The next day, Lu Qingjiu made a new pot of chicken soup. To prevent the same thing from happening as yesterday, this time Yin Xun stayed by the hot pot in case the soup was accidentally dried up.

The eyebright planted in the backyard had produced bright green seedlings in just one night, which looked no different from ordinary plants, and probably only had to wait until fruiting time for the eyeball-shaped fruit to grow.

Lu Qingjiu got up in the morning and cleaned up the yard as usual, then went to make lunch.

Recently, Tao Bao's shop has been doing better and better, and as its reputation grows, so does the demand for the 100 bottles of hair growth lotion. Of course, there are many people who suspect that this is a marketing scheme. The results of the hair regrowth lotion are there, one day it's the Mediterranean Sea, the next day it's long hair, so it's hard to believe.

Lu Qingjiu is now afraid to go on his own Wang Wang, as his computer is jammed with messages, and he has been contacted by a number of businesses wanting to produce a quantity of hairspray, but Lu Qingjiu has turned them all down.

At the end of the month, Lu Qingjiu drove the minivan to the city to take the bottles and wrappers home, and to buy fresh tropical fruit in the city.

Lu Qingjiu was driving back, and when he passed the town, he wanted to buy some dumplings for his two family members, but he saw Hu Shu and Pang Ziqi sitting in front of the shop with sad faces, seemingly talking about something.

Lu Qingjiu didn't ask too many questions and greeted them both casually, then asked the boss to pack two hundred yuan of small dumplings. Hu Shu was afraid that Lu Qingjiu would run away and grabbed his hand: "Brother Lu, what are you doing here?

Lu Qingjiu saw the look on Hu Shu's face and knew it was not easy, "Go home, why?"

"Hey, hey, hey." Hu Shu faked a smile, "Don't be so hasty, come come come, your Xiao Long Bao will be waiting for a while, hurry up and sit down, I'll buy you some congee."

Lu Qingjiu was about to refuse, but Hu Shu grabbed him by the shoulders and pushed him hard into his seat.

Pang Ziqi poured Lu Qingjiu a steaming cup of soy milk and cut a doughnut into it: " Brother Lu, eat"

Lu Qingjiu: "You seem to be older than me, right? Why are you calling me Brother Lu?"

Pang Ziqi: "That Teacher Lu "

Lu Qingjiu: "You should still call me Brother Lu."

These two were acting out of character and Lu Qingjiu would be surprised if he couldn't see that they were up to no good. But the dumplings he'd asked for wouldn't be ready for a while, so it wouldn't hurt to hear what they had to say.

"After several incidents, Hu Shu had come to regard Lu Qingjiu as an outdoor master living in Shuifu Village, so he saw him as if he were a saviour.

"Have you come across something strange again?" "No, Hu Shu, aren't you an ordinary policeman? Why are you investigating all these inexplicable paranormal events?" Lu Qingjiu looked at Hu Shu strangely, feeling that Hu Shu was moving further and further away from normal human life.

Hu Shu looked distraught at that, "I wish I could, but after the last Pang Ziqi incident, I was transferred to the same section as him." Within a few months of his transfer, all he encountered was something so bizarre that he wanted to quit.

Pang Ziqi scolded at the fat: " Hu Shu, stop it, that's not the attitude you have when you're fucking hooking up with a vixen."

Hu Shu smiles.

When he heard the word "vixen", Lu Qingjiu was a bit interested, although he already knew that his own one was not a vixen, but at least the vest had not fallen off yet, at least the surface had to be maintained.

"What is it? Tell me first." Lu Qingjiu said. Lu Qingjiu said, "I know a bit about bees," remembering Qin Yuan, who had been caught by Bai Yuehu and forced to be a bee at home, and who seemed to have nothing to do with bees but still made good honey.

"You know that particularly famous and expensive kindergarten in the city," Hu Shu said, "the best one, the Garden Kindergarten."

Lu Qingjiu: "I've heard a little bit about it." All the children in this kindergarten are the children of the rich and powerful, and the rich people who don't have some connections can't really get in, so in their city, this kindergarten is a kind of status symbol.

"There's a bee plague over there." Pang Ziqi picked up, "Whenever the children go to class, the house is full of bees."

Lu Qingjiu frowned: "Could there be some kind of beehive or something?"

"We thought about all these possible factors and checked them out." Hu Shu sighed. Hu Shu sighed, "But the most amazing thing about this is not that there are bees there, but that the bees are usually invisible there, but as soon as the children start their classes, within ten minutes, bees are flying in from all directions, as if summoned by something."

This is indeed a bit strange, Lu Qingjiu said, "Have the children changed places?"

"It was changed," Hu Shu said. Hu Shu says, "The garden picked a new address for the children to go to, who knew that as soon as they got there, the bees would come out again."

Lu Qingjiu says: "There is also this"

The media has been suppressed, but not for long, so the top is taking it very seriously, but we can't find out what's going on, so we want to ask God Lu."

Lu Qingjiu: ""Just now Brother Lu, but now God Lu.

Pang Ziqi, still in a violent temper, lit a cigarette and said in an unpleasant tone that he should do as he said and set fire to all those bees, as many as he could, to see how long they would last.

Hu Shu ignored Pang Ziqi and just looked at Lu Qingjiu, the stars in his black eyes creeping him out a little.

"I'll go back and think about it." Lu Qingjiu gave them a perfunctory answer, "There's no guarantee you'll come up with one."

Lu Qingjiu was satisfied that he didn't say no, so he nodded his head and thanked Lu Qingjiu and said he would buy him a drink in a couple of days.

Lu Qingjiu waved his hand and didn't say a word as he took the packed buns and left.

When he returned home, he steamed the buns and then brought out the stewed chicken soup with mushrooms and sprinkled green onions on top. The chicken soup with mushrooms smelled amazing, and as the chicken was from a local chicken and the mushrooms were wild, it was so tasty that you could swallow your tongue without putting a single bit of MSG in it. Although the chicken is stewed in a pot, it's not too fatty and tender, and when you eat it, the meat comes off the bone as soon as your tongue is wrapped around it.

As the three of them ate chicken soup and dumplings, Lu Qingjiu casually told Bai Yuehu about Hu Shu and asked if Bai Yuehu had any thoughts about the bee.

Bai Yuehu, after hearing this, asked the inexplicable question, "Is there enough honey in the house to eat?"

"It's not bad, it's almost enough, but if I send some to Zhu Miaomiao, I'll be a bit nervous." Lu Qingjiu said, "Why? Lu Qingjiu said, "What's wrong?" Zhu Miaomiao is a big honey eater over there, she said the honey over there is different from normal honey, it has the function of detoxifying and nourishing the face, she even tried to put honey on her face as a mask, the next day her face became smooth and soft, almost like a freshly shelled The next day her face was so smooth and soft that it looked like a freshly peeled boiled egg.

Zhu Miaomiao found out about the benefits of honey at Lu Qingjiu's house and was keen to have more of it for her beauty regime.

Zhu Miaomiao has helped the family so much, plus she often sends snacks and fruits over, so Bai Yuehu didn't complain about sending her honey, but after giving Zhu Miaomiao so much honey, the family had less to eat. The beekeeper, Qin Yuan, works five days off and is more punctual than Lu Qingjiu, so it is impossible to work overtime.

"Ask them when the garden opens and we'll go back when it does." Bai Yuehu said, "Catch some bees and come back."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Yes, but why do the bees gather in such numbers?"

Bai Yuehu: "We'll see when we go."

After they had finished eating the dumplings, Lu Qingjiu called Hu Shu and asked him when the garden kindergarten would open. Hu Shu said that the kindergarten had announced that it would open next Monday, but it was a question of whether there would be any students there, as no parents would want their children to be stung by bees.

Lu Qingjiu responded and said he would go and see for himself when the time came.

Hu Shu rushed to say yes, and said he would let Lu Qingjiu know if there was anything he could do to help.

There were still a few days to go before next week, and Lu Qingjiu was in no hurry, as there was so much to do at home these days.

Then Bai Yuehu went to the hairdresser to get a short haircut, which is particularly popular these days, and when she finished, she attracted a lot of stares from people around her.

Yin Xun is very economical. His nails and hair have stopped growing since he became a mountain god, so if he had to cut them short, he would have become a prototype in a couple of days, so he doesn't need to take care of them at all and has the same hairstyle every day.

Lu Qingjiu also took the two of them to buy a famous honey cake in the city, but after tasting the cake, Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu both said it was not as good as Lu Qingjiu's. Lu Qingjiu smiled and said it was because the family used the best honey milk and cake.

The city seems to be holding some big event recently and there are lights and decorations everywhere, making it look like a lively place.

Lu Qingjiu went to the city's vegetable market and bought something that neither Bai Yuehu nor Yin Xun had eaten before, such as sugar cane. The sugar cane was not very fresh in April and most of it was in stock, so Lu Qingjiu would not have bought it if Yin Xun had not been watching it for a long time. Apart from the sugar cane, Lu Qingjiu also bought fresh broad beans, which he planned to use partly for snacks and partly for cooking.

All in all it was a very productive day and everyone came home with a big bag in their hands.

In the evening, the group sat in the house watching TV and slowly munching on the sugar cane. Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun, however, liked it very much, and the two of them gnawed on the cane, occasionally feeding Xiao Hua Xiao Hei a few bites of it, which made their mouths taste sweet.

The local news was on the TV today, a lot of nonsense, but it was interesting to watch. Lu Qingjiu saw on the news that the garden kindergarten was closed and that it would probably be opened next Monday, just as Hu Shu had said.

Bai Yuehu eats fried broad beans on the side, which are five-spice, sautéed and dried with spices, with the dried skin peeled off and shoved straight into your mouth, nice and crispy. There were also some fried peanuts inside the beans, which made for a great snack. The only downside is that they are easily bloated!

After watching the TV programme, they each went to rest.

It was soon Monday, when Hu Shu said the garden kindergarten would open.

Bai Yuehu had told Lu Qingjiu to get up early the day before, so before five o'clock Lu Qingjiu was out of bed, in the kitchen making a deluxe sandwich and feeding the family animals before heading out.

Today Yin Xun is in charge of housekeeping, while Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu have to go to the city.

Still in their cute little van, Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu were on their way, and a few hours later, they arrived at their destination, the Garden Kindergarten in the city centre.

It was almost nine o'clock, and although the kindergarten door was wide open, no children could be seen entering or leaving, and the whole kindergarten was so quiet that even the security guard at the entrance was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Qingjiu found the silence uncomfortable: "Shall we go in?"

"Hmm." Bai Yuehu walked ahead.

Once inside, Lu Qingjiu realised that this kindergarten was indeed an aristocratic school, whether it was the infrastructure and architecture of the school, or the furnishings and design of the garden, there was a sense of grandeur in all of them.

As he grew up with his grandmother, he did not go to kindergarten and did not play with these toys much. By the time he came into contact with these things in the city, he was already too old to compete with the children.

Bai Yuehu looked at Lu Qingjiu, happy as a fool, and inclined his head slightly: "Is it fun?"

Lu Qingjiu: "It's okay, do you want to try it?" he pointed to the swing next to him.

Bai Yuehu wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and silently walked over to Lu Qingjiu and sat down on the swing.

There were so many toys in the nursery, the swings were just the basics, that Lu Qingjiu scanned around and wondered if he could play here all day without repeating himself. Of course, he only thought about it, because soon there were footsteps coming from the door.

Lu Qingjiu, after all, is a sneaky one, and hurriedly pulls Bai Yuehu behind a bush to hide.

Soon, they saw a group of people coming from the direction of the entrance, and on closer inspection, they realised that they were a dozen adults, each holding a child, followed by several men in security uniforms.

As they walk and talk, Lu Qingjiu learns from their conversation that they are the parents of the children attending the kindergarten, and that they have brought their children here today with a sense of scepticism, as the school has informed them of the opening of the school. The parents had doubts about sending their children to the school because of the previous bee incident, so they came here today to see for themselves.

"I don't think we've seen any bees, have we cleared the hive?" said one of the female parents, "but where are the other children?"

"They're watching the situation, I think." Another man replied, "I don't think there's anything going on."

The nursery is clean and fresh, not only is there no sign of bees, there is not a bug in sight.

"No, I'll have to wait a little longer." Female parents need to be more careful, "My baby almost got stung, so many bees, it scared the hell out of me."

"Well, then let's go inside the classroom and wait a bit longer." Someone agreed with her.

Apparently, the garden authorities did not tell the parents the whole truth in order to maintain the reputation of the kindergarten. Now the parents thought that a nest of bees had been born in the kindergarten and that was why there were so many bees, and now that the bees could not be seen, naturally the garden authorities should have cleared the nest.

The group came in, followed by a few more groups of parents, and the whole kindergarten came alive, but Lu Qingjiu found it strange that he didn't see the bee Hu Shu was talking about.

"There are no bees." Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu hide behind a bush like two little friends about to steal

Friend's Pervert, "Has this been resolved"

Bai Yuehu shook his head without saying anything, gesturing for Lu Qingjiu to wait a little longer.

So Lu Qingjiu waited patiently with Bai Yuehu. As time went on, the kindergarten became more and more crowded and the parents were relieved to see that there were no more bees, so they took their children to the school building and left.

By now it was almost eleven in the morning and all the children who were supposed to be there had arrived, and there was no sign of the bees.

Just as Lu Qingjiu was wondering whether to leave, his ears caught a familiar sound, the buzzing of wings flapping at high speed.

Within a few moments of the buzzing sound, a black cloud appeared above Lu Qingjiu's head, and when he looked up, he saw that it was not a cloud at all, but a huge swarm of black bees, which gathered together and even covered the sky. Lu Qingjiu opened his mouth in shock to see these bees swarming towards the school building like a black tide.

The building was full of young children just sitting in their classrooms and it was hard to imagine the damage that could be done if these bees pounced on them.

"Bai Yuehu, what should we do?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

Bai Yuehu looked in the direction where the bees were flying and said to Lu Qingjiu, "This way." With that, he ran towards the school building.

Lu Qingjiu followed Bai Yuehu and went straight up to the fourth floor in one go, stopping at the door of the classroom with 'Primary 5' written on it.

Bai Yuehu climbed the fourth floor without even taking a breath, but Lu Qingjiu was in normal shape and was gasping for breath: "Hoo hoo Bai Yuehu, what's wrong?"

Bai Yuehu points to the inside of the classroom.

The classroom was in chaos because of the bees, the children were running around and the teacher, who was supposed to take the children away quickly, was on the floor, dead or alive. Through the windows and doors, the classroom was covered in bees, thumb-sized flying insects, both on the ceiling and on the children's bodies.

"The children's cries were so deafening that Lu Qingjiu's heart leapt.

Bai Yuehu walked into the classroom and his eyes fell on the corner of the classroom.

Lu Qingjiu followed Bai Yuehu's gaze, but was instantly stunned to see a little boy sitting motionless on the ground in the corner, with a layer of black stuff attached to his body, which was still crawling, clearly countless bees that were still alive. Lu Qingjiu's first reaction was to rush up and swat the bees away from him, but as soon as he took a step, Bai Yuehu held him by the shoulder.

"Don't go." Bai Yuehu said, "It's not human."

Lu Qingjiu froze: "Not a human being"

Bai Yuehu said, "Well, the bees were recruited by him."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lu Qingjiu saw the fallen boy slowly rise from the ground, grinning, only his mouth was full of bees, and if it weren't for his black hair, Lu Qingjiu would have suspected that his whole body was actually made of bees.

"What are you," the boy spoke in a harsh tone when he saw Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu, his voice a little shrill with a buzzing remix that was unpleasant to the ears, "and you dare to come to my place to spill your guts."

Bai Yuehu said, "My name is Bai Yuehu."

The little boy said, " Bai Yuehu you are a fox spirit hahahahahahaha, you fox spirit are also worthy to come to my trouble if you don't want to die then get lost."

Bai Yuehu wasn't offended by the young boy's discrimination, he blinked and said warmly, "Your words make me feel a little nostalgic."

The little boy said, "Nostalgia."

Bai Yuehu said, "Because the last person who spoke like that has been dead for over five hundred years." As he spoke, he stepped forward and reached out his hand and grabbed the boy's neck. The little boy was so startled by Bai Yuehu's action that he began to struggle frantically, while the bees around him swarmed towards Bai Yuehu as if they were being manipulated. Bai Yuehu's whole body was wrapped in the bees and covered with the tiny insects, leaving only a human silhouette and no human form.

Lu Qingjiu was watching with great anxiety and was trying not to pull out a lighter to create a fire to smoke the bees away when he saw the bees stuck to Bai Yuehu's body change in a strange way and they started to fall off.

The little boy also saw the change and his whole body froze, he screamed, his tone full of horror can be incredible: "No it can't be, you're a fox you're not a fox at all"

Bai Yuehu originally looked quite bland, but when he heard this, his expression immediately changed and he said coldly, "I am the fox, if you dare to say that I am not a fox again, I will kill you."

The boy was clearly unaware that his words had touched Bai Yuehu's scales and he was frozen.

Lu Qingjiu, who was standing nearby listening to their conversation, said, ""Are you still so concerned about such things at this time, baby?

Author's Note: Little Boy: You Punk Vixen

Bai Yuehu No reaction.

Little Boy: I'll kill you right now

Bai Yuehu did not respond.

Little Boy: How the fuck can you be a vixen.

Bai Yuehu's anger bar is instantly full: What did you say?

Little boy.
