To be honest, Lu Qingjiu had never heard of this before coming here, but looking at Yin Xun's calm expression, it was obvious that he was no longer surprised by this kind of thing.
"Isn't there an easier solution?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"At least I don't know." Yin Xun said, "But you can ask Bai Yuehu. It seems that he knows a lot about these things."
Lu Qingjiu glanced at Yin Xun and nodded thoughtfully.
While eating dinner, Lu Qingjiu told Bai Yuehu about this matter. Dinner was tomato meatball soup made with meatballs fried by Lu Qingjiu. The fried meatballs were crispy on the outside, just enough to coat the meat juice. When you bite into them, your mouth is filled with delicious soup, and the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes is very appetizing.
"Stepping on the step?" Bai Yuehu said, "It should be that the soul is unstable." He responded casually, and his statement was exactly the same as Yin Xun's.
"Really?" Lu Qingjiu asked, "Then is there any way to solve it?"
Bai Yuehu said, "Yes."
Lu Qingjiu's eyes lit up: "What method?"
White Moon Fox said, "Go to the mountains and collect spider webs. Then, make a net bag out of the webs you collected. Every night from 12:00 to 1:00, wave the net bag back and forth over that person's head."
Lu Qingjiu listened carefully and said, "Is that all?"
Bai Yuehu propped up his chin and said lazily: "If Hun'er comes back, then there is hope. If not, then there is hope."
Lu Qingjiu asked: "What will happen?"
Bai Yuehu said, "Let's prepare for the funeral."
Lu Qingjiu almost choked, and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to try."
While the two of them were talking, Yin Xun sat beside them, listening quietly without commenting. Unlike Lu Qingjiu, although they often ate together, Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu were still not very close. At least, Yin Xun rarely approached Bai Yuehu to talk. But if you think about it, considering Bai Yuehu's aloof demeanor, it's unlikely anyone would deliberately approach him to chat.
After dinner, Lu Qingjiu told Zhu Miaomiao about the incident. Zhu Miaomiao agreed and said she would tell the child's parents right away. Although she didn't know if this would work, she thought it was a last resort. She also said that she had already taken leave and would bring Zhang Chuyang to the hair growth clinic in two days.
Lu Qingjiu said yes.
After he finished his call, he walked into the yard and saw Yin Xun teasing the chicks. The chicks had shed their yellow down and were now covered in feathers of various colors. Although they were still small, they were all full of energy and chirped non-stop.
Yin Xun held one in his hands, and the others surrounded him and pecked at him, trying to get Yin Xun to put their companion down.
Lu Qingjiu asked, "What's wrong?"
Yin Xun said, "Qingjiu, do you think the method Bai Yuehu suggested is useful?"
"I don't know." Lu Qingjiu said, "Maybe it will be useful." After all, the White Moon Fox is a fox spirit, and it is normal for it to know things that humans don't know.
"Have you visited your grandma's grave since you came back?" Yin Xun suddenly asked.
"Yes." Not long after Lu Qingjiu returned, he went to the mountain and cleaned his grandmother's grave thoroughly. Unlike the cemeteries in the city, the graves on the mountain were unattended, and the weeds and flowers that grew there were ignored. If the descendants didn't clean it, in a year or two the grave would be covered by weeds and it would be impossible to find the location.
"Do you know what a dream catcher is?" Yin Xun said.
"Dreamcatcher?" Lu Qingjiu asked, "What is that?"
"Legend has it that there's something that can filter dreams," Yin Xun said, "filtering out bad dreams and keeping the good ones."
Lu Qingjiu looked at Yin Xun, wondering why he suddenly mentioned this thing.
Yin Xun said, "What Bai Yuehu said about using spider webs to make a web should have the same effect as this."
Lu Qingjiu said, "You mean, keep the good souls and get rid of the bad souls?"
"Yes." Yin Xun said, "It just suddenly occurred to me that we actually have another saying here."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Hmm?"
Yin Xundao said, "It's about using this kind of net to move back and forth in front of the deceased's grave. It seems to be able to obtain the most profound part of the deceased's memory."
Lu Qingjiu was silent for a moment: "Why are you talking about this suddenly?"
Yin Xun looked down at the chicken in his hand and grinned, revealing the white fangs on his lips. He looked playful and cute, just like his usual self. He said, "Didn't you mention it? I suddenly remembered it."
Lu Qingjiu said "oh" and looked away.
The matter ended just like that. A few days later, Zhu Miaomiao called to tell Lu Qingjiu that the method Bai Yuehu suggested was very effective. The child's symptoms had been alleviated a lot, and the heel had fallen off. She also said that the child's parents were very grateful to them and gave them a big red envelope, which she would give to Lu Qingjiu when she came over.
Lu Qingjiu wanted to refuse, but then thought it would be okay to accept it. After all, it was Bai Yuehu who came up with the idea, so he could use the money to buy Bai Yuehu more meat.
But Lu Qingjiu always kept in mind what Yin Xun said that day. Although Lu Qingjiu believed in science, there were some things that could never be explained by science. Isn't the White Moon Fox an example?
As spring passed, the weather gradually warmed up. Lu Qingjiu found a time to drive his pickup truck to town to buy Bai Yuehu a rocking chair. After driving the pickup truck a few times, Lu Qingjiu had gotten a good feel for its operation. The car was quite good-tempered, albeit slow. Sometimes, it would drive itself without Lu Qingjiu even having to do anything. However, Yin Xun didn't like the car very much. As soon as he got in, he complained that his butt was itchy. Lu Qingjiu explained why his butt was itchy.
"How would I know?" Yin Xun said aggrievedly, "Maybe I'm allergic to your car too."
Lu Qingjiu was speechless.
But other than an itchy bottom, there weren't many drawbacks. It was a mountain road anyway, and the car wasn't going very fast. After Lu Qingjiu carried the rocking chair home, Bai Yuehu was very satisfied with it. He sat on it and refused to get off. He was practically glued to it all day except when eating. The funniest thing was that he was too lazy to even rock it. He would stare at Lu Qingjiu when he saw her passing by the front yard.
Lu Qingjiu was confused at first by the stare, and thought he was hungry, so he asked him if he wanted to eat something.
Bai Yuehu opened his mouth and whispered, "Shake it for me."
Lu Qingjiu: “…”
Finally, he was shocked by Bai Yuehu's laziness and could only walk to the chair and reach out to shake it twice. After this, Lu Qingjiu knew what Bai Yuehu's eyes meant. At first, he would need Bai Yuehu to glance at him twice, but later it developed into a habit of shaking Bai Yuehu's chair whenever he passed by the front yard without Bai Yuehu asking.
When the weather started to get hot, Lu Qingjiu set up grape vines in the backyard and planted a small patch of watermelons in the field. These things were all for his family to eat, so he didn't grow too many, so the project was not very big.
Although Zhu Miaomiao said that she would bring the person over as soon as possible, she was too busy with work and it took more than half a month before she told Lu Qingjiu that she had booked the tickets and was ready to bring the person over.
Lu Qingjiu asked about their arrival time and prepared to drive the pickup truck to pick them up.
"Zhang Chuyang said that if it's really useful, he'll give me 100,000 yuan as a reward." Zhu Miaomiao said, "I've given him your card number. I asked him to transfer the money directly to your card."
"So many?" Lu Qingjiu was a little surprised.
"It's not bad, you don't know the pain of baldness. If you could always have thick, black hair, I think people would be willing to do it for 200,000, not just 100,000 yuan," Zhu Miaomiao said. Their situation is the worst. Their hair condition is not suitable for hair transplantation, which means there's basically no hope. They either have to wear a hat or a wig. It's okay in the winter, but when summer comes...
“This is too much.” Lu Qingjiu still felt it was a bit expensive.
"If you think it's too much, just pay more tribute to the young lady in the well," Zhu Miaomiao said. "You eat, drink, defecate, and urinate for free, so how much can you earn from this kind of farming? Besides, this was Zhang Chuyang's own idea. Don't you know how much he's worth? It's just one month's salary."
Lu Qingjiu said, “Okay.”
"Also, keep it a little mysterious when the time comes." Zhu Miaomiao whispered, "Once the effect is seen on Zhang Chuyang, it will definitely have a great publicity effect..."
Lu Qingjiu thought about it and said okay.
He hadn't returned to Shuifu Village to make money, but one couldn't live on the slop of dew. At least with money, he could ensure Bai Yuehu had enough meat for every meal, so he wouldn't have to share vegetables with him. However, since Bai Yuehu moved in, their food expenses had skyrocketed. They had to eat meat and vegetables every day. Lu Qingjiu even planned to buy a lamb in a couple of days to eat some mutton.
Zhu Miaomiao was coming over the next day, but Lu Qingjiu was not in a hurry to go to bed. After Yin Xun left, he went up the mountain and picked some things he needed.
When he came back, he saw that the lights were on in the house. Bai Yuehu was still awake, but was sitting in the house eating fruit. When she saw him enter the house, she didn't say hello, but just gave him a lazy look.
"Are you still asleep?" Lu Qingjiu asked, hiding the black plastic bag in his hand behind his back.
"We can't go at night." Bai Yuehu suddenly spoke.
Lu Qingjiu was stunned.
"Going at night might attract bad things." Bai Yuehu said, "You should go at noon."
Lu Qingjiu knew that he had guessed what he wanted to do, so he smiled gently and said, "Okay, thank you for your reminder."
Bai Yuehu nodded, stood up and left.
Lu Qingjiu lowered his eyes and looked at the black plastic bag in his hand. Inside the bag was a ball of white silk-like material. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was a bag of spider webs.
