Fantasy Farm

In the old house, all the rooms that need to be used on weekdays are basically taken care of, but there are still a few rooms that Lu Qingjiu has not moved. Those rooms have been in disrepair for a long time, and the roofs are a little broken. Wait until you are free before finding someone to completely renovate the whole house.

After Lu Qingjiu arrived here, he almost fell asleep on the bed, and the insomnia that plagued him in the past disappeared.

The air in the countryside is good, especially in the morning. Lu Qingjiu wakes up at seven o'clock. After a simple breakfast, he takes out the beans soaked in advance last night from the water, and carries a large bag of beans to the big house at the head of the village. millstone.

Today, he and Yin Xun agreed to grind some beans and eat some bean curd, and Yin Xun took the beans from his house yesterday.

Most of the people in Shuifu Village knew the news that Lu Qingjiu had returned from the city. Along the way, the villagers greeted Lu Qingjiu enthusiastically, with a very friendly attitude. They seemed to like this college student who came back from outside very much. As soon as he responded, he would live here for a long time, and it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with the villagers.

When he arrived at Mopan, Yin Xun was already sitting next to Mopan, nibbling a handful of fried winter melon seeds in his hand. Seeing Lu Qingjiu coming, he stood up and greeted him: "Are you here?"

"En." Lu Qingjiu said, "You are so early?"

"I didn't sleep well yesterday because my head was so swollen." Yin Xun said, "I feel better when I wake up in the morning."

Lu Qingjiu looked at Yin Xun, and found that his face had indeed subsided, so he was relieved, and said, "You put the beans, and I'll grind the mill."

"Okay." Yin Xun didn't argue with Lu Qingjiu either.

So the two divided the work and quickly ground the beans.

This millstone has been in the village for decades. When Lu Qingjiu was a child, he had the memory of climbing on the millstone to play and being spanked by his grandma. When he was young, he was so cute, he followed a group of friends to run all over the mountains and plains, almost all over the village. every corner.It's just that almost all the little friends in the village have left now, and only Yin Xun, a young boy, is left in the village.

The beans are grown by Yin Xun's family themselves. The quality is very good. The soy milk is white and fine, exuding the fragrance of beans.Bring it back to boil later, and then add brine. When the soy milk condenses into lumps, the tofu curd is ready.

A pot of beans turned into milky white soy milk, Yin Xun also put the bean dregs into the bag, this bean dregs is a good thing to feed pigs, so it can't just be thrown away.

The two went one after the other, Yin Xun took the bean dregs, Lu Qingjiu carried the soy milk, and returned to the old house.

"I'm going to feed the pig." Yin Xun lifted the things in Yang's hand.

"Go." Lu Qingjiu thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, the neighbor's kid named those two little wild boars yesterday."

Yin Xundao: "Li Xiaoyu? What did he name the pig?"

"The big one is called Xiao Hua, and the small one is called Xiao Hei." Lu Qingjiu replied.

"Why is it called Xiaohua?!" Yin Xun said, "Are you going to bring up my sadness!"

"It was taken by the child, and I can't argue with him." Lu Qingjiu explained to Yin Xun helplessly.

"Oh." Yin Xun didn't say anything after listening, but said with a vicissitudes of life: "The big one must be better than the small one..."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." Please shut up quickly.

While Yin Xun was feeding the pigs, Lu Qingjiu poured the soy milk into the pot, then lit it on the fire, brought it to a boil, then simmered it slowly, adding brine while cooking, and then compacted it with a spoon.Ordering bean curd is a technical task. If you press hard, the bean curd will be too old, and if you press lightly, the bean curd will not form.Lu Qingjiu has also made it at home before, so he is quite experienced. A pot of soy milk has begun to slowly turn into a solid state.

While making bean curd, Yin Xun's voice came from the yard: "Sake! Someone is looking for it!"

"Who is it?" Lu Qingjiu responded, "Who is looking for me?"

"You will know when you come out and see." Yin Xun replied.

Lu Qingjiu suppressed the fire, turned around and went to the yard, saw Yin Xun standing in the yard, but it was the man next to Yin Xun who caught his attention.

"You... Hello." Lu Qingjiu originally wanted to say hello to him, but he was still holding a spoon in his hand, so he could only wave the spoon in his hand awkwardly.

"Hello." The man opened his mouth, his voice was very soft, but he could hear it clearly.

"What's the matter with you?" Being stared at by the man like this, Lu Qingjiu felt inexplicably embarrassed.The man was very good-looking, he still had the lazy look he had seen a few days ago, his eyes were unique red phoenix eyes, his nose was straight, and his whole body was full of classical beauty like ink painting.

"I said I will come to you." The man said, "I am here."

Lu Qingjiu: "..."

He remembered that the man's name was Bai Yuehu, and he also remembered what the man said when the two met in the market before, but he didn't expect that he would really come to his door.

"What, you forgot?" Bai Yuehu stared into Lu Qingjiu's eyes.

"No, I haven't forgotten." Lu Qingjiu said, "Come... I'll come when I come, do you want to eat bean curd?"

Bai Yuehu said: "What is Douhua?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "Delicious food... Do you have any luggage? Put it in the house first?"

Bai Yuehu nodded.

Lu Qingjiu led him to the guest room that had just been cleaned, and he was relieved to see Bai Yuehu go in.

Yin Xun looked stunned, stretched out his hand to grab Lu Qingjiu, and said in a low voice, "Hey, did you just invite people in like this?"

"He is a good man." Lu Qingjiu said.

"How do you know?" Yin Xun stared.

Lu Qingjiu said: "Because he looks good."

Yin Xun: "..."

Of course Lu Qingjiu was joking. In fact, he dared to call this Bai Yuehu into the house because of the cloth bag Bai Yuehu gave him. The gecko tail in the cloth bag confirmed some of Lu Qingjiu's conjectures. Everything that happened that night It's not a dream, but a fact of real existence. If there is no man, he might have become the meal of that huge gecko.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm a big man, what can happen." Lu Qingjiu patted Yin Xun's shoulder, comforting his friend.

Yin Xun glanced at Lu Qingjiu, then at the man in the room, and muttered: "What's wrong with men, men are not safe these days, although the one who is not safe may not be you..."

Lu Qingjiu was startled: "...What do you mean?"

Yin Xun: "You heard me wrong, I didn't say anything."

"I'm too lazy to tell you, the bean curd is still in the pot, you go and cut up the meat, I'll fry the meat and eat it later." Lu Qingjiu carried Yin Xun back to the kitchen.

This meat was bought by Yin Xun in the morning. It is authentic pork belly, which is very fragrant when used to stir-fry.After Lu Qingjiu ordered the tofu curds, he cut the pork belly into even three-finger widths. After heating up the oil, he added garlic sprouts and watercress to stir-fry.After the meat and oil come into contact, it exudes a rich aroma unique to meat. The white fat part is fried out of fat and turns into an attractive golden yellow. The whole piece of pork belly is curled up, and you can know the taste before you taste it. Definitely not bad.

Yin Xun couldn't wait to pick up a piece with his chopsticks, chewed it twice and sighed: "It's delicious, this meat is too fragrant."

"Take it out, and I'll make another cabbage and egg drop soup." Lu Qingjiu wiped the sweat off his chin with his hand, and said, "Put out the rice and bean curd as well, I'll make a bean curd condiment later. "

"Okay." Yin Xun happily went to work.

Lu Qingjiu finished the rest of the things, and the two people outside were already obediently sitting in front of the table, waiting for him eagerly.That's all for Yin Xun, Lu Qingjiu actually saw the look of expectation from Bai Yuehu's face.

Lu Qingjiu put the things in his hand on the table and said, "Eat."

Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu who were next to him picked up the chopsticks together after hearing the words, and went towards the meat.

Lu Qingjiu also picked up a chopstick of twice-cooked pork. After tasting it, he found it tasted really good. His cooking skills are actually pretty average, but I don’t know if it’s because of the ingredients. It is not greasy at all, but it is very chewy and soft, and it is very fragrant.

Lu Qingjiu tried some bean curd again, and the bean curd was also very successful, soft and firm, dipped in a little specially prepared seasoning, it goes well with rice, Lu Qingjiu can eat a big bowl by himself.

He was almost full after eating two bowls of rice, and Yin Xun also ate about the same, but seeing Bai Yuehu's posture, he didn't intend to stop at all. The most surprising thing was that his eating movements were quite elegant, as if he was not eating something homely. They are not side dishes, but some exotic delicacies.

Yin Xun touched his belly and said, "I'm full."

"I'm full too." Lu Qingjiu said, "Yuehu, wash the dishes later."

Bai Yuehu nodded naturally when he heard the words, as if he had fully integrated into this collective family.

Lu Qingjiu didn't think there was anything wrong with asking him to wash the dishes. Although he didn't know why he wanted to live here, since he lived here, he must be used to doing these things.

When Yin Xun was full, he got up and said goodbye, saying he wanted to go home and take a nap.

And Bai Yuehu picked up the bowls and chopsticks, rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.Lu Qingjiu was also going to sleep for a while, so he moved a chair to the yard, ready to sleep in the sun.The sun in early spring is much gentler than that in summer, shining through the clouds makes people feel warm all over.

When Lu Qingjiu sat on the recliner and was about to fall asleep in a daze, he felt something dripping on his face. He woke up suddenly, only to realize that the bright sun above his head had disappeared at some point, and only A dark cloud.Tiny raindrops fell from the clouds, pattering down on his cheeks.

It is going to rain?Lu Qingjiu reached out and touched the tip of his nose, feeling a bit wet. He got up from the chair and was about to walk into the house when he heard a strange sound... touch, touch, touch, as if someone was using The stone hit something heavily, it should be something like meat, because Lu Qingjiu could clearly hear the sticky sound of the meat being smashed.

Lu Qingjiu's footsteps moved slowly, he went around the corner, and saw the backyard shrouded in rain.A man turned his back to him, holding a heavy stone in his hand. The stone was covered with bright red blood. He bent down, and hit the thing in front of him hard.Although Lu Qingjiu was far away, he could clearly see what he was smashing. It was a bloody man. The man's face could not be seen clearly. His long hair was mixed with the crushed flesh. , that person is absolutely impossible to be alive.

Seeing such a terrifying scene, Lu Qingjiu paused for breath, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing!"

The man paused, apparently hearing Lu Qingjiu's shout, he turned his head slowly, allowing Lu Qingjiu to see his face, which was no longer a human face at all, it was covered with dense With black hair, only vague facial features can be seen vaguely.The man let out a miserable scream when he saw Lu Qingjiu, and then the black hair grew longer and longer, and finally completely wrapped up the man covered in blood.

Plop!There was another sound of a heavy object falling into the water, but Lu Qingjiu woke up instantly as if he had been slapped in the face.Only then did he realize that he was still lying on the bench, and Bai Yuehu, who had finished washing the dishes, was standing beside him, looking at him expressionlessly.

"I seem to have a dream." Lu Qingjiu said vaguely.

"Yes." Bai Yuehu said, "You had a dream."

Lu Qingjiu said: "I dreamed that there was a dead person in the well in the backyard."

Bai Yuehu looked at him and said nothing.

Lu Qingjiu said: "Is there really?"

Bai Yuehu was silent for a moment, and asked instead: "Then why did you come back here?"

Lu Qingjiu frowned: "I just feel very tired in the city and want to come back."

Bai Yuehu said: "That's all?"

Lu Qingjiu shut his mouth. In fact, he didn't want to mention the reason why he came here, because it was too absurd, as if it was a joke to say it.

Lu Qingjiu didn't say anything, and Bai Yuehu didn't ask, he looked at the sky, said that it was going to rain, then turned and went back to the house.

Lu Qingjiu looked around the yard, and suddenly felt that the spring was biting cold.

He stood up from the chair and walked to the backyard, but saw a black well standing in the empty backyard. Seeing this, Lu Qingjiu nodded and went back to the house.

Sure enough, as Bai Yuehu said, the sky soon began to rain lightly.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, especially for farmers. Lu Qingjiu watched the rain moisten everything, and felt as if he had also participated in a little bit of Zen.

But Bai Yuehu, who was sitting next to him, obviously didn't think so, he stretched out his hand to Lu Qingjiu, and said, "Give me some melon seeds too."

Lu Qingjiu snorted, and divided the melon seeds into half of Bai Yuehu.

Bai Yuehu said: "You saw the yard just now, do you have any thoughts?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "The time is not up."

Bai Yuehu's eyes sank: "When are you going to wait?"

Lu Qingjiu: "Summer!"

Bai Yuehu: "So what if it's summer?" He was just about to say that the things in the well will come out no matter spring or summer, when Lu Qingjiu sighed: "You don't understand, you can only grow some watermelons in summer, and the grapes will grow." Kind, the yard is too small, so we can only grow these vines."

Bai Yuehu: "...Are you just thinking about dumping the yard?"

Lu Qingjiu was puzzled: "Otherwise?"

Bai Yuehu: "..." He continued to eat melon seeds in silence.

Lu Qingjiu propped his chin, spat the melon seeds into the trash can next to him, and sighed: "I'm just kidding, I'd better call the police first, there must be something in the well."

Bai Yuehu said: "Yes."

After a moment of silence between the two, Lu Qingjiu mustered up the courage to turn his head and look at Bai Yuehu: "I still have a question..."

"I'm a fox." Before Lu Qingjiu could ask the question, Bai Yuehu said very seriously, "It's the kind of monster you humans like the most!"

Lu Qingjiu: "..." He hasn't asked yet.

I don't know what Lu Qingjiu's expression caused Bai Yuehu to misunderstand. He stood up abruptly, turned his back to Lu Qingjiu and said, "I'm really a fox." sticking out from under his clothes.

The tail was covered with pure white fur, soft and fluffy, and looked very easy to touch. Lu Qingjiu's hand was a little itchy, but he didn't dare to stretch it out, he just said: "Oh, I see."

I don't know if it was Lu Qingjiu's illusion, but he felt that after he said this, Bai Yuehu was very subtly relieved, as if he was relieved of something.

Why did this fox show his identity so bluntly, isn't he afraid to scare himself?Lu Qingjiu felt a little lonely and at the same time felt a little strange. He always felt that Bai Yuehu's behavior was a little strange, as if... he was afraid that he would not believe that he was a fox.

Well, but he didn't have a reason to pretend to be a fox, did he?Lu Qingjiu explained this to himself.

Perhaps it was because the longing for the white fluffy tail in Lu Qingjiu's eyes was too obvious, after Bai Yuehu frowned and glanced at Lu Qingjiu, he said, "You can touch it."

Lu Qingjiu groaned and didn't react.

"You can touch it." Bai Yuehu repeated again, and those fluffy tails shook slightly.

As soon as Lu Qingjiu heard this, he immediately put his hand on it. After touching the furry tail, he even heard his own soul sigh happily. The big tail is fluffy and smooth, and feels like soft satin... Lu Qingjiu Sake licked hard, and after a while, he reluctantly withdrew his hand: "Thank you, Brother Bai." This was the first time in his life that he touched the fox's tail, and it might also be the last time.

Seeing Lu Qingjiu's face full of happiness, Bai Yuehu nodded, got up and went back to the house.

Lu Qingjiu didn't move. He had actually encountered these strange creatures many times, and they were too numerous to guard against.

As the days went by, he got used to it a little bit. If it was an ordinary person, he would be frightened to death if he met Bai Yuehu, who would blew himself up as soon as he came.

But to be honest, this is the first time Lu Qingjiu has seen a humanoid and sober elf like Bai Yuehu. Most of the things he saw before were things without self-awareness. The big tree of gossip...

After the dream just now, Lu Qingjiu was sure that there must be something dirty in his backyard, so he picked up his phone and called the police.Of course, he didn't say that he was dreaming, but that there seemed to be something in the well water, and he suspected that someone accidentally fell into it.

After hearing this, the police said they would come over as soon as possible and asked Lu Qingjiu to protect the scene.There is no police in the village, and the police have to drive here from the town, and it will probably be dark when they get here.

Lu Qingjiu went to the kitchen to get some flour, cracked a few eggs, baked a big egg pancake, cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge, picked two cucumbers, and prepared a simple dinner.

The three of them sat by the well and had dinner. Yin Xun was a little confused and said, "What are you doing? What are you doing guarding the mouth of the well? What's in the well?"

Lu Qingjiu: "There are ghosts."

Yin Xun took a bite of the cake and said vaguely: "If there is a ghost, you can't go to the police, right? Do they still care about this?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "There is always a reason for ghosts, what if the ghost's corpse is in the well."

Yin Xun: "..." He felt that the cake in his mouth seemed to have a different taste... He silently put down the cake in his hand.

Near ten o'clock, the siren sounded at the entrance of the village, and the siren drove all the way to the gate of Lu Qingjiu's old house, and then two policemen got out of the car.

"Did you call the police?" The young policeman knocked on the door of the old house.

"It's me." Lu Qingjiu said.

"You said someone fell into your well?" asked the policeman, "Are you sure?"

"I just called the police when I wasn't sure." Lu Qingjiu said, "I just heard something fell into the well."

The two police officers looked at each other, and the older one said, "Take us to see it first."

So the group went back to the backyard. The young policeman took a flashlight and took a picture inside, then frowned and muttered: "There really seems to be something floating in here."

The old policeman didn't speak. After careful observation, he took out a rope from his bag. There was an iron hook on the rope. He threw the rope into the well, stirred it vigorously in the water, and said, "It's hooked."

"Can you pull it up?" the little policeman asked.

"I'll try." The old policeman tried to use force, but the thing in the water seemed to be very heavy, and he couldn't hook it up no matter what, he shook his head, his expression became serious, "No, it's very heavy."

"It can't be a real person." The little policeman became a little nervous.

"I'll call the bureau and ask them to send some more people and equipment to check." The old policeman looked at Lu Qingjiu with a delicate expression, and said. "It might really be a person."

Facing the suspicious eyes of the police, Lu Qingjiu thought it was useless for you to look at me, this matter really has nothing to do with me.Of course, the police would not believe what he said, after all, he called the police saying that someone fell into the well.

The author has something to say: Bai Yuehu: I am really a fox.

Lu Qingjiu: Did you repeat it so many times because of a guilty conscience or something?

Bai Yuehu: No matter, I am a fox.
