Chapter Thirty-Six: Three Ruans in Shijie Village
Since their wedding on February 2nd, Zhu Biao and Hu Qing'e have been newlyweds every day, and they have been inseparable for ten months.
On this day, after the couple said goodbye to Lu Junyi, Chai Jin and his party left their posts and returned to their small courtyard, they heard a loud eagle cry above their heads.
Then I saw a black spot on the sky, swooping down towards the small courtyard, and landing steadily on the thick locust tree branch. There are sixty-three feather insects, and the most handsome ones are Haidongqing, autumn yellow, and ripple yellow.
, the three-year dragon, the six-year phoenix with jade claws, the six-year phoenix with jade claws is the most precious; the black and white one in front of you is a three-year dragon, although it is not as good as the six-year phoenix, it is already a rare divine object.
Zhu Biao asked his maid Hong Yi to take some raw beef and hang it on a locust tree branch. When Hai Dongqing was pecking at it, he took off the bamboo tube tied to his feet.
Taking out the note from the bamboo tube, Zhu Biao glanced at it and handed it to Hu Qing'e beside him. There was a faint feeling in his heart, and he secretly thought: The main plot is finally about to begin.
Hu Qing'e opened the note and saw what was written on it: Last night, a red-haired man entered Dongxi Village at night. This morning Wu Yong left Chao Gaizhuang and headed for Shijie Village.
...
The mountains are lush and verdant, with mulberry trees and clouds piled in the green. The flowing water surrounds the isolated village, and there are a few sparse bamboo poles along the paths. Thatched eaves are next to the stream, and ancient trees form a forest. Wine bottles hang high outside the fence, and fishing boats are leisurely cabled in the willow shade.
At dusk at sunset, a middle-aged man with a turban on his eyebrows, a linen wide shirt with a soap collar and a brown belt around his waist. He has beautiful eyebrows, a white face and a long beard, and is dressed like a scholar. He appears at the dock of Shijie Village.
superior.
The scholar got off the boat and walked into Shijie Village with familiarity. He turned left and right along a path and came to the courtyard gate of several thatched houses connected on three sides. The scholar shouted towards the courtyard through the fence.
He asked, "Is Brother Ruan at home?"
Hearing the sound in the hut, a strong man wearing a torn turban, old clothes, and bare feet appeared. This man could see the person, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "No wonder I heard this today."
The magpies were chirping, but what kind of wind brought the professor here?"
This scholar is Wu Yong, who is known as Zhi Duoxing in the world. This strong man is Ruan Xiaoer, Lidi Taisui who lives by fishing in Shijie Village. There are also two brothers who are called Short-lived Erlang - Ruan Xiaoer.
Fifth, Living Yama - Ruan Xiaoqi, these three brothers are highly capable and have first-rate water skills. They are called the three heroes of the Ruan family in Shijie Village.
Wu Yong smiled slightly and said: "The young man is going to have a banquet, so I came here to find your three brothers and get a dozen big golden carps."
Ruan Xiaoer heard this and said cheerfully: "There are several hotels across the lake. Let's go to the lake first to find Xiaowu and Xiaoqi, and then have a few glasses of wine with the professor."
The two came to the shore of Shijie Lake, and Ruan Xiaoer unloaded a small boat. They saw the wormwood pole in Ruan Xiaoer's hand stirring several times under the water, and the small boat sailed away from the shore smoothly and smoothly.
When Wu Yong saw this, he only sighed with emotion: "Second brother's ability to sail a boat is really amazing to me."
When Ruan Xiaoer heard this, he sighed and said: "Not to mention this small boat, even the three of us brothers can drive it, but it's of no use, other than making a living by fishing all day long.
"
Wu Yong was secretly happy when he heard his uneasiness about the current situation in his words. This second brother was the most stable, even he was like this. Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi must be even more so, and they were just using tricks.
Just listen to Wu Yong continue to lure: "There is nothing wrong with making a living by fishing. Although it is a bit more miserable, it is better than being free and at ease."
"But where did this freedom come from? To be honest with you, Professor, now we in Shijie Village are almost at a loss to open the pot." Ruan Xiaoer said with a bitter smile.
"Why is this? When Xiaosheng was teaching here a few years ago, I saw that the people in the village were living a good life. I don't know how many big fish are hidden in this huge pool of water. Why can't the pot be opened?" Wu Yongyin asked knowingly.
.
"Now the big fish are all in Liangshan Lake. Our Shijie Lake is too small to hold big fish. It will be difficult for the professor to catch a big fish weighing more than ten kilograms this time."
"Liangshanbo and Shijie Lake are separated by water and connected by many rivers and channels. Why not go there to catch some big fish? But the government prohibits catching fish?"
Ruan Xiaoer was about to answer when he saw two boats rowing out of the reed swamp. There was a man standing on each boat. One of them had hands like iron rods, eyes like copper bells, wearing a torn turban, and a man on his temples.
A pomegranate flower, wearing an old cloth collar, with a green leopard exposed on the chest, it is the short-lived Erlang - Ruan Xiaowu.
One person has a jaundiced face, exquisite eyes, a yellowish beard on the cheek, and black spots on his body. He wears a black hat to protect himself from the sun, a chess piece cloth vest, and a raw cloth skirt tied around his waist.
Living Yama - Ruan Xiaoqi.
Just listen to Ruan Xiaowu say: "Even the Zhao Guan family can't ban fishing even if they dare to file a lawsuit. But now this Liangshan Lake was occupied by a group of strongmen last year. The leader is called Wang Lun, a scholar in white; the second one is called Wang Lun, a scholar in white.
Touch Tian Du Qian; the third one is called Yunli Jingang Song Wan, and below there is the dry land Hulu Zhugui. This group of people is entrenched in Liangshan Po, and no outsiders are allowed to enter for fishing. They only deprive the people of our Shijie Village of food, clothing and rice.
.”
Ruan Xiaoqi also echoed: "Those guys weighed gold and silver, wore silk and brocade in the same way, ate wine in jars, and ate meat in large chunks, but they only caused our Shijie village to lose its livelihood! The three of us brothers have nothing to do with it.
Although he is very capable, there is nothing he can do about it. To be honest with the professor, my three brothers were also thinking about joining Liangshan earlier, but later they heard that Wang Lun was narrow-minded, and even Handi Hulu was still just a leader and could not hold the top position.
But my three brothers don’t want to suffer that birdiness anymore.”
When Wu Yong heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He only said: The great thing has been accomplished. But he only said: "If you don't say this, everyone is here now. Let's go to the hotel to have a drink first."
The three Ruan brothers nodded when they heard the words, and then watched the three of them rowing, and the three boats were rowing together. After rowing for a while, they arrived in front of a water pavilion hotel.
The four of them exchanged glasses and exchanged greetings for more than half an hour. After five dishes and three drinks, Wu Yong saw that the time was ripe, and with a change of thought in his mind, he said: "Second brother, fifth brother, seventh brother, now
Times are bad and life is difficult, have you ever thought about changing your life?"
When the three brothers heard this, they looked at each other. Ruan Xiaoer was the first to speak: "How about another way to live?"
Wu Yong smiled slightly and said: "Do you know Chao Baozheng from Dongxi Village in Yuncheng County?"
"How come my three brothers don't know the name of Chao Gai, the King of Pagodas? Although we are separated by a hundred miles, our fate is shallow and we have never met each other." Ruan Xiaowu said loudly.
Wu Yong looked around the hotel and saw no one wandering around. He lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Sheng has been on good terms with Chao Baozheng in the past few years. He often mentions the names of your three brothers. Now he has a big fortune and a special education."
I’m here to invite you to come and talk.”
When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he jumped up, patted his chest and said: "We three brothers are so hot-blooded that they only sell to people who know the goods. Then King Chao Tianwang thinks highly of us three brothers, so he goes into water and fire. If you go there, you will definitely live up to his love."
When Wu Yong saw Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu, the two brothers also nodded and said: "The fifteenth day of June after the third month is the birthday of the traitor Cai Jing. His son-in-law, Liang Zhongshu of Daming Mansion, looted one hundred thousand coins." The anointing of the people was used as a birthday plan, and it was to be sent to Bianliang, Tokyo, in just ten months. Now a good man named Red-haired Ghost - Liu Tangte came to tell him that Chao Baozheng wanted to gather a few good men and go to a secluded place in the mountain to take the medicine. With this and other ill-gotten gains, we all want to live happily for the rest of our lives. I wonder what the three of you think?"
"There's something to be said for this. The three brothers certainly went together." Ruan Xiaoer said, patting the case.
Ruan Xiaoqi jumped up and said: "I have fulfilled my hope today and it is scratching my itch. Professor, when are you going?"
"Please ask the second brother to go back and tell me if we can leave overnight?" Wu Yong responded.
The three brothers had nothing to say. They immediately offered Wu Yong a bowl of wine, and the four of them got up and left the hotel. Three speedboats rowed across the lake, only returning to Shijie Village. After drinking tea, they packed up and headed towards Dongxi Village. go.
