Chapter 65: Lushan Spring Society (II)

Li Yanqing rushed to the archery range, only to see that Wang Gui had finished archery, leaning against a big tree with a depressed face, and Tang Huai was shooting arrows in the archery field. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Old Gui, what's going on?"

Wang Gui muttered, but Li Yanqing didn't hear it clearly, and a villager next to him smiled: "This little official shot the blue circle with the first arrow and won 500 yuan, but the second and third arrows flew away, and the fourth arrow couldn't pull the bow, and he lost 500 yuan in vain." ”

Wang Gui said hatefully: "These two men are cheating, saying that it is a special eight-bucket bow for the army, but in fact, it is not at all. ”

Ruan Xiaowu, who was squatting next to him, had very long ears, and when he heard Wang Gui's complaint, he hurriedly smiled and said: "This little official has to speak with his conscience, we didn't say that it was a special eight-bucket bow for the army, only that it was a eight-bucket bow, and the arrows were for the army. ”

Li Yanqing's heart jumped suddenly, and he secretly wondered: "Could it be that they are the three brothers of the Ruan family in Liangshanbo?" ’

Li Yanqing knew that in the uprising of the 36 people in Song Jiang in history, there were indeed three heroes of the Ruan family, but they were not necessarily masters of the water, and these two people were very likely to be two of the three heroes of the Ruan family, so he asked with a smile: "Are you Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu?" Or Ruan Xiaoqi? ”

Ruan Xiaowu pointed to his brother and said, "My brother introduced me just now, I'm Ruan Xiaowu?" He is Ruan Xiaoer. ”

Speaking of this, Ruan Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Li Yanqing in surprise, "How do you know that there is another Ruan Xiaoqi?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "I don't know, I just asked casually." ”

Ruan Xiaowu was even more puzzled, when his brother introduced himself just now, this little official had not yet come, and now he not only knew the names of himself and his brother, but also knew Ruan Xiaoqi, had he heard of the third brother of the Ruan family? It's almost the same in Jingdong East Road, but it's Hebei West Road!

At this time, everyone let out a regretful boo, Tang Huai's fifth arrow grazed the arrow target, almost hit the arrow target, Tang Huai's face was ugly, he shot five arrows in a row, but he didn't hit the arrow target, the results were not as good as Wang Gui, Wang Gui also came to the spirit, he is not the worst, and there is Lao Tang at the bottom!

Ruan Xiaoer picked up the last arrow and handed it to Tang Huai, "This is your last chance!" ”

Tang Huai's arms were sore, and he couldn't pull the bowstring even three times, so he had to put the bow down, "I admit it!" ”

He walked up to Li Yanqing and Wang Gui and shook his head and said, "It's strange, I'm seven out of ten arrows at home, why can't I shoot a single arrow here?" ”

Wang Gui pursed his lips, "I still have ten arrows and ten hits at home!" Bragging who wouldn't. ”

"I'm not bragging!"

"Hey! You two. ”

Ruan Xiaoer shouted: "If the last arrow is ****, I can make it clear, give up by myself, and I won't return the money." ”

Wang Guiyi pushed Li Yanqing, "Lao Li, you go and shoot the last arrow, you are better than us." ”

Li Yanqing has also practiced archery in Wang Gui's house in recent years, as Hu Sheng said to him, he has a special talent for hitting stones, which can be extended to archery, when he was in the children's meeting of the Wen Archery has shown his talent for archery, just one month, his archery skills far exceeded Wang Gui and Tang Huai, who had practiced for several years.

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly saw a burly old man standing in the crowd, with white hair and beard, and strong arms, it was Master Zhou they met by the river that day, Li Yanqing suspected that he was the iron-armed Zhou Dong, but he didn't know why he came to Xiaohe Township?

Li Yanqing saw that the old man was squinting at him, his eyes were extremely sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts, he burned a kind of courage in his heart, and he did not postpone it, he stepped forward to pick up the bow and arrow, he looked at the arrow target and a silver ingot hanging next to him, and asked proudly: "What if I shoot down the silver?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer's eyes showed surprise, he took out another ingot of ten taels of silver, and said to Li Yanqing: "If you can shoot the silver down, I will double the color head, twenty taels of silver." ”

The surrounding villagers exclaimed, twenty taels of silver, you can buy ten acres of good land, everyone showed envy in their eyes, and they only hated themselves Why don't they practice archery in the bow and arrow club? Lost a chance to make a fortune in vain.

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "Then it's a word!" ”

He stretched out his bow and set up his arrows, and drew his bow like a full moon, and as soon as the string was loosened, the arrows shot out like lightning. With a bang, an arrow struck the silver ingot, and the arrow was so powerful that the rope was torn off, and the silver flew out with the arrow.

"Good archery!"

The surrounding villagers suddenly burst into thunderous applause, the villagers had never seen such a clever archery, they were very excited for a while, and the shouts rang out, Wang Gui and Tang Huai were even more excited to jump up, and couldn't help but raise their arms and roar, and the sense of loss that the two of them just now was washed away by Li Yanqing's arrow.

Zhou Dong on the side also nodded, this young man is not only good at swordsmanship, but also powerful in archery, and more importantly, he is very smart, he only said that he shot down the silver, but did not say that he wanted to shoot the rope, which is the same as the two men who only said that it was a bow with eight buckets, but did not say that it was a special eight-bucket bow for the army.

The Ruan brothers looked at each other, they both thought that this young man was going to shoot the rope, but they didn't expect that people were shooting silver, and they shot the silver down, Ruan Xiaoer's heart suddenly became angry, he had been on the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he had never been tricked, this time he was actually pitted by a country boy, it was a, if Brother Song knew, he didn't know how to laugh at himself.

Without waiting for him to speak, Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "The two elder brothers have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, didn't this name be earned by reputation?" ”

Ruan Xiaowu's face was swollen and red, as if he had been slapped in the face, Ruan Xiaoer's face was gloomy, and he couldn't get off the stage a little.

At this time, Li Yanqing laughed, arched his hand and said: "The arrow just now doesn't count, we all understand, it's actually me who is opportunistic, I should shoot the rope, can the two brothers let me shoot another arrow?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer snorted heavily, and then went down the steps of Li Yanqing, he picked up an arrow and handed it to Li Yanqing, "I also thought you were going to shoot a rope, so I bet with you, since you also admit that it was opportunistic, that arrow can not be counted." ”

Wang Gui and Tang Huai were just about to make a noise, but Li Yanqing turned around and glared at them fiercely, the two of them were speechless, Li Yanqing took the arrow and said with a smile: "If you want me to shoot a rope, I really can't do it, but I have practiced archery targets!" ”

He pulled his bow and arrows again, this arrow was as fast as a meteor, hitting the bull's-eye, and the cheers sounded again, and even Zhou Tong couldn't help but applaud.

Ruan Xiaoer knew that he had met a master today, not only did he not miss the arrow, but he could also shoot the silver ingot with one arrow, even if they might not be able to do it.

And the other party has already saved face for them, how can he not know that Ruan Xiaoer stepped forward and picked up ten taels of silver, handed it to Li Yanqing and said with a smile: "Since our brother has set up a gambling game, he will admit to losing the bet, the little official is good at archery, and he is worthy of being a hero out of a young man, I don't know if Ruan Xiaoer can climb high and make friends with the little official?" ”

Li Yanqing hugged his fists and smiled: "In Xia Li Yanqing, I have heard the name of the three heroes of the Ruan family for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet in the Spring Society today, it is Li Yanqing's honor." ”

Ruan Xiaoer is also a bold person, he saw that although Li Yanqing was not very old, he was very good at dealing with people and taking care of his face everywhere, so he laughed and said: "Okay! It is also our honor to meet Li Shaolang in the Spring Society today, and I invite Li Shaolang to have a glass of water and wine. ”

Li Yanqing pointed to the greenhouse in Li Wencun and said with a smile: "The two eldest brothers might as well go to the shed in our village, eat and drink!" ”

"In that case, it's better to be respectful, let's pack our things and come right away."

Li Yanqing returned the ten taels of silver to them, but the two of them didn't want to live or die, saying that Li Yanqing's refusal to accept it would damage their reputation, and Li Yanqing had to accept it.

At this time, there was a thick bell in the distance, the bell of the Spring Society dinner rang, the climax of the Spring Society finally came, and the villagers who had been shopping for most of the day were already hungry, and they went to the community shed in their own village, ready to get together and drink together.

Li Yanqing looked around, but Zhou Tong was missing, and he was strange in his heart, so he asked Wang Gui and Tang Huaidao: "Did you just see the old man you met by the river last time?" ”

Wang Gui and Tang Huai looked at each other, they only watched Li Yanqing shoot arrows, where to pay attention to the old man.

"Lao Li, you must have read it wrong, Zhou Jiaotou is in the county, why did he come to us?" Wang Gui insisted that Li Yanqing was dazzled.

Li Yanqing looked around again, but still didn't see Zhou Tong, so he had to give up, at this time, Wang Gui and Tang Huai's grandfather both sent people to find the two, and they went back to the shed.

The long two rows of long tables were full of villagers, except for a few people who had no time to rush back from other places, the whole village gathered together.

At this time, Li Yanqing took Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu to Baozheng Li Dayin and said with a smile: "These two are my friends, and their wine money is recorded on my head." ”

Although the Spring Club is the most lively and festive time of the year, there are also rules, every family has to pay money, with the head as a part, a few people in attendance, a few money, and the villagers who participate in the preparation will also have subsidies, so that everyone has a good time.

Li Dayin smiled, "Welcome to Li Wencun, please sit casually!" ”

Although Li Yanqing's father is not there, there are a lot of people in the family, Uncle Zhong, sister-in-law Ju and her daughter, plus Magpie and Li Yanqing himself, there are six people, and now with the Ruan brothers, there are eight people, occupying a large table.

But the Spring Society is to be lively, the more people the better, the women will serve bowls of cooked dishes, a few descendants also slapped open the mud seal of the wine jar, pour wine in the bowl for everyone, Baozheng Li Dayin raised the wine bowl and smiled: "The new year's farming is about to begin, everyone is happy to get drunk, and start working tomorrow, come!" We drink. ”

The villagers cheered, raised their bowls high, drank heartily, and began to eat and drink.

The Ruan brothers were in great interest, chatting with Li Yanqing and Uncle Zhong while drinking in a big bowl, but the magpie pulled Ah Tao to sit beside her, and the two little maids smiled and whispered while taking a sip of wine.

When the wine was half-drunk, Ruan Xiaoer smiled and said: "Don't hide it from my brother, we actually came to Lushan Town this time to find someone, to find an old brother who has been lost for many years." ”

Li Yanqing took two sips of wine and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it, the folks in the big hometown, who are you looking for, maybe everyone knows each other." ”

Ruan Xiaoer groaned and said, "Do you know a man named Hu Cheng?" He was about forty years old and very strong. ”
