Fantasy Farm
Chapter 63: birthday present
Lu Qingjiu’s birthday is March when spring is strong, everything is revived, and the whole world is full of life. Lu Qingjiu likes busy spring, the warm sunshine of spring, the melting stream, and the aroma of the vegetation in the wilderness. When grandma was still there, as long as Lu Qingjiu celebrated her birthday, she would cook a bowl of special chicken noodle soup for Lu Qingjiu. The conditions in their family are not good, and they don't have much money to buy cakes. For Lu Qingjiu, this bowl of noodles has made him very satisfied. In chicken noodle soup, there are usually three fried golden candy eggs, which Lu Qingjiu can eat in two bites.
Later, Lu Qingjiu left Shuifu Village and did not taste his grandma's craftsmanship for a long time. He remembered that his parents wanted to take his grandma out at the time, but his grandma didn't agree with him. He decided to stay in this remote village. Inside, it seems to be waiting for something.
On the morning of the 30th, Lu Qingjiu woke up from bed, and the first thing he did after opening his eyes was to take the wooden box by the bed.
There are still text locks hanging on the wooden boxes, and the text on these text locks changes every day. Lu Qingjiu checked the locks as usual today, but after seeing the text locks clearly, he was surprised.
He actually found three very familiar characters in the text lock-Lu, Qing, and Jiu, which were his names. Lu Qingjiu immediately remembered what the monk Xuanyu had said to him. Before his death, his grandma left him a gift. 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 of Lu Qingjiu to the same horizontal line. The moment the three characters were twisted, the wooden box made a clear sound, tightly The locked lock was opened.
Lu Qingjiu held his breath nervously, slowly took off the text lock, opened the wooden box, and saw the contents inside.
It was a thick notebook, and it looked a little old.
Lu Qingjiu stretched out his hand and took out the notebook, but saw that a black object fell out of the notebook. He was stunned and picked it up. After starting, he discovered that the thing was actually a black scale. The results are somewhat similar. It's just that the scales are covered with scratches, and it seems that the owner of the scales has been seriously injured.
Lu Qingjiu became a little confused. His previous guesses were confirmed. It seems that his grandma did know about non-human things, not only knew, but even had some social interactions with them. As for this black scale, is it the white moon fox? Or his family? But what exactly are the people of the white moon fox? Is it a dragon? However, there are so many types of dragons, and there are many in the classics of mountains and seas...
With hesitation, Lu Qingjiu put the scales into his pocket and opened the notebook in his hand.
The notebook has been left for too long, and the paper has turned old yellow, but the beautiful font on it is still very clear. This is exactly the handwriting of Grandma Lu Qingjiu.
Turning to the first page of the notebook, there are a few words written on it: There is water in Shuifu Village.
Lu Qingjiu frowned, showing a look of doubt. Indeed, he had 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 surnamed Li, so this village will be called Lijiacun, but Shuifu Village has only one fish. Why is there no stream called Shuifu?
After flipping a few pages back, Lu Qingjiu finally confirmed that the notebook in front of him seemed to be his grandma's diary. It’s just that the record is rather chaotic and there is no specific time. I just write a few pens on it when I think of it, but judging from the rough description inside, this notebook was recorded from when grandma was young, and it was kept until she died. By her side.
"I like it very much, the tenants are also very interesting, and he looks good, haha, I think he looks much better than me." Grandma wrote, "It's just that I eat a little bit, and I feel a little can't afford it."
Lu Qingjiu's expression solidified, and he had a bad feeling.
Soon, as he turned more and more pages, his bad hunch came true. The content recorded in the notebook tells Lu Qingjiu that his grandma seems to be experiencing the same thing as him. She also met a beautiful tenant, who had a big appetite, but his temper was very different from that of a white moon fox, gentle and considerate, "warm like the sun in spring."
"I really like spring." The girl who was still young at that time soon fell in love. "Just like him, the lunch he made today is so delicious. I asked him if he could keep making it for me. He smiled and nodded."
Seeing such warm words, Lu Qingjiu felt uncomfortable in his heart. Because in his memory, he had never seen his grandfather. The name grandfather is also a taboo in the family. When he was a child, he once asked grandma, but grandma told him not to ask again.
"You don't have a grandfather." Grandma said, "Don't ask any more questions, good wine."
Since then, Lu Sake never asked again.
Lu Qingjiu continued to look back and found that most of the diary at the back had been torn off. It was obvious that grandma was very excited when he tore off the back part, because he almost tore the diary in half.
"I know." Grandma wrote afterwards, "I am willing to make this choice, because I have him at least, and he is enough. It turned out that they wanted me to come back because of this, and I was left in the Lu family. , I am the only one, this is my responsibility."
Lu Qingjiu didn't understand what this responsibility meant, but his mood became heavier. He felt that something had happened to grandma.
Afterwards, the diary was blank for many pages, it seemed that grandma had lost interest in recording, and then there appeared some words that made Lu Qingjiu especially uneasy.
"He changed, how could this happen."
"How could this happen, I don't understand."
"They sent new tenants, but I can't accept it."
"Why, why...why, why, I don't want to give up, I don't want to give up."
"I'm pregnant."
"everything is over."
Lu Qingjiu clung to the notebook tightly. It was a serious crime in the past to get pregnant when she was unmarried, but fortunately, because the Lu family’s status in Shuifu Village was very high, she was not driven out, but she could not go to some formal occasions, and occasionally Encountered the villagers' eyes. After Lu Qingjiu's mother was born, her grandmother sent her out of Shuifu Village to let her live and grow up outside. But later his mother and father were busy at work and couldn't take care of the young Lu Qingjiu. He was sent to his grandmother again and spent his childhood with this kind old man.
What 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, and when he stepped forward, he would fall into it. His reason told him he should stop, but his curiosity drove him to move on.
Lu Qingjiu turned the notebook to the last few pages and saw a paragraph left by his grandmother.
"Sake, when you read this notebook, I should have been gone. I want to say sorry to you. The death of your parents is not an accident. Your grandfather is the murderer. But he has got what he deserves. Punishment is not voluntary. Please don't blame him. Shuifu Village has many secrets. I don't know how much you know, but if you can, 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 guardian of Shuifu Village. It's just that the Lu family's bloodline is thin and I don't know when it will be cut off. I am very happy that you left Shuifu Village and hope that you will not come back again. It's over completely. But I am still worried about what will happen after I leave. You will be confused when you come back here, so I left you this note. I hope you don't open it and don't see it."
But obviously, grandma's prayer did not succeed. Driven by fate, Lu Qingjiu returned and returned to this remote village.
Lu Qingjiu choked his throat and continued to look down.
"But if you see it, maybe it's not a bad thing. You have a way to go. Grandma can't make a decision for you. The Shui Mansion is a very special place that connects the two worlds. The Lu family has been guarded here for thousands of years, but We are not guarding the village, but people. Sake, did you also meet a new tenant? It is him that you want to guard. Only if he lives, Shuifu Village can continue to be preserved. He died or appeared Any accident will have serious consequences. You must not be emotional with the tenant. This is wrong, and the Lu family will pay a heavy price for it."
Lu Qingjiu thought, how did his grandma feel when he wrote this passage? Did he think of the person she loved so much? But this is obviously contradictory. If you use all your strength to protect a person, how can you not be emotional? Are human beings without feelings still human? Besides, they are obviously so weak, why are they guarding the powerful tenants? He really couldn't understand.
Grandma obviously couldn't give the perfect answer either. She was left with the sentence "Sake, grandma loves you. If you encounter something bad, look at the contents of the box more." After that, the notes stopped abruptly.
The last paragraph is very scribbled, and it can be seen that the person who wrote this paragraph is in a bad state. This should be my grandma's last words.
Lu Qingjiu rubbed the paper with his fingers and felt the rough touch on it. He almost understood what his grandmother meant, but there were some things he didn't understand, but it didn't matter anymore. He put the notebook firmly on his chest, got up and went to find Bai Yuehu.
Bai Yuehu was still sleeping. He was lying on the bed with his cheeks buried in the soft bedding. His long black hair was draped like silk on the white sheets. His face was beautiful as a painting.
Human beings are superficial animals, they like, and they have always been delicate skins.
Lu Qingjiu sat down beside Bai Yuehu, his movements were very light, but Bai Yuehu still opened his eyes, only with some sleepiness in his eyes, and without any precaution, he said, "What's wrong?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "I have something to ask you."
Bai Yuehu looked at the box Lu Qingjiu was holding: "Did you open it?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "Yeah."
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?"
"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 has gotten into a catastrophe and was imprisoned." His tone was light, but what he said made Lu Qingjiu's body tremble slightly.
"You...do you know what happened to her lover?" Lu Qingjiu continued to ask.
"I don't know." Baiyuehu said, "These things are kept secret, sake, what's wrong?"
Lu Qingjiu smiled bitterly: "He ate my parents."
White Moon Fox frowned slightly: "Impossible."
Lu Qingjiu: "Why is it impossible?"
Baiyue Fox: "If he wants to eat, he will eat your grandma first, so why would he slurp against your parents?"
Lu Qingjiu: "What do you mean? Why do you say that?" He didn't understand Baiyuehu's logic at all.
Bai Yuehu sat upright, and slowly approached Lu Qingjiu, his eyes seemed to be burning, making Lu Qingjiu reflexively want to retreat, but Bai Yuehu grabbed his arm, and he slowly said : "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 face the enemy, we like to eat. Your grandma was by his side at that time, if he eats, he will also eat your grandma first."
Lu Qingjiu: "...but the fact is that he ate my parents."
Bai Yuehu: "Maybe he didn't volunteer."
Lu Qingjiu: "You will still be forced?"
Baiyuehu said: "We will not be forced, but we will be polluted." He said, "Outside the water mansion, all are foreign."
Lu Qingjiu wanted to break free from Baiyuehu's hand, but he felt that Baiyuehu's hand was like cast iron, firmly stuck in his arm, almost motionless, he finally gave up, hanging his head just like that. Sitting next to Bai Yuehu, he held the black wooden box tightly: "Do you know why I am going back to Shuifu Village?"
Bai Yuehu observed Lu Sake's expression and came up with the answer: "Because of your parents?"
"Yes." Lu Qingjiu said, "Someone told me that my parents didn't die by accident." He looked at Bai Yuehu, "He was right."
White Moon Fox: "Who told you?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "Old tree."
Baiyue Fox frowned.
Lu Qingjiu said: "He said that my parents should not be killed. It was man-made and not a natural disaster to die in Shuifu Village."
Bai Yuehu said: "You believe it?"
"I didn't believe it when I came, but I believe it now." Lu Qingjiu said, "He was right. My parents didn't die because of mudslides, but were eaten."
No wonder that Yin Xun, a mountain god, didn't find the bodies of his parents at the time. He only found the relics. He should know-this was not an accident at all, they were eaten by something.
Lu Qingjiu looked at the white moon fox, with moist water in his eyes. He thought of the despair in his grandma's notebook, thought of the scene when he was dealing with the funeral of his parents, 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 telling his desire for Lu Qingjiu. This desire made him hesitate, and he could only look at 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 injured, but why did it hurt? He said: "I don't know."
Lu Qingjiu smiled bitterly.
Bai Yuehu said: "But I will try my best to restrain it." He grabbed Lu Qingjiu's hand and sniffed his fingers carefully. His lips glided across the skin on the back of his hand, feeling the human temperature, he said "It’s hard for me to explain the 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 and want to swallow it, but you know that you just eat it. No more, so I have to continue to bear it."
Lu Qingjiu was a little depressed, but he was amused by Bai Yuehu's metaphor: "But I am not a cake."
Bai Yuehu: "Yes, you are more attractive than cake."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Are you complimenting my meat quality?"
White Moon Fox: "Forget it?"
Lu Qingjiu laughed. He smiled and burst into tears: "Where is the non-human that ate my parents? Does he know that grandma is gone?"
"I took you to see it." Baiyuehu said, "Remember our horror story? The dragon you saw was the dragon that ate your parents. Of course, they said that. I I don’t believe it, but the dragon doesn’t know why, and he doesn’t argue for himself.” It seems that he is the parents who are sure that the dragon did not eat Lu Qingjiu, but this statement is very different from that of his grandma, and Lu Qingjiu doesn’t know who he is. It's the truth.
"I feel a little uncomfortable." Lu Qingjiu said, "I didn't expect that the birthday present would be this." It would be such a heavy truth.
Baiyue Fox: "It's not uncomfortable." He raised his hand and gently stroked the back of Lu Sake's neck, as if he was comforting him with Lu Sake soothing the little fox.
Lu Qingjiu was itchy when he touched him, and he wanted to avoid him, but Baiyue Fox held it tightly.
"Will you leave?" Bai Yuehu asked, "Will you leave here?"
Perhaps Bai Yuehu didn't even realize it, but when he asked this question, his tone was a little nervous.
Lu Qingjiu thought for a while: "No way."
Bai Yuehu lightly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems to leave here, I have no other place to go." Lu Qingjiu who said this was bitter in his heart. He had lost all his relatives a long time ago, and there was no place to stay in other places. For him, Shuifu Village is not only his hometown, but also a warm home.
There are Yin Xun waiting for his return, the white moon fox guarding here, the cute pigs, and the fluffy foxes.
For Lu Qingjiu, it is warm here.
"Don't go." Baiyue Fox reached out and hugged Lu Qingjiu. He gently rubbed Lu Qingjiu's cheek with his head, like a big cat, "Stay here."
Lu Qingjiu looked at the movements of the white moon fox, but felt that the vixen in front of him was probably too emotional and could not help making the movements that the prototype often did. Therefore, he wanted to ask what kind of dragon the prototype of the white moon fox was. , But felt that Baiyue Fox was very concerned about this, so he swallowed the words back.
"Don't go." Lu Qingjiu said, "You let go, I'm going to make breakfast."
Bai Yuehu said, "Really not leaving?"
Lu Qingjiu said helplessly: "I really don't leave. If I lie to you, you just eat me, okay?"
Bai Yuehu said: "It's okay." He was serious.
Lu Qingjiu said, "Let me digest these things first." Fortunately, he had accepted the non-human things a long time ago, and he was psychologically prepared. If he knew this, he might be scared off the next day. .
"Yeah." Bai Yuehu nodded in agreement.
Lu Qingjiu carried the box back to the bedroom, carefully closed the box, and then placed it on the bedside again. He touched the box carefully, thinking about the last words left by his grandmother. If something bad happens, Just look at the contents of the box... I want to come to Grandma because I want to comfort Lu Qingjiu with my own experience.
It's just that Lu Qingjiu felt sad. It was hard for him to imagine the despair of his grandma when he learned that his lover had swallowed their children.
After sitting in the room for a long time, Lu Qingjiu adjusted his mood and got up and went out to cook.
Although he knew the sad stories that had happened here before, life still had to go on, and it was his birthday today, and he didn't want to spread his bad emotions to others.
Walking out of the kitchen, Lu Qingjiu heard the sound of chirping from inside. He listened carefully and found that Zhu Miaomiao was arguing with Yin Xun, and Jiang Buhuan was beside him to persuade.
"Wow, can you eat this cake!" Yin Xun said, "I asked you to put two less eggs, you see, this cake won't be shaped anymore."
Zhu Miaomiao: "Oh mom, I knew your cooking skills a long time ago so I will order one, hurry up, hurry up, it's so late, the sake is about to get up!"
Yin Xun: "Don't urge, don't urge--"
Jiang Buhuan said: "Put it here, be careful."
Lu Qingjiu glanced in the door, and saw three people with flour on their faces carefully carrying a cake, but the cake was very strange in all its shapes. If you had to describe it... it was like Tuo ba ba that melted away.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." How did they make the cake this way?
The three of them didn't find Lu Qingjiu who was peeking at the door, and finally moved the cake to the box, planning to put the cream on it. Lu Qingjiu thought about it, and simply left the kitchen to the three of them, and turned back to his room.
About twenty minutes later, Zhu Miaomiao with an excited expression 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 on, we have prepared breakfast!"
Lu Qingjiu said, "You still made breakfast? Who made it? It's not Yin Xun, right?"
Zhu Miaomiao didn't know how terrifying Yin Xun's cooking skills were, and he was a little at a loss: "What happened to Yin Xun's cooking breakfast? I think his cooking is pretty good."
Lu Qingjiu: "...Forget it, nothing." He didn't tell Zhu Miaomiao. The scariest thing about Yin Xun's cooking is that his appearance is similar to the food he tastes, but the taste is terribly unpalatable, as if he used some strange ingredients. .
Since everyone was busy for a long time to celebrate his birthday, Lu Qingjiu was not disappointed. Anyway, eating Yinxun's food was just a day's stomach... right?
