Fantasy Farm

After falling into ambush, the weather is getting hotter day by day.

The grape shelf in Lu Qingjiu's house was covered with bunches of purple-black grape bunches, and the precarious appearance hanging on the branches was particularly gratifying.Lu Qingjiu was a little worried about whether the grapes would attract some birds when they were ripe, but now he realized that he was worrying too much. There were neither mosquitoes nor annoying birds to steal at his house, and every grape was very special. Fully grown to maturity.

Lu Qingjiu picked a part of the ripe grapes to make wine, and then frozen some in the refrigerator. Frozen grapes are a great product to cool off the summer heat. The grape juice is solidified into ice slag, and chewing in the mouth is better than eating. The popsicles are much stronger.

Yin Xun doesn't like the sun in summer very much. Fortunately, most of their yard is covered by grape vines, and the sunlight can only pass through the grape leaves to leave inconspicuous spots on the ground.

The little fox has fur on its body, and it's also smart. When it's hot, it sticks it on Xiaohua's belly. The first time Lu Qingjiu noticed it, he saw Xiao Hei lying on his side on the ground, exposing his pink belly. Then the little fox rested his chin on Xiaohua's belly.

I didn't expect to come here, but the little fox gets along well with the animals at home. Lu Qingjiu wanted to laugh when he saw it, and said, "Aren't you hot?"

Xiao Hei said, "My stomach is cold." He seemed to like furry foxes quite a bit, at least after the little fox came here, his attitude has been very friendly.

Hearing this, Lu Qingjiu walked over to touch Xiao Hei's belly, it was really cool and refreshing, plus it was soft to the touch, almost like a bag filled with ice water, no wonder the little fox liked it so much.

Lu Qingjiu is not very afraid of heat, he has a cooler physique, winter is more difficult than summer.Yin Xun is the exact opposite of him. If possible, he would like to stay in an air-conditioned room 24 hours a day.But too many people would feel uncomfortable in the air-conditioned room, so he sat in the yard cheeky, holding Xiaohua's younger sister Xiaohei in his arms, letting Xiaohei's belly relieve him of the heat.

Xiao Hua was very dissatisfied with Yin Xun's actions. According to him, his younger sister was still an unmarried Xiao Dangkang. If Yin Xun touched the belly of an unmarried Xiao Dangkang every day, wouldn't he be responsible for his sister? .

Of course, because Yin Xun didn't know their identities, he didn't dare to complain face to face, but just sat by the side angrily facing Yin Xun with a black face.

Yin Xun completely ignored Xiao Hua's displeasure, and hugged Xiao Hei to his death. In the end, his elder brother Xiao Hua had no choice but to replace his sister Xiao Hei's belly with his cold belly in humiliation.

Yin Xun didn't understand Xiao Hua's meaning at all, and when he saw him leaning into his arms, he suddenly said, "Oh, why are you unhappy? It turns out that you want me to hug you. If that's the case, you should hurry up." Come on, why be jealous."

Xiaohua: "????"

Lu Qingjiu chuckled lowly beside him.

In short, the feud between Xiao Hua and Yin Xun was thus forged, and the worst thing was that Yin Xun was still unaware of it, and even shamelessly thought that Xiao Hua was so cruel to him because she was jealous of Xiao Hei's treatment.

"Sigh, it's so hard to be popular." Yin Xun said to Lu Qingjiu.

Lu Qingjiu thought to himself that you should bully him when he was young, and when he turns into a big pig, you will be gone as soon as his fangs hit him.

The July sun is very venomous, hanging brightly in the sky, which makes people feel no interest in working.

Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu's eating was not affected in any way, on the contrary, Lu Qingjiu's appetite has been a little bit bad these days, and he ate very little of everything.

"Wine, why don't you eat?" Yin Xun asked.

Dinner is pork ribs and winter melon soup, cold salad with three shreds and stewed taro with chicken feet, and fried a water spinach. These dishes taste very good, especially the chicken feet, which are so cooked that you don’t need to chew the glutinous ones. You can lick the meat with your teeth It just fell off, and the taro is also soft, glutinous and sweet, and they are all very delicious dishes.But Lu Qingjiu didn't touch the food much, he just drank a bowl of porridge and ate some pickles casually before putting down his chopsticks.

"Well, not very hungry." Lu Qingjiu said, "You eat by yourself, don't worry about me."

"Eat some more." Yin Xun said, "You didn't eat much at noon."

"I can't eat anymore." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'll have some more soup." As he said he wanted to drink soup, he just made a gesture to show them, and put down the bowl in his hand after a few sips.

Bai Yuehu paused for a moment, glanced at Lu Qingjiu, but said nothing.Lu Qingjiu was relieved when he saw this, he really didn't want to eat it, but he was afraid that Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu would persuade him.

Yin Xun was still a little worried about Lu Qingjiu, so he went out after dinner, and when he came back, he held a glass jar in his hand, and said happily, "Jiu'er, I went to my neighbor to ask for some hawthorn pickled by her, you Bring some water to drink."

"Okay." Lu Qingjiu likes the hawthorn appetizing and invigorating the spleen, and he can grow some by himself if he has the opportunity in the future.

"You still have to eat well." Yin Xun taught, "Eat something else if you can't eat enough, you can't be hungry."

Lu Qingjiu nodded with a smile, listening to Yin Xun's thoughts, it feels good to be cared for, especially since he has always lived alone these few years.

After Yin Xun left, Bai Yuehu asked Lu Qingjiu to send the fox cub to the house and lock him up, saying that he would take him to a certain place.

"Where are you going?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

"Go find something to eat." Bai Yuehu said, "You can't eat anything, can you?"

"What to eat?" Bai Yuehu's identity was unusual, hearing what he said, Lu Qingjiu was a little curious, "Where can I find it?"

"Do you like the fish you ate last time?" Bai Yuehu asked.

"That kind of fish?" Lu Qingjiu said, "You mean Wen Ray?"

Bai Yuehu hummed.

"I like it." Lu Qingjiu nodded.Wen Ray is indeed the most delicious fish he has ever eaten. After all, it is a legendary creature in the Book of Mountains and Seas. Naturally, it is much tastier than the fish that he can come into contact with in daily life.

"Then let's go catch fish." Bai Yuehu said suddenly.

"Catch fish?" Lu Qingjiu said, "Where do you go to catch it? Is there no river near here?" There is a small stream by the side of the village. Although the water quality of that stream is good, it is too shallow and there are only small fish fry. Not enough to fit between the teeth.

"Follow me." Bai Yuehu stood up.

The scorching sun had already set, leaving only a red glow in the sky.The sunset smudged the sky into a gorgeous red, and it seemed as if an eye-catching flame was ignited in the sky.

Bai Yuehu led Lu Qingjiu up the mountain.

Although the sun was setting, the sky was still bright, and the outline of a moon was vaguely visible in the sky. The mountain road was a bit narrow, and Lu Qingjiu was afraid that his foot would fall into the air, so he could only lower his head and carefully look at the road.Bai Yuehu, who was walking in front of him, suddenly turned around and held out his hand to him.

Lu Qingjiu was taken aback when he saw his hand.

Bai Yuehu made a gesture of beckoning to Lu Qingjiu, signaling him to hold his hand.

Lu Qingjiu thought for a while, without saying anything, he passed his hand over, and the two of them held hands together.

Bai Yuehu's hand was very cold, and it was very comfortable to hold. It was probably because the eyes of the two of them were too calm, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

Bai Yuehu walked in front, and Lu Qingjiu followed behind.

The surrounding trees became more and more dense, and the scenery became more and more unfamiliar, and some things that should not have appeared in the forest began to appear.Lu Qingjiu even saw a stone tablet on the side of the road, that stone tablet was very tall, with the words Shuifu Village written on it in red letters.This was supposed to be the road sign of Shuifu Village, but the aura emanating from the stele made Lu Qingjiu feel as if he had entered a completely strange place.

The sky hasn't changed much, it's still as bright as a blazing flame, but when Lu Qingjiu raised his head to observe carefully, he found that there seemed to be something more swimming in the clouds above his head, he wanted to stop and watch, white Yuehu took his hand and continued to move forward.

"The view from the top of the mountain is better." Bai Yuehu said, "Come here."

Lu Qingjiu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The road was rough, but walking was not tiring, and the supposedly unfamiliar and terrifying scene became reassuring because of Bai Yuehu holding his hand.Lu Qingjiu moved forward all the way, and soon, the scenery in front of him became wider.The trees gradually thinned out, and a vast platform appeared before Lu Qingjiu's eyes.This seems to be a platform opened up on the mountainside. The ground is a kind of blue stone, emitting a light color.Lu Qingjiu said: "This is..."

"This is Shuifu Village." Bai Yuehu replied.

He walked to the side, casually pulled two pieces of roadside grass from the bushes, and handed them to Lu Qingjiu: "Come on, let's go fishing."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Fishing, do you use this?" He took the grass from Bai Yuehu's hand.The grass grows a little strangely, with a cluster of fiery red stamens on the top of the head. The stem is originally hard, but after being stroked vigorously, it will become very soft, like a rope.

"En." Bai Yuehu said, "Come this way." As he spoke, he walked forward, reached the edge of the platform, then made a stop gesture, then turned to ask Lu Qingjiu, "Are you afraid of heights?" ?”

"I...? I'm not afraid of heights." Lu Qingjiu replied.

"Then come here." Bai Yuehu waved.

Only then did Lu Qingjiu walk up to Bai Yuehu's side. He glanced down, and only then did he understand what Bai Yuehu meant when he asked him if he was afraid of heights. Under the platform, there was a bottomless sea of ​​clouds.The sun that was about to set dyed the sea of ​​clouds crimson, and in the sea of ​​clouds, from time to time, creatures with wings could be seen shuttling and jumping among them.Lu Qingjiu had very good eyesight, and he could see clearly what was swimming in the sea of ​​clouds at a glance. It was the ray that Bai Yuehu brought back that time.

There are two wings as white as birds on the manta rays, probably because they were afraid of scaring Lu Qingjiu. The last time Bai Yuehu took them back, he cut off the wings on purpose. No wonder Lu Qingjiu found them on the fish when he saw them. two huge wounds.

"Come on." Bai Yuehu sat down on the edge of the platform, and threw the grass in his hand into the sea of ​​clouds.

Lu Qingjiu followed his example and threw the grass in his hand into the sea of ​​clouds.

The scenery here is really beautiful. Looking up, there is an endless sky. The clouds are rolling and surging, like the ocean blown by the breeze. The ray fish in the clouds are walking through it. Lu Qingjiu even saw some of them. Other animals, but the appearance of these animals was so strange that he couldn't recognize them for a while.The Bai Yuehu sitting next to him is even more beautiful like a painting, the gentle light is scattered on his cheeks, the long eyelashes are half drooping, casting a faint shadow under the eyelids, the black eyes are staring at In front of the abyss covered by the sea of ​​clouds, Lu Qingjiu watched him fascinated until he noticed that the grass in his hand began to tremble, and he said, "You're hooked!"

"Take up the cable." Bai Yuehu reminded softly from the side.

Lu Qingjiu said: "How do you charge it?!"

"Just lift it up." Bai Yuehu replied.

Hearing this, Lu Qingjiu hurriedly reeled in the line. When he pulled the grass to the end, he saw a stingray hanging on it. Its wings were still fluttering. Lu Qingjiu grabbed it, feeling a little helpless. : "What are you going to wear?"

Bai Yuehu took out a bag out of nowhere and said, "Put it in it."

Lu Qingjiu reached out and stuffed the fish in.

"Can this fish be used as sashimi?" The chef who caught the fish began to think about how to prepare the food. "It has lived in the clouds since childhood?"

"En." Bai Yuehu nodded.

"Then do you have parasites in the fairy world?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

"It doesn't exist." Bai Yuehu said, "We all eat raw meat, so we haven't heard of it."

Lu Qingjiu thought to himself, this is really great, if that's the case, let's take the fresh ray back home and make sashimi, and can you eat the pair of wings, if you can, you can make New Orleans-style chicken wings Satisfy the little ones at home.

The manta ray is really good. Not only is the fish meat delicious, but it also has no spines.Lu Qingjiu showed a satisfied smile.

The fish took the bait one after another, and soon the bag was full, Lu Qingjiu asked curiously: "What is under the sea of ​​clouds?"

"Want to take a look?" Bai Yuehu asked.

"Can you go?" Lu Qingjiu laughed seeing him asking so seriously, "Aren't you a fox, can you still fly?"

Bai Yuehu said: "Yes, it's just that the moon is full recently and the sea of ​​clouds is unstable. When the moon is short, I can take you down to have a look." He said it seriously, obviously not joking.

"Okay." Lu Qingjiu said, "If you have a chance, go and have a look."

Bai Yuehu nodded and said, "Let's go back, it's going to rain."

Lu Qingjiu looked at the sky and thought it was quite clear, but he didn't understand why Bai Yuehu suddenly said that it was going to rain.But since Bai Yuehu said he wanted to go down, it wouldn't be nonsense.

Bai Yuehu held the fish in one hand and Lu Qingjiu in the other, and continued to walk back along the mountain road when he came.When he walked to the stone tablet in Shuifu Village, a shadow floated over Lu Qingjiu's head. At first he thought it was a dark cloud, but when he raised his head, he found that a huge black beast appeared above his head.

At first glance, the giant beast looks like a cow without horns, its skin is black, what's more special is that it has only one hoof under its feet, and it rides the clouds and fog in the sky.It seemed to have noticed Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu who were walking along the mountain road under its feet, and let out a roar that shook the sky, the sound was like thunder, and Lu Qingjiu's ears were numb from the shock.

Bai Yuehu raised his head displeased when he heard the voice, and said to the monster, "Shut up."

That strange cow: "..."

Lu Qingjiu clearly saw that as soon as Bai Yuehu said these words, the mouth of the strange cow was instantly closed.

"It's so annoying." Bai Yuehu said, "He's the only one with the loudest voice."

Lu Qingjiu laughed softly.

The strange cow headed towards the top of the mountain, while Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu returned home. They almost entered the door with their front feet, when it rained heavily outside with their back feet, moistening the dry land outside.

Amidst the rain, Lu Qingjiu heard another burst of thunder in a trance, but when he listened carefully, he realized that it was just his own illusion.

When they got home, Bai Yuehu carried the fish into the kitchen, took ice cubes from the refrigerator, and sliced ​​a plate of sashimi for Lu Qingjiu.

His knife skills are always beautiful, and the sliced ​​sashimi is as thin as a cicada's wing, and it is almost invisible when placed on the ice.Lu Qingjiu sat inside the house, watching the heavy rain falling outside the house. This rain washed away the unpleasant heat of the past few days, and a fresh earthy aroma began to fill the air.

Bai Yuehu came out of the kitchen and handed the sashimi to Lu Qingjiu.

Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "Thank you."

Bai Yuehu shook his head: "Eat."

Lu Qingjiu picked up a slice with his chopsticks, and when he put it in his mouth, he was surprised. This fish was so delicious, without any fishy smell, pink and tender, with a touch of sweet and sour, without the fatty feeling of salmon at all. .Lu Qingjiu wasn't very interested in sashimi at first, but the fish was so delicious that he couldn't resist eating more.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Lu Qingjiu had almost eaten, only to notice that Bai Yuehu didn't move his chopsticks.

"Don't eat." Bai Yuehu said, "I'm tired of eating."

Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "Tired of eating? How many years have you been eating?"

Bai Yuehu propped his chin, his eyes fell on the rain curtain, and he said: "Many, many years."

The delicacy that others have never tasted in their life has become the object of dislike in Bai Yuehu's mouth. Also, no matter how delicious the food is, if you keep eating it, you will always get tired of it.

Eating the fish meat relieved the feeling of stagnation in his stomach. Lu Qingjiu felt full after eating half a fish. Since the beginning of summer, this was the most comfortable meal he had ever eaten.

"Yuehu, thank you." Lu Qingjiu smiled.

Bai Yuehu stared at Lu Qingjiu for a moment, then said slowly: "No, I should be the one thanking you." The words were a little inexplicable, but he didn't mean to explain, so he got up and left after speaking.Lu Qingjiu looked at his back, but fell into a brief thought.

Summer rain always makes people feel comfortable, violent and fast, washing away the hot breath in the air.

After Lu Qingjiu was full, he returned to his bedroom. Before going to bed, he read the book of mountains and seas that he subscribed to online, and quickly found the giant beast he saw in the night sky just now.The name of the giant beast is Kui (two tones of kui), and its appearance is somewhat similar to that of a cow. It is said that every time it enters the sea, there will be strong light and heavy rain. The Yellow Emperor once used its skin to make a drum. It is said that such a drum The sound is very loud, and the drumbeat can even be heard 500 meters away.

It's a very interesting legend. Lu Qingjiu tossed and turned, and drowsiness came to his heart. He fell on the pillow and soon fell asleep. This time he slept very deeply. He slept until dawn without being disturbed by dreams. .

The next day, Lu Qingjiu made the leftover ray into sauerkraut fish, and used their wings to make a pot of grilled chicken wings.Yin Xun had no idea where these wings came from, and after eating them, he praised the tenderness and deliciousness of the wings.

Lu Qingjiu didn't explain, just watched him finish most of the wings with a smile.

After the meal, Lu Qingjiu briefly explained how the family would arrange after he left, especially what to eat for lunch every day.Because he had to go for several days, Lu Qingjiu simply fried a large pot of crispy meat. This crispy meat is fried with lean meat wrapped in flour and egg whites. It tastes very delicious and is also very suitable for cooking soup. He told Yin Xun asked him to cook a bowl of crispy broth tonight, and heat up the braised beef in the refrigerator tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow...

"There's still the day after tomorrow." Yin Xun looked at Lu Qingjiu anxiously, his eyes were pitiful.

Lu Qingjiu said helplessly: "I plan to come back in two days, but the plan can't keep up with the changes. If I delay for a day, will you both starve to death?"

Yin Xun: "...I can cook even if I'm not starving to death."

Lu Qingjiu thought to himself, Yin Xun cooks, even if he starves to death, he will get food poisoning.

After he explained these things, he put the little fox cub into Yin Xun's hands and asked him to take good care of him. Yin Xun patted his chest and promised that he would not let the fox cub shed a hair.

The fox cub sat beside him and listened with his eyes wide open. When he heard Yin Xun's words, he sneezed suddenly, and then the hairs in the house flew around - there was no way, all furry pets had their hairs flying around in summer.

Yin Xun was choked and sneezed, grabbed a hair from his mouth, and said in pain, "Come on, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Lu Qingjiu slapped him dumbfounded.

Going back this time, Lu Qingjiu still listened to Bai Yuehu's words and drove the minivan, but the minivan changed its appearance last night. The truck has changed models.

"Is there any problem with this license plate?" Lu Qingjiu was a little worried about this.

"No problem." Bai Yuehu said lazily, "It's all done."

"That's good." Don't find out that it is an unlicensed car when you go on the road, and you will be stopped before you pass the city, and the worst thing is that Lu Qingjiu still doesn't know how to explain it...

"Then I'm leaving." Putting the suitcase into the trunk of the car, Lu Qingjiu greeted Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun after sitting in the driver's cab.

"Go early and come back early!" Yin Xun waved exaggeratedly at Lu Qingjiu.

Bai Yuehu stood on the spot and didn't speak, neither saying goodbye nor waving, as if Lu Qingjiu was just going to a small town and would be back in two hours.

Lu Qingjiu drove the car and disappeared at the end of the mountain road.

The location of Shuifu Village is very remote, and it takes about ten hours by train, but if you drive by yourself on the high speed, it will be faster, because there are very few cars here, and you need to detour to other cities during the period.But even if it's a little faster, it's hard work to drive on the highway for more than ten hours, especially when he drives alone and doesn't even have a chat.

But with a small truck, he doesn't have to worry about these things. After all, he can drive the small truck by himself when he's tired of driving. As long as he doesn't take his hands off the steering wheel, he won't be fined.

Lu Qingjiu called Zhu Miaomiao and told her that he would be here today, so they were on their way.

After a few months, returning to the city he was familiar with again, Lu Qingjiu felt a little emotional, but since he made the choice to leave, he has no regrets.

The author has something to say: Bai Yuehu: I'm holding your hand~

Lu Qingjiu: Just... like leading a dog?

Bai Yuehu: ...
