Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 113 A Thief Comes From the Sea

Tangbai River is famous for the confluence of Baihe River and Tanghe River. One is in Dengzhou and the other is in Tangzhou, but they both converge in Xiangyang. People who only sail boats like to call this confluence the two river mouths.

Lu Bu and his party went all the way south from Lushan County to the boundary of Dengzhou, and they were familiar with this section of the road, so they avoided several forks and led them straight to the Baihe Ferry.

"It seems that there are a lot of people, so can there be a boatman?"

Ruan Xiaoqi looked around and scratched his head.

At this time, there is also a lot of people here, and several cargo ships docked here are busy moving goods up or down. From here, you can go south to Jinghu North Road, and go west to Henan. The government can transfer to Tangzhou or Suizhou via Xiangyang, which is the preferred water transportation route for merchants in Jinghu and Huaixi.

"Of course there are." Deng Fei glanced at the bustling scene and said to the crowd with a smile, "I was the Liu Yuan brothers who I threw off here in the past."

"But I don't know, how did brother Deng Fei get rid of it?" Ruan Xiaoqi asked with a smile.

Deng Fei scratched his head: "It was dark at that time, Brother Liu Yuan was in a hurry to chase, so I found a boat and dived to hide in the cargo pile, and I didn't know that I had returned to Xiangyang until the boat arrived. "

"Hahaha, Brother Deng Fei was not arrested by the government?"

Deng Fei smiled wryly: "I was afraid of being caught, so I got into the coolies after waking up, carried bags at the pier for a whole day, and only found a chance to sneak into another boat at night and escape."

Everyone roared with laughter, and even Lu Bu couldn't help laughing. I really don't know whether it's good luck or bad luck for him.

But joking aside, this business still needs to be done. At the moment Lu Bu asked a few of his followers to find the boat. They either looked vicious, or they carried the arrest papers on their backs, so it was really inconvenient for them to show up.

Yan Jiao looked at the tea shop by the river and pointed to it: "Brother, let me go to the tea shop and sit down for a while."

Lu Bu and the others looked and saw that it was a simple place with eight tables in total, two of which were outside, and six of which were covered by a gray ceiling. The stove is not far from the tea shop, four stoves are boiling water, two pots are already steaming, and a tea doctor is busy refilling tea for the guests.

"Then go sit down."

Lu Bu didn't refuse. It was probably a busy time at this time, and the tea shop was not full, so he tied the horses to the horse stakes, and the group sat down.

The doctor of tea saw a few burly men coming in with big black bags. He knew that they were from the Jianghu, so he came over with some fear: "How many... how many guest officials do you like tea?"

"Bring some tea." Ruan Xiaoqi said, "If anyone wants to satisfy their hunger, come and have some."

"Hey, wait a minute." The tea doctor felt a little relieved when he saw that he was speaking normally. After a while, he brought tea and served two plates of biscuits with pickles sandwiched between them.

Lu Bu and the others chatted while eating, and after a while, the servants who went to ask about the boat came back one after another, walked into the table of Lu Bu and the others and said, "Boss, there is no boat for me to wait for so many people on board."

"There are so many boats here, but none?" Ruan Xiaoqi was quite surprised.

"Master Qi, indeed not."

Ruan Xiaoqi was about to say something when he heard someone yelling from the side: "Zhi Niang, there are so many boats and no one can take them, isn't it bullying?"

……

Under the clear sky, four fast horses galloped along the official road. The first one was tanned, the beard on his face was messy and greasy, and the messy hair on his head was loosely tied with a rope, looking like a savage , this person's name is Wei Zhaode, he has a nickname of Fuhaijiao, his ancestral home is Shangwanren, and he has been a thief at sea for several years.

"Brother, are you going the right way? Don't go as far as you did last time."

"It doesn't matter if it's unbiased, brother, can we find a place to rest? My little brother's big crotch is really painful."

Two unshaven strong men behind him yelled at Wei Zhaode in front, one of them kept spreading his legs, and because of the jolting of the horse, he closed his face, and his face instantly became unspeakable.

"Bah." Wei Zhaode turned his head and waited for a few people who were showing bitter looks: "It's just that you have a lot of things to do, and you've never stopped getting into your mother's place when you landed."

"Brother, the land is different from the sea. If you take us back to the sea, I will complain."

"That's right, brother, if my surname Han complains on the boat, it will be raised by the young lady."

In the end, a bald man also joined in, but he and the other three were all pirates of this dangerous Zhaode, one was Zhang Jingzu, the other was Liu Ti, and the other was Han Kai.

"Yes, I told you to wait at sea and not listen. Don't yell anymore. There is Baihe Ferry in front of you. Just bear with it and go there to rest."

Wei Zhaode was annoyed by the noise, so he had no choice but to respond, without mentioning that the original goal of the crowd was the ferry.

The three reckless men cheered, cheered up and followed Wei Zhaode and rushed towards the ferry, thinking about going to the ferry to find the boat and getting on the boat before they could feel at ease.

The journey is not far away. After a while, the four of them arrived at Baishidu. Looking at the transport boats on the river, the eyes of the three big men were filled with joy, but after turning around, they were all full of goods and could not bring anyone with them. .

The four of them were helpless, they were exhausted from running all the way, when they saw a teahouse in the distance, Wei Zhaode walked over first, and the other three followed behind him, leading their horses.

After sitting still, the bald-headed Han Kai became more and more annoyed as he thought about it, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh and scolded: "Straight mother, there are so many bird boats and no one can take them, isn't it a bully?"

After hearing this, Ruan Xiaoqi turned around to look at the four of them, and said, "It seems that those few didn't find the boat either."

It was a very common sentence, but I didn't think that my heart was not going well, and I felt harsh when I heard everything, so I slapped the table and said: "Wu that man, you fart like a bird, did grandpa find a boat to fuck you?" thing!"

Ruan Xiaoqi frowned, turned around and looked at the four of them with a sneer: "Where did the bunch of birds come from to ask your seventh master to beg wild fire for food? Could it be that your mother didn't tighten her crotch and let you out?"

It was Zhang Jingzu who was cursing just now, and at this moment he slapped the table and stood up: "You dirty bastard, how dare you ask for death?"

Deng Fei's eyes widened and he was about to speak, but he didn't expect to be annoyed here, so he slapped the table and stood up: "Come on, let's see how your grandpa can teach you how to be a man."

When Deng Fei saw that he was winning, he kept silent.

Dr. Cha, who huddled beside him, groaned in his heart, secretly thinking that it was unlucky to meet this quack person, how could such a broken thing be good?

How could that Zhang Jingzu be stimulated?As soon as he turned the table and was about to come over, when he saw him, he came out first and walked over to meet him.

At the side, Lu Bu and Wei Zhaode, who took the lead, did not speak, but looked at them with interest. Lu Bu even picked up the tea bowl and took a sip slowly.

It was too late and then too soon, the two big men were already close to each other, but they were similar in size and height.That Zhang Jingzu punched the face of the scorpion, but the black bear clenched his fist and moved forward. Zhang Jingzu couldn't stand still, and was pulled forward by the huge force of the scorpion. The big black man kicked him with a flying kick fly out.

"Good thief!"

"Straight thief!"

Liu Ti and Han Kai were surprised to see that Zhang Jingzu was defeated so easily. At the same time, they slapped the table and stood up, kicking over the stool, and they were about to come and fight with him.

Even if they are not afraid of thousands of troops, how can they be afraid of the two of them, so they quickly stepped forward, before the two of them encircled him, he first kicked Liu Ti in the stomach and kicked him, and then turned sideways to let Wei Zhaode throw him teacup.

Amidst the crackling sound of "pang bang", Han Kai approached, kicked his foot towards the back of the plover, but he didn't expect that although the big black man was tall and majestic, his reaction was quick, and he turned to the side of his body. , crossed his hands to cover the leg, and kicked Han Kai's ankle non-stop, and the man fell to the ground with a thud, clutching his ankle in pain.

"It's easy to fight!" Wei Zhaode watched with an ugly expression on the face of the three of him alone, thinking that even if he faced the three of them on land, he would not be able to win so quickly, so he said firmly: "If it is in the water , the grandpas will tell you that you will not be able to beg for mercy."

Before Yan Ji could answer, Ruan Xiaoqi laughed strangely from behind: "That man Wu, he said that others don't know how to swim, dare to compare with Qi Ye?"

Wei Zhaode felt a burst of anger rushing from his dantian to his forehead, he slapped the table, pointed at Ruan Xiaoqi with his halberd and said, "Compare, I'm afraid you won't make it? Draw down!"

He rubbed his head, seeing that he had nothing to do here, so he walked back and sat down.

Ruan Xiaoqi turned to look at Lu Bu and said, "Brother, younger brother, go and teach him a lesson."

"Be careful in everything." Lu Bu would not object, he just warned, glanced at the three people on the ground, and drank tea by himself.

Ruan Xiaoqi got Lv Bu's consent, so he cheered up, stood up and said, "Since you are also a man in the water, we don't play with holding your breath and lurking those vain ones."

Seeing Wei Zhaode nodded and said: "You and us don't have to live and die separately, so weapons are not allowed to be brought into the water."

Wei Zhaode thought about it, he still had things to do when he came back this time, he couldn't afford to be sued for his life here, nodded and said: "That's the reason, but I didn't go ashore this time to find someone to kill."

Lü Bu and Yan Tiao raised their brows, looked at each other, and Ruan Xiaoqi showed a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "It's good, we're just competing with catching fish, whoever catches the bigger fish will win, how about it? "

Wei Zhaode didn't even think about it: "It's up to you."

Then he sneered and said: "There is only one quarter, how to say if you win, and how to say if you lose."

Ruan Xiaoqi didn't think about it for a while, but Wei Zhaode saw that he had no idea, and said directly: "I lost, you and that big man come over and kowtow to admit your mistake."

Ruan Xiaoqi sneered: "What do you say when you lose?"

"How could I lose?" Wei Zhaode raised his neck: "If you win by chance, I will kowtow to you."

"elder brother……"

The three of Zhang Jingzu called out, but were interrupted by Wei Zhaode's wave.

Immediately the two of them went to the bank, Lu Bu and the others left the minions to watch over the horses, and he led Deng Fei and Yan Jiao to the river, Zhang Jingzu and the other three had already recovered their breath, seeing that his elder brother wanted to compete with others, he himself Yes also follow behind.

Xin'er, who knows that the two groups of people are going to compete, surrounds them, forming a semi-circle in a short time, with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Although it is spring at this time, the water is colder than the water above, Wei Zhaode and Ruan Xiaoqi ate some hot food, moved around again, and took off their clothes.

But Ruan Xiaoqi's muscles are like cast iron, except for black spots, like a ladybug covered in spots, and the other has sharp muscles, but his skin is bronzed by the sun.The two stood still on the shore, looked at each other, and at the same time plunged into the water.

However, two splashes of water splashed, and then the ripples spread and disappeared, and the river surface returned to its original appearance.At the beginning, two naked figures could be seen circling underwater, but with a deep dive, everyone lost their shadows, and just looked anxiously at the surface of the water.

The gambler rolled his eyes, clapped his hands immediately, and shouted: "Come on, let's place a bet, let's see who can win, and if we win, we will pay [-]% of the cost. If one of the two is empty-handed Come up, the banker will kill all, the highest bet is one hundred coins, and the minimum bet is ten coins."

Everyone just laughed when they heard what he said, knowing that he was having fun, some people didn't want to gamble, so they ignored him, and those who were good at this, stepped forward to press with bright eyes, and some felt that the dealer Passers-by who had strict conditions for killing him hesitated there, but in the end they didn't come forward to place a bet.

"I buy my brother to win!"

Zhang Jingzu and the others are naturally interested in this. The life of a pirate is really exciting if you say it is exciting, and it is boring if you say it is boring. If you have nothing to do, you are willing to gamble. win.

"I'm coming too, buy my brother to win." Deng Fei was also restless, loosened his hair, covered his face, walked over and put down a hundred Wen to buy Ruan Xiaoqisheng.

Yan Jiao was also interested, and went up to buy a bet of Ruan Xiaoqi, while Lu Bu stood there drinking tea from a teacup and did not participate.

That is, when the number of bettors gradually decreased, someone shouted: "Look, someone is coming up."

The man sitting in the manor hurriedly stopped placing bets, and everyone looked at the river, the river tumbling for a while, and then Wei Zhaode's dark face emerged from the water.

"Brother is here."

As soon as the words fell, Wei Zhaode had already come up from the water, pinching the gills of the fish with one hand, and hugging the body of the fish with the other, he was holding a live fish, the fish was not willing to be caught, it was struggling violently .

"I'm coming up."

Throwing the fish to the ground, the fish became dizzy and then stopped moving, occasionally jerking its body to show that it was still alive.

Before the three of Zhang Jingzu could come forward to talk to Wei Zhaode in the future, they heard the sound of water coming out from behind again, and Ruan Xiaoqi, who was dressed in black spots, also jumped out of the water. Not sure which one is bigger.

"Quick, weigh, take the scale."

If something good happens, the fish will be weighed, and the two fish will be weighed immediately.

"Thirty-one catties and six taels!"

Han Kai laughed aloud: "It's a big fish, brother will definitely win."

Another fish from Ruan Xiaoqi was brought over there, and the person who weighed it took a closer look: "One tael of 32 catties!"

Zhang Jingzu's complexion changed: "Impossible!"

　The eldest daughter is born, oh yeah~
