Water Margin Survival

It was gray and bright.

Stretching his limbs, Wang Lun stepped out of Du Qian's house.Feeling that the air outside the house is fresh and pleasant, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.But not far away, old man Li was chatting with instructor Zhang, Wang Lun stepped forward to greet the two old men, and said with a smile: "Last night I chatted with Brother Du Qian for half the night, and the noisy old man rested!"

When Mr. Li saw this, he said angrily: "Look at what you said, it's nothing! The village owner can come and rest, and make the small house flourish! It's just that my baby didn't disturb the village owner when he was crying in the middle of the night? "

Wang Lun laughed, and said straightly: "Your family is now three generations under the same roof, but the juniors are very envious, so it's good to be a little bit happy!" Hearing this, Old Man Li immediately burst into a happy smile, and straightened his face. The wrinkles on his face deepened.

Du Qian became a father at this time, and Mrs. Li gave birth to him a cute and cute daughter not long ago.Although he was not the son Du Qian had been looking forward to, he made this professional strongman who had just become a father very happy. During this period of time, he saw everyone with a smile on his face, and he looked at Song Wan, who was still a bachelor. Eyes hot.

It is said that after Mr. Li had a knife in his old house, his body recovered very well. Now that there is a baby in the family, Du Qian is going to ask a few stable women to come and help. Take this granddaughter at home.Du Qian couldn't help it, and was afraid that the old man would be exhausted, so he had to call his brother-in-law who lived in the military camp back to live with him, so that he could help him in case of trouble.At this time, the family was permeated with a strong family atmosphere, which intoxicated Du Qian, who was used to being lonely.

Wang Lun and Mr. Li had a laughing chat, then turned to Lin Chong's father-in-law, Instructor Zhang. He was holding a big broom in his hand, listening to Wang Lun and Mr. Li's chat with a smile. Hey, seeing Wang Lun looking over, he hurriedly whispered to Coach Zhang, "Take a rest, old man, these are the jobs of our juniors, village master... village master..." As he spoke, he peeped at Wang Lun's face uneasily. complexion.

Instructor Zhang laughed loudly, and said loudly: "I'm getting old, if I don't move any more, my old bones are stiff, and then I don't want to bother Dr. An again? Nephew, don't blame them, it's the old man who wants to clean this place by himself." Yard!"

In the past year, [-] or [-] households have moved in to this family compound located in the back mountain. Compared with the cold fire and autumn smoke in those years, I don't know how many times more lively.Hearing Lin Chong chatting that his father-in-law was a bit restless in the past, Wang Lun dispatched fifty young men and asked Coach Zhang to organize them to undertake the security work in the family's yard.Instructor Zhang was also happy to agree. Sweeping snow in winter and sprinkling water in summer are indispensable to meet people and ask their relatives. Parents are very busy.

"Son! What are you doing standing there? Come to eat at home!" At this time, a mother-in-law came out from the opposite room and suddenly saw Wang Lun standing in the yard. She was overjoyed and couldn't help but greeted her loudly.

"Old lady, don't be too busy! Jiao Ting has already gone to the kitchen to get food!" Seeing that it was Sanruan's mother, Wang Lun hurriedly saluted.

"The things in the kitchen are only heavy, but what's the smell? Come here, it's often the old lady's handicrafts!" The mother-in-law didn't agree, so she stepped forward to drag Wang Lun into the house for dinner.

Ruan Xiaoer's wife saw the commotion outside and went out to watch, when a little monkey jumped out from behind her. Seeing that grandma was only trying to persuade Wang Lun to enter the house, the child also ran to help, pulling on Wang Lun's coat vigorously.

At this moment, Jiao Ting came back from the kitchen with his food. Seeing the situation in front of him, he stood and watched with a silly smile on his face. Wang Lun said with a smile, "Old lady, this has already been called back. It would be a waste if you don't eat it!"

But I heard Coach Zhang laughing at the side: "No waste, no waste! My family won't do it today, just eat Jiao Ting's hands!" Jiao Ting was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, nodding his head again and again.

Wang Lun couldn't see what this man was thinking, he probably wanted to go to Lin Chong's house again and meet that little Jin'er!Immediately he laughed, and said: "I'll go back first, I'll tell Jiao Ting a few words, and then I'll be back!"

Seeing this, the mother-in-law let go, smiled and held her grandson in her arms, and said, "Go, set the table and chopsticks for your uncle!" As soon as she finished speaking, the mother-in-law looked at Mr. Li and Teacher Zhang and smiled. Immediately, he took his grandson back to the house.Du Qian's wife is still recuperating, so there is no cooking in the family, and three meals a day are eaten in the kitchen.Mr. Li felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't say anything right now, so he just exchanged a few words with everyone, and then went back.

"I asked Brother Du Qian yesterday. I have saved more than 5000 yuan in my private account in the cottage. If you are free, go and withdraw all the money and give one hundred yuan to each of the brothers who want to go down. , it is also my heart!" Wang Lun instructed Jiao Ting.

Jiao Tingjian said: "Brother, how much do I have in my account? Also bring it up and distribute it to the brothers who are leaving. You have been with Brother for a year, it's hard work!"

"You went up the mountain early, so you should have about [-] to [-] guan! Anyway, since you have the heart, you can bring out [-] guan, and the two will be combined into one, and it will be distributed in your name!" Lun thought for a while and replied.

"Why did my brother mention everything, but I only mention one thousand guan?" Jiao Ting said sullenly.

"Why? You don't want to marry Xiao Jin'er anymore?" Wang Lun said with a smile, "Let's keep the rest, find a good date, and I'll propose marriage for you!"

Jiao Ting smiled innocently and nodded embarrassedly. Coach Zhang stood aside and said with a smile: "My Jin'er is not that delicate, as long as Jiao Ting's sincerity is enough!"

Wang Lun laughed, bowed his hands to Coach Zhang, and walked into Sanruan's room.Jiao Ting's face was dry, and suddenly he broke the words. When he looked at Coach Zhang again, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Coach Zhang shook his head and smiled, handed the broom to the two minions behind him, and pulled Jiao Ting back. house went.

When Wang Lun had dinner at Ruan's house and bid farewell to his old lady, when he came out of the house, he bumped into the little Wen Hou Lu Fang and Sai Rengui Guo Sheng who had come to look for him. He's still getting used to it. Compared with when we first met yesterday, this man's arrogance has been restrained a lot. Seeing Wang Lun's questioning, he even said he's used to it.Wang Lun nodded, chatted with him a few words, and then got down to business:

"The two of you ask someone to notify all the leaders who are at home. After an hour, go to the Juyi Hall to discuss matters. Just invite the six leaders who went up the mountain yesterday to meet everyone! Brother Li Jun is injured, so he will not go for the time being. Just ask Tong Wei and Tong Meng brothers to show their faces, and Li Jun must be surrounded by people to take care of him!"

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng quickly nodded in agreement, turned around and prepared to go.Wang Lun went back to his room to visit Li Jun for a while, then went out and called three military advisers, and they went to the Juyi Hall together. The man smiled and chatted, but saw Zhu Gui rushing in, and seeing Wang Lun here, hurried forward to report: "An old man in his 50s came down from the mountain, and he said that he would give the village owner a great fortune! "

Hearing Zhu Gui's words, Wang Lun couldn't help laughing, what kind of god is this?Asked: "What kind of person is it?"

"Although he is dressed in commoner clothes, it is hard to hide his official air. The aura of his gestures is not comparable to that of an ordinary county magistrate. I guess he is not young. I dare not make any claims. I came up to the mountain to report to my brother. This person temporarily invites him to go down the mountain. The hotel is waiting!" Zhu Gui replied.

Wang Lun shook his head and smiled, turned his head to look at the several military advisers in the hall, and heard Huanzhang laughing and said: "This is strange, please invite people in first, and listen to what he has to say!"

Seeing that Wang Lun also nodded slightly, Zhu Gui bowed his hands to the crowd, turned around and went out.Not long after, I saw Zhu Gui leading a man wearing a cloth hood into the living room, and when the two of them came forward, Zhu Gui took off the hood on his head, apologized, and invited him to the guest seat After sitting down, a young man came forward and offered tea.

Taking advantage of this time, when all the leaders in the hall looked at this visitor, they saw that he was of medium build, with a square and steady face with Chinese characters, and two silkworm eyebrows slanted into the temples. Seeing that this person was in the tiger's den, his complexion was still calm, and he could not help Angry and majestic, it seems that the kung fu of nourishing qi is really extraordinary.

Wang Lun looked back at Wen Huanzhang, thinking that this chief military adviser had lived in seclusion in the capital for many years, and had often walked around the palaces of important officials in the court. people.

However, I heard that Huanzhang looked at this person carefully once, and felt that he had seen him somewhere, but he was a little uncertain. After thinking for a long time, he still shook his head. Wang Lun nodded and said, "I don't know if your Excellency came to Xiaozhai. , what advice do you have?"

The official sat upright at the guest table, neither arrogant nor humble, and said, "I wonder who is Lin Chong, the head of the forbidden army? Who is the righteous man in the field who showed his power in Huangzhou and defeated the bandits?"

Wang Lun smiled playfully, and said back to him, "Coach Lin is not here now!" The man asked Lin Chong and Xiao Jiasui when he opened his mouth, and immediately reminded Wang Lun of Wang Chen, whom he had met once.

"Could you not be the King of Loyalty and Justice, Wang Lun, a gentleman in white?" the official asked again.

"The gentleman in white is Xiao Ke! I don't know what advice the gentleman has?" Wang Lun said with a faint smile.

"I'm begging you to retreat, the old man has a confidential matter to tell! If it's convenient, I'd like to invite Instructor Lin and Huangzhou righteous men to come out and meet with me!" the official said humanely.

"It's okay, here are all confidantes, please speak up if you have something to do!" Wang Lun leaned back in the chair slightly, and did not answer him.

The official smiled when he heard the words, and didn't say anything else, but complimented: "It's better to be famous than to meet, and to meet is worse than to be famous! Today I can see the tiger's prestige, three lives are lucky!"

Seeing that he was just going around in circles, Wang Lun smiled slightly, thanked him with fists cupped, and said something appropriate to the occasion.After the official returned the gift, he didn't say anything, he just raised his eyes and looked around the hall, and finally stared at the plaque with four gold characters "Walk for the Heaven" written on it in the lobby, and said: "I have heard that the leader of the king is He is a hero of loyalty, with two thousand fine cavalry in his hands, and he is supported by a general like Coach Lin, I have admired the king for a long time!"

"Your Excellency Duo Meng loves you wrongly. Wang Lun is just a failed scholar. He fell down in Tokyo back then, but he didn't deserve to be praised by his father-in-law! If you have any advice, please let me know!" Wang Lun said with a smile.

The official smiled, and before he could speak, he saw that Huanzhang suddenly came to his senses, and said, "Is your Excellency a relative of the Duke of Tokyo?"

Hearing this, the official glanced at Wen Huanzhang in surprise, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and finally admitted: "That's right, Hubuhou Shangshu is the elder brother of this old man! I don't know your surname and name!"

Wen Huanzhang smiled and said, "I have admired him for a long time! Sure enough, I look a little like Hou Shangshu! Xiao Kewen Huanzhang, when I was in Tokyo, I had a few encounters with Hou Shangshu!" Immediately, he whispered to Wang Lun: "This person must be Hou Fa, and he is the brother of Hou Meng, the Minister of the Household Department of the dynasty!"

No wonder it made me look familiar but couldn't recognize him. I don't want to be Hou Meng's younger brother.I heard that this person used to be an official in Liangzhe, and was already the prefect of a prefecture many years ago. It is a bit strange to come to Jingdong, which is out of reach at this time.

Hou Meng?

Wang Lun was no stranger to this name.Isn't this person the one who wrote a letter to the Zhao official family in history, wanting to recruit Song Jiang's officials?Why did his younger brother come to Liangshan at this time?Could it be...

Just when Wang Lun was deep in thought, Hou Fa was also a little surprised at this moment. He had heard of Wen Huanzhang in the past. He saw that Liangshan Bozhu had a sensible person sitting next to him, so he stopped playing around in circles now. He only heard him laugh loudly, looked at Wang Lun and said: "To be honest, the old man came here to give the king a fortune!" (To be continued.)
