Chapter 39: The Three Stooges


The complexion of the farm house and palace is blue, the chief official is not good, and the farm house is not successful. Judging from Song Xi's Tianzhai Palace, her family should be involved in lawsuits recently, and may even go bankrupt as a result.

"Did you see anything?" Song Xi asked me.

"Your family may go bankrupt." I said seriously.

“Why?” Song Xi was a little surprised.

“Because of the lawsuit.” I said.

"My family didn't provoke anyone, so how could there be a lawsuit?" Song Xi looked at me with doubtful eyes and asked, "Are you serious, or are you kidding me?"

"Look Does this sound like a joke?" I asked.

Song Xi scratched his head with his hand, frowned, and asked with confusion on his face: "Can you tell where my family's lawsuit came from?"< br>
“It’s not you who caused it.” I said to Song Xi with great certainty.

"Is there any way to resolve it?" Song Xi asked me.

"I haven't found the cause of the incident, so where can I find a solution?" I said.

"Can you come to my house?" Song Xi invited me.

“Today’s divination is Yang hexagram, and we can only see women. Even if we go to your house, we can’t see anything.”

Judging from Song Xi’s parents’ palace, she The trouble in the family should be caused by her father. I can't look at men today, and naturally I can't look at Song Xi's father, so it's useless to go.

"Do you want to see my dad?" Song Xi asked me.

"Yeah!" I nodded and responded.

"I will call you tomorrow morning. If the divination you get is Yin, I will bring my father directly to your Xinsheng Pavilion." Song Xi said.

"This is the best." I said.

Song Xi drove away in her Prado. For some reason, I suddenly felt a little uneasy. This matter with Song Xi's family must be related to the fighting in their circle. I am a commoner, and to put it bluntly, no matter which side it is, I can't afford to offend.

"Brother Junior High School, why are you looking so sad?" came a familiar voice that I hadn't heard for a long time.

It's Yi Ba! That guy is finally back.

"What are you doing? Why do you look like a beggar again?" I asked.

“When you are in the world, you can’t help yourself. What if you turn yourself into a beggar and get picked up by thieves? I don’t have much money on me. If it is stolen by thieves, what will happen to me? Are you alive? "

Yi Ba is still as crooked as ever. But after seeing him come back safely, my originally uneasy heart became somewhat more steady than before.

"What's wrong with you? Are you looking sad?" Yi Ba brought the topic back.

"Song Xi came here just now, and I could tell from her face that her family would get into lawsuits and probably go bankrupt," I said.

"You took care of this?" Yi Ba asked me.

"Yes!" I nodded and said, "Originally, after I saw it, I didn't have to say anything, but I finally spoke."

"It's about officialdom, you Afraid of getting into trouble? "Yi Ba really knows me, he can tell what I'm thinking at a glance.

"The people cannot compete with the officials. This has been the case since ancient times." I said.

"Are you tired from thinking so much? Just have a clear conscience." Yi Ba put his green cloth bag on the Eight Immortals table and said: "I just came back, no matter what, you should help me catch the wind and wash away the dust! ”

“You’ve all turned into a beggar. It's time to take a shower." I pointed to the bathroom and said, "Go and take a shower first! Get cleaned up and change into clean clothes, and then we'll go eat."

Yi. Ba went to take a bath, and the roar of a motor came from outside the door. I walked out and took a look and found that the familiar Z4 was driving up.

"Do you miss me? You drove all the way to see me? If anything happens, just make a phone call!" I joked with Bai Mengting with a playful smile.

“I’m here to catch an adulterer!” Bai Mengting glared at me coldly, then listened with her ears pricked up and asked, “There is the sound of water in the bathroom, which woman is taking a bath in it?”< br>


"There is no woman. It's Yi Ba who's back. He's as dirty as a beggar. I asked him to wash it first." I pointed to the green cloth pocket on the Eight Immortals table and explained.

"Why don't you take a bath with him?" Bai Mengting asked this, which really made people speechless.

“I’m not as good as Long Yang.” I said.

"Brother in the first year of junior high school, do you have any underpants? Lend me a pair!"

Did that guy Yi Ba not know that Bai Mengting was here or something? At such a critical time, he actually made such a request to me.

Fortunately, I bought two boxes of new pants a few days ago and haven’t worn them yet. I went to the closet and took one out, then passed it to Yi Ba through the crack in the door.

“It’s not as good as Long Yang. We all wear the same pair of pants.” Bai Mengting clearly saw that the one I got was a new one, so she deliberately said that to me.

“I haven’t worn it yet, so what do you have?” I stared at Bai Mengting with evil eyes and said, “If I want to take a shower at your house without any pants, you can give me a pair that has been worn. , I have no objection."

"Disgusting! You bastard! I won't let you take a bath in my house!" Bai Mengting immediately gave me a look of disgust.

Yi Ba came out and changed into clean Taoist robes. He no longer looked like a beggar, at least he could be regarded as a serious Taoist priest.

"How are things going?" Bai Mengting asked Yi Ba.

"I have tried my best." Yi Ba spread his hands and said, "The person Bai Master asked me to invite is really unable to invite him. You can't blame me for this."

" What to do about Chu Chu?" Bai Mengting asked.

"Master Bai is so powerful, she can't just open her mouth and say it without doing anything!" Yi Ba wittily passed the blame to Master Bai.

"You mean, you don't care about Chu Chu, right?" Bai Mengting asked.

"I will take care of this within the scope of my ability. If it is beyond my ability, even if I have the intention, I can't take care of it!" Yi Ba paused and said, "If Master Bai asks me to take charge of it, I will take care of it." I brought him here, but if he doesn’t come, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Bai Mengting frowned, said I got it, and then drove away in her Z4.

“Are you going back to invite your master?” I asked Yi Ba.

"Master Bai asked me to invite my uncle, Taoist Xuanqing. I knew before I went that my uncle would definitely not come, but I still went and made a trip. It was worthy of their visit. Home." I said.

“Do Taoist Xuanqing and Master Bai have any history?” I asked.

"How can I dare to ask about my uncle's emotional life?" Yi Ba chuckled and said, "Since Mr. Bai knows my master, there is no need to doubt his ability! Regarding Bai Chuchu, as long as If she is willing to take action, it will definitely be done."

"What if she doesn't want to take action?" I asked.

"Master Bai is also named Bai after all. She is not willing to take action in the affairs of the Bai family. Why are we two outsiders trying to get involved?" What Yi Ba said makes sense.

"Are we really going to ignore Bai Chuchu's life and death?" I asked.

"If Mr. Bai doesn't care, whether Bai Chuchu can be saved or not, it doesn't matter whether you or I say it." Yi Ba paused and said: "We have to go to Old Man Kong about this matter, he There is a chance. As long as he is willing to help, we three cobblers can barely stand up to one Zhuge Liang.”

Yi Ba said this very sincerely, and this was probably the most effective move he could think of.

Old man Kong is a good man, and I believe in his character. As long as he can help, if we go to him, he should agree.

“Without further delay, how about we go now?” I said.

“Okay!” Yi Ba nodded and said, “Let’s go get some stewed vegetables, buy two bottles of wine, and go to Old Man Kong’s house to eat, drink and chat. Wouldn’t it be nice?”< br>
This is a good suggestion. Fengyang County’s braised goose is famous for its deliciousness. Yi Ba and I went together to buy a braised goose, some pig ears, pig tails, tripe and so on, and finally bought two bottles of Lao Baigan.

After buying all the things, we found a broken three-wheeler and headed towards Wuqing Mountain.

When we arrived, it happened to be evening, and the small chimney of the small hut was emitting green smoke.

"We came just in time. Old Man Kong should be making a fire to cook." I said.

"Old Man Kong! Old Man Kong!"

Yi Ba didn't think his voice was harsh, so he just shouted with his loud voice.

Old Man Kong came out wearing an apron and asked, "Have you two eaten? If not, just have a light meal here. I got a pheasant today and it is burning in the pot!"

Pheasant? Just hearing these two words makes my mouth water. You know, the taste of pheasant is dozens of times more delicious than native chicken! The last time I ate pheasant was when Master was here, and he cooked it himself.

Master’s roasted chicken is a masterpiece, and this roasted pheasant is naturally even better! Since Master left, I have never had such delicious roast chicken.

When Yi Ba, a familiar person, arrived at Old Man Kong’s house, he felt like he was at his own home. Before Old Man Kong could speak, he acted like a master and took out all the dishes and chopsticks, and put all the stewed vegetables we had brought on the plates.

Seeing that Yi Ba was so self-conscious, Old Man Kong left us alone. He had to keep an eye on the pot of pheasant burning in the pot.

These days, more and more people are eating game, but there are fewer and fewer pheasants. It is not easy to get one like this. It would be such a waste if it burns in a while.

As soon as you walk into the kitchen, you will be greeted by a mouth-watering aroma. When I smell this fragrance, I always feel a little familiar.

“Have you ever smelled this?” Old Man Kong asked me.

"Yes!" I nodded and said, "The taste of your roasted pheasant is somewhat similar to the one cooked by my master." "His skill of roasting pheasant was learned from me. . But your master is not good at cooking, so he can only cook it moderately, barely able to eat it.”
