Chapter 67: Wounds and Tails

As Bai Yuehu was still waiting, Lu Qingjiu didn't dare to make anything too complicated, but chose the simplest dish. He cooked a large pot of braised beef in a pressure cooker and brought it into the bedroom when it was ready.

The smell of beef filled the room, but Bai Yuehu, who had just passed out, opened his eyes and, without saying a word, picked up his chopsticks and quickly ate all the food Lu Qingjiu had prepared for him.

"More?" Lu Qingjiu thought he must not have eaten enough.

Bai Yuehu shakes his head, indicating that he would like to sleep a little more and replenish his food in the morning.

Lu Qingjiu looked at the blood on his body some

Worried: "Go to sleep while I clean you up with a hot towel."

Bai Yuehu nodded, and with his eyes closed he fell back into a deep sleep. He was still wearing the black robe, the blood congealing on it, emitting a strong smell of blood.

Lu Qingjiu gingerly removed Bai Yuehu's black robe and saw the wounds that had appeared on Bai Yuehu's body as a result of the fight. Compared to the previous wounds, this one seemed to be more serious, covering almost all of Bai Yuehu's body, but fortunately it did not appear to be vital and the bleeding had stopped.

Lu Qingjiu went to get some hot water and towels, cleaned Bai Yuehu's wounds and wrapped them up with gauze. Lu Qingjiu did not dare to use too much medicine on Bai Yuehu's body, for fear of damaging his own self-healing ability.

Lu Qingjiu was very distressed when he saw the wounds on Bai Yuehu's beautiful body, and his hands were as gentle as possible, for fear of waking Bai Yuehu up. After treating the wounds, Lu Qingjiu laid Bai Yuehu down on the soft bed, covered him with bedding and turned off the light before leaving.

" Brother Lu, how is Mr. Bai" Jiang Buhuan asked with some uneasiness standing in the doorway, although he didn't see the injuries on Bai Yuehu's body, he could guess that Bai Yuehu must have been hurt quite badly, after all, it was two behemoths like that fighting, a casual claw down would The sky and the earth would be shattered. He thought he had fallen asleep at the time, but when he thought about it later, it was clear that he had been knocked unconscious.

"Sleeping." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'm a bit banged up, but I don't think it's anything serious, did you see who won at the end?"

"No." Jiang Buhuan said honestly, "I passed out halfway through."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Passed out."

"Well." Jiang Buhuan said, "They fought too much and I didn't hold on." He had only just cleaned the blood off his face.

"Oh, you go and rest." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'll just keep watch."

Jiang Buhuan nodded his head and went back to bed.

Yin Xun had to go home and Jiang Buhuan was not sure, so Lu Qingjiu decided to stay with Bai Yuehu all night, in case he woke up and wanted to eat something. Bai Yuehu is still asleep, but his brow is slightly furrowed, so it is clear that he is not sleeping soundly.

Lu Qingjiu sits next to him, reading quietly with a small lamp on. Although Bai Yuehu has been a tenant for almost a year now, the house is still empty, with only the simplest of necessities, apart from a few items of clothing for daily wear, and no sign of life beyond that. Even if it disappears, it seems to be just a turn of the clock.

The book Lu Qingjiu is holding is called Zi Bu Yuyu, which is about some strange folk tales and stories.

It was late at night, the moon had risen and the breeze from the window was cool. Lu Qingjiu felt a little tired, but he suppressed his tumbling sleepiness and took a sip of the tea that was already getting cold. Lu Qingjiu thought Bai Yuehu had woken up and hurriedly turned his head to look, but he saw by the moonlight that Bai Yuehu's eyes were still closed and he was still asleep. Lu Qingjiu, seeing this, stepped forward and gently helped Bai Yuehu to adjust his posture, and only then did Bai Yuehu's frown loosen slightly.

Lu Qingjiu was thinking of cooking some more eggs for Bai Yuehu in the morning to nourish his body.

Lu Qingjiu sat on the edge of the bed until the morning light came up, and in the latter part of the night, to banish his tiredness, he went to pour some more cups of strong tea, which he drank while waiting, and by dawn he was too sleepy to feel sleepy.

Lu Qingjiu guessed that Bai Yuehu would be waking up soon, so he went to the kitchen to boil water for cooking. He knew that Bai Yuehu liked meat, so he simply made another pot of chicken soup, which was strange in the morning, but Bai Yuehu would like it.

Bai Yuehu, always a light sleeper, slept soundly, knowing that Lu Qingjiu was by his side, sitting not far from him.

This made Bai Yuehu drop his guard and let his body sink into the soft mattress, he could smell the light scent of tea, the fragrance lingered in the room and filled him with a sense of security.

Bai Yuehu doesn't remember much of what happened after that, because he was really asleep.

Lu Qingjiu made breakfast and came back to Bai Yuehu's bedroom. Bai Yuehu had already woken up and was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed.

Bai Yuehu nods.

Lu Qingjiu was busy bringing over the food from the kitchen, a large pot of stewed chicken and a large bowl of chicken noodle soup, both of which tasted very light and were perfect for Bai Yuehu's newly injured body.

Bai Yuehu picked up the food, but instead of eating it straight away, he said, " Where is Jiang Buhuan?"

Lu Qingjiu thought he was worried about Jiang Buhuan's safety: "He has a small injury, he seems to be fine, he's sleeping, should I call him over?"

Bai Yuehu frowned, "Why hasn't he left yet."

Lu Qingjiu almost choked on these words and said with a tearful smile, "He can go now."

"Naturally, he can go, otherwise why would I go to all that trouble?" Bai Yuehu was a little upset at the thought of Jiang Buhuan having to dawdle with the family for breakfast, "Let him go, hurry up."

Lu Qingjiu smiled and said yes.

After saying this, Bai Yuehu slowly ate the food in front of him.

Lu Qingjiu was watching Bai Yuehu tenderly as he ate the noodles, and Yin Xun came over, smelling the chicken soup and walking up to Bai Yuehu's bedroom door, but he didn't dare to come in, so he poked his head in and saw Lu Qingjiu's fatherly eyes and smile.

Yin Xun: ""Okay, another son in the family, just in time for the national two-child policy.

Bai Yuehu finished his meal and went back to bed, Lu Qingjiu was feeling a bit sleepy after he had packed up his things, and when he left the bedroom door he saw Yin Xun, who was a thief.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Qingjiu reached out and slapped him on the head.

"I'm not watching your father-son love... pooh, watch your friendship grow." Yin Xun said, "You've been keeping watch all night."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Well, for breakfast, I'll make a chicken soup with rice."

Yin Xun said, "Eat, go and get some sleep afterwards."

Lu Qingjiu said, "You keep watch."

Yin Xun scratched his head: "It's fine to keep watch, but you have to say hello to Bai Yuehu first and tell him not to go after my tender flesh," otherwise he probably wouldn't even have a chance to regenerate with one mouthful.

Lu Qingjiu said goodbye with a helpless look on his face.

Lu Qingjiu went to grab some pickled vegetables and mixed them with sesame oil, then ate a bowl of hot chicken soup with Yin Xun and the two of them.

"Good morning." He snapped at Lu Qingjiu.

"Good morning." Lu Qingjiu said, "Come along and have breakfast."

Jiang Buhuan nods happily, his happiest time here is the three meals a day. The rice was softened by the chicken soup, sprinkled with spring onions, and the savoury vegetables were fresh and tasty, topped with sesame oil and spicy seeds, which chewed perfectly in his mouth to take away the greasiness of the chicken soup. Jiang Buhuan was having a good time when he heard Lu Qingjiu say, "Bai Yuehu said the thing that wanted to kill you has been taken care of, so you can leave Shuifu Village now."

"It's settled." Jiang Buhuan's heart actually bubbled with a slight loss when he heard these words.

"Hmm." Lu Qingjiu said, "If he says so, he should be fine."

Jiang Buhuan said, "That's all right then."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Buy a train ticket for the afternoon, I'll sleep for a while and then take you to the town." He thought Jiang Buhuan, a child, wanted to leave, because after all, Shuifu Village was so remote and backward that it was basically only suitable for people with a pensioner's mentality.

"Good." With the matter taken care of, Jiang Buhuan had no excuse to stay on, and as he ate the chicken and rice soup in front of him in a tasteless manner, he asked in a small voice, "So can I come back later?"

Lu Qingjiu looks surprised.

"I mean to come and have fun on holiday later." Jiang Buhuan hastened to explain, "The accommodation will be paid for and it won't be too much trouble for you"

"Sure." Lu Qingjiu smiled, he didn't expect Jiang Buhuan to like Shuifu Village, "Welcome." But celebrities are always busy, and I'm afraid Jiang Buhuan doesn't have much time to spend at Shuifu Village.

"That's great." Jiang Buhuan said, "I can't thank you enough for all the trouble you've helped me with."

"No need." Lu Qingjiu said, "It's not your own trouble either." If Bai Yuehu's story is true, then Jiang Buhuan is just a poor man who has been implicated, and the ultimate target of the mastermind behind it is still Shuifu Village and Bai Yuehu, who wants to contaminate Bai Yuehu with Jiang Buhuan's death, but doesn't know what that contamination really means

Jiang Buhuan seemed to understand, but when he saw that Lu Qingjiu was not going to explain, he did not bother to ask again.

After staying up all night, Lu Qingjiu was a bit sleepy, so after dinner he went to bed and slept until the afternoon. When he got up, he went to check on Bai Yuehu's status... no, to be precise, to check that Yin Xun was still alive.

"I'm so scared." Yin Xun, who was alone in the room with Bai Yuehu and so nervous that she had half-chewed her hand, said, "Why don't I send Jiang Buhuan away and you keep an eye on him?"

Lu Qingjiu: "He woke up in the middle"

Yin Xun: "I woke up, he woke up halfway and looked at me and asked me where Lu Qingjiu was, I said I was sleeping, he told me to stay away from him, otherwise he wouldn't be responsible for eating me if I got dazed."

Lu Qingjiu: ""Why does he think it is Bai Yuehu who is disliking Yin Xun?

Yin Xun said sadly: "I am only a poor, weak and helpless mountain god, why do you do this to me?"

Lu Qingjiu finally agreed to Yin Xun's proposal and asked him to take Jiang Buhuan away in his minivan, after all, Yin Xun's hand was already half chewed off due to nervousness and who knows when it would grow back. The other people's hands are just a cute way of describing what they eat, but his stupid son is really chewing on them.

So Yin Xun happily took up his task and went to see Jiang Buhuan off, while Lu Qingjiu stayed in the house to watch over Bai Yuehu, who was still sleeping.

The other animals were all a little afraid of Bai Yuehu, but strangely from the moment he met him, Lu Qingjiu had little fear of him, as he thought Bai Yuehu was just the most ordinary fox spirit, nothing to fear.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Qingjiu leaning against the window reading a book, the warm sunlight shining on his cheeks, gilding his skin and black hair with an ambiguous golden colour, the light blurring Lu Qingjiu's lines, as if he was about to disappear with the light.

" Lu Qingjiu ." Bai Yuehu called his name, as if reciting a mantra that would bring him back.

Lu Qingjiu's body moved and he looked up at Bai Yuehu, and when he saw him wake up, his face showed the usual gentle smile: "You're awake."

"Hmm." Bai Yuehu watched him walk briskly up to him, staring against the light, while his chest bulged, as if something was about to erupt from it, causing him to purse his lips slightly, afraid he was giving away his emotions.

"There are few things Lu Qingjiu can do for Bai Yuehu, but one of them is what Bai Yuehu needs most.

Bai Yuehu nods his head. Yesterday's fight had sapped too much of his strength and he needed a long replenishment and recovery.

"I'll go and make it for you." Lu Qingjiu said, "What do you want to eat?"

Bai Yuehu said, "Anything is fine."

Lu Qingjiu recited, "Then I'll cook you some pig's feet and stir-fry some fried rice."

Bai Yuehu said, "Anything."

Lu Qingjiu turned around and went to the kitchen. The food was all ready-made and he had prepared it before because he was worried that Bai Yuehu would not have anything to eat when he woke up. He quickly made the food and took it to Bai Yuehu's bedroom, only to find it empty, with no Bai Yuehu in sight.

" Bai Yuehu " Lu Qingjiu called out in a bit of a panic.

"I'm here." Bai Yuehu's voice came from the courtyard.

Lu Qingjiu walked out into the courtyard and saw Bai Yuehu sitting in the rocking chair again, and he said, "Wanted to get some sun."

Lu Qingjiu sighed with relief and smiled as he walked over to him and placed the food on the stone table, "Eat."

Bai Yuehu lifts his hands and begins to eat slowly.

The spring sun is indeed at its best. The cool breeze brings scattered peach blossom petals from nowhere, some of which fall in the soil of the courtyard, and some of which fall on Bai Yuehu's black hair. Lu Qingjiu suddenly stood up and walked behind Bai Yuehu, hanging his head and pulling Bai Yuehu's hair behind his head, tying it simply together.

"Will they come again?" Lu Qingjiu asks.

"Well." Bai Yuehu said, "Where there is light, there is shadow, and as long as the light remains, the shadow will not be destroyed."

Lu Qingjiu said, "This is what you have been doing for generations."

Bai Yuehu said, "Yes."

Lu Qingjiu sighs softly.

Bai Yuehu said, "By the way, I have something to show you."

Lu Qingjiu: "What"

He had thought it was something very important, so he watched Bai Yuehu stand up, then with a serious face, he turned his buttocks towards Lu Qingjiu. Before Lu Qingjiu could react, he saw nine white furry tails emerge from Bai Yuehu's tailbone, and Bai Yuehu's voice came through: "Look, it's growing. "Look, it's growing out."

Lu Qingjiu :""

Bai Yuehu: "I said it would grow in the spring."

Lu Qingjiu's shoulders twitched as he tried hard to hold back his laughter, but failed in his efforts, and his whole body bent over in laughter, even as his eyes burst into tears.

Bai Yuehu looked at Lu Qingjiu suspiciously: "What are you laughing at?"

"No, it's nothing." Lu Qingjiu thought his fox spirit was so cute that he couldn't even resist reaching out and hugging the nine fluffy fox tails, feeling the silky touch they left after rubbing against his cheek, "I like you so much."

Bai Yuehu: "Like me"

Lu Qingjiu gave Tails a firm kiss, "Of course."

Bai Yuehu looked at Lu Qingjiu suspiciously and muttered something in a low voice. Lu Qingjiu was standing behind him and naturally he heard Bai Yuehu's little complaint clearly.

"Not at all." Lu Qingjiu defended, "Who told you I like furry things?"

Bai Yuehu: "Humans love it." His tail twitched, "What are you doing holding it if you don't like it."

Lu Qingjiu said, "I like your tail because he belongs to you, if he belonged to someone else I probably wouldn't like it."

Bai Yuehu did not say anything, but obviously did not believe Lu Qingjiu's words, hum, humans are always ready to lie, say so with their mouths, and then turn and run when they really see his prototype, otherwise how did the word Ye Gong Hao Long come about?

Lu Qingjiu said helplessly, "You see I'm not after Su Xi's father's tail, right?"

Bai Yuehu looked relentlessly into Lu Qingjiu's soul: "That's because he didn't show it."

Lu Qingjiu: ""He couldn't actually argue with that.

"And he only has a bald tail now." Bai Yuehu said, "The extra fur is lost to me for a fleece coat, warm?"

Lu Qingjiu: "Warm."

Bai Yuehu: "Good boy."

Lu Qingjiu was in tears. He wanted to tell Bai Yuehu that he didn't really care that much about Fluffy, but he felt that his hands were not very convincing when he held his tail. "

Bai Yuehu raised an eyebrow: "Is the tail no longer good enough to hold or is the coat no longer good enough to wear"

Lu Qingjiu :""

Bai Yuehu: "I am a furry."

Lu Qingjiu: ""OK, it's better for him to skip this topic.

So Bai Yuehu sat back in his rocking chair and proudly lent Lu Qingjiu his tail to hold. The tail felt just like the real thing, it was warm and moving, and it wrapped around Lu Qingjiu's waist, which was very pleasing.

Lu Qingjiu was a bit torn, the fur on his tail was more luxuriant and smoother than before, he was as comfortable as a big doll to hold, and the most amazing thing was that he could wrap himself around people, Lu Qingjiu leaned on him like a cushion, and with the warmth of the sun, he soon drifted off to sleep.

By the time he woke up again, the sun was already in the west and he opened his eyes to see the side of Bai Yuehu's face. A petal of a peach blossom fell on the tip of Bai Yuehu's nose and Lu Qingjiu reached out his fingers and gently picked it up.

Bai Yuehu, however, was awakened, and his eyes opened, too, with some hazy sleep in them, and he turned his head sideways, with a natural movement and a soft grunt, and brought Lu Qingjiu into his arms.

This is probably a legacy of sleeping together in winter, when Lu Qingjiu went to bed in a good position, but woke up in Bai Yuehu's arms almost every morning.

"Well," Lu Qingjiu said, "up and about, haven't made dinner yet."

Bai Yuehu said, "I'm not eating."

Lu Qingjiu laughed, "Okay, stop it, you've just been injured, how can you not eat."

Bai Yuehu said, "I'm not very hungry either."

Although Bai Yuehu said he wasn't hungry, Lu Qingjiu struggled to get out of his arms and looked at the time, it was after 6pm, but Yin Xun, who had gone to see Jiang Buhuan off, hadn't returned yet.

Lu Qingjiu was a bit worried, so he took out his mobile phone and called Yin Xun.

When the call was answered, Yin Xun's voice came through on the other end and he said, "Don't worry about me, Wine, I won't be back until later."

"What's wrong?" Lu Qingjiu asked suspiciously.

Yin Xun said, "It's not a big deal, I just found a red rash on my bottom after I sent Jiang Buhuan away.

Lu Qingjiu: ""He remembered that Yin Xun seemed to be allergic to slugs, but it wasn't serious before, so why did he suddenly get sick today?

Yin Xun's explanation was perfunctory: "I was wondering too, the doctor said it might be spring, and spring is a time of high incidence of illness."

Lu Qingjiu: "That's fine, you come back early."

Yin Xun silently hung up the phone, looking at the screen of his mobile phone and weeping. He also wanted to go back, but this afternoon someone sent him a text message saying that he was not allowed to appear before six o'clock, otherwise he would be killed and eaten. There was nothing he could do but let the minivan take the blame. This was the first time he had ever received a text message from Bai Yuehu. When he received the message, he was thinking that Bai Yuehu had changed his mind and was actually sending him a message, but when he opened it, he saw that Bai Yuehu wanted him dead.

Yin Xun wiped his tears and worried about his best friend, "Don't let me go back and see Bai Yuehu gnawing you down to a skeleton" Lu Qingjiu, unlike him, could eat and regenerate, but then again, what kind of eating is open to question.

Author's Comment: Bai Yuehu: Lu Qingjiu, do you like Tails or me?

Lu Qingjiu: Only children do multiple choice questions, I want them all for adults.

Bai Yuehu: All want that I am your tail is also yours, come, I will help you to insert the tail up.

Lu Qingjiu: etc. etc.
