Chapter 23: The High Number Pig

The next day, the two fugitives who had regained consciousness finally cleared Lu Qingjiu of any wrongdoing. On examination, it was found that their injuries were not serious, mostly superficial. Their confession stated that the injuries were caused by the pecking of Lu Qingjiu's chickens.

The police who were pecked by the chickens were of course disbelieving, but the two men

The police officers were stubbornly stating that this was the case, and refused to change their story, and from the looks on their faces they seemed to be frightened by what had happened last night. The police officer in charge of the interrogation found this strange, but as they were not in fear of their lives and were fugitives from justice, he didn't bother to investigate any further.

Of course, Hu Shu is not one of them. Hu Shu is in his forties and is a veteran cop, having worked on a thousand or 800 cases, but the two cases involving Lu Qingjiu have a psychic element to them.

Hu Shu didn't believe in these things, but he was too impressed by the last case of the female ghost. When all the wrong answers are eliminated, the only answer that remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the right one.

Hu Shu was thinking about it when his supervisor came over and tapped him on the shoulder and said, "How's it going, any progress on the case?"

Hu Shu smiled bitterly at his words, but did not give his boss a definite answer.

Lu Qingjiu had nothing to do with the police's woes, as he finished his statement in town and drove the van home. I have to say, since Bai Yuehu got the van it has been a lot easier for the family to get goods or to come to town for a stroll, and most importantly, the van doesn't use any fuel at all.

On the way back, Lu Qingjiu received a WeChat from Zhu Miaomiao with a picture of Zhang Chuyang standing in front of the company with a big smile on his face, but the most prominent part of the picture was not Zhang Chuyang, but the red banner on top of Zhang Chuyang's head: Congratulations! Zhang Chuyang has received a million dollars in black hair!

Lu Qingjiu: ""He almost dropped his phone on his foot when he couldn't hold it steady.

Zhu Miaomiao also sent an audio message saying that Zhang Chuyang had received astonishment from the whole family when he returned, and that everyone had never seen such an efficient hair transplant with such good results. Many people with worrying hairlines started to ask Zhu Miaomiao and Zhang Chuyang about the origin of their hair, but they both kept their mouths shut and kept Lu Qingjiu in the dark.

"If there's a big deal I'll talk to you in advance." Zhu Miaomiao stated, "I'll bring people over if you're willing to take them, but if not, forget it."

Lu Qingjiu thanked Zhu Miaomiao and gave her a big red envelope, as he would not have been able to reach Zhang Chuyang and the others without Zhu Miaomiao's help.

Lu Qingjiu had just arrived home when he saw Yin Xun crouching in the doorway, looking at him pitifully.

"What do you mean by that look?" Lu Qingjiu got goose bumps from the look in his eyes.

"If you don't come back, Bai Yuehu and I will starve to death." Yin Xun cried. Yin Xun cries, "He's in a bad mood when he's hungry, I suspect he wants to eat me." It's eating in the true sense of the word.

Bai Yuehu sat in the rocking chair next to him and gave a glance towards Yin Xun, a look that struck Lu Qingjiu as a little familiar.

He had gone out early today and hadn't made breakfast for them, thinking that the two of them would be able to muddle through somehow. But after the last time he had diarrhoea, Bai Yuehu clearly had no interest in the food Yin Xun made.

Lu Qingjiu said, "Okay, you guys wait for a while, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles first."

Noodles are the fastest, so let's pad your tummy first.

While the noodles were cooking, Yin Xun came over and asked Lu Qingjiu what had happened last night.

"Little thieves," Yin Xun said, "how can they be so thoughtless?"

Lu Qingjiu said, "What do you mean, you can't think about it?" He paused in his hand and said, "Yin Xun, you picked the chickens at home, didn't you?"

Yin Xun said, "Yes."

Lu Qingjiu said, "When you were picking them out, you didn't see anything wrong with them."

Yin Xun looked innocent: "No, it's not right, it's just a chicken."

Lu Qingjiu: "Yes?"

Yin Xun said, "Yes." He replied with such certainty that he had no intention of explaining exactly what those chicken boys were, and from what he had said at the beginning, it was clear that he already knew how well those chicken boys fought, otherwise he would have been worried not about the little thieves but about the Lu Qingjiu who had been targeted by them.

When Lu Qingjiu saw that Yin Xun didn't want to talk about it anymore, he sighed a little and left the subject alone to concentrate on making the noodles.

Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun ate their noodles, and the atmosphere in the house eased up.

After making the noodles, Lu Qingjiu is going to pick some cabbages and chillies in the field and make a jar of diving cabbages in the new glass jar he bought. It's hot and the diving cabbage is easy and appetising, so it's a great side dish for a meal.

Shuifu Village is in the mountains, at a relatively high altitude, and it is usually not particularly hot, but today was a bit of an exception.

Lu Qingjiu was thinking of going to the town some time to ask someone to install an air conditioner in the village, and to install it in Yin Xun's house as well.

When he came back to the village, Yin Xun helped Lu Qingjiu a lot. He was the one who took care of all the relations between the village and the people, otherwise Lu Qingjiu, an outsider who had not returned for a long time, would have been ostracised in the village. The smaller the village, the more exclusive it becomes, and in a village like Shuifu Village, where no outsiders have moved in for more than a decade, Lu Qingjiu, whose elders are all gone, is almost half an outsider.

Lu Qingjiu broke a few cabbages and put them in his backpack. The cabbages were grown in Bai Yuehu and tasted much better than those bought in town.

They are the best growing in the area and have another batch of tomatoes ripening in the next few days and Chao Qianyu has called to say he is ready to come and deliver them.

After carrying the cabbage home, Lu Qingjiu washed the cabbage and then started preparing the ingredients for the diving cabbage. Lu Qingjiu used to make it as a snack when he was living on his own, but it was the first time he had made it since he arrived here. After he had filled the jar, there was still some cabbage left, so Lu Qingjiu looked at it and thought he would just give it to Xiao Hua and Xiao Hei to eat. So he took the rest of the cabbage and headed for the pigpen.

Lu Qingjiu thought Xiao Hua Xiao Hei had fallen asleep, but before he got close to the pigsty, he heard a whispering sound. Yin Xun had already gone home, leaving him and Bai Yuehu alone in the house, and as the house had been burgled yesterday, Lu Qingjiu was instantly alert.

The cabbage in Lu Qingjiu's hand fell to the ground in shock.

Li Xiaoyu, who should have gone home a long time ago, was pouting on the ground and writing something, while Xiao Hei Xiao Hua was sitting next to him on his hind legs, looking down at the same thing as Li Xiaoyu. This is not the most frightening thing, but the most frightening thing is that they are talking in human language, their voices are soft and soft like those of a child of three or four years old, and they are seriously discussing something with Li Xiaoyu.

I don't know if it was Bai Yuehu's influence, but Lu Qingjiu's first reaction when he saw Xiao Hei Xiao Hua talking was: "Oh no, I really can't eat it.

"Who's there?" Xiao Hua, Xiao Hei's pig brother, had sharp ears and heard the sound of something falling from Lu Qingjiu's hand.

"It's me." Lu Qingjiu came around the corner, "What are you doing?"

When Xiao Hua saw that it was his owner, he looked slightly flustered and then rolled on the ground, looking like he didn't understand what you were saying.

Lu Qingjiu: "You're acting too fake, I heard you just now."

Xiao Hua :""

Xiao Hei hid behind her brother and said weakly, "We are not monsters, don't throw us out, okay?"

Lu Qingjiu said, "Okay, I won't kick you out. Mumble, I have some cabbage left over from the cooking earlier, so hurry up and eat."

Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua both look incredulous at this, obviously not expecting Lu Qingjiu to accept the fact that pigs can talk so quickly.

Xiao Hei shuddered and looked at Lu Qingjiu with a wary look, "You just accept it?" He expected the human in front of him to go through a series of psychological struggles after discovering this fact, but he had never expected him to accept it so easily.

"Or what," Lu Qingjiu said, "should I give some kind of reaction?"

Xiao Hua said, "Scream twice."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Forget it." He looked over at Li Xiaoyu, who had a nervous expression on his face and called out to Brother Lu in a trembling voice.

"Little fish." Lu Qingjiu walked up next to Li Xiaoyu and turned his gaze to the object they had placed underneath them it was actually a textbook, he couldn't help but look stunned at the sight of it, "Xiaoyu, what is this"

"Yes, it's an Olympiad problem." Li Xiaoyu seemed a little embarrassed, his tiny head dropping and his ears turning red as he whispered as thin as a mosquito, " Brother Lu, I'm doing my homework here."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Why are you doing your homework here?"

"Xiao Hua can teach me how to do problems." Li Xiaoyu explains in a whisper, "It's so smart."

Xiao Hua, who was complimented, puffed up her small, unsturdy chest.

Lu Qingjiu said, "Oh, do the problem, why don't you come and ask me I can help you too." He thought that although it was OU, it was in the end primary school OU, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Li Xiaoyu said, "I'm afraid I'll delay Brother Lu."

"I don't even have anything to do at night." He half squatted down and said, "Which problem can't you do?"

Li Xiaoyu pointed to the textbook, "This one."

Lu Qingjiu took a good look at the textbook, which reads: "Fill in the blanks with x the number of times a target is hit by 10 consecutive independent repetitions of the shot, and the probability of each shot hitting the target is known to be 04, then ex2.

Lu Qingjiu: ""Crap, this is not a primary school OU problem, this is clearly a high level mathematics problem that can only be learned in college, ah, high level mathematics he graduated from college has been completely returned to the teacher, at this time, looking at this complex topic, eyes can only get more and more round.

"Brother Lu" Li Xiaoyu saw that Lu Qingjiu did not look right and called out in a small voice from the side.

Lu Qingjiu: ""He was silent for a moment and put the textbook next to Xiao Hua and said, "You teach first, I'll go and get you some snacks to eat."

Xiao Hua didn't expect Lu Qingjiu to be mean to them, but he was even friendly enough to give them a snack, so she couldn't believe it and looked at Lu Qingjiu suspiciously, "You're so nice, you're not looking for an excuse to sell us, are you?"

Lu Qingjiu said, "Who am I selling to at this late hour?"

Xiao Hua said, "Also."

Lu Qingjiu said, "From now on, you should come to the house to study your homework, instead of squatting in the pigsty." Although the place was usually cleaned, it was a pigsty and children with weak resistance would definitely get sick if they squatted here all day.

Lu Qingjiu went back inside to get some fruit, while Xiao Hua Xiao Hei and Li Xiaoyu watched his back with admiration in their eyes.

"Brother Lu is such a nice guy." Li Xiaoyu reached out and took Xiao Hua into his arms, scratching his soft, hot belly.

Xiao Hua, amused by the tickling, nodded and said, "A good man indeed."

"Yeah." Xiao Hei was beside himself and couldn't agree more, "I'm surprised he wasn't surprised to hear us, and didn't stop us from filling in for the little fish, when he could have come himself"

Li Xiaoyu was moved to tears by his words and said he would study hard and repay Brother Lu by going to a good school in the future, while Xiao Hua patted Li Xiaoyu's head soothingly with his little pig's trotters, inwardly thanking Lu Qingjiu for not depriving him of his time with Li Xiaoyu, unaware that

"The questions that primary school children do nowadays are so damn hard." Lu Qingjiu, with a fruit in his hand, said to himself, "I can understand all the words, but I don't know what they mean when I put them together". Qingjiu's face was painful.

Afterwards, however, Li Xiaoyu didn't mention anything about Lu Qingjiu's tutoring, and Lu Qingjiu shared the oranges with them, watching them happily eat them and asking them about their current situation.

Lu Qingjiu found out that Li Xiaoyu had been studying with Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua for a long time and was planning to skip a grade.

"My dad said it was useless for me to go to junior high school." Li Xiaoyu, eating an orange, is a bit sullen about the incident, "I just thought that if I didn't go to junior high school, I would just go to high school."

Lu Qingjiu sighed at his words, the thinking of a child is so childish, but in the childishness there is also a heartwarming cuteness, he touched Li Xiaoyu's head and said seriously, "It's okay, you study hard, if your father doesn't pay for your studies, brother will pay."

Li Xiaoyu's eyes showed surprise at his words, but he seemed embarrassed, so Lu Qingjiu told him not to think too much about it and to get his studies done first.

Li Xiaoyu nods happily.

Xiao Hua and Xiao Hei are sitting next to each other waiting for Li Xiaoyu to peel their oranges. The two Xiao Hei pigs are becoming more and more fussy about what they eat under Li Xiaoyu's care. It's no wonder they treat Li Xiaoyu so well. Without her as their full-time keeper, they wouldn't be able to live such a good life.

After Xiao Hua Xiao Hei had finished eating, Lu Qingjiu saw that it was about time and sent Li Xiaoyu back next door, telling him not to go to the pigsty to study in the future, but to bring Xiao Hei Xiao Hua to the house.

Li Xiaoyu responded dutifully.

Lu Qingjiu turned home with a sigh of relief, and when he returned to the courtyard he saw Bai Yuehu sitting on a chair in the cool air, his eyes not closed, but staring at the bright moon in the sky, looking like he was thinking about something.

Lu Qingjiu walked over to him and, with a natural movement, rocked his chair for him and said, "Bai Yuehu, I'd like to ask you something."

Bai Yuehu said, without looking back, "They are not ordinary pigs."

Lu Qingjiu: ""So you already knew," he said, "so what are they"

"The scientific name seems to be Dangkang." Bai Yuehu says, "It tastes okay."

Lu Qingjiu: ""How many of these animals have you eaten?

"Don't eat anything from the pigpen." Although he doesn't usually see Bai Yuehu kill, Lu Qingjiu reminds him of this in case something like Xiao Hua's tragedy at Yin Xun's house happens.

The vixens at home, "They're quite smart, they speak human and they teach children maths."

Bai Yuehu said, "They have such a low IQ and they can still teach people maths."

Lu Qingjiu, who could not even read the exercises, felt as if he had been insulted by the words, but he did not dare to express his inner sorrow because it would be too humiliating, and said, "In any case, don't eat it, the children will cry if you do."

Bai Yuehu said, "Maybe if we make it better, the children will stop crying", he said seriously, obviously not joking.

Lu Qingjiu covered his face, remembering Yin Xun who had cried out that his soul had been bought by a bite of roast pork, and had to say that, although he didn't want to admit it, Bai Yuehu's words had some truth in them

"I'm just kidding." In the end, Bai Yuehu didn't give Lu Qingjiu a hard time and let up on eating Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua, "You can keep it if you want."

Lu Qingjiu was just relieved to hear his next words, "I'll go and find another to keep."

Lu Qingjiu :""

"Find one with a lower IQ." Bai Yuehu stood up from his chair and yawned lazily, his eyes half-squinted, a sexy languor radiating from his body as he said, "At least not in human terms."

Lu Qingjiu thought of his own chicken nest and added, "Can you not be so strong in battle too?"

Bai Yuehu nodded his head in agreement.

Bai Yuehu entered the house and Lu Qingjiu spent some time in his beloved rocking chair, which was a beautiful day with no clouds in the sky and only a bright moon. As the sun sets, the temperature drops and there is an occasional cool breeze in the courtyard, so it is a pleasant way to spend your time, no wonder Bai Yuehu likes the rocking chair so much.

Lu Qingjiu almost didn't fall asleep while lying on it. The most amazing thing is that there are hardly any mosquitoes in their house, and Yin Xun, who is particularly attractive to mosquitoes, has never been bitten by mosquitoes once she arrived at Lu Qingjiu's house. This is probably one of the reasons why Yin Xun likes to stay at Lu Qingjiu's house. But the main reason is that Yin Xun has always lived alone.

Lu Qingjiu visited Yin Xun's home, which had no internet or television and almost no means of entertainment. Before Lu Qingjiu's arrival, his life seemed to be all about farming. He ate alone, slept alone and dealt with everything alone, but it was not until Lu Qingjiu came back that his life seemed to be tainted with the worldly atmosphere.

Lu Qingjiu looked at all this and understood it in his heart, so he never asked Yin Xun some questions. There are things you don't have to ask, you know the answers with your eyes.

As the night wore on, Lu Qingjiu got up from his chair and went to his bedroom, where he washed up and fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning, sunlight streaming in through the window woke Lu Qingjiu from his dream. He yawned and walked out into the front yard to see his two pigs, who should have been in the pig pen, lying in the yard sunbathing, and the battle-hardened chickens, who had taken out two small thieves, running around the yard, pecking at grass seeds and rocks, and the whole yard was a vibrant sight.

Yesterday, Chao Qianyu, a major tomato collector, sent Lu Qingjiu a message saying that he would be coming today to deliver the tomatoes, but Lu Qingjiu said that he might not have time as it would take at least a day to pick them.

After hearing this, Chao Qianyu said that it was fine and that he could ask someone to come and help him pick, so Lu Qingjiu didn't have to bother and could just wait for the money.

Lu Qingjiu was a little uncomfortable with his respectful attitude, but also felt that Chao Qianyu valued the tomatoes so much because they were the fruit of Bai Yuehu's labour.

So he hesitated for a moment before not being polite with Chao Qianyu and said, "All right, you can come over sometime." Chao Qianyu answered in the affirmative.

Lu Qingjiu heard the sound of a car horn outside the house just as he was bringing breakfast to the table. Chao Qianyu's voice also came through: " Mr. Lu, we are here."

It was only a little after eight o'clock, so Lu Qingjiu wondered why it was so early and went to open the door for Chao Qianyu.

Chao Qianyu stood outside the door, followed by two other men, and greeted Lu Qingjiu with a smile: " Mr. Lu, how are you?"

To be honest, Chao Qianyu was not bad looking, refined and gentle, like a scholarly family, but because of the previous incident, Lu Qingjiu had a general impression of him, so he nodded casually and said, "Good morning, Mr. Chao, so early?"

Chao Qianyu said, "Yes, we left at five o'clock."

"Have you eaten breakfast?" Lu Qingjiu politely spoke to them.

"No." Who knew that Chao Qianyu would respond to Lu Qingjiu's courtesy, his eyes glowing as he stared at Lu Qingjiu, "I wonder if I would have the pleasure of trying Mr. Lu's cooking."

The author has something to say: Lu Qingjiu: Pigs can do high math, can I?

Bai Yuehu: You will be my lover

Lu Qingjiu.
