Chapter 17: Big bird

If it were on weekdays, Lu Qingjiu would probably think carefully, but his mind eroded by alcohol couldn't think for a while. He remained dizzy and stared at the ceiling before falling asleep.
The next morning, Lu Qingjiu woke up from a hangover. The first thing he did after getting up was to run around in the yard.
Baiyue Fox got up earlier than Lu Sake, and seemed to be planning to water the fields at this time.
"Yuehu." Lu Qingjiu said suddenly.
Bai Yuehu looked at him: "Huh?"
"Last night..." Lu Qingjiu said, "Did something happen last night?" Although he was drunk, he vaguely remembered something.
Bai Yuehu said: "Nothing."
Lu Qingjiu sighed in his heart, thinking that Bai Yuehu didn't want to say more. Who knows that his next sentence is: "It's not a big deal. I added a meal."
Lu Qingjiu: "..."
Seeing Lu Qingjiu's face in shock, Bai Yuehu thought for a while and added: "There will be outsiders coming over today."
Lu Sake tremblingly: "Is it a guest?"
Bai Yuehu said: "Guest?" He was silent for a moment, as if thinking about whether the word was appropriate for this person, and finally said, "It depends on the situation."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Miraculously, he actually understood what Bai Yuehu meant. Depending on the situation, he probably wanted to see if the person who came here was delicious or not. If it was not delicious, he could barely count as a guest. If it was delicious... …The end is probably the same as the big bird last night.
Baiyue Fox fought off the bucket and left. Lu Qingjiu watched his back and silently returned to the kitchen to make breakfast, and waited for the Baiyue Fox to return to eat after pouring the water.
Today’s breakfast was glutinous rice made by Lu Qingjiu. The glutinous rice used to make glutinous rice was bought from the village. After it was made into a powder, it was mixed with water and evenly mixed, and then the glutinous rice were added. The core is bought directly from the town, and it is stuffed with sesame seeds. Wrap the core in the glutinous rice, put it in boiling water and boil, add some rice wine to it and beaten an egg, and a bowl of glutinous rice is ready.
Bai Yuehu solved the most troublesome vegetable plot in the family, and Lu Qingjiu was relieved a lot and could spend more time on food. It is estimated that Baiyue Fox thinks so too, otherwise it would definitely not be so active in farming.
Lu Qingjiu made the glutinous rice balls, Bai Yuehu almost came back, and Yin Xun, who was yawning, came with him.
Yin Xun carried a bowl of glutinous rice in the yard while eating while feeding the chickens. Their chickens also grew very fast. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least the first half of the time for the hens to grow up and lay eggs, but their chickens looked like hormones. Yes, it's been a few laps. Yin Xun was not surprised at this, and he didn't mention it with Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu had no experience in raising chickens, and he didn't notice the strangeness of his own chickens.
The chicks were chatting around Yin Xun, and Yin Xun occasionally picked a glutinous rice ball to feed them, and they also ate it with relish.
The white moon fox is still very not afraid of being hot. He took a bite of the glutinous rice and saw Lu Qingjiu's tongue hurt. Although the glutinous rice core was bought, it was also very fragrant. She swallowed it smoothly.
But the glutinous rice was very hungry, Lu Qingjiu was full after eating a bowl, and Yin Xun had no appetite, so the rest went into the stomach of Bai Yuehu. After he finished eating, he walked to his chair in the yard as usual and began to doze off after sitting down.
Lu Qingjiu said, "Yuehu, shall I buy you a rocking chair?"
Bai Yuehu said: "Rocking the rocking chair?"
"It's the kind that can be shaken, very comfortable..." Lu Qingjiu said.
Although Bai Yuehu didn't seem to understand it, he didn't refute it, nodding his head to agree.
Lu Qingjiu went to the pigpen to feed the pigs first, and was about to go to the ground with Yin Xun to pick some vegetables for lunch when he heard the sound of a car ringing at the door.
The village is very small, and there are only two people with cars. Lu Qingjiu heard the sound of the cars and knew that there were outsiders coming. He immediately remembered what Bai Yuehu said before-whether it was a guest or not, it depends on the situation.
With the creak of the door, everyone's eyes fell on the door that was pushed open. A slightly familiar face appeared at the door. Lu Qingjiu immediately recognized the person's identity: "Mr. Chao?!"
That’s right, the visitor was the big patron Chao Qianyu that Lu Qingjiu met in the market yesterday, who bought all the tomatoes. Although he had said before that he would visit Lu Qingjiu, Lu Qingjiu did not expect that he would be the first. Coming in two days, and from the expression, it seemed to be a little worried.
Chao Qianyu said: "Mr. Lu, I'm bothering you." He stood at the door, without intending to go inside, his eyes patrolling the courtyard for a while, and finally fell on the Baiyue Fox who seemed to have fallen asleep.
"Yeah." Lu Qingjiu said, "Are you coming so soon?"
"Yes." Chao Qianyu said, "Do you mind if I come in and talk to you carefully?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "Sure."
Chao Qianyu was relieved when he heard the words. He walked a few steps to the side of Lu Qingjiu. When he passed the middle of the yard, his nose gasped. As if he could smell something, his face changed drastically, and he said, "Mr. Lu! "
Lu Qingjiu said: "Huh?"
Chao Qianyu said: "I have eyes but do not know Mount Tai, please let Mr. Lu let go of my bird and horse!"
Lu Qingjiu was shocked by this development. He was stunned for three seconds, but still did not understand what Chao Qianyu meant: "What did you say?"
Chao Qianyu's face was pale, as if he felt that Lu Qingjiu was pretending to be confused, he said: "Mr. Lu, please mention what you have, and I will agree if you can meet it!"
Lu Qingjiu seemed to think of something, he coughed embarrassingly, "Does your bird mean that big... bird with a red beak and white feathers?"
Chao Qianyu nodded solemnly.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Um..." He glanced at Bai Yuehu quietly, and saw that Bai Yuehu hadn't even opened his eyes from beginning to end, and he couldn't help but feel even more guilty. Facing Chao Qianyu's sharp eyes, he had the illusion that his pet accidentally killed someone else's pet...
Chao Qianyu saw some clues from Lu Qingjiu's expression and shouted, "Mr. Lu?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "This...that's it, I, although I saw the bird last night, it flew away afterwards."
Chao Qianyu: "..."
Lu Qingjiu's guilty smile: "Really."
Chao Qianyu's expression became even more gloomy, and he said, "Then Mr. Lu, please answer me a question."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Huh?"
Chao Qianyu said: "Since it flew away, why is there a smell of my bird's blood in Mr. Lu's yard?"
Lu Qingjiu: "You smelled wrong..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Yuehu, who was sitting and resting, suddenly opened his eyes, still with those black eyes, still without any special emotions, but Chao Qianyu's body shook suddenly. It seemed that the white moon fox's gaze was a terrible sight.
"I know where your bird is." Bai Yuehu said, "Do you want to see it?"
Chao Qianyu smiled: "I don't know if this is..."
"This is my friend." Lu Qingjiu said, "It's called Baiyuehu."
Chao Qianyu: "White Moon Fox..." He chewed the name carefully, his eyes showed strong doubts, and he muttered quietly, "That's not right..."
Bai Yuehu interrupted him coldly, "What's wrong?" He stood up, walked to Chao Qianyu, and said again, "Do you want to be with your bird?"
Chao Qianyu seemed to finally understand what Bai Yuehu's words meant, his eyes rounded in an instant, his whole body trembled twice, and he immediately turned to leave, but Bai Yuehu held his shoulders.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Bai Yuehu said coldly.
Even if Lu Qingjiu didn't know what was going on, he could obviously feel that Chao Qianyu was very scared, so afraid that he didn't dare to look at Bai Yuehu's gaze. He opened his mouth and said dumbly: "Mr. Bai..."
"Didn't you come to buy tomatoes?" Bai Yuehu said.
Chao Qianyu showed a look of stunned expression, obviously he never expected that Bai Yuehu would come out such a sentence.
Seeing Chao Qianyu's silence, Bai Yuehu seemed a little unhappy. He said, "Why, don't you plan to buy it?"
No tomatoes = no money to buy meat = no meat to eat = hungry... Baiyue Fox's eyes darkened.
"No, no, no, I'll buy, buy, and buy." Chao Qianyu said aloud, "I bought them all!"
Bai Yuehu satisfactorily released the hand holding his shoulder and turned away.
Chao Qianyu let out a big sigh of relief, and said weakly, "Mr. Lu...I want all the tomatoes..."
Lu Qingjiu found that his ears and temples had two rows of water stains, which looked like cold sweats from fright. He didn't know what to say for a while.
"You can take the liberty to ask." Chao Qianyu seemed to remember something after relieving from that nervous state, and asked Lu Sake in a low voice, "Did you grow the tomatoes, Mr. Lu?"
"Tomato? No." Lu Qingjiu shook his head.
"Who planted that?" Chao Qianyu asked.
"It's Baiyue Fox." Lu Qingjiu said honestly.
Chao Qianyu showed an indescribable expression, because the expression was too complicated, Lu Qingjiu didn't know what it meant, but the consternation in it was still very obvious.
"Buy, I bought them all." Chao Qianyu said, "I want as much as I want... You, you must not be polite to me!"
Lu Qingjiu: "...Well, don't you force it?" He was afraid that Chao Qianyu had bought it because of Bai Yuehu. Who knows that as soon as he finished this sentence, Chao Qianyu said excitedly: "Don't force it, don't force it! Tomatoes will sell me after trouble, if anyone dares to me—I will kill him—"
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Well, it's hard for people now to understand.
