Fantasy Farm

Lu Qingjiu drove the pickup truck that had changed its appearance and set off on the road. After more than ten hours of bumpy rides, he finally returned to the city he had chosen to leave.After half a year, the appearance of the city has not changed much. It is still a noisy scene with towering tall buildings and heavy traffic on the roads.

I am used to staying in the quiet countryside, but Lu Qingjiu is still not used to it when he returns here, and the pickup truck has become much better. I don't know if he was frightened by this strange scene.

"Sake, sake! This way!" Zhu Miaomiao arrived at the agreed place with Lu Qingjiu early in the morning, and waved at him.

Lu Qingjiu saw her and drove the car over.

Zhu Miaomiao said: "How long have you not slept? How about I drive?" Lu Qingjiu set off in the morning and only arrived this evening. He must be tired after driving on the highway all day.

"No need." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'm not that tired." In fact, he didn't drive for too long, it was the pickup truck controlling the direction and speed, and he fell asleep holding the steering wheel...

"Oh, okay." Zhu Miaomiao said, "Then go to my house first."

Lu Qingjiu nodded.

Although he has stayed in this city for many years, Lu Qingjiu did not buy a house here. The house he lived in before was also rented. Because he was going back to his hometown, the house had already been returned.This time when Lu Qingjiu came back, he originally wanted to stay in a hotel, but Zhu Miaomiao refused to agree, saying that her house obviously had a guest room where he could live, and Lu Qingjiu went to a hotel to join in the fun. Isn't it more convenient to live at home than in a hotel?

Lu Qingjiu didn't try to persuade her, so he could only agree.

After parking the car in the garage, Zhu Miaomiao took Lu Qingjiu to the entrance of the community to have dinner. After getting used to the food made at home, Lu Qingjiu felt the obvious difference when he tasted the food outside.

"Well, the food from your place is still delicious." Zhu Miaomiao was also very emotional about this, "The food in the city is always almost tasteless."

Lu Qingjiu smiled and said: "I brought you some raisins from our place, they are delicious, you should try them first."

Zhu Miaomiao grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her mouth with a surprised look: "It's delicious, these grapes are so sweet."

"Yes." Lu Qingjiu said, "You can go to our place to play when you are free."

Zhu Miaomiao nodded with a smile.

Because of the day's driving on the road, Zhu Miaomiao was also afraid that Lu Qingjiu would be tired, so he took him back to the guest room at home early, and the two said good night to each other. After Lu Qingjiu finished washing, he entered the guest room that Zhu Miaomiao had prepared for him.

Zhu Miaomiao lives on the 20th floor of the city center, not far from the bustling commercial street. When you look up, you can see a sea of ​​light formed by lights, and the vehicles passing by the roadside are like streamers.This is the night view of the city, which is completely different from that of Shuifu Village, but each has its own beauty.

Lu Qingjiu looked at it for a while and then went back to bed to get ready for bed, and he had to get up early tomorrow morning.

The next day, the alarm clock woke up Lu Qingjiu from his dream. When he got up, he saw that Zhu Miaomiao was still sleeping, so he washed up lightly and went out alone.

Lu Qingjiu went to the garage and drove the pickup truck, and the two headed towards the cemetery.

The cemetery is in the suburbs, and it takes about an hour to drive there.

When he arrived at the cemetery, Lu Qingjiu first bought incense candles and paper money, and then bought a bunch of fresh chrysanthemums.Because it is neither a festival nor a rest day, the cemetery is very quiet, tall pine trees stand neatly on both sides of the road, and the atmosphere is solemn.The low evergreen leaves were still covered with dewdrops left by the mist, and when Lu Qingjiu passed through them, it left wet marks on the trousers.

He quickly found his target, a tombstone in the corner.

Because their parents had an accident at the same time, they were also buried together. The names of the two were outlined in golden lines on the tombstone, and above the names were two black and white photos.The man is handsome and the woman is soft and beautiful, which makes people want to praise them for being a good couple.

Lu Qingjiu put down the flowers in his hand, inserted a joss stick in front of the tombstone, then squatted down, and began to burn the paper money in his hand little by little.The paper money turned into gray ashes in the flames, and disappeared into the air with the wind. Lu Qingjiu said: "Mom and Dad, I'm back to see you."

Naturally there will be no answer.

Lu Qingjiu continued to murmur in a low voice: "I'm back in my hometown now, and I'm living a good life. You don't have to worry. If you need anything down there, remember to envision me in a dream. I haven't dreamed of you for a long time."

He paused for a moment, and his voice was a little low: "I don't know...whether there is a chance to find you back."

At that time, the mountain near Shuifu Village collapsed, and Lu Qingjiu's parents, who were still on the road, were directly buried in it. They couldn't even find the body, only some belongings.At that time, Lu Qingjiu couldn't accept this fact at all, and rushed back to Shuifu Village overnight, wanting to retrieve his parents' remains, but when he saw the collapsed mountain, he realized that this idea was almost impossible.

In the face of the power of nature, man is really too weak, so weak that he is like a mantis holding a chariot, and he loses his life without even a chance to resist.

While burning the paper money, Lu Qingjiu was thinking about some details of his life. When the paper money was burned out, he also finished what he wanted to say, so he reached out to touch the tombstone and said softly, "Mom and Dad, I'll go first, and wait until next year." Come back at Qingming, if you miss me, tell me."

It was silent, but the men and women on the tombstone still showed gentle smiles.

Lu Qingjiu packed up his things and left the cemetery. He got in the car, but his cell phone rang suddenly. He picked it up and saw that it was Zhu Miaomiao's phone number.

"Sake." Zhu Miaomiao said, "Would you like to have a meal with us tonight? We have dinner at work, Brother Yun and the others are here too."

Lu Qingjiu said: "It's not good for me to go to the unit dinner."

Zhu Miaomiao said: "It's okay, the person you hate isn't coming, I told them you're back, and they were all very happy."

Lu Qingjiu thought for a while: "Okay." He actually liked those colleagues in the unit, and everyone got along very well on weekdays. He didn't resign voluntarily but was fired. Of course, Zhu Miaomiao and the others didn't know about these things, because There are hidden secrets that Lu Qingjiu doesn't want to mention again.Since the person he hated the most was not around, it was fine to have a meal, Lu Qingjiu readily agreed to Zhu Miaomiao's invitation.

The place to eat was set at a restaurant near the work unit. Lu Qingjiu walked around the city to buy some snacks for Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu.

The town of Shuifu Village is still too small, and there are not many things, such as a kind of soft candy wrapped with jelly that Lu Qingjiu likes to eat, but I haven't seen it in the town.Although you can also buy it online, you have to go to the town every time you pick up the courier, which is really troublesome.

Lu Qingjiu bought several large bags of fudge, and when he put them in the car, he suddenly remembered something. He patted the head of his own car and said, "Do you eat candy?"

The pickup's lights came on, fanned, then honked again.

"Eat? Then where is your mouth?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

With a click, the front hood of the car opened, Lu Qingjiu looked inside, and saw that the place where the engine should have been was actually empty, and the front hood was cleaner than the rear compartment... This scene was really exciting, and Lu Qingjiu was also afraid When others saw it, they quickly tore open the bag and stuffed the candy in their hands.After stuffing it in, the front car cover was closed again. Lu Qingjiu was about to ask if he liked the minivan, when he saw his family's originally dark car began to flash in colorful colors—about the same color as jellybeans.

What does it mean?So delicious that it changes color?Lu Qingjiu hurriedly greeted the little truck, telling him not to get excited, it would be over if he was seen.

Only then did the minivan calm down, but he didn't know if it was Lu Qingjiu's illusion, he always felt that the minivan after eating the fudge was happier than usual...

At around [-]:[-] pm, Lu Qingjiu arrived at the address Zhu Miaomiao said, and seeing many familiar faces sitting in the restaurant, he walked towards the crowd with a smile on his face.

"Sake, you're back!!"

"Sake, you kid is finally willing to come back to see us!"

"Brother Lu, come and sit here!"

When everyone saw Lu Qingjiu, they greeted them enthusiastically. Lu Qingjiu has a gentle personality, is safe and responsible, and is very popular in the unit. At that time, the sudden resignation made everyone a little puzzled, and then he left the company directly. Going to the hometown in the city made everyone have countless guesses.

Lu Qingjiu sat next to Zhu Miaomiao, and said with a smile, "Hi everyone, long time no see."

Brother Yun, the old senior from before, was also at this table. When he saw Lu Qingjiu sitting down, he patted the table and said, "You boy, just left without making a sound. If you dare to come back, see if I don't force you down!"

Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "Be merciful, Brother Yun—"

Zhu Miaomiao poured wine beside him: "Stop talking, you won't be able to escape today."

A quiet life makes people feel peaceful, and the bustling world is not annoying. After drinking too much Lu Qingjiu, a faint blush appeared on Lu Qingjiu's cheeks, and a thin layer of water glowed in his eyes. Zhu Miaomiao Joking to the side that drunk Lu Qingjiu is so cute.

Lu Qingjiu said: "There's no such thing as a man being cute." He was about to continue pouring wine into his glass, but he felt that the lively crowd suddenly quieted down. Lu Qingjiu felt something. When he looked up, he saw a man walking from the door came in.

"Why is he here!" Zhu Miaomiao was still slightly drunk, but when she saw that the man was sober, she said, "Didn't you say you won't come today!"

"How would I know." Brother Yun also nodded, "But he did say he wouldn't come..."

Zhu Miaomiao glanced at Lu Qingjiu nervously, but saw that Lu Qingjiu's face didn't change much, but his eyes were slightly colder.

The man is tall and good-looking, but everyone in the company knows that he and Lu Qingjiu are not compatible.

Lu Qingjiu said: "I'm going to the bathroom." He stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Zhu Miaomiao looked at his back with a worried expression.

The man's name is Wu Xiao, and he is Lu Qingjiu's boss, but his personality and Lu Qingjiu's are simply opposites. Although he is capable, he has a very bad temper.When Lu Qingjiu first joined the company, his attitude towards Lu Qingjiu was okay, but he didn't know why, and then it got worse and worse, and even started to target Lu Qingjiu specifically, so that Zhu Miaomiao and the others all speculated that Lu Qingjiu's resignation had something to do with Wu Xiao.

Of course, Lu Qingjiu never gave an affirmative answer to this speculation.

Lu Qingjiu was washing his hands with his head lowered after going to the toilet, when he heard a cold and disgusted voice from beside him: "Why are you back, didn't I tell you to stop appearing in front of my eyes again? "

Lu Qingjiu turned his head and saw Wu Xiao, "President Wu."

Wu Xiao walked up to Lu Qingjiu, and said, "Why, you thought you were joking? What did you do after you went out to make Zhang Chuyang change his mind about you? Lu Qingjiu, if I were you, I'd be smarter and get away from this The company is far away."

Lu Qingjiu had already drank a lot, but he felt that his mind was clearer than usual. He looked at Wu Xiao and smiled lightly: "Mr. Wu, aren't you curious about where I know those things from?"

Wu Xiao looked at Lu Qingjiu warily.

"Let me tell you, okay?" Lu Qingjiu laughed. The alcohol made him lose that gentle temperament, and instead became a bit sharp. His indifferent and mocking eyes actually made Wu Xiao feel a little helpless. See.

"Don't you fucking like to gossip?" Wu Xiao said, "What else can you tell me?!"

Lu Qingjiu sneered, and pointed at him: "Come with me."

Wu Xiao didn't expect Lu Qingjiu to be so arrogant, and he was aroused by him for a while, and the two walked directly towards the outside of the restaurant one after the other, which surprised Zhu Miaomiao, who had been worried all along.

"They're going out now, what are they going to do?" Zhu Miaomiao said in horror, "I'll follow, what if Sake is beaten up, Wu Xiao is bigger than him."

Brother Yun held Zhu Miaomiao back: "Farewell, don't join in the fun. In fact, Mr. Wu is also a good person, but he has a bad temper. No matter what, the two of them will never fight."

Zhu Miaomiao said: "Why do you think Mr. Wu doesn't like sake so much..."

Brother Yun said, "How would I know?"

Wu Xiao is their immediate boss, so it's not a pleasant thing to be targeted by his immediate boss, but they still haven't figured out why Wu Xiao doesn't like Lu Qingjiu, and still targets him everywhere.

Lu Qingjiu got into his car parked outside, but Wu Xiao grabbed his hand and told him to get off.

"Why?" Lu Qingjiu became a little impatient, "I said I'll take you somewhere."

Wu Xiao said, "You're fucking drunk and driving because you want to go in, right?"

Lu Qingjiu: "..." He actually forgot about this matter, as expected, he is used to the pickup truck opening the back door for him, and many driving habits have become bad, and he has to change it in the future.

Wu Xiao sat down in the driver's cab with a gloomy face, and said, "Address?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "The entrance of the company."

Wu Xiao: "..." He wanted to say something, but in the end he held back, but his eyes were getting worse and worse, looking at Lu Qingjiu as if he was looking at a psychopath.

Lu Qingjiu didn't bother to explain to him, he drank alcohol, and now his whole body was dizzy, and he didn't think too much about it when he spoke, he said: "Mr. Wu, have you ever seen a ghost before?"

Wu Xiao was driving, when he heard Lu Qingjiu's words, he sneered: "What? You want to blame this on ghosts? Heh, are there such gossip ghosts in this world?"

Lu Qingjiu grasped the key point in Wu Xiao's words: "So you have seen it?"

Wu Xiao was silent for a moment, then nodded perfunctorily, and said, "I saw it when I was a child." He had indeed seen those dirty things, and he often saw them when he was a child. Every time he saw them, he got sick. His family members went to find them On the other hand, the person said that he is too light, and he will be fine when he grows up.This statement is also quite reliable, because he has never seen these things since he grew up.

"No wonder." Lu Qingjiu said.

Wu Xiao said, "What do you want to say?"

Lu Qingjiu didn't speak, and leaned lazily on the co-pilot: "No matter how much I tell you, you won't believe me. You'll know what I want to say when I get there."

Wu Xiao pursed his lips, and his eyes showed strong displeasure. In his eyes, Lu Qingjiu was a person who liked to gossip about others, and the calmness and gentleness on the surface were all pretended. As for why such a The impression is purely that there were a few times in the bathroom where he broke Lu Qingjiu's gossip, especially the most recent one, which even involved the company's most confidential project.Because of this, Wu Xiao asked Lu Qingjiu to resign, and said forcefully that if he didn't resign, then he would be fired.

Lu Qingjiu did not express any doubts about Wu Xiao's decision, but left cleanly.This also made Wu Xiao sure that he was not mistaken. Lu Qingjiu was indeed a villain pretending to be a gentleman. This kind of person Wu Xiao hated the most, so when he saw Lu Qingjiu, he didn't give him any good looks at all.

Until arriving at the destination, Lu Qingjiu had no intention of explaining. Wu Xiao stopped the car and asked angrily, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "Come here." He entered the building, walked to the door of the elevator, and pressed the elevator.

Wu Xiao frowned and followed behind Lu Qingjiu, he really wanted to see what kind of tricks Lu Qingjiu could play.

The elevator went all the way up to the floor of their company.Because of the dinner today, most of the employees have already left work, and a small number of those who can't leave are still working overtime.

The security guard at the entrance of the company showed a surprised expression when he saw Lu Qingjiu and Wu Xiao, and even called out Mr. Wu.

Wu Xiao nodded and said, "What on earth are you going to do?" He became a little impatient.

Lu Qingjiu ignored him, and continued to walk forward. The two walked through the long company corridor, and soon arrived at the door of the company's toilet. He pushed open the door of the toilet, and made a gesture of please to Wu Xiao.

Wu Xiao saw Lu Qingjiu's movements freeze for a moment, and he said, "What do you mean?"

Lu Qingjiu blinked: "Don't you want to know the answer, I'll give you the answer now."

Wu Xiao: "...the answer is in the toilet?" He looked at Lu Qingjiu suspiciously, but he didn't know what he thought of.An inexplicable blush appeared on her cheeks, "I don't like men."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." He was shocked by Wu Xiao's brain circuit, so he didn't speak at all, and walked in first.

Although Wu Xiao hesitated, since he had already reached the door, he followed Lu Qingjiu to the toilet.

With a huge window with folded shutters and a tiny overhead light that glowed weakly, the toilet was not a pleasant place to be anywhere.

Wu Xiao said, "I'm here, what's the answer I want?"

Lu Qingjiu took a deep breath, walked to the window, and shouted to the outside: "Old tree, old tree, are you there? Are you asleep?"

Wu Xiao: "..."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Wake up quickly, Old Tree?!"

Wu Xiao looked over with horrified eyes, he obviously thought that Lu Qingjiu had gone crazy.

Lu Qingjiu ignored Wu Xiao, and called out a few more times. About a minute or two later, a voice exactly like Lu Qingjiu's came from a toilet cubicle, and the voice replied: "Jiu'er? You came back?"

Hearing this voice, the panic in Wu Xiao's eyes almost turned into substance. His mouth was wide open, and he pointed at Lu Qingjiu tremblingly, and then pointed at the toilet cubicle where the sound was coming from, obviously asking about this. What is the situation, why is there another Lu Qingjiu talking inside.

Lu Qingjiu shrugged, walked to the toilet, stretched out his hand and opened the door of the compartment. After the door was opened, the compartment was empty, there was nothing, let alone a second Lu Qingjiu.

"What's the situation??" Wu Xiao was shocked, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed such a thing.

"Old tree." Lu Qingjiu sighed, "I've said it all, don't use my voice when you gossip, now you've made me miserable."

"Hahahaha..." The same voice as Lu Qingjiu came from the toilet again, but the voice was a bit awkward, "How did I know that someone could still hear my voice, isn't it because I didn't pay attention when I was gossiping?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "Look, you caused me to be misunderstood."

The old tree fell silent.

This old tree is a magical existence that Lu Qingjiu discovered shortly after joining the company. That time when Lu Qingjiu was going to the bathroom, he heard someone whispering some very private gossip, but Lu Qingjiu felt something was wrong, because there was no tree in the company. It was this voice, and he waited for a long time in the toilet to find out who was talking, until he found something was wrong—there was obviously no one in the toilet.

Feeling strange, Lu Qingjiu made excuses for other colleagues to go to the bathroom, but when the colleague came in, he said that he didn't hear anything.At this point, Lu Qingjiu understood that the voice did not belong to humans. Later, after he had been in the company for a long time, he discovered that the voice came from a big tree at the entrance of the company. The big tree also found that Lu Qingjiu could understand his own words. Then there is friendship.Dashu's voice before was very strange, but after making friends with Lu Qingjiu, he began to deliberately imitate Lu Qingjiu's voice. It is said that in their tree clan, this is a sign of liking someone.Lu Qingjiu didn't take it seriously at the time, but he didn't expect that it would cause trouble in the future.

Wu Xiao is obviously not as sensitive to these non-human beings as Lu Qingjiu, so he can only hear the big tree very occasionally. This big tree knows the most private gossip in the whole company, why is colleague A going to ask for leave or go for plastic surgery? A prostitute contracted a sexually transmitted disease, and so on. When talking to people, he used Lu Qingjiu's voice. Wu Xiao, who didn't know the situation, heard it, and naturally misunderstood it.

Misunderstood that Lu Qingjiu is a gossip spreader, Wu Xiao directly gave Lu Qingjiu an ultimatum, and gave him two choices, one was fired, and the other was to resign himself to save face.

Although somewhat inexplicable, Lu Qingjiu chose the latter and left the company.Thinking about it now, these things are simply unreasonable disasters.

After listening to Lu Qingjiu's explanation, Wu Xiao's expression of embarrassment grew stronger, and he coughed dryly: "Sorry, I didn't expect...there is such a thing in the world."

Lu Qingjiu said helplessly: "Do you think I look like a gossip?"

Wu Xiao: "Just... a little like?"

Lu Qingjiu: "..." Fine, as long as you are happy.

The author has something to say: Wu Xiao: Lu Qingjiu, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually tells people everywhere that I have hemorrhoids

Lu Qingjiu: I'm not, I don't...
