Excerpts from the novel——

Judge Dee rode into the black pine forest again.This time I left Qingchuan Town. The scenery and mood were completely different from when I came to Qingchuan Town the day before yesterday.

The hot afternoon sun sifted through the dense leaves and fell on the body. I felt a little bit of relaxation in my muscles and bones, and moved my blood vessels.At this time, his heart was filled with a sense of pride that he had accomplished a great job and retreated from the rapids. Fortunately, the jade beads had been strung on the wall and returned to Zhao. The conspiracy to frame the three princesses was finally thwarted by him.On this trip back to Puyang County, it is easy to talk to the ladies about the elegance and splendor of the Bishui Palace, the extraordinary beauty of the three princesses, the boundless blue waves and the beautiful scenery up and down the Daqing River, which will make them fascinated and guessing.At this time, for some reason, Di Gong suddenly thought of Zi Qian. Before leaving, Zi Qian took his gourd as a souvenir.She was smart, witty, capricious, and courageous. If she hadn't relied on her constant help in the past two or three days, how could I have solved this case?The third princess is similar in age to Zi Qian, but she is like a colorful bird in a cage, with rich clothes, royal food, and people to serve her.But he has no freedom, is alone, and has little ability to save himself when faced with danger. In fact, he is also a pitiful person.Zi Qian is just like a wild bird in the forest, flying and perching, free and happy.——While I was thinking, I suddenly saw an old green donkey emerging from behind a waning old pine tree in front of me. Mr. Calabash sat firmly on the donkey's back and looked at Mr. Dee carefully with his eyes.Two crutches were placed on his back, and a gourd was hung in front of his legs.

“Magistrate Di is still dressed like this, and the old man admires him very much.I have already guessed that the yellow silk will not draw away your soul.Hey, your gourd mile?”

“I gave the gourd to a woman in the inn.Mr. Calabash, I didn’t expect to see you again when I left Qingchuan Town. What a blessing.The gentleman is a great man, but he only hates that his subordinates are not well-off and cannot follow him. He always listens to elegant teachings.”

Mr. Calabash smiled and said: Didn’t I say that day that you and I still have a relationship?Today's trip is probably the same as going to the east and west, which is the same as going on business.However, don't be sentimental. You must know that everything in the world is predetermined, including gods, emperors, and beggars.If you can see through this level, you will enter the next realm and ascend to the next level.“

Judge Dee stroked his beard and smiled: "It is not impossible that everything in the world is destined, but everything does not have to have a cause and effect."The gentleman's words and actions must be something he has gone through somersaults and experienced many vicissitudes of life.”

Mr. Calabash said in shock: "I know Mai and Liu Ren at the same time, and I have seen through the old and decayed people."In fact, there is no need to hide it. The old man is General Ouyang who fought in the bloody battlefield twenty-five years ago.At that time, he was taken captive by foreign countries and the country thought he had died.Mobei was imprisoned for fifteen years before desperately escaping back to his homeland.From then on, he kept his name anonymous and wrote poems and records on his grave.Unexpectedly, it was not easy to escape the name, and he was bound by the promise, which led to false rumors. Hearing about it today, he was hired into the palace and became the master of the princess, princes and grandsons.My students and I are strict in teaching on weekdays, but fun and harmonious in our free time.Among the students, the third princess was the most intelligent. Every time she interpreted a classic, she spontaneously explained the essence and spoke it eloquently. She was often able to pick out Zheng and Ma's mistakes and pick out the teacher's flaws. Every time she made the old man very embarrassed, she loved and appreciated her.Today, the three princesses were raped and plotted against each other. The old man acted boldly and recommended you.As expected, I have lived up to the great trust. I am like a candlelight, pulling the three princesses out of the water and fire. I am here to express my gratitude.% said, bowing slightly on the donkey's back as a gift, his gray beard almost touched his gourd.

Duke Di hurriedly returned the gift with his hands, saying "It's a blessing".

Mr. Calabash untied his own gourd and handed it to Judge Di, saying: "It will be a lot of inconvenience for you to give your gourd away.Now that I'm calling the old man Mr. Gourd, if you don't mind, I might as well keep him as a souvenir.The beauty of this gourd lies in its ‘emptiness’.Don't think for a moment that this "emptiness" is nothingness and is of no use.《Nanhua Zhenjing》it is said that a chariot has hubs, which are used for chariots; a room has a roof, which is used for housing.The reason why it has "use" is that it means "empty"."

“The way to be a human being is the same. To regard the glory and wealth as floating clouds is also based on this "empty" universe.Only when your eyes are empty and your heart is big can you forget both honor and disgrace.The world is busy, only competing for one benefit; the world is busy, only running for a name.The old man has seen too much, and those who strive for gain will eventually die for it; those who rush to become famous are like sleeping with a tiger in their arms or running away with a snake on their sleeves, which is even more dangerous.It's called Gongqi.How can we monopolize it for a long time?I'm just afraid that bad luck is coming, but like that private salt bag, I wish I could get away as soon as possible.Once you get to that point, it may be too late to realize the word "empty".——The old man who gave you this gourd today is also giving you this one-word mantra. Remember, remember.”

Judge Dee thanked him and went to tie the gourd behind the saddle. When he raised his head, Mr. Gourd had disappeared. He felt confused for a moment and suddenly heard the horse's hooves rushing behind him.

“Master, make it easier for us to chase...”

Di Gong looked back and saw that it was his personal assistants Qiao Tai and Ma Rong.——It turned out that they had killed the wild boar that was endangering them that night in Qilizhuang. The owner of the village, Grand Duke Chu, was overjoyed and held a feast to celebrate, so Yan stayed.——It was agreed at that time that Qi Di Gong would be met in Qingchuan Town two days later and they would return to Puyang County together.

Qiao Tai said: “We rushed to Qingchuan Town and asked, only to find out that the master had just left.Thinking that he had entered the forest, he chased after him without stopping.”

Ma Rong said: "We ambushed the big wild boar in the mountain field outside Qilizhuang and peeled off six hundred kilograms of meat."Sir, did you catch the big red carp from Daqingchuan River?“

Mr. Di stroked his beard and smiled slightly: He didn't catch the carp, but he caught a gourd, which was very useful.”

Qiao Tai and Ma Rong said, "We are thirsty. Is there tea in the gourd?"“

Judge Dee said: ”No, it's empty inside.%
