Chapter 25: true and false

"Cruel God?" To be honest, when he heard these two words, Lu Qingjiu felt an unusual breath, which is difficult to describe in words, as if these two words were spit out from his mouth, both are one. Kind of taboo.
"Yes." Bai Yuehu held the photo in his hand, and his eyes showed a strong interest. It was the first time that Lu Qingjiu saw his expression. At first glance, it looked like he was eager to try.
"But, what is the difference between Fierce God... and ordinary spirits?" Lu Qingjiu continued to ask the question in his heart.
"Naturally, it is different." Baiyuehu said, "God needs faith to live. Gods without faith are better than spirits." His voice was slow and patiently explained with Lu Sake, "The spirits have gained faith. Can become a god, have you read the Journey to the West written by humans?"
"I've seen it." Lu Qingjiu nodded and mentioned Journey to the West. He probably understood the hidden meaning in Baiyuehu's words, "You mean that Monkey King was also a spirit before he became a fighting and defeating Buddha? Spirits can become gods. , Then God... will degenerate into a spirit?"
"No." Baiyue Fox said, "Although the has fallen, he is also a god, but his temperament will become distorted and may even become an evil god." He said, "So I saw an unknown shrine on the roadside, but Don't worship it casually."
Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "Naturally not." He is not the kind of person who is interested in gods. Then, Lu Qingjiu turned his attention to the photo and said, "So the one who did this is a fallen god?"
"It's not necessarily depravity." Baiyuehu laughed, his smile was somewhat contented, like a beast that had found its prey, and even with a bit of longing, "But depravity or not, this kind of It must taste good."
Lu Qingjiu: "...Can you eat it?"
Bai Yuehu said: "Yes."
Lu Qingjiu has a complicated mood: "Is it delicious?"
"It must be delicious." Baiyue Fox said decisively.
Hearing what he said, Lu Qingjiu knew that he must have eaten it before, and it was very likely that he had eaten more than one. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only blink his eyes and tentatively asked: "Then this..."
Bai Yuehu said, "I'll go out and have a look tonight." See if I can eat it directly.
What he said was to answer the matter, and Lu Qingjiu was relieved. Since Bai Yuehu is so interested in the evil god, the evil will definitely not continue to commit crimes and kill people, and Hu Shu's pressure on them has also been reduced. a lot of.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Well, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Bai Yuehu said: "Eat meat..."
His obsession with meat still hasn't diminished.
So in the evening, Lu Qingjiu made a potato braised pork. The meat is farm pork. It is cut into small pieces and then stir-fried. Then it is put into the pot and stewed with the potatoes. The fat of the meat is stir-fried and becomes very It is elastic, fat and thin, and it is not greasy to eat in the mouth. Potatoes are full of the scent of gravy, which is more delicious than meat, which makes people move their index fingers. Lu Qingjiu knew that his two had a big appetite, so he cooked a lot. After Yin Xun finished eating, he used the gravy to soak a large bowl of rice and swallowed them all up.
After eating, Baiyue Fox went to wash the dishes, and then left the yard. Lu Qingjiu knew that he was going to find the of fierceness, so he didn't ask him, but told him to pay attention to safety and return early.
It's just that after he finished speaking, Bai Yuehu glanced at him strangely, and looked at Lu Qingjiu inexplicably: "What are you looking at me for?"
Bai Yuehu said: "No one has ever told me to pay attention to safety."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." He was silent for three seconds, then added in a low voice, "I mean, pay attention to food safety, don't...don't eat your stomach."
Bai Yuehu nodded and left with satisfaction.
Lu Qingjiu looked at his back, thinking that it was incredible that he could satisfy him...
"Hey? Where is the Baiyue Fox going?" Yin Xun didn't know when he came out of the house, and said, "Isn't he always still not moving except for the food? How can he be idle today? go for a walk."
Lu Qingjiu said, "I went out to find food..."
Yin Xun scratched his chin: "...what are you looking for?"
Lu Qingjiu shrugged and did not answer.
Fortunately, Yin Xun wasn't particularly interested in the whereabouts of the white moon fox, so he changed the subject immediately and eagerly said, "Well, when will our watermelon be ripe?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "Come on, I will try two when Baiyuehu comes back." Their fruits usually ripen earlier than others, and the quality is good. The watermelon in the ground has already produced fruit. It's big and round, the sound is crisp when shot, and it tastes good.
"Okay." Yin Xun said, "I'll go back first. You should pay attention to your own safety at home. Yesterday, I heard my aunt next door said that three people died in the town. It's not peaceful recently."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Okay, I see, so are you."
Yin Xun nodded and left.
Lu Qingjiu played with Xiaohua Xiaohei in the yard for a while, then watched the chickens return to the chicken pen before going to wash and sleep.
Bai Yuehu said that he came back the night after tomorrow, so he shouldn't have to cook so much for these two days. Although Yin Xun ate a lot, it was a normal person's appetite. Lu Qingjiu fell into a deep dream after thinking about it.
The next morning, Lu Qingjiu got up early and went to the field first. Today, there is no white moon fox watering, all he has to do. I have to say that Lu Qingjiu has rarely used the ground before. After I went to the ground in person, I discovered that farming is really not easy and pleasant. Just picking water is annoying enough, let alone weeding and fertilizing. Lu Qingjiu thought that he must treat Bai Yuehu better in the future, after all, he has contracted the most difficult thing in the family.
After finishing the farm work, Lu Qingjiu went home and didn't have much energy to cook. Yin Xun stood up at this time and said that he would use his own power to protect Lu Qingjiu-to make a bowl of egg noodles for him.
Lu Qingjiu, who still wanted to live a few more years, expressed his touch, and then rejected Yin Xun and opened the instant noodles that had been sealed for a long time.
Yin Xun expressed aggrievedly why he could not give him another chance.
"Because there is only one life." Lu Qingjiu patted him on the shoulder.
Yin Xun: "..."
Lu Qingjiu: "Or you can eat your own rice?"
Yin Xun thought for a while, and he took out another bucket of instant noodles from Lu Qingjiu's cabinet and ate them silently with Lu Qingjiu. The person who loves to eat in the family has left, and the standard of living can be said to have plummeted...
However, I haven't eaten instant noodles for a long time, and once in a while, I feel pretty good. Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun went to lunch after they were full.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Qingjiu, who was still asleep, was woken up by a phone call. He picked up the phone and saw Hu Shu's name on it.
"Hey, Officer Hu, what's the matter?" Lu Qingjiu rubbed his eyes, his tone was tired.
"Is it Mr. Lu?" Hu Shu's voice was slightly anxious.
"It's me, what's the matter?" Lu Qingjiu said.
"Here I need you to come to the police station right away." Hu Shu said, "Something new happened."
"What's the matter?" When Lu Qingjiu heard his tone, he felt that the matter seemed a bit serious, and he immediately woke up and said, "What happened?"
Hu Shu said: "There are new dead!"
Lu Qingjiu said: "The new dead?!" He sat upright from the bed and confirmed, "When did it happen?"
"About eleven o'clock in the morning." Hu Shu said, "the body was found near the police station."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Then... Can I help me?" He is just an ordinary person. This case is obviously non-human. Even if he wants to do something, he is probably powerless.
"Please come to the police station. This deceased may have something to do with you." Hu Shu said, "It is not convenient to talk on the phone."
Lu Qingjiu said: "It has something to do with me?!" For an instant, many possibilities flashed through his mind. His first reaction was that the corpse was a white moon fox, and the white moon fox was killed by a fierce during the hunt. After that, a more terrifying speculation emerged in my heart-according to Hu Shu's previous statement, after the death of the deceased, the family did not notice any strangeness in him, which means that even if the person is his relatives and friends, the evil spirits are killing After he dies, he will turn into relatives and friends and continue to hide his identity, and in the small village of Shuifu, Lu Qingjiu has only one human friend... Could it be Yin Xun that unexpectedly happened? !
Thinking that he was still eating instant noodles with Yin Xun at noon today, Lu Qingjiu got goose bumps on his arm, but the most emotional thing was still worried. If something happened to Yin Xun...
"Okay, I'll come right away." Lu Qingjiu no longer wasted time, got up to change clothes and went out.
He didn't dare to find Yin Xun first to confirm this. If it was Yin Xun who had the trouble, then he would definitely be stunned in the past, and he might even get in.
In fact, the person Lu Qingjiu wants to contact most now is Baiyuehu, but Baiyuehu doesn't use a mobile phone, so he can only wait for him to come back.
Lu Qingjiu drove the pickup truck to the town.
"Hey, hurry up this time, we are in a hurry." Lu Qingjiu touched the steering wheel and discussed with his minivan, "OK?"
The small truck banged twice, as if telling Lu Qingjiu that it understood.
Lu Qingjiu happily touched it twice. This time the small truck was really upbeat, gritted its teeth and ran forward. The usual two-hour journey was abruptly shortened by it to one hour. Drag racing on mountain roads is a very dangerous thing, but the small truck really does not need Lu Qingjiu to control the steering wheel, so there is no need to worry about traffic accidents.
During this period, Lu Qingjiu called Yin Xun and asked what he was doing.
"Me? I took a nap and got up now in the field." Yin Xun said, "I'm going to get some cabbage seeds...what's wrong?"
Lu Qingjiu thought for a while and said, "By the way, do you remember the things we went to the mountains to play when we were young?"
"When I was young, I went to the mountains to play?" Yin Xun asked, "What's the matter?"
"Don't you like eating thorn paw the most?" Lu Qingjiu said, "Let's wait for the summer to pick some up on the mountain?" The scientific name of thorn pao is raspberry, which tastes sweet and sour. It is a wild fruit that many children like. When it is ripe, it is purple. Lu Qingjiu did often pick it and eat it when they were young.
"Don't go!" Yin Xun said, "You want to fix me?!" Who knows Yin Xun denied Lu Qingjiu's statement, "It is delicious, but it has so many thorns, I am allergic to thorns, you Forgot that I almost went to the hospital once?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "Oh, I remember."
Yin Xun said, "What's the matter with you? It's weird."
"It's okay." Lu Qingjiu said, "you plant cabbage first, and I will tell you tonight."
"Okay." Yin Xun seemed to be busy too, and hung up the phone without entanglement.
Those words just now are indeed Lu Qingjiu testing Yin Xun. Yin Xun has a special physique and is allergic to many things. The thorns of wild fruits are one of them. If Yin Xun agrees to Lu Qingjiu's invitation frankly, Lu Qingjiu will probably know it, but now Lu Qingjiu has not found anything unusual in Yin Xun.
Lu Qingjiu felt that this matter became more convoluted.
After more than ten minutes, the small truck drove to the door of the police station. Lu Qingjiu called Hu Shu and saw Hu Shu come out of it.
"Let's talk in another place." Hu Shu said with a serious expression after getting in the car.
"Where to talk?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"Just the teahouse nearby, I'll show you the way, and you will drive forward." Hu Shu said.
Lu Qingjiu felt a little strange, and he said, "Why not talk in the police station?"
Hu Shu said: "The police station is in chaos right now. I am looking for you in private. It would not be good if our leaders knew about it."
There seems to be some truth, Lu Qingjiu started the car.
Hu Shu pointed the road to Lu Qingjiu and let Lu Qingjiu go out from the other side of the town. The location of the town is relatively off, and it takes more than half an hour to get to the city. The road is relatively deserted, with only sparse residents. As soon as Lu Qingjiu left the town, he vaguely felt something was wrong. He glanced at Hu Shu and tentatively said: "Officer Hu, may I ask where we are going."
Hu Shu looked ahead and said lightly: "Go ahead."
Hearing this, Lu Qingjiu stepped on the brake and said, "Officer Hu?"
Hu Shu turned to look at Lu Sake and said, "Why did you stop?"
Lu Qingjiu took a deep breath, and he said, "I don't want to drive forward anymore. If you have anything to trouble you, please tell me now. What does the dead have to do with me?"
Hu Shu said: "Do you want to smoke a cigarette?"
Lu Qingjiu shook his head.
Hu Shu didn't mind. He took a cigarette from his pocket and took a heavy sip. He said, "Actually, I'm a poor policeman."
Lu Qingjiu frowned. He listened to Hu Shu's words, but his body began to lean towards the door, ready to jump off the car at any time.
Hu Shu said, "Are you so afraid of me? Or did you notice something?"
From seeing Hu Shu, Lu Qingjiu felt that something was wrong with him, especially his request to go to other places to talk with him in detail, which was full of violations. Now that he refused to tell what was going on, he almost verified Lu Qingjiu's conjecture.
"Your name is Lu Qingjiu, right?" Hu Shu laughed. His smile was full of a very uncomfortable evil. The eyes looking at Lu Qingjiu also contained creepy longing. He said, "My name is Hu Shu, nice to meet you."
After he said this, he pounced on Lu Sake.
Lu Qingjiu was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly dodged. The small truck also opened the door to the face of the car. Lu Qingjiu jumped out of the car and did not let Hu Shu pounce. However, Hu Shu looked at Lu Qingjiu outside the car coldly. Laughed. He was not in a panic, as if convinced that Lu Qingjiu could not escape, he unhurriedly opened the door on the other side, got off the other side and walked towards Lu Qingjiu.
Lu Qingjiu watched his movements, and an idea came to his mind.
However, before he moved, Hu Shu smiled and said, "I advise you not to do this."
Lu Qingjiu said: "What?!"
Hu Shu didn't speak, with a cigarette in his mouth, smiling at Lu Qingjiu, but one hand reached into his pocket and took out something. Lu Qingjiu stood in front of him, clearly seeing the thing. Appearance-it was a black pistol.
Hu Shu grabbed the gun, opened the insurance with a click, and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Are you that fierce god?"
Hu Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, his eyes were a little weird: "How would you know? You are not a human?"
As soon as he said this, he recognized his identity indirectly. Lu Qingjiu did not expect that Hu Shu, who had just met the day before, would encounter such a thing the next day. I am afraid he told himself before that he was in the ditch near the police station. The corpse found here is not a rumor—the corpse should be the real Hu Shu.
"Do you have any last words you want to say?" Hu Shu took the gun and walked towards Lu Sake, "Hurry up and say it now."
The current situation is really crisis. The distance between Lu Qingjiu and Hu Shu is less than three meters. Hu Shu can penetrate his body as soon as he raises his hand. Lu Qingjiu’s only chance is to bite the bullet and rush into the small truck. If you can get into the cab, there may be a silver lining.
But obviously Hu Shu had already guessed his thoughts. He said, "Don't go into the cab, stay where you are, maybe there is still a chance."
Lu Qingjiu took a step back.
Hu Shu had already walked in front of him. He said, "Yes, that's it, very good..." He walked slowly in front of Lu Qingjiu, but he never fired a shot. Instead, he held it against him. Lu Qingjiu's chin said, "Do you know why I kill people?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "How do I know."
"Because humans are so interesting." Hu Shu tilted his head, slid the gun along Lu Sake's chin, slid over his neck, and reached Lu Sake's chest. He said, "Humans have everything, okay. The bad ones, the ones I like, and the ones I don't like, as long as I pull the trigger, you are dead...Are you afraid?"
Lu Qingjiu looked at Hu Shu coldly, and he said, "No one is afraid of death." He said so, but there was no fear in his eyes that Hu Shu wanted to see. Hu Shu sighed and said: "You are the calmest one I have ever seen, very interesting."
Lu Qingjiu said: "What else do you want to do?"
Hu Shu said, "How do you know what I want to do?"
"If you didn't want to do anything, you should have shot." Lu Qingjiu said.
"Smart." Hu Shu laughed, "I like to deal with smart people." He slowly removed the tip of the gun, and said, "Actually, I am a little tired of such boring massacres, so you can play with me. Is the game good?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "Game?"
Hu Shu said, "Did you see this gun? There is only one bullet in it. One person shoots at the other side until the other side dies."
Lu Qingjiu looked at Hu Shu without speaking.
"Playing?" Hu Shu seemed impatient with Lu Qingjiu's silence.
"Okay." In such a situation, he would die if he didn't agree. Hu Shu laughed after hearing Lu Qingjiu's answer, as if he was in a good mood. He said, "You come first, or me first?"
"Let me go first." Lu Qingjiu said, he wanted to see if Hu Shu would give him the gun.
What he didn't expect was that after listening to what he said, Hu Shu actually handed the pistol to him very calmly, and said very gentlemanly: "Please."
Lu Qingjiu licked his lips and held the gun in his hand. The gun was cold, and the sweat in his palm was hot. Lu Qingjiu squeezed the gun. His voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because of nervousness. He said, "You are not afraid, do I shoot you directly? "
Hu Shu said, "You can try."
Under normal circumstances, everyone will be in fear in the face of such non-human things, and it is not impossible to hit Hu Shu with a gun. Lu Qingjiu thought quickly. He felt that Hu Shu's behavior was full of a weird sense of disobedience. He could kill himself directly. Why did he choose such a time-consuming method? Is it really just for entertainment as he said? But the bullet in this gun was uplifted by Hu Shu himself, and because of his non-human identity, it was very simple to cheat. Lu Qingjiu thought, so what did he miss.
"Shoot." Hu Shu said.
Lu Qingjiu squeezed the first trigger, and there was a soft click, and no bullets were shot. Lu Qingjiu was relieved and felt a panic of fear, but he forcibly restrained his idea of ​​firing a second shot at Hu Shu , But returned the gun to Hu Shu's hand.
"You really paid it back to me." I didn't expect that after Hu Shu took the gun, he said, "I thought you would continue shooting."
"I think." Lu Qingjiu said, "but you should have a way to prevent me from driving."
Hu Shu said, "Maybe I just lied to you?"
Lu Qingjiu looked at him.
Hu Shu said, "Perhaps I am just a lunatic and want to play a game of life with you..."
Lu Qingjiu sneered: "If you were just a lunatic who didn't think about anything, there wouldn't be those four corpses."
Hu Shu nodded appreciatively when he heard the words. He said, "You are very smart." He pulled the trigger.
"Kacha." Listening to the soft sound, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Lu Qingjiu's back, but fortunately, apart from the soft sound, there was no deadly fire - this was another empty gun.
"You are lucky." Hu Shu smiled.
Lu Qingjiu let out a breath and stretched out his hand towards Hu Shu, he wanted to see if Hu Shu would give him the gun. But Hu Shu didn't hesitate, put the pistol in Lu Qingjiu's palm, and said, "Please."
Lu Qingjiu was holding the gun, but he noticed that there was something more in Hu Shu's eyes than before. It was neither fear nor worry, but excitement, uncontrollable excitement.
Obviously the gun is in his hand, why is Hu Shu excited? Lu Qingjiu felt that he had caught something. He looked at the gun in his hand and then at the fierce opposite him. An incredible thought came out of his mind. This idea was so absurd that he had some doubts whether he was too worried.
"Shoot." However, the next moment, Hu Shu's words made Lu Qingjiu affirm his thoughts.
