Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

"No need to bother, no need to bother, I still need to... eh?"

When An Daoquan heard that he wanted to drink, he quickly waved his hands to refuse. Tong Meng walked up and grabbed his arm with his good hand. The miracle doctor was stunned and just turned to look at Tong Meng. On the other side, the Tong family's elder man stepped forward and almost At the same time, he grabbed the other side, and An Daoquan turned to look at him in shock.

"Oh, the miracle doctor will rest here for the night. We will send him back early tomorrow morning." Tong Wei said with a smile, and he and his brothers used force to lift the doctor into the air.

"Wait a minute, put me down! This... this is so inappropriate."

An Daoquan was hanging in the air, his feet half in the air unable to reach the ground. He just kept kicking and trying to find a place to borrow strength.

The two rude men of the Tong family persuaded, "Don't worry, miracle doctor, we just want to have a toast." "Does the miracle doctor still have to go home to report? It doesn't matter, we will just accompany him back to testify." There was no movement at all. No matter how hard the man struggled, he just took him to the side and pinned him down to the seat.

"Don't be like this, I will stay, I will stay."

An Daoquan looked at the two of them with a wry smile. Since he couldn't leave, he just had a drink here, and a piece of meat was indispensable.

From behind, Li Fu watched with a smile as the Tong brothers took An Dao away. Then he calmed down his excited expression, turned around and cupped his hands and said, "My mood was suddenly agitated. I have neglected Master Lu. I hope you won't be blamed."

"This is human nature, why should we blame him?" Lu Bu looked at the miracle doctor behind him who was smiling bitterly: "I would like to congratulate my father-in-law and his family for being safe. This is a blessing in the world."

"Hahahaha." The old man smiled happily, then stretched out his hand and said, "Don't stand here anymore, go into the house first."

Lu Bu happily nodded in agreement and walked in with everyone behind him. Li Fu first went to the back room to visit Li Jun, told him to live well and cultivate himself, and then came out.At this time, Su Dalong, Shi Quan and others had already invited the villagers, and they had set up tables and chairs in the courtyard as before. A few young people brought some fresh vegetables back and gave them to the women who came to cook. He is best at cooking country dishes, and he is also quick at handling fish and shrimps. Not long after, plates of steaming dishes were brought to him.

Because Li Jun woke up, the people in the village were also happy and came to congratulate one after another. The host family brought two jars of wine, and the west family brought a plate of meat. Although they were not timid when seeing guests here, they were not very sociable people. , He just gave the wine and meat he brought to the guests, and stood aside with a silly smile.

"Master Lu and Divine Doctor An, come and have a taste. They are all home-brewed village wines. Although they are not as refreshing as the famous wines outside, they still have a different flavor." When his nephew woke up, Li Fu's face was now There were many smiles on his face, and he kept urging Lu Bu, An Daoquan and others to drink and eat.

An Daoquan's face turned red. He had already been drunk by a group of rough men and villagers who came to thank him. At this time, his eyes were straight. After listening to Li Fu's words, he instinctively raised the wine bowl and started drinking. Then he fell down on the table and was picked up by several men who screamed, "The miracle doctor is drunk!" "Hurry up and help him down." He was taken back to the house.

"You're welcome then." Lu Bu smiled and raised his cup to signal.

It is said that mood can be contagious. People in the courtyard were all smiling. From time to time, some people would get so happy that they opened their mouths and sang local songs with two voices. This often attracted others to sing in unison. Even though everyone in Liangshan couldn't understand it, they also heard it. Smiling as he watched the noise, he also drank two more glasses of water and wine out of happiness.

"That's right, that's right. When I get older, I forget things with joy."

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Fu, who was so happy today, had finished his glass of wine. Some drunken old men patted their heads and muttered to themselves, then smiled drunkenly at Lu Bu, and then shouted A voice: "Zhang Dalang, Zhang Erlang, come here."

Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, who were eating and drinking over there, raised their heads and saw that it was Li Fu shouting. They quickly wiped their mouths and stood up and walked over. They glanced at the crowd strangely and said somewhat cautiously: "Boss Li, are you looking for us?"

He stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Shun, who was standing nearby: "This, I saw it as my nephew, Zhang Shun, it was Zhang Shun who brought Dr. An here this time. What a good baby..." Then he said Brother Thumb: "Kung Fu in the water is the one that is most likely to surpass me in the future."

He nodded again at Zhang Heng: "That's his brother Zhang Heng, nicknamed Chuan Huo'er, and he's also..."

Zhang Heng, who was standing, smiled bitterly: "Boss Li, I introduced you at the foot of Xiaogu Mountain today."

"Hmm...?" He stared at Zhang Heng with red eyes, blinked for a long time, patted Zhang Shun and said: "Yes, that's right, I told you today."

Langli Baitiao, who was beaten, looked at his brother with a wry smile. This slap was somewhat unfair.

"This is the leader of Lu Bu Lu Village, hiccup. He has the same name as the flying general from the Three Kingdoms." The old man slapped his thigh, his face red from drinking and stiffened his neck of the same color: "Without him, we would probably have to eat Namo this time." The suffering of the nuns."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lu Bu's face when he heard this, and then he returned to normal. He had become accustomed to being discussed in person recently.

"I heard my eldest brother say it before." Zhang Shun nodded, then looked at Lu Bu and clasped his fists: "Zhang Shun, a nobody from Jiangzhou, has met the leader of the village."

"Brother, that's so polite." Lu Bu returned the gift, but he was confused in his heart. He didn't know what Li Fu meant by talking to himself so suddenly. He looked at Li Zhu and glanced at Li Fu. What did he mean? You are so close to this old man that you don't know why you are talking so incoherently.

Li Zhu was also a little confused. The moment he shrugged, the old man's voice over there sounded again: "Now that our crisis in Jiangzhou has been resolved, Master Lu Zhai plans to recruit some of our Jiangzhou men to go up the mountain to join the gang. I have agreed to set up a line. Whether you go or not is up to you."

After Li Fu finished speaking, the Zhang brothers who were standing looked at each other and then at Lu Bu, who was raising his glasses, looking thoughtful.

"What Mr. Li said is right." Li Assistant stood up, with a kind smile on his face, and looked at the two of them sincerely: "My brother is thirsty for talents, and the army in the mountains also needs to expand its recruitment. If you two are really capable, each of you can do it." It is possible to lead a battalion of naval forces, and the village is building a sea-going ship, which has already sailed to the Liao Kingdom..." He looked at the two people's unwavering expressions with squinted eyes, and then changed his words: "Nothing else. Tell me more, if two brothers go up the mountain, each of them will receive a settlement fee of one thousand guan."

Zhang Heng was listening quietly, but when he heard this, his eyes widened: "How many? Qian Guan?" He suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Bu, who was sitting aside and talking to Li Fu.

Lu Bu, who noticed his gaze, turned his head and looked at Chuan Huo'er, who had wide eyes, and smiled: "Everyone has a thousand swords, this is a certain rule."

The corner of Zhang Heng's mouth raised slightly, then lowered it instantly. He looked at Zhang Shun beside him and tugged on his sleeve: "We still need to discuss it."

"Of course." Li Assistant picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "I'll be here for another three to five days before I leave, so there's no rush." ​​"In that case, let's go back first." After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he and his brothers looked at everyone He hugged his fists and went straight back, sat on the table, picked up the wine bowl, and drank a lot of wine.

"Brother..." Zhang Shun did not drink. He just watched his brother, who was watching the wine dripping from his mouth and down his beard, said softly: "We want..."

"We'll talk about it later." Zhang Heng's eyes flickered and he approached his brother: "This is not the place for negotiation."

Then he picked up the wine bowl and shouted at Shi Quan who was facing him from drinking: "Come on, come on, drink. We brothers haven't been so lively for a long time. We need to drink two more glasses today."

The banquet was joyful, but people eating, drinking and chatting were indulgently indulging their emotions. The scene gradually evolved from eating wine and singing folk songs to drunken people howling at the top of their lungs. In the chaotic dance of demons, all the wine was consumed, and messy cups and plates were piled on the table. A dark-skinned village woman with rough hands and feet came over, lifted her drunken man on her shoulders, and walked all the way back.

Lu Bu saw that it was already getting late, so he took everyone to say goodbye. There was no one else in these fishing villages at this time, but there were quite a few vacant houses where people died in the conflict. He walked into a clean room, waved away his remaining gifts, and sat down with Li Zhu on both sides. Hu Sanniang, who had just been drinking with a woman in the back hall, took the initiative to get up and serve them tea to sober up.

The oil lamp flickered, and the figure reflected on the wall changed his posture. Assistant Li raised his hand and rubbed his face hard twice: "Brother, it seems that Li Fu has very selfish motives, that is, he mentioned to a few people that we are recruiting people." Things."

"Selfishness... is human nature." Lu Bu was also a little tired. The advantage of not being drunk was that he could always be sober. However, this kind of sobriety was a disadvantage among a group of drunkards. After all, even he himself did not know what the drunkard said. Speaking out is a heavier burden for the listeners. However, Li Fu was very drunk today and still insisted on talking to him. That is to say, Lu Bu's temper has improved a lot now, and considering that he is an old man, he has not had an attack. Otherwise, with his previous temperament, I might be able to grab him by the collar and throw him three feet away.

Li Assistant narrowed his eyes and said in a surprised tone: "I thought my brother would be angry because of this."

"Why are you so angry?" The young leader stretched out his body in an indistinct manner, with a look of indifference on his handsome face: "This is just a casual chess game. It would be best to have someone to take refuge with. If not, I can just rest here for some time. Quan It’s time to take a rest and relax.”

"Brother, it's okay to think about it, but it's just that Li Fu's nephew may have the final say in Jiangzhou in the future." Li Assistant stroked his beard and looked outside. In the darkness, only a few rooms were still lit with lights. He stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I won't delay my brother's rest."

"The military advisor will go as he pleases."

The young man who looked up nodded and Mr. Jin Jian just walked out of the house. The moment he opened the door, Hu Sanniang walked in with hot tea. Seeing Li Zhu who was about to leave, she exclaimed: "The military advisor will go back soon. Don’t you want to drink hot tea?”

"No, I drank enough today and I can't hold it anymore." Li Zhu patted his belly mockingly, smiled and said goodbye to Hu Sanniang, and then disappeared into the night.

Zhang Qing then turned around and closed the door, holding hot tea and passing it to Lu Bu: "How come we talk so fast? We used to talk for an hour."

"I'm just worried that a certain young man won't be able to bear his anger." Lu Bu took the teacup, took a sip, and looked at the woman in front of him.

Hu Sanniang tilted her head, maybe because she drank some wine, the woman's cheeks were stained with a blush, and she looked very beautiful under the light. She asked a little confused: "How angry are you? Why don't you understand?" ?”

Lu Bu smiled when he heard this and opened his hands. Yi Zhangqing went to sit on his lap and let his man hold him in his arms. Then he said: "Previously, Li Fu promised to recruit men from Jiangzhou into the navy for us, but who knew that this man I just informed other unrelated people, but I didn’t notify anyone." He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the frowning woman in his arms, shook his head and said softly: "But I can understand, these people are probably The team Li Fu left behind for his nephew certainly don’t want these people to leave with all their heart.”

"Then... Lang Jun just let it go like this?"

"I'm not so small-minded as to seek revenge for something like this." With a long laugh, the woman screamed and picked her up. The night was long and there was still plenty of time.

It rained heavily at night, and the birds returned to their nests at night. The birds sang, the ducks, the luan, and the bush.

……

While Lu Bu and others were resting in the room, on the other side, the two brothers Zhang Heng wandered into an empty room on the side. They first fetched water from the well and washed their faces. The cold water splashed on their faces, soothing their thoughts that were soaked in alcohol and sluggish. Sober up a bit.

"Brother, did you know that my mother was sick?" Langli Baitiao, who was sitting down, said something first and then continued: "If someone hadn't pointed me to find An Daoquan, maybe my mother would have..."

"...It's not mine." Zhang Henghong looked at his younger brother: "I just wanted to make some money, but I didn't know that my mother was sick. Alas! I just got some money from Boss Li. I will have a good time tomorrow. Thanks to the doctor, the rest can be used to improve my life."

"Doctor An is a capable doctor." Zhang Shun nodded, knowing that my mother was fine. He didn't want to hold on to Zhang Heng, so he changed the subject and said, "I heard that Boss Li gave Qian Guan money, and what brother is going to do in the future?" very?"

Zhang Heng leaned back on the chair, looked up at the dark beams, and murmured: "I originally wanted to use these as capital to do private business, but in addition to food, clothing, housing, and transportation, I also need to buy goods and sell goods..." His eyes turned to Zhang Shun who was standing aside: "Second brother, how long will it take for us to earn two thousand dollars?"

Zhang Shun knew his brother very well. Zhang Heng had expected it from the moment he listened to Li Zhu's words today. He was not surprised when he heard the words. He just said: "Shang Liangshan is a rebellion. When the time comes, we will He has become a big thief, how can I live if I am harmed?"

Zhang Heng smiled disdainfully: "It would be illegal for me to run a private business. Besides, I also killed Li Li. When word spreads in two days, I will be targeted by the government. I will be implicated." Suddenly Sit up straight and move closer to his brother: "You think, by that time, we will be single and weak, and it will be easy for the government to take people away. But going to Liangshan will be a thorn in the side of the government, but you still need to be able to be an official." It’s enough to win, but it’s no better than me alone outside?”

Looking at the hesitant brother, Chuanhuo'er said again: "If you are worried, I will go up alone. You can serve me at home, and I will send you the money I got so that you two can live happily."

"...It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate." Zhang Shun's face was uncertain, he muttered a few words, and then his eyes were fixed: "As the elder brother said, if I am out with my mother, I will inevitably be angry. One day, when I have to live with you, I might as well leave together. At least I will have money, and I can live a comfortable life for a few years."

Zhang Heng was overjoyed: "It seems that this is my brother."

The two of them had reached an agreement, and they both made some hot soup to boil their feet, and then rested in the house. However, they couldn't sleep for a while, so they chatted casually, and gradually there was no sound in the house. (End of chapter)
