Chapter 21 The Naval Army Has Fallen
After turning and turning, the three boats finally circled out of this vast reed. After paddling in this Shijie Lake for a while, I can finally see the land.
I saw that there were seven or eight thatched huts on the shore, and a mother-in-law was pointing at a person who was scolding, who was half-crouching on an empty stump by the lake, bowing his head, and not replying.
I only heard the mother-in-law scolding: "I didn't lose all my money in half a day, and I hit this hairpin on my head again...... Let's say that you don't want to fight, and your wife can't get married, so you just gamble! Do you really want to live and die of old age? ”
That Ruan Xiaoqi saw that this mother-in-law was only scolding on the shore, and didn't see that she had brought guests, so she shouted: "Old lady! Fifth brother! ”
The man squatting on the stump heard Ruan Xiaoqi's voice, and his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Seventh brother, you have living money in your hands, borrow me a few and then go and turn over the book!" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Fifth brother, don't go gambling today, there are distinguished guests!" ”
Ruan Xiaowu looked at the boat when he heard this, Wang Lun and Song Wan both stood up and clasped their fists at him. After a while, the sailors jumped ashore and tied ropes, and Wang Lun and Song Wan disembarked. Wang Lun stepped forward and said to the mother-in-law: "Xiaoxiao, the little nephew took the liberty to visit today, and he didn't bring any gifts, only this thing, and I hope that Xiaoxiao will accept it!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of garlic gold tied in a red cloth from his bosom and handed it to his mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law's eyes were a little glazed, and she took this hard yellow ingot to look at it carefully, and Ruan Xiaowu next to her had sharp eyes and shouted: "Old lady, return it to the guest quickly, this gift is too valuable, I'm afraid there won't be seventeen or eighteen taels of gold!" ”
The mother-in-law was startled when she saw this, and said in her mouth, "I can't help it, I can't help it!" He took Wang Lun's hand and wanted to return the gold collar to him. Wang Lun smiled: "Xiaoxiao, don't see outside!" It's almost the New Year, and the little nephew has no filial piety, so he only offers this mundane thing. Take it and take it to make a bracelet, and keep the rest for the fifth brother and seventh brother to ask for a daughter-in-law in the future! ”
The mother-in-law was very excited when she heard this, and suddenly many words in her heart came to her throat, but she didn't know where to start for a while. Seeing this, Wang Lun said again: "The fifth brother is a filial person, if he asks for his sister-in-law in the future, it will be better to take care of the old lady together!" Wang Lun knew that although Ruan Xiaowu was a good gambler, the old lady of the three brothers lived with him, instead of relying on Ruan Xiaoer, who had a family, to support him, so it can be seen that this Xiaowu is a sincere filial son.
As soon as the mother-in-law heard the guest talk about her most proud son, she took Wang Lun's hand and complained: "I'm not afraid of the guests laughing, my family is not good at fishing, but he just loves to gamble, and he is so poor that he loses to a family, which little lady is willing to follow him?" But among the three sons, I like him, only he has me in his heart! ”
Ruan Xiaoqi listened to it on the boat and said with a smile: "Old lady, this is not scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk!" I don't know how many times I have talked about it, asking my wife to move in with me, but I just refused, but I complained about it here! It's the second brother, and he hasn't come to persuade him a few times! ”
The mother-in-law replied, "You're not as good as Goro!" Don't say Erlang, but I can't argue with his sister-in-law! ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, Ruan Xiaowu came over and hugged the old lady, thanked Wang Lun on her behalf, and said, "I don't know the name of the distinguished guest!" ”
Wang Lun arched his hand and said, "Don't dare, Xiao Ke Wang Lun!" He pointed at Song Wan and said: "This is my brother, the people on the rivers and lakes call Song Wan in the clouds!" Song Wan also hugged Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaowu hurriedly returned the salute, seeing that Wang Lun was elegant and generous, and his words were free and easy, Song Wan on the side was also grown up, burly and abnormal, and said in his heart, "It turned out to be the leader of Liangshan, but I heard that Wang Lun was narrow-minded and stingy, and his brother discussed going to defect again and again, but he didn't make the trip because of such concerns." But when I see me today, I feel very different, no wonder people say that hearing is false, seeing is believing, it seems that there are many rumors on the rivers and lakes! ”
The mother-in-law saw that Wang Lun was dressed as a scholar, and heard him claim to be surnamed Wang, so she politely invited everyone into the house to serve tea, and only said: "Professor Wang, don't think my thatched house is shabby, and please sit at home and drink hot soup to warm up!" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi jumped down from the boat and said loudly: "Your guest has come to talk to my three brothers today, the old lady will go in first, put away the gold, Mojiao others will see it, I will accompany you to find the second brother!" ”
Wang Lun also thanked the old man again and again, and persuaded his mother-in-law to go in. He also asked the minions to cut a fat and greasy leg of mutton, took two pairs of chickens, two jars of wine, and followed the mother-in-law to send it in, Ruan Xiaowu thanked him on the side, but saw Ruan Xiaoqi holding his chest and just laughing, and said to his brother: "It's rare that the king leader loves us, and the fifth brother just pushes and does a lot, but the leader has a bad look on his face!" ”
Wang Lun laughed when he heard this, and said straightly, "Xiao Qi is a straightforward man, he really speaks to my heart!" Ruan Xiaowu saw that the minions who had gone in had withdrawn, so he asked Wang Lun and Song Wan to get on the boat and go to find Xiao Er together.
Ruan Xiaowu got on Xiao Qi's boat, or three boats were swinging in Shijie Lake, and in less than a stick of incense, everyone rowed to the front of Xiao Erwu. A young woman dressed in coarse cloth was killing fish on the shore, and a small monkey was playing by the water, Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "Sister-in-law, has the second brother ever been at home?" ”
When the woman heard this, she looked up, and saw that it was Xiao Wu Xiaoqi, and there were many guests, so she hurriedly said: "In the mile, I'll call him!" After saying that, he left the child to play and turned around and went into the house.
Everyone got off the boat, Xiao Qi stepped forward and hugged his nephew, the little monkey saw many strangers, and he was not afraid of life, but he looked at them with curiosity, suddenly smelled a fragrance, and sniffed his nose vigorously, then broke free from Ruan Xiaoqi and went straight to the food box.
Wang Lun smiled when he saw this, and asked the minions to open the food box, the child ignored the sludge on his hands, and grabbed the roast sheep, Xiao Wuyi slapped the child's buttocks, the child looked aggrieved, lowered his head and obediently went to the water's edge to clean his hands, and stared at Ruan Xiaowu pitifully.
Wang Lun looked interesting, came over and hugged the child, asked the minions to cut the sheep, took a good piece of lamb chops, and handed it to the child, the little monkey grinned, took the mutton, and didn't look at Ruan Xiaowu, stuffed it in his mouth and ate it, and suddenly his mouth was full of oil, and everyone laughed.
At this moment, Ruan Xiaoer and the Hun family strode out of the house, saw a scholar holding his child and eating there, and said busily: "I don't know that a distinguished guest is coming, sleeping soundly, slacking off!" ”
"Second brother, do you know how much, these two are the leader of the king and the leader of the Song on Liangshan, today the leader of the king came in person, and I bumped into him, and he was looking for the three of us to talk!" Ruan Xiaoqi said quickly.
Before Ruan Xiaoer could answer, the woman beside him was taken aback, and hurriedly took the child from Wang Lun's arms, saying "offended". Wang Lun smiled and handed the child back to her, hugged his fist at Ruan Xiaoer, and said: "I have heard that the Ruan brothers are heroic, and I have always wanted to come to visit the three heroes with Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui, but they have been entangled in trivial matters, and they are not allowed to go down the mountain, and they are free today, so they came with Song Wan, don't blame Wang Lun for coming abruptly!" ”
Ruan Xiaoer was stunned, and hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Where does the king leader speak, it's cold outside, please talk in the house!" Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi also kindly invited everyone to come into the house, and Wang Lun instructed the minions to carry the wine and meat in, and entered the house with Song Wan with the master.
Soon after the five people sat down, the woman warmed the wine and meat brought by Wang Lun, and all the minions helped to carry it out, the little monkey had a fat chicken leg in his left hand and a greasy lamb chop in his right hand, and he was crazy in the house.
Everyone gossiped for a while, and Ruan Xiaoer asked, "I don't know what is important for the leader of the king and the leader of the Song to come this time?" ”
Wang Lun put down the wine bowl and said with a smile: "First, I heard for a long time that the three of them are heroes, and they came to pay a visit, and secondly, there are many people who have thrown themselves into the mountains in our village in recent days, and the children are not eating well, so they are here to trouble the three!" ”
The three of them were at a loss for a while, they couldn't eat well and what were they doing with their brothers, did they come to borrow food? It doesn't look like it! Ruan Xiaoqi was still quick to speak, and said straightly: "Leader Wang, please speak clearly, but it is useful to my brother, the water comes and goes, the fire comes and goes, I don't dare to say half a word, but if the cottage hits my village's idea, please dispel the idea as soon as possible!" ”
Wang Lun and Song Wan laughed when they saw that they were all laughing, and the three of them were stunned by the laughter, but they heard Wang Lun say: "Qilang misunderstood!" This time, I'm here to talk to the three of you about buying some fish to eat! As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Lun suddenly felt a little funny in his heart, and he suddenly remembered that Wu Yong was also an excuse to buy fish when he said Sanruan, which coincided with himself, but the difference was that Zhiduoxing's purchase of fish was fake, and the collision was true, while he Wang Lun was buying fish was real, and the same solicitation was also true.
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, but at the same time, a trace of loss floated in their hearts, and after a pause, they heard Ruan Xiaoer say: "This is a trivial matter, fishing is my brother's livelihood, and the king leader wants to say as much as he wants!" ”
The frustrated expressions of the three fell in Wang Lun's eyes, and he didn't say anything, but said: "1,800 catties a day, each piece shall not weigh less than half a catty, and the big one is not limited, as long as it is delivered at noon, the copper money of the full scale will be settled, I don't know if a few people intend to do it?" ”
The three heroes of the Ruan family glanced at each other, and they were all surprised in their hearts, and only listened to Ruan Xiaowudao, "If you initiate the whole village to fish together, this amount can be afforded, but I don't know what the king leader does with so many fish every day?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Du Qian came to his senses. He is the leader of the house, and improving the food of the minions is what he should do, so it can be said that Wang Lun is helping him shout when he goes down the mountain this time.
When Song Wan said that his mouth was dry and he took wine to moisten his throat, he only heard Ruan Xiaoqi say: "The lord of Wang Zhai treats people like relatives, and the brothers on the mountain are blessed!" After speaking, he sighed again, and shook off the ambition in his heart, "It's a pity that no one knows my three brothers like this, otherwise I would have only sold this blood to him!" Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu both nodded in agreement.
Wang Lun saw that the three of them showed their intention to join the gang, and he was not ambiguous, and said: "Don't hide it from the three brothers, I have three brothers Du Qian, Song Wan and Zhu Gui to help me on the land route of the cottage, but I don't worry!" It's just that the heroes who are suffering from the unstoppable side of the water army, I have long had the intention of inviting the three to join the gang in my heart, but I am afraid that the three heroes will not put their innocent bodies into the green forest! And forgive me for taking the liberty of inviting three people to sit on a chair in my village today, can I? ”
Ruan Xiaoqi slapped the table and said loudly, "Why don't you want to, the three of us are impatient to live here, and our skills are not worse than others, why can't we live a happy life like Leader Wang!" ”
Seeing his younger brother confiding in his heart, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu glanced at each other, and they both got up and said to Wang Lun: "If my brother is willing to let us, this life will be sold to my brother, if you have two hearts in the future, you will dare to be killed by thunder!" ”
