Fantasy Farm

Wu Xiaohang doesn't like winter.

In winter, it means that more money needs to be spent on food and clothes to keep out the cold, and more money on heating. For ordinary people, this may be just a change of seasons, but for him who is not economically rich , but a heavy burden.In the past, I was alone, so I gritted my teeth and passed by, but now there is a child in the family. Although the child said that he is not afraid of the cold, he is reluctant to let the child spend the winter in an unheated room.

Gritting his teeth to pay for the heating bill, Wu Xiaohang heaved a sigh of relief as the house became warmer.

After the winter, the originally lively child became quieter, almost unwilling to move except for eating. Wu Xiaohang brought him delicious food in a different way, just because he was afraid that he would not even have the last hobby and completely changed. Have no desires and no desires.

The child has been living in his home for almost half a year, and Wu Xiaohang is also used to his presence. During this period, although he thought about whether to call the police to find a family for the child, but after finding out that the situation in the child’s home did not seem to be good, Wu Xiaohang cut off such communication. idea.What's more, he looked at the missing person information in this city every day, but he didn't find anyone looking for the child. This also confirmed the child's statement. His family didn't love him, and even after they found out that he was missing, they didn't have any intention of looking for him. .

While Wu Xiaohang felt sad, he also breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of the guilt in his heart.

In the autumn, the child was injured again. He was injured so badly that he passed out when he got home.Wu Xiaohang was startled when he saw this situation, and immediately carried him on his back and wanted to run to the hospital, but Wu Ruhuo woke up halfway and refused to go to the hospital desperately.

"I'm fine, don't go to the hospital." Wu Ruhuo insisted, "I'll be fine after a few days of sleep."

"Who hit you? Who hit you?" Wu Xiaohang gritted his teeth, wishing he could immediately help Wu Ruhuo get back on the spot. "Such a young child has such a ruthless hand—it's really not a thing." He couldn't help scolding The swearing, I hurriedly stopped the swearing, after all, I have a child on my back, and it is not a good thing for him to learn to use swearing.

Wu Ruhuo rubbed Wu Xiaohang's cheeks naturally, with a bit of coquettish taste, he said: "Yeah, he is really not a thing, let's go back, I really don't want to go to the hospital, it's just a skin trauma, it's too late It will be fine in a few days."

"No, how could this be a skin injury." Wu Xiaohang was still unwilling.

But Wu Ruhuo refused to go to the hospital no matter what, Wu Xiaohang's persuasion was ineffective, and finally had no choice but to take the child home.After returning home, he asked Wu Ruhuo why he didn't want to go. After Wu Ruhuo was silent for a moment, he said something that made Wu Xiaohang feel extremely distressed.

He said: "Hospitals are very expensive, and our family has no money."

After Wu Xiaohang heard this, he hugged him hard, feeling extremely uncomfortable, thinking that he would never let the child suffer such grievances, nor let other people hurt him again.

The child was noncommittal about Wu Xiaohang's promise. He leaned on Wu Xiaohang's shoulder, but his eyes were no longer as pitiful as before, but calm and waveless like stagnant water.

Although he was seriously injured in autumn, fortunately, after winter, he became much quieter, and he didn't like to go out anymore.While Wu Xiaohang was worried, he also breathed a sigh of relief. If Wu Ruhuo didn't go out, it meant that other people had no chance to hurt him.

On this day when Wu Xiaohang was getting paid, he specially bought Wu Ruhuo's favorite cake in the bakery, and happily carried it home.But before he entered the house, he heard a fierce argument coming from inside, it seemed that Wu Ruhuo was arguing with someone.He was startled, his first reaction was that Wu Ruhuo's parents came to the door, but after carefully eavesdropping through the wall, Wu Xiaohang found that only Wu Ruhuo's voice came from the room.

"I won't do that, shut up!!" Wu Ruhuo was furious, "He's different—at least it's different to me."

The person at the other end didn't know what to say, Wu Ruhuo became even more angry, and even knocked down something: "I'll let him know, but it's not the time yet, wait for a while."

Wu Xiaohang was trying to let him know something, the voice in the room dropped down, and then the door opened, and Wu Ruhuo who was standing at the door had already found him who had come back.

The two looked at each other, but Wu Xiaohang was startled. In Wu Ruhuo's eyes, he saw a look he had never seen before. The expression was cold and cruel, and he stared at him as if he was looking at a hand. Ants that can be crushed to death.Wu Xiaohang's heart was shocked, and he took a step back reflexively. When he looked again, Wu Ruhuo had returned to his usual gentle appearance, looked at him with a smile, and said, brother, you are back.

"I... I'm back." Looking at Wu Ruhuo in front of him, Wu Xiaohang quickly forgot the bad sense of disobedience just now, and said, "I brought you your favorite cake, don't eat it anymore It's all frozen hard, come and taste it."

Wu Ruhuo laughed.

The two entered the room and happily shared the small piece of cake. Wu Ruhuo said suddenly, "Brother, if you find out that I'm lying to you, will you blame me?"

Wu Xiaohang was lowering his head and cutting the cake. Hearing this, he said, "What did you lie to me? Did your family tell you to go back?"

Wu Ruhuo shook his head, indicating that it was not.

Wu Xiaohang said: "Everyone has their own secrets. If you don't intend to harm others, occasional deception is allowed." He raised his hand, touched Wu Ruhuo's head, and said, "Or do you want to tell now? me?"

Wu Ruhuo bit his spoon and thought for a moment, but he rejected Wu Xiaohang's proposal. He said, "No, I don't want to tell you yet, it's not yet time..."

Wu Xiaohang couldn't help laughing: "What's the time, what's the matter?"

Wu Ruhuo said: "It's very important, but I don't want to say it now." He observed Wu Xiaohang's expression, and thought of the step Wu Xiaohang took involuntarily back at the door just now.

But Wu Xiaohang didn't take Wu Ruhuo's words seriously. Wu Ruhuo is only in his teens now, can a teenage child have any particularly important secrets? Wu Xiaohang guessed that the secret might be related to his family, so he was not in a hurry, saying that he You can wait until Wu Ruhuo wants to say it.

Wu Ruhuo laughed in satisfaction, and said, brother, you are so kind.

Wu Xiaohang patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to come and eat the cake. The orange light in the room coated both of them with a layer of warm color. This winter didn't seem to be as difficult as Wu Xiaohang imagined.

……

The food tonight is stewed overcooked mutton, served with cabbage stored in the cellar, and a saucer made by myself, which is very appetizing.In fact, when Lu Qingjiu ate mutton, he liked to scald some pea shoots, but unfortunately this year's snow came too early, and they didn't grow any at home, so they had to give up on it in the end.But who knows that Bai Yuehu suddenly stood up and went out halfway through the meal. Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun both looked blank, and when they were wondering if something happened in the city, Bai Yuehu grabbed A bunch of crisp and tender pea sprouts came back, and there was still white snow on the hair on his shoulders, but he didn't care. He just patted it and said, "Eat first, I'll wash it."

Lu Qingjiu couldn't help showing a smile, and nodded. He didn't say that he wanted to eat fresh vegetables, but he didn't expect Bai Yuehu to see it at a glance.

After the pea sprouts are washed, they are placed in a hot soup pot, and they can be taken out after passing through the water for a while. Such pea sprouts have a strong aroma, and both the leaves and stems are very fresh and refreshing.Lu Qingjiu said: "Where did you pick it?"

Bai Yuehu said: "I bought it from the supermarket."

Lu Qingjiu said: "It's really delicious."

Bai Yuehu nodded in satisfaction.Although Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun couldn't go out, he could. Thinking about it this way, they weren't too isolated from the world.

After eating the pea sprouts, Lu Qingjiu's mood improved a lot. In the end, he drank several bowls of soup consecutively, and his body also warmed up.After dinner, Yin Xun took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Bai Yuehu and Lu Qingjiu sat by the bed and continued knitting.I have to say that knitting sweaters is really addictive. Once you start, you want to knit in one go, and you can't stop.The earmuffs that Lu Qingjiu planned to weave for Bai Yuehu were only a third completed at this time, and they were still far away from completion. As for the things Bai Yuehu wove... Lu Qingjiu unexpectedly didn't understand.

After winter, the snow has no intention of stopping at all. The continuous appearance is like a big hole has been poked in the sky. In just one night, the snow outside is as high as a person's thigh, and it is almost impossible to open the door. opened.

In order to avoid the house being blocked, the first thing they do every morning is to sweep snow.But sweeping the snow has nothing to do with Lu Qingjiu. Although he wanted to do it, Bai Yuehu firmly refused, saying that Lu Qingjiu's physique was already cold, and he had to rely on Zhu Rong's ginger soup to warm up and get in touch with the snow. Too much is not a good thing, Lu Qingjiu tried to argue, so he could only give up and stood in the room looking at Bai Yuehu and Yin Xunsao.

After holding back in the house for several days, finally met a sunny day, Lu Qingjiu hurried out to bask in the sun for a while.After the heavy snowfall, it was white outside, and the sun was dazzling in the snow, Yin Xun sniffled and asked Lu Qingjiu what we had for dinner tonight.

Lu Qingjiu said: "Let's see what you and Yuehu want to eat, why do you have a runny nose?"

Yin Xun said, "I seem to have a cold..."

Lu Qingjiu: "Mountain gods can catch a cold too?" The mountain god Yin Xun is a bit too fragile.

Yin Xun said: "The cold virus is terrible. Who doesn't catch a cold, and the dragon people can catch a cold too!"

Lu Qingjiu: "..." He didn't know what to say.

Although it was sunny, Lu Qingjiu still didn't dare to go far, so he walked around the yard a few times to exercise his muscles and bones.At this time, the yard was empty, chickens and rabbits were all moved indoors by Lu Qingjiu before the snow fell.Niu Niu didn't go inside, but Bai Yuehu said that he was very cold resistant, as long as the forage was constant, the quality of the meat would be better if he kept it outside for a winter, Niu Niu shuddered silently when he heard Bai Yuehu's words.

As for the Qinyuan and bees in the backyard, Lu Qingjiu also put them in a special storage room, and also placed sugar that bees can eat for them to spend the winter. In short, the whole family is now ready for winter.

In December, the fox father Su Yan came to pick up the little fox cub Su Xi as usual. After last year's situation, this year Su Xi has perfectly preserved his smooth and smooth fur, and he no longer has to worry about being recognized as a VIP dog.Su Yan was quite moved when he saw this scene, he took Lu Qingjiu's hand and shook his hand a few times to express his gratitude, and finally ran away under Bai Yuehu's unfriendly gaze.When he saw the sweaters in Bai Yuehu and Lu Qingjiu's hands, he obviously thought of something terrible, his back felt cold, and he grabbed his son and hurried away.

Lu Qingjiu asked in a daze what was wrong with Su Yan, why he looked like he was being chased away in a panic.

Bai Yuehu said: "Look at the color of the wool on your hand, does it look like smooth fox fur?"

Lu Qingjiu: "..."

Bai Yuehu said: "Forget him running fast."

Lu Qingjiu couldn't laugh or cry, he bought the wool from the town at first, but after their day and night hard work, it soon became insufficient. Of course, how could Bai Yuehu allow his gift-giving business to be hindered, so he quickly Lu Qingjiu brought back bunches of very good quality wool. Lu Qingjiu didn't think much about it. He thought it was the wool that Bai Yuehu got from somewhere. Now seeing Su Yan's expression like seeing a ghost, he guessed that Bai Yuehu was Where did you get the yarn from...

I have to say that it was really miserable for this group of nine-tailed foxes to meet Bai Yuehu. Not only did they lose their tails, but even their body hair was plucked a lot.

After Su Xi left, the house became much quieter. This year, the Chinese New Year closes very early, almost in mid-January.Lu Qingjiu originally thought that they would wait until the New Year's Eve peacefully, but who knew that at the end of December, a major event happened in the city—the Candle Dragon, whose activities had become low-key before, turned out to be a riot.

It was still snowing that day, Lu Qingjiu woke up in a daze, and saw Bai Yuehu dressing beside him, he asked, "Where are you going..."

Bai Yuehu said: "I'll go to the city." He turned his head and planted a tender kiss on Lu Qingjiu's forehead, "You stay at home obediently, don't go to the yard, it's too cold outside."

Lu Qingjiu said yes.

Bai Yuehu got up and left, his back was a little hurried, it seemed that the situation was not very good, Lu Qingjiu lay on the bed for a while, then got up too, there was an electric radiator plugged in in the room, it wasn't too bad cold.It was past ten o'clock in the morning, and Yin Xun should have come over. Sitting by the bed, Lu Qingjiu noticed a strange red glow in the sky.He is very familiar with this red glow, which is clearly a symbol of the fire, and it seems that it was created by Zhulong again, but he doesn't know what kind of stimulation he received.

Lu Qingjiu was sitting by the window when he heard a knock on the door. His first reaction was that Yin Xun had come, but after the knock on the door, no one came in. Lu Qingjiu's heart moved, and he knew that the door was open. It's definitely not Yin Xun.

Every time Bai Yuehu left, something would happen, and Lu Qingjiu felt it in his heart, so although he heard the knock on the door again, he never moved.

The knock on the door rang again for a while, then stopped. Lu Qingjiu was slightly puzzled, so he looked out through the cat's eyes, but he didn't expect to see a familiar figure standing outside the door in the wind and snow, quietly gazing at the door. Looking at the black door in front of him.

Unexpectedly, his grandpa would come to the door suddenly. Lu Qingjiu was also a little worried when he was pleasantly surprised. He quickly opened the door and said, "Grandpa, why are you here?"

Ao Run's expression was slightly tired, he slowly stretched out his hand and gently grabbed Lu Qingjiu's arm, and wrote in Lu Qingjiu's palm: Qingjiu, I have something to tell you.

Lu Qingjiu said: "What's the matter?"

Ao Run wrote: About Bai Yuehu.

Lu Qingjiu walked to the door, opened the door in the yard, and saw Ao Run standing outside the door, but Ao Run's appearance frightened Lu Qingjiu, he saw wounds all over his body, and bruises on his cheeks. With scorched marks, it seemed as if he had escaped from the scene of the fire.

"Grandpa, are you okay!" Lu Qingjiu was surprised.

It's okay... Ao Run shook his head to show that he was okay: I had a fight with a beast just now.

When Lu Qingjiu heard the title of beast, he immediately thought of something: "Did you fight with Zhulong?"

Ao Run nodded slightly.

Lu Qingjiu said: "Come in first, I'll help you treat the wound." Those wounds looked too hideous, not only the skin was burnt black, even the red flesh inside was exposed, the person who looked at it was daring Shocked.Lu Qingjiu looked at his grandpa with this appearance, but what he thought of was that his grandma would feel very distressed if he saw it.

Ao Run stepped into the yard, but he didn't enter the house, but found a stone bench in the snow and sat down.

Lu Qingjiu hurried into the house to get alcohol and gauze, planning to deal with it for Ao Run.

Alcohol on the wound should have hurt, but Ao Run didn't change his face, while Lu Qingjiu felt more and more sad in his heart as he cleaned it up, he whispered: "This won't work, I still have to go to the hospital for stitches... "

Ao Run refused, saying that he was not that serious.

"Why is it not serious?" Lu Qingjiu said, "You can see the bones!" He really couldn't bear it, and tried his best to lighten the movements of his hands, but this was just a drop in the bucket for serious wounds, "What happened, why did you fight with Zhulong? Aren't you two in the same group?"

Grandpa didn't answer, just sighed softly, and he wrote slowly: You are different from grandma.

Lu Qingjiu made a sound.

Your grandma doesn't like to talk. Although she has a good temper, she is very stubborn. If she sees me like this, she will definitely sulk again.Grandpa wrote that she was very smart, so she seldom advised me.Smart people seldom say superfluous words, and she knew she couldn't persuade her lover, so she simply didn't persuade her.

Lu Qingjiu listened quietly.

You are a good boy.Ao Run suddenly wrote this sentence, you shouldn't get involved in all this.

Lu Qingjiu said: "But I have already mixed in."

Ao Run wrote: No, you still have a chance.He raised his head slightly, his closed eyes turned towards Lu Qingjiu, and then he seemed a little confused: Why didn't you leave Shuifu Village?

Lu Qingjiu stopped the work at hand, took a deep breath, and said in a serious and serious tone, "Because there are people I love here, and everything I want to protect."

Ao Run said: But you are just a fragile human being, who do you want to protect?

Lu Qingjiu said: "Humans are the guardians, and the dragons are just tenants."

Ao Run was dumb, and sighed again, showing that he had no choice but to take Lu Qingjiu.Lu Qingjiu continued to help him treat the wound, he felt that Ao Run's breath was a little weak, and a little worry rose in his heart.

Both of them fell silent, only the sound of snow falling around, Lu Qingjiu asked Ao Run if he wanted to go inside to warm up for a while, Ao Run refused.

I gotta go.Ao Run is writing, but before leaving, there are some things to be done.

Lu Qingjiu asked: "What?"

Ao Run said: Are you really not leaving Shuifu Village?

Lu Qingjiu was originally bent over, but when he heard Ao Run's question, he straightened up. He was a little puzzled why Ao Run insisted on leaving here by himself.

"I won't leave." Lu Qingjiu said firmly, "No matter what happens, I won't leave." He couldn't imagine leaving Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun here, the two of them couldn't even cook Well, what will happen to the whole family if he leaves by himself.

Ao Run said: But you will die here.

Lu Qingjiu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words.

You will die here, like your parents.Ao Run actually wrote such a sentence.

Lu Qingjiu was silent for a moment, and gave Ao Run his final answer: "Everyone will die, everyone will, and death is the ultimate destination of human beings. It's not so terrible to be with the person you love."

After listening to Lu Qingjiu's answer, Ao Run felt an indescribable melancholy on his brows. His expression seemed to be crying, but also seemed to be smiling. Combined with the hideous wound on his face, he looked extraordinarily weird.

Lu Qingjiu was about to ask what's wrong, when he saw Ao Run standing up suddenly, with his free hand on his shoulder, he wrote: Sorry, Qingjiu, I don't want to do this either, but if I don't Do it, you will definitely die..." As soon as he stopped, Lu Qingjiu felt a cold breath pouring down his hand into his body, and his whole body was frozen instantly, like a statue It was like an ice sculpture, frozen in place. But although the body was frozen, the consciousness was still clear. Lu Qingjiu heard Ao Run's heavy sigh, and he wrote: It's about to start, it's too late.

Then, there was a ferocious roar from the door, but it was Yin Xun, who should have come a long time ago but just arrived. Seeing this scene, he rushed towards Ao Run like crazy: "Bastard, let go!" Lu Qingjiu—"

Naturally, Yin Xun was not Ao Run's opponent at all, and before he jumped to his side, Ao Run waved his hand and hit the wall directly.

Seeing this, Lu Qingjiu showed panic. He didn't understand why Ao Run would do this, but he also knew that Ao Run would not kill himself, but Yin Xun was different. To Ao Run, he was just an insignificant person. It's just a mountain god.

Fortunately, Ao Run didn't make any unnecessary movements. After Lu Qingjiu was completely frozen, he let go of Lu Qingjiu's shoulder, stretched out his hand and gently touched Lu Qingjiu's cheek, his fingers trembled slightly: I'm sorry. .

Lu Qingjiu couldn't speak, and could only look at Ao Run.

I do not want this.Ao Run wrote the last sentence: But I can't help it... He lowered his head. Although he couldn't see his expression, Lu Qingjiu felt that he must be extremely sad at this moment.

After Ao Run finished speaking, he turned around slowly and left against the wind and snow.Lu Qingjiu stood in the yard, like a lifeless ice sculpture. Yin Xun, who was beaten into the air, staggered towards him. After confirming that Lu Qingjiu was still alive, he cried and took out his mobile phone to call Bai Yuehu, but the mobile phone signal failed. It was gone long ago, his tears flowed out of his eyes and turned into ice drops on his cheeks, he choked up and said: "Jiu'er, it's okay, it's okay, you'll be fine, we'll go into the room right now, in the room... But It's warm."
