In fact Lu Qingjiu had reason to suspect that he was in Bai Yuehu's recipe, although of course, the fox, a long-established spirit, had been extensively documented back in the days of Liao Zhai Zhiyi. Lu Qingjiu believes that if he really wanted to eat himself, he would have done so already.

Zhu Miaomiao saw Lu Qingjiu's subtle expression and said, "I was just joking, that handsome man isn't really angry, is he?"

"No way." Lu Qingjiu said. Lu Qingjiu said, "He shouldn't be that stingy, why did you come here on your own?" Although he had given Zhu Miaomiao his full address, he hadn't expected her to actually

Can find it on its own.

Zhu Miaomiao said, "Hahaha, I was lucky, the taxi driver I called happened to know this address and came straight here, oops I'm so hungry, hurry up and make me breakfast, I'm going to faint from hunger."

Lu Qingjiu nodded, "Okay, I'll cook you some noodles."

Zhu Miaomiao and Lu Qingjiu are more like friends than colleagues. When Lu Qingjiu first joined the company, he was brought up by Zhu Miaomiao, so Zhu Miaomiao can be said to be Lu Qingjiu's teacher. Zhu Miaomiao also knew about Lu Qingjiu's family's situation, so when she found out that Lu Qingjiu wanted to quit his job and go back to his hometown, she repeatedly persuaded him to do so. Now she has come to see Lu Qingjiu in this faraway mountain village under the pretext of taking a holiday, but I am afraid she is worried that Lu Qingjiu is not doing well.

Lu Qingjiu and Zhu Miaomiao knew exactly what they were doing, but they both agreed not to say anything.

Zhu Miaomiao told Lu Qingjiu to go and cook while she went around the yard. Lu Qingjiu told her not to go near the well in the backyard, saying that two dead people had just been pulled out of the well.

Zhu Miaomiao said in amazement, "Dead man, how long have you been away from the company and how come you are already living such an exciting life?"

Lu Qingjiu: ""He didn't want to either.

Zhu Miaomiao said, "Okay, you make breakfast and I'll look around."

After Lu Qingjiu had finished cooking breakfast, Zhu Miaomiao also looked around the yard and said that the pigs in the pen were kind of cute, like two big squirrels.

"Lovely, yes, but very naughty." Lu Qingjiu said. Lu Qingjiu said, "Every day she seduces the children next door into sleeping with them in the pigsty, but luckily their parents don't find out."

"Hahahahaha." Zhu Miaomiao laughed at his words.

"Isn't your hat wet? Take it off." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'll go and wash it for you."

When Zhu Miaomiao arrived it was still raining outside and the black baseball cap on her head was wet.

"No." Zhu Miaomiao rubbed his head, "I'll wash it myself later."

"You can't wear a wet one then." Lu Qingjiu paused for a moment after saying this, as if remembering something, he whispered, "Sister Zhu, has your hair fallen out even more"

"Shut up, stop it." Zhu Miaomiao was embarrassed to have such a handsome stranger sitting next to him, "Damn, my boss is pushing me to work overtime every day, what can I do, I want to get a hair transplant."

Lu Qingjiu thought of something and glanced towards Bai Yuehu.

Bai Yuehu, however, seemed to have guessed what was on his mind, and after giving him a slight nod, he got up and left the dining area, apparently leaving Lu Qingjiu and Zhu Miaomiao alone.

"He's gone, show me." Lu Qingjiu said, "We know each other so well now."

As soon as Zhu Miaomiao lifted her hat, Lu Qingjiu sighed and saw that her head was indeed balding, the hair there was so thin that the scalp could be seen. Zhu Miaomiao is actually very pretty, but she has very little hair, so she has to wear a hat to hide it.

"Ugh." Zhu Miaomiao covered her face, "My hair is finished."

Lu Qingjiu pondered, "I have an idea, I don't know if it will help."

Zhu Miaomiao says: "What's the solution?"

Lu Qingjiu said, "You do this, you find time later to go and pay your respects to that well in the backyard."

Zhu Miaomiao was stunned at these words: "Worship? Didn't you say that two people had died at the well?

Lu Qingjiu said, "This is a very complicated matter, I don't know if it will work, you should try it first, if not we will think of another way."

Zhu Miaomiao had thought Lu Qingjiu was joking, but seeing his seriousness, he nodded with a puzzled expression.

Lu Qingjiu immediately went to the kitchen, filled a bowl with offerings and sent Zhu Miaomiao to the backyard, where she put the offerings down and worshipped the well. Although she thought it was quite ridiculous, she still treated it as a dead horse and said in her mind that I want to grow my hair, and I don't know if it was Zhu Miaomiao's illusion, but after she finished worshipping, she felt a breeze blowing over her head.

"That will do" Zhu Miaomiao returned to Lu Qingjiu's side.

"Well." Lu Qingjiu said, "Let's see if it works tomorrow."

Zhu Miaomiao stroked his hair and sighed: "It's not going to work, forget it, there's nothing to lose anyway."

Lu Qingjiu smiled and didn't say anything.

Yin Xun came to Lu Qingjiu's yard a short time later, carrying a bucket with two fish in it, and said, "Lu Qingjiu, I've put the fish in your pond."

Lu Qingjiu said, "What are you doing in the pond?" He went over and saw two carp in a bucket, which looked very spirited, and wondered where Yin Xun had got them from, as there was no river nearby.

"It's a village rule to put fish in the cistern outside this house." Yin Xun said, "To prevent the water from being polluted or something."

"Oh." Lu Qingjiu said, "Then you put it in."

"This is" Yin Xun, who naturally saw Zhu Miaomiao next to Lu Qingjiu when she released the fish.

"My colleague, Zhu Miaomiao, is here for a few days." Lu Qingjiu said. Lu Qingjiu said, "This is Yin Xun, my childhood friend, who grew up with me in Shuifu Village."

Zhu Miaomiao and Yin Xun greeted each other.

"What are we going to have for lunch today?" Yin Xun said. Yin Xun said, "We have guests at home, so we have to cook a nice meal."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Take out the pork chops you bought last time and make some ribs with sauce, and can you have one of these fish?"

"OK." Yin Xun said, "This fish was caught by Wang Cong from the reservoir, it should taste good." Wang Cong was a friend of his from the village, not close to Lu Qingjiu but close to Yin Xun.

Lu Qingjiu said, "Let's ask Uncle Li to bring back some meat when we go to the market tomorrow, we don't have much left at home."

Yin Xun nods.

Zhu Miaomiao had a farmhouse meal and felt that Lu Qingjiu's quality of life seemed good, so she was relieved, saying that the area was beautiful and that she would come and live here when she retired. Lu Qingjiu knew that she was just saying that she was having fun. The village was so remote that there was not even a takeaway, not to mention a shopping street, and you had to go to the town to buy meat, so it would be strange if a personality like Zhu Miaomiao could really live here.

But it's nice to stay for a few days now and then for a bit of fresh fun.

Lu Qingjiu went to the old lady next door to borrow a pair of mahjong, the only precious pair in the village, and the four of them went to the table to play mahjong.

Bai Yuehu didn't know how to play at first, but soon got the hang of it, and Zhu Miaomiao, a veteran of the game, easily beat the other three rookies. Lu Qingjiu was barely able to keep up the pace, while Yin Xun had a bitter face and couldn't figure out why he was losing so badly.

Lu Qingjiu was also a bit tired and fell asleep in bed, wondering what to make for breakfast in the morning.

He had intended to sleep until he got up at six, but a harsh scream woke him from his slumber just after five.

"Lu Qingjiu was so scared that he didn't even put on his shoes and went to ask what was going on, and when he opened the door he saw her clutching her hair with tears in her eyes, "Lu Qingjiu, you are my new fucking parent! "

Lu Qingjiu was dizzy, not understanding how he had gained such a big daughter after one night.

"You're closer than my own father," Zhu Miaomiao said at the top of his lungs, "Did you see that? Did you see that?"

Lu Qingjiu: "Look, I see it."

Zhu Miaomiao said, "I have long hair, I have long hair, so much, so dark, so hard."

Lu Qingjiu: ""Something doesn't feel right.

Zhu Miaomiao stroked her hair, tears running down her face, and said she never thought she would achieve her dream in such a way, with such dark, shiny hair that moved more than the most handsome man in the world.

Lu Qingjiu looked at the time and said, "Are you so excited that you can't sleep?"

Zhu Miaomiao said: "I'm too excited to sleep"

Lu Qingjiu said, "Then you can feed the pigs and chickens while I sleep a little longer."

Zhu Miaomiao :""

Lu Qingjiu said, "You have to work even if you have hair."

Zhu Miaomiao: "Don't you have anything to say about my hair?"

Lu Qingjiu said honestly, "No."

"Goodbye." Zhu Miaomiao said mercilessly, "You've lost a precious friend."

Lu Qingjiu :""

Zhu Miaomiao turns resolutely, strokes her black hair tenderly and bounces off to feed the pigs in the yard.

Lu Qingjiu yawned helplessly and turned around to go back to the house and decided to take another nap

What the author has to say: Lu Qingjiu: Who wouldn't want long, shiny black hair, you're the most useful sperm in my family.

Female Ghost: You're right.

Bai Yuehu.
