The next day, Lu Qingjiu cooked another pot of chicken soup. To prevent the same thing from happening again, Yin Xun stayed by the hot pot the entire time, fearing the soup would dry up.

The eyeball grass planted in the backyard produced green seedlings after just one night. The seedlings look no different from ordinary plants. I guess it will only grow eyeball-shaped fruits when it bears fruit.

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

Business has been booming on the Taobao store lately, and as its reputation grows, the 100 bottles of hair tonic are in short supply. Of course, many people suspect this is just marketing, but the effectiveness of the hair tonic is clear: a man with bald hair one day and long hair the next is unbelievable.

Lu Qingjiu no longer dares to log into his Wangwang account, as he is bombarded with messages that could freeze his computer. He also encountered some businesses contacting him, wanting to mass-produce hair spray, but Lu Qingjiu rejected them all.

At the end of this month, Lu Qingjiu had to prepare for next month's hair growth water. He drove a small truck to the city to transport the glass bottles and wrapping paper back home, and also bought some fresh tropical fruits in the city.

Lu Qingjiu was driving back. When he passed by the town, he wanted to go to the steamed bun shop to buy some steamed buns for his family, but he saw Hu Shu and Pang Ziqi sitting at the door of the shop with sad faces, seemingly discussing something.

Lu Qingjiu didn't ask any more questions, just casually greeted the two of them, and then asked the boss to pack up 200 yuan worth of dumplings. Unexpectedly, when they saw Lu Qingjiu, Hu Shu and Pang Ziqi's eyes lit up. Hu Shu, as if afraid that Lu Qingjiu would run away, quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Old Lu, Brother Lu, where are you going?"

Lu Qingjiu knew this was not a simple matter when he saw Hu Shu's expression, "Go home, what for?"

"Hehe, hehe." Hu Shu smirked, "Don't be so impatient. Come on, your dumplings will take a while. Sit down quickly. I'll treat you to some porridge."

Lu Qingjiu was about to refuse, but Hu Shu grabbed her shoulders and pressed her down on the seat.

Pang Ziqi poured Lu Qingjiu a cup of hot soy milk and put a fried dough stick into the soy milk: "Brother Lu, eat!"

Lu Qingjiu: "...You seem to be older than me, right? Why do you call me Brother Lu?"

Pang Ziqi: "What about Teacher Lu?"

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

Being too attentive without any reason is either a traitor or a thief. These two people's behavior was very abnormal. If Lu Qingjiu couldn't tell that they were up to something, then there would be something fishy. However, the dumplings he ordered would take a while to be packed, so it wouldn't hurt to listen to what the two of them had to say.

"Brother Lu, I want to ask if you know any monsters in the form of bees?" After several incidents, Hu Shu had regarded Lu Qingjiu as an outdoor master who lived in seclusion in Shuifu Village, so seeing Lu Qingjiu was like seeing a savior.

"What strange things have you encountered again? Hey, no, Hu Shu, aren't you an ordinary policeman? Why are you investigating only these inexplicable supernatural events?" Lu Qingjiu looked at Hu Shu strangely, feeling that Hu Shu was getting further and further away from normal human life.

Hu Shu looked extremely distressed when he heard this: "I want to do that too, but after the last Pang Ziqi incident, I was transferred to the same department as him." However, within a few months after being transferred there, he encountered all kinds of weird things that subverted his worldview, and he even wanted to resign.

Pang Ziqi scolded him: "Hu Shu, don't give me that. This isn't the attitude you used to have when you were fucking hooking up with a vixen."

Hu Shu smirked.

Hearing the word "fox spirit", Lu Qingjiu became a little interested. Although he already knew that the one he owned was not a fox spirit, he still hadn't taken off his disguise, so he had to maintain it on the surface.

"What's the matter? Tell me first." Lu Qingjiu said, "As for bees, I know a little bit..." He thought of Qin Yuan, who was captured by Bai Yuehu at home and forced to be a bee. Although Qin Yuan seemed to have nothing to do with bees, the honey he made was still very delicious.

"You know that famous kindergarten for aristocrats in the city?" Hu Shu said, "The best one, the Garden Kindergarten."

Lu Qingjiu: “I’ve heard a little bit.” The children attending this kindergarten are all from high-ranking officials and nobles. Rich people generally can’t get in without some connections. In their city, this kindergarten is considered a symbol of status.

"There's a bee plague over there," Pang Ziqi continued. "As soon as the kids go to class, the whole house is filled with bees."

Lu Qingjiu frowned: "Could it be a beehive or something like that?"

"We've considered all these possible factors and investigated them," Hu Shu sighed. "But the most amazing thing about this isn't the presence of bees in that area, but the fact that bees aren't usually seen there. But as soon as the children start class, within ten minutes, swarms of bees start flying in from all directions, as if summoned by something."

This was indeed a bit strange. Lu Qingjiu asked, "Have the children changed places?"

"It was changed," Hu Shu said. "The kindergarten chose a new location for the children to attend class. Who knew that once the children arrived, the bees would appear again."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Is there such a thing?"

Hu said worriedly, "Yes, this matter has caused quite a stir. At least the media has suppressed it, but it can't be suppressed for too long. So the higher-ups are taking it very seriously. But we've been searching and searching and can't find the cause, so I wanted to ask you, Master Lu."

Lu Qingjiu: “…” He was Brother Lu just now, but now he is Immortal Lu.

Pang Ziqi still had a bad temper. He lit a cigarette and said in a bad tone that they should do as he said and burn all the bees with fire. No matter how many came, they would be burned. He wanted to see how long these things could last.

Hu Shu ignored Pang Ziqi and just looked at Lu Qingjiu. The stars in his black eyes made Lu Qingjiu feel a little creepy.

"I'll go back and think about it." Lu Qingjiu gave them a perfunctory answer, "I can't guarantee that I can figure it out."

Hu Shu was very satisfied that Lu Qingjiu did not directly refuse. He nodded and thanked Lu Qingjiu, and said that he would treat Lu Qingjiu to a drink in two days.

Lu Qingjiu waved his hand without saying anything, then took the packed buns and left.

Back home, he steamed the buns first, then served the stewed mushroom and chicken soup, garnishing it with juicy green onions. The chicken and mushroom soup was incredibly fragrant, and since the chicken was free-range and the mushrooms were wild, it needed no MSG at all, making it incredibly delicious and incredibly flavorful. Despite the tenderness of the chicken, it wasn't tough at all, but rather plump and tender. The meat just fell off the bone as soon as I rolled my tongue around it.

The three of them were eating chicken soup and dumplings. Lu Qingjiu casually told Bai Yuehu about Hu Shu's affairs and asked Bai Yuehu what he thought about bees.

After listening to this, Bai Yuehu asked a puzzling question: "Is there enough honey at home?"

"It's okay, almost enough. If I send some to Zhu Miaomiao as well, I'll be a little nervous." Lu Qingjiu said, "What's wrong?" Zhu Miaomiao is a big honey consumer. She said that the honey here is different from ordinary honey and has the function of detoxification and beauty. She even tried applying honey as a facial mask on her face. The next day, her face became smooth and soft, just like a boiled egg that had just been peeled.

After discovering the efficacy of the honey in Lu Qingjiu's home, Zhu Miaomiao naturally couldn't let it go, and strongly requested Lu Qingjiu to leave her some more honey for beauty use.

Zhu Miaomiao helped the family so much, and she often sent snacks and fruits, so Bai Yuehu had no complaints about sending honey to her. However, after giving Zhu Miaomiao so much honey, there was less food for the family. After all, they only had one beehive, and Qin Yuan worked five days a week and had two days off, so he got off work more punctually than Lu Qingjiu, so it was impossible for him to work overtime.

"Ask them when the park opens, and then we'll go take a look after it opens," White Moon Fox said. "Catch some bees."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Okay, but why are there so many bees?"

Bai Yuehu: "You'll know when you get there."

After they finished their dumplings, Lu Qingjiu called Hu Shu and asked him when Garden Kindergarten would open. Hu Shu said the kindergarten had notified them of the next Monday, but whether there would be students attending was a question. After all, no parent would want their child to be stung by a bee.

Lu Qingjiu responded and said that he would go and take a look when the time comes.

Hu Shu quickly agreed and told Lu Qingjiu to tell him directly if he needed any help.

There were still several days until next week, so Lu Qingjiu was not in a hurry. There were too many things to do at home recently. Taking advantage of the good spring sunshine, he washed all the summer clothes that had been kept in the cupboard for a whole winter. He found that Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu didn't have many clothes, so he took them to the city and bought several sets of summer clothes.

Then he asked Bai Yuehu to go to the barber shop to get a short haircut which was very popular recently. After the haircut, he attracted a lot of attention from people around him. Not only girls were secretly glancing at him, but boys were also looking over here.

Yin Xun is very frugal. Since he became a mountain god, his nails and hair have stopped growing. If he insists on cutting them short, they will return to their original shape in two 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 very famous honey cake in the city. However, after tasting the cake, Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu both said that the cake was not as delicious as the one made by Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu smiled and said that it was because the honey, milk and cake used at home were the best.

It seems that the city is going to hold some grand event soon. There are lights and decorations everywhere, and it looks like a lively scene.

Lu Qingjiu went to the city's vegetable market and bought some things that neither Bai Yuehu nor Yin Xun had ever eaten, such as sugarcane. However, the sugarcane wasn't very fresh in April; most of it was just inventory. If Yin Xun hadn't been staring at it for a long time, Lu Qingjiu definitely wouldn't have bought it. Besides sugarcane, Lu Qingjiu also bought fresh broad beans, planning to use some as snacks and some for cooking.

All in all, we had a fruitful day today, and when we got home, everyone was carrying large and small bags.

In the evening, everyone sat in the house, watching TV while slowly chewing sugarcane. Bai Yuehu disliked this fruit, which only tasted sweet and took a lot of effort, so she rarely touched it. Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun loved it. They munched on the sugarcane, and from time to time, they fed a few bites to Xiaohua and Xiaohei beside them, their mouths sweet.

The TV was broadcasting today's local news, which was full of random trivial matters, but it was still quite interesting to watch. Lu Qingjiu saw the news that the Garden Kindergarten was closed, and the news said that it might open next Monday - this was exactly what Hu Shu said.

Bai Yuehu was eating fried broad beans nearby. They were spiced, fried with spices until dry. Peeling off the dried skins and popping them directly into my mouth was fragrant and crispy. There were also some fried peanuts in the broad beans, making them a great snack to enjoy. The only drawback was that it made me bloat easily...

After watching the TV program, they went to rest.

Monday soon arrived, the time when the Garden Kindergarten, as Hu Shu had mentioned, would open.

The day before, Bai Yuehu told Lu Qingjiu that he had to get up early, so before five o'clock, Lu Qingjiu got out of bed, went to the kitchen to make a luxurious sandwich, fed the animals at home, and then planned to go out.

Today Yin Xun is in charge of looking after the house, while Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu are going to the city.

Still using the cute little truck, Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu set off. A few hours later, they arrived at their destination, the Garden Kindergarten in the city center.

It was almost nine o'clock. Although the kindergarten door was wide open, there were no children coming in or out. The whole kindergarten was very quiet, and even the security guard at the door was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Qingjiu felt that this silence made people feel uncomfortable: "Should we go in?"

"Yeah." Bai Yuehu walked in front.

After entering the kindergarten, Lu Qingjiu sighed that this kindergarten was indeed an aristocratic school. Whether it was the school's infrastructure and buildings, or the items and designs placed in the kindergarten, they all exuded a sense of luxury. The brightly colored teaching buildings were unique in shape, and the plastic playground was decorated with various toys. Lu Qingjiu couldn't help but look around to see if there was anyone around, and quietly sat on the swing and swung twice.

Because he grew up with his grandmother, he had never been to kindergarten and had hardly played with these toys. By the time he came into contact with these things in the city, he had already grown up and naturally felt embarrassed to compete with other children for them.

Bai Yuehu looked at Lu Qingjiu who was having fun like a fool and tilted his head slightly: "Is it fun?"

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

Bai Yuehu hesitated to speak, and in the end, she said nothing. She walked silently to Lu Qingjiu's side and sat on the swing.

This kindergarten had so many toys, and the swings were just the basics. Lu Qingjiu glanced around and even doubted whether he could play here all day without repeating anything. Of course, he was just thinking about it, because soon, footsteps were heard from the direction of the door.

After all, Lu Qingjiu was a sneaky person, so he quickly pulled Bai Yuehu and hid behind a bush.

Soon, they saw a group of people walking towards them from the direction of the door. Upon closer inspection, they found that they were more than a dozen adults, each holding a child in their hands, and followed by several men in security uniforms.

As they walked and talked, Lu Qingjiu learned their identities from their conversation—they were the parents of children attending this kindergarten. They had come here with their children, skeptical of the school's reopening today. Because of the previous bee incident, the parents were skeptical about whether they could send their children to school, so they had come here specifically to see for themselves.

"I don't seem to see any bees anymore. Did you clean out the hive?" one of the female parents asked. "But where are the other children?"

"They're probably checking the situation," another person replied. "I don't think anything's wrong."

The kindergarten is clean and fresh. There is not only no trace of bees, but not even a single insect to be seen.

"No, I have to wait a little longer." Female parents need to be more careful. "My baby almost got stung. There were so many bees. It was scary."

"Well, let's go into the classroom and wait." Someone agreed with her.

Obviously, in order to protect the reputation of the kindergarten, the kindergarten did not tell the parents the whole truth. Now the parents think that there is a beehive in the kindergarten, so there are so many bees. Now that the bees are gone, it must be that the kindergarten has cleaned up the hive.

After this group of people came in, several groups of parents came one after another, and the whole kindergarten became lively. But what made Lu Qingjiu feel strange was that he did not see the bees that Hu Shu mentioned.

"There are no bees." Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu hid behind the bushes, like two perverts who were about to steal children. "Is this matter resolved?"

Bai Yuehu shook his head without saying anything, signaling Lu Qingjiu to wait a moment.

So Lu Qingjiu patiently waited with Bai Yuehu. As time went by, more and more children came to the kindergarten. When the parents saw that there were no bees, they felt relieved and sent their children to the teaching building before leaving.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning. All the children who were supposed to come had arrived, but there was no sign of the bees.

Just when Lu Qingjiu was thinking about whether to leave, his ears caught a familiar sound, buzzing buzzing buzzing - it was the buzzing sound left by the high-speed flapping of wings. The next moment, Lu Qingjiu realized that this was the sound of bees!

Less than a moment after the buzzing sound came, a black cloud appeared above Lu Qingjiu's head. He looked up and found that it was not a cloud at all, but a large group of black bees. They gathered together and even covered the sky. The huge buzzing sound made people's goose bumps explode instantly. Lu Qingjiu opened his mouth in astonishment and saw these bees rushing towards the teaching building like a black tide.

At this time, the teaching building was full of children who had just sat down in the classroom. It was hard to imagine how much damage would be caused if these bees pounced on them.

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

Bai Yuehu looked at the direction the bee flew and said to Lu Qingjiu, "This way." Then he ran towards the teaching building.

Lu Qingjiu followed Bai Yuehu and went straight up to the fourth floor, stopping at the door of the classroom with "Grade 5 Class" written on it.

Bai Yuehu climbed to the fourth floor without even taking a breath, but Lu Qingjiu had the physique of an ordinary person and was panting heavily: "Huff... Yuehu, what's wrong?"

Bai Yuehu pointed inside the classroom.

The classroom was in chaos because of the bees, with children running around everywhere. The teacher, who was supposed to be leading the children away quickly, collapsed to the ground, his life or death unknown. Bees swarmed through the windows and doors, filling the entire classroom. Whether it was the ceiling, walls, or the children's bodies, these thumb-sized flying insects were everywhere.

"Wuwaa, wuwaa..." The children's crying was deafening, and Lu Qingjiu was frightened.

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

Lu Qingjiu followed Bai Yuehu's gaze and was stunned. In the corner, a little boy sat motionless on the ground, covered in a layer of black matter that was still crawling around. It was clearly countless living bees. The boy seemed completely unable to move. Lu Qingjiu's first reaction was to rush over and brush off the bees, but as soon as he took a step, Bai Yuehu pinned him down by the shoulder.

"Don't go." White Moon Fox said, "This isn't a human."

Lu Qingjiu was stunned: "Not a human?"

Bai Yuehu said, "Well, he attracted the bees."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingjiu saw the fallen little boy slowly getting up from the ground. He grinned, but his mouth was full of bees. If it weren't for the black hair sticking out, Lu Qingjiu would even suspect that his entire body was made up of bees.

"Who are you?" The little boy spoke in a harsh tone when he saw Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu. His voice was a little sharp and mixed with a buzzing sound, which made people feel uncomfortable. "How dare you come to my territory and act wildly?"

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

The little boy said, "White Moon Fox? Are you a vixen? Hahahahaha, are you vixens worthy enough to trouble me? Get out of here right now if you don't want to die."

Being discriminated against by the little boy, Bai Yuehu was not angry at all. He blinked and said softly: "Your words make me feel a little nostalgic."

The little boy asked, "Miss?"

"Because the last person who said that was dead over five hundred years ago," the White Moon Fox said. He stepped forward and grabbed the boy's neck. Startled by the White Moon Fox's actions, the boy began to struggle frantically, while the bees around him swarmed towards the White Moon Fox, seemingly controlled by them. The White Moon Fox was completely engulfed by the bees, his entire body covered in these tiny insects. Only the outline of a human form remained, and no trace of his true form remained.

Lu Qingjiu was watching anxiously from the side, and was considering whether to take out a lighter to create a fire to smoke the bees away, but he saw that the bees stuck to the White Moon Fox had undergone a strange change - they began to fall off continuously, but in just a moment, all the bees attached to the White Moon Fox's skin fell off him.

The little boy also noticed this change and was completely stunned. He screamed, his tone filled with fear and disbelief: "No... Impossible, you are a fox? You are not a fox at all!!"

Bai Yuehu's expression was originally quite calm, but after hearing this, his expression immediately changed and he said coldly: "I am a fox. If you dare to say I am not a fox again, I will kill you."

The little boy obviously didn't know how his words had touched the White Moon Fox's sore spot, and he was completely stunned.

Lu Qingjiu, who was standing by and listening to the conversation between the two: "..." At this time, do you still care so much about this kind of thing, baby? Besides, did you miss the point?

The author has something to say: Little boy: You useless vixen!

The White Moon Fox didn't respond.

Little boy: I will kill you right now!

The White Moon Fox didn't respond.

Little boy: How the hell could you be a vixen?

Bai Yuehu's anger bar instantly filled up: You! Say! What!?

Little boy: ????
