Fantasy Farm

Lu Qingjiu's birthday is in March, when spring is in full swing, everything is revived, and the whole world is full of vitality.Lu Qingjiu likes the busy spring, likes the warm sunshine in spring, likes the melting stream, likes the fragrance of the grass and trees in the wilderness.When grandma was still there, whenever Lu Qingjiu celebrated his birthday, she would cook a bowl of special chicken noodle soup for Lu Qingjiu.Their family's conditions are not good, and they don't have much money to buy cakes. For Lu Qingjiu, this bowl of noodles has already satisfied him.There are usually three fried golden sugar-coated eggs lying in the chicken noodle soup, which Lu Qingjiu can eat in two bites.

Later, Lu Qingjiu left Shuifu Village, and he hadn't tasted his grandma's handicrafts for a long time. He remembered that his parents wanted to take his grandma out, but his grandma didn't agree, and insisted on staying in this remote village. Here, as if waiting for something.

On the morning of NO.30, Lu Qingjiu woke up from the bed, and the first thing he did after opening his eyes was to take the wooden box by the bed.

Word locks were still hung on the wooden box, and the words on these word locks would change every day. Lu Qingjiu checked the locks as usual today, but after seeing the word lock clearly, he showed a look of astonishment.

He actually found three very familiar characters in the text lock - Lu, Qing, and Jiu, which were exactly his name.Lu Qingjiu immediately remembered what Monk Xuanyu had said to him, that his grandmother had left him a gift before he passed away, and that gift should be the wooden box in front of him.

Lu Qingjiu's hands trembled slightly, and he slowly twisted the lock, twisting the three characters Lu Qingjiu to the same horizontal line. The moment the three characters were twisted together, the wooden box made a crisp sound, tightly The locked lock just opened.

Lu Qingjiu held his breath nervously, he slowly removed the text lock, opened the wooden box, and saw the contents inside.

It was a thick notebook that looked old.

Lu Qingjiu reached out to take out the notebook, but saw a black thing falling out of the notebook. He was stunned, picked up the thing, and after getting it, he found that the thing was actually a black scale. What was obtained was somewhat similar.It's just that the scale is covered with scratches, it seems that the owner of the scale has suffered serious injuries.

Lu Qingjiu became a little confused, his previous guess was confirmed, it seems that his grandma indeed knew about non-human beings, not only did she know, she even had some communication with them.As for this piece of black scale, is it Bai Yuehu's?Or his family?But what exactly is Bai Yuehu's clansman, is it a dragon?However, there are so many types of dragons, and there are quite a few in the Book of Mountains and Seas alone...

With hesitation, Lu Qingjiu put the scales in his pocket, and opened the notebook in his hand.

Because the notebook had been placed for too long, the paper had turned an old yellow color, but the elegant characters on it were still very clear. This was Lu Qingjiu's grandma's handwriting.

Open the first page of the notebook, there are a few words written on it: Shuifu Village has water.

Lu Qingjiu frowned, revealing a look of doubt. Indeed, he also felt strange about the name of the village.After all, most of the time, the name of the village is determined according to some local characteristics. The simplest example is that there are more people with the surname Li, so this village will be called Lijia Village, but there is only one fish in Shuifu Village. There is no creek, why is it called Shuifu?

After flipping through a few more pages, Lu Qingjiu finally confirmed that the notebook in front of him seemed to be his grandma's diary.It’s just that the records are confusing, there is no specific time, I just write a few strokes on it when I think of it, but judging from the general description in it, this notebook started to record when my grandma was young, and kept it until her death by her side.

"I like this place very much, and the tenant is also very interesting, and he is also very good-looking, haha, I think he is much prettier than me." Grandma wrote, "It's just that I eat a little too much, and I feel that I can't afford it."

Lu Qingjiu's expression froze, he had a bad feeling.

Soon, as he turned more and more pages, his bad premonition came true.The content recorded in the notebook is telling Lu Qingjiu that his grandma seems to be going through the same thing as him.She also met a beautiful tenant who had a big appetite, but his temper was very different from Bai Yuehu's, gentle and considerate, "warm like the sun in spring."

"I really like spring." The girl who was young at the time fell in love quickly, "Just like him, the lunch he made today is so delicious, I asked him if he could keep cooking it for me, He nodded with a smile."

Seeing such warm words, Lu Qingjiu felt uncomfortable.Because in his memory, he had never met his grandfather.And the title of grandpa is also a taboo in the family. When he was a child, he once asked his grandma, but his grandma told him not to ask again.

"You don't have a grandfather." Grandma said, "Don't ask any more questions, dear Jiuer."

From then on, Lu Qingjiu never asked again.

Lu Qingjiu continued to look back, and found that more than half of the diary at the back had been torn off. It could be seen that when the back part was torn off, grandma was very excited, because she almost tore the diary in half.

"I know." Grandma wrote later, "I am willing to make such a choice, because at least I have him, and it is enough to have him. It turned out that they wanted me back because of this, and I was left in the Lu family. , I'm the only one, and it's my responsibility."

Lu Qingjiu didn't understand what this responsibility meant, but his heart became more and more heavy. He felt that something happened to his grandma.

There were many blank pages in the diary after that, it seemed that grandma lost interest in recording, and then some words appeared that made Lu Qingjiu particularly uneasy.

"He has changed, how could this happen."

"How this happened, I don't understand."

"They sent new tenants over, but I couldn't take it."

"Why, why... why, why, I don't want to give up, I don't want to give up."

"I am pregnant."

"everything is over."

Lu Qingjiu firmly grasped the notebook. Pregnancy before marriage was a serious crime in the past, but fortunately, because of the high status of the Lu family in Shuifu Village, she was not kicked out, but she was not allowed to go to some formal occasions, and occasionally Encountered the eyes of the villagers.After Lu Qingjiu's mother was born, her grandmother sent her out of Shuifu Village, allowing her to live and grow up outside.But later, his mother and father were busy with work and couldn't take care of the young Lu Qingjiu, so he was sent to his grandmother and spent his childhood beside this kind old man.

What really happened between Grandma and her beloved tenant?What does the change in her mouth mean?Lu Qingjiu felt as if he was standing in front of a black abyss, if he stepped forward, he would fall into it.His reason told him to stop, but his curiosity drove him on.

Lu Qingjiu turned to the last few pages of his notebook, and saw a passage left by his grandmother.

"Sake, when you see this note, I should be gone. I want to say sorry to you. The death of your parents was not an accident, but someone killed them. It's just that the murderer has already been punished. , and not voluntarily, please don’t blame him. Shuifu Village has many secrets, I don’t know how much you know, but if possible, I don’t want you to know too much.”

Lu Qingjiu looked at the text, but felt that his body was getting colder and colder.

"Our Lu family has a special bloodline. We were born to be the guardians of Shuifu Village. It's just that the Lu family's bloodline is thin and we don't know when it will be cut off. I'm glad you left Shuifu Village, and I hope you don't come back again. It's over completely. But I'm still worried that something will happen after I leave, and you will be confused when you come back here, so I left this note for you, I hope you don't open it, and don't see it."

But obviously, grandma's wish was not successful. Driven by fate, Lu Qingjiu still came back, to this remote village.

Lu Qingjiu's throat choked up, and he continued to look down.

"But if you see it, maybe it's not a bad thing. You have your own way to go, and grandma can't make decisions for you. Shuifu is a very special place, connecting the two worlds. The Lu family has guarded it for thousands of years, but What we are guarding is not the village, but the people. Sake, have you also met a new tenant? What you have to guard is him. Only when he lives can Shuifu Village continue to survive. He dies, or appears Any accident will have serious consequences. You must not be emotionally attached to the tenant, it is absolutely wrong, and the Lu family will pay a heavy price for it."

Lu Qingjiu thought, what was his grandma's mood when she wrote this sentence, did she think of the person she once loved deeply?But this is obviously contradictory. If you use all your strength to protect a person, how can you not be emotional for him?Are human beings without emotions still human?Besides, they are obviously so weak, why are they guarding the powerful tenants?He really couldn't figure it out.

Grandma obviously couldn't give a perfect answer. She left the sentence "Sake, grandma loves you. If something bad happens to you, take a look at the contents of the box." After that, the notes stopped abruptly.

The last paragraph is very scribbled. It can be seen that the person who wrote this paragraph is in a bad state. This should be the last words of grandma.

Lu Qingjiu stroked the paper with his fingers, feeling the rough texture on it. He almost understood what his grandma meant, but there were also some things he didn't understand, but it was not important at this time.He clutched the notebook tightly to his chest, got up and went to look for Bai Yuehu.

Bai Yuehu was still sleeping. He was lying on the bed with his cheeks buried in the soft quilt. His long black hair was scattered like silk on the white sheet. His face was as beautiful as a painting.

Human beings are superficial animals, and what they like has always been delicate skins.

Lu Qingjiu sat down beside Bai Yuehu, his movements were very light, but Bai Yuehu still opened his eyes, but there was a little sleepiness in them, and he didn't have any precautions, he said: "What's wrong?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "I have something to ask you."

Bai Yuehu's eyes moved to the box that Lu Qingjiu was holding: "Have you opened it?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "En."

Bai Yuehu said: "Ask."

Lu Qingjiu hesitated slightly: "Do you know what happened to my grandma?"

Bai Yuehu said: "Know some."

Lu Qingjiu immediately became nervous: "Which ones?"

"She is your grandma." Bai Yuehu said, "The Lu family who used to guard Shuifu Village."

Lu Qingjiu: "What else?"

Bai Yuehu said: "Her lover caused a catastrophe and was imprisoned." His tone was light and light, but what he said made Lu Qingjiu's body tremble slightly.

"You...do you know what trouble her former lover caused?" Lu Qingjiu continued to ask.

"I don't know." Bai Yuehu said, "These things are kept secret, what's wrong with sake?"

Lu Qingjiu smiled wryly: "He ate my parents."

Bai Yuehu frowned slightly: "Impossible."

Lu Qingjiu: "Why is it impossible?"

Bai Yuehu: "If he wants to eat, he will eat your grandma first, so why would he say something to your parents?"

Lu Qingjiu: "What do you mean? Why do you say that?" He didn't understand Bai Yuehu's logic at all.

Bai Yuehu sat up straight, and slowly approached Lu Qingjiu. There seemed to be flames burning in his eyes, making Lu Qingjiu reflexively want to back away, but Bai Yuehu grabbed his arm, and he said slowly : "What are you afraid of?"

Lu Qingjiu's throat moved slightly: "I just... don't understand what you mean."

Bai Yuehu said: "Our family, unless we are facing the enemy, we all like to eat. Your grandma was by his side at that time. If he ate it, he would eat your grandma first."

Lu Qingjiu: "...but the fact is that he ate my parents."

Bai Yuehu: "Maybe he didn't do it voluntarily."

Lu Qingjiu: "You will still be forced?"

Bai Yuehu said: "We will not be forced, but we will be polluted." He said, "Besides the water palace, everything is a foreign land."

Lu Qingjiu wanted to break free from Bai Yuehu's grasp, but he felt that Bai Yuehu's hand was like cast iron, firmly clamping his arm, almost motionless, he finally gave up, just hung his head like that Sitting beside Bai Yuehu, hugging the black wooden box tightly: "Do you know why I want to go back to Shuifu Village?"

Bai Yuehu observed Lu Qingjiu's expression, and came up with the answer: "Because of your parents?"

"Yes." Lu Qingjiu said, "I was told that my parents didn't die by accident." He looked at Bai Yuehu, "He was right."

Bai Yuehu: "Who told you?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "Old tree."

Bai Yuehu frowned.

Lu Qingjiu said: "He said that my parents should not die, and that the death in Shuifu Village was man-made and not a natural disaster."

Bai Yuehu said: "Do you believe it?"

"I didn't believe it when I came here, but now I believe it." Lu Qingjiu said, "He was right. My parents didn't die because of mudslides, but were eaten."

No wonder even Yin Xun, who was a mountain god, didn't find the bodies of his parents, only found the relics, so he should know that it wasn't an accident at all, they were eaten by something.

Lu Qingjiu looked at Bai Yuehu, his eyes were moist. He thought of the despair in his grandma's notebook, and the scene when he dealt with his parents' funeral, and asked, "Will you eat me?"

Bai Yuehu opened his mouth slightly. He knew that the best answer at this time was to deny, but his soul was expressing his desire for Lu Qingjiu. This desire made him hesitate, so much so that he could only look at the expression in Lu Qingjiu's eyes. The light dimmed.

"Can't you answer?" Lu Qingjiu said.

Bai Yuehu felt his heart tighten, this feeling was so wonderful, his heart was obviously not hurt, but why did it hurt?"I don't know," he said.

Lu Qingjiu smiled wryly.

Bai Yuehu said: "But I will try my best to restrain myself." He grabbed Lu Qingjiu's hand, sniffed his fingers carefully, his lips slid across the skin on the back of his hand, feeling the human warmth, he said , "It's hard for me to explain that feeling to you, it's like...a big piece of delicious cake is walking around in front of you, you like that piece of cake very much, you want to swallow it, but you know that you will eat it if you eat it. No more, so I have to continue to endure."

Lu Qingjiu was a little depressed at first, but he was amused by Bai Yuehu's metaphor: "But I'm not a cake."

Bai Yuehu: "Yes, you are more attractive than cake."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Are you praising my meat quality?"

Bai Yuehu: "Forget it?"

Lu Qingjiu laughed out loud, he laughed, and burst into tears: "Where is that inhuman who ate my parents now? Does he know that grandma is gone?"

"I took you to see it." Bai Yuehu said, "Do you still remember our horror story club? The dragon you saw was the dragon that ate your parents. Of course, that's what they said, I I don't believe it, it's just that the dragon doesn't know why, and it doesn't defend itself." It seems that he is certain that the dragon didn't eat Lu Qingjiu's parents, but this kind of statement is quite different from what grandma said, and Lu Qingjiu doesn't know who it is. Tell the truth.

"I'm a little uncomfortable." Lu Qingjiu said, "I didn't expect this to be my birthday present." It would be such a heavy truth.

Bai Yuehu: "It's not uncomfortable." He raised his hand and gently stroked the back of Lu Qingjiu's neck, as if comforting him the way Lu Qingjiu comforts a little fox.

Lu Qingjiu was a little itchy from his touch, and wanted to escape, but was caught tightly by Bai Yuehu.

"Will you go?" Bai Yuehu asked, "Will you leave here?"

Perhaps Bai Yuehu himself didn't realize that when he asked this question, his tone was a little nervous.

Lu Qingjiu thought for a while: "No way."

Bai Yuehu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that if I leave here, I have no other place to go." Lu Qingjiu who said this was bitter in his heart. He had already lost all his relatives, and there was no place to stay in other places.To him, Shuifu Village is not just his hometown, but more like a warm home.

There is Yin Xun who is waiting for his return, Bai Yuehu who is guarding here, a cute little pig, and a furry fox.

For Lu Qingjiu, this place is warm.

"Don't go." Bai Yuehu stretched out his arms to hug Lu Qingjiu, and gently rubbed his head against Lu Qingjiu's cheek, like a coquettish big cat, "Stay here."

Lu Qingjiu looked at Bai Yuehu's movements, but felt that the vixen in front of him was probably too excited, so he couldn't help but make the movements that the prototype often did. So, what kind of dragon is the prototype of Bai Yuehu, he originally wanted to ask , but felt that Bai Yuehu was very concerned about this matter, so he swallowed back the words in his mouth.

"Don't go." Lu Qingjiu said, "Relax, I'm going to make breakfast."

Bai Yuehu said: "Really not leaving?"

Lu Qingjiu said helplessly: "I really don't want to leave. If I lie to you, you will eat me, okay?"

Bai Yuehu said: "Alright." He was serious.

Lu Qingjiu said: "Let me digest these things first." Fortunately, he has long accepted the matter of non-human beings and is mentally prepared. If he knows these things when he comes here, he may be scared away the next day. .

"En." Bai Yuehu nodded in agreement.

Lu Qingjiu carried the box back to the bedroom, closed the box carefully, and placed it on the bedside again. He touched the box carefully, thinking about the last words his grandma left for him. If something bad happens, Just take a look at the contents of the box again... Presumably, grandma wants to comfort Lu Qingjiu with her own experience.

It's just that Lu Qingjiu only felt sad, it was hard for him to imagine his grandmother's despair when he learned that his lover had devoured their child.

After sitting in the room for a while, Lu Qingjiu adjusted his mood, got up and went out to cook.

Although he knew the sad stories that happened here before, life still had to go on, and it was his birthday today, so he didn't want his bad mood to infect others.

Walking outside the kitchen, Lu Qingjiu heard chattering voices coming from inside. He listened carefully and found that it was Zhu Miaomiao who was arguing with Yin Xun, and Jiang Buhuan was persuading him.

"Wow, can you eat what you made?" Yin Xun said, "Didn't I tell you to save two eggs? You can see that this cake can't even be shaped."

Zhu Miaomiao: "Oh mom, if I knew your cooking skills earlier, I would have ordered one. Hurry up, it's so late, the sake is about to wake up!"

Yin Xun: "Don't rush, don't rush—"

Jiang Buhuan said: "Put it here, be careful."

Lu Qingjiu glanced into the door, and saw three people with flour on their faces carefully carrying a cake, but the cake was very strange no matter how it looked, if I had to describe it... it would be like A pile of melted baba.

Lu Qingjiu: "..." How on earth did they make the cake look like this.

The three of them didn't notice Lu Qingjiu who was peeking at the door, so they finally moved the cake into the box and planned to paste it with cream. After thinking about it, Lu Qingjiu simply left the kitchen to the three of them, turned and went back to his room.

About 20 minutes later, the excited Zhu Miaomiao knocked on Lu Qingjiu's door to wake him up.Lu Qingjiu pretended that he just got up, yawned and said, "Sorry, I got up late today."

"It's okay." Zhu Miaomiao said, "Come here, we have prepared breakfast!"

Lu Qingjiu said: "You guys still made breakfast? Who did it? Could it be Yin Xun??"

Zhu Miaomiao didn't know how terrible Yin Xun's cooking skills were, so she was a little dazed: "What's wrong with Yin Xun's cooking breakfast? I think he cooks very well."

Lu Qingjiu: "...Forget it, it's nothing." He didn't tell Zhu Miaomiao that the scariest thing about Yin Xun's cooking is that the appearance is similar to the food he tasted, and the taste is quite good, but he will definitely have diarrhea after eating. It seems to use some strange ingredients.

Since everyone has been busy for a long time to celebrate his birthday, Lu Qingjiu didn't disappoint, anyway, after eating Yin Xun's food, it's just a day's diarrhea... right?
