In Lu Qingjiu's imagination, Bai Yuehu should be an immortal fox spirit, disdain to eat worldly things, and disdain to participate in worldly disputes.
Later, after living with Bai Yuehu for a while, Lu Qingjiu realized that Bai Yuehu didn't want to participate in things mostly because of laziness, and now, there is another reason... poor.
Because he is too lazy to earn coins for human use, Bai Yuehu has no long things, and because he has no long things, he can't even eat Xiao Long Bao. I can only eat something big gecko, stingray, and live a miserable life of not being able to eat hot food every day.
This... Is this supposed to say that Bai Yuehu is miserable? After Lu Qingjiu figured it out, his mood suddenly became complicated. Wen ray, a delicacy that only existed in mythology and was never eaten by ordinary people in a lifetime, became an object of disgust for Bai Yuehu. That's right, no matter what delicious food is eaten for hundreds or thousands of years, I'm afraid it will feel dull.
Looking at Bai Yuehu, who had cut his hair short and started rocking again while sitting on the rocking chair, Lu Qingjiu remembered a saying that Zhu Miaomiao often joked about - I could have lived a very happy life, but lack of money hurt me.
After thinking about it, Lu Qingjiu couldn't help laughing lowly. Bai Yuehu heard the laughter and turned to look at Lu Qingjiu: "What are you laughing at?"
Lu Qingjiu concealed his smile: "It's okay, I just wanted to ask you what you have for dinner?"
Bai Yuehu said: "It's all right."
Thinking of their encounter, Lu Qingjiu said, "Want to eat xiaolongbao? If you want, I'll go to town and buy it for you."
Bai Yuehu has always been very casual when it comes to delicious food, so he said, "It's fine."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Okay, I'll cook a pot of porridge first. You can help me watch the fire. Yin Xun, you can go with me."
Yin Xun, who has been quiet since his return, nodded in agreement.
The two went out to find the pickup truck, but Yin Xun got in the car but was a little uneasy, Lu Qingjiu said, "What's wrong with you?"
Yin Xun pointed to the seat under his buttocks and said, "This is a slug, what part of it are we sitting on?"
Lu Qingjiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only comfort Yin Xun with a few words, saying that slugs have no limbs, so every part is similar. However, Lu Qingjiu also noticed that after seeing Bai Yuehu on the mountain, Yin Xun's state was a little off. When Lu Qingjiu asked him what was wrong, he refused to say anything, just casually said a few words, Lu Qingjiu could only helplessly. go with him.
Yin Xun is a nervous person, so he will be fine in two days.
The steamed buns in the town are open from the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening. They don't sell anything else, they only sell xiaolongbao. Because the taste is very good, there are even people who come here from the city to eat his home. 's buns.
However, Lu Qingjiu had only eaten it once, and it was the one he invited Bai Yuehu to eat.
"Why did you suddenly think of coming over to buy him buns?" Yin Xun twisted and twisted in the pickup truck. .
"Isn't it because you are uncomfortable at home?" Lu Qingjiu held the steering wheel and looked ahead, "If I ask you anything, you won't say anything."
Yin Xun scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I can't describe the feeling, it seems... it's my body's most instinctive reaction." When he saw Bai Yuehu wearing a black robe, There was an inexplicable fear deep in his heart. This kind of fear came so suddenly that he couldn't find the source himself, let alone how to explain it to Lu Qingjiu.
Lu Qingjiu didn't force it, shrugged, and simply brought this topic that made Yin Xun uncomfortable.
The two drove to the town and went straight to the steamed bun shop. The boss heard Lu Qingjiu saying that he wanted two hundred steamed buns. He smiled and rolled his eyes, and asked Lu Qingjiu to come and get it in an hour.
After Lu Qingjiu paid the money, he and Yin Xun went to a random teahouse nearby, ordered two bowls of tea, and sat to rest and chat.
"Hey, actually, you are the richest person in this family." Yin Xun and Lu Qingjiu said, "To be honest, I'm about the same as Bai Yuehu, and I'm terribly poor..."
Lu Qingjiu said, "You are also poor?? Are you not a mountain god??"
Yin Xun said, "Don't say it, I couldn't even eat hot rice before you came."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." How on earth did you two live
The two were talking, but someone on the side of the road walked straight towards them, and after walking across from them, sat down opposite Lu Qingjiu unceremoniously.
This person looks very young, probably only in his twenties, but he looks very handsome, but the cold and arrogant temperament on his body makes people feel uncomfortable.
Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun stopped talking when they saw this person, looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes, obviously they didn't know this person.
"What's your name?" The young man looked at Yin Xun, his tone was a little stiff, and his eyes were also very unkind.
Yin Xun was taken aback by the aggressive questioning, "Who are you? I don't know you, do I?"
"Police." The young man took out his certificate from his arms and shook it in front of the two of them.
The certificate did show that the young man was a policeman named Pang Ziqi, but he ran in front of them so inexplicably with such a bad attitude that it was difficult for Lu Qingjiu to show kindness to him, and his tone became cold: "Officer Pang, we Didn't you do anything? I don't know what your attitude means, Officer Pang?"
Pang Ziqi glanced at Lu Qingjiu and ignored his words. She reached out and tapped on the table in front of Yin Xun, "Let me ask you, what's your name?"
"Me?" Inexplicably being targeted by the police, Yin Xun was also a little unhappy. He said, "My name is Yin Xun, what's the matter with you?"
"Where do you live?" Pang Ziqi asked again.
Yin Xun was annoyed by his rude questioning, he slapped the table, "What do you mean by your tone? How about interrogating the prisoner?"
Pang Ziqi laughed after being yelled at by Yin Xun. He said, "Since you haven't done anything, why are you afraid to tell me where you live?"
Yin Xun: "Even a police interrogator has to give a reason, right? Isn't it very polite to ask you so suddenly?"
Pang Ziqi said, "I'm only polite to people."
His words sounded like cursing at first, but after thinking about it, it seemed to have other meanings, Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun both froze for a moment, then Yin Xun glared and said angrily, "Officer Pang, you How did you talk? Call me not a human being?"
Pang Ziqi was about to speak, but a pair of hands pressed onto his shoulders behind him, and then a helpless voice rang out, it was Lu Qingjiu's old acquaintance, Hu Shu, the police officer: "I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Wearing casual clothes, Hu Shu stood behind Pang Ziqi with a wry smile: "This is a new colleague from our police station..."
"He said I'm not a human being." Yin Xun pressed his guilty conscience to the bottom of his heart and deliberately made a look of anger.
"Hey, I'm sorry, the little boy is here for the first time." Hu Shu said, "Don't bother with him."
Pang Ziqi shook off Hu Shu's hand unhappy when she heard the words, stood up and said, "Who are you calling a child?"
Hu Shu said, "You."
Pang Ziqi said, "Aren't you a few years older than me?"
Hu Shu spread his hands: "A year older is also older."
Pang Ziqi seemed a little unhappy, he pointed at Lu Qingjiu: "Is this your acquaintance?"
"Yes." Hu Shu nodded, "The previous case was done thanks to him."
Hearing this, Pang Ziqi glanced up and down at Lu Qingjiu, and he said, "You live with him?" Naturally, he was referring to Yin Xun.
"We belong to a village." Lu Qingjiu replied.
"If you understand those things, you should also know that your aura is not good." Pang Ziqi said amazingly.
"Not good? What do you say?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"Strong vicious beast aura." Pang Ziqi glanced at Yin Xun when he talked about beasts, "Beasts are beasts. Although they pretend to be human, they will reveal their ferocity once they are stimulated, and they will regret it later. late."
Lu Qingjiu said, "You are very experienced."
Pang Ziqi sneered: "Experience is built up on the lives of the predecessors." He wanted to say something, but saw Lu Qingjiu make a stop gesture.
Lu Qingjiu's tone was gentle, but anyone could hear the firmness in his words: "Officer Pang, thank you for your advice, but I know my own affairs very well, and I don't need anyone else to help me make decisions."
Pang Ziqi stared at Lu Qingjiu for a moment, then said coldly, "I hope so."
Lu Qingjiu didn't want to talk to him, so he called Yin Xun and left, Pang Ziqi didn't keep them, but the bad eyes never looked away, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Yin Xun was very unhappy when he heard Pang Ziqi's words, and muttered that Pang Ziqi could speak, what kind of beast is not a beast, he is just a poor, weak and poor mountain god...
Lu Qingjiu said helplessly, "You never thought about it, isn't the beast Pang Ziqi said about you?"
Yin Xun reacted, "That's... Wait, he's talking about Bai Yuehu?"
Lu Qingjiu: "It's possible." Bai Yuehu is more suitable for the word beast than Yin Xun.
Yin Xun sighed, "Anyway, I hate this kind of person."
Lu Qingjiu didn't speak. The two of them walked from the teahouse to the door of the steamed buns shop, and asked the boss to pack the steamed buns they bought. By the way, they glanced in the direction of the teahouse.
After they left, Pang Ziqi and Hu Shu sat where they had just sat, and the two seemed to be arguing fiercely. Although they were far apart, Lu Qingjiu still saw Hu Shu slapped on the table emotionally, while Pang Ziqi was tit for tat with him.
Lu Qingjiu watched for a while, but felt that something was wrong.
Yin Xun is a non-human being, and he is a little more sensitive to these things than he is. He wondered, "Hey, it's so strange, who is that person next to Pang Ziqi?"
"What?" Lu Qingjiu said, "You mean Hu Shu?"
"No, it's not Hu Shu." Yin Xun said, "Look at the one standing behind him..."
Lu Qingjiu took a closer look and found that there was a person standing not far behind Pang Ziqi. That person was a woman with long hair, wearing a turquoise skirt and holding a brown umbrella in her hand. The umbrella was very large and deep. It just covered her face.
At first glance, the woman seems to have nothing to do with Pang Ziqi, but as long as you look closely, you will find that she seems to be standing behind Pang Ziqi on purpose.
"This is... what?" Lu Qingjiu was a little surprised, this thing should not belong to the category of human beings, and even if Yin Xun hadn't said a word just now, he would not have noticed that there was someone standing behind Pang Ziqi.
"I don't know." Yin Xun glanced at it, "It doesn't look like a good thing..." This thing had an ominous aura, making people reluctant to approach it.
Lu Qingjiu said, "...he didn't find it?"
Yin Xun said, "It doesn't seem to be."
It was probably because the eyes of the two were too obvious, and Pang Ziqi also felt their gaze. After he stood up, he glanced in the direction of the steamed buns, and then got up and left. When he walked forward, he stood behind him. The woman who was holding the umbrella also moved forward with his pace. She seemed to have no feet and was walking on the ground, as if floating in the air. If Pang Ziqi is fast, she is fast. If Pang Ziqi is slow, she is slow.
Lu Qingjiu looked a little creepy.
After Hu Shu sent Pang Ziqi away, he walked over with a sigh, apologized to Lu Qingjiu again, and explained that Pang Ziqi was sent from above to work on errands and would only stay here for a while, because the department was special, so it was also very special. The arrogance, in fact, people are not particularly bad...
He was talking, but found that Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun were both distracted, and said in a daze, "What are you two looking at?"
Yin Xun pulled Hu Shu over and pointed at Pang Ziqi who was about to walk away: "Did you see anything?"
"What?" Hu Shu was at a loss.
"It's just... Strange people or something." Yin Xun asked.
"Strange person?" Hu Shu said, "I don't think there is a stranger in this town than Pang Ziqi."
Since he said that, he would definitely not see the woman in Tsing Yi who was following Pang Ziqi. Lu Qingjiu euphemistically said, "Then tell Pang Ziqi when you go back. I feel that something is following him behind him." He Did not dare to say too clearly.
"Okay, but that's what his department does." Hu Shu waved his hand, "You don't have to worry too much."
After Lu Qingjiu asked carefully, he realized that it was because something happened again, and the special department was sent over. Of course, because of the need for confidentiality, Hu Shu didn't tell them exactly what was going on.
The three chatted for a while, and the buns were packed. Hu Shu helped them lift the buns to the car. He wondered why they bought so many buns. Even if they were a family of three, they would have to eat for a few weeks.
Lu Qingjiu smiled and didn't speak, God knows that this bun is the amount of Bai Yuehu's meal.
After returning home, Lu Qingjiu reheated the buns, cut pickles and porridge, and the three of them ate it. The taste of this xiao long bao has not changed at all. It still has a thin skin and a big filling. It is full of rich gravy in one bite. The firm meat filling is still elastic, and even Lu Qingjiu can take a sip.
While eating, Lu Qingjiu explained what happened in the town today. He skipped some details and mainly talked about the woman behind Pang Ziqi. Both he and Yin Xun were a little curious about what it was.
After listening, Bai Yuehu said that human beings are really brave.
"What do you mean? Are you brave?" Lu Qingjiu didn't understand.
Bai Yuehu said: "Well, he touched something that shouldn't be touched."
"What is it that shouldn't be touched?" Yin Xun said, "Is it a curse?"
Bai Yuehu said: "I don't know about it, but he must be very clear about it himself." He obviously lacked interest in Pang Ziqi's life and death.
Looking at Bai Yuehu's reaction, Lu Qingjiu knew a key point... That thing must not be delicious, otherwise Bai Yuehu's attitude wouldn't be so cold.
"It's really scary to be followed by something like this." Yin Xun felt terrified. "And he doesn't seem to be able to see..."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Yes."
Although they were curious about this matter, they did not take it to heart, and it just passed.
This year, the rainfall is relatively low, and the sunshine is sufficient, so the fruits are growing well. Yin Xun, who knows the mountain like the palm of his hand, said that there is a wild bayberry forest in the mountain. During this time, the bayberry is almost ripe. Greet Lu Qingjiu and go up the mountain with him to pick some and eat.
The fruit period of bayberry is very short, only about ten days. In addition, the flesh is not protected by the outer skin, and it is easy to be pecked by insects and birds, so wild bayberry is very rare. This piece of bayberry was specially preserved by Yin Xun.
Lu Qingjiu went up the mountain with Yin Xun with a basket on his back. After walking through the dense jungle, he saw Yang Meilin who Yin Xun was talking about.
The bayberry tree is not very tall, and the green branches are hung with fiery red bayberry, some of which are fully ripe, and turn into a beautiful purple red. Lu Qingjiu picked one and chewed it in his mouth and said with admiration: " So sweet."
"Yeah, it's sweet." Yin Xun said, "These trees are the fruits of my careful care every year..."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Have you finished eating so much?"
Yin Xun said: "If you can't finish eating, take it down the mountain to sell the money, and buy some meat with the remaining money..."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Why does it sound so miserable.
The two of them picked while eating. After picking a basket full, they were almost full. Bayberry is different from other fruits. It is sweet to eat, but if you eat too much, your teeth will be sour. Lu Qingjiu is fine. Yin After eating a full stomach, Xun's teeth were soft and he didn't even eat dinner.
Lu Qingjiu looked at it and thought it was really funny.
Bai Yuehu also likes bayberry, so after Lu Qingjiu washed bayberry, he brought it to a large basin and placed it in front of him for him to eat. Yin Xun watched resentfully from the side, he hadn't eaten enough yet, but his teeth were about to die. Facing Yin Xun's gaze, Bai Yuehu was very calm and didn't even give Yin Xun a single extra look.
Most of the dozens of catties of bayberry that were finally picked went into Bai Yuehu's stomach. Lu Qingjiu also sent some to Li Xiaoyu's house next door, and the rest was made of bayberry sauce.
Yangmei is very suitable for making sauce. The method is similar to that of cherries. Because of its own moisture and sweetness, the canned food has been removed from the sour taste and only left with sweetness. In summer, it is used to soak in water and then add some ice cubes. Delicious. This summer is almost over, and seeing that autumn is about to begin, Lu Qingjiu plans to go to town to buy some seeds for autumn.
Originally, farming was very particular about seasonality, and many crops needed to be planted in advance, but because Bai Yuehu took care of farming, Lu Qingjiu saved a lot of worry, as long as he provided seeds to Bai Yuehu, after a while corresponding crops. Sometimes Lu Qingjiu passed by the entrance of the village, and when he met the aunt and aunt to chat a few words, he could hear the aunt praise Bai Yuehu as a good farmer, and also said that although this young man was handsome, he did things very neatly, and asked Bai Yuehu. Yuehu has been planting for many years, otherwise why is the action of ploughing so skilled, others use cattle, and he has finished ploughing the field by himself...
After listening to the auntie's words, Lu Qingjiu had mixed feelings, and thought that other people's fox spirits are all glamorous / encounters, and his family's fox spirits are so different from other coquettish and cheap / goods, all the energy is put in the field. So after returning home, I felt pity, and stewed a big pot of beef in the evening.
Yin Xun asked blankly if there was anything good at home, but saw Lu Qingjiu looking at him and Bai Yuehu with loving eyes, and then gave them a chopstick of beef and told them to eat more.
Yin Xun: "..." What happened
After Lu Qingjiu finished eating, he asked Yin Xun to wash the dishes. He said that he was going to town to buy some seeds and some spices. He planned to marinate chicken feet and beef as snacks in the evening, but the marinade at home was almost the same. .
"Go, go." Yin Xun said, "Come back early."
Lu Qingjiu nodded in agreement. He carried his backpack to the side of the pickup truck, opened the hood of the pickup truck and stuffed a handful of marshmallows in it, then patted the pickup truck on the head and said, "Thank you, I'm going to town again."
The pickup honked happily, and this time it ran faster when it went down the mountain.
Lu Qingjiu set out at noon. He planned to buy the seeds and spices and go straight back. It's better to be early so that he can eat braised chicken feet in the evening.
After Lu Qingjiu parked the car, he went to the seed store to buy some seeds he needed in autumn. Just as he was checking out with the boss at the door after selecting the seeds, Yu Guang noticed a familiar figure walking across the street.
Lu Qingjiu turned his head and saw Pang Ziqi who had a bad attitude towards them before. When he saw Pang Ziqi's appearance clearly, his eyes instantly widened, and his pupils showed a look of horror.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Lu Qingjiu's expression was wrong, the owner of the seed store asked with some doubts.
"...No, it's fine." Lu Qingjiu shook his head.
"Do you know this new policeman?" The owner of the seed store thought it was Lu Qingjiu and Pang Ziqi having a holiday, he said, "He has a bad temper, but he does things well. I heard that he was transferred from above, and he is here too. Soon…”
Lu Qingjiu said, "Oh..." He answered vaguely, but the panic in his eyes did not diminish.
Although Pang Ziqi still looked like the one he had seen some time ago, the woman behind him had changed. The woman with the umbrella was already standing behind Pang Ziqi, her head resting on Pang Ziqi's shoulder, the umbrella in her hand. It also covered the heads of the two of them. This time, Lu Qingjiu could see the woman's face clearly. It couldn't be regarded as a human face at all. The eyes had no pupils, only the whites of the eyes. There were two small snakes spitting letters on the left and right ears. The snakes were red and green. With black eyes, he was staring at Pang Ziqi with vicious eyes.
Lu Qingjiu's scalp was numb, and when he was about to withdraw his gaze, he found that the woman noticed him at some point, tilted his head here, and looked over.
Lu Qingjiu was stared at by her white eyes, and his back immediately cooled down. He pretended not to see the woman and inadvertently withdrew his gaze, but the vicious gaze never disappeared until Pang Ziqi, who was patrolling the street. disappeared on the street corner.
What the hell is that? What did Pang Ziqi provoked? Lu Qingjiu thought with lingering fears, that thing looks very difficult to mess with, if Bai Yuehu is right, Pang Ziqi may be out of luck...
The author has something to say: Hahahahahahahaha yesterday's comment made me laugh to death, you are all talents
Lu Qingjiu: What made us meet, is it love
Bai Yuehu: It is poverty.
Lu Qingjiu:…
