Fantasy Farm

Chapter 72 Black Umbrella

After playing a few rounds of mahjong, it was almost time for lunch.Shaohao said that he had already prepared a box and invited several people to go.

Lu Qingjiu didn't refuse because he was very interested in what Shaohao and the others ate on weekdays.But Shaohao led them directly out of the bird park and back to the human world, then he greeted a few people to get into the car, and drove to a very stylish restaurant in the city center.

Lu Qingjiu was dumbfounded while sitting in the car: "Don't you eat at your house?"

Shaohao said: "I don't know how to cook, I seldom fire at home."

Lu Qingjiu was a little surprised: "Then you eat outside every day?" Although the food outside tastes good, eating it every day will make you tired.

Shaohao said: "It's not every day outside, most of the time. If it's troublesome, I eat it with the bird."

Lu Qingjiu: "What does that bird eat?"

Shaohao smiled: "Eat everything." He said, looking at Yin Xun meaningfully, making Yin Xun who was sitting next to him shrank his neck involuntarily, wanting to reduce his sense of existence, Shaohao Hao withdrew his eyes and continued, "For example, ripe fruit, or some small mammals."

Lu Qingjiu: "Eat it raw?"

Shaohao nodded.

Lu Qingjiu sighed in his heart that this Baidi was too hardcore.

When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Shaohao parked the car and led them in. He was obviously a frequent visitor here, and even the waiter at the gate greeted him first by calling him Mr. Bai.

This place is called Wanniao Pavilion, Lu Qingjiu has never been to it, but I heard that it is a membership-only shop, ordinary people want to eat but can't eat it, so they have to be introduced by insiders.According to Shaohao's identity, Lu Qingjiu suspects that the owner of this shop is Shaohao himself.

The dishes were pre-ordered, and the dishes started to be served after several people sat down, but Shaohao's expression was a little strange just as he sat down, Lu Qingjiu was about to ask a question, when he saw him stand up, and hurriedly said: "I'll go to the Toilet." After speaking, he turned around and left, looking at the back with a somewhat embarrassed look.

At first, Lu Qingjiu thought that Shaohao was just trying to solve his physical problems, but who knew that in the next hour, he would stand up again after sitting on the bench for less than 2 minutes, and his face was getting greener and greener. Back in the box.Looking at this scene, Lu Qingjiu found it inexplicably familiar, so he cast his suspicious eyes on Yin Xun, who looked very guilty.

"What did you guys do just now?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

Yin Xun said: "No... I didn't do anything."

Lu Qingjiu: "Then why did he have diarrhea?"

Yin Xun pretended to be calm: "Maybe it's because he is weak."

If Lu Qingjiu believed it, he would be a ghost. He observed his friend's expression to confirm that he was hiding something: "Tell me honestly, when you went out with Shaohao just now, you couldn't have cooked Give it to him?" He was deeply touched by Yin Xun's craftsmanship, and there was no ambiguity at all after eating for a whole day.It's also fortunate that the toilets in this place are toilets, otherwise I would feel that my legs could be amputated after doing this.

"No." Yin Xun said, "Why should I cook for him when I have nothing to do?"

Lu Qingjiu: "Really not?"

Yin Xun said: "No." He put his eyes on the rich dishes in front of him, and swallowed.

Lu Qingjiu saw that Yin Xun answered so resolutely, so he didn't continue to ask. He obviously didn't expect that Yin Xun really didn't make food for Shaohao, he just cowardly cut himself a piece and gave it a taste.Of course, with such a big piece, the efficiency is also exceptionally good, Shaohao may have to live in the toilet for a few days.

Shaohao lives in the toilet, but it doesn't affect their desire for delicious food at all. I have to say that the taste of these dishes is really worthy of the expensive price. Each process is the best choice after careful polishing. Take the boiled cabbage in front of you as an example. The soup is clear and delicious, and the cabbage is sweet and sweet.Although Lu Qingjiu knew the general method of this dish, he never wanted to try it because it was too cumbersome. Just this small bowl of clear soup base had to go through at least eight or nine complicated processes and cooking before it was made.

Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun ate very happily, completely forgetting about the hosts who treated them.Lu Qingjiu still had a little bit of conscience left, he went to the toilet when he was about to eat, and asked Shaohao thoughtfully if he needed to send some more paper in.

Shaohao gritted his teeth and said no thanks.

"Did you eat something wrong?" Lu Qingjiu couldn't help feeling sorry for him when he saw his tragic situation, "Do you need me to buy some medicine for you?"

"No need." Shaohao said, "Ordinary medicine has no effect on me."

Lu Qingjiu: "Oh...then we've almost eaten, look..."

Shaohao: "...the order has already been bought."

Lu Qingjiu: "That's great, thank you for your hospitality."

Shaohao: "..." He knew that he had been thinking about it for so long, why did Lu Qingjiu suddenly come to ask about the situation, it turned out that he had almost eaten, and was worried that he didn't pay the bill.Sitting on the toilet, Shaohao took a deep breath, and was about to stand up and go out, but just as he opened the door, he felt his stomach churning again, and was forced to sit back again.He supported his knees with his hands in despair, and carefully recalled what he ate today, and finally inexplicably remembered the soft touch of Yin Xun's fingers...could it be...

Shaohao covered his face and let out a long sigh.

Yin Xun, who was sitting in front of the dining table and eating with a round stomach, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and muttered whether he had a cold.

"The mountain god still catches a cold?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

"That's not true." Yin Xun said, "To tell you the truth, I don't think it's any different from ordinary people except that I can eat it."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." Put away your proud little expression, is being eaten something to be proud of? !

Although Shaohao was still trapped in the toilet and couldn't get out, he still treated them to such an expensive meal after all.The three of them made up their minds together, and then went into the toilet together to say goodbye to Shaohao.

"Mr. Bai, we are going back." Lu Qingjiu said, "Come and play more next time when you have time."

Shaohao's voice sounded muffled through the bathroom door: "Okay."

Yin Xun followed Lu Qingjiu and whispered, "Welcome to play."

Shaohao: "Certainly come." He uttered these three words abruptly, with the taste of gnashing his teeth, and Yin Xun couldn't help shrinking his neck when he heard it.

The three of them ate and drank enough and left satisfied, then took a taxi back to Shaohao's villa, and drove their own minivan back home happily.It's just that Shaohao's butler was a little confused, obviously he didn't understand why the guest came back but the master disappeared.

After seeing the beautiful bird garden and having another big meal, Lu Qingjiu was in a very good mood. After taking a nap in the afternoon, he got up from the bed and planned to distribute some noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns and flower rolls for dinner.But when checking the materials, Lu Qingjiu found that the shallots at home were used up.

Bai Yuehu was also taking a nap in the courtyard at the moment, Lu Qingjiu thought that the land wasn't far away anyway, so he didn't bother him, and planned to go to the field to pick it by himself.

Shallots are a common ingredient and can be used in any dish, so they are consumed quickly. Fortunately, they grow a lot of them at home. When you want to eat them, you can just grab them with scissors and cut them off. They are very fresh.

Walking on the road, Lu Qingjiu thought about transplanting shallots in the yard like leeks in the future, it would be more convenient to pick them.

Today the weather is still very good, sunny.This kind of weather is very comfortable for ordinary people, but it is not a good thing for farmers who depend on the weather for their food. There is too little rain, the crops in the field grow slowly, and they have to carry water for irrigation every day, otherwise will affect the harvest.

It's been a few months since spring, and it's only rained three or four times. If it wasn't for Bai Yuehu at home, Lu Qingjiu might have to worry about the vegetables in the field.The irrigation water here is drawn from a distant reservoir. If the water level in the reservoir is too low, they will have to find another source of water. However, there is only one small stream in the village of Shuifu, and they don't know how to get it.Lu Qingjiu had never planted his own land before, and he didn't understand these things. He didn't understand the importance of spring rain to the farmers until he heard the old Li's family next door sigh.

Only when Lu Qingjiu came back to his senses did he realize that he had thought too far. He had already walked into the field and saw a row of lovely-looking little green onions.

This green onion is much more fragrant than the onions sold in the market, especially when used to make tofu mixed with shallots. The tofu is also ordered at home. The bean fragrance is overflowing. After cutting into pieces, it is served cold with shallots and sprinkled with sesame oil. Put some salt, refreshing and delicious.

Lu Qingjiu took out the scissors, bent down and cut a handful of shallots, picked a ripe pumpkin, pulled out two nests of small cabbage, picked some bright red peppers, put them all into the bamboo basket he was carrying, and then Started to walk back slowly.

Every time he came to the field, Lu Qingjiu would be amazed by Bai Yuehu's talent in farming. These neat green vegetable seedlings, with red peppers and yellow pumpkins inside, are both neat and beautiful. At first glance, they look like It looks like a flower garden.

The pumpkins in their house are a bit big, so Lu Qingjiu deliberately chose a small one, such a pumpkin can be eaten for two meals, and if you have time in the afternoon, you can also make some pumpkin pies filled with red bean paste to satisfy your cravings.

Lu Qingjiu was walking forward, but he noticed a black object in the middle of the road. After looking carefully, he found that it was a black umbrella, lying quietly on the side of the road.

whose umbrella?Lu Qingjiu stopped, and the umbrella was right in front of him, and he could pick it up just by bending over.The umbrella looks very ordinary, it is the kind of black umbrella that can be bought in the market.Lu Qingjiu originally planned to pick it up casually and ask if someone lost it in the village, but before he stretched out his hand, he noticed a detail on the umbrella.

This black umbrella is wet, and there are still traces of rain on the surface of the umbrella. It has not rained in the water mansion for almost a week, so who would go out with such a black umbrella?Lu Qingjiu had a bad premonition, he thought of Concubine Yu, so he slowly took a step back, avoiding the very weird-looking umbrella in front of him from the side.

After walking a certain distance, Lu Qingjiu looked behind him, but saw that the umbrella was still obediently lying on the spot, as if there was no reaction at all. He was relieved in his heart, and was wondering if he was too much because he had seen too many of these things. Sensitive, I saw the black umbrella stand up slowly from the ground, as if someone was supporting it, and then with a sound of swiping, the black umbrella opened directly, and Lu Qingjiu clearly saw that there was actually something inside the black umbrella. There were countless eyeballs, blood-red nerves hanging from these eyeballs, and the black pupils looked directly at Lu Qingjiu.

"Ah!!" Lu Qingjiu cried out in shock from this scene, he reacted very quickly, threw the vegetable basket, turned around and ran away.

There was a strange sound behind him. Lu Qingjiu turned his head to look, only to realize that the black umbrella was rolling towards him like a wheel. The nerves of those eyeballs were stuck inside the black umbrella, and as the black umbrella rolled, A circle is also formed.

"Bai Yuehu, Bai Yuehu! Help, help!" Facing the desire to survive, Lu Qingjiu rushed faster than a rabbit. Fortunately, their home was very close to home, and Lu Qingjiu sprinted [-] meters to the door of the house. Panting heavily, he rushed into the yard, and his heart was instantly relieved after seeing Bai Yuehu.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Qingjiu's out of breath appearance, Bai Yuehu asked.

"I saw an umbrella on the side of the road—" Lu Qingjiu said with difficulty, "The umbrella is full of eyeballs, and they chased after me."

Bai Yuehu said: "Eyeball?" He thought for a moment, seemed to think of something, slightly frowned, "Where is it?"

Lu Qingjiu: "It's just outside."

Bai Yuehu got up and walked to the door, but saw nothing, the empty country road did not have the black umbrella and eyeballs that Lu Qingjiu was talking about.

Lu Qingjiu stood behind Bai Yuehu, tilted his head: "Why are you missing?"

Bai Yuehu turned his head and glanced at Lu Qingjiu: "Would you like to take a look?"

Lu Qingjiu: "Go... have a look, the vegetables I just picked are still on the way."

Bai Yuehu stepped out of the courtyard, but what puzzled Lu Qingjiu was that the black umbrella that had been chasing him just now disappeared without a trace, and disappeared together with the vegetable basket he left on the side of the road.

"It's gone." Lu Qingjiu said, "What is that?"

Bai Yuehu shook his head: "I don't know."

Lu Qingjiu: "Why is he chasing me?"

Bai Yuehu sighed: "Chasing you will never be a good thing."

That's right, looking at the terrifying appearance of that umbrella, it doesn't look like a good thing no matter what. Although the umbrella is gone now, Lu Qingjiu still has lingering fears in his heart.

Bai Yuehu said: "Go back to the yard, I'm here to pick vegetables, what do I need?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "I'd better go back with you." Don't see that thing again on the way back.

After picking the vegetables they wanted again, the two walked back, Lu Qingjiu kept paying attention to the surroundings, but obviously that thing didn't want to meet Bai Yuehu, until entering the yard, Lu Qingjiu didn't see that thing again.

"Don't go out these few days." After arriving home, Bai Yuehu told Lu Qingjiu.

Lu Qingjiu nodded, as he had complied with Bai Yuehu's instructions. He was not as powerful as Bai Yuehu. If he really encountered something strange, running was the only way to survive.

In the afternoon, Yin Xun also heard about what happened to Lu Qingjiu, and he was also a little worried, but he still comforted Lu Qingjiu, saying that with Bai Yuehu around, there must be no problem.

Lu Qingjiu smiled and said: "I know, I'm just curious about what it is, and what the eyeballs are inside."

Yin Xundao: "Anyway, it must not taste good."

When Bai Yuehu heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Lu Qingjiu steamed the pumpkin he brought back earlier, and took out the salted duck eggs marinated in winter, planning to make pumpkin egg yolk crisps.Yin Xun helped knead the dough by the side, kneading the pumpkin and flour together.The method of meringue is more complicated. The number of times of folding and the heat of the dough are the key. This is the first time for Lu Qingjiu to make it. The skin is a little thicker, but fortunately it is crisp enough.The oil in the egg yolk overflows after one bite, and it is served with sweet bean paste, which tastes fresh and salty.

Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu have always been very enthusiastic about snacks, the three of them ate the sweet food, and soon forgot the unpleasantness of the morning.

Lu Qingjiu originally planned to go to the town tomorrow to buy some lemons and passion fruit to make lemon chicken feet, but because of what happened just now, he had to delay, so he told Bai Yuehu about it, Bai Yuehu thought about it, and then Said that he went to the town to help Lu Qingjiu buy it, and Lu Qingjiu would just stay at home.

Lu Qingjiu was still very relieved of Bai Yuehu, watching him get into the pickup truck before returning to the yard.

Yin Xun had just eaten several egg yolk shortbreads, and now he was sitting in the yard resting, Lu Qingjiu looked up at the sky, and found that the sunny sky in the morning was now covered with black clouds, and it seemed that it was going to rain .

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and this is a heavy rain that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time.

Lu Qingjiu put away the things that were drying in the yard. Taking advantage of the good spring weather, he bought some things like cowpea kelp, and planned to dry them and store them. As long as these things are well preserved, they can be stored for a long time. It is also a good material for stewing soup.

Tangerines are also ripe this season, Lu Qingjiu bought some to eat at home, after eating the peels are also dried, and can be used to make tangerine peels.Tangerine peel can be soaked in water or used as a spice. Putting a little in the food can remove most of the fishy smell and greasy.

After Lu Qingjiu had almost put away his things, it began to rain.

Different from the intense rain in summer, the spring rain is as soft as silk, and even the sound is gentle, falling slowly on the ground with a rustling sound.

The air began to smell of mud. Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun sat at home, chatting and watching the rain outside.

"Did Bai Yuehu not bring an umbrella?" Lu Qingjiu remembered something.

"Didn't he need an umbrella?" Yin Xun said.

"No way." Lu Qingjiu said, "He's shopping in the town, so he can't block the rainwater like before." If humans saw this, then Bai Yuehu might have to be surrounded.

"Hey, that's right." Yin Xun didn't think about this, and reached out to touch his head, "But it's raining lightly, so it doesn't matter if you get wet."

Lu Qingjiu didn't speak, just got up and went to the bathroom to get a dry towel, put it on the table, thinking that Bai Yuehu was back, so he directly wiped his hair.

The rain gradually became heavier, the dry land turned into a wet color, and puddles formed in the low-lying places.Lu Qingjiu suddenly remembered something: "Hey, did the beehives in the backyard forget to cover them with tarpaulins?" In order to clean them up, he took off the tarpaulins on the beehives and washed them, but he forgot to hang them back up. It's raining now. Wooden hives get wet easily.

"I'll go." Yin Xun said, "Is the oilcloth in the kitchen?"

"En." Lu Qingjiu said, "By the way, take out a grid of honey, and use it for cake tomorrow."

Yin Xun nodded, touched the umbrella and went out.Lu Qingjiu was still wondering if there was anything else he forgot to take back, but he heard Yin Xun's miserable scream from the backyard.

Lu Qingjiu was startled, and shouted: "Yin Xun!" He didn't even have time to open the umbrella, and rushed directly to the backyard. When rushing over, he picked up the wooden stick placed in the corner as a self-defense weapon.

"Ahhh—" Yin Xun was still screaming miserably.

When Lu Qingjiu saw Yin Xun in the backyard, he took a deep breath, and saw that Yin Xun's head was actually wrapped by a black umbrella. The umbrella seemed to be alive, covering Yin Xun's body. His head was completely wrapped in it, and no matter how hard Yin Xun struggled, he couldn't break free from it.

Lu Qingjiu put down the wooden stick and started to help Yin Xun tear the black umbrella, but no matter how hard he tried, the black umbrella was firmly stuck to Yin Xun's head. I have no strength.

Lu Qingjiu was so anxious that he was going crazy. He rushed to the kitchen to get the scissors, but found that the material of the umbrella couldn't be pierced with scissors.

"Yin Xun, Yin Xun, hold on, I'll call Bai Yuehu right away, just hold on." Lu Qingjiu's face was covered with water, and he didn't know if it was rain or sweat.

"Wait." Yin Xun's muffled voice came from inside the umbrella, "I found that this thing doesn't seem to affect me at all."

Lu Qingjiu: "...Huh?"

Yin Xun said: "Except that I can't see." He wanted to scratch his head reflexively, but he touched the surface of the black umbrella, "Anyway, I don't need to breathe, so I don't think there's anything wrong with being wrapped like this."

Lu Qingjiu: "... Are you really okay?"

Yin Xun stood up from the ground: "It's really nothing."

Lu Qingjiu: "But you can't see it, can you?"

Yin Xun: "I'm a mountain god anyway. In fact, as long as I think, I can see without eyes. It's just that I don't like to use this ability. After all, I always see things that I shouldn't see."

Lu Qingjiu: "Is there any other feeling?"

Yin Xun: "... Feeling? I don't feel much." It's not painful.

Lu Qingjiu took a deep breath: "Then why are you fucking screaming like a chicken that has been killed?"

Yin Xun said embarrassingly: "Isn't this frightened?" He became confident again, "If you were suddenly hugged by such a thing, wouldn't you scream?"

Lu Qingjiu thought to himself that I don't have much chance to scream, anyway, I will be suffocated to death within 2 minutes at most.

Yin Xun said: "Then what should we do now? Just let it be on my head?"

Lu Qingjiu sighed: "Let's make do with it. When Bai Yuehu comes back, let him get it for you."

Yin Xun said: "Okay then, it's still raining, you go in first, I'll come when I cover the oilcloth."

Lu Qingjiu said: "No, let's go in together." His heart really couldn't be stimulated anymore.

Yin Xun quickly covered the tarpaulin, proving that he could indeed see it, and only after finishing the hive did he enter the house with Lu Qingjiu.Lu Qingjiu picked up the towel and wiped his face, then glanced at Yin Xun whose head had turned into an umbrella.

Yin Xun: "What do you see me doing? Is this umbrella pretty?"

Lu Qingjiu: "..." My friend, why is your focus always so strange.

After Bai Yuehu finished shopping, his expression froze as soon as he entered the house. He looked at Lu Qingjiu, and then at the person next to Lu Qingjiu with an umbrella over his head.

Lu Qingjiu seemed to know what Bai Yuehu was thinking, and made an introduction: "This is Yin Xun."

Bai Yuehu: "...What kind of shape is this? You need to open an umbrella if your brain is flooded?"

Lu Qingjiu: "..."

Yin Xun: "..."

Bai Yuehu, you are really talented.

The author has something to say: Yin Xun: I have paid too much for this family.

Lu Qingjiu silently patted his shoulder: Thank you for your hard work.

Bai Yuehu:? ? ?What are you doing at home when I go out?
