Chapter 22: Combat effectiveness

Zhang Chuyang's thoughts seemed to be unchangeable, until he left, the eyes he looked at Lu Qingjiu were very subtle. Lu Qingjiu also gave up defending himself and let him go.
After breakfast, Lu Qing drove Zhang Chuyang and Zhu Miaomiao to the town in a small truck, and the three said goodbye—to be precise, Zhang Chuyang and Zhu Miaomiao said goodbye to Lu Qingjiu.
"Mr. Lu, if someone else has trouble with this aspect, can I still come to you?" Zhang Chuyang's long hair tied behind his head, like a wandering artist, he held it tightly at this moment. Lu Qingjiu's hand was hesitant to let go, "Can you Mr. Lu?"
Lu Qingjiu's hands were red when he was caught, and he said helplessly, "Yes."
Zhang Chuyang reluctantly let go.
Zhu Miaomiao also persuaded Lu Qingjiu a few words, but she wanted to get Lu Qingjiu back to the original company. Lu Qingjiu knew she was kind and worried about herself, so he listened with a smile, but didn't mean to change her mind.
When Zhu Miaomiao saw this, he knew that he couldn't persuade Lu Qingjiu anymore, so he could only sigh and said, "Well, you are welcome to come back anytime."
"Thank you." Lu Qingjiu is very grateful to Zhu Miaomiao for taking care of himself in the company over the years.
Seeing the two get on the train, Lu Qingjiu turned and left the station.
He didn’t rush back after he got out of the station. Instead, he went to the town to buy some daily necessities and food that he needed at home. There was a white moon fox at home with a big appetite. Meat must be indispensable for each meal. For convenience, every time Lu Qingjiu bought a few dozen jin and went back to be frozen.
After he bought something, a text message reminded him on his mobile phone, and his bank card was over 200,000. Lu Qingjiu counted twice, and after confirming that he had read it correctly, he called Zhu Miaomiao and asked what was going on. Did Zhang Chuyang make a mistake?
"No, I can't stop him. He has to call you 200,000 yuan." Zhu Miaomiao's tone was also helpless. She didn't know how Zhang Chuyang's attitude towards Lu Qingjiu changed so much.
Lu Qingjiu said: "You give him the phone."
As a result, as soon as Zhu Miaomiao handed the phone to Zhang Chuyang, the sentence came: "Mr. Lu, this is what you deserve!"
Lu Qingjiu: "Wait..."
Zhang Chuyang quickly said: "I have never seen such a miraculous thing. I slept all night and actually grew thick hair. Oh my God, this is incredible. This little money can only be expressed. My gratitude is less than one in ten thousand! Please be sure to accept the money!" After the words fell, the phone hung up, leaving Lu Qingjiu with his mouth open for a long time without speaking.
Yes, for a mature man who was bald in his thirties, he could give birth to such a black and beautiful hair. It was his reborn parents. Coupled with the mysterious atmosphere that night, Lu Qingjiu had become Zhang Chu. The expert in Yang Xin who can't offend.
However, Gao Ren Lu Qingjiu completely gave up the argument with Zhang Chuyang, carried dozens of catties of pork onto the truck, and drove the truck home to cook.
It has been raining in the past few days and the mountain roads have been exceptionally slippery, but the pickup truck has not been affected at all. The usual speed is still the same now, except for a slower speed, which is very stable, so there is no need to worry about Lu Qingjiu.
After arriving at the door of the house, Lu Qingjiu parked it as usual, and touched the head of its headlights to boast.
Lu Qingjiu carried the meat into the yard, but he didn't see the white moon fox that had been lying in the yard before, nor did he see Yin Xun.
"Bai Yuehu? Yin Xun? Where did the two of them go?" Lu Qingjiu walked around the entire yard, but didn't see them two. Since the two are not there, then something must have gone there, and Lu Qingjiu didn't Continue to look for them, but go to the kitchen to prepare.
The ribs I bought today are fresh and good, and Lu Qingjiu plans to have this for lunch. Make a sweet and sour short rib, then make a ribs dry pot, boil the winter melon rib soup. The Baiyue Fox is not picky at all, and eats almost everything. His only hobby is that he prefers to eat meat compared to vegetables.
Lu Qingjiu chopped the ribs into small pieces and removed the blood, but when he was cutting the ribs for the ingredients, he saw Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu come back. Both of them dragged a big bag in their hands, and the bag left a long water stain on the ground, seemingly because the contents of the bag were wet. The bag was twisted from time to time, and it was obvious that it contained living things.
Lu Qingjiu was still holding a spatula to cook, but his eyes straightened when he saw the bag. He filled up 10,000 horror scenes of murder, and whispered, "Yin Xun, what's in the bag?"
"Fish." Yin Xun's answer made Lu Qingjiu a sigh of relief. He noticed Lu Qingjiu's eyes and laughed immediately, "What do you think it is, is it the corpse of a passing tourist who drowned unfortunately?"
Lu Qingjiu: "..." This possibility cannot be denied.
Yin Xun reached out and opened the bag, revealing the contents of the bag. It turned out to be a huge black fish, but the fish looked a little strange, with pale markings on its body and red lips. The whole looked like a carp, but the details were different. There were two wounds on the fish's back, and red blood was gurgling out of it. However, the fish did not become weak due to these two wounds, but was very lively, bouncing around in the bag.
"What kind of fish is this?" Lu Qingjiu was stunned when he saw the fish. "Why haven't I seen it." He said it was a carp, but there were some characteristics that did not match the carp. Could it be a mutated ornamental carp?
"Carp." Bai Yuehu, standing behind Yin Xun, answered Lu Qingjiu's question.
Really carp? However, there are indeed many ornamental fishes of carp. Lu Qingjiu said, "Then... shall we eat tomorrow?"
"Eat it tonight." Baiyue Fox said, "The fish has wounds on its body and can't be fed."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Alright... Then you help me kill the fish. I will fix the ribs first. If the fish is... just make a pickled fish, right?"
Bai Yuehu nodded in satisfaction.
This fish is big, the meat should not be very tender, and it may be a bit fishy, ​​so pickled cabbage fish is quite suitable. Lu Qingjiu made the ribs, while Baiyuehu killed the fish beside him. By the way, he sliced ​​the fish into fillets according to Lu Qingjiu's instructions.
The white moon fox's knife skills are very good. After digging out the fish's entrails, it splits it from the belly, and then slices the fish neatly along the texture. Lu Qingjiu watched from the side and found that the fish was much tenderer than he had imagined, and it seemed that there were no small spines other than a backbone.
When Lu Qingjiu looked at the structure of the fish, he knew that the white moon fox must have lied. This fish would definitely not be a carp. The carp has a lot of spines. At this moment, Yin Xun happened to be in the vegetable field, and he had nothing to hide. The man asked: "This is not a carp? What kind of fish is it?"
Baiyue Fox blinked at Lu Sake, and spit out two words: "Wenray."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Never heard of it.
"It's not poisonous, it's delicious." Baiyuehu said, "It fits well with sauerkraut." He said while observing Lu Qingjiu's expression, seemingly worried that Lu Qingjiu would dislike this fish that he had never heard of.
Lu Qingjiu wanted to forget it, no matter if he hadn't heard of it, he could eat it, and the meat of this fish looks really good. I knew it would not be used to make sauerkraut fish, just steam it...
The two reached a certain consensus in silence, and the white moon fox happily turned the fish fillets into fish fillets, and then watched Lu's sake cook a large pot of pickled fish.
The sauerkraut is made by Lu Sake himself. It hasn't been too long and the sourness is not enough, so I added a little more. The fish is tumbling in the sauerkraut, and the rich aroma fills the entire kitchen.
Lu Qingjiu was cooking in the kitchen, while Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu stood outside ready to come in and serve food.
"Okay." Pour the fish in the pot into the specially bought stainless steel basin, Lu Qingjiu announced the opening of the meal like a kindergarten aunt, "Let's eat."
Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun entered the kitchen and began to carry things, while Lu Qingjiu untied their aprons by the side, took a breath and drank a glass of water before sitting in front of the table.
Because of the sudden fish, Lu Qingjiu only made a dry pot spare ribs, and put the other spare ribs in the refrigerator to eat at night. Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun did not move. Waiting for Lu Sake to move the first chopsticks, this is the default rule of their family. Because Lu Sake cooks the most hard food every time, so they have to wait until he uses his chopsticks. Only started to eat. Lu Qingjiu told them several times because of this, but seeing that they didn't care about it, he could only give up.
Lu Qingjiu picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. Then his eyes showed a surprise, and he said, "This fish is really delicious." The fish is very tender, with a strange hint of sweetness, after being cooked in sauerkraut. It also incorporates the sour taste of sauerkraut, making it very appetizing.
"Mmm." Yin Xun nodded heavily, the chopsticks couldn't stop at all.
The most comfortable thing is that the fish has no thorns at all. No matter which piece of meat is very fat, it can even be said that there is no fishy smell at all. Even Lu Qingjiu, who is not interested in fish, can't stop eating chopsticks.
The fish was warmly welcomed by everyone, but Baiyue Fox did not let go of the dry pot ribs next to him. He was obviously willing to accept meat.
When Lu Qingjiu was cooking, he still wondered if it would be too much to make the two fish together, but the posture of Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu is not much at all. The fish in the basin that was originally used to wash the face unexpectedly reached the bottom. Finally, Yin Xun fell down first, touching his round belly and saying that he was going to give birth, and let Lu Qingjiu be responsible for him.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Your belly is big because of fish, what responsibility do I have?"
Yin Xun: "..."
Bai Yuehu's combat effectiveness was never at the same level as Yin Xun's. Yin Xun's belly was big, and he was still fighting. After the fish entered his mouth, it seemed as if he had entered a bottomless pit, and he was not full at all. Lu Qingjiu looked at his abdomen and felt no change.
So it became Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun sitting next to him, watching Baiyue Fox eat up all the sauerkraut fish including the soup in one go, and there were some onions and other ingredients left on the dry pot ribs next to him. He ate it. After finishing, stand up consciously and prepare to wash dishes.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Yuehu, are you full?"
Bai Yuehu said: "It's almost there."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." When I think about it carefully, it seems that Bai Yuehu never said that he was full when he was eating. Even if he asked him, he said: "It's almost there."
Almost almost means you are not full, right? Lu Qingjiu thought, will he ever see Baiyuehu when he is full...
After dinner, go back to each house and find each mother.
Lu Qingjiu took a shower and sat in front of the computer to play a game for a while. He was playing, but he suddenly thought of something. He opened the search bar and entered the word Wenray. Then he saw the record of this kind of fish in the "Shan Hai Jing": It is a multi-text ray fish, like a carp, with a fish body with bird wings, a pale white head with a red beak, and a red beak. It often travels in the West Sea, and its sound is like a Luan chicken. The taste is sour and sweet, and the food is crazy, and you see it.
It probably means that the bird looks similar to a carp, and the sound is similar to that of a Luan chicken. The taste is sweet and sour, and it can cure madness when eaten.
Lu Qingjiu fell silent looking at this paragraph, and then recalled the taste of pickled fish tonight, and felt that the "Shan Hai Jing" was quite reliable.
Speaking of Shanhaijing, Lu Qingjiu vaguely remembered that it seemed to record many interesting creatures. He thought about it for a moment, and simply bought one online, planning to take a look at it.
I ate too full at night, and tiredness quickly emerged. Since Lu Qingjiu arrived in Shuifu Village, he didn't know how to write the word insomnia, so he just touched his pillow every day.
Tonight is no exception. Lu Qingjiu lay on the bed and put a small blanket on his stomach. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the mat can be spread in two days. He closed his eyes and fell asleep deeply amidst the sound of insects.
However, in the middle of the night, Lu Qingjiu, who was still asleep, heard someone screaming. He woke up in a daze from his dream. The first reaction was that Zhang Chuyang had already grown his hair? Why did you start screaming again? !
But after waking up, he listened carefully and found that the cry was not from Zhang Chuyang at all, but a very strange voice.
"Who? Who is outside?!" Lu Qingjiu rushed into the yard in his pajamas.
The moon in the sky was obscured by thick clouds. Lu Qingjiu could barely see clearly that there seemed to be two people lying in his yard, and the gate of the yard was wide open, as if someone had destroyed it from the outside. Lu Qingjiu was shocked, and immediately realized that it was a thief at home. He grabbed a stick that was left in the yard and placed it by the wall to build a grape rack, and yelled, "Who is there!"
However, the two of them lay motionless in the yard, and Lu Qingjiu didn't dare to lean over. He turned around and went to the side corridor to turn on the lights in the yard.
The light bulb lit up the entire yard, and Lu Qingjiu could see exactly what was going on in the yard.
I saw two young people lying on the floor of his yard, their faces covered with blood stains, and faint moans in their mouths, and not far from them, there were two daggers stained with blood. It should be carried with you.
Although Lu Qingjiu didn't know what happened, the first reaction was to call the police. After asking about the situation on the phone, the police said that they would rush over and let Lu Qingjiu take a look at the situation of the two people first, if necessary. If you want to help them call an ambulance in advance.
Lu Qingjiu said hello. After he finished the call, he cautiously walked to the two men holding a wooden stick, and found that the two men were covered with dense holes, as if they had been pecked out by something. The two of them had been so dizzy with pain and fell down. Moaning/groaning on the ground.
Lu Qingjiu's gaze swept around in the yard and found some blood stains on the ground. He followed the blood stains and finally stopped at the door of his chicken coop.
Because the chickens are usually very obedient. When it rains and it gets dark, there is no need for people to rush into the chicken coop. Therefore, the chicken coop in the yard never locks the door, and just keeps the chicken open. Boys act by themselves.
Lu Qingjiu opened the chicken coop and saw blood stains everywhere in the chicken coop, but this was not the point. The point was that almost every chicken was covered with blood. At first Lu Qingjiu thought they were injured, but after he caught them and checked them one by one, they found out that all of these chickens were full of energy and showed no signs of injury. So the blood stains on their bodies were on the wounds of the two little thieves? Lu Qingjiu figured out all this and slowly turned his head to look at the two people who were still lying down and screaming.
Baiyue Fox was also woken up sometime, leaning on the door frame lazily, watching the scene in the yard.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Good evening."
"Good evening." Bai Yuehu replied softly.
Knowing that he must know exactly what happened, Lu Qingjiu slowly walked to Bai Yuehu's side and pointed at the two fallen humans and said, "I have already called the police. These two people are not in danger, right?"
White Moon Fox shook his head.
Lu Qingjiu said: "They won't be..."
He only said half of what he was hesitant, and Bai Yuehu nodded very seriously: "It's what you think."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Fuck, was it really pecked by a chicken? !
"So those are not...?" Lu Qingjiu asked, "what are they?"
Bai Yuehu said: "Something to eat."
Lu Qingjiu: "..."
Yes, in the eyes of Baiyue Fox, the world may be divided into two things, one that can be eaten, the other that cannot be eaten...
Lu Qingjiu thought for a while and asked: "Is that delicious?"
Bai Yuehu said: "It's delicious." When he said the word delicious, his eyes curled slightly. Obviously, he was in a good mood. He didn't know if it was because he remembered the taste of those chickens.
Since the people in the yard are not life-threatening, Lu Qingjiu didn't bother to call an ambulance for them. He took a wet towel, walked to the chicken coop, began to wipe the blood on the chicken, and asked Baiyue Fox: "They won't peck me?"
"No." Baiyuehu said, "They recognize the master."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Are you conscious?"
Bai Yuehu replied decisively: "No."
Lu Qingjiu: "..."
Bai Yuehu said: "Really not. They are nothing but delicious."
Lu Qingjiu was a little bit dumbfounded at the moment, but the chickens were indeed obedient in his hands. He didn't mean to peck him. He wiped and asked: "Have I beaten these chickens?"
Bai Yuehu said: "Um..."
Lu Qingjiu looked back at him: "What do you mean?"
Bai Yuehu said, "I'm calculating the fighting power of you and the chicken." He was quiet for a while before saying, "Ten to one."
Lu Qingjiu said in surprise: "Can I hit ten?"
Baiyue Fox: "Ten you can hit one."
Lu Qingjiu: "..."
Seeing that Lu Qingjiu's expression was wrong, Baiyuehu added: "It's okay, I'll kill when I eat."
That's really hard for you. Mr. Lu who was watching the whole process said that he was really hurt. But looking at the two terribly painful little thieves in the yard, and no fatal injuries, he decided not to challenge the fighting power of his chicken.
At about four o'clock in the morning, the police came and saw two thieves who were about to pass out of pain and Lu Qingjiu sitting in the yard dozing off.
"Hey, Lu Qingjiu." The policeman who came was still an acquaintance, the same Hu Shu who investigated the female body in Lu Qingjiu's backyard last time. He said, "Why is it you again."
Lu Qingjiu said: "I also want to know why I was so unlucky. The two people broke the lock of my compound and wanted to come in and steal things."
"Then what happened to their injuries?" Hu Shu asked.
"Where do I know." Lu Qingjiu said, "They were already on the ground as soon as I came out. Ask them if you don't believe me."
The two men were so dizzy with pain that they couldn't answer the police's question at all, but after seeing their looks, Hu Shu found that the two men were actually fugitives in the city. They were murdered and robbed a week ago and are currently being taken by the whole city. Wanted, but I didn't expect to bump into Lu Qingjiu's house. Thinking about it, it is possible that Lu Qingjiu caught the attention of these two people when he was buying meat in town today.
"Okay, I'll take the people away first." Hu Shu said, "You remember to come to the police station to make a record."
"Why do you want to make transcripts again, I don't know anything." Lu Qingjiu was helpless.
"That's not good." Hu Shu said, "They have so many injuries. You are the only one in this yard. You didn't do it. Could it be your chicken did it?" He pointed his finger at the chicken next to the yard. ring.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Damn, it was really his chicken. But he couldn't say it, and no one believed it, so he could only cast a very resentful look at Hu Shu.
Hu Shu was shaken by Lu Qingjiu's eyes, and said, "Don't stare at me like that. Although you know you may be innocent, we still have to leave the program."
"All right." Lu Qingjiu compromised.
"Right." Hu Shu asked in a low voice before taking the two of them away, "Nothing happened to the well behind your house, right?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "Um...no... right?"
Hu Shu: "Why do you hesitate to say?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "Maybe this thing tonight was done by something in that well."
Hu Shu shivered and said, "Really?"
Lu Qingjiu blinked without telling the truth or denying that it was false. He felt that Hu Shu seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated very much and seemed to be cautious.
There was a moment of silence between the two, Hu Shu still couldn't hold back, he said: "Are you good at these things?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "What's the matter?"
Hu Shu said: "It's a matter of ghosts and gods."
Lu Qingjiu said, "It's not alright, it's the first time I have seen you."
Hu Shu had doubts in his eyes and said, "Really?"
Lu Qingjiu nodded seriously.
Seeing Lu Qingjiu didn't want to let go, Hu Shu opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, turned and left. Lu Qingjiu looked at his back, always feeling that he seemed to have a lot to say, but for some reason he couldn't come out. It’s just that it has nothing to do with him. Lu Qingjiu glanced at his chicken coop and sighed. The blood stains on his chicken have not been wiped off yet, so please wipe it with a towel, otherwise it is estimated that the whole There was a smell of blood in the yard.
