Fantasy FarmCh66.1 - Giant beast

translator: baumkuchen

Jiang Buhuan had been staying in Lu Qingjiu’s home for close to a month now. From the very beginning, his manager had been madly calling him and urging him to come back. Later on, he started trying to ask questions to figure out his location and come and get him himself. In the end, he finally gave up. His mental journey to get to that point, too was correspondingly complex. If not for him repeatedly emphasizing that he was fine, his manager might have chosen to call the police long ago. 0z2UxH

“If I leave, I’ll die!” Jiang Buhuan told his manager this, but he thought that Jiang Buhuan was being threatened by someone, and promised that he would find more security for Jiang Buhuan to ensure his safety.

“I already said, the one who wants to kill me isn’t human. Ah, forget it, even if I tell you you wouldn’t understand.” Jiang Buhuan knew that his matter really sounded far too absurd. If not for himself having personally experienced it, even he might have felt like he had a mental problem.

“If it’s not a human who wants to kill you, what is it?” His manager was about to be driven crazy by Jiang Buhuan. His star had disappeared for so many days now, delaying his entire itinerary. He could still cover it up now, but if this were to continue for another few days, he wouldn’t be able to. Letting the fans know that Jiang Buhuan disappeared, how big of a fuss would that stir up?

“I don’t know what it is either,” Jiang Buhuan said, “I can’t talk any longer, I have to go cook now.” 3l96tC

Hearing this, his manager’s mouth twitched. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Jiang Buhuan decisively hang up the phone. Looking at the phone, he let out a long sigh. To tell the truth, if not for him having been able to confirm that Jiang Buhuan was in alright condition through the video call, he would have started to doubt if Jiang Buhuan had been kidnapped and imprisoned by his fans.

After hanging up, Jiang Buhuan went to the kitchen to help Lu Qingjiu with his cooking. He’d been here for more than a few days already, and the longer he stayed here, the longer he felt like these people weren’t ordinary.

Even though Lu Qingjiu had told him to not go to the inner courtyard, Jiang Buhuan had been unable to hold back his curiosity, and had snuck off to the inner courtyard to take a look around, but he only saw a well so deep he couldn’t see its bottom and several beehives, which had the sound of buzzing coming from inside. Jiang Buhuan hadn’t dared to get too close, only peeking over from the side, but who knew that as soon as he stretched his neck over, something that looked a little like a bee popped out from inside, shouting, “What are you looking at? Are you a pervert, watching us so furtively?”

Jiang Buhuan was shouted at into a stupor. He stood in place, dazed for a few seconds, before trying to explain, “No…… I’m not, I was just curious……”

“What what what? What are you curious about?” The bee said huffily, “I’m sleeping here with my wife, and you’re peeking around, aren’t you afraid of growing a sty, huh?”  

Jiang Buhuan, “Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

Even though Jiang Buhuan, who had been standing next to him, saw all of this, he could only pretend to not have seen anything, deathly afraid that if he exposed him Yin Xun’s next chop of his knife would be aimed at him—— He was an ordinary person, after all.

Although living here was very safe, he couldn’t stay here for a long time. Jiang Buhuan had no intentions of retiring from the entertainment industry, and besides, this was still someone else’s home, he still had some self-consciousness…… 

So after Lu Qingjiu sent off Zhu Miaomiao, who was leaving to go back to work, Jiang Buhuan found Lu Qingjiu and expressed his gratitude towards him, and handed Lu Qingjiu a cheque for a sum of money that was seven digits, euphemistically asking when he would be able to safely leave.

Even though Jiang Buhuan was a celebrity, in this house, he’d been very diligent, accompanying Yin Xun to clean the courtyard and wash and cut vegetables everyday, and had very little presence. Lu Qingjiu had almost forgotten about him. Now, seeing his pitiful appearance, Lu Qingjiu actually found it a little funny. He politely refused Jiang Buhuan’s cheque and said that he would help him ask. SwqKY5

“Ge, you should just take this money,” Jiang Buhuan painstakingly persuaded, “If you don’t take it, I won’t feel at ease.”

Lu Qingjiu said, “No need, we’re not lacking money right now.”

Jiang Buhuan, “You can use it to buy the boss more meat…… “

Lu Qingjiu said, “He can’t eat that much meat, there’s really no need. Besides, I’m just helping you ask, whether it can be resolved is another story.” If he took the money, this situation would change in tone. j mzlJ

Jiang Buhuan was still very uneasy, but seeing that Lu Qingjiu was refusing to take the money, there was nothing he could do. He could only pray in his heart that this situation would be able to be resolved sooner, and that he would be able to leave Shuifu village. Even though life in this old house was very warm, the atmosphere of the village was incredibly strange, making him feel like he had entered the set of a horror film.

The next day, Lu Qingjiu found an opportunity to bring up Jiang Buhuan’s matter with Bai Yuehu. Of course, he said it rather skillfully, just saying, “Yuehu, Jiang Buhuan’s been bumming meals off us in our house for so long now, when can he leave?”

Bai Yuehu had originally been eating the green dates Lu Qingjiu had bought back from town, his mouth loudly chewing the crunchy dates, but when he heard these words, he instantly stopped. Even his expression darkened. He asked, “How much has he eaten already?”

Lu Qingjiu held back a smile. “Hasn’t he been eating every meal together with us?” ruJwQq

Bai Yuehu frowned. He said, “Someone wants to kill him in Shuifu village.”

“Why?” Lu Qingjiu was taken aback. This was his first time hearing Bai Yuehu say something like this. “Why do they have to kill Jiang Buhuan in Shuifu village?”

Bai Yuehu said, “Shuifu village is a boundary. In the words of you humans, it’s the boundary between myths and reality. There were originally a lot of boundaries like this, but as the separation between the two words stretched on, the boundaries gradually started merging. Now, only in Shuifu village can you pass between the two worlds.”

Lu Qingjiu instantly understood. “Is there a problem with Jiang Buhuan’s bloodline?” Z3zSQE

“En,” Bai Yuehu said, “His family were also once guardians of the boundary, but now, they’ve already completely integrated into the human world. This kind of bloodline will become thinner and thinner, until it disappears completely. Jiang Buhuan is probably the last remaining offspring of his family.”

Thinking about it, Lu Qingjiu and Jiang Buhuan had similar backgrounds. He was the last of the Lu family, and Jiang Buhuan was the last of the Jiang family. It was just that Jiang Buhuan seemed to have no knowledge of such matters whatsoever, having completely left this circle.

“Why do they have to have Jiang Buhuan die in Shuifu village?” Lu Qingjiu found this matter a little scary.

“If a guardian dies in Shuifu village, it’ll corrupt the boundary,” Bai Yuehu said, “This kind of corruption has minimal impacts on humans, but it has a huge impact on us.” 0UFlNf

This was already Lu Qingjiu’s second time hearing this term. “Corruption?”

Bai Yuehu, “Yes, corruption.”

Lu Qingjiu asked, “What do you mean?”

Bai Yuehu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. After deliberating for a moment, he explained it like this, “It’s an impact on the spirit.” Even though this kind of explanation was still a little vague, but Lu Qingjiu pretty much understood what it meant. He said, “So it’s like how if a kid sees too many bad things, it’s easy for them to be led astray into becoming bad kids, right?” z1vWZ2

Bai Yuehu, “……You can think about it that way.”

Lu Qingjiu said, “Then what can we do about Jiang Buhuan? Are we going to let him live with us like this forever?”

Bai Yuehu said, unhesitating, “That can’t happen.”

Clearly, he already deeply hated the little celebrity who was living in his home and eating and drinking for free. But he couldn’t chase Jiang Buhuan out, for once he left this place, Jiang Buhuan could be expected to be immediately killed on the path out of Shuifu village. Aah8Wy

“I’ll get this dealt with as soon as possible.” Bai Yuehu picked up a green date, placed the entire thing in his mouth, and chewed it into several pieces in loud crunches before swallowing it down cleanly.

Lu Qingjiu nodded. “Be careful, don’t get hurt.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Bai Yuehu said, “I will.”

Only then did Lu Qingjiu’s heart settle, knowing that they had a plan. kThzd2
