MTL - Fantasy Farm-Chapter 31 Tree spirit

"Sorry, I really didn't expect it to be such a thing." Although Wu Xiao was shocked by the facts before him, he could only accept this incredible answer. Although he could see ghosts when he was young, he has been growing up. After he was born, he hardly touched this aspect again. He thought that he had lost this ability, but he didn't expect that he had been in contact with ghosts all the time, but he didn't realize it...

Wu Xiao looked at Lu Qingjiu and said seriously: "I am willing to provide generous compensation for the dismissal of you. If you are willing, I would like to invite you back to the company again..." His tone and eyes were very sincere and could see Chu Shi sincerely apologized to Lu Qingjiu.

Lu Qingjiu refused. He refused calmly: "You don't need to feel guilty. In fact, even if there is no such incident, I will resign by myself."

"Why?" Wu Xiao asked suspiciously, "You...not to comfort me?"

"Of course not." Lu Qingjiu said with a smile, "It's not that a child is bullied and he needs to find a parent. If I really don't want to leave, I will definitely ask you for an explanation because of my dismissal." It can be solved, naturally it does not have to continue to this day.

When Wu Xiao thought about it, it was indeed the case. After he informed Lu Qingjiu that he would either dismiss him or be fired, Lu Qingjiu accepted the facts calmly and never even argued. At that time, Wu Xiao thought he was guilty of conscience, but now that he thinks about it, I am afraid there is something else. Naturally, the reason for dismissing Lu Qingjiu was not because of Lu Qingjiu's gossip, but because Wu Xiao heard in the toilet that Lu Qingjiu described in great detail a project plan of his company that was about to be finalized. Wu Xiao was hearing this content. Later, he was determined to expel Lu Qingjiu.

Seeing the complex expression on Wu Xiao’s face, Lu Qingjiu naturally guessed what his boss was thinking. He patted Wu Xiao on the shoulder and smiled: “You really don’t have to be too guilty. I resigned. I chose it myself."

"Then why are you resigning?" Wu Xiao still didn't want to let it go.

"Something happened in my house." Lu Qingjiu's answer to this was very perfunctory, obviously not planning to explain the reason in detail with Wu Xiao.

Wu Xiao wanted to ask again, but the old tree who was ignored in the toilet screamed: "Jiuer, wine, you are finally back, I miss you so much, no one talks to me after you leave, I am fine Boring." He still uses Lu Qingjiu's voice, but the tone is very different, more like a naive young person.

It is said that the old tree has lived here for almost two hundred years, and the root system has spread to many places, but although for humans, two hundred years is enough for the vicissitudes of life, but for them, the old tree claims to be a child. It is not without reason.

But Lu Qingjiu has habitually called him Laoshu.

"Well, I'm leaving, I may rarely come back in the future." Lu Qingjiu said to the old tree, "You have to be well yourself."

The old tree was silent for a moment: "Where have you been?"

"I'm back to my hometown." Lu Qingjiu said, "You wait, I'll go over and see you later."

The old tree said: "Okay, I must come."

Listening to the conversation of one person and one tree, Wu Xiao looked envious. He said, "Is he talking every day?"

"Yes." Lu Qingjiu said, "talking every day."

There are very few people in Lao Shu’s tribe, and there are even fewer spiritual things that can communicate with him. Ever since he discovered that Lu Qingjiu could hear himself, Lao Shu started to think about it in the toilet every day, when Lu Qingjiu went to the toilet, when no one was there. Occasionally I will chat with him.

"I heard about it three or four times in half a year." Wu Xiao said, "one of them was still talking about me..."

Lu Qingjiu said, "What did you say?"

Wu Xiao gave a dry cough and turned the subject away: "Stop talking about this, is there a way I can hear him often?"

Lu Qingjiu thought for a while, but didn't answer. He really had nothing to do, but he went back and asked Bai Yuehu what he could do. In fact, Wu Xiao had a good character and was quite righteous. There was nothing big besides his temper that almost liked targeting himself. Black spots, the old tree is really lonely after he left, and it would be nice to leave someone to talk to the old tree.

"Mr. Wu, that's it for today." Lu Qingjiu said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave."

Wu Xiao said: "Okay, you can help me if you have anything." Although Lu Qingjiu said that he didn't care about being expelled, Wu Xiao still had a sense of guilt in his heart.

Lu Qingjiu nodded, turned and left.

After leaving the company, he did not rush to drive home, but went to the park near the company, where the old tree is located. He still wanted to talk to the old tree, but Wu Xiao was there, so he could not speak.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the streets began to become empty, and the wind became cooler, and it hit people's faces with an inexplicable comfort. Lu Qingjiu walked into the park and saw a lush and dense tree before he even went in. Because it is midsummer, the leaves on the tree canopy cover the sky, almost covering most of the square. Lu Qingjiu smiled, walked up to the big tree, sat on the flower bed, stretched out his hand and gently touched the rough tree trunk: "I'm back."

The trunk of the old tree trembled, as if it had been scratched, and large tracts of leaves fell from the sky, sprinkling like a heavy rain.

The old tree said: "Is it going well in the old house?"

"Successfully." Lu Qingjiu, "The old house is pretty good, but I don't have a clue about what I want to know."

The old tree said: "That might be just a guess."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Even if it is a guess, I have to try it." He leaned against the tree trunk and muttered, "I am the only one left anyway."

From the accidental death of his parents to the death of his grandmother due to illness, Lu Qingjiu's connection with the whole world has become weaker and weaker. He was busy working part-time when he was in college, and then he had to devote all his energy to work after entering society. Although the relationship between his work partner and him is also good, there are some things that are hard to tell. At this time, Lu Qingjiu met the old tree, a long-winded tree spirit who liked to talk but couldn't find a person to talk to.

One person and one tree gradually became acquainted with each other. Later, what happened to Lu Qingjiu, he habitually told the old tree, the old tree also told him a lot of things, he wanted to know, did not want to know.

Tree tribes are different from humans. They are born with inherited memories and know many private things and methods.

Six months ago, the old tree awakened a new ability to divination according to the eight characters of a person's birthday. At that time, the old tree originally wanted to buy Lu Qingjiu, but in the end he was rejected by Lu Qingjiu. He did not want to understand his future through the hexagram image. However, he gave the old tree the birthdates of his parents and asked him to divination.

After the hexagram came out, the old tree was a little strange after reading it. He said: "It's weird. Your parents are both very good. The relationship between the two is also a match made in heaven... But why did it end like this?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "It shouldn't be like this?"

"...It's really weird to fly in misfortune." The old tree said, "Hey, it may be that I'm not sure, don't take it seriously..."

Lu Qingjiu remained silent after listening, but soon resigned from the company and planned to return to his hometown.

The old tree knew that Lu Qingjiu took what he said to his heart, but he didn't know how to persuade Lu Qingjiu. Seeing Lu Qingjiu's decision, he could only wish Lu Qingjiu a smooth journey.

But now it seems that Lu Qingjiu's return to the old house does not seem to be a bad thing, at least the old tree feels that his vitality has grown a lot, and it feels much better than when he was working at the unit.

"I met a lot of people in the old house." Lu Qingjiu smiled and said to the old tree, "I also met a beautiful vixen."

The old tree said: "The vixen? Really? I haven't seen a vixen yet."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Naturally it is true." He told the old tree a lot of interesting things about the old house. The old tree listened with relish and envied him, "I really envy you guys who can walk around, and I want to see it elsewhere. Look."

"Can you transform yourself?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

"I don't know." The old tree said, "But even if it is transformed, it will be a thousand years later..." His tone fell down, "At that time, I didn't know what the world was like."

Lu Qingjiu touched his rough skin: "It's okay, time will pass quickly."

The two chatted a lot, and the old tree also told Lu Qingjiu about the gossip that happened in the company after he left. For example, a and b talked about office love and did not dare to make it public, only to find that both of them had cheated on other lovers in private. , And finally forced a meal in the company, all resigned. Another example is that Wu Xiao’s hemorrhoids have healed a bit recently, but because he had a drink last week, he almost suffered from acute blood loss...

Seeing that the old tree talked endlessly, Lu Qingjiu could only stop quickly. With the old tree's verbose level, he could talk about these little things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains all night.

"I will go back tomorrow morning." Lu Qingjiu still remembered the two people at home who could not cook. "I will go back and ask if there is a way for Wu Xiao to hear you."

The old tree said: "Are you leaving?" He shook the leaves.

Lu Qingjiu said: "Go."

"Are you coming back?" the old tree asked again.

Lu Qingjiu smiled and said: "Naturally, I will come back, at least once a year to see you." His parents' graves are still in this city, so he naturally has to come back.

"Okay." A leaf slowly fell on top of Lu Qingjiu's head, and the old tree's voice was gentle, "I am waiting for you to come back."

Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "Yeah."

After chatting with the old tree for so long, Lu Qingjiu was in a good mood and drove back to Zhu Miaomiao's house in the small truck. During the period, Zhu Miaomiao sent him many text messages to inquire about the situation. He was afraid that Lu Qingjiu and Wu Xiao would fight. After all, from a physical point of view, Lu Qingjiu might not be able to take advantage of the fight.

Lu Qingjiu was afraid that she was worried, so he called her back, saying that he and Wu Xiao had already made it clear, and had no intention of starting a fight.

But Zhu Miaomiao was still uneasy, turning on the light at home and waiting for Lu Sake to return.

When Lu Qingjiu arrived home, he saw Zhu Miaomiao slumping on the sofa and heard the sound of him entering the door. He said in a daze, "Sake, are you back?"

Lu Qingjiu said, "Why don't you go to bed?"

Zhu Miaomiao said, "I'm afraid you will be beaten."

Lu Qingjiu laughed: "I said he won't beat me..."

Zhu Miaomiao said: "Why not? You don't know that he hates you. Brother Yun and I even doubt if you walk alone on the road, he will cover your sack secretly."

Lu Qingjiu couldn't help but laughed. He said, "It's okay. The misunderstanding between me and him has been resolved." When Wu Xiao wanted to come, he thought he was going to spread the discomfort of his Chrysanthemum, naturally, he hated him.

Zhu Miaomiao saw that Lu Qingjiu was indeed okay, so she no longer entangled in this topic. She said, "Are you going back tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Lu Qingjiu said, "I will go back tomorrow."

"Don't play for two more days?" Zhu Miaomiao said, "Zhang only knew that you are coming back today, and he said he wanted to treat you to dinner."

Lu Qingjiu said: "No, there is something at home, and I can't live without people for too long."

"Okay." Zhu Miaomiao said, "I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't see you off."

Lu Qingjiu nodded.

After sweeping the tomb and seeing the old man, it was time to go home next. Lu Qingjiu didn't contact Yin Xun in the past two days, and he didn't know what was going on at home. Early the next morning, he drove a small truck, carrying a trunk of specialty products on the road again.

It was still more than ten hours away. Lu Qingjiu, who started at 6 in the morning, arrived home at about 10 in the evening. The small truck stopped at the door of the house. Lu Qingjiu got out of the car with a large bag and a small bag. He opened the door and went into the yard. The two lying down were taken aback.

The white moon fox was still lying on his rocking chair. Yin Xun found a mat and lay beside the white moon fox. Lu Qingjiu couldn't see clearly through the night, and almost thought it was a corpse. The corpse heard the door open. The voice jumped up and rushed to Lu Qingjiu, yelling: "Sake, you can come back! If you don't come back, I will die here!!"

Lu Qingjiu said, "What's wrong?"

Yin Xun cried and said, "Baiyue Fox is simply not a human being. He quietly ate everything the night you left."

Lu Qingjiu: "...Isn't there still instant noodles?"

Yin Xun said, "I also ate the instant noodles!!!"

Lu Qingjiu: "..."

Listening to Yin Xun's complaint, Bai Yuehu said coldly next to him, "Didn't I leave you behind?"

Yin Xun started crying sadly.

Lu Qingjiu was troubled by the two of them, and said, "It's okay, I brought you a lot of food. First, take the cushion to cushion your stomach. I will go to the kitchen to give you two bowls of noodles."

Yin Xun cheered happily.

Lu Qingjiu put the things away and walked into the kitchen wearing an apron. After entering the kitchen, he was shocked by the horror in the kitchen. All the things he made in the kitchen were eaten up, even a bottle of hot sauce. The refrigerator was empty, without root hairs.

The little fox who had been asleep was also awakened, and he shook his way to Lu Qingjiu’s feet and rubbed his soft head against Lu Qingjiu’s ankles. Lu Qingjiu bent down and touched the top of his head: "Hey, let me cook for you later. Order minced meat."

Lu Qingjiu simply ordered two bowls of egg noodles, and then handed them to Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu, who ate them directly, and there was no soup left.

Yin Xun dragged his mat home contentedly after eating, and Bai Yuehu also got up from the chair. According to Yin Xun, after he finished eating Lu Qingjiu's food, he stuck to this rocking chair and couldn't tear it off—of course, Yin Xun did not dare to tear it.

"Are you full?" Lu Qingjiu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Yeah." Baiyue Fox responded, "It's late, go to sleep."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Okay."

Bai Yuehu said, "Thank you."

Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "How hard is it."

The two people's eyes gathered together, and they could understand each other's look. Lu Qingjiu curled his eyes and said, "Good night."

The white moon fox said softly: "Good night."

After a nap, it was the next day. The chirping little fox replaced the function of the alarm clock and called Lu Qingjiu from the bed. Knowing that they hadn't eaten it for several days, Lu Qingjiu got up early and cooked a piece of sauerkraut noodles, intending to compensate them.

The noodles are kneaded by themselves, cut into cubes, and placed in the soup with sauerkraut as the base material. There is also fresh pork made by yourself in the sauerkraut soup. The meat is pasted with a layer of sweet potato flour, so the cooked meat is smooth It is tender, and it is very appetizing with the appetizing and refreshing sauerkraut. The noodles are very chewy because they are kneaded by themselves. Especially in such a hot summer, eating a bowl of noodles can't be more comfortable.

After making the noodle cubes, Lu Qingjiu made minced meat for the little fox. The three of them sat at home and started eating breakfast as soon as the foxes. The white moon fox finished eating first, and then went to the field. The harder it is to get the crops, and one who does not pay attention to the crops will be scorched to death.

Lu Qingjiu called Chao Qianyu to pull away the excess grapes. The grapes were all ripe and had to fall to the ground after a while. The three of them couldn't finish eating, so it was a bit rotten to watch. waste.

Knowing that they were hungry for a few days, Lu Qingjiu cooked a meal full of meat for lunch, fried twice-cooked pork, braised beef, cold chicken, boiled pork slices, in short, how to get the meat.

Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu were very satisfied with their food. Yin Xun said that the amount of blood that had fallen because of hunger in the past few days was finally made up.

Bai Yuehu didn't speak, but he was satisfied from the expression.

Taking advantage of the nap time, Lu Qingjiu told Bai Yuehu about the old tree, and asked him if there was any way he could make Wu Xiao hear the old tree.

After hearing this, Bai Yuehu thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes."

"Really?" Lu Qingjiu asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Baiyue Fox said, "you just let that tree feed that person a little bit of its essence."

Lu Qingjiu: "...what?" He thought he had heard it wrong.

"The tree spirit for short." Seeing Lu Qingjiu's blank face, Baiyuehu explained in detail again very patiently, "It is a kind of white liquid hidden in the tree core. After eating this liquid, Wu Xiao can hear it. The tree clan spoke."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." After hearing Baiyuehu's explanation, Lu Qingjiu felt guilty for his yellow storm, "But the old tree can't move, what should I do?"

Bai Yuehu said, "You can tell Wu Xiao to go to the old tree and talk about it, and then just gnaw on the trunk."

Although Wu Xiao could not hear the old tree, the old tree could hear Wu Xiao. If the old tree wanted Wu Xiao to hear him, he would secrete his own essence. Wu Xiao would be recognized by the tree clan. From now on, people can communicate with the tree clan.

Lu Qingjiu didn't expect this method to be quite simple, but he didn't know why the old tree didn't mention it. Is it embarrassing? He didn't think much about it. After getting the answer, he called and told Wu Xiao this method.

After listening to Wu Xiao, he decided to go to the park to find an old tree after get off work. Hearing his tone, he felt a little gearing up.

Lu Qingjiu originally thought that the matter would have ended in this way, but at noon the next day, he received a call from Wu Xiao. Wu Xiao's voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was almost bloody. He roared on the phone. : "Lu Qingjiu, you are too much!"

Lu Qingjiu said inexplicably, "Huh?"

Wu Xiao said: "You...I fired you, but I apologized and I am willing to compensate you. You should **** me like this?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "Why did I mess with you?" He looked blank, and then thought of the way he called Wu Xiao to try yesterday, "What happened to you? Isn't it serious?"

It was probably because his voice was too innocent, and Wu Xiao's tone was also suspicious: "You really don't know? Then where did you come from?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "...the goddess in my village told me." After he said the goddess, he glanced at the happy white moon fox stuck to the rocking chair alone.

"The goddess?" Wu Xiao said, "the goddess didn't talk about anything else?"

Lu Qingjiu said: "Others? What other? The goddess just said that as long as you do this, you can hear the tree clan speaking, and nothing else is mentioned. What's wrong?" He felt that something was going on there. Major event, otherwise Wu Xiao would not speak to him in this tone.

After listening to Lu Qingjiu's explanation, Wu Xiao fell into silence.

Lu Qingjiu fed several times before he heard a faint sigh coming from the other end, and then Wu Xiao forced out two words from his teeth: "It's okay."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." Mr. Wu, this doesn't seem to be okay.

Wu Xiao hesitated to speak and stopped: "I... forget it."

Lu Qingjiu: "...Then, can you hear the tree now?"

After he asked this, he heard the sound of teeth grinding on the other end of the phone, and he said, "Yes, I can hear it."

Lu Qingjiu: "Um..." Since you can hear it, why are you so angry? Could there be any unforeseen accident during the period? Lu Qingjiu wanted to ask this very much, but in the end he witty refrained, because Wu Xiao was in a bad mood at this time, he hung up after cursing a few lowly.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingjiu glanced at his mobile phone screen, thought for a while and walked towards the sleeping White Moon Fox.

"Yuehu." Lu Qingjiu called him.

Baiyue Fox opened his eyes and looked at Lu Sake.

"There is no sequelae to the way you can hear the tree clan speaking, right?" Lu Qingjiu blinked and asked the question that should have been asked yesterday.

The White Moon Fox slowly said, "Sequences?"

Lu Qingjiu nodded.

"Forget it." Bai Yuehu said lightly, "If the tree clan agrees, the two will become partners."

Lu Qingjiu: "..."

Seeing Lu Qingjiu's surprise, Bai Yuehu raised his eyebrows and said, "What?"

Lu Qingjiu finally understood what the pain in Wu Xiao's tone was, and he was a little bit dumbfounded: "Why didn't you tell me..."

Bai Yuehu said calmly: "Because this is not a sequelae."

Also, marriage, how can it be considered a sequelae? Lu Qingjiu couldn't help applauding the logic of his family vixen. Should he call Wu Xiao again, congratulations to Mr. Wu for mentioning the 100-year-old bride? ? ?
