MTL - Fantasy Farm-Chapter 54 Nine tails

Although there was still heavy snow outside, Xuan Yu seemed to be leaving. Lu Qingjiu also knew that he was here because he was a drunkard who didn't want to drink. He didn't really come here to beg for fast food, but rather to remind Lu Qingjiu.

Sending Xuanyu to the door, Lu Qingjiu wanted to borrow an umbrella for him, but Xuanyu shook his head with a smile, and took out a colorful umbrella out of his bag that was incompatible with his style. The colorful umbrella looks a bit old. There is a big red peony embroidered on the umbrella surface. The embroidery is very exquisite, but the style of Mingyan is far from the cold temperament of Xuanyu.

However, it was strange that Lu Qingjiu felt that this umbrella looked a little familiar. It seemed that he had seen it before. He frowned slightly and was about to ask, he heard Xuan Yuwen's voice: "Years ago, it was in such a snowy weather. I came here. Asking for fast food is because your elders let me stay overnight."

When he said this, Lu Qingjiu immediately remembered that his grandma also had an identical red umbrella. It is said that it was a dowry brought by her when she was young. The embroidery on the umbrella was all embroidered by her own hands. Lu Qingjiu met him when he was young, but then he forgot.

Although Xuanyu looks young, his true age may have surpassed Lu Qingjiu's imagination.

"Do you know my grandma?" Lu Qingjiu said.

Xuan Yu said, "It's just one side." He opened the umbrella and walked into the wind and snow. The deserted voice was mixed with the whistling wind, and it became a little fuzzy. He said, "Lu donor and Your elders are somewhat similar..."

Lu Qingjiu wanted to stop him and ask more about his grandmother, but he kept walking. He had already reached the gate of the yard. Before pushing the door, he slowly turned his head back and said the last sentence.

He said, Donor Lu, I remember that your elders prepared a birthday gift for you before they died. I wonder if you can see it?

When Lu Qingjiu heard the words, he was very puzzled, and said, "Birthday gift? What?"

Xuan Yu shook his head, did not elaborate, and opened the door.

Seeing this, Lu Qingjiu hurriedly chased it out, but when he went out, he didn't see anything, only the heavy snow and the empty village, Xuanyu was gone.

Lu Qingjiu was stunned, and he vaguely felt that the young monk Xuanyu in front of him and his grandmother seemed to have some connections.

When grandma had a sudden illness and Lu Qingjiu rushed home, everything was too late, he didn't even have time to say a word to grandma. Finally, Lu Qingjiu, who suffered the death of his relatives one after another, held a funeral for his grandmother in a hazy state...

But from beginning to end, Lu Qingjiu had never seen a gift from Xuanyu's mouth. A little disappointed, Lu Qingjiu turned and went home. When he walked to the door, he tripped on the threshold. This trip reminded him of something. He rushed into his bedroom and saw the text lock on the bedside table in the bedroom. Black wooden box.

This is the most peculiar object he found at home. Lu Qingjiu stroked the smooth surface of the box, and he had a guess in his heart... If what Xuanyu said is true, this is really a birthday gift from his grandmother. , Then he should try to open this box again on his birthday.

Perhaps the things in the box can give him some important answers.

After sending Xuanyu away, Lu Qingjiu took Yin Xun and a few little guys into the living room and looked at them with embarrassment. Xuan Yu said that they will not recover until three days, so they should all be in the form of a scarecrow in front of them these days...

But in this way, isn't Yin Xun unable to go home to renew his incense? Lu Qingjiu suddenly thought of this incident, and suddenly became worried. He thought for a moment, and decided to go to Yin Xun's house to see if he could refill the incense candle for him.

It was still snowing outside, and the wind was blowing snow across the sky. Lu Qingjiu took the umbrella and headed towards Yin Xun's house. The wind was too big, and it was difficult for people to walk inside. Lu Qingjiu had to press his body very low so that he would not be pushed back by the wind. Large swaths of snowflakes were swept into Lu Qingjiu's neck by the wind, and he shivered coldly along the way, gritted his teeth and moved forward step by step. He just walked for a few minutes, but it took almost half an hour to arrive.

Since returning here, Lu Qingjiu has hardly visited Yin Xun's house, at most he went to sit in his yard and living room. On weekdays, Yin Xun almost always went to Lu Qingjiu's house. Yin Xun's yard was not locked, the door was wide open, the yard was empty, and there were no traces of human life. Lu Qingjiu took out the key that Yin Xun had touched on his body and opened the door of the living room with difficulty. After entering, he closed the door so that he had a chance to breathe.

The furnishings in the living room are very simple, just a table and a few chairs, and there is no trace of incense. Lu Qingjiu decided to go to the bedroom. He stood up and patted the snowflakes on his legs. After turning on the flashlight, he followed the corridor near the guest room and walked towards the bedroom.

The houses in the rural areas are built by their own families, and there are usually a lot of rooms. On the left side is the master bedroom, where the master sleeps.

Lu Qingjiu walked a few steps to the left, and he smelled a strong smell of incense candles. He sniffed and found his goal through the window-a bedroom with incense candles.

The bedroom was locked. Lu Qingjiu opened it with the key and entered the house lightly.

Only after entering the room to see the furnishings inside, Lu Qingjiu felt that his back was a little cold, and saw that in a small room, there were densely packed tablets with different names on each tablet. In the most conspicuous position, a tablet with the word Yin Xun caught Lu Qingjiu's attention.

There was a joss stick in front of the tablet, and the joss stick was about to burn out. The red wax oil was like teardrops, layered on top of the joss stick. Lu Qingjiu hurriedly searched the room, but after searching the entire room, he could not find a candle that could be replaced. The candle has been burned to the bottom. At the current burning rate, it may be more than half an hour before the candle will go out.

Lu Qingjiu searched all the other rooms, but couldn't find the candle. In desperation, he could only call Baiyuehu again to ask him about the candle.

"Are you at Yin Xun's house now?" Bai Yuehu asked when he heard about Lu Qingjiu's situation.

"Yes." Lu Qingjiu said, "didn't he be turned into a scarecrow? I wondered if his joss stick would be extinguished, but when I came over, I saw that the candle was indeed going out, but I couldn't find a replacement... "

Bai Yuehu thought for a moment: "Wait, I'll be back soon."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Okay, I'll wait for you, hurry up."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingjiu sat at the door waiting for the white moon fox. This guy Yin Xun didn't know how to come over these years. There was no popularity in the house. Except for the sleeping place, it was covered with dust, and he looked like no one lived for a long time.

As the joss sticks gradually burned out, the flames became weaker and weaker. Lu Qingjiu, who was sitting at the door waiting, suddenly heard a very strange sound. At first he thought he had an illusion, but soon, that sound gradually increased. Bigger.

Gada Gada, Gada Gada, Lu Qingjiu turned his head, and the flashlight in his hand pointed at the source of the sound. When he saw clearly what was making the sound, he froze in place. I saw that the densely packed tablets in a room began to tremble. The tremor was weak at first, but as the flame of the incense candle became dimmed, the tremor began to become violent... It was like something pressed under the tablet. At that time, the thing was about to knock down the tablet and crawl out of it.

Although Lu Qingjiu didn't know what was pressed under the tablet, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing. If the joss stick went out like this...

At this critical moment, Bai Yuehu finally appeared at the door. After he appeared, he did not speak to Lu Qingjiu, but went straight to the incense candle, took a sharp blade from his arms and cut his wrist.

Red blood gushed out from his wrists, leaning on the incense candle that was about to be extinguished.

What Lu Qingjiu watched beside him was frightened. He was really afraid that the candle would go out as soon as the white moon fox's blood was poured on it. But apparently the white moon fox knew exactly what he was doing. As soon as the blood touched the candle, it made a sizzling noise. Then, the candle that was about to burn out actually rose from the ground, constantly merging with the blood and changing again. Become a brand new red candle.

The tablet that made the sound before became quiet again, and the original silence was restored here.

"Yuehu, are you okay?" Lu Qingjiu saw that the incense candle continued, and hurried forward, grabbing Baiyuehu's wrist.

Bai Yuehu said: "It's okay."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Does it hurt?"

Bai Yuehu watched Lu Qingjiu silently. He could have caused the wound to heal directly, but facing Lu Qingjiu's worried gaze, he actually felt a little bit happy, so he nodded obediently and said calmly: "It hurts. "

Lu Qingjiu looked at the hideous wound on the white moon fox's beautiful wrist, and said anxiously: "For such a big hole, how much blood must be left, kill a chicken at night, and I will make up for you..."

Bai Yuehu said: "I can't kill it."

"Why?" Lu Qingjiu asked strangely.

"It's all turned into straw." Bai Yuehu said.

Lu Qingjiu: "..." He completely forgot about it. The chicken had been living in the chicken pen, and his attention was on Yin Xun and them again. Naturally, he didn't find that his chicken had also become a scarecrow, but the scarecrow had grown into a chicken...for now, he couldn't eat it.

Bai Yuehu said: "Let's go, the incense candle is on, let's go back."

Lu Qingjiu said: "This incense candle is made with blood? Then, shall we come over tomorrow... and Yin Xun..."

The white moon fox shook his head: "The mountain gods have their own method of refilling the joss stick. There is no incense to worship. I can only use blood to renew it. I don't have to come tomorrow. My blood can last for at least 30 days."

Lu Qingjiu breathed a sigh of relief when Bai Yuehu's words helped him answer two more worrying questions. Since Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu don't need to bleed, it is naturally the best.

Compared to when it left, the white moon fox had a thick white cloak on its body. The cloak seemed to be an animal's fur, snow-white and soft, and very warm. Before the two went out, Bai Yuehu naturally took off the Greatcloak, and placed it on Lu Qingjiu's shoulder.

Lu Qingjiu was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Bai Yuehu. He was about to speak, but he heard Bai Yuehu say, "You are afraid of the cold, so please dress."

"What kind of leather is this?" Lu Qingjiu rubbed it with his hands. The fur was soft and strong at first. There was not a single miscellaneous hair, and it was slightly shiny with the finest fur. Bai Yuehu just put this thing on him. There was a burst of warmth over his shoulder.

"I don't know either." Bai Yuehu said, "I lost it to me."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Lost?"

Bai Yuehu said: "Yes, we took a gamble."

When Lu Qingjiu heard this, he did not continue to ask. He just thought that gambling is really harmful to health. Even if you lose money, you lose all the skin...

Wearing a thick cloak, Lu Qingjiu held an umbrella and walked into the snow with Bai Yuehu. I don't know if it was Lu Qingjiu's psychological effect. He always felt that the wind and snow were much smaller on the way back and his body was not cold anymore.

After arriving home, Lu Qingjiu moved all the scarecrows out to dry in the living room. Fortunately, few people came to visit this winter, otherwise, when I entered the house and saw a scarecrow on the floor, I was afraid that I would be scared of heart attack on the spot.

Xuanyu said that they would be able to return to normal in three days, so in these three days, there were only two white moon foxes and Lu Qingjiu left in the house.

Bai Yuehu and Lu Qingjiu are both Xijing's personalities, and they are quite comfortable living this way. Lu Qingjiu found an opportunity to ask Baiyuehu about Xuanyu, and Baiyuehu just gave a rough introduction to Xuanyu. Said that he is a master monk, he should have been a god, but because of some things he stayed in the mortal world, he is a rare and powerful role in human beings, but he rarely participates in worldly things. The last time he appeared, he A dozen years ago.

"Then what does he come to me for?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

"Maybe I want to see the old man." Bai Yuehu replied.

Old man? It was about Lu Qingjiu’s grandmother, but I don’t know what the story is about his grandmother and him. Lu Qingjiu is a little bit regretful. He found that he didn’t know much about his grandma. He didn’t know much about his grandma. When I left Shuifu Village and returned here again, everything was nothing but a human being.

By the morning of the third day, Yin Xun, who had become a scarecrow, finally regained his human form, together with him was the little flower, the little black fox... and the Yushi concubine hiding in the little fox’s furry collar. To be honest, Lu Qingjiu almost forgot her because she often doesn't show up...

The few that turned back into humans hugged each other and cried. Yin Xun was crying with snot and tears, and Lu Qingjiu looked very disgusted.

"Drink, you are such a good person." Yin Xun said, "That monk is really too much, he is going to burn us, oooooooo, I'm just an innocent mountain god!"

"Yes, yes, I'm just an innocent piglet." Xiao Hua followed Yin Xun howling.

The little fox also shook his head, looking sad and weeping.

Lu Qingjiu was a little helpless, but couldn't persuade him to persuade him, so he could only let a few continue howling. Only then did he know that several people were conscious after they became scarecrows. He could hear outsiders talking and could see the pictures. It is conceivable that if Lu Qingjiu really chose to burn them all, what would they be like? Distraught.

After a while, Lu Qingjiu's headache was cracking: "Don't cry, okay? May I make you some good food?"

Yin Xun: "You don't love me at all, and don't care about how well I'm doing—"

Lu Qingjiu: "I shouldn't have given birth to you."

Yin Xun wanted to continue crying. He was glared by the white moon fox who walked in from outside the house. He quickly became quiet and said, "Sure, I won't cry anymore. You can make me good food."

Lu Qingjiu: "Oh!"

It was too cold this day. In Yin Xun's words, don't go to the wild to urinate, otherwise, the urine will be over and a certain part will become a disposable item.

It's cold, people don't want to move, if it weren't for comforting Yin Xun, Lu Qingjiu really didn't want to do particularly troublesome food.

Because of the power outage, their refrigerator was moved into the snow long ago. Thinking about it carefully, it shouldn't be regarded as a hot box because the temperature in the freezer is higher than outside.

Lu Qingjiu asked Baiyue Fox to bring a fresh green onion back tonight. The meat quality of this green onion was so good that it was delicious no matter how it was made. After Lu Qingjiu asked Baiyue Fox to cut the onion and deaf, the ribs were saved, the bones under his body were stewed in soup, the meat was fried, and the ribs were grilled on charcoal.

Onion bones are thinner than lamb bones, and there is no taint. Don't worry about handling badly. First, marinate the meat in marinade for a few hours, then put it on charcoal fire and roast it slowly.

The room soon began to permeate the rich aroma of the meat after being roasted. The thin layer of fat on the outer edge of the ribs was sizzling, and the fat dripped into the burning brazier, making a crackling sound.

Lu Qingjiu gave Baiyuehu and Yin Xun the roasted meat, and gave the other three little guys a taste.

"It's delicious, and you have some wine." Yin Xun took a bite, still with black marks on his mouth, and quickly said to Lu Sake, "While it's hot while it's hot."

Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "You eat first, I'll wait for the next piece."

As soon as he finished saying this, the white moon fox sitting next to him naturally handed the untouched lamb chops to Lu Qingjiu's mouth.

Lu Qingjiu was taken aback for a moment, then bowed his head and took a bite with a smile. It was really delicious. The outside of the small ribs was a bit crispy, but the meat inside was very delicate and juicy. After a long time of marinating, the inside of the small ribs also had a flavor. It was salty and mild, with a fragrance of spices.

Lu Qingjiu ate it in his mouth, feeling that it would be perfect if there was a fresh lemon squeezed on it.

Yin Xun watched the interaction between Baiyue Fox and Lu Qingjiu, and swallowed heavily, but he didn't dare to say anything. Instead, he lowered his head and continued to gnaw the small row silently.

Baiyue Fox didn't think there was any problem with his behavior, so it was natural to eat the small row with Lu Sake's tooth mark. The bone broth in the pot is almost ready, it is very delicious, and it is refreshing to drink a bite after getting tired of eating small ribs. And after drinking the soup, the body is also very warm. Sweet potatoes roasted in a charcoal basin are also a good staple food. Sweet potatoes are sweet, soft and waxy. Lu Qingjiu likes it.

Lu Qingjiu roasted and ate, unknowingly it was a bit too much. Yin Xun was about the same as him, his stomach had become chubby, he touched his stomach and burped, his expression stayed for two seconds: "I Did you forget something important?"

Lu Qingjiu: "What?"

Yin Xun, who had spent a day of food at Lu Qingjiu's house, got up and slapped his head in horror and shouted: "Fuck, fuck! I **** forgot to go home and continue the incense!!!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and ran. Before Lu Qingjiu had time to stop him, he saw him rushing out like a frightened rabbit, just like this.

Lu Qingjiu: "...Why does he run so fast."

Bai Yuehu said: "It can be regarded as his only strength."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." Yin Xun's memory is really true. When he remembered it, maybe his table was burnt through.

Yin Xun, who ran home madly, called Lu Qingjiu after discovering that his incense had actually been renewed. Lu Qingjiu was soaking his feet. While soaking, he moved the white moon fox's furry tail naturally with his hands. I had to say, Human beings really have an unspeakable complex of furry things, and they simply cannot maintain self-control in the face of such a huge temptation.

Hearing the phone ringing, Lu Qingjiu lazily answered it, deliberately holding the phone away from his ears.

Sure enough, the next moment, Yin Xun's horrified cry came on the phone: "Lu Qingjiu, how did my incense have been renewed? It won't be you, will it be you? It won't be you--"

"It's not me." Lu Qingjiu said, "It's Baiyuehu."

Hearing Lu Qingjiu's answer, Yin Xun heaved a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, it scares me to death."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Are you okay over there?"

Yin Xun said, "Nothing serious."

Lu Qingjiu said, "What if the incense is broken?"

Yin Xun said, "Ah... Then something big will happen."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Since it's a serious matter, why should you let you guard it? I don't think you are such a great person." To be honest, after getting along with him during this period of time, he didn't feel any harmony with Yin Xun. In his eyes, Yin Xun is a little unreliable. If you must say that there is something in Yin Xun that has something to do with God, then Lu Qingjiu can only say that he is very nervous sometimes. .

Yin Xun: "You can easily lose my friend when you talk like this."

Lu Qingjiu: "It's okay, I can catch you as my pet then."

Yin Xun: "..." Lu Qingjiu, please be your own person.

Lu Qingjiu could even guess Yin Xun's grievance that Yin Xun wanted to refute at this time but couldn't find the words. He laughed and said, "I'll be joking with you, I'm going to bed, good night."

"Good night." Yin Xun hung up the phone.

Lu Qingjiu, who hung up the phone, yawned lazily, and habitually dragged his big furry tail to his side, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong when he dragged it. When he looked down, he was stupid.

Lu Qingjiu looked up stiffly and saw Bai Yuehu sitting by the window licking melon seeds. He didn't realize what was happening. He said with difficulty, "Yuehu..."

Bai Yuehu turned his head: "Huh?"

Lu Qingjiu said, "That's what I want to ask."

White Moon Fox: "?"

Lu Qingjiu carefully chose his words, and said with great difficulty: "If the vixen's tail is accidentally dropped, what will happen?"

Bai Yuehu's expression was stagnant for a moment, obviously he understood the meaning of Lu Qingjiu's question. He slowly lowered his head and saw that the nine fluffy tails were actually separated from his body. Lu Qingjiu, with a frightened face, hugged him in his arms.

Bai Yuehu: "..." The big thing is not good.

Lu Qingjiu: "...moon...fox...?"
