Chapter 2: Little Flower Back then

Seeing these eyes, Lu Qingjiu's breath choked, and even thought he had hallucinations. Those eyes seemed to see Lu Sake in the room through the gap, and there was a strong color of greed in it.
Lu Qingjiu said in amazement, "Am I having a nightmare..."
His question has not been answered, and the terrifying eyes above his head are gone. However, before Lu Qingjiu came over, he saw a long slender pink tongue, drilling in from the house along the small hole.
The tongue was extremely long, with transparent mucus attached to it, and it ejected towards the location of Lu Sake. Fortunately, Lu Sake reacted quickly and fluttered under the bed, avoiding the attack of the tongue. He staggered open the door and ran out of the house. After seeing the things on his roof clearly, he froze in place.
I saw a huge reptile attached to the roof of the old house. The animal's skin was gray-black, with prominent eyeballs, and its limbs were easily fixed to the slippery tiles-it was clearly a huge gecko!
The gecko also noticed Lu Qingjiu's movement, and slowly turned his head, and looked at Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu saw that he was unhappy and turned around to escape, but the next moment he heard Po Kongzhi coming from behind him. Sound, something seems to be piercing him!
Before Lu Qingjiu could react, he felt his waist tighten, his eyes turned upside down, he uttered, and he was curled up by the huge gecko with his tongue.
Geckos eat something like this, as long as they wrap a living creature with their tongue, they will eat that living creature in their mouth. Lu Qingjiu watched as he was getting closer and closer to the huge gecko. At the moment when he was about to be caught in the mouth by the thing, the gecko suddenly froze, and his huge eyes showed horror.
As a result, Lu Qingjiu stayed in mid-air, and all the strange Luli couldn't fully digest it for a while, but his survival instinct made him make the right choice. Taking advantage of the moment when the gecko was stunned, he took out the keychain in his pants pocket and swiped it down against his tongue.
I don't know if it was the pain or for other reasons. The gecko actually put down Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu fell from mid-air to the ground and saw a thick darkness floating above his head.
There seemed to be something hidden in the darkness, but Lu Qingjiu couldn't see clearly.
The gecko seemed to be terrified of the darkness, and turned around and jumped off the roof to flee, but the darkness spread quickly and enveloped the gecko.
Then Lu Qingjiu heard a sound like chewing meat. The gecko covered in darkness showed only a short tail outside, and Lu Qingjiu watched the tail writhing and struggling constantly, and then the movement became smaller and smaller, and finally there was no movement.
The sound of meat chewing also gradually decreased, replaced by the crunch of broken bones. Lu Qingjiu slowly got up from the ground, intending to take advantage of this effort to leave here, but just two steps forward, he felt his mind dizzy. , The whole person is soft to the ground. Just before he fainted completely, he seemed to vaguely saw a big orange eye...
The next day, Lu Qingjiu was awakened dazedly by the knock on the door. He got up from the bed and stayed there for a while before staggering to open the door.
"What's the matter, sake? His face is so ugly!" Yin Xun saw Lu Qingjiu who opened the door, and was startled by his face. "You caught a ghost last night?!"
When the word ghost was mentioned, Lu Qingjiu's face became even more ugly. He said, "I seemed to have a terrible dream last night." As he said, he looked up at the roof, and didn't see anything on it. Traces of damage.
"A terrible dream?" Yin Xun asked, "Are you too tired..."
Lu Qingjiu was in a daze: "It's... it's possible."
"Well, do you still go to the market in town today?" Yin Xun asked, "Otherwise, rest at home for a day?"
"Go." Lu Qingjiu shook his head, making himself a little more sober, "I want to buy some daily necessities."
"That's all right, let's go directly and go to town for breakfast." Yin Xun glanced at his watch, "Uncle Chen and their car are going to town."
Shuifu Village is quite far from the town. It takes a whole day to walk and more than two hours by car. There are only two small trucks in their village. Usually, the villagers want to go to the town. They can wait until the day when the owner purchases the goods to go to the car and give them some money. Yin Xun called Uncle Chen one of them. His family has more fields. This time I went to the town to buy some fertilizer.
The two walked to the entrance of the village, greeted Uncle Chen and sat in the cab.
After Lu Qingjiu gave the car money, Yin Xun smiled and handed a cigarette. Uncle Chen took it and lit it, chatting and asking Lu Qingjiu what he wanted to buy.
"I want to raise a piglet." Lu Qingjiu said, "buy some more seeds."
Uncle Chen said: "Okay, there are piglets in the town. I'll help you pick them together, so don't be fooled."
Lu Qingjiu smiled and thanked him.
Then Uncle Chen asked about Lu Qingjiu's current situation, and after learning that he was going to stay here for a long time, he told him some points that need to be paid attention to. For example, the land must be plowed immediately so that it can be planted. The farming must be seasonal. , A waste of time and missed the spring, you have to wait until the next quarter.
Listening to Lu Qingjiu, he nodded and said yes from time to time. This distant relative is not as good as its neighbors. Shuifu Village is already small, and everyone can help each other out for anything.
The small truck drove across the mountain road and reached the market in the town. Different from the silence of the night, the town is very lively during the day, and on both sides of the road are small vendors selling all kinds of gadgets, some are useful for food, and there are many seeds and livestock.
Uncle Chen said that he had to stock up first, so that Yin Xun and Lu Qingjiu would buy what they wanted to buy first, and then the three of them would gather at the piglet selling place.
Lu Qingjiu nodded and said hello, and entered the market with Yin Xun.
"What do you want to eat?" Yin Xun asked, "That Xiaolongbao tastes good."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Then try it?"
Yin Xun said, "Hey, just walk."
Lu Qingjiu followed Yin Xun to a small shop next to the market, and ordered two steaming steaming steamed dumplings, two bowls of soy milk and two fried dough sticks.
Lu Qingjiu picked up the Xiaolongbao, bite half of it, and said, "It's delicious." This Xiaolongbao is stuffed with sauce and meat, with a thin skin and a large filling. It is full of gravy when you bite it, and there is also chopped meat inside. The lotus root dilutes the greasy feeling of the meat and the taste is very good.
"It's delicious!" Yin Xun said, "How many cages can I eat every time I come to his house, would you try this dip?"
When Lu Qingjiu heard the words, he dipped it with the dipping sauce. The sauce was spiced with vinegar and sprinkled with chopped green onion. After it was dipped, it had a completely different flavor. The spicy and delicious meat was fragrant and it made people unable to stop.
Lu Qingjiu narrowed his eyes contentedly and laughed: "How much can you eat alone?"
"Me?" Yin Xun said, "Three or four cages are okay...just eating too much is not good for lunch."
"Oh." Lu Qingjiu clamped another one and was about to put it in his mouth, but he felt a gaze rest on his back. He turned his head suspiciously and saw a man in white standing behind him. Looking at him with scorching eyes.
Lu Qingjiu, the man's appearance, could not be more familiar. It was the man he met on the mountain road that day when he was sitting in the taxi.
"You...Hello." Lu Qingjiu silently put down his chopsticks, staring at it like this, "You..." He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.
Unexpectedly, when he hesitated, the man had already walked to his side.
Yin Xun whispered: "Who is this?" This man looks handsome, with slightly drooping eyes, a lazy appearance, thin lips curled into an arc, all the attention seems to be on Lu Qingjiu... No, it wasn't on Lu Qingjiu. After Yin Xun's repeated confirmation, he found that the man seemed to be staring at the Xiao Long Bao in front of Lu Qingjiu.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." He also found the man's goal, so after hesitating for a while, he asked politely, "Eat?"
The man glanced at Lu Qingjiu and nodded decisively.
Lu Qingjiu hurriedly ordered another two cages of Xiaolongbao. The man did not use chopsticks, he reached out and picked up one and delivered it to his mouth. Lu Qingjiu originally wanted to remind him that the Xiaolongbao was a bit hot, but he looked like it completely. Not being affected, one by one, the action stopped for a while.
Lu Qingjiu asked quietly, "Is it delicious?"
The man paused and nodded.
Lu Qingjiu: "Do you want more?"
The man nodded again.
Lu Qingjiu called two more cages. Although he didn't know who the man was, he vaguely felt that the person in front of him saved his life that night.
One cage, two cages, three cages... the steamer in front of him was stacked higher and higher, and Yin Xun's eyes widened.
"Fuck, he has eaten twenty cages." Yin Xun said with horror.
Lu Qingjiu forced his composure: "It's okay, he shouldn't be able to sustain it."
Yin Xun: "Is this a problem of support..."
Lu Qingjiu: "What's the problem?"
Yin Xun: "Do you have enough money with you..."
Lu Qingjiu: "Bring enough... right?"
Here, the Xiaolongbao is eight and twelve yuan per cage. The white-clothed man has eaten almost twenty cages. Lu Qingjiu suspected that he would have no problem with another twenty cages, so he could only comfort himself by touching his wallet for more than four hundred yuan. It's still worth buying a life.
The man ate too much, and even the people around him cast surprised gazes here. Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun were speechless looking at the tall steamer in front of them, and finally they let the boss serve five more baskets at Lu Qingjiu. When the time came, the man waved his hand to indicate that he was not using it.
"Are you full?" Lu Qingjiu said, "Don't worry, I can afford this meal. I can leave when I'm full."
"Satisfaction?" The man heard the words, suddenly turned his head and stared at Lu Qingjiu seriously, "I haven't eaten enough for a long time."
Lu Qingjiu: "..."
The man said: "Can you make me full?"
"Haha, let me work harder?" For some reason, being stared at by the man's black eyes, Lu Qingjiu actually had a layer of white hair sweat on his back. He didn't dare to shirk it directly, so he could only express it more euphemistically. Have a look at your own thoughts.
"Oh," the man said, "that's good."
Lu Qingjiu breathed a sigh of relief, but before his breath was completely relieved, the man said, "My name is Baiyuehu, I will come to you." He reached out and threw a small cloth bag on the table. "This is the deposit."
Lu Qingjiu was stunned, but during the moment he was stunned, the man had stood up and disappeared into the crowd.
"What is this?" Yin Xun touched the pocket on the table with some curiosity. "What is this, isn't it money?"
Lu Qingjiu opened his pocket, his expression froze as soon as he saw what was inside, and he didn't say a word for a while.
Yin Xun saw Lu Qingjiu's expression very strange. He moved his head and saw the contents in the black cloth bag. He was dazed: "What is this? A bug?"
Lu Qingjiu shook his head, but he didn't explain what was in the bag anymore, instead he sealed the bag easily. Maybe other people can't recognize this thing, but Lu Qingjiu is very clear-it is the tail of a gecko, still beating slightly, it seems that it has just been cut off from the gecko. What he encountered last night was really not a dream.
Yin Xun whispered beside him: "That man was kidding when he said he wanted to come to you?"
Lu Qingjiu glanced at Yin Xun: "Yes... right."
After they said this, the two looked at each other, but they both saw some kind of worry in the eyes of each other. They both had a bad feeling...
After the man left, Lu Qingjiu calmly settled the bill with his wallet, and then followed Yin Xun's decision to pick some seeds that the family needed to plant.
Lu Qingjiu's family has a total of eight acres of land, all of which are leased to others. This year, the lease term of two acres is up, and Lu Qingjiu will first grow some vegetables for his own consumption.
"Then what do you grow?" Yin Xun asked.
"Grow everything." Lu Qingjiu has no experience with farming. He thinks that he will use two acres of land to practice his hands this year. "I usually eat corn, tomato and cucumber."
"Okay." Yin Xun asked while picking seeds for Lu Qingjiu. "You don't know anything at first, so you can practice your hands first. Two acres of land is not too much anyway."
Lu Qingjiu nodded, and the two of them picked a few of various seeds and asked the boss to wrap them up and put them in their backpacks.
After choosing the seeds, Lu Qingjiu went to buy some daily necessities, such as pots in the kitchen and seasonings. Yin Xun asked him to buy some screens and paste the windows. The mosquitoes were poisonous this night.
Lu Qingjiu said that he was not bitten by mosquitoes at all.
Yin Xun still didn't believe it. It could be said that it was a coincidence before, but it has been a few days since Lu Qingjiu is fine. Who knows that after searching Lu Qingjiu's arm, he didn't find a mosquito bite bag, so he could only say that these mosquitoes are really wild boars that don't eat fine chaff, and Lu Qingjiu with smooth skin doesn't bite, so he wants to bite him. ...
Standing beside Lu Qingjiu, he thought of the huge gecko on the roof of his house. Well, it seems that the staple food of geckos is mosquitoes.
After choosing what to choose, it's almost time to find Uncle Chen.
Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun carried things to the place where piglets were sold next to the market. This place was a small livestock market. As soon as Lu Qingjiu entered, he saw a small calf seller.
Yin Xun said, "Go here, how many are you going to buy?"
"Two ends," Lu Qingjiu said, "One end is too lonely."
Yin Xun paused for a moment when he heard the words, looked at Lu Qingjiu, and said seriously: "I have something to remind you, if you buy a pig, don't give it a name."
"I know that." Lu Qingjiu said, "You will have feelings after you choose a name. When you were a kid, didn't you give your domestic pig the name Xiaohua?"
"Yes." Yin Xun fell into memories and said with emotion, "I liked Xiaohua at that time, and I gave it the tenderest pigweed every day."
Lu Qingjiu: "Yes, in the end Xiaohua was killed by your dad and you cried all afternoon. By the way, how did they coax you?"
Yin Xun: "Make me a bowl of braised pork."
Lu Qingjiu: "..."
Yin Xun: "It's really fragrant."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." This is good.
The two talked to the place where they bought the piglets, and saw that Uncle Chen was already chatting with the boss who sold the piglets. Uncle Chen saw Lu Qingjiu and they came and waved, calling, "Come here! I'll pick it for you." Two!"
Lu Qingjiu walked over and saw that there were two pink and tender little piglets next to Uncle Chen. The piglets were very clean just after they were born. They were lying pink and tender on the ground, humming, and they looked very good. lovely.
Yin Xun looked at Piggy and said: "It's so tender..."
Lu Qingjiu: "...Do you think of Xiaohua?"
Yin Xun: "Don't mention the sad past."
Lu Qingjiu thought that you didn't say that when you ate braised pork.
"This batch of piglets is of good quality." Uncle Chen said, "The number of pigs raised at home is small, so there is no need to pay attention to so many. Do you eat it yourself or sell meat?"
"Eat it yourself." Lu Qingjiu said.
"Oh, that's OK." Uncle Chen nodded.
Now the specifications for raising pigs are strict, and if they exceed a certain number, they have to apply for a breeding license. However, there are no such strict regulations in places as remote as they are in Shuifu Village, especially for those raised in their own homes like Lu Qingjiu. Up.
Satisfied with the pig that Uncle Chen picked, Lu Qingjiu took out his wallet and prepared to pay and leave, but he heard a stern pig cry next to him, which was very screaming and piercing, attracting everyone's attention. .
"What's that?" Uncle Chen asked in doubt, "Boss, you have a wild boar?"
The pig seller shook his head and said: "Where did I do it? I picked it up by the road two days ago. It seems to have been stunned by a car. I don’t eat anything to feed it. I don’t want to live long. I just thought about it and sold it."
"Wild boar?" Lu Qingjiu became interested and said, "Can you see it?" He hasn't seen a real wild boar yet.
The boss waved to Lu Qingjiu to help himself.
A few people walked towards the place where the pig called, and saw two small black meat shrunk in the corner of the fence. The slightly larger meat ball was making a miserable cry at this time, Lu Qingjiu When I met its eyes, I found that those small eyes were full of sad tears.
"Is it crying?" Lu Qingjiu didn't expect the pig to be so spiritual.
"Right." Yin Xun said, "but is this thing a wild boar? Why are there fangs at such a young age." Normally, fangs develop slowly, and it is impossible to have them at birth.
"Yeah, this pig is a bit weird, maybe it's mutated." The boss didn't take this seriously, "and it's a male and a female, and the female has fangs."
The two meat dumplings were originally huddled in the corner, but at this time they seemed to understand their dialogue, and they both began to look towards this side, their mouths were also a little quieter, and I don’t know if it was Lu Qingjiu’s illusion. , He actually heard a little flattering taste.
"Boss, what do you plan to do with these two pigs?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
The boss said: "They refused to eat, and if they couldn't sell it, they killed the meat."
Lu Qingjiu said: "How much meat can there be in such a small size."
The boss said: "Why, do you want to buy?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "Looking at the two poor, I asked if I could add some money. You can sell these two together."
The boss hesitated.
Uncle Chen talked to the side and said: "Old Xu, this pig doesn't have a lot of meat. It looks sick, so I can't rest assured when I eat it. It's better to sell it cheaply and see if I can feed it."
After being persuaded by the old customer, the boss was relieved and promised to sell the two black piglets to Lu Qingjiu at a cheaper price. Lu Qingjiu paid the money, took the black piglet out of the pen, and put it into Uncle Chen's van with the other two piglets.
The two black meat dumplings seemed to dislike the other two piglets very much, and they didn't want to be close to their own kind at all. Lu Qingjiu sat by and watched the little movements of the two, helplessly stretched out his hand and gently twitched the ear of the smaller one, and said, "What do you dislike for all the same kind?"
The little one hummed twice, and actually shed tears, his expression was terribly wronged.
The big one groaned fiercely at Lu Qingjiu when he saw it, but at this time its small body was so fierce. Lu Qingjiu reached out his hand and flicked his forehead and said, "You still fierce me? You two were rescued from there, but I am your savior, so how do you treat your savior?"
Yin Xun laughed at this, "Jiuer, what do you say to the pig, can they still understand it?"
Before he could say anything, he saw the big little black piglet bowing his forefoot and bowing to Lu Sake.
Yin Xun's smile froze: "Fuck, this pig has become a fine?"
Lu Qingjiu: "...it seems to be."
Yin Xun: "Then...this pig spirit..."
Lu Qingjiu: "?"
Yin Xun: "Is it delicious?"
Lu Qingjiu: "..." To be honest, Xiaohua really did not injustice.
