A family of six went there with a cat, but only five came back.
As soon as they got home, Dalong sighed and said he missed his tail. Lu Cijiu thought to himself, usually Dalong would actively respond to any requests for tail play, flattering the little prince with all his praise. It was really hard for him to adapt after not seeing him for less than two days.
He patted the dragon's head and said, "The tail will be back in a few days."
"I know, Jiujiu." Dalong nodded seriously, and became happy again. "Jiujiu, how about we eat chicken? I want the tail. Let's eat chicken."
Do you want the tail or the chicken? Lu Cijiu looked skeptical, but agreed immediately.
We had chicken soup hotpot on the first day we got home.
The only seasonal vegetables left at home were radishes and greens from the backyard garden, and there were chicken racks in the freezer. I made a pot of broth with the meat slices, dumplings, rice noodles, radishes, and greens. I just dipped them in it and it was light, delicious, and convenient.
The key is convenience.
However, the big chinchilla cubs didn't feel depressed for too long, because Tail would make video calls with his brothers, sisters and brothers every day to tell them what he had seen that day and tell them stories about the Monkey King.
The call went through. Lu Cijiu asked Sanzhi and Weiba to chat while he went to do his work. Returning to the main room, he found Dalong furious. Even the kittens were unhappy. "What's wrong?"
"Someone is bullying Tail." said Dalong.
The kitten was unhappy, "Help brother, jiujiu."
Dudu was so angry that he jumped up and down on the coffee table, making chirping sounds with his little mouth.
Lu Cijiu was stunned at first. Mr. Sang liked Wei Ba so much, how could anyone bully Wei Ba? Then he thought of the Sang family's wealth and wealth, and the conflicts among the rich fighting over the family property filled his mind. He became anxious. Seeing Wei Ba covering his face in the iPad video, his heart sank. "Wei Ba, did someone hit you? Are you hurt?"
Tail held his forehead with his little hands and put them down when he heard the chirping sound.
The face was clean, white, tender and beautiful, without a single scratch.
Lu Cijiu breathed a sigh of relief. There was no fight. Then he asked in a gentle voice, "What happened?"
"The older brothers said bad things about Dad, so I called them bad guys." Tail was very unhappy. He sat on the sofa and pouted and said, "Dad is so good, why do you say bad things about him?"
Lu Cijiu didn't know what happened to the Sang family. He thought for a moment and said, "What do you think of Jiujiu?"
"Okay, Jiojiu is the best." Tail moved closer to the camera.
The other three also rushed into Lu Cijiu's arms, saying that Jiujiu was the best. Lu Cijiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I think I'm really great too, but even so, there are still people who say bad things about me. They say bad things about me, but they're wrong. How about Tail Dad?"
"Hello, Uncle Big Tail." Dalong answered first.
The kitten nodded its head and jumped in front of the camera.
Tail is of course the one who praises his father. "My dad is so nice. He buys us clothes, snacks, and red envelopes. He also buys us the Monkey King and the Lion..."
It's about shadow puppetry and dragon and lion dances.
The cub's disappointment and sulking came and went quickly, and soon he was happy again. After chatting for a while, Sang Jinghong came over, and Wei Ba crisply called Daddy. Then Sang Jinghong came into the camera, patted Wei Ba's shoulder, and said, "The mysterious gift is back, do you want to go and see it?"
"Yes!" Tail jumped up and down, "I want it, I want it." Then he happily blew kisses to his brothers and sisters, "Goodbye, Dalong Dudu kitten, bye, jiujiu~"
A black shadow flashed by, following closely behind as Xiao Hei went upstairs.
After getting rid of the tail, Sang Jinghong said, "It was some younger people in the family who were used as pawns and deliberately said some things to test my attitude. But it has been resolved."
I talked about the rules for illegitimate children in the Sang family.
Lu Cijiu: “?”
Hu Qingqing has disappeared and hasn't returned yet. Could it be that Sang Jinghong manipulated the situation and said they were married first? It seems same-sex marriage is legal in the United States.
"I said the tail was my own." Sang Jinghong said lightly.
He couldn't let Wei Ba be labeled an illegitimate child, nor would he preemptively issue a marriage certificate for him and Qing Qing. Wei Ba was his child anyway. If they had the guts, they would have come to him and asked him how he had given birth.
They wouldn't dare to do that.
Lu Cijiu:……!!!
Mr. Sang is awesome! He's my idol. No wonder he's been able to build a huge business. It's his broad mind and courage. Amazing!
With Sang Jinghong's words, Lu Cijiu felt that Wei Ba would not suffer any grievances. If he suffered grievances, it was for his father. After saying a few words that Wei Ba was protecting his father and might be unhappy, Sang Jinghong said that he would talk to Wei Ba and ended the call.
"Chiu chiu, was the tail born from Big Tail? No wonder it looks like that." Dalong said.
The kitten was confused and said slowly, "My brother said that his father hasn't come back yet."
It was jumping around with the sounds of beep, chirp, chirp.
"Right, what should we do then?" Dalong thought for two seconds, then sighed and said confidently, "Tabi is the son of Dabi and his father who hasn't come back yet."
Lu Cijiu: ...That’s very true.
The two older brothers took Dudu out to play and walk the bird.
Two days later, Cheng Ge and Xiao Hong returned, again carrying bags and bags of things. Xiao Hong found Gong Xi Chao, and the two demons had a conversation on the roof. When Xiao Hong first found Gong Xi Chao, her expression was very heroic, and she looked so bleak and tragic that Lu Cijiu was quite worried.
He glanced at Cheng Ge, and Cheng Ge's expression didn't look unusual, so it shouldn't be a life-threatening matter.
After a while, Gong Xichao came down, hiding his pride, and said calmly, "He came to me to ask for a backdoor to get into the Administration."
Lu Cijiu: ...He is a demon to begin with, and he took the initiative to recruit you, and you are still showing off.
On the 12th, the shelter began to bustle. Gong Xichao had returned to work, and Xiaohong was also clocking in daily. The guests who arrived were all VIP customers from last year: Lin Zhenguo and his family, Wu Gao and his son, Dou Qingdian and his brother, and Su Wanhao's family of three. Su Wanhao had rushed to buy this year's VIP card.
There is also Mr. Cheng, the president of Hai City Chamber of Commerce, who has agreed to be our guest.
In short, there are guests every day.
Lin Zhenguo and Wu Gao's families arrived on the same day. As soon as they entered, they directed their son to carry in the fruits, milk, meat, and seafood. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were philanthropists visiting the children in the rural poverty alleviation shelter.
"Master Lu, Happy New Year! Why haven't you seen Tail yet?" Lin Zhenguo greeted him familiarly. After all, his nephew was Master Lu's classmate, so compared to Old Wu, their families were certainly closer.
Wu Gao took out red envelopes from his pocket and gave them to the three little ones, saying cheerfully, "Is the tail missing? It's okay to put it away." He added, "It's not much, it's a good time to celebrate the New Year."
Lu Cijiu didn't block the way and nodded. The kids happily accepted the red envelopes.
Lin Zhenguo was a step late and glanced at Old Wu. "Okay," he said, "walk ahead of him."
The two are also good friends, especially after they got in touch with Master Lu, they go to Wu Gao's hot spring resort to soak in the hot springs and play golf when they have nothing to do. Anyway, they cultivate their character and their relationship is better than before - they used to chat at cocktail parties.
Lin Zhenguo quickly took out red envelopes and gave them to the kids. Lu Cijiu invited everyone to sit in the living room.
"Last year, Master Lu gave me a peach blossom charm, and within a month I got a boyfriend." Lin Wan smiled happily.
Lin Zhenguo was very unhappy and said, "Dating a celebrity is not a good thing in my opinion."
"Dad!!!" Lin Wan said, "Don't be too prejudiced against celebrities. He's a very nice guy."
Wu Gao said with a smile: "Yeah, Old Lin, don't be so old-fashioned. Being a star is good. You're handsome and have a high income. It's good. You and your niece are both beautiful and wealthy."
Lin Zhenguo: ...
Lu Cijiu was trying to hold back his laughter.
Aunt Yan said, "Wanwan is still young and in no rush to get married. I think the boy is quite handsome. He can be in love with Wanwan, so there's no need to worry too much."
Lin Xuan had been silent the entire time. When he heard his mother say that Lin Wan was still young, he immediately said, "Mom, you're too hypocritical. I'm only twenty-four, and you said I'm not young at twenty-six. Lin Wan is twenty-seven, which means she's almost thirty. How can she still be young?"
"Your mother is right. Wanwan is not in a hurry. She's only 27. And how did you talk to your sister?" Lin Zhenguo criticized his son. "Something has been wrong since you came back from Liucheng. Hurry up and calm down. You're not a child anymore. I won't say much to Master Lu during the New Year."
Lin Xuan: ...He shouldn't have said anything. That's not enough.
Lin Wan was eating some fruit nearby and said, "Did you hear me? Call me sister from now on."
"The children are grown up now and need to save face. Let's not talk about this anymore." Aunt Yan smiled and turned to look at Master Lu, saying warmly and cordially, "Master Lu, do you have any peach blossom talismans left? I want to ask for one for Xuanxuan as well."
Lin Xuan: He said that he must be dragged here today!
"No need, Mom."
"What do you mean by no need? Why not? You're already 27 or 28 years old. If you don't know how to negotiate, Master Lu will help you."
Lu Cijiu: There is a fee for helping people find love.
Just kidding.
He still had some peach blossom talismans in stock, so he immediately gave one to Aunt Yan. The Lin family had applied for a VIP renewal card, and since they were wealthy, they didn't mind giving it six months in advance in case the position was taken away.
Lin Zhenguo had heard that Master Lu's fame had spread to Kyoto, where many high-ranking monks and Taoist priests gave him face. Once the gate to this courtyard was closed, no one could get in. If you wanted to come in, you had to make an appointment by phone, and only acquaintances could get in.
Completed the card.
Lin Wan pulled out her phone and said, "Master Lu, can you help me see what my boyfriend is like? I think he's a good and reliable person, but my dad keeps slandering him, and it's making me lose confidence."
"Since we've already discussed it, we still have to trust each other." Lu Cijiu said, "Looking at the face, it's best to bring someone with you."
People are three-dimensional.
Aunt Yan hadn't really thought about the idea of physiognomy. She said, "It's not that we underestimate each other, it's mainly because Wanwan looks big and has no brains. I'm afraid she'll be deceived. Master, can you help me take a look? Take a look first."
"Then I'll take a look." Lu Cijiu nodded in agreement.
Lin Wan and Su Qianjin are different types, but both were brought up in pampered relationships. Lin Wan is addicted to two-dimensional anime, novels, and extra-story stories. She has little experience in relationships and is easily deceived.
The photo is a casual photo, looks familiar, no beauty filters, taken with the original camera. She's about 23 or 24, wearing a sports outfit, just finished playing basketball, and has a headband on. She looks very sunny.
"He has clear eyes and must be a person who loves life and is positive." Lu Cijiu said simply.
Lin Wan: "Yes, yes, that's right. Mom and Dad, you should believe it now. He is really a good person. He likes me, not someone else."
It was New Year's Day and they were outside, with Old Wu drinking tea and watching a play next to them. Lin Zhenguo nodded after hearing what Master Lu said, "Okay, we won't talk about it anymore, let's just talk about love."
Facial features are not unchanging. But it is hard to say about this atmosphere.
The Lin family's problem was solved, and Wu Gao renewed his membership card. He told the story that he and his son Sanxing went to the countryside to teach and distribute supplies before the New Year. The village was in the mountains, and there was heavy rain. There was a landslide in one place, which was very dangerous. Fortunately, everyone was safe.
"...Sansheng has really grown up now. He knows what hardship is. Only after experiencing hardship can he know how to cherish life." Wu Gao really thinks highly of his son.
It was also a profound experience. Father and son ate and slept together for a month. Their hometown family didn't have much space, and after more than a decade of unfamiliarity, their relationship blossomed in that month. Wu Gao was very satisfied, saying, "After he finishes the college entrance exam next year, he'll say he wants to visit Tibet and Gansu. I think that's great."
Whether it's traveling or doing good deeds, just be on the road.
After chatting for a while, the two families left. When Lu was saying goodbye to the old people, he gave Wu Sansheng a red envelope. The other person's father gave him four children, but he only gave one.
"Take it, take it. This red envelope from Master Lu is great and auspicious." Wu Gao said to his son.
Lin Wan was watching Master Lu next to him.
Lu Cijiu: ...We are of the same generation, and you are a few years older than me. It’s not a good idea to give you a red envelope, right?
But Lin Wan's face was full of "Why don't I have it? I want it too!" She didn't mind, so Lu Cijiu immediately gave both siblings red envelopes. Lin Zhenguo and Aunt Yan even said, "How dare you ask for it at such a young age?" "Master Lu, you've spent so much money. Take it. Maybe we'll get married this year, and your dad and I will have grandchildren next year."
Lu Cijiu: ...He doesn’t know that his red envelope can also help him get married and have children.
After seeing off the two families, the next day was the day for the two brothers, Douqing and Indigo, who were also showered with gifts. Douqing and Indigo's room was right here, and the two brothers stayed overnight. Douqing and Indigo even wanted to help his brother plant vegetables, but unfortunately, they said their radishes had been eaten...
Hei Wuchang also arrived that night.
Everyone was really rushing together. Dou Qinglan was so happy to see Hei Wuchang that he shouted, "Hey, Brother Hei, long time no see, how are you doing lately?"
The elder brother next to him, Dou Qingdian: ...
Dou Qingdian couldn't see anything and thought he had seen a ghost again. Dou Qinglan happily introduced his brother to Hei Wuchang, and Dou Qingdian narrowed his eyes and saw a figure in the empty place.
Dressed in black, Dou Qingdian frowned.
Hei Wuchang nodded, as a gesture of respect to Dou Qinglan, and said to Dou Qingdian, "Hei Wuchang."
“…” Bean green indigo.
Dou Qinglan whispered: "Brother, Big Brother Hei is here to greet you, don't be afraid, he won't finish calling your name, you answer and he will take your soul away, I know it's okay after the test."
Dou Qingdian had a complicated expression.
Lu Cijiu thought that he might be wondering why he had such a silly brother like Dou Qinglan.
Black Impermanence came for serious business. The Nine-Headed Prison Hound had been found.
"That's great? Where did you find it?" Lu Cijiu felt that the bug in the underworld might not be as serious as they thought. Nothing strange happened during this period.
Hei Wuchang said: "Ze City. The nine-headed prison dog turned into a cub, a yellow earth dog." When he rushed over, the yellow dog was wandering around in a mess and was almost beaten to death.
Lu Bijiu: ...
"Not only is space changing, but time is also changing." Gong Xichao said thoughtfully.
Lu Cijiu felt that he had been too optimistic. The spatial position changed, and the time of the Nine-Headed Prison Dog changed, returning to its cub body. If it was an isolated case, it would be fine, but he was afraid that -
"The world will be in chaos." Gong Xichao knew what Lu Cijiu was thinking and said it directly.
Hei Wuchang didn't say anything.
"Have you found Shura and Succubus?"
Hei Wuchang shook his head this time, "It's not ruled out that the two are the same as the Nine-Headed Prison Dog."
These two killer weapons have already escaped. If they become like the nine-headed prison dogs, it would actually be a good thing. All they need to do is catch them back. But this is just hope.
Hei Wuchang came this time to exchange the information they had obtained. Gong Xichao was the head of the Special Department Management Bureau, so of course the underworld and the world of the living monsters had joined forces.
After finishing his business, Hei Wuchang left. Dou Qinglan was still active and said: "Brother Hei, are you leaving? Don't you want to stay for dinner? Then I'll take you there."
It was really delivered to the door.
Dou Qingdang's face was black, and he scolded his brother when he came back. He didn't know much about the underworld, but he knew that it was the Black Impermanence. What good could ordinary people do if they came into contact with the Black Impermanence?
"Don't try to get on the pole anymore. Are you going to get killed?"
"Brother, you're actually giving yourself away!" Dou Qinglan changed the subject in surprise. Hei Wuchang was a public official, not a demon, so how could he harm anyone? Besides, if you don't understand, you have no right to speak. You can tell a lot about someone by the music they listen to.
The same goes for the ghost messenger.
They are close friends.
On the third day, the Dou brothers left early in the morning, and Su Wanhao's family came at noon. Miss Su looked more mature, but her eyes were bright with vitality and a smile, not as extreme as before.
When Su Wanhao mentioned the VIP card, he had to ask around before he heard about it, and he was afraid that if he came too late, there would be no seat left.
"There's still room." Lu Cijiu said.
Su Wanhao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said that he would do it, thanking Master Lu.
Even before the business opened this year, they were already collecting VIP cards. Su Wanhao paid the money, added Master Lu on WeChat, and discovered that Master Lu had changed his note to VIP number four.
Is that all???
But it wasn't over yet. Lu Cijiu had initially thought the VIP program was a bit shabby, but at the time, he had no money and didn't care about formalities; he just wanted to get things done. Now that Su Wanhao saw it that way, he was really thinking about whether he should make a fancy membership card.
"Master Lu is truly a master, unique in his style." Su Wanhao changed his tone and praised him a few times.
Lu Cijiu was just thinking about the gold-plated carved membership card, but he was immediately stunned by the compliments.
His aesthetic taste has really been influenced by Gong Xichao, and he thinks that the golden and gorgeous things are beautiful.
The two met at an auction, and later the Zhus became closer. The conversation naturally turned to the Zhus, and Su Wanhao said, "During the Chinese New Year, I heard that their child was seriously ill and had been in the hospital. I heard that he didn't have much time left."
He sighed again.
The boy was pitiful, but Zhenzhen who jumped off the building was even more pitiful. The only evildoers were the couple.
The couple received suspended sentences and posted a substantial bond, and have not yet been detained. The news surrounding Zhenzhen's death had a significant impact at the time, exposing the couple to complete innocence. Their company's stock plummeted, nearly forcing them to bankruptcy. Furthermore, after Zhenzhen's death, their son's health deteriorated, forcing him to be admitted to the intensive care unit, where each day felt like a death sentence.
If you ask around in Haishi, you'll probably know some of the gossip about the couple.
"I heard that the little boy won't survive the New Year." Su Wanhao said.
There are less than three days left until the official end of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment, but they eventually changed the subject and chatted about something else. Su Wanhao took his wife and daughter to live in the city, and the three of them planned to stay in Yuncheng for two more days.
"Don't go to high places." Lu Cijiu looked at Mrs. Su and said.
Su Wanhao knew that Master Lu might have seen something dangerous, so he quickly agreed. The hotel they were staying in was changed to a low-rise building after they returned. They had originally planned to hike the mountain the next day, but instead went to the hot springs resort to soak in the hot springs.
At noon, they arrived at the hot spring resort. After the family of three had lunch, Su Qianjin saw the news and exclaimed in surprise, "Master Lu is truly amazing! Mom, look, on the mountain we were originally planning to climb, a naughty kid threw a water bottle down the mountain and hit someone. The person twisted their ankle and fell down. Luckily, a tourist behind them saved them, and they're not seriously injured..."
"It must have been so painful to roll down so many stairs." Mrs. Su frowned as she watched the video.
Su Wanhao was also frightened, afraid that Master Lu would see this and say, "It's okay, we are lucky to have made it here."
"Naughty kids are so annoying. I want to see the subsequent compensation. If a child is naughty, the parents' wallets should bleed heavily." Su Qianjin said.
The president of the Hai City Chamber of Commerce had something urgent to do, so the visit was postponed for two days. The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the day when the New Year officially ends.
People in the north eat Yuanxiao, while people in the south eat Tangyuan.
Cheng Ge studied and worked in Shanghai, and his eating habits were more like those of the south.
The children ate sweet glutinous rice dumplings, one at a time. Hu Sanniang, who had returned home in glory, also came back that day, transformed into a human form and dressed in the style of a young lady from the Republic of China.
"My clothes were custom-made. I waited for half a year and the delivery was delayed by half a month. But they changed it to express delivery, which is okay." Hu Sanniang walked in slowly with a small bag on her shoulder.
When the kids saw it, they happily called her auntie.
"It's been a while since we last met. I've missed you all so much. I'm here to give you some gifts. These are Hu Siniang's nails, Hu Shiliu's fox fur, and Hu Sanba's armpit hair..."
Lu Bijiu:???
Forget the front part, what about the armpit hair?
Seeing the boss glaring at her, Hu Sanniang explained, "Every part of our fox spirits' bodies is a treasure. This Hu Sanba's armpit hair is a treasure. Once it's set on fire, the stench will fill the air and destroy any illusions."
This is like hurting the enemy by a thousand while hurting yourself by eight hundred.
The kids accepted the gift from their aunt and put it in a small box. The fifteenth day passed, and Weiba video-called to say he'd be back soon. Everyone missed Weiba so much, so the kids gave Weiba a portion of the gifts they'd received during this period, cleaned them, and placed them in a small basket at the head of Weiba's bed.
Waiting for the tail to come back.
The tail of the 17th is back. A few days ago, I received a large number of seafood gifts. Lu Cijiu did not move, so I went to the city and Gong Xichao early in the morning to buy chickens, and consulted Yan Junbo, the chicken expert.
There are century-old shops and secret recipe chickens that are passed down by word of mouth.
Lu Cijiu bought a lot of things, including Gong Xichao's instant teleportation. Those who are not afraid of the cold will not taste good. They just finished buying and went back on time, and Tail also arrived home.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, Dalong, Kitty, Dudu, I'm here to gain weight."
The sound of the tail is full of joy.
The door was open. Lu Cijiu came out of the kitchen with a smile on his face and said, "Just right, the chicken is still hot—"
Then I was stunned.
A fluffy, red-skinned fox was lying in the yard.
The little fox is pretty and cute. It lies on its stomach with its butt sticking out and eight tails spread out behind it.
"Chirp, I've grown eight tails now!!!"
Lu Cijiu: I want to suck——
Gong Xichao said indifferently: "You can only suck me."
Lu Bijiu: ...
Is it a golden eagle?
