Chapter 21 The Three Heroes Return to Liangshan

There is the so-called "green willow shade like water, lake lotus flowers into a painting." ”

To say that the scenery along the shore of Shijie Lake is still very good, willow trees, lotus flowers reflect each other, with four or five flocks of water birds, sparkling and flickering waves, constitute a picture that is the most favorite of those scholars and wanderers.

As an era in history known for its literary style, it can be seen from those restaurants along the shores of Shijie Lake at this moment that the romance of the Song Dynasty is not casually said. But it's a pity that the poems made by these scholars and talents here can't even be listened to by the tavern owner and the bartender, either it's sour and unbearable, or the preface doesn't match the afterword, which makes people really speechless.

"Brother Wen, you see that the weather is bright and cloudless today, it is really a suitable day for you and me to go out of the lake to play, why don't you and I get a boat and go to this lake for a swim?"

"This... This one...... Brother Chen, are you sure you're going to visit the lake today? The scholar surnamed Wen pointed to the surface of the lake with some uncertainty and looked at his partner.

The scholar surnamed Chen hurriedly turned around and saw a man on the lake, half naked, speeding towards the shore by treading water. Not far behind the man, a figure appeared and disappeared, closely following the man, who looked back from time to time and laughed wildly.

The scholar surnamed Chen looked at it for a while, stayed for a long time, and raised his hand tremblingly, "So rude, so barbaric, doesn't he know that destroying such a beautiful scenery is the greatest sin!" ”

When several of his friends heard this, they immediately shouted in response, as if this person had done the next earth-shattering thing, and the scholar surnamed Chen, seeing that his partner was so powerful and so face-giving, he borrowed the donkey from the slope and happily sat down and continued to drink and sing with his companion.

The shopkeeper of this tavern also looked up at the lake, and then at a few happy scholars, sighed in his mouth, shook his way and continued to settle his accounts.

Let's take our eyes off the few sour scholars in the tavern and ignore them again. Cast his eyes on the two men who were opening the lake.

Ruan Xiaoqi as a water dragon, he has already made a great reputation within a radius of 100 miles at a young age, and today he has planted two games in Junchen's hands, which makes him a little difficult to accept for a while when he has been rarely matched by opponents and arrogant, but fortunately, he is open-minded by nature, and soon called Junchen a brother and brother, so when Junchen proposed to invite him to a drink, he readily agreed.

But his competitive spirit and childlike spirit are still stronger, and when he doesn't get out of the water, he begins to unconsciously compare the speed in the water with Junchen. This is not Junchen's strong point, to say that when he joined the army in his previous life, the most training was endurance training in the water, but this long-distance sprint, although his speed is not too slow, but compared with the water masters of this era, he is really not enough to see.

I saw Xiao Qi stepping on the waves all the way, going straight to the pavilion, and he was about to hit the edge of the pavilion. Junchen watched from behind, knowing that he would be fine, but he couldn't help but shout, "Be careful!" When this little seven saw Junchen calling him, his heart was even more refreshing, so he had the heart to show his hand and ask Junchen to take a look.

is a good Ruan Xiaoqi, and he didn't slow down by half a minute when he arrived at the pavilion. I saw him underwater, his feet were stacked, his left foot stepped on his right foot, and his right leg kicked hard, and by the buoyancy of this moment underwater, the whole person pulled up, and he heard a "bang", broke out of the water, jumped into the pavilion in the air, and saw that Junchen who was still in the water couldn't help but applaud.

Xiao Qi, who was standing on the edge of the pavilion, was still proud, and when he saw that Junchen also applauded him, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. When Junchen also swam here, he hurriedly bent down and stretched out his hand to pull Junchen up from the water.

Junchen was pulled up by Xiao Qi, and said with a calm smile: "Qilang has good skills, he is worthy of being a dragon on the water, and Junchen is willing to lose." ”

Xiao Qi is also a bright and upright man, seeing Junchen like this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't dare, Brother Junchen laughed, Xiao Qi has only lived by the water since he was a child, and it's okay to be in this water, if you really want to leave this water, that's it." With that, he laughed embarrassedly. To say that men are really a very strange animal, some people are born with the right eyes, and some people can not fight and do not know each other. Junchen and Xiao Qi belong to the latter, Junchen's martial arts, character, and demeanor make Xiao Qi can't help but be impressed, and a feeling of "knowing heroes and valuing heroes" rises.

Junchen patted Xiao Qi's shoulder, "Good brother, let's go, let's have a drink." So saying, just wait to jump into the water.

Xiao Qi hurriedly grabbed Junchen, "Brother, don't do this, take care of me." Xiao Qi smiled at Junchen, walked to the side, used all his strength, and sparked his throat towards the tavern on the shore, "Little Liuzi, Xiao Liuzi, I'll give you a squeak for the seventh master while you're still panting." ”

This bartender, whom Xiao Qi called Xiao Liuzi, was napping in the corner of the tavern. If you want to say that there are so many scholars and talents in this tavern, there will always be no less wine and food, but the Song Dynasty is a wonder, whether it is a brothel, or a tavern, these so-called talents and scholars come and go, it is so two pots of wine, two dishes, one sitting is a day, you can shout loudly there, but others are not allowed to make a sound, if you want to say that the poetry is right, you have to do it well, but they are doing a sour one, a vulgar is better than one, compared to the "limerick" of later generations, it is not as good as those shopkeepers, The bartenders were all angry, but they had nowhere to go, so they could only sigh at the counter and nap in the corner. When Xiao Qi shouted loudly, it happened that this little Liuzi Chunmeng was doing well, and he was woken up by such a roar, and he was furious, and he didn't care if there was someone in this tavern, but he just had a voice, "This is a thing that doesn't have long eyes screaming here." ”

When he got the hint from the shopkeeper, he also sobered up a little, hurriedly put on a smiling face, ran to the lake, and said with a smile on Ruan Xiaoqi's face: "Ouch, it turned out to be the seventh master, the sixth son of Shicai is dreaming, I didn't pay attention to the seventh master, you don't care about the villain, just ......."

Ruan Xiaoqi was in a good mood at this time, and he didn't bother to bother with him, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, there is no need to talk about this nonsense." Today, the seventh master I want to treat you, fresh fruits, good dried fruit candied fruits, pick up four plates, five or six good dishes, cut ten catties of cooked mutton, and then tell your shopkeeper to bring ten catties of good wine to him. ”

Xiao Liuzi listened to the boldness of his order, and secretly thought in his heart: "This table is down, not to mention that it will cost four or five yuan, with your usual gambling temperament, how can you have so much money to entertain, don't you want to hang the account?" Thinking about it, he was about to make a reminder, but when he raised his eyes and saw Junchen behind him, it was impossible for him to be a master who had no money, so he responded in a loud voice: "Okay, Seventh Master, please be okay." "Hurry inside and get ready.

After ordering the food, Xiao Qi turned back to Junchen and smiled: "It's a joke for Brother Junchen." Immediately explained to Junchen, it turned out that this lake pavilion originally had a few pontoon bridges connected to the restaurant, but after a long time, it slowly decayed and collapsed, and no one was willing to pay money to repair it, and over time, there was no bridge connection. But who would have thought that there is no bridge, but more people are willing to go to this pavilion to eat and drink, because these restaurants have prepared boats to facilitate the pick-up and drop-off of guests and the delivery of wine and food to guests.

Xiao Qi just explained to Junchen here, and the bartender over there drove a small boat and brought the wine and food to the two. This little sixth son is also very nimble with his hands and feet, and it doesn't take much effort to put the wine and food neatly.

Xiao Qi was about to invite Junchen to the table, but unexpectedly, the little sixth son grabbed him and said: "Seventh master, a total of four times and another two hundred Wen, the shopkeeper said, the seventh master is an old customer, just give four times money." As he spoke, he spread his hand towards Xiao Qiyi and motioned for him to give money.

Unexpectedly, this little seven rolled his eyes and said: "What are you anxious about, when will your seventh master rely on the account, first record it in the account, and wait for the seventh master to settle the account with you tomorrow." ”

I thought that the bartender would leave, but unexpectedly, the little sixth son bumped into Tianqu and called Tianqu, "Ouch, Seventh Master, you can't do this, a few pennies or something on weekdays, it doesn't matter if you hang an account or something, this table will cost more than four dollars today, if I can't receive the money back, my shopkeeper won't scold me to death, or you go and tell my shopkeeper by yourself, or you will settle the money for me." ”

Xiao Qi's face couldn't hold it anymore, he didn't expect this little sixth son to be so faceless in front of others today, he couldn't help but be angry, and was about to turn his face, when he heard Junchen behind him say: "Bartender, then, the more will be stored in your account first." ”

Xiao Qi hurriedly turned his head and saw Junchen throwing a ten-tael ingots to Xiao Liuzi. When Xiao Qi was about to step forward to find Xiao Liuzi to ask for the money back, Junchen said softly: "You and my brother, who will not be the same, why bother with what you and mine." Xiao Qi heard Junchen say this, and also thought about his own situation, so he gave up. kicked at Xiao Liuzi's ass as if venting, telling him to leave quickly.

Xiao Qi drove away Xiao Liuzi, turned his head to Junchen and smiled curtly: "It's a joke for my brother." Junchen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, if Shichiro feels really sorry to go, it will be the same if he invites me to dinner and wine in the future." ”

Xiao Qi immediately nodded, patted his chest and said, "Next time, I will definitely invite my brother to drink." As he spoke, he took a jar of wine with a smile, glanced at it, and then patted the mud open, and said to Junchen while pouring the wine: "In our world, the good wine should be this Jimo old wine, and this boss refuses to sell it to me on weekdays. With that, he raised the bowl and drank it all.

"Good wine! Readily! ”

Junchen never drank alcohol in his previous life, and he had the reputation of "three glasses poured", and he only had a soft spot for certain drinks. It's just that when he came to this Song Dynasty, except for wine and water, there was nothing else for him to drink, so he could only follow the customs of the villagers and drink wine. However, the alcohol content of this ancient wine is really low, and he is only drinking it as a drink.

The two drank a bowl of this, Junchen looked around, and deliberately asked, "Qilang, why don't you see your two brothers today, why don't you call them together and eat a bowl?" ”

Xiao Qi patted his head, who said: "Look at my memory, I forgot my brother when I ate it, and I will call someone to find them." As he spoke, he ran to the edge of the gazebo and shouted again.

Here Xiao Qi asked someone to find the two brothers, sat down and ate a few bowls of wine with Junchen, and soon saw two small boats flying towards the pavilion, without much effort, they docked at the pavilion, and the two figures entered the pavilion from the boat.

Xiao Qi hurriedly got down from his position, walked to the side of the two, and introduced the two to Junchen. Among the two, the darker-skinned, shorter one is Ruan Xiaoer, the one with a red flower on the sideburns, and the more amorous one is Ruan Xiaowu. Junchen picked up two bowls of wine and handed them to Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu, and he also picked up a bowl and said, "Second brother, fifth brother, I have worked hard all the way, I respect you two for a bowl." ”

The two of them were not polite, they brought the bowl and drank it all with Junchen.

Ruan Xiaoqi saw that the three of them had a bowl, so he said, "Everyone don't stand still, and they are not outsiders, sit down and talk." ”

The three of them exchanged their names and surnames, and they inevitably admired each other for a long time. It's just that after hearing Junchen's name, Ruan Xiaowu seemed to glance at Junchen in surprise, and then thought about something a little thoughtfully.

Jianghu people, talking about things are inevitably about rivers and lakes. I saw Ruan Xiaoer drink the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and asked, "Brother Junchen, where did this come from?" ”

"The little brother came to Bianjing."

"Oh? My brother came from Bianjing, so I asked my brother about a person, Lin Chong, the "leopard head" of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that he has evil Shangguan and was sent to the army, can my brother know about this? ”

Speaking of Lin Chong, even if Junchen and Zhishen rescued him safely, they were still haunted in their hearts. With a "snap", Junchen slapped the wine bowl on the table, and scolded as soon as he opened his mouth: "The bullshit is evil Shangguan, it is obviously Gao Yu's son who is covering up his lustful son, and if he marries a wife who is a little beautiful, he will be remembered; If you don't offer your wife to them with both hands, you will do everything you can to kill you! Lin Jiaotou is also an official of the imperial court, but in the eyes of Gao Yu, he is a fart, if you want to live, if you die, you will die, where is the appearance of being an official! In the end, if you are assigned to fill the army, you have to put people to death before you are willing, can you still let your beloved live in this world? ”

"Snap", Ruan Xiaoqi over there also slapped the wine bowl, "Isn't it, isn't this world just not going to let people live!" To say that we live in this Shijie Lake, our ancestors have relied on this Shijie Lake for a living by fishing. But now it's good, but as long as you go to this lake, river, water, ditch to catch some fish, pick some lotus, you have to teach what kind of fishing tax, lotus tax, the whole family will get so much, even the children are not enough to eat, what to take to pay taxes for them, in this way, how to live! ”

"Xiao Qi, silence." Ruan Xiaoer saw that Xiao Qi was more and more excited, and hurriedly pulled him at the moment.

"Bang", there was another sound of slapping the wine bowl, and I saw Ruan Xiaowu stand up suddenly, stretched out his finger and pointed at Junchen, and was speechless for a long time.

Seeing this, Ruan Xiaoer was surprised, "Gorou, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I know who you are!" Ruan Xiaowu said excitedly.

"Fifth brother, isn't this Brother Junchen? Who could he be? "Xiao Qi is a little strange.

Ruan Xiaowu calmed down a little, and said: "A few days ago, I was eating flowers and wine in the Qunyan Building in the city, and when I went to the backyard to relieve my hands, I passed by a private room, and heard the people inside say that someone was intercepting and killing the person sent by Li Gao Taiwei to kill the head of the Lin sect halfway, according to the news from the Taiwei's mansion, it was done by Lu Da, the former commander of the Western Army, and a person named Li Junchen. As soon as Shicai heard the name of the Junchen brothers, he felt familiar, and he didn't think about it for a while, until he talked about Lin Jiaotou, it turned out to be the Junchen brothers who made a big fuss about the wild boar forest. ”

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi were taken aback, and they hurriedly looked around, and found that no one paid attention to this, and their hearts were a little relieved. "My brother Junchen, you have committed such a big thing, how dare you run around like this, aren't you afraid that Gao Taiwei will send someone to take you? Aren't you afraid that I will wait for my brother to go to the official to get a reward? ”

"Haha......" Junchen looked up to the sky and laughed, "The three heroes of the Ruan family are well-known bloody heroes in the rivers and lakes, how can they be this kind of villain who will betray their friends!" I don't hide the three, it is that Li Junchen below, and now he is the owner of Shuibo Liang Cottage, and this time I came to invite the three heroes to go up the mountain to gather together! ”

"What! You're the guy who recently occupied Liangshan! The three were taken aback.

"My brother, why didn't you say it earlier, if you said it earlier, where would there be today's matter, our brother would have packed up and gone up the mountain with you!" Ruan Xiaoqi stood up suddenly, looked at Junchen, and said excitedly.

"This enthusiasm has long wanted to sell and know the goods!" Ruan Xiaowu pulled away the vest on his body, and the blood-boiling words blurted out from his mouth again.

Ruan Xiaoer didn't say anything, just quietly picked up the wine jar and filled the bowls of several people with wine.

Junchen knew what he meant, so he picked up a bowl first, and the three of them also picked up a bowl, "Liangshan, who enters, is a brother, not to live together, but to die together, against this oath, God and man abandon together!" With that, he drank it all and smashed the bowl down.

The three brothers glanced at each other, "Liangshan who enters is a brother, not seeking to live together, but seeking to die together, violating this oath, God and man abandon together!" After that, he also drank the wine in the bowl and smashed the bowl hard.

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

Suddenly, a hearty laughter sounded in the pavilion and slowly diffused to the sky above the entire Shijie Lake.
