Chapter 43

Chen Chou almost got stuck, and quickly stretched his neck to swallow the chicken bones. He then forced a smile and said, "This... the more friends, the better, how can you alienate others just because you have made one more? And... it's not about love, you can only be the same one, and you can get a positive relationship when you get married home. Friends... are open and broad."

Brother Zhang, I hope you can understand that although you and I are friends, other things are really impossible.

Chen Chou didn't know if Zhang Ping understood the hint of his last two sentences, so he wanted to peek at his expression. When he raised his eyes, he met Zhang Ping's eyes again. His whole body trembled and he didn't dare to look again. He quickly pretended to look at the food in a blink of an eye.

"Haha~~ This braised chicken tastes really good, I'll add another one!"

Zhang Ping said again: "If the new friend is incompatible with me and is not the same person, will he choose one of the two and move away from the other?"

"How could it be?" Chen Chou blurted out, then wanted to bite off his tongue, and coughed and said seriously, "Being friends should make friends with a hundred people. As my friends, it may not necessarily be a friendship between the two. For example, Brother Zhang, I don't recognize a few of your friends."

Zhang Ping said again: "I have no friends except you."

Chen Chou burst into tears in his sweat: "Like Lord Lan and Shangshu Tao, I don't recognize me, Chen Chou, at all. Ah... Brother Zhang, I said this is completely unintentional, just to give an example." I really couldn't imagine others giving an example, "Many people have gotten along well with me, and you don't recognize me, either."

Chen Chou glanced secretly again and found that Zhang Ping's eyes were actually falling somewhere else, as if he was thinking.

He didn't know what he had just said that touched or touched Zhang Ping, but he quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"For example... Brother Zhang, I have no other intention to use these two examples." I really didn't expect others to give an example, "For example, Shangshu Tao and Lord Lan are both your teachers, Brother Zhang, and these two are not the same person. Brother Zhang, would you ignore Lord Lan's kindness because of Lord Tao, and would you ignore Lord Tao's teachings because of Lord Lan?"

Zhang Ping nodded, still staring at the roast chicken on the plate, and no longer looked at Chen Chou: "Very good."

Chen Chou breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Brother Zhang, where did you buy this chicken? It's really good. It's better than the chef of Master Shao."

Zhang Ping raised his eyelids, and his eyes suddenly stuck to his face: "Then, after getting along with you, he will be indifferent but interact with others, and he does not want to see you and others. The reason for this mentality is not friendship."

Mom...Mom...

Zhang Ping's two eyes seemed to have two thousand-year-old wells, and he couldn't see the bottom of it: "It's because of other thoughts and other feelings."

Chen Chou closed his eyes: "Brother Zhang, you will always be my Chen Chou's friend. It's just..."

With a creaking sound of the door, Zhang Ping suddenly stood up and snatched away.

Chen Chou looked at the wide open door for a while and drank the wine in his glass in one sip. The servant reached into his head with his sleeve: "Young Master Chen, it's cold outside, do you have to close the door?"

Chen Cong sighed: "No need." He stood up, "There are all withdrawn on the table."

The servant flashed in, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Chen Chou walking out of the door.

The sky was very gloomy and it seemed to be raining. Chen Chou did not take an umbrella and walked straight to the street. The pedestrians on the road saw that the weather was not good, so many people walked in a hurry, and street vendors were also closing stalls or setting up a canopy.

A few children at the entrance of the alley were playing tricks and clapping their hands and singing: "There is no need to plant thorns; it comes out in spring and blooms in summer, and the old graves on the ridges of the fields are blooming. In autumn, the leaves are yellow, and winter is cut to make firewood; after February 2 next year, it will be there again in spring..."

A Taoist with a messy beard held up a flagpole with a broken iron mouth and passed by the alley. The child chased him and started to cheer: "The old man with a bull's nose has a long beard, shakes the bell and drills into the alley, and steals someone's diapers as clothes!" After singing, he ran away. After running for two steps, he saw that the old man ignored it, and then coaxed him to follow him.

When Chen Chong saw the Taoist, his eyes lit up and he quickly caught up with him: "Master Taoist..."

The Taoist stopped and turned around, stroked his beard and smiled, "Donor, I'm lucky to have a good life, but I met again."

Chen Chou said: "I am indeed destined to do it." He took out a few money from his sleeve, "Master Taoist, can you give me another divination?"

The Taoist leaned the flagpole against the wall, went to the corridor of the shop next to him, and shook the dust with his cuffs. He first took out a piece of cloth from the box and spread it on the steps, then took out a turtle shell, took out six of the money given by Chen Chou, put it in the turtle shell, shook it for a few minutes, and then the money came out of the turtle shell, three rulers, and Lei Feng Heng Gua.

Chen Chou shook.

The Taoist said: "This is the hexagram of fish coming to hit the net, and it means chance. If you sit upright, you will have fate. The donor's divination day before yesterday, he got a Kan to be the water hexagram. The old Taoist remembered that the donor said that he wanted to find someone and ask about the old fate. If he still seeks the same thing, the day before yesterday was looking for the moon in the water, and the lot is empty, but there was a turning point in the past two days, and what he thought would come naturally."

Chen Chou sighed, "It's true that it's coming... I'm not asking for the same thing..."

The Taoist picked up his beard: "Oh? The donor might as well tell the old Taoist the previous one. The hexagram has many intentions, or there are other explanations."

Chen Chou said with a bitter face: "It seems that there is no explanation. Alas, what I want...that is not my own business. It is a friend I know..."

The Taoist said: "Oh..."

Chen Chou hesitated for a moment: "That friend, he has a very good friend... Although they have known each other for less than a year... they often eat and live together... and are very kind, but that friend suddenly has my friend these two days..."

The Taoist smiled and said, "Distance? It's okay. Looking at this hexagram, the two people have a strong affection, but it's a sign of getting closer and closer."

Chen Chou hissed and waved his hand: "Stop, let's thank you Taoist priest." He stumbled and turned around.

Deng Xu looked at Chen Chou's back as if he was thinking about it.

That screen is so good? It’s really a must forbidden to look good.

Several children clapped their hands and jumped up again. Deng Xu smiled and took out a bag of malt sugar from his sleeve: "Come on, the old Taoist will teach you how to recite a song? The little magpies, big tail, squatting on the tree head, chirping, the child who is eager to study is a good baby..."

Several children stuck out their tongues at him: "Oh, the song of the old bull's nose is so ugly, it's so terrible."

Deng Xu smiled and said, "Who did you learn your songs from? Or read them again to the old Taoist, and the old Taoist thinks how bad it is. There is candy here."

The little boy spat: "My mother said that the ones who gave the candy on the street are all old kidnappers." He threw a small stone at Deng Xu, "The old bull's nose is the old kidnapper!" He ran away.

Deng Xu put away the paper bag and couldn't help but sigh, not expecting that the dolls at the moment were so energetic, so he took the flagpole and continued to walk slowly. Seeing another corner in front of him, a few children were singing while jumping rope. Just as they were about to get closer, a few yamen runners suddenly appeared in the corner of the street: "Wu'n't the wild road, don't move in the same place!"

Deng Xu's eyes closed, and the yamen runners rushed up, and the chains in his hand were hunched down at Deng Xu: "Take it back to the yamen!"

Zhang Ping changed his cloth robe and was about to go to the streets. He heard a noise at the main entrance of the county government and the people rushed in chaos. Master Li hurried out: "Mr. Zhang is going out? Master Shao is about to go to the hall to ask about the case, but we will go to the hall to listen."

Zhang Ping went back to the room to change his clothes, and ran into Chen Chou shaking, as if he had just returned. Chen Chou looked up and saw Zhang Ping's expression changed immediately.

Zhang Ping knew that Chen Chou must have had a misunderstanding with him, but he didn't even think about where the misunderstanding came out, so he was not convenient to ask. He went to the wing room to change his clothes first. Chen Chou left without saying anything and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Ping changed his clothes and rushed to the main hall. When he saw the person being pulled by the yamen runners, he paused.

Deng Xusen glanced at him, Zhang Ping lowered his head, and asked the minor official next to him: "What's the reason?"

The little official shook his head: "I don't know much."

Zhang Ping asked again: "Who reported the case and who ordered the arrest?"

The little official shook his head again: "I just got caught, but I didn't know what happened."

Zhang Ping stopped talking, stood there in the hall, and Magistrate Shao was dressed up and went to the hall, and sat under the plaque hanging high with a mirror: "Why don't the criminals in the hall kneel? Let's report the name!"

Deng Xuduan stood in the hall: "I only kneel down at the heavens and kneel down, not to be a minor official. The case has not yet been tried, so I don't know why I was arrested. Why did Lord Shao call me the criminal? Since it has been a case, I have become the defendant, where is the plaintiff?"

Magistrate Shao slapped the awkward tree: "Bold! You are so wild, you are so beautiful and fooling around the children in this county for several days. When the security in the county is a decoration, you can't tell that you are a kidnapper? Today, on the street, you are trying to use ecstasy bait to lure a kidnapper. I think this kind of thing is more than a day or two, one year or two years. If you have a kidnapping, you will definitely sell it. I will have accomplices. I will confess it quickly!"

The yamen runner pulled Deng Xu and wanted to kneel down. Deng Xu was originally from the army and knew some skills, but he was still calm. Several yamen runners couldn't press him down. They pushed him angrily and pulled off his fake beard by accident.

Magistrate Shao was shocked and angry and said, "Even his beard is fake, and he said he is not a kidnapper? Accept it quickly to avoid the pain of flesh and blood!"
