Chapter 41: Bad Luck Carries With You
I hurriedly came to Master and asked, "Master, according to what Tao Qiliang said, that Tao Shangqian is indeed a hypocrite, not a good person, and ......."
"No!" The master shook his head, and without waiting for Tao Qiliang to answer his question, he said to me: "If it is really a lonely life, it is indeed the six relatives who do not touch, and the dipping is more than the decline of the fortune road, or maybe Mr. Tao takes care of his family and deliberately alienates this Tao Qiliang, and before the matter is clarified, we can't make a conclusion, and now we don't know Tao Qiliang's birth date, and there is no way to find the mystery of his life experience, which makes it a little difficult for the teacher......
Tao Qiliang immediately nodded and said: "That's what he said, by the way, about my life experience, Uncle Sun, who sells pork, seems to know, I remember Uncle Sun told me that he used to be the housekeeper of my mother's side, but now that the country has been liberated, there are no slave housekeepers, but Uncle Sun finally came to Ceramic Town, he is the person who watched my family go all the way from wealth to poverty, maybe he knows my birthday." ”
"Oh?" The master thought for a moment, and immediately said: "I didn't expect that the loyal servant of decades ago was the key to solving this mystery, well, Qiliang, can you invite Uncle Sun over now, I will ask him face to face." ”
Tao Qiliang scratched the back of his head and said, "But what do I say? It's been so many years, by the way, after talking about it for a long time, I still don't know what your name is? I thought you didn't have a place to stay and go to my house to spend the night, but now it seems that it is not at all. ”
The master smiled and said, "You can call me Mr. Yang, as for what my name is, it doesn't matter, his name is Ergou, let Ergou go with you, and buy some food by the way." ”
When I heard Master's words, I suddenly realized that Master deliberately did not say his name, perhaps to help Tao Qiliang in private, without attracting Tao Shangqian's attention. Alas, things have come to this point, and the master is still favoring Tao Shangqian, in his heart, is it really so difficult to change the things he identified? Even if the master now admits that he misjudged Tao Shangqian, no one will say that he is not, but the master just wants to save face and suffer the crime, and he has to clear Tao Shangqian's innocence and prove that Tao Shangqian is not a bad person.
Tao Qiliang stood up and nodded to me with a smile: "I'll call you Brother Ergou, Brother Ergou, I'll take you to Uncle Sun." Tao Qiliang was willing to listen to Master's words like this, perhaps he also accumulated resentment towards Tao Shangqian, he didn't want Master to help him change his fate, but wanted Master to see Tao Shangqian's true face, but he didn't expect Master and Tao Qiliang to compete.
I smiled and said, "Seven taels, let's go, and I'll buy some bun fritters on the street for you to eat later, which will be better than the food you begged for." ”
We walked out of the courtyard, and Tao Qi corrected as he walked: "I have also eaten steamed bun fritters, but I still think that the begging food is more fragrant, hehe!" ”
"Alas!" I shook my head helplessly, and said: "You are really a natural beggar, at least two of the three sentences are showing off how good you are at begging, seven taels, don't you understand that it is something that only inferior people do?" That is to say, it is a person who has no income, and a person who is not motivated will be willing to degenerate to beg for a living, and now people can basically make a living even if they work hard to cultivate farmland or do small business. Alas, I also know that it is useless to talk to you about this, you are now bent on begging. ”
Tao Qiliang smiled and said: "Brother Ergou, I don't think there is anything shameful about begging, it's not that I'm unmotivated, I'm very hardworking, I go out to beg very early every morning, except for coming back from dinner, I am also busy until ......late at night."
"Stop!" I hurriedly stretched out my hand to stop Tao Qiliang from talking, rolled my eyes, and said, "You are a fart hard-working, isn't it the same as begging for food?" ”
"Hey......
Tao Qiliang grinned, his hands uncomfortably tugging at his clothes, it seemed that he didn't take his broken bowl when he went out this time, I really couldn't stand it, so I had to turn my head, this guy is really hopeless, he couldn't keep so much money last night, I'm afraid that even if the master wants to help him change his life, he can't get rid of his habit of begging, how can there be such a person in the world who is willing to beg? It's weird!
But my eyes suddenly lit up, took out two yuan and handed it to Tao Qiliang, and said: "Seven taels, I just don't believe that bad luck will happen if you take the money, you take these two yuan, and we will buy some fritters and soy milk later and go back for dinner, you can rest assured, I will follow you, once I find something wrong, I will remind you in time." ”
Tao Qiliang hesitated for a long time, seeing that I was so persistent, he had to nod and say: "Okay, Brother Ergou, you have to watch me closely, otherwise I may not know what injuries I will suffer!" ”
"Don't worry, it's on me!" I waved my hand impatiently, and continued, "You go ahead, I can see everything around you, it's safer." I just don't believe in this evil! ”
Tao Qiliang smiled bitterly, so he had to walk in front according to my request, and I stared at him closely, and after a while, we came to the street, and saw the delicious food sold on both sides of the road, as well as those fragrant meals, I was about to flow out, and I couldn't help but look to the side. But I knew I still had to keep an eye on Tao Qiliang, but not far ahead was the place where fried dough sticks and buns were sold, and I hurriedly looked at the small shed that had been erected above, and there was no sign of slipping, and there were no stones on the ground that tripped people, well, everything looked so normal.
At this moment, I couldn't help but smell the smell of wine wafting from the wine shop opposite, and couldn't help swallowing my saliva, but before I could walk over, I suddenly heard Tao Qiliang's screams. Frightened, I hurriedly turned around, rushed to Tao Qiliang's side with an arrow step, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?!" ”
At this time, I saw Tao Qiliang grinning in pain, holding his right arm with his left hand, looking down, he saw that there were still a few fritters scattered on the ground in front of him, and the paper wrapped in the fritters was also cracked. W-that's nothing? Why did Tao Qiliang scream like this? But when I saw the big blisters scalding out of Tao Qiliang's arms, I realized that these fritters had just been fished out of the pot, and the paper of the fritters leaked hot oil underneath, and it went directly to Tao Qiliang's arms!
I immediately shouted to the owner of the fried fritters, "How can you wrap the fried dough sticks that have just come out of the pot and give them to him?" And I don't even dry the oil! ”
The boss was stunned by Tao Qiliang before, but after seeing me, he hurriedly nodded and apologized, and said that he would compensate us for double, and said that the boss was stunned before he walked away with the fritters and buns. At this time, Tao Qiliang turned his head to me and smiled bitterly: "Brother Ergou, now you believe it, right?" As long as I have a penny in my hand, disaster will surely happen. ”
Looking at the blisters scalded by the hot oil, I suddenly felt a little sorry for Tao Qiliang, it was my curiosity that prompted Tao Qiliang to help me verify my bad luck, and now it's okay, the blisters are all out. It must have hurt a lot, and if Master knew about it, he wouldn't have spared me. Alas, it's all my fault!
I said to Tao Qiliang apologetically: "Qiliang, I'm sorry, it was my curiosity that made you ...... just now Now I know, you really can't have money on you......"
Tao Qiliang hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's good if the water blisters go down, what is this, compared to my previous injury, it's just a piece of cake." I'm basically used to it, and besides, there are so many fritters to eat just by scalding it, Brother Ergou, I think it's worth it, hehe! ”
The more I heard Tao Qiliang say this, the more I felt sorry in my heart, and immediately nodded heavily: "Well, if you go back at night, you eat more, which can be regarded as my compensation to you." ”
At this moment, it was already evening, and when I followed Tao Qiliang to Uncle Sun, who sold pork, I saw that he was already groping for the stall to close. Seeing Tao Qiliang, Uncle Sun suddenly smiled and asked, "Qiliang is here?" I have a lot of meat left over today, so I'll give you a piece and cook it when you go home in the evening! As he spoke, Uncle Sun took out a piece of pork belly from the baggage, then pierced a hole in it with a sharp knife tip, and then strung it with hemp rope and handed it to Tao Qiliang.
I secretly said in my heart that this Uncle Sun is really a kind old man, Tao Qiliang has become like this, and he still takes care of Tao Qiliang so much. Tao Qiliang hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Uncle Sun, you see that we already have a lot to eat tonight, and you have to support your family in business, how can I keep letting you give alms to me." ”
Uncle Sun smiled: "Don't say this kind of thing, I know that you walk around my pork stall from a distance every time, I'm afraid that I will bring you pork to eat, I understand your kindness, but it's okay if I don't have a good life, but you are young...... Alas, take it, by the way, who is this? ”
Seeing Uncle Sun looking at me, I immediately hugged my fists and saluted, and said: "Hello Uncle Sun, I am a footwalker who travels the world with my master, my name is Ergou, this time we want to help Tao Qiliang change the current embarrassing fate, but my master wants Qiliang's birthday eight characters, otherwise I can't help him, Qi Liang said that you know his family very well, and you must know Qi Liang's birth eight characters, so we want to find you to talk about it." ”
"Really?" Uncle Sun excitedly stepped forward and grabbed my hand, and said in a slightly choked voice: "Can you really help Qiliang's family change their bad luck?" Alas, I didn't expect that I would have waited for this day...... Okay, I'll clean up and go with you right away, Qiliang's birthday, I know, and I don't know a lot of things about Qiliang, I know, I just hope that there will be a master to help Qiliang, now, I can be regarded as looking forward to it......"
