Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The sun hangs in the cloudless sky, and the water waves reflect the golden light. From time to time, water birds plunge into the water from the sky, splashing a piece of water, and then rise into the sky with scattered crystals. In the woods in the water, a breeze blew, and the delicate green branches drooped slightly. When the wind stopped, they bounced back and swayed slightly.

"I've met my brother!"

On the golden beach, dozens of figures stood, bowing their hands and saluting those who came ashore from the springboard. The sound of shouting in unison shook the world and startled countless birds.

On the sand boat, several dark-skinned sailors huddled together tremblingly. One of them wiped cold sweat from his forehead and looked down the boat. After a while, he turned his face and covered his heart and said to a middle-aged man: "Boss of the boat, if we can leave this water in one piece, Go out, I want to rest for half a year..."

"Me...me too." The companion next to him wiped his sweat and grabbed the person next to him: "Hold on...hold on, my legs are a little weak."

The middle-aged man looked at the shore where the cheers were thundering, and saw strong and strange-looking men coming forward to salute. They also had a sad face: "You talk so much nonsense, how about you look at it when you take the job?" I was given a lot of money, but all I had to do was kneel down and call daddy. Now that I’m in the den of thieves, it’s mine, isn’t it? Why didn’t you fart when I was asked to change my route with a knife on my neck!”

Several sailors' faces turned red, and after a while someone whispered: "He didn't say he wanted to come to Liangshan at that time."

"You also know that he didn't say anything." The ship boss glared at him angrily and reached out to touch the hard stubble on his chin: "But I heard that the lives of merchants here in Liangshan are not harmed. Besides, if they really want to kill us, , I have already taken action, why wait until this place to operate again? Let’s relax and take a look first, I think it’s fine.”

While a few people were whispering, soldiers from Liangshan kept running to the boat to help transport the looted materials. The shouts of "Hey!" attracted the attention of people on the beach.

He stretched his head and looked at the sand boat over there, muttering in his mouth: "Brother is actually doing something big. If I had known that I would have to stay and follow my brother no matter what, I would be bored all the way back."

"Stop talking about useless things." Lu Bu patted Sui's shoulder: "Has your battalion been adjusted? If it is held back in battle in the future, don't blame a certain military law officer."

"Brother, just wait and see, there will definitely be no difference." Hehe smiled, showing a pair of white teeth on his dark face.

Lu Bu took two steps forward and suddenly remembered that there was another hostage and asked, "Has Liu Yun been redeemed?"

"Not really, and I don't know if Manichaeism has forgotten him." Wu Jiao, who was following him, interjected: "Since this man went up the mountain, he has interacted with many people on the mountain, but he has not gone beyond that. He is considered honest."

Lu Bu nodded, looked at the people who had come off the boat, and waved, "Okay, everyone goes back. We'll talk about anything after tonight."

At that moment, everyone responded and surrounded Lu Bu and walked towards the mountain. Someone went to the boat to pay the ship's fare to appease everyone.

……

The sunlight that shines down cuts off the shadows of the branches, passes through the wide open windows, and reflects slightly on the ground.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, you're taking your time to kill a sheep, and you're still shouting to go to the battlefield and kill people?" Zhou Darong slapped a cook on the back of the head with his belly full.

Then he pointed to the other side: "I said you can't use high fire to stew chicken, what kind of firewood are you adding? Why don't you just take it out!"

He stood up straight, looked around and said loudly: "Everyone, please be more energetic. Brother is going back to the mountain. As cooks, we don't work hard. Is it possible that we have to ask brother to cook by himself?"

The shouting and yelling in the kitchen never stopped, and amid the sound of chopping vegetables and meat, the fat cook was so busy that his feet did not touch the floor. He walked around here from time to time, for fear that someone below would do a bad job. Fortunately, not long after, Ruan Xiaoer's mother-in-law came over with a group of female relatives to help. Only then did Zhou Darong, who was preparing for today's banquet, breathe a sigh of relief.

The smell of fireworks gets stronger and the aroma of the food gets stronger.

……

The kitchen was busy in the dark, and Ye Qing's feet were not touching the ground. Lu Bu went out and brought back many people. It took a lot of effort to arrange these people properly. Fortunately, he was quite experienced, so he found Laifangxuedu asked for a battalion of field soldiers, and asked them to build some wooden houses for the people going up the mountain to live in temporarily. He also directed others to build houses for those who had families and houses.

However, Tao Zongwang, who was new to the mountain, saw it enthusiastically and immediately showed that he was familiar with how to build a house. He rolled up his sleeves with a shovel and ran aside with Ye Qing, which made the former housekeeper happy.

However, Hu Sanniang had made good friends with Su Jinniang along the way. She didn't want to see her little sister's family living in that wooden house, so she took the five members of the Su family to find her father, so that they could have a place to live.

After a little arrangement of things, Lu Bu, who was tired from the boat, walked home. The people behind him had already dispersed with the newlyweds. Qiao Lie followed beside him in Taoist attire: "Brother is back, I shouldn't bother you." , but there are two things that are really urgent, so I should let my brother know first."

"Since it's an urgent matter, you should tell him as soon as possible." As he moved around, Lu Bu glanced at Qiao Lie and said with a smile, "Brothers, when did we get so separated? Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Brother is not weird, but younger brother should also know the etiquette." Qiao Lie grinned: "For this one thing, a few months ago, a hero named Shan Shiqi from Hedong led nearly a thousand people to the mountain and came together. There are eight more heroes." After a pause, he said: "This Shan Shiqi is not bad in ability, and he is also a distant relative of the navy soldier Shan Jinglong."

"Oh?" Lu Bu turned around and said, "That's a coincidence. I just remember that Shan Jinglong's martial arts skills... um... are not satisfactory?"

"Brother, just say that his martial arts skills are poor." Qiao Lie laughed: "But this distant relative of his has some tricks, and he fought with Coach Lin for forty or fifty years, and Coach Lin also said that his martial arts skills are very strong. Oh... By the way, Two of the eight people he brought are also good, one is Zhu Jing and the other is Lu Hui, both of whom are talented."

"That night, I want to meet you. The more talented people, the better. I don't have enough haters."

The sound of birds chirping came, as if they were disturbed by the footsteps of the two of them, they flew out with fluttering wings and disappeared over their heads.

Lu Bu glanced at the birds in the sky and asked, "What's the other thing?"

"Brother, do you still remember Tian Hu?"

"Remember, there are not many people who dare to rob a certain horse, so I remember this brave person."

Under the sun, the light was a bit scorching. Lu Bu tugged at the hem of his clothes and said, "Why, is this man here to steal the horse again?"

"Brother was joking. If he had the courage, he would never dare to scratch my brother's beard again." Qiao Lie looked at the person in front of him and saw the corner of his mouth raised as he joked again. Knowing that he was in a good mood, he relaxed: " Previously, Pindao sent two spies to find out about his whereabouts due to some reasons. A few days ago, a message came back saying that this man set up a fire and killed the benefactor who took him in, and came to power again. Now he is in the Mingzhou and Xingzhou areas. He is already the leader.”

"Is it the Handan area?"

"Yes, the area east of Cizhou and north of Daming Mansion."

"It doesn't matter, I'll just dance with you, you don't need to pay too much attention." Lu Bu waved his hand and looked at the sparkling water at the foot of the mountain: "Our first priority now is to win over the archipelago." After saying this, he paused: "Deng Fei and Wei Zhaode haven't come back yet?"

Qiao Lie shook his head: "The items he is carrying are complicated, and he is going to open a new trade route, so he can't be so fast."

Lu Bu had no choice but to say, "We can only wait for now." The two chatted briefly, and the man did not disturb his brother's rest too much. He said goodbye and turned around. Lu Bu walked along the mountain road, and soon he saw In the familiar courtyard, the mountain breeze blew slowly along the way. I heard the chirping of various insects and birds in my ears, and the expression on my face suddenly relaxed.

I don't know since when, he also has a home in this strange era, which can give this tired heart a little rest.

At the gate of the courtyard, the maid was waiting eagerly at the door. Seeing the figure appearing on the mountain path, she quickly turned around and ran in. She could hear the shout of "The husband is back!" from a distance.

It seemed to be the same when I returned from the expedition, but my wife was more proactive. She was the one standing at the door... Well, I wonder how Wen'er is doing after being out for such a long time?

With a smile on his face, he strolled into the courtyard, walked all the way to the door and pushed open the door. In the bedroom, Wu Qing's personal maid was walking out. When she saw Lu Bu, she bowed and said, "My husband, you have been working hard all the way." ", and then stepped back with great discernment.

"Your Majesty is back. I am feeding Wen'er and I can't greet her... Oops!" Wu Qingjiao's beautiful face is a little rounded. She is hugging Lu Bu's daughter with a half-undressed shirt. The little girl's hands are curled up and her long nails are scratching. Passing the snow-white "dining table", the little mouth was sucking hard.

I see……

With a look of surprise in his eyes, Lu Bu walked over quietly, gently touched the top of his daughter's head, feeling the softness of the hair, and looked at Wu Qing: "But it hurts?"

The little woman nodded: "Her nails are a little long. She hasn't trimmed them in the past few days. It hurts when she digs them."

Lu Bu blinked, smiled suddenly, and stretched out his big hand: "I'll rub it for you."

"Go!" Wu Qing rolled her eyes at her man: "Don't disturb your daughter's meal."

The man laughed a little, maybe because he was a little full. The little man in his arms looked at him, and suddenly his face changed and he cried. He was so panicked that his face suddenly changed color, and he said dryly: "You haven't done anything yet, why are you crying?"

"My husband won't be at home for a while." Wu Qing coaxed the girl in her arms and took the time to carefully say to the man: "It will be nice to get to know each other in a few days. You don't need to worry about your husband."

"I know." Lu Bu nodded, his expression softened, he knelt down and carefully looked at the little man who was getting quieter, and grinned: "It looks much better than before."

"After all, it's been more than four months." Seeing that Lu Bu wasn't angry, Wu Qing felt a little relieved, and his eyebrows curved up: "Seeing how ugly she looked at the beginning, she turned into such a cute look now, I felt amazing. .”

He stretched out his hand and gently touched his daughter's plump face. Seeing that she was about to cry again, he couldn't help but withdraw his fingers quickly, stood up and put his hands on his hips and said: "When she grows up, someone will teach her martial arts. How can someone's daughter be so immovable?" cry."

Xu Shi saw that his man loved his daughter, and Wu Qing became more courageous. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes at Lu Bu and said, "Don't teach her to be like a husband. It will be difficult for her to get married."

"Haha! Tiger girls are hard to find!"

The man who stood up straight looked at the little man who was getting into his mother's arms, and murmured again: "This time... I will let the world's heroes come to marry Wen'er instead of having to compromise."

Wu Qing looked up at him, hugged her daughter and smiled with a loving smile.

……

In the afternoon, the sun was high and cloudless.

Going to Anle Village in the distance, under the shade of a tree, Bai Sheng was lying on his back on a big bluestone, turning over and over. He was a little sleepy after lunch and wanted to take a nap, but someone came to tell him to play with money. He was just the one these days. At this moment of sheltering from the limelight, I had no choice but to refuse.

However, when he lay down and wanted to sleep, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what. His hands were clasped tightly together, and his mind was filled with the sounds of money playing.

"Straight bitch!"

Turning over and sitting up, Bai Sheng took off his short shirt and wiped the sweat on his face with his clothes. He looked at the fields in the distance in a daze, feeling like someone was calling him over.

"There's nothing wrong with me for so long, so it shouldn't be a problem if I go and have some fun."

Speaking softly, Bai Sheng licked his dry lips, rolled his eyes twice, got up and ran towards his home.

His home was just two thatched houses at the east end of Anle Village. He originally made a lot of money due to his relationship with Chao Gai, but this day rat was best engaged in gambling, and he had no money left at all. Fortunately, his mother-in-law was very hard-working and she could mend clothes and shoe soles every day, so his rat's nest didn't collapse.

It was already past noon, and Mrs. Bai was drawing water from the well and pouring it on the ground. She looked at Bai Sheng from a distance and frowned: "Master, didn't you say you were going out for a walk? Why are you back again?"

"Hmm..." Bai Sheng scratched his head and responded, "Someone told me to go play and come back to get some money."

wow——

"Hey! What are you doing?" A basin of cold water was poured down his face. Bai Sheng wiped his face and pointed at the woman who was taking the basin away and said, "Are you crazy?"

"I think you are crazy!" Mrs. Bai was so angry that she walked over and grabbed Bai Sheng's ears and dragged her into the house: "I have been playing around with money all day long. How much money have been lost by you? How can I marry you?" Can I give you a good day?"

"No... let go first!" Bai Sheng grinned in pain, grabbed his wife's hand and pulled it down hard. His wife was also afraid of really hurting him, so when she saw him exerting force, she naturally let go.

"Hiss—" Bai Sheng rubbed his red ears and took a breath with one eye closed: "Didn't I earn a bag of gold and silver? It doesn't matter if I take some out for fun. What if I win?"

"Who knows where your money came from?" Bai's expression became even worse and her voice rose a little: "You didn't even dare to use it when you got it back. You just buried it in the ground. Do you think I don't know about your money problem?"

Bai Sheng was suddenly startled: "Shhh - keep it down." Seeing the woman's reaction, she looked a little embarrassed, and then said: "Relax, it will be available after a while. Besides, it is safer to bury it."

Seeing that his mother-in-law remained silent, Bai Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "I also want to test it out first. I can use some of this money for gambling and exchange it for something else. No matter how much it is, isn't that the right way to go?"

"That's bullshit! Be careful, you will be caught by the government, and you will be sentenced to gambling in a crowd." Bai Shi rolled his eyes at him, turned around and walked out: "I don't care about your little thoughts, just a little, don't lose everything, otherwise you Don’t even think about going home and having sex!”

"I know, I know."

Seeing this, Bai Sheng knew that his mother-in-law couldn't control him, so he just ignored it. He smiled, quickly dug out the ingot of silver, kicked it into his arms and ran out. (End of chapter)
