Who would not like a little fox cub who is tender enough to water? If you put this sentence on Bai Yuehu, then the word "eating" may be added after liking.

The food that could have been swallowed in one gulp, but because of Lu Qingjiu's protection, Bai Yuehu decided to let it go after serious consideration, but not eating it does not mean that Bai Yuehu can tolerate him being at home every day. Grab something with yourself—even if it’s just a piece or two that’s not enough to fit between your teeth.

In order to appease Bai Yuehu, Lu Qingjiu took Yin Xun and the little fox to the town sometime on Saturday, planning to buy a sheep and roast it back.Yin Xun followed to make things easier for Lu Qingjiu, while the little fox huddled in Lu Qingjiu's coat pocket because he was afraid of being alone with Bai Yuehu.Lu Qingjiu struggled with it for a long time, but in the end he could only let it go.

Ever since he knew the true identity of his minivan, Lu Qingjiu's perception of it has become a bit subtle. Its prototype is indeed somewhat unflattering, but the current minivan is still quite cute, especially the two orange-yellow The flashing lights of his car are to cater for his occasional honking twice. Most importantly, the minivan once saved Lu Qingjiu, although... the way of saving Lu Qingjiu is still unwilling to think about it.

Yin Xun still didn't know what was sitting under him, he just complained about what was going on with the truck, why sometimes he always felt his back itching while sitting in it.Lu Qingjiu thought about it, but still didn't tell Yin Xun the truth, but just fooled it.

When they arrived in the town, the two picked a fat sheep and asked the boss to kill it and send it to the pickup truck.Lu Qingjiu went to the nearby market to buy various spices for roasting the whole lamb, and also bought a few catties of side dishes such as potatoes and onions to prepare for roasting the whole lamb together.

"Can Bai Yuehu finish eating such a big sheep?" Although he knew that Bai Yuehu had a big appetite, Yin Xun felt that it would be too exaggerated to eat the whole sheep.

"Should be able to finish eating, right?" Lu Qingjiu had inexplicable confidence in Bai Yuehu. Anyway, since Bai Yuehu came to his house, he never once said that he was full, at most it was almost a sentence.As for how much this amount is, no one knows, Bai Yuehu's stomach is like an endless abyss.

"Oh, I was just thinking about not roasting too much and wasting it." Yin Xun said, "Okay." This roasted whole lamb is only eaten when it is just roasted, and the second meal will definitely not be so delicious.

The two returned to the car after shopping, and saw the little fox jumping up and down in the cab as if being teased by something. Yin Xun watched out of the car window for a while, and said in horror: "It is messing with something. Play?" It was almost as if the little foxes could see something they couldn't.

Lu Qingjiu had a clue in his mind, but he didn't say a word, instead he directly opened the car door, picked up the little fox and stuffed it into his pocket, and patted its head lightly to signal it to calm down.

The little fox was quite human, he stopped moving after being slapped by Lu Qingjiu, and huddled into a ball obediently in his pocket.

A few hours later, the three returned to the old house.

Lu Qingjiu parked the car, and Yin Xun helped unload the living things from the truck.This time they not only bought food, but also bought a special charcoal fire for roasting whole sheep. The iron rack was rented by Lu Qingjiu in the town, and they had to return it in a few days.In fact, the most authentic method of roasting a whole lamb is to put it in the stove and roast it, so that the roasted lamb is the most delicious, but there is no such condition here, so we can only make do with it.

Lu Qingjiu went into the kitchen and started processing the mutton, and asked Yin Xun to take the little fox cub out to play.

After getting along these few days, although the little fox felt a little bit more secure and didn't follow Lu Qingjiu every day, but when Bai Yuehu was around, he still didn't dare to go into the yard unless someone was with him.

The mutton used in the roasted whole lamb needs to be marinated for a period of time. Lu Qingjiu is going to roast it at night, and dinner may not be until eight or nine o'clock.

In addition to roast lamb, he also prepared some other dishes. The weather is hot and lamb is a warming food. It is best to have some cold dishes such as cucumbers to cool off the heat.

Lu Qingjiu was cooking with his head down, but Yin Xun came over and said, "Singjiu, you have a visitor."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Guest?"

Yin Xun said: "I don't know him, I seem to be from Bai Yuehu's hometown."

Lu Qingjiu paused when he heard the words, a fellow of Bai Yuehu?Isn't Bai Yuehu's fellow villager a fox?A fluffy fox... Lu Qingjiu's eyes lit up as soon as he thought of something, and said, "Where is it?"

Yin Xun said, "Why are you so excited? You're in the yard."

Lu Qingjiu said: "I'll go and have a look."

He washed the things on his hands and went to the yard to join in the fun.Sure enough, as Yin Xun said, a stranger came to the yard. He was a very handsome man. Although his expression was very serious, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of charm, especially those peach eyes, which were slightly drooping to reveal a little Sad, let others see it and feel reluctant to embarrass him.

But obviously, Bai Yuehu, who is only interested in food, doesn't like this at all.Facing the offensive of the beauty crying and pleading, he was still lying on his rocking chair without even opening his eyes.

"Mr. Bai." The man's voice was clear and pleading, "Please help me, as long as you promise me, I will do anything for you."

Yin Xun stood behind Lu Qingjiu, poked his head over and watched the gossip with Lu Qingjiu passionately, he whispered: "Hey, what's the situation, this person is so beautiful, Sake, why don't you go out? The vixen wants Seduce Bai Yuehu."

Lu Qingjiu glanced at Yin Xun, thinking that Bai Yuehu himself is a vixen, afraid of being seduced.

After the man said this, he was about to kneel down, but Bai Yuehu opened his eyes and gave him a neutral look, but his movements froze instantly.

Bai Yuehu said: "Speak well, don't pretend in front of me."

The man's expression was stunned: "What?"

Bai Yuehu's tone was a bit cold: "Do you want me to say it a second time?"

As soon as he said this, Lu Qingjiu, who was watching the excitement from the side, saw that the alluring smile on the man's face disappeared, and his temperament also changed subtly.The man sighed and opened his mouth. Yin Xun and Lu Qingjiu were both choked by this opening. He said, "Mr. Bai, today we ask you to do something, do you think it will work?" ——This rough Shandong dialect accent made Lu Qingjiu feel like he was struck by lightning.Yin Xun was obviously also severely stimulated, and he didn't let go of Lu Qingjiu's arm for a long time.

"No." Bai Yuehu said, "The family is small, so we can't live there anymore."

The man said: "My baby is timid, and I am always bullied at home. If you promise me, I can..." He leaned into Bai Yuehu's ear and whispered a few words.

Bai Yuehu's lazily half-closed eyes opened, and he glanced at the man, but still didn't respond.

The man turned his eyes, but suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun who were standing by the door and peeking.Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun were a little embarrassed when they were discovered by the gossip, so they showed restrained smiles at the man.

The man walked towards Lu Qingjiu directly, his footsteps stopped in front of Lu Qingjiu, and he said in Mandarin: "Mr. Lu."

Lu Qingjiu who was named said: "Ah, hello."

"My name is Su Yan." The man smiled at Lu Qingjiu, "Jiu Yang."

The two got closer, and it was only when Lu Qingjiu noticed that there was a small tear mole at the corner of the man's eye. This tear mole would add a bit of cuteness to him—if he didn't speak Shandong dialect with that kind of accent if.

"A long time?" Lu Qingjiu said, "You know me?"

"Ah..." Su Yan seemed to realize that something was wrong with what she said, and immediately changed her words, and said with a smile, "I've heard someone mention it before."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Oh, okay."

When Su Yan was talking, a small white head popped out of his coat pocket. It was the little fox cub that Lu Qingjiu picked up from the side of the road, but the fox cub's fur was cut short and looked a little bit like the VIP. Developed, the little fox chirped a few times, turned to look at Su Yan,

Su Yan said: "Tell you to run around, the hair on your body is like this..." He obviously didn't know that this hair was cut by Lu Qingjiu, and thought it was bullied by someone, "Who made your hair look like this?" , tell me later, and I will teach it a lesson when I get back."

Lu Qingjiu let out a dry cough, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Su Yan didn't notice Lu Qingjiu's discomfort, and pulled the little fox cub out of his hands, saying, "Mr. Lu, I want to foster Su Xi with you for a while."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Well... Didn't you come to take it home?"

Su Yan said: "I would like to, but judging by its appearance, it doesn't want to go home with me."

Lu Qingjiu was taken aback.

Su Yan smiled wryly, and briefly explained what was going on. Of course, because Yin Xun, an outsider, was present, he also said it more euphemistically. He used pets to refer to the existence of Su Xi. Lu Qingjiu understood it very well. It turned out that there were many children in Su Yan's family, and Su Xi was the youngest. He was weak and sick since he was a child, and he couldn't become a human being at the age of transformation.What they Jingguai believe in is the law of the jungle. Even if they are brothers and sisters, Su Xi is still easy to be bullied.Everyone was a fox cub before, no matter how bullied they were, they wouldn't do too much, but after brothers and sisters transformed into humans one after another, Su Xi suffered even worse.

Although these little foxes have turned into humans, they are still young at heart, and it doesn't matter what they do. This time, they threw the poor little Su Xi to Shuifu Village—because there is a rumor among them that there is a fox eater in Shuifu Village. Big monster, I want Su Shi to lure the monster out.

"Oh, I see." Lu Qingjiu said, "Has Yuehu agreed?"

"This house belongs to you, so you must agree first." Su Yan said politely, "Of course, Su Xi is my little fox after all, and we will pay for his upbringing expenses every month."

Lu Qingjiu saw that Bai Yuehu had no intention of objecting, so he nodded in agreement: "Okay." He didn't ask how much the maintenance fee was, anyway, a fox cub can't eat much.

Seeing that Lu Qingjiu agreed, Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Lu."

"You're welcome." Lu Qingjiu originally wanted to invite Su Yan to dinner, but he was worried that Bai Yuehu would be unhappy, so he didn't say what he had to say in the end.

Su Yan handed Su Xi over to Lu Qingjiu and left. Lu Qingjiu went back to the house and continued to make his own roasted whole lamb. Only Yin Xun was still immersed in Su Yan's Shandong dialect, and finally came up with a In conclusion, no matter how beautiful a beauty is, as long as she speaks a dialect, it will give people a feeling of soul dislocation.

In the evening, Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun set up the iron racks in the yard, and after burning the charcoal, Lu Qingjiu put the mutton marinated for several hours on it.

The mutton is fresh, with various spices and seasonings in it. The fat makes a sizzling sound under the flame, and drops of oil drip down the meat into the charcoal fire, making a puffing sound.The rich aroma lingered throughout the small courtyard, and everyone in the family sat in the courtyard watching Lu Qingjiu barbecue.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua also watched eagerly, sucking the saliva in their mouths from time to time. The little fox sat on Yin Xun's lap, and his beautiful blue eyes never moved away from the mutton.Lu Qingjiu was afraid that they would be hungry, so he made some fried rice for them to fill their stomachs, but the few people staring at the mutton didn't move much, except Bai Yuehu, who had a big appetite and never worried about being full. The bowl was stuffed into the mouth in mouthfuls.

After roasting for about two hours, Lu Qingjiu confirmed that the mutton was cooked, so he took out the iron plate and put the mutton on it, then sprinkled the prepared green onion, cumin and chili noodles, and said: "I cut it up or you guys just start it ah?"

Cutting with a knife is more delicious, but it will destroy the texture of the mutton. It is not so convenient to eat if you tear it by hand, but the torn mutton is all strips, and you can taste the original taste.

"Tear up." Bai Yuehu said.

Lu Qingjiu said: "Okay." He put down the knife and fork, and then the few of them went to wash their hands together, and then started eating.

Although it was Lu Qingjiu's first time making this mutton, it was very successful. The outer layer of skin was crispy, while the inner meat was tender and firm, because the marinade had already marinated the meat thoroughly, and it was fresh mutton. So the smell of mutton is not heavy at all, and everyone is very happy to eat.

Lu Qingjiu had to take care of his three animals while eating, not to mention the little fox, little black and little flower also had to eat meat, but they were also strong in self-care, so Lu Qingjiu threw a piece of meat down and the three of them ate it separately.

The meat on this sheep should weigh thirty to forty catties. After all, Lu Qingjiu is an ordinary person, and he will be full after a while. Yin Xun also quit the battle afterward, so Bai Yuehu was left alone to continue eating.The mutton was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lu Qingjiu looked at Bai Yuehu's stomach, it was still flat and there was no growth.

Yin Xun, who was not afraid of death, whispered beside him: "Look at Bai Yuehu's belly..."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." He wanted to laugh a little, but tried his best to hold it back.

Bai Yuehu always ate food with high speed and high quality. When he finally stopped, there was only a big skeleton left of the mutton, and there was almost no meat on the skeleton.Lu Qingjiu picked out a big bone and handed it to the little fox to grind its teeth, but the bone looked bigger than the little fox, it tried all its strength to bite on it, and was completely reluctant to let go. After biting, it was pulled and wobbled , Yin Xun laughed very bluntly beside him.

After eating, Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu cleaned up the leftovers, and Lu Qingjiu went to the yard to pick some grapes.The grapes have begun to ripen one after another, and the crystal-clear ones hanging on the branches look very pleasant. Lu Qingjiu has tasted it before. His grapes are very sweet, with a hint of fruity acid in the sweetness. It's a great after-dinner dessert.

He picked the grapes, rinsed them briefly, and brought them to the yard.

"I won't eat, I'll go back first." Yin Xun said, "See you later."

Lu Qingjiu said: "See you later." He hesitated for a moment, then said, "By the way, Yin Xun, next month, I may have to go back."

Yin Xun said, "Go back to the city?"

"En." Lu Qingjiu responded.

"Okay." Yin Xun said, "How many days are you going? Don't worry, I will cook well after you leave." After he finished speaking, Bai Yuehu, who was resting beside him, glanced at him. Xun quickly shrank his neck.

"Maybe two or three days." With these mouths waiting at home, Lu Qingjiu didn't dare to leave for too long, but he had to go back for this matter, so he greeted Yin Xun in advance and asked him to take care of Bai Yuehu ——It is said that it is to take care of Bai Yuehu, the worst situation is that the two of them can make do with instant noodles for two days.

Yin Xun nodded and went back.

Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu both planned to go to sleep after finishing the grapes, but when Lu Qingjiu got up and was about to leave, Bai Yuehu suddenly asked, "What are you doing back there?"

Lu Qingjiu stopped in his footsteps: "There are some things at home..."

Bai Yuehu saw the hesitation on Lu Qingjiu's face, and said lightly, "It's okay if you don't want to say it."

Lu Qingjiu pursed his lips, his voice was a little low, but what he said shocked people's hearts. He said, "I have to go back and visit my parents' graves."

Bai Yuehu said: "Tomb sweeping?"

"Yeah." Lu Qingjiu said calmly, "My parents had an accident when I was in college."

Bai Yuehu was quiet for a moment: "Can you tell me what's going on? It doesn't matter if you don't want to."

Lu Qingjiu sighed. In fact, this matter hit him hard at the time, so he never wanted to mention it. Now that Bai Yuehu asked, there was only an almost dead calm in his heart. He turned around and walked back to Bai Yuehu. Next to Yuehu, he sat down again: "At that time, I was still in college. It was a summer vacation. My parents came back to visit my grandma, but suddenly the mountain collapsed, and both of them were gone."

Bai Yuehu listened quietly.

"There are other people in the village who disappeared together. The search and rescue team also came, but they didn't even find the body." Lu Qingjiu said, "After a few years, my grandma also left. A clothes tomb was set up... Grandma's tomb is still in the village."

"The landslide?" Bai Yuehu asked, "How many months?"

"August." Lu Qingjiu said, "It was the peak rainy season at that time, which is also normal, but I didn't expect it to happen to my parents." His tone was full of bitterness, "I..."

Bai Yuehu said: "My condolences."

There are some things that don’t need to be said too much, because no amount of words can soothe a huge pain. There is no such thing as empathy in the world.

Lu Qingjiu was somewhat grateful to Bai Yuehu for not showing any pity. In fact, during the time when this incident happened, whenever he met people he knew, he would see that unpleasant emotion in their eyes.

"This child is really pitiful. His parents are gone when he is only in his 20s."

"Yes, it's too pitiful. I heard that he has no relatives in his family."

"Is it just an elderly grandma? I have to go back and take care of the funeral..."

Lu Qingjiu was already numb to hearing such words. At first he was a little angry, but later he lost the desire to argue. Back then, when he returned to the village alone, it took too much energy for Lu Qingjiu to accept that his parents had no bones left. He also matured rapidly.

Another reason why Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun are so close is that Yin Xun helped him a lot when the accident happened, and the two had a tacit understanding on this matter. After Lu Qingjiu came back, he never I mentioned it, obviously because I was afraid of poking Lu Qingjiu's sad things.

"It's almost like this." Lu Qingjiu said, "So I have to go back to visit a grave every August. It only takes a day or two to go back and forth, and it will be very fast."

Bai Yuehu said: "Do you want to drive back by yourself?" Generally, driving a long-distance car is very tiring, but their family's situation is special, Lu Qingjiu really wants to drive back, just let the small truck change state, and don't need to do it yourself drive.

"Driving? No more." Lu Qingjiu said.

"Let him drive you back." Bai Yuehu's attitude was firm, "It won't take much time, it's more convenient than the train."

Lu Qingjiu said: "But..."

Bai Yuehu said: "Go early and return early."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." That's right, if we go here for a few more days, who knows what a miserable scene we will see when we come back. The stuff made by Yin Xun is poisonous, and Bai Yuehu will definitely not eat it, Bai Yuehu It's fine if he doesn't eat anyway, he's a vixen and he won't starve to death, but there are other things to eat at home, especially the palm-sized fox cub, Lu Qingjiu is really afraid that Yin Xun will feed it to death... How to explain to other family members.

"Okay, then I'll go to bed first." Lu Qingjiu said, "Good night."

"Good night." Bai Yuehu said.

Lu Qingjiu slept very well that night, and didn't have any strange dreams, and he woke up the next morning.

It's just that he didn't know if it was because he ate too much mutton in the summer. When he got up, he felt his nose was itchy, and when he rubbed it, he saw blood on his hands.

"Ah!" Lu Qingjiu hurried to the front yard with his nose up, washed the blood off his hands, and then found two pieces of paper to plug his nostrils.As a result, when Yin Xun came, he also had two balls of paper stuffed in his nose, and the two couldn't help laughing when they saw each other's embarrassed appearance at the same time.

"You have a nosebleed too?" Yin Xun's tone was nasal.

Lu Qingjiu said: "Yes."

"Maybe the mutton is too nourishing." Yin Xun said vaguely, "We are eating mutton, right?"

Lu Qingjiu: "...What do you mean by that?"

Yin Xun said: "No, I'll just say it casually." He sniffled and changed the subject, "What shall we have for lunch today?"

"What do you want to eat?" Lu Qingjiu thought for a while, and said, "By the way, where did you catch the fish that day? Did you catch it with Bai Yuehu?"

"No." Yin Xun replied, "I met Bai Yuehu on the way back from catching fish, and I helped him carry the bag."

"Oh." Lu Qingjiu said, "Is that so." He glanced at Yin Xun and saw his friend's face was calm, so he didn't ask any more questions.
