Fantasy Farm

If June is just a hot prelude, then as soon as July arrives, the temperature will rush to 37-[-].

When Lu Qingjiu woke up, he saw Bai Yuehu, who always liked to sleep with him, lying beside him, wearing a sleeping T-shirt rolled up half way, exposing Bai Shengsheng's belly.Bai Yuehu's belly wasn't soft to the touch, and didn't have much fat, it felt very average, not as good as Lu Qingjiu's own.

Hearing the sound of Lu Qingjiu getting up, Bai Yuehu yawned and got up from the bed in a daze. He kissed Lu Qingjiu's chin naturally, and then the two went to wash up.

It was too early in the morning, and the animals in the yard became more active. Before the sun rose, Bai Yuehu went to the field, cleaned up the vegetables that needed to be cleaned up, and poured enough water.Lu Qingjiu cooked a sumptuous breakfast. As the weather got hotter, the food he ate became more refreshing.He cut the stalks of lettuce into thin shreds, then scooped them up with hot water, then added chili sesame oil and other condiments, and mixed them coldly.The dough fermented last night is ready to use today, and the filling was prepared last night, which is pork and cabbage stuffing, and some lotus root is added to it to increase the taste.

Then wrap the stuffing into the fermented noodles, bake them with an electric baking pan, and the hot biscuits are just out of the oven.Lu Qingjiu also cooked a big pot of mung bean porridge and cooked five salted duck eggs. He originally planned to make some tea eggs, but he was running out of time, so he thought about making it at noon.

Bai Yuehu waited for the vegetables in the field, and brought a basket of vegetables back to the yard by the way. There was less rain this year, and the vegetables didn't grow as gratifyingly as last year, but they didn't look too bad.Both the eggplant and the tomato are ripe. Needless to say, the tomato tastes just as delicious as last year's. It is moist and juicy and can be eaten as a fruit. The eggplant is also quite big. Lu Qingjiu specially told Bai Yuehu to pick it. Use the leftover filling from the pie to make some eggplants to eat.

When Yin Xun arrived, breakfast had just been prepared, and several people sat down in front of the table and began to feast on it.

There are enough pies and porridge, as well as oily salted duck eggs, which can relieve the heat and relieve the greasiness.The pie tasted very good this time, and the added diced lotus root is the key. When you bite into the thin skin, you get hot gravy. Once you bite down, the skin is crispy and the filling is soft. The diced lotus root inside Perfectly neutralizes the greasiness of pork.There is also cold shredded lettuce, which is spicy and crisp, which is extra appetizing.Lu Qingjiu ate two cakes and drank two bowls of porridge, and finally he was full. Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu also looked satisfied.

After breakfast, Yin Xun said that the hawthorns in the west of the village were ripe, and they could pick some.

"Isn't that hawthorn planted by Aunt Liu's family?" Lu Qingjiu remembered this.

"Yes." Yin Xun said, "But isn't Aunt Liu dead..."

Lu Qingjiu: "...but you're dead too."

Yin Xun: "..." It seems to be right.

Lu Qingjiu looked at Bai Yuehu and said, "What's the situation with the people in the village?"

Bai Yuehu took a sip of tea to moisten his mouth: "They don't know that they are dead, and they still live like ordinary people."

Lu Qingjiu said: "In the eyes of outsiders, are they still alive?"

Bai Yuehu said: "Yes."

Lu Qingjiu thought about it and thought it was right, because at least in the eyes of Hu Shu and Pang Ziqi, Shuifu Village is a living village, and sometimes the villagers of Shuifu Village will communicate with the outside world to buy and sell goods. The outside world did not find anything unusual in Shuifu Village.

Xiao Hua, who was lying beside her, asked, "Will Li Xiaoyu go to junior high school?"

Bai Yuehu glanced at Xiao Hua: "That depends on whether he can pass the exam."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingjiu saw that Xiaohua's eyes were burning with flames. He said: "I know, I will definitely work hard to let Li Xiaoyu go to college. Although he is dead, he has a dream!"

Lu Qingjiu: "..." All right.

Yin Xun didn't care about the future and education of the villagers at all. He blinked and asked, "Then let's pick hawthorns?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "Go!" The hawthorn at home is almost finished, this sweet and sour thing is a holy food for relieving summer heat, and it is best to have fresh ones.But you can't just pick it like this, you have to change it...

So after lunch, Lu Qingjiu went to find Yin Xun's neighbor, Aunt Liu, and discussed with her, saying that he would buy the hawthorn at the market price.

Aunt Liu originally wanted to decline, saying that it was for Lu Qingjiu to eat, but when she heard that the quantity he wanted was quite large, she finally agreed.

After getting Aunt Liu's permission, Lu Qingjiu's family happily picked hawthorns.

This hawthorn tree is quite good. There are clusters of bright red fruits hanging on the lush branches and leaves. It is different from the dried hawthorn. The fresh hawthorn has a particularly sour taste. Lu Qingjiu tasted one, and his whole face wrinkled together.He conveniently stuffed one into Bai Yuehu's mouth, and Bai Yuehu's expression remained unchanged.

"Isn't it sour?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

"It's okay." Bai Yuehu replied.

After Lu Qingjiu heard the words, he didn't think much about continuing to pick the fruit, while Bai Yuehu silently let go of the hand that was holding the tree trunk, leaving a few obvious finger marks on the originally smooth tree trunk.Hmph, the dragon is not afraid of sourness, neither sour orange nor sour hawthorn can defeat him.

Yin Xun scurried up and down the tree, like a monkey, and when he plucked a full basket, he sent it down to Lu Qingjiu, and Lu Qingjiu handed an empty basket up.

Lu Qingjiu intends to marinate most of these hawthorns and use them to soak in water to drink, and the rest can be used to make hawthorn jelly and candied haws. Speaking of candied haws, have Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun eaten this kind of snack? Lu Qingjiu remembers that there is no such thing in the town. Sell ​​it, and even if it is sold, the two of them have no money to buy it...

Thinking of this, Lu Qingjiu planned to buy some other fruits to make together.

After picking several baskets full of hawthorns and paying Aunt Liu for the hawthorns, the three of them went home happily. After returning home, Lu Qingjiu asked them to wash out the hawthorns first, and then removed the pits inside.This is a big project, but it's still early, so there's no rush.

Lu Qingjiu fed Niu Niu some chocolate, then squeezed half a bucket of milk. He planned to make some popsicles to cool off the heat. After boiling the milk, he added sugar and honey into it, and then poured the milk into a special mold for popsicles. Put in the freezer.

The weather was so hot that even Lu Qingjiu was sweating all over after doing these things. He went to wash his face and planned to make dinner.

We had braised beef for lunch, and Lu Qingjiu decided to make it simpler for dinner, so he fried a few plates of eggplant boxes, made garlic-paste white meat and cold chicken, and fried a bitter gourd. There are also fresh lettuce leaves and poached eggs, which is very refreshing.

Everyone was a bit hungry after being busy all afternoon, Lu Qingjiu talked about the noodles and said that he was going to the city tomorrow, and asked if they had anything to bring.

"Why are you going to the city when it's so hot?" Yin Xun chewed on the tender chicken.

"Go buy some fruit." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'll make candied haws for you, have you ever eaten it?"

"No." Yin Xun gave a sad answer.

Bai Yuehu shook his head, and added after a moment's pause: "But I saw others eat it."

Hearing this, Lu Qingjiu almost wanted to cover his face, thinking that you might as well not add it, this addition sounds even more sad.

After dinner in the evening, Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun washed the dishes, while Lu Qingjiu put the hawthorn peeled in the afternoon into the pot and boiled it together with sugar, making a sweet and sour hawthorn sauce.This hawthorn sauce is perfect for summer, or put it in water and put it in the refrigerator to freeze into popsicles.

After doing this, it was getting late, Lu Qingjiu took a shower and hid in the air-conditioned room.Because of Zhu Rong's advice before, Lu Qingjiu didn't dare to turn on the air conditioner all day long, and even drank beer at room temperature when he was eating skewers.For people with a hot body, not being able to eat ice in summer is simply the most terrible torture. Fortunately, Lu Qingjiu has a cold body, so he won't be affected too much if he doesn't eat it. Of course, he still misses it occasionally.

In the sufficient air-conditioning, Lu Qingjiu, who was tired all day, fell asleep with his pillow on Bai Yuehu's arm. He has completely adapted to the slow-paced rural life, and he has no thought of returning to the city. Besides, there are still needs here. His people just don't know why his grandfather has repeatedly reiterated that he wants him to leave here.

The next day, Lu Qingjiu went to the city as planned, planning to buy some fruits that he didn't grow at home to make candied haws.The most primitive candied haws are made of hawthorn, but in recent years, living standards have improved and the types have become more diverse. Fruits such as strawberries, grapes, and kiwi are all delicious.Lu Qingjiu's favorite is candied haws made from strawberries. Strawberries are a bit sour at first, but after being coated with a layer of crunchy sugar, they are both sour and sweet. One bite at a time is most suitable for amusing children.

Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun didn't come along today. Lu Qingjiu assigned them a task to get rid of the grass in the yard. As the weather got hotter, the weeds in the yard became more and more lush, especially near the ancient well. The nearby location is almost overgrown with weeds.

After buying fruits such as strawberries and grapes in the supermarket, Lu Qingjiu also brought a box of mangoes and various snacks, thinking of replenishing childhood memories for Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun.It's just that when he was shopping, he felt that there was something wrong with the surrounding atmosphere. After looking around carefully, he couldn't find anything wrong.

Lu Qingjiu felt a little vigilant in his heart, and quickly left the supermarket to leave here, but who knew that when he was about three or four meters away from the truck, he noticed a strangely dressed man standing next to the truck. woman.It was originally a hot summer day, but she was wearing a thick down jacket, her long hair was coiled on top of her head with silver ornaments, and she wore exaggerated earrings on her ears. Her gaze fell on Lu Qingjiu, as if she was estimating something.

This person is obviously not an ordinary person. If a normal person was wearing this down jacket, he would probably have passed out from heatstroke within half an hour, but looking at her, she didn't sweat a single drop, and there was still a weird smile on her lips.

Lu Qingjiu's footsteps stopped, and instead of walking in the direction of the truck, he turned around immediately, intending to leave the sparsely populated parking lot, but who knew that he had just turned around when hurried footsteps came from behind him.

"Wait." The woman called out, "Don't go."

How could Lu Qingjiu listen to her? Hearing these words, he didn't stop, but ran away, but he didn't run two steps before a strong force came from behind, pushing him directly.All the things in Lu Qingjiu's hands were scattered on the ground, he held on to the wall next to him and managed to stabilize himself without falling.

He turned his head and saw a woman standing not far from him, she said, "Don't go..."

Lu Qingjiu knew that he was not her opponent, so he could only stagger back a few steps, and said, "What do you want?"

The woman said: "How to get to the underworld?"

Lu Qingjiu: "..." He knew it.

Seeing that Lu Qingjiu didn't answer, the woman became a little impatient, and asked again in a calm voice: "I asked you how to get to the underworld?"

Lu Qingjiu gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know."

The woman said, "Don't you know? Aren't you from the underworld?"

While talking to her, Lu Qingjiu observed the surrounding situation. There was no one in the garage just now. At this moment, there was a light ding-dong sound from the elevator. It seemed that someone had come down. Lu Qingjiu said: "You go up from there. , just turn a corner." He casually pointed to the escape route.

The woman's face darkened when she heard the words, she said: "You lied to me."

Lu Qingjiu: "Huh?" Was it exposed just like that?

"That's where I came down from," said the woman.

Lu Qingjiu showed embarrassment, but at this moment, a human figure came around the corner, who seemed to be driving from the supermarket. Lu Qingjiu turned around and ran away when he saw this. Didn't even dare to look back.

He rushed directly to the elevator in one breath, before Lu Qingjiu had time to react, he slapped the up button of the elevator vigorously, but he was unlucky, he just missed a step, and the elevator door closed in front of him helplessly.When Lu Qingjiu heard the footsteps coming from behind, he broke out in a cold sweat abruptly. Just when he was about to run towards the stairs, his hands pressed heavily on his shoulders.

Lu Qingjiu turned his head stiffly, and saw the person behind him, who seemed to have come down from the elevator, with some surprise on his face, he said, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "Run!"

"What?" Before the man could finish speaking, a hand passed through his chest and pressed on Lu Qingjiu's arm.

Lu Qingjiu looked dumbfounded, he wanted to run, but was grabbed tightly by two hands, unable to move no matter what.But he quickly noticed that the person in front of him was obviously not human, because after being pierced by a hand on his chest, he neither bled nor fell down, and had no reaction other than frowning.

"What are you doing?" The man in front of him turned his head and complained to the woman behind him in dissatisfaction, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the car obediently?"

The woman snorted coldly: "How long have you been there?"

The man said, "I'm here to buy something." He picked up the plastic bag on the handle, and then pouted at the stunned Lu Qingjiu, "What are you scaring people about?"

"I just wanted to ask for directions," the woman said.

The man said, "Why did you ask?"

The woman said, "I asked the underworld how to get there."

The man had a painful face, he took a few deep breaths, managed to control his emotions, and then said helplessly in his tone, "Okay...can you take your hands away from my chest first?"

The woman snorted again: "I'll take it back, so don't let him go."

The man said: "Even if you let go, don't scare ordinary people."

Only then did the woman let go, and after she retracted her hand, Lu Qingjiu saw a big empty hole through the man's torn T-shirt.This man actually didn't have a chest part, the entire chest was filled with empty holes.

Lu Qingjiu widened his eyes and blurted out: "You have no breasts?!"

The man said: "Yes, she didn't either."

The woman said angrily, "Who says I have no breasts? I'm not Fangfeng."

The man said: "Anyway, I didn't see that you have breasts."

Only then did the woman realize that she had been molested, and she raised her eyebrows angrily. She had to say that she looked pretty pretty when she got closer. If it wasn't for her strange dress, it wouldn't be too difficult to just ask for directions.

When Lu Qingjiu heard the name Fangfeng, he immediately thought of something, and he said, "You are... from the Guanxiong Kingdom?" The Guanxiong Kingdom is a race in the Shan Hai Jing, and the biggest characteristic is that there is a big hole in the chest.

The man was taken aback, he didn't expect Lu Qingjiu to recognize his identity, he was surprised, but also a little surprised: "You also went to the meeting?"

Lu Qingjiu: "Huh?" What meeting?

The man frowned and looked at Lu Qingjiu: "Are you human?"

Just as Lu Qingjiu wanted to say that he is of course human, the woman behind the man answered, "Of course he is not."

The man said: "Aren't you?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "Brother, can you let go first? I think my shoulder is going to be broken by you."

He originally thought that the man would refuse, but he politely said sorry, and let go of Lu Qingjiu. It really didn't look like he was malicious.Lu Qingjiu rubbed his painful shoulder from being caught, and carefully observed the man and the woman. The man was dressed in the same way as a human being. If it weren't for the big empty hole in his chest, no one would think that he was not a human being. A woman But it was completely out of place with the surroundings, especially the thick down jacket.

"I'm just passing by, and I don't know where you guys are going." Lu Qingjiu said, "Can I go now?"

The man said: "Oh...so that's the case, then you didn't go to the meeting?"

Lu Qingjiu shook his head, expressing that he didn't know what the meeting the man was talking about.Hearing this, the man pondered for a moment and said, "Then do you know how to go to hell?"

When Lu Qingjiu heard that he mentioned the underworld again, he immediately became vigilant: "What the underworld, I am a human being, I can only live in the human world, and definitely cannot go to the underworld."

The man was silent for a moment, and said helplessly, "It's not that underworld, but is there a place called Yinjian nearby..."

He also explained how to write the word Yinjian.

Lu Qingjiu immediately understood: "You mean the Yinjian building? It's nearby... What are you doing there?" Yinjian is an office building built by the government, and it is quite famous in the local area. Government agencies have set up offices there, and he didn't expect the woman to ask about this place.

"Oh, we have something to do there." The man said, "My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Rumeng. She... you can call her a girl."

The woman frowned when she heard the words, as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw Wang Rumeng's expression, she stopped again.

Lu Qingjiu kept his eyes open and didn't dare to say his name, he said: "Where are you going, let me tell you." He was about to describe in detail, but Wang Rumeng pressed Lu Qingjiu's shoulder again , he said, "Excuse me bro, can you please take us there? You came here by car?"

Lu Qingjiu deliberately showed embarrassment.

Wang Rumeng said: "Look at my clothes are also torn. People should not be frightened when they see them, and she can't see people like this. Please trouble you." Although his words were very gentle, his tone was not discussion And the hand holding Lu Qingjiu didn't intend to relax at all, it seemed that he didn't intend to let Lu Qingjiu go.

Seeing this, the woman said, "He has the breath of a dragon on him."

Wang Rumeng's expression changed slightly when he heard the words: "Is he a dragon?"

The woman shook her head: "Have you ever seen a dragon with such weak combat power? He should not be a dragon, but he has lived with a dragon for a long time."

This time, Wang Rumeng looked at Lu Qingjiu even more strangely. Lu Qingjiu couldn't escape even if he caught him, so he could only say, "Have you finished watching?"

"It's over." Wang Rumeng said, "Do you know dragons?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "What does it matter if you know each other or not?"

Wang Rumeng smiled: "If you know me, please be more polite to you. After all, I don't want to mess with them..."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Okay, I know you, can you let me go?"

But Wang Rumeng shook his head: "No, we won't be able to find our way if we let you go, brother, help people to the end, send us there first."

Lu Qingjiu knew that he would not let go, so he could only agree, so the three of them walked towards Lu Qingjiu's pickup truck, but within two steps, there was a strong smell of burning, as if something was burnt. have to.Before Lu Qingjiu could smell the smell, Wang Rumeng, who was standing next to him, changed his face drastically, and said, "No!" Then he rushed to the side and began to search for the black bag in his hand.This bag was held in his hand when he got off the elevator, it seemed to hold a lot of things, it was so big and bulging.Lu Qingjiu quickly found the source of the fire. He watched in astonishment as puffs of black smoke began to rise from the girl on his left, and red flames began to scurry around. The girl rolled on the ground, but the girl looked at Lu Qingjiu indifferently. The two eyes met for a moment, and the girl threatened: "What are you looking at, I haven't seen people on fire."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." Sorry, he really didn't read it.

The girl's hair and skin were still unscathed under the scorching flames, but the down jacket on her body began to carbonize rapidly, and emitted a pungent burnt smell, and puffs of black smoke came out. Lu Qingjiu stood beside him helplessly, thinking Thinking about whether to help her put out the fire, Wang Rumeng rushed back again in a hurry, threw the two pieces of clothing on the ground, then grabbed Lu Qingjiu's shoulder, and twisted him aside abruptly: "Don't look, don't look, don't look, Look at her clothes are all burned."

Lu Qingjiu felt that he should take Bai Yuehu out with him in the future, this world is really too dangerous, if he met someone, he would be burned without saying a word.

Fortunately, the girl burned very quickly, about a minute later, a word came from behind, Lu Qingjiu turned around with Wang Rumeng, and saw the girl standing on the wreckage, like a nirvana phoenix.

In other words... Lu Qingjiu suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have seen Phoenix at Shaohao's house, could it be... the person in front of him is...

The author has something to say: Lu Qingjiu rolled up his sleeves: Who tricked my poor fox with a lollipop?

Bai Yuehu rolled up his sleeves: Who used force to suppress my weak Jiu'er?
