Chapter 57: Outsider

Lu Qingjiu sat in front of the tomb for a long time and talked a lot with his grandmother. Among them are Yin Xun who has become a mountain god, and Bai Yuehu, the tenant who just accidentally lost his tail. In the past, every time he saw his grandma's tomb, his heart was filled with sadness, regret and regret. He regretted that he had not rushed back here before grandma's death, and let her go alone.
Now returning to Shuifu Village to accompany her in another way, Lu Qingjiu's grief disappeared a lot. After he cleaned the snow on the tombstone and neatly placed the sacrifices in front of the tombstone, he smiled and said goodbye to his grandmother and got up and left.
After arriving home, neither Bai Yuehu nor Yin Xun dared to bother him. Their cautious appearance made Lu Qingjiu feel a little funny. He is also an adult. Even if he is in a bad mood, he will not take the people around him. leak.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Lu Qingjiu said a topic that he asked most often on weekdays.
"I want to eat hot pot." Yin Xun raised his hand, "the very spicy one."
"I can." Bai Yuehu said.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Then let's eat hot pot, it will start in spring soon, and clean up the rest of the ingredients to avoid waste."
Lu Qingjiu uses bean paste and butter spices to make a hot and spicy bottom of the pot. The soup is made of chicken broth. The color is bright red, with dried chili and Chinese pepper floating on it.
Some of the hot dishes in the hot pot are fresh meat brought back by the white moon fox, and some are frozen in the refrigerator. There are not too many vegetables. Only dried tribute and fungus and other foods that can be dried and eaten can be directly foamed with water. Up.
Lu Qingjiu's favorite wide noodles and bean curd have not fallen. Compared with Yin Xun's Baiyue Fox, he is completely a vegetarian animal.
Put the pot on the charcoal basin in the living room, and Lu Qingjiu greeted them to come for dinner.
Hot pot is really the best pastime in the winter. Friends and a few people are eating and chatting. They don’t have to worry about the coldness of the dishes. Instead, the more they eat, the hotter they get. Lu Qingjiu ate a big bite of their specialty wide noodles and swallowed them after chewing. Raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his nose. The wide noodles are made of sweet potatoes. They are hard when they are raw, but they become soft and glutinous after they are cooked. They are very tasty, and are a favorite ingredient of Lu Sake. The fresh meat brought back by the white moon fox is also delicious, sliced ​​into thin slices, and can be picked up after blanching in the red soup for more than ten seconds. It is not only spicy and delicious, but also the taste of the ingredients themselves.
The home was filled with a hot aroma, Lu Qingjiu took off his down jacket at the end, and there was a drop of sweat on the tip of his chin.
"It's so spicy." Yin Xun drank his saliva. "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be the last snow. The temperature should rise almost after the snow stops."
Spring is finally coming.
"I'm going to finish the sugar." Lu Qingjiu swallowed the meat and said, "You can think about what we will grow in spring."
"Either way." Yin Xun said, "I don't make a fuss."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Well, let's go to the town to take a look at the time. The snow was big last year, and the harvest this year is definitely good." Ruixue Zhaofeng has its own reason. Snow can kill most of the pests in the soil, and the seeds will go down in the coming year. The germination rate is up. Of course, their family doesn't have to worry about this at all. After all, there is a little farmer like Baiyue Fox, and Lu Qingjiu only needs to choose the dishes he wants.
As the temperature warmed up, the snow gradually melted. On the treetops on the roof, pieces of snow began to fall. When sleeping in the house at night, you could hear the movement of melting snow.
Yin Xun poked all the ice cones hanging on the eaves to prevent the ice cones from falling and hurting people when the snow melted. It is said that there have been such cases before. A girl walked under the eaves while melting snow, and then the ice cone fell directly and pierced her head, and the person was gone.
The difficult season is finally over, Lu Qingjiu is a little happy, he finally doesn't have to wrap himself up like a winter bear every day, he can wear light clothes.
At about the end of January, Su Yan sent Su Xi back. Also sent back was the Yushi concubine with an unhappy look. She was changed into a very cute tutu skirt, and she sat in Su Xi with a gloomy expression. Maomaoli. Su Xi’s simple clothes made of Lu Sake were replaced with delicate little padded jackets. I can see that the people who made this clothes did a good job of handwork. It’s a pity that Su Xi wearing a little padded jacket still looks like it because of the hair problem. Little VIP...
"This is the clothes my wife made for them." Su Yan handed Lu Qingjiu a huge pocket.
Lu Qingjiu looked at the clothes in his pocket and was stunned. At first he thought these were Suxi's daily necessities, but after looking at it, he realized that it was actually a bag of small clothes, and judging from the size of the clothes, it was obviously not. For the little fox, but for the Yushi concubine.
Su Yan gave a dry cough, and seemed to be a little embarrassed. He explained, "Su Xi his mother likes that little girl."
Lu Qingjiu: "...Huh?"
Su Yan said, "Isn't this the appearance of foxes when they were young? After being transformed into adults, they become adults, so we can't see children in human form." Not to mention this kind of thumb. A pretty cute girl, although the girl's identity is a bit horrible, but this does not prevent his wife from becoming maternal.
Lu Qingjiu seemed to understand the reason for Yu Shi's concubine's unhappy expression. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, I see."
"My wife also built a wooden house for her, saying that it could be placed next to Su Xi's nest." Su Yan said, "I'm causing you trouble."
"No, no." Lu Qingjiu saw the small wooden house that Su Yan said. The house was a two-story wooden building with a very beautiful structure. It seemed to contain beds and dressing tables. It seems that Su Xi's mother has completely regarded Yu Shi's concubine as a cute Barbie...
Su Yan put the things down and left. Yu Shi's concubine also disappeared inside Su Xi's collar. Lu Qingjiu moved the things to the side of Su Xi's den, folded the clothes one by one and put them in the cabin of the cabin. Seeing the little fox cub rolling into a ball with Xiaohua Xiaohei, for a time there was the illusion of being a mother. But fortunately, the appearance of Yin Xun made Lu Qingjiu erase this illusion, and he realized that he was just a father.
"The road in the town seems to be open." Yin Xun came back to report to Lu Qingjiu, "Let's drive the small truck to the town to eat Xiaolongbao."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Is this all through?"
Yin Xun said, "Yes, the temperature seems to have risen quite quickly this year."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Okay, then I will prepare. Let's go to town to buy some fresh dishes, and eat Xiaolongbao by the way. You can also call Baiyuehu."
"Good." Yin Xun happily ran away when he mentioned Xiao Long Bao.
Lu Qingjiu changed his clothes and drove the small truck parked at the door. Lu Qingjiu felt embarrassed that he didn't drive his small truck for almost a winter. However, during the coldest period, the pickup truck disappeared, and Lu Qingjiu asked Baiyuehu. Baiyuehu said that he had dug a hole to spend the winter. Not as soon as it warmed up, the small truck appeared at the door of Lu Qingjiu again.
Lu Qingjiu fed it the last remaining jelly candy. The small truck ate it very happily and screamed twice.
The three of them got into the small truck and walked outside the village. When they left the village, they met Uncle Chen. He saw Lu Qingjiu and said hello.
Winter has passed, the whole village has begun to recover, and villagers preparing for spring plowing can be seen on both sides of the road. This winter is not long, and it seems that everyone has not been particularly hard.
Lu Qingjiu drove the pickup truck up the mountain road.
There is still some unmelted snow on the mountain road, but it can be opened to traffic. The speed of the small truck is not fast, but it is stable enough. Even if Lu Qingjiu does not hold the steering wheel, it can drive well by itself, and it also remembers the mountain road. The trend of slowing down is slowed down in advance.
A few hours later, when they arrived in town, Lu Qingjiu parked the car and took the two children to the Xiaolongbao shop.
The town is different from Shuifu Village. It is quite lively. The shop owner has long been impressed with them because of the excellent appearance of the white moon fox and the amazing appetite. When he saw Lu Qingjiu coming, he smiled and greeted: " It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, let’s get ten cages like before?
"Yeah." Lu Qingjiu was sitting at the door, seeing the noise outside, there seemed to be people holding cameras and the like, and asked, "What are these people doing?"
"It seems to be filming some show." The boss reached out to Lu Qingjiu and the others to get Xiaolongbao. "I just arrived in town today and it was very noisy."
Lu Qingjiu watched curiously, Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun were not too interested. Instead of staring at people, they were more willing to focus on the hot steaming dumplings.
One bite of a bun, Yin Xun stuffed his face like a frog, eating very unsightly, but the white moon fox's face was obviously not big, but the bun entered his mouth but he couldn't see it at all. I don't know how big his mouth is.
Lu Qingjiu looked at it for a while and said, "These people don't look like here."
They are dressed very fashionably, incompatible with the simple temperament of the town here, there are still a few vans parked by their side, and there are people carrying cameras that seem to be shooting something. The one surrounded in the middle seemed to be a young man with beautiful silver-gray hair. Although his face could not be seen with his back facing Lu Sake, he could tell from his straight back that his temperament was somewhat different from ordinary people.
Lu Qingjiu looked at it for a while, then retracted his gaze. This person seemed to be a star. But he doesn't chase stars, and he rarely watches dramas. Most of the stars know their names but don't look right.
Seeing that Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun hadn't eaten enough, Lu Qingjiu said, "You continue to eat, I'll go buy some seeds first."
"I'm enough." Yin Xun had eaten more than twenty, his belly bulged, "I'll be with you."
"The moon fox, you eat first." Lu Qingjiu said, "We will come to you when we finish buying."
Bai Yuehu nodded.
Lu Qingjiu first went to the boss to pay a few hundred yuan, and then went to the place where he sold seeds with Yin. This year Lu Qingjiu is economically prosperous, and he plans to take back all the land he rented out to grow his own. Of course, he also asked Baiyue Fox in advance. Baiyue Fox said that there is no pressure on him for a variety of plots, so Lu Qingjiu Just do what you want.
Lu Qingjiu wants to grow a lot of things, and the things that the white moon fox grows are better than those bought in town. Last year's tomato and cucumber are the best examples.
Lu Qingjiu bought a lot of seeds and seedlings, and asked the boss if he had any seedlings of fruit trees. The boss said there is no one now, and he wants the goods to come back later. Lu Qingjiu left the phone number and asked the boss to call him after purchasing the goods.
After shopping, Lu Qingjiu remembered something. He took out his mobile phone and called Zhu Miaomiao, telling her that the snow melted here.
Zhu Miaomiao said, "You are so worried about me. It just disappeared for two months, and there was no movement during the New Year."
"I forgot..." Lu Qingjiu said, "The signal in the village is intermittent, sometimes no signal. There happened to be no signal during the New Year. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Zhu Miaomiao said, "That's OK, I'll come over to see you during the holiday."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Hey, you can send me some of that kind of sweets. I'm out of stock at home."
Zhu Miaomiao smiled and said angrily: "I think you can only call me when the sugar is finished. Is the sugar so delicious?"
Lu Qingjiu answered honestly: "It's delicious." Everyone likes it very much. Even the small trucks are very happy to eat.
Zhu Miaomiao said Shengxing and hung up the phone.
Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun returned to the shop selling Xiaolongbao with the goods they bought, brought Baiyuehu to go home. Just before returning home, Lu Qingjiu noticed that the group of people at the door just now seemed to be arguing with the police in the town. Hu Shu was among them. He seemed to be arguing with people about something, frowning and very unhappy. Look like. Pang Ziqi stood next to him and almost did it several times, but was stopped by Hu Shu.
"Why is this?" Lu Qingjiu didn't understand.
"I don't know." Yin Xun shook his head to indicate that he didn't understand.
If you don't understand it, you won't read it. Lu Qingjiu felt that this matter had nothing to do with him or not to mix it up. The three of them returned to the truck with the harvest and went home.
Seeing that spring is beginning, although there are many things to do at home, Lu Qingjiu is in a good mood. After all, he doesn't have to live by the charcoal basin every day, and he has taken off his heavy winter clothes, and he is also a lot more flexible.
Taking advantage of the good weather, Lu Qingjiu cleaned the whole house, including the well in the backyard. He cleaned all the moss and stains on the well, and offered new sacrifices and joss sticks to the lady ghost.
After the winter, the electric wires and network cables were repaired, and Lu Qingjiu's Taobao store opened again. Although he was mentally prepared for a long time, he was shocked by the large amount of information when he opened his chat software. He didn't dare to click to open it, and directly changed the profile of the store, saying that his store opened again in the middle of the day. This time because it had been closed for two months, he made up for the first two months and sold 30 bottles at once.
After finishing the shop, Lu Qingjiu turned off the computer. He had too many things to do, and he had no time to rest.
The yard needs to be cleaned up carefully. Some of the chicken coops are crushed by the snow and must be refurbished, and the family bedding has to be dragged to the yard to be sterilized in the sun. In short, spring is the busiest season.
The whole village is alive, there is no winter silence, and dogs and chickens are talking about each other everywhere.
Lu Qingjiu was studying how to repair his chicken coop, and he heard a loud noise outside. It seemed that a large group of people were talking. It happened that Yin Xun came back from the outside, and Lu Qingjiu asked him what's wrong outside.
"Do you remember the group of people we saw in the bun shop that day?" Yin Xun said, "They ran into our village."
"Huh?" Lu Qingjiu was taken aback, "what are they here for?"
"I don't know." Yin Xun was also a little inexplicable, "they are quite a lot of people, twenty or thirty, and they are carrying the camera..."
After hearing the words, Lu Qingjiu walked to the door and took a look, and found the group of people gathered in an old house not far from their home. Everyone in the house has left Shuifu Village, and no one has lived in it for a long time. Judging from the posture of the group of people, it seems that they want to live in it.
Other villagers also looked at this group of people from a distance. Some were wary and others were curious. The connection between Shuifu Village and the outside world was very weak, and it had been a long time since so many strangers suddenly visited.
Lu Qingjiu looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt that one of the faces was familiar, but he couldn't remember it, so he simply took a picture with his mobile phone and sent it to Zhu Miaomiao on WeChat, asking her if she knew him. Zhu Miaomiao is a star chaser and knows the entertainment circle very well.
Soon, Zhu Miaomiao returned a message to Lu Qingjiu, saying that Lu Qingjiu was a star, and asked where Lu Qingjiu took the photo.
"It's in the village," Lu Qingjiu said. "A group of people came to Shuifu Village and it was very noisy."
"He went to Shuifu Village?!" Zhu Miaomiao said in surprise, "I heard that he seemed to have picked up a large variety show... actually went to Shuifu Village to shoot?"
"It seems so." Lu Qingjiu said, "I saw the camera crew."
Zhu Miaomiao was eager to hear the words: "It's great, I also find time to come over, I also want to watch hahaha." The shooting location of this kind of variety show is very remote, and the whole process is kept secret, otherwise it is easy to be watched by fans and the show cannot go on. Case.
Lu Qingjiu has no interest in celebrities. He just thinks that these people are a bit noisy and are incompatible with the quiet Shuifu Village. He glanced twice, then went on to do his own work.
In the next few days, Lu Qingjiu heard the gossip of these people from Uncle Li next door. It is said that they had leased the right to use the house for three months, specifically for filming shows. The village chief and the villagers were not very welcome to the arrival of this group of people. The village chief tried to let them leave, but ultimately failed. The program team stated that they have the right to live here after spending money, and that they will not disturb the normal life of the villagers...
The village chief had no choice but to let them go.
Listening to Uncle Li’s words, Lu Qingjiu thought that Hu Shu seemed to be arguing with them when he saw this group of people a few days ago, and he didn’t know what they were arguing about. He thought about it and gave Hu Shu to go. I made a call and wanted to ask about the situation.
After receiving the call, Hu Shu complained to Lu Qingjiu, saying that they had persuaded this group not to come to Shuifu Village, but this group did not listen at all. They also said that Shuifu Village is not suitable for outsiders to enter, and many people go there. Now that something might happen, this group of people completely took Hu Shu and Pang Ziqi's persuasion as deaf ears, and went directly to Shuifu Village a few days later.
"Sake, please watch them more. I always have a bad feeling." Hu Shu said, "I feel that these people are going to cause a big disaster."
Lu Qingjiu said: "How can I see so many people."
"Oh, yes, I can only let them go." Hu Shu said, "It's really hard to persuade you to die..."
Lu Qingjiu: "Why do they have to choose Shuifu Village for shooting?"
Hu Shu said, "I don't know who told them that the environment in Shuifu Village is good, the place is not easy to be discovered by fans, so I just moved in?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "Oh, that's it." Thinking about it, it seems that what these people said makes sense. "But just live in. Shuifu Village is quite safe and there is no danger."
Hu Shu: "..." It didn't exist before, but it's not necessarily anymore. He didn't dare to say this, but um, ah, perfunctory.
Lu Qingjiu didn't think much about it, and chatted with Hu Shu again and hung up the phone.
Shuifu Village is not very big, and it only takes 20 minutes to walk from one end of the village to the other. The news that these people have lived in the village spread quickly, and the villagers were all curious about the old house. look.
Lu Qingjiu also learned from Zhu Miaomiao that what they wanted to record was a rural life program, probably because the guests needed to find and cook their own food. The program team would not provide any food.
When Yin Xun found out, he felt that these people were really idle. In his good days, he had to go to this small place to suffer.
Bai Yuehu didn't say anything, but Lu Qingjiu keenly felt that his mood didn't seem to be very good, and he lay on the chair to rest with his eyes closed.
Yin Xun said, "And why would anyone rent out the old house... It's really strange."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Who was living there before?"
"Don't you remember? It's the family named Liu." Yin Xun said, "Once I went to the city to play, but the child was in a car accident and disappeared. Then they left Shuifu Village...I don't know. Where did they go." He is just the mountain of Shuifu Village.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Have they come back?"
"No." Yin Xun said, "I never saw them again."
Lu Qingjiu thinks this is indeed a bit strange. If the family named Liu leaves here, then who rents their house to the show crew? If they didn't leave, why did Yin Xun never see them again? Or did they just move to the town?
Lu Qingjiu said, "Well, leave them alone. Go wash the rice and prepare for dinner."
"Okay." Yin Xun went to wash the rice happily. Whatever the group of people do, whether they can eat delicious meals or not is what he cares most about.
After Yin Xun left, Lu Qingjiu was about to ask Bai Yuehu what he wanted to eat, but he heard a knock on the door. He walked to the door and opened the door and saw a strange face. The humane said, "Sorry. Fellow, can you borrow some rice from your house?"
Lu Qingjiu: "Borrow rice?"
The human said: "Yes, we want to cook, but there is no more rice."
Lu Qingjiu saw the camera behind him and knew that these people were doing a show. After thinking about it, he asked Yin Xun to put a small bag of rice out of the house in a plastic bag and handed it to him: "I suggest you don't do this. Asking from door to door, here is more exclusive, you can't borrow anything like this."
The man took the bag of rice and thanked him with a smile, but obviously he didn't take Lu Qingjiu's words to his heart. After all, he just opened the door and borrowed it.
Lu Qingjiu walked to the door and saw the white moon fox who had closed his eyes and opened his eyes, with a gloomy expression in his eyes. Lu Qingjiu suddenly reacted... it's over, his vixen is not an ordinary food protector.
