Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 18 A toast to my brother!
It was early in the morning again, and Su Wu practiced martial arts as usual, then ate the pancakes that Wu Da brought along, and then went to work.

Li Cheng also became a familiar face in the yamen.

Su Wu was waiting for someone to come. Li Cheng also said that the hunters were going to the city to sell furs today. Dozens of hunters had gathered together and they all wanted to meet Su Dutou in person.

Obviously, the house could not accommodate so many guests, so we had to go to a restaurant, the Lion Restaurant, the best restaurant in the area, and we made reservations early.

The Lion Tower was also the burial place of Ximen Qing in the story.

Su Wu was willing to spend money. In this era, money can be earned again if lost. As long as there are people, there is nothing to worry about.

When it was almost noon, Su Wu went straight to the Lion Tower to wait and arrange wine and food.

Li Cheng was waiting in the yamen, waiting for someone to come and lead the way.

Just after noon, the Lion Tower was packed with people, and there were six or seven tables filled with all kinds of food and drinks.

In front of Su Wu, there was a huge pile of things. There were about sixty or seventy men, and each of them brought a few gifts.

There were dozens of top-quality skins, a large pile of grouse and rabbits, several baskets full of mountain fruits, and several bundles of good straight wood, which they said were to be taken to the yamen by Su Dutou. They were all good materials.

Some can be made into a water and fire killing stick, some can be made into a good spear, and some can even be made into torture instruments.

Even carrying these things down from the mountain is a huge project.

Su Wu did not refuse, but stood up and bowed to everyone: "Thank you, brothers!"

Lin Mao quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "Hey, what are you talking about, these are just worthless things. It would be great if the captain can really use us in the future."

"Yes, Captain, you think highly of us, how can we let you down?"

"Captain, if you want anything from the mountain behind, I will get it for you no matter what."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm just afraid that they won't have any heads left."

"I'm afraid the captain won't talk to us..."

"Sit down, all of you brothers. You are here today because you think highly of me, Su Wu. The wine and food are not plentiful, so please eat and drink well."

Lin Mao was already embarrassed: "When I came here, I said that I was afraid that with so many people, the captain would have to spend money again. As expected, I thought that only a few people would come, but the brothers all wanted to come... Alas, the captain still had to spend money..."

"A meal of wine and food is not worth much money. Haven't you given me so many things?" Su Wu smiled.

"How can this be compared? Even this Lion Tower, I have only passed by and never dared to think about coming in..." Lin Mao looked apologetic.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this between brothers. Let's drink some wine, come!" Su Wu took the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone raised their glasses: "Cheers to the leader!"

Su Wu suddenly waved his hand and said, "Since we are so destined to meet, there is no need to call each other lords. It seems so strange. Just call us brothers. This will make me happier."

Lin Mao was stunned for a moment, turned back to look at everyone, then turned back again, still a little cautious: "Then...how about calling me brother?"

Everyone was also very cautious, fearing that the leader would look down on them and that their words might be rude.

"Good! It couldn't be better! Brothers, let's drink this cup!" Su Wu drank it all in one gulp.

"Let's have a toast, brother!" Lin Mao took the lead in shouting.

Everyone followed suit and shouted, "Let's toast, brother!"

Wu Song just watched and laughed from the side. I wonder how much more refreshing this situation is than the intrigues and intrigues among the so-called heroes in Chai Jin's farm.

Li Cheng on the side was also deeply moved. He felt that his brother really looked up to them, the country hunters.

Su Wu just drank and accepted all the wine. Even if the wine was not full, Su Wu would take a big sip.

Wu Song, who was standing by, also knew how much his brother could drink. When it was almost time, he stepped forward to stop him and just drank one cup after another.

The more he drank, the happier he became, and he kept saying, "It feels so good!"

From childhood to adulthood, it seems that this meal of wine is the most enjoyable one.

By the time noon was over, the scene was still very lively, Su Wu had already fallen asleep on the side. Wu Song was a killer, and Li Cheng didn't drink much, just watching the scene with a slight smile.

Finally, Lin Mao held Wu Song's hand and said, "Tell my brother that I will come again in a few days. Otherwise, we will go back and prepare. When my brother is free, we will invite him to the mountains."

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to my brother when he wakes up." Wu Song was also about 70% drunk.

"Then let's go back. The road is still long. We will get home at dusk, and the mountain road is difficult to travel at night..." Lin Mao pulled and persuaded him to go back.

"Okay, okay. Just be careful on the road, brothers." Wu Song escorted Su Wu out.

Just wait for everyone to leave.

Li Cheng was supporting the half-asleep Su Wu on his left, and was about to support Wu Song on his right.

Wu Song waved his hand and said, "I have never been drunk before."

Wu Song wanted to walk by himself, and he was able to do so, but he was a little hesitant.

Su Wu woke up faintly: "Go home, go home!"

"Okay." Li Cheng replied.

When the three of them got home, a young woman hurried to boil some water, brought it to them, and also got a towel for her master.

Su Wu sat up with his eyes blurred, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Dong Huan..." timidly said.

"No surname?" Su Wu asked again.

"No……"

The real miserable people at the bottom of society don’t even know who their parents are, so where did they get their surnames from?
"Then let's call it Su..." Su Wu also had a big tongue.

"Thank you, master, for giving me your surname." The girl knelt down and bowed.

"Well, okay... come, help me wipe it." Su Wu leaned crookedly on the seat.

The timid girl seriously picked up the towel and went forward to wipe it.

Wu Song was standing by and said, "It's not that troublesome. Just get a bucket of water and pour it over your body..."

Li Cheng laughed at the side: "Brother is different from you..."

Wu Song fetched water to water himself, exposing most of his muscular body.

Li Cheng even went to help him carry water...

After finishing, without caring about anything else, Su Wu lay down on the couch in the hall first, and Wu Song followed suit. The two of them lay on a small table across the couch, one on the left and one on the right, and fell into a deep sleep.

Li Cheng sat aside, grinning foolishly, while the little cook was busy running around and cleaning up.

It seems that this is how the days of the Song Dynasty went on.

When Su Wu opened his eyes again, it was already night. He stood up and looked at the sky. It had been a while since night fell, and Wu Song was still sleeping soundly beside him.

Obviously, Wu Song drank much more than Su Wu.

Su Wu felt a slight breeze coming, and his body shivered. He felt a little chilly, so he went to the door and said, "Xiaocheng, bring me some bedding."

Li Cheng was in the yard. He nodded and went to get it.

Then I heard a slight sound, a creak...

Su Wu raised his head slightly to look...

A huge figure fell from the sky and landed steadily in the courtyard.
