After the outing that day, Lu Qingjiu originally thought that the dragon would find him and tell him something, but for a long time, he didn't hear from him again, only Bai Yuehu occasionally mentioned to him, Said that the dragon had escaped from Shuifu Village, and there was no trace of him around.
Lu Qingjiu thought a lot about the word "go" written in his hand, but no matter how many conjectures he had, no one ever gave him a satisfactory answer.
In spring, the trees in the yard are full of leaves again, and the green grape vines meander along the shelves, covering half of the sky in the yard, blocking the sunlight and casting a black shadow, but it provides a place to cool down in the hot summer in advance. .
Yin Xun's birthday was a month later than Lu Qingjiu's, in mid-April. In the capital, the peach blossoms and flowing water mandarin fish are fat. April is the day when the peach blossoms are in full bloom and the mandarin fish are fat. In order to celebrate Yin Xun's birthday, Lu Qingjiu went to town early to buy plump mandarin fish, as well as some dishes that were not eaten often and were troublesome to prepare. He planned to give Yin Xun a grand birthday.
The cake must be made, this time Lu Qingjiu intends to make a durian layer. Before he came here, Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu had hardly eaten tropical fruits. Lu Qingjiu casually asked if they liked durian. Yin Xun said seriously that he didn't eat durian mainly for two reasons.
"Which two?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"One is because durians are more expensive." Yin Xun said sadly, "The other is because I am relatively poor."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." What kind of life did his poor son live.
Lu Qingjiu bought a whole durian to go home. He didn't throw away the durian skin and planned to use it to stew chicken. The durian peeled out had a strong and unique aroma. He casually fed a piece of Bai Yuehu who was standing beside him.
Bai Yuehu put the durian in his mouth, frowning slightly, Yin Xun also ate a small piece, his expression was similar to Bai Yuehu's, he looked quite serious, and he didn't know whether he liked it or not.
Lu Qingjiu said, "Do you like it?" After all, some people are not used to durian, they like it very much, and they don't want to touch it if they don't.
"How much is a pound?" Yin Xun asked in a low voice.
Lu Qingjiu: "This one is over five hundred."
Yin Xun's expression changed immediately: "I like it! Let me eat it again!" This is not the smell at all, it is the aroma of RMB.
Lu Qingjiu showed helplessness, and said that if you don't like it, don't force it. He can make a thousand-layer cake with a different flavor. Mango is actually not bad...
But after hearing the price of durian, Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu both said with serious faces that they had never eaten such a delicious fruit before, making Lu Qingjiu laugh and cry.
The ten chickens I bought last year in the yard turned into twelve, or because I ate a lot of them. Lu Qingjiu planned the menu and felt that the stewed chicken was a bit boring, so he might as well make the boiled chicken. And Yin Xun's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and fish with pickled cabbage. He can make as many as he can. Anyway, he has Bai Yuehu at home, so he's not afraid of running out of excess vegetables.
Lu Qingjiu was about to call Bai Yuehu to ask him to pick some fresh vegetables in the field, but when he heard the sound of a car engine coming from the door, someone seemed to have parked their car in front of their house.
Sure enough, a moment later, there was a knock on the door from the courtyard. Lu Qingjiu went to open the door, but saw Jiufeng, who had not seen him for a long time, standing at the door and looking at him with a smile.
"Sake, long time no see." Jiufeng greeted Lu Qingjiu eagerly. The necklaces that looked like eight heads were still hanging around her neck. Just after she said hello, the eight heads rushed to say hello to Lu Qingjiu. .
"Long time no see." Lu Qingjiu noticed that behind Jiufeng stood a tall man wearing a black mask with only one pair of eyes showing, "What's the matter?"
"Is Bai Yuehu at home?" Jiufeng asked.
"He went to the ground." Lu Qingjiu said, "It's estimated that he won't be back in a while." He had a good impression of Jiufeng, so he paused and asked, "Are you going in and waiting for him?"
"Okay." Jiufeng nodded happily, then turned and pointed to the man standing behind her, "This is Shaohao, and he came to ask Bai Yuehu for something."
As soon as Lu Qingjiu heard the name Shaohao, he understood. There is such a deity in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. His full name is Baidi Shaohao. Legend has it that when he was born, five phoenixes flew in the sky and could manage hundreds of birds, whether they lived in plants, stones, or birds. The beasts are covered with beautiful patterns, and they are very romantic gods.
"You are Lu Qing Bar." Shaohao's voice was very gentle, and he seemed to be a good-natured person. He walked up to Jiufeng and stretched out his hand to Lu Qingjiu, "I have a long time."
Lu Qingjiu had become accustomed to being "heard of", so he stretched out his hand and shook Shaohao's hand, and greeted the two of them into the courtyard.
There was still something cooking in the pot, so Lu Qingjiu asked Yin Xun to bring some snacks for the two of them to eat, and then he went back to the kitchen.
"Why are they coming to our house?" Yin Xun has always been wary of strangers.
"I don't know." Lu Qingjiu said, "It seems that he came to find Bai Yuehu."
Yin Xun snorted and brought out the snacks to the two of them.
Some of these snacks were bought in the town, and some were made by Lu Qingjiu. They tasted very good. Jiufeng swallowed the snacks when she saw the snacks. "Just try it, it's delicious."
Shaohao was a little hesitant when he heard the words, but seeing how happy Jiufeng was eating, he still reached out and took off the mask from his face. After taking off the mask, Yin Xun realized that the lower half of the man's face was embroidered with black patterns, which almost covered half of his face. These patterns were all very beautiful, but the embroidery on his face inexplicably made more people in front of him. A bit of a creepy vibe.
Yin Xun didn't dare to look any further, he put down the snacks, turned around and left.
Shaohao looked at his back and asked, "Is he a mountain god?"
"Yeah." Jiufeng crunched and chewed the dried sweet potatoes dried by Lu Qingjiu, and said with a satisfied face, "It's very fragrant, right? It smells like meat and ganoderma... If only I could eat it." It's a pity that there is Bai Yuehu. stare.
Shaohao smiled and said, "If you eat him, Bai Yuehu can also have a meal." Jiufeng ate Yin Xun, and Bai Yuehu probably wouldn't let Jiufeng go.
Jiufeng blinked: "Isn't this not eaten?"
Shaohao took a mouthful of dried sweet potatoes and ignored Jiufeng.
When Bai Yuehu came back from the field, he brought a lot of vegetables. He wore a straw hat on his head and rubber boots on his feet. He looked like a farmer's child. After he entered the yard, he saw the two guests sitting in the yard. He didn't say hello, but went into the kitchen and handed Lu Qingjiu the dishes in his hand.
"Your friend came to find you." Lu Qingjiu said.
"Well." Bai Yuehu's attitude was very cold.
"They came looking for you, right? I'll come in the kitchen, you can accompany them." Lu Qingjiu said.
Bai Yuehu nodded, turned around and went out.
It's just that Bai Yuehu's expression was a little wrong, and Lu Qingjiu thought it was a little strange. He was more careful. When washing vegetables, he went to a position near the window. The window was facing the yard. Standing inside, he could vaguely hear the yard. The voice of several people talking.
"Yuehu, long time no see." Shaohao said.
Bai Yuehu sat down directly opposite Shaohao: "What's wrong?"
Shaohao said, "There is something here, do you want to take it?"
Bai Yuehu: "No answer."
When Shaohao heard Bai Yuehu's refusal so decisively, he seemed a little surprised. He said, "The price is quite high, why don't you accept it?"
"No." Bai Yuehu said, "You won't be looking for me in the future."
Shaohao: "... Really?" He sat up straight and looked at Bai Yuehu with incredulous eyes, "It's not like you."
Bai Yuehu raised his chin slightly, his expression a little proud: "No need."
Jiufeng whispered beside him: "I just said that he is doing well now. If you can't invite him, you still don't believe me."
She nibbled two more sweet potato fries, weeping with sadness, "Where is it like me, there is no meal, and the last meal is not the next meal."
Shaohao glanced at the kitchen with a strange expression, Lu Qingjiu hurriedly shrank to the side, but he still felt like he was being seen. The conversation between these people is very strange, why did Shaohao come to find Bai Yuehu? How does this sound like you are seducing your own children to go out to work? The more Lu Qingjiu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he put his ears up pointed, for fear of missing something.
"You don't have to look for me in the future." Bai Yuehu said, "I won't do it."
Shaohao said, "Your standard of living has skyrocketed. See if you can do this, I'll give you five hundred dollars more..."
Bai Yuehu: "Five hundred?"
Shaohao: "Enough for you to eat Xiao Long Bao."
Lu Qingjiu, who was eavesdropping behind, was in a very complicated mood. What about five hundred yuan, what is this Shaohao going to do with Bai Yuehu? He will give Bai Yuehu five hundred. Does his fox spirit get five hundred yuan? Don't say it. Five hundred, don't even think about five thousand.
But obviously, Bai Yuehu's brain circuit is different from Lu Qingjiu's, and Lu Qingjiu actually felt hesitation from his silence. Lu Qingjiu couldn't believe that his little farmer was actually bewitched by 500 yuan!
"Go?" Shaohao asked again, chewing on the nuts.
Bai Yuehu said: "I think about it."
Lu Qingjiu couldn't listen anymore. He put the dishes in his hand and walked out of the kitchen aggressively. He smirked at the three people chatting in the yard: "What are you talking about?"
"He asked me to do something." Bai Yuehu was quite frank.
"What to do?" Lu Qingjiu really couldn't think of anything that could invite Bai Yuehu for five hundred yuan.
Seeing Lu Qingjiu's calf-protecting appearance, Shaohao laughed, "Don't worry, I just asked him to help me eat something."
"What to eat?" Lu Qingjiu looked suspicious like a parent who saw his child being kidnapped.
"There is a group of animals called Youxu in my territory." Shaohao said, "I have been hunting and killing the birds I raised. Because there are too many, it is difficult to clean up, so I want Bai Yuehu to help. "
Lu Qingjiu said, "How much did you pay?"
Shaohao said, "I usually give you one thousand at a time, but this time I will add five hundred more." So it was one thousand and five.
Lu Qingjiu said, "One thousand and five? Is this secluded snake delicious?" He asked Bai Yuehu.
Bai Yuehu shook his head: "It's terrible."
Lu Qingjiu: "How does it compare to Yu Shi's concubine's corpse?"
Bai Yuehu thought for a while: "A little better." He paused for a moment and added, "At least the meat is soft."
Lu Qingjiu showed affection towards Bai Yuehu, what kind of life did his fox spirit live...
Shaohao had clearly seen the fact that Lu Qingjiu was the owner of Bai Yuehu, so he spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, I know you won't let him take it, but at least let me have a lunch."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Okay, today is Yin Xun's birthday. You and Jiufeng should stay for dinner."
Hearing this, Jiufeng happily started making noises with her other eight heads, and she was not reconciled until Bai Yuehu was annoying.
After Shaohao ate some snacks, he stopped and put on his mask again.
Yin Xun curiously asked if these patterns were tattooed by himself. Shaohao shook his head: "No, I was born with them. Some people were afraid of seeing them, so I covered them up."
Unlike Bai Yuehu and Jiufeng, who were completely away from the crowd, Shaohao seemed to live in a human society, and Lu Qingjiu also noticed that the car he drove to the door was a Porsche supercar. The car was parked in front of their house just out of step with their homely style.
However, this made Lu Qingjiu a little curious, why some mythical creatures can integrate into human society, while others can't, after he asked his own question, Shaohao said with a smile: "Because those creatures follow in mythology. People live together, or are people themselves.”
Lu Qingjiu said, "So if it's not a mythical creature close to people, it can't integrate into human society?"
Shaohao: "Well... I can't say that." He took Bai Yuehu as an example, "For example, if Bai Yuehu wants to go to work in the human society, the energy he spends is not enough for what he earns back. "
Lu Qingjiu said: "That's because he didn't find the right way to work..." With Bai Yuehu's beautiful face, it's more than enough to be a vase star, even if he doesn't act, taking hard photos or something should still be very popular. welcome.
"I can't help it." Shaohao spread his hands, "He has no ID card, no household registration book, no education..." Seeing Bai Yuehu's expression becoming more and more gloomy, Shaohao quickly added, "Of course, these things It's not very important either."
Bai Yuehu didn't say a word, picked up a dried sweet potato, and bit it with a click.
Shaohao laughed awkwardly, feeling that his neck was a little cold, and he was really floating. That is, Bai Yuehu didn't dare to go crazy when Lu Qingjiu was present, so he gave a lifeless show.
The more Lu Qingjiu listened, the more saddened he felt. How much grievance his fox has suffered over the years. Before, he couldn't even afford the seeds for planting vegetables, so he could only swallow his saliva when passing by the steamed bun shop. Thinking like this, a father-like love was born in my heart, and I can't wait to hold Bai Yuehu in my arms and touch his head to tell him that everything has a father.
Although Shaohao didn't invite Bai Yuehu, he somehow managed to get a lunch, and he seemed quite satisfied.
After Lu Qingjiu asked Bai Yuehu to refuse Shaohao's invitation, he went into the kitchen at ease and burned the rest of the dishes.
Yin Xun hadn't celebrated his birthday for a long time, and tears welled up in his eyes when the cake was served. Lu Qingjiu put the pre-made cardboard crown on Yin Xun's head, lit candles on the cake, and sang a birthday song to him together.
Yin Xun cried and cried, thanking Lu Qingjiu for giving him the chance to be a human again.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Forget it, don't bother with children.
The cake is made of durian layers. Lu Qingjiu made it last night and kept it in the refrigerator. Now, take it out and cut it into a few pieces. After Yin Xun blows out the candles, he distributes it to everyone. This Melaleuca is very successful, and the appearance is also very beautiful. The cream has a sauce made of durian, and the taste is rich.
After eating the cake as an appetizer dessert, there is a table of dinner. There are chicken, duck, fish, and meat. Lu Qingjiu cooked all the dishes that Yin Xun likes to eat.
Shaohao tasted the dish made by Lu Qingjiu, and was amazed: "The craftsmanship is good."
Lu Qingjiu was a little embarrassed: "It's all fragrant vegetables from the species of white moon fox, and it's the meat of the scallion deaf. Just stir fry it and it will be very fragrant."
Shaohao smiled and said, "You are too modest."
Lu Qingjiu didn't speak anymore, anyway, he really felt that his craftsmanship was very ordinary, mainly because he had nothing else to do at ordinary times, all his energy was on eating, and with special ingredients, the taste was better than ordinary food. normal.
Jiufeng and Bai Yuehu didn't say a word during the whole process, and the two of them were eating as if they were fighting.
Shaohao's appetite was similar to that of a human, and he almost put down his chopsticks with Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu was a little surprised: "You won't eat it?"
"I'm full." Shaohao wiped his mouth, "If you have time, come to my bird garden and play."
Lu Qingjiu replied, "Okay."
After drinking and eating, Yin Xun touched his belly and said that he couldn't eat any more, so he collapsed into a piece of cake on the chair. Shaohao sat beside him and looked at Yin Xun. Lu Qingjiu noticed that Shaohao seemed to be very interested in Yin Xun from the moment he walked in. Yin Xun, this rough-hearted, was completely unaware.
"Is he special?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
Shaohao realized that Lu Qingjiu was asking himself, and laughed: "No, I just think the aroma on his body is very attractive."
Yin Xun, who was already paralyzed and was about to fall asleep, immediately woke up when he heard this. He wasn't narcissistic enough to think that Shaohao meant anything to him. As a humanoid snack, he clearly realized that he was in the food chain. The cruel reality at the bottom, when Shaohao praised him for his attractive aroma, was basically the same as praising him for being delicious.
Lu Qingjiu said, "Have you ever eaten Ganoderma lucidum?"
Shaohao said, "I have eaten it." He licked his lips, "It tastes good." He smiled at Yin Xun as he spoke. Although the smile was gentle, it made Yin Xun's nervous eyes widen.
Lu Qingjiu said, "He's my friend, don't worry about it, eat something else."
Shaohao said, "Okay."
The conversation was over, Shaohao who was full and Jiufeng who was still not satisfied got up to say goodbye. Lu Qingjiu watched the two walk to the door and got on the sports car and disappeared into the village before turning around and going home.
Yin Xun saw that Shaohao was gone, and said that this person is really a man with a beastly heart, and he actually discussed in front of the client whether the client was good or not...
Lu Qingjiu thought it was a bit funny, but afraid that Yin Xun would not laugh out of anger, he reached out and patted his silly son on the shoulder.
After Bai Yuehu was full, he went to lie down in the yard. Lu Qingjiu remembered something, went to the room to get his coat, and then called Yin Xun into the yard.
"I've decided to give you some pocket money." Lu Qingjiu took out his wallet from his jacket, thinking that his fox spirit and Xiao Shan Shen are so big, they must have some pocket money on them, or suddenly another Shaohao , what should I do if I cheated the two of them for 500 yuan? He usually buys things by himself, and he didn't notice it for a while, but Shaohao gave Lu Qingjiu a wake-up call.
"Qian, why do you want to give us money?" Yin Xun looked at Lu Qingjiu blankly, obviously not understanding why Lu Qingjiu suddenly mentioned this.
Lu Qingjiu said, "You can save money to buy snacks, or anything else you want to buy. Our family is in good condition now, and we will definitely not be able to finish our food, so just buy whatever you want, and don't save it." To be able to live such a life, I really have to thank the lady ghost in the backyard. The lady ghost really paid too much for this family...
Yin Xun wanted to say something else, but seeing Lu Qingjiu's firm attitude, he didn't insist on his opinion any longer.
Bai Yuehu originally wanted to refuse, but looking at Lu Qingjiu's solemn expression, he still didn't say what was in his mouth.
Lu Qingjiu said, "The monthly allowance of 2,000 yuan is not enough for me to ask for it again. You are not allowed to go out and pick up work randomly - you must tell me before picking up work like Shaohao." He instructed earnestly, " Don't be fooled by five hundred dollars."
Bai Yuehu stopped talking.
Lu Qingjiu ignored him, took out a stack of money from his wallet, counted 2,000 yuan, and stuffed a stack into each of the two's hands.
Yin Xun looked at so many red renminbi, his palms trembled slightly, and said, "This is too much..." He has never seen so much money. Usually, Lu Qingjiu pays the bill. For large items, just swipe the QR code on your mobile phone.
Bai Yuehu looked solemn: "Yes, too many."
Lu Qingjiu sighed, "Take it!" He couldn't see his two family being wronged, and Shaohao had to eat mud for a thousand and a half white moon fox, which made him completely unacceptable. His fox is so cute and fluffy, how can he let him do such rough work again!
Although Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu both expressed their incompatibility with the huge sum of money, but at Lu Qingjiu's insistence, they finally accepted the money. Yin Xun said that he wanted to deposit it in his bank card, but because Bai Yuehu didn't have an ID card, he took an old jar from the utility room, washed the jar and counted the money carefully, and then carefully stuffed it. got in.
Lu Qingjiu said, "By the way, Yuehu, even if you don't have an ID card, you should be able to make money in other ways." In his impression, dragons are all representatives of wealth, so how can someone as poor as Bai Yuehu be? The buns can't be eaten.
Bai Yuehu said, "I can't make money directly from humans."
Lu Qingjiu: "Why?"
Bai Yuehu: "I will be hungry."
Lu Qingjiu was a little bewildered.
"The more you earn, the more hungry you will be." Bai Yuehu explained in a slow voice, "It's better to do nothing." Before Lu Qingjiu came, he was hungry almost day and night, and the food cooked by humans There will be people in it, which is a good food to satisfy hunger, but he has no money and can't buy it, so he can only eat mythical creatures such as stingrays to satisfy his hunger.
Lu Qingjiu said, "Then you are not hungry when I give you money?"
Bai Yuehu shook his head.
Lu Qingjiu was relieved. He looked at Bai Yuehu with pity, thinking how did these two survive without his own life? He must treat them well and give them the warmest fatherly love... Bah, is friendship.
The author has something to say: Bai Yuehu: Although durian is stinky, as long as you think about the price, it feels delicious.
Yin Xun: Right, right.
Lu Qingjiu: ... ? ?
