MTL - Fantasy Farm-Chapter 47 Meng Shuiyi
During the month of the month, there was continuous light rain in Shuifu Village for several days. Different from the invigorating rain in summer, one autumn rain and one cold, the temperature dropped, Lu Qingjiu also put on two clothes. The rainy weather always makes people feel lazy. The white moon fox's chair moved into the house. It was a pity that he couldn't sit in the rocking chair in the courtyard like before.
Because Yin Xun wanted to eat sausages, Lu Qingjiu went to town to buy sausage casings and meat. After the meat was mashed, the taste was adjusted and the sausages were filled. When making sausages, you must pay attention to many small details. For example, when filling meat into the casing, you have to pierce the casing with a needle to release the air inside. This will help the moisture in the sausage evaporate and become easier to dry. The finished sausage It should be air-dried for a few days and then smoked and roasted with fruit trees.
In just such a month, Lu Qingjiu’s kitchen was covered with bacon sauce and sausages. Because there were too many things to fit, he cleaned out a room again, dedicated to hanging these. For the meat, a layer of newspaper is deliberately laid on the floor to prevent the fat from dripping on the ground when the meat is dried.
Just when Lu Qingjiu was thinking about what he would almost like in winter, two guests came to the old house.
When Lu Qingjiu heard the knock on the door, he thought it was Li Xiaoyu next door. Thanks to the efforts of Xiaohei and Xiaohua, Li Xiaoyu's grades have improved a lot recently. Because of the improvement in grades, Li Xiaoyu ran to their home more diligently and came over almost every day after school. But when Lu Qingjiu opened the door, he didn't see Li Xiaoyu. Instead, he saw Pang Ziqi, who had almost died because of the rain, standing at the door holding an umbrella. Behind him was a man with a blank face in black. The man was a head taller than Pang Ziqi, who was 1.8 meters tall. Although he looked handsome, his rock-like temperament made him feel full. Exudes the breath that strangers should not enter.
"Lu Qingjiu." Pang Ziqi said, "what are you doing?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "I'm cooking...Are you ill?"
"Okay." Pang Ziqi answered, but his eyes often looked inside the house, he said, "Don't you ask me to go in and sit?"
Lu Qingjiu made a please gesture. At this moment, Bai Yuehu went to the field, and Yin Xun went to take a nap before he returned. He was left alone in the house.
Pang Ziqi and the tall man behind him entered the house. They were observing Lu Qingjiu, and Lu Qingjiu was also observing them. It seemed that this man should be Pang Ziqi’s colleague and a policeman, but I don’t know why Pang Ziqi came here this time. .
"Sit down, I will pour you a cup of tea." Lu Qingjiu greeted them to sit down in the house.
Pang Ziqi said: "No, in fact, I'm here to thank you for coming over this time."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Thank you?"
Pang Ziqi said: "You helped me deal with the thing that was in my body before, right?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Pang Ziqi laughed: "Don't lie. Since you can see these things, you must have your own way. I didn't plan to hand you over, just ask you."
Lu Qingjiu sat down opposite Pang Ziqi without speaking.
Pang Ziqi pointed to the man beside him who had been silent, and introduced: "This is my colleague, Meng Shuiyi."
Meng Shuiyi nodded to Lu Sake as a greeting.
Lu Qingjiu looked at Pang Ziqi: "You came this time to tell me this?"
Pang Ziqi shook his head: "No, I am actually a little worried about you. Since you can see those things, you should also feel that you are infected with the breath of a fierce beast. I think this is not a good thing for an ordinary human."
Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "You came here because you were worried about me?"
Pang Ziqi smiled awkwardly: "This is one of the reasons, and there is another reason. The above asked me to ask...Where did the corpse of the rain master's concubine go?"
Lu Qingjiu was a little curious: "How do you know I couldn't find it?"
Pang Ziqi said: "I don't know, isn't this here to ask you?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "If I say I don't know, do you believe me?"
Pang Ziqi sighed: "Naturally I don't believe it."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Then what else do you ask me to do?"
Pang Ziqi said, "Isn't this routine? If you really don't want to say it, I won't force it."
His attitude is pretty good. Lu Qingjiu can also see that his temper is actually quite violent, but now that Lu Qingjiu has saved his life, it is impossible for him to get angry in front of Lu Qingjiu, and if it had not been dealt with quickly at that time The rain concubine, looking at the efficiency of Pang Ziqi and their department, I am afraid that Pang Ziqi has been cremated long ago.
After knowing Pang Ziqi's coming, Lu Qingjiu felt that he and Pang Ziqi had nothing to say. He couldn't tell Pang Ziqi about the white moon fox, so he stiffly refused: "Sorry, I have nothing to say."
Pang Ziqi sighed. He looked around the house for a week, and finally his eyes fell on the chicken in the yard who was sleeping in the chicken coop. He seemed to have noticed something strange. There was a bit of surprise in his eyes, and said: "You... know What is around you?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "I know."
Pang Ziqi looked complicated: "Aren't you afraid?"
Lu Qingjiu asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Pang Ziqi: "Naturally I am afraid that he will eat you."
Lu Qingjiu said: "If he wants to eat it, he has eaten it a long time ago. Why wait until now. Besides, if he wants to eat me, can you save me?"
This is quite reasonable. Pang Ziqi's eyes smiled: "I don't know if I can save you, but I will always try." Since he is a policeman, he must perform his duties as a policeman. He thinks if Lu Sake was tricked into living with the beast without knowing it, so he naturally has the obligation to remind him, but now it seems that Lu Qingjiu knows what he is doing and is full of trust in the beast.
"Thank you, don't worry about me." Lu Qingjiu said, "We get along very well."
Pang Ziqi nodded.
The two were talking. After planting the field, the white moon fox wearing a raincoat and a hat pushed in from outside the house. Lu Qingjiu noticed that the moment the white moon fox entered, Meng Shuiyi, who was originally very relaxed, suddenly straightened his back. Suddenly became nervous.
Lu Qingjiu moved his eyes away from him, smiled and looked at Bai Yuehu: "Yuehu, you are back."
Bai Yuehu didn't say a word, and placed the rain-stained basket on the table, glanced at Pang Ziqi and Meng Shuiyi, and nodded.
"There is freshly steamed corn cake in the pot." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'm afraid it will be cold and keep on a small fire. Go and eat."
Bai Yuehu hummed, turned and walked towards the kitchen, but before leaving, he cast an unsalty look at Meng Shuiyi, and Meng Shuiyi suddenly became more nervous.
Pang Ziqi was the one with the least sensitive inspiration among them. He didn't notice the undercurrent surging in it at all. He was still watching the white moon fox, obviously he was a little curious about this handsome-looking man.
It wasn't until Bai Yuehu entered the kitchen that Meng Shuiyi breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Pang Ziqi, "Let's go."
Pang Ziqi was dumbfounded: "Ah? Why are you leaving suddenly?"
Meng Shui said: "Almost everything is clear."
Pang Ziqi said: "Is it clear? What is clear, I don't know anything yet..."
Meng Shuiyi stood up and raised his chin: "Go."
Pang Ziqi wanted to say something, but seeing Meng Shuiyi's dignified expression, it didn't seem to be a joke, so she could only say goodbye to Lu Qingjiu, and the two of them left with their umbrellas.
"Hey, why are you leaving in such a hurry? We haven't asked anything yet." As soon as he left the house, Pang Ziqi asked Meng Shuiyi suspiciously. It was the first time that he saw Meng Shuiyi look so panicked.
"Ask again, you are afraid that you are going to ask people's stomach." Meng Shui Yi said coldly, "Don't come here in the future, this Lu Qing wine was not caused by us."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Pang Ziqi didn't understand, "Isn't Lu Qingjiu a human?"
"Yes." Meng Shui said, "But have you ever seen humans who raise fierce beasts?"
Pang Ziqi finally tasted it: "You mean... that man named White Moon Fox is a fierce beast? Is there such a beautiful fierce beast?"
Meng Shuiyi: "What do you think all beasts look like?"
Pang Ziqi said: "At least it's about the same as you, so hard to bite."
Meng Shui Yi: "..."
Pang Ziqi: "Haha, I'm just kidding."
Meng Shuiyi glared at Pang Ziqi, but didn't care about him anymore. After they got in the car, they left Shuifu Village. It seemed that they would not come again in a short time.
Besides, Lu Qingjiu sent Pang Ziqi and Meng Shuiyi away. When he was about to do something, he suddenly noticed a red mark on the corner of his clothes. At first he thought it was the paint he accidentally contaminated, but he could smell it carefully. After smelling it, he found that the red trace was actually blood.
Where does the blood come from? Lu Qingjiu was stunned. He checked his body and around the table, and confirmed that there was no blood stained anywhere except the corner of his clothes.
"It's weird." Lu Qingjiu frowned at the corner of his clothes, "Where did it come from..."
"No need to look for it." The White Moon Fox slowly came out of the kitchen after eating the corn cake. He still held a piece in his hand and was chewing slowly, "That Meng Shui remains is not a human being."
"Not a human?" Lu Qingjiu said, "What is that?"
"It's the Mengtu clan." Bai Yuehu replied.
Lu Qingjiu, who has already been familiar with Shan Hai Jing, understood what happened when he heard the word Meng Tu. Meng Tu is also one of the gods in Shan Hai Jing. It is said that people in ancient times must go to Meng Tu and tell themselves. The person who lied had blood stains on his clothes. This was Meng Tu's method of judging the case, and it also avoided the situation of wronging people.
There is no doubt that the blood on the corners of Lu Qingjiu's clothes is proof that he lied. He recalled the conversation with Pang Ziqi just now, and felt that it didn’t matter if his lie was exposed, so he said with relief: "Yes. Is it clean?"
Bai Yuehu saw the blood on the corner of Lu Qingjiu's clothes: "It can't be washed clean."
"Ah, can't it be cleaned?" Lu Qingjiu was a little surprised. The shirt he was wearing was his favorite. It was a pity that he couldn't wear it like this.
Baiyuehu heard Lu Qingjiu's words, said nothing, and did not speak again.
Lu Qingjiu thought he was comforting himself, and he didn't take this sentence to heart. He took off his clothes and tried to wash it. As Baiyuehu said, the blood on his clothes didn't move, although he didn't see much. But the clothes can be considered ruined.
Although it was a pity for the clothes, Lu Qingjiu didn't tangle for too long. It's really impossible to cut the clothes short and wear them for the little fox. The winter is about to pass, and it would be nice to prepare a few more clothes for the little fox.
Lu Qingjiu has always had a big heart, and he quickly forgot about it, but within a few days, someone came again. This time, it was Meng Shuiyi and an old man who seemed to be quite old. .
As soon as the two of them entered the house, their attitude was very respectful, and the old man called Mr. Bai several times.
Bai Yuehu glanced at the old man, and continued to lower his head to gnaw on the chestnut, without intending to speak.
"Mr. Bai, I am really embarrassed, this child is young and not very sensible." The old man respectfully said, "I brought him here to apologize for you."
Meng Shuiyi said by the side: "Mr. Bai, I'm really sorry." He looked at Lu Qingjiu again, and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry for what happened before. I brought you new clothes specially. I hope you I can accept it." He said, he actually took out a few shirts from the backpack behind him and placed them carefully on the table in front of them. These shirts were exactly the same as Lu Qingjiu's blood-stained shirts, and they were obviously bought specially.
Lu Qingjiu didn't expect such a scene at all. He was stunned for a moment and was about to refuse, but saw that the old man cast a pleading look at him...He was asking Lu Qingjiu to accept these gifts.
Lu Qingjiu glanced at Bai Yuehu, vaguely understood something, he said: "Then...thank you."
As soon as he said this, the expressions of Meng Shuiyi and the old man relaxed slightly.
"Shui Yi, you go out for a while, I have something to talk to Mr. Bai alone." The old man said.
Meng Shuiyi nodded, turned and left the house. Lu Qingjiu also said that he was going to feed the chickens and went out with Meng Shuiyi, leaving the house to Baiyue Fox and the old man.
Standing in the courtyard, Meng Shuiyi watched Lu Sake serve the chickens to eat rice, and said, "Mind if I smoke a cigarette?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "Please."
Meng Shui left a cigarette and took a sip: "Mr. Lu, I was offended before." When Pang Ziqi told him, he thought Lu Qingjiu was just an ordinary human being entangled in a beast, so he didn't think much. But when he arrived at Lu Qingjiu's residence and saw Bai Yuehu, he realized that he was wrong.
Lu Qingjiu was indeed an ordinary human, but it was by no means a fierce beast that entangled him. It was someone Meng Shui could not afford to provoke--no, to be precise, it was the Mengtu clan, who could not provoke him.
Sure enough, within a few days, his grandfather called him back, and after a reprimand, he asked him how he got into the white moon fox. After thinking about it, he realized that he seemed to have offended Lu Qingjiu.
After that, it became what it is now. His grandfather brought him here with trembling trembling, for fear that he would really annoy the white moon fox.
Meng Shuiyi looked at Lu Qingjiu, and Lu Qingjiu looked at his chicken. Neither of them spoke.
Just when the atmosphere was freezing, Yin Xun, who came for dinner, walked in from outside and yawned. When he saw Meng Shuiyi, he stayed for a while: "Drink, who is this?"
"This is Meng Shui's legacy." Lu Qingjiu said, "Pang Ziqi's colleague is also a policeman."
"Oh." Yin Xun replied uninterestedly. He said, "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Don't go in first. Baiyue Fox is talking with people. Let's bear with it for a while. Zhu Miaomiao sent crabs over again and steamed them for you to eat." Eat female crabs in September and male crabs in October. , These things are the most seasonal. After that time, the crab paste will not be so plump.
"Okay." Yin Xun rubbed his nose and found a place to sit down.
Not a talkative person, Meng Shuiyi stood aside and smoked quietly, listening to the conversation between the two.
Lu Qingjiu glanced at Meng Shuiyi and saw that he didn't mean to speak, he started chatting with Yin Xun at will.
Lu Qingjiu said, "Do you like crabs?"
Yin Xun smiled and said, "I like it. Crabs are delicious. I haven't eaten them before you came."
Lu Qingjiu said, "How did you spend your time in Shuifu Village before I came."
Yin Xun said blankly: "How about what? I think it's pretty good." He laughed as usual, "Oh, don't worry about me, I'm also an adult, OK? A person has his own way of life. , I always have fun on my own when you are away, and I am very happy."
Lu Qingjiu watched Yin Xun say nothing. He saw that after Yin Xun said this, a bright red blood stain was smudged on the corner of his clothes.
Yin Xun didn't notice it, and was still smiling cheerfully.
Lu Qingjiu's voice lowered: "Then what if I return to the city one day?"
Yin Xun scratched his head: "As long as you are happy, you can go anywhere."
Lu Qingjiu said, "What about you?"
Yin Xun said, "Me? I will continue to stay in Shuifu Village. I really like it here."
The blood stains on the corners of the clothes are expanding, and Yin Xun's smile is particularly ironic.
Lu Qingjiu looked at his friend and sighed: "I'm not going anywhere, I have two mouths at home, besides... I really treat you as my son." After that, his clothes were still dry and clean. Net, no blood stains.
Yin Xun said angrily: "You **** take advantage of me again!!"
Yin Xun didn't know what happened, but Meng Shuiyi understood the meaning of Yin Xun's blood on the corner of his clothes. He glanced at Lu Qingjiu and found that this man did not seem to be as harmless as he had shown. Lu Qingjiu was more demanding than he thought. interesting.
The two talked for a while, and Meng Shuiyi's grandfather and Bai Yuehu had almost talked over there. The old man quickly came out and said goodbye to Lu Qingjiu and left with Meng Shuiyi.
"That, I'm sorry." Lu Qingjiu stopped Meng Shuiyi, "Can you leave a contact information?"
Meng Shui was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and left his phone number to Lu Qingjiu. Although he didn't know what Lu Qingjiu was going to do, it was obviously not a bad thing to have a good relationship with him.
After the two left, Lu Qingjiu went into the house and picked up his shirt, and handed it to Yin Xun for him to change it.
Yin Xun was inexplicable: "Why do you change your clothes?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "If you ask you to change it, you can change it. There are so many words from nowhere."
Yin Xun had to take off his clothes, he took it off, and Lu Qingjiu took it and knead it into a ball, covering the blood-stained corner.
Bai Yuehu saw Lu Qingjiu's movements, his lips pursed slightly, he and Lu Qingjiu looked at each other for a moment, and both understood the meaning of the other's eyes.
Yin Xun's figure is almost the same as Lu Qingjiu's. The shirt is just right when he wears it. He looks left and right, and said, "Why do you buy so many identical clothes?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "What do you know, this is a parent-child outfit."
Yin Xun: "...Fuck."
Lu Qingjiu laughed. He didn't plan to wear the clothes again. Instead, he gave Yin Xun all the shirts and asked him to take them back and wash them before putting them on again. Although Yin Xun was inexplicable, he accepted the gift with Lu Qingjiu's insistence and took back all the clothes left by Meng Shui.
"I'll take these clothes for the little fox." Lu Qingjiu took away the clothes that Yin Xun had changed. Yin Xundao didn't care about it, just wondering why Lu Qingjiu bought so many shirts, and every one was the same. ...
Bai Yuehu quietly watched the interaction between the two of them, but did not speak until Yin Xun left after dinner at night, and he said, "Don't you keep one for yourself?"
"Don't stay." Lu Qingjiu said, "I don't seem to like it that much either."
"What lie did he tell?" Bai Yuehu noticed that Lu Qingjiu seemed to be in low mood, and knew that it must have something to do with the lie that Yin Xun told.
"He said he was very happy to stay in Shuifu Village before," Lu Qingjiu said.
The White Moon Fox was silent.
"What about you, are you happy to be here?" Lu Qingjiu looked at this beautiful and mysterious tenant. After spending this time with him, he also saw that the white moon fox had no status in the non-human world. In general, he could have lived more freely, why should he be confined to this remote mountain village?
Bai Yuehu said lightly: "Meng Shui remains here." The implication was that even if he lied, Lu Qingjiu couldn't tell.
Lu Qingjiu laughed blankly: "Do you have to lie?"
Bai Yuehu said: "Why not?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "I thought you disdain to lie."
Bai Yuehu said: "I have lived for so many years, and I have seen people who never lie, but they are not as good as they expected."
Lu Qingjiu sighed and stopped talking. This is the case. Sometimes, white lies can actually make people happier than cruel truths. He said, "So you don't actually like it here?"
Bai Yuehu smiled when he heard the words, and the corners of his mouth evoked a bewildering arc: "No, I like it here."
Lu Qingjiu frowned at him.
"Look, I'm telling the truth, but you don't believe it." Bai Yuehu said, "but I'm serious, at least for now, I like it here."
Lu Qingjiu gave up on the matter of continuing to struggle with Bai Yuehu, he spread his hands: "Okay, it seems that this question is meaningless, let's say something meaningful."
Bai Yuehu raised his eyebrows and motioned to Lu Qingjiu.
Lu Qingjiu said: "For example, what do you want to eat at noon tomorrow? It's starting to be cold today. I want to order some more lamb, but the refrigerator at home is not enough... Just go buy a freezer tomorrow..." Sui Sui said. Suddenly, it was full of mortal fireworks.
Baiyue Fox said: "You don't need to stock up lamb. When it's the coldest, it's also when the meat is the most fat, I just grab a few and come back."
Lu Qingjiu: "...So what we ate before was green onion, right?" Onion is an animal in Shanhaijing. It looks like a sheep, but its fur is red, and it is said that it can be cured Deafness-Lu Qingjiu lamented that by virtue of his familiarity with Shanhaijing, he could communicate with Baiyuehu seamlessly, and he didn't need to popularize it again.
White Moon Fox blinked: "Is it delicious?"
Lu Qingjiu ruthlessly lost his conscience: "It's really fragrant."
The Baiyue Fox smiled brightly.
