu Qingjiu laughed: "I already said he won't beat me up..."
Zhu Miaomiao said, "Why not? You don't know that he hates you. Brother Yun and I even doubted that if you were walking alone on the road, he would sneak a sack around you."
Lu Qingjiu couldn't help laughing, and he said, "It's alright, the misunderstanding between me and him has been resolved." When Wu Xiao thought that he was spreading the news about his discomfort in the chrysanthemum, he naturally hated him and tickled his teeth.
Seeing that Lu Qingjiu was all right, Zhu Miaomiao didn't bother about this topic anymore, she said, "Are you going back tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'll go back tomorrow."
"Don't play for two more days?" Zhu Miaomiao said, "Mr. Zhang only found out about your return today, and said he wanted to treat you to a meal."
Lu Qingjiu said, "No, I have something to do at home, so I can't live without people for too long."
"Okay." Zhu Miaomiao said, "I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't send you."
Lu Qingjiu nodded.
After sweeping the tomb and seeing the old man, it is time to go home. Lu Qingjiu hadn't contacted Yin Xun for the past two days, and he didn't know what was going on at home. Early the next morning, he drove the pickup truck with a trunk of specialty products on the road again.
It was still a journey of more than ten hours. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Lu Qingjiu, who started at six in the morning, arrived home. The pickup truck stopped in front of the house. Lu Qingjiu got out of the car with a large bag and a small bag. The two lying down were startled.
Bai Yuehu was still lying on his rocking chair, but Yin Xun found a mat and lay beside Bai Yuehu. Lu Qingjiu couldn't see clearly in the night, and almost thought it was a corpse. The corpse heard the door open. The voice jumped up and rushed all the way to Lu Qingjiu, shouting: "Sake, you are back! If you don't come back, I will die here!!"
Lu Qingjiu said, "What's wrong?"
Yin Xun cried and said, "Bai Yuehu is not a human being. He quietly ate everything the night you left."
Lu Qingjiu: "...Isn't there still instant noodles?"
Yin Xun said, "I also ate the instant noodles together!!!"
Lu Qingjiu: "…"
Listening to Yin Xun's complaint to Diao Zhuang, Bai Yuehu said coldly from the side, "Didn't I leave you here?"
Yin Xun burst into tears of sadness.
Lu Qingjiu got a headache from the two of them and said, "Okay, okay, I brought you a lot of food. You can put a pad on your stomach first, and I'll go to the kitchen and give you two bowls of noodles."
Yin Xun cheered happily.
As soon as Lu Qingjiu put the things away, he went into the kitchen wearing an apron. After entering the kitchen, he was shocked by the tragic situation in the kitchen. I saw that everything he made in the kitchen was eaten up, even a bottle of hot sauce. The refrigerator was empty, not even a hair.
The little fox that was sleeping was also woken up, Jiji leaned to Lu Qingjiu's feet and rubbed his soft head against Lu Qingjiu's ankle, Lu Qingjiu bent down and touched the top of its head: "Good, I'll cook it for you later. Eat some minced meat."
Lu Qingjiu simply placed two bowls of egg noodles and handed them to Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu. The two of them ate it straight away, not even the soup left.
After Yin Xun finished eating, he dragged his mat to go home contentedly, and Bai Yuehu also got up from the chair. According to Yin Xun, after he finished eating Lu Qingjiu's food, he was stuck on this rocking chair and couldn't tear it off—of course, Yin Xun didn't dare to tear it off.
"Are you full?" Lu Qingjiu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Yeah." Bai Yuehu replied, "It's late, go to sleep."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Okay."
Bai Yuehu said, "It's hard work."
Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "There's no such thing as hard work."
The eyes of the two of them converged, and they understood each other's expressions. Lu Qingjiu rolled his eyes and said, "Good night."
Bai Yuehu said softly, "Good night."
After a good night's sleep, it was the next day. The chirping little fox replaced the alarm clock and woke Lu Qingjiu up from the bed. Knowing that they hadn't eaten in a few days, Lu Qingjiu got up early and cooked sauerkraut noodles, intending to make up for the two of them.
The noodles are kneaded by themselves, cut into blocks, and placed in the soup with sauerkraut as the base. The sauerkraut soup also has fresh and smooth meat made by myself. The meat is covered with a layer of sweet potato powder, so that the cooked meat is smooth and smooth. Tender and delicious with appetizing sauerkraut. Because the noodle is kneaded by itself, it is also very muscular, especially in such a hot summer, eating a bowl is simply more comfortable.
After making the noodle pieces, Lu Qingjiu made minced meat for the little fox again. The three of them and the fox sat at home and started to eat breakfast. Bai Yuehu finished eating first, and went to the field after eating. The harder it is to get the crops, the crops will be sunburnt if one does not pay attention.
Lu Qingjiu called and asked Chao Qianyu to come over and pull away the extra grapes. The grapes were all ripe, and they had to fall to the ground after a while. The three of them couldn't finish it. waste.
Knowing that they had been hungry for a few days, Lu Qingjiu made a big meal full of meat for lunch, including stir-fried pork, braised beef, cold-boiled chicken, and boiled pork slices.
Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu were very satisfied. Yin Xun said that the blood lost due to hunger in the past few days was finally made up.
Bai Yuehu didn't say anything, but from his expression he could see that he was satisfied.
Taking advantage of the nap time, Lu Qingjiu told Bai Yuehu about the old tree, and asked him if there was any way for Wu Xiao to hear the old tree.
After listening, Bai Yuehu thought for a while, and said, "Yes, there are."
"Really?" Lu Qingjiu said in surprise.
"Yeah." Bai Yuehu said, "Just let that tree feed that person a little of its essence."
Lu Qingjiu: "...What?" He thought he heard it wrong.
"Dream for short." Seeing Lu Qingjiu's dazed expression, Bai Yuehu explained it in detail again patiently, "It's a white liquid hidden in the core of the tree, after eating this liquid, Wu Xiao can hear it. The tree clan has spoken."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." After listening to Bai Yuehu's explanation, Lu Qingjiu felt guilty for his yellow violent thoughts, "But the old tree can't move, so what should I do?"
Bai Yuehu said: "You ask Wu Xiao to go to the old tree and talk about it, and then just take a bite of the tree trunk."
Although Wu Xiao couldn't hear Lao Shu, Lao Shu could hear Wu Xiao. If Lao Shu wanted Wu Xiao to hear him, he would secrete his essence, and Wu Xiao was recognized by the tree clan. People, from now on, they can communicate with the tree clan.
Lu Qingjiu didn't expect this method to be quite simple, but I don't know why Lao Shu didn't mention it himself, is it embarrassing? He didn't think much about it, and after getting the answer, he called Wu Xiao to tell Wu Xiao the method.
After hearing this, Wu Xiao decided to go to the park to look for the old tree after get off work. Hearing his tone, he was quite geared up.
Lu Qingjiu thought that this was the end of the matter, but at noon the next day, he received a call from Wu Xiao, Wu Xiao's voice was a little hoarse, his tone was like weeping blood, he shouted on the other end of the phone. : "Lu Qingjiu, you are going too far!"
Lu Qingjiu said inexplicably, "Huh?"
Wu Xiao said: "You... I fired you, but I apologize and I am willing to compensate you. Are you using me like this?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "What did I do to you?" He looked at a loss, and then he thought of the way he asked Wu Xiao to try yesterday, "What happened to you? It's not serious, right?"
Probably because his voice was too innocent, Wu Xiao's tone also contained a hint of suspicion: "You really don't know? Then where did you come from?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "...The goddess in my village told me." After he finished talking about the goddess, he glanced at Bai Yuehu, who was clinging to the rocking chair happily alone.
"The goddess??" Wu Xiao said, "The goddess didn't say anything else?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "Others? What other? The goddess just said that as long as you do this, you can hear the tree clan speak, and the others are not mentioned. What's the matter?" He felt as if something extraordinary happened there. It's a big deal, otherwise Wu Xiao wouldn't speak to him in this tone.
After listening to Lu Qingjiu's explanation, Wu Xiao fell into silence.
After Lu Qingjiu fed several times, he heard a faint sigh from the other end, and then Wu Xiao forcefully squeezed two words between his teeth: "It's okay."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." President Wu, it doesn't look like it's okay.
Wu Xiao hesitated: "I... Forget it."
Lu Qingjiu: "...Then, can you hear the tree talking now?"
After he asked this, he heard teeth grinding from the other end of the phone, and he said, "Yes, I can hear it."
Lu Qingjiu: "Well..." Since you can hear it, why are you so angry? Could it be that some unpredictable accident happened during the period? Lu Qingjiu really wanted to ask this question, but in the end he wisely held it back, because Wu Xiao was in a very bad mood at this time, and after cursing a few words in a low voice, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Lu Qingjiu glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, thought for a while, and walked towards Bai Yuehu who was still sleeping.
"Yuehu." Lu Qingjiu called him.
Bai Yuehu opened his eyes to look at Lu Qingjiu.
"The way you said that people can hear the tree clan's speech, there are no sequelae, right?" Lu Qingjiu blinked and asked the question that should have been asked yesterday.
Bai Yuehu said slowly, "Sequelae?"
Lu Qingjiu nodded.
"Forget it." Bai Yuehu said lightly, "If the tree clan agrees, the two will become partners."
Lu Qingjiu: "…"
Seeing Lu Qingjiu's jaw dropping, Bai Yuehu raised his eyebrows and said, "What?"
Lu Qingjiu finally understood the reason for the pain in Wu Xiao's tone, he was dumbfounded: "Why didn't you tell me at that time..."
Bai Yuehu said very calmly: "Because this is not a sequelae."
Also, marriage, how can it be considered a sequelae - Lu Qingjiu couldn't help applauding the logic of his vixen, should he call Wu Xiao again, congratulations to President Wu for his 100-year-old bride? ?
The author has something to say: Bai Yuehu: How do you know what he likes to mention is the 100-year-old bride and not the groom...
Lu Qingjiu: ... President Wu, I'm sorry for you.
Wu Xiao cried bitterly: I fucking have hemorrhoids
