Water Margin Survival

After getting drunk that night, two things happened to Liang Shanbo before New Year's Eve.

The first thing was that the two fleets headed to Jeju Island returned to the cottage and brought good news. The apprentice Wang Lun had taken in not long ago was gradually recovering, which indicated that things were going in a good direction.

The second thing was that Wang Qing's envoy, Ma Qiang, came to the village again, and it was inevitable that it would be another reception banquet. Fortunately, it was the Chinese New Year at this time, so we were not afraid of the excitement, but the lack of excitement.

Another thing that is not a big deal is that the old lady of Sanxiong Ruan heard that such a beautiful girl came to the cottage, and she also heard the story of Wang Lun's gaffe in front of her from Xiao Er and Xiao Wu. At night, they used the pretext of visiting Cheng Wan'er's nanny's illness, and made indirect inquiries.

Wang Lun was scared, and he basically didn't show his face in the room. That's it, the leaders still came to talk in an endless stream. Unfortunately, Wang Lun just didn't let go. Spectrum.

According to his thinking from modern people, the premise of the combination of two people is the need to have feelings, not the popular matchmaker's words in this era. The two have never met each other, so they have to live together and gradually cultivate their feelings.This model is unacceptable to Wang Lun.Maybe he will endure it and endure it until one day in the future he will compromise, but now he still intends to persist for a while.

There is also a huge gap in the identities of the other two people. One is the precious daughter of the magistrate's family, and the other is the king of the mountain.Cheng Wanli would happily marry his precious daughter to a gangster unless his skull was broken.certainly.Wang Lun is determined to save Cheng Wan'er's family from being destroyed, and he also has the strength now.Even though there is a famous general in Xiqing Mansion, Wang Ting.It's a pity that Wang Lun doesn't shy away from robbing money and food, but he just can't do things like robbing women.

After thinking about this, Wang Lun felt at ease. Now that there was no obvious purpose, his behavior became more sincere and frank. Sanwu and An Daoquan went to see the patient's condition, and chatted with Cheng Wan'er from time to time. I was really attracted by many aspects of this stunning beauty in front of me.It made me speak my heart that I would never confide in others before.

This feeling is very strange, at least Wang Lun thinks so.

"You worthless prodigal, why did I give birth to you? Tell me! You're mad at me!" The yelling and cursing from outside the door made Wang Lun withdraw his thoughts, and he pushed the door open and went out alone. Jiao Ting ran away again after nothing happened. After entering Lin Chong's house, Wang Lun suddenly felt that it was a happy thing to be able to meet, love and stay together, so he was very anxious about completing the first two steps.He provided all-round unconditional support and encouraged him to go to Jin Er if he had nothing to do.

When Wang Lun walked out of the house, the yelling and scolding outside had escalated into beating and scolding. Wang Lun saw that he hurried forward to dissuade him. It turned out that Ma Xiong's father who stayed in the cottage was teaching his son, and Ma Xiong couldn't stand the slightest anger outside.At this time, in front of the old man, he was as docile as a sheep.

"Calm down, calm down, those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, don't get angry!" Wang Lun hurriedly grabbed the old man Ma Xie together with the other leaders who went out to check.Good advice.

"Brother, tell him to beat him. If he doesn't beat me, he will feel uncomfortable, and if he feels uncomfortable, he will get sick. It's better to ask him to beat me to relieve my breath!" Ma Xie knelt on the ground and did not get up, but persuaded Wang Lun. .

"He won't feel sorry for beating you, and you didn't pick it up! Talk nonsense, come, sit in my room and talk about it!" Wang Lun is the host, and these two are guests. You can't see their father and son face each other on New Year's Eve I don't care if I'm disabled, it's okay, and there is still some time before the reunion dinner in the evening, so it's better to ask clearly.

Father Ma Xie had no temper in front of Wang Lun, and he kept complaining to Wang Lun, saying what was wrong with his son. Wang Lun persuaded the father and son to come in, Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui also followed, five people Sitting by the brazier, old Ma Xie began to criticize his son:

"Since he was a child, he was not good for anything. If he was told to study, he would not read. If he was asked to have a teacher, he scolded others and ran away, saying that he couldn't teach such a bad student. Later, when he was older, he stole the house and ran outside. I don't know what to do. In the end, I took my younger brother out of Ke, and came back after learning a whole body of martial arts. I said yes, I can bear the fear and fear these years, and I will tell him to make progress, and he will be worthy of this skill! The two useless ones went away arrogantly, and came back disheartened, I, I wish I could..."

After listening to it for a long time, Wang Lun realized that these things were all old things. It is said that they have already accepted the reality in his heart. Why did he suddenly beat and scold his son again on New Year's Eve?

Ma Xie didn't say a word, and he didn't make any excuses. The old man got more and more angry as he watched him, and he kept on cursing for half an hour. Wang Lun, Xiao Jiasui, and Xu Guanzhong looked at each other. Knowing that the old man scolded more and more vigorously, he didn't drink water or pant halfway, it seemed that An Daoquan had completely cured his illness this time.

"Old man, drink your saliva first, rest your breath, after all, you have just recovered from your illness, and you just went out to relax..." Xu Guanzhong handed a cup of hot tea to the old man.

This old man has lived in the cottage for more than half a year. It can be said that he watched Xu Guanzhong go up the mountain and his status in the cottage increased day by day. Iron doesn’t make steel!”

"Why do you hate iron for being weak? Why don't my two brothers treat you like this?" Ma Xie was scolded for a long time, and it was the first time he spoke up.

The old man became angry when he heard it, and said: "You say you, if you can't succeed in writing, you can't achieve martial arts. What will you plan in the future? I close my eyes and die clean. You don't need to worry about anything, but you two need to make me worry. When will it be? Your mother left so early, I don’t even know who to talk to!” The old man wiped his eyes, and tears trickled down between his fingers.

When Ma Xie saw it, his heart softened again, and he begged: "If you have something to say, just say it directly, I don't even know how I disobeyed you, old man!"

"You asked me to tell you?" the old man looked at his son and asked.

"I said it! Just say what you say, I mean what I say!" Ma Xie said, patting his chest.

"Okay, call your brother over here. I'll let go of this old face, and beg for mercy with Village Master Wang. Take you two useless people!" The old man suddenly stood up and said.

As soon as the old man's words fell, everyone in the audience was shocked. Wang Lun thought that the Ma brothers were indeed rare heroes. Liang Shan also welcomed them very much, but he didn't use curves to save the country. Who was blowing in his ears? The wind, could it be his three military advisers?

Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui were also surprised, wondering if it was because their elder brother tried something to make it impossible.The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw an expression on each other's faces: inexplicable.

Ma Xie looks reckless, but he has the inner beauty of a Jinghu man, and his first reaction is to wonder if Liang Shanbo has done his work, and his eyes unconsciously glance at Wang Lun.

"Look at this, do you still suspect that I have never sent a message to someone else? Now you understand that I begged the village master Wang to accept you two useless people. It wasn't the village master Wang who asked me to let you go up the mountain. I was so sick back then. You didn't take advantage of others and forced you to go up the mountain, how dare you? You really take yourself seriously!" Lao Tzu scolded his son with extremely sharp words.The mood is extremely licking the calf.

Ma Xie lowered his head, thinking that it was true, although he was quite conceited in martial arts, but he could not count the leaders like him on Liangshan Mountain with two hands, and Wang Lunruo wanted to go up the mountain by himself.There are tens of thousands of ways, there is no need to do this.Besides, my father scolded me for half an hour just now.It turned out that it was just foreshadowing, just to lead out the next words, it really didn't look like being instructed by someone.

"Father, I've already made an agreement with President Wang. A man can always say what he says, so how can he change as he says? How can you get a foothold in the arena if you call him like this! Don't talk about the two boys of the Ma family, and don't cast aside them. Die!" Ma Xie said with a bitter face.

"I don't care about that, I just want to ask you, how about Wang Mengzhu, or Wang Zhaizhu?" the old man asked.

How should Ma Xie answer this question? He said that Zhaizhu Wang is a villain who can't flatter in person, and that his father is afraid of being angry to death, so he had no choice but to say to Xini, "All... yes!"

"Okay, okay, your wings are hard! I don't care about you, let me ask you again, is the leader of the Wang alliance or the leader of the Wang village?" The old man stood up this time and stared at his son.

Ma Xie was in a dilemma, Wang Lun couldn't stand it any longer, he stood up and said, "Daddy, I'll call you Daddy, I don't think so!"

"Wang Zhaizhu, what's the matter, my old man has been here for almost a year, eating your food, drinking your food, and calling a doctor to see a doctor. I wish I had a son like you!" At this point, the old man burst into tears again , sobbing: "The two of them are useless, even if they fall into the grass, they can't follow the right person. With Wang Qing, sooner or later their family will be ruined. I haven't lived for a few years. I don't care about these, but the two of them are still young. , the family failed, and I will follow Wang Qing in the future..."

The old man was sobbing at the end, he pulled his horse and said, "Son, I told you to throw yourself into Liangshan, nothing else, at least your brothers will have a good death with Wang Zhaizhu, even if I die, I can close my eyes! I don't want to die!" I think you have a future with Wang Qing, but you are afraid that you will be sold to someone else and count the money for others. I have seen Wang Qing that time, but he is just a lip service. Even offering him as a bodhisattva, let me tell you, such a person, compared with Lord Wangzhai..."

"Drink, drink!" Wang Lun quickly handed over a cup of tea. If the old man continued, not only Ma Xie couldn't stand it, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he interrupted the old man's words.

The old man took the water but didn't drink it, he just pulled Wang Lun and said, "Master Wang, tell me the truth, can my two sons do it!"

"It's okay, I didn't know them at the beginning, and the two sons are indomitable heroes!" Wang Lun said truthfully, and he really thought so in his heart.

"Well, my two sons have thrown themselves into the mountains, do you want it or not!" the old man said relentlessly.

"They came here voluntarily, so what else is there to say? The key is..." Before Wang Lun could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old man, who pulled his son and said, "Kneel down!"

Ma Xie had no choice but to kneel down in front of Wang Lun. Wang Lun's two military advisers hurried forward to stop him, saying, "Sit down and talk if you have something to say!"

Seeing this, the old man didn't insist, and said: "Please explain clearly, whether you will come or not! If you don't come, I have no idea, just jump into the eight hundred miles of water and feed the fish!"

Forced by his father, Ma Xie said excitedly, "I don't know that Zhaizhu Wang is better than Mengmengzhu Wang, I don't know that Liangshan is better than Fangshan, I don't know what is called future? I'm just a scoop? But in In some things, people can't be too smart. The water that was thrown out by the words can't be taken back! Ye Lao wants me to vote for Liangshan today. If I don't keep it clean, what kind of mountain will I vote for in the future? What kind of person will I be by then! To force me like that is to force me to be unrighteous, if my son is unrighteous, what face does he have to live in this world!"

Hearing what Ma Xie said, Wang Lun secretly admired it in his heart, he didn't expect this man to understand it when he saw it, and it really didn't match his rough appearance.

"I gave birth to the two of you. Isn't it better than you two? Why do you vote for this today and which one will you vote for tomorrow? I asked you to vote for Wang Qing? At the beginning, I thought he was not a down-to-earth person. At that time, I said you two You guys still don’t listen! Don’t you think so! Can someone like Zhaizhu Wang be found second in the world? Even if I could, I wouldn’t say that again!” the old man said angrily.

Ma Xie scolded him speechless again, and kept his head down.The old man was angry, so he grabbed the red-hot charcoal in the basin with his hands. Wang Lun had sharp eyes and hurriedly pulled the old man back. Seeing this, Ma Xie shouted, "Father, what are you going to do!"

"I grabbed some carbon and burned my eyes blind, so as not to see your future fate!" Panting heavily, the old man held Wang Lun's hand and said, "I... I don't care about him, I don't care about him. He Wherever I like to go, I will die in Liangshan even if I die. You...don't despise me!"

"No, stay for as long as you want!" Wang Lun said, patting the old man on the back.Seeing this, the old man nodded heavily, pointed at the horse and said, "You, you, go back to Wang Qing's place! I risk two sons like you, and call me to die in a foreign land!"

Ma Xie slumped down on the ground and remained silent for a while, Wang Lun, Xiao Jiasui, and Xu Guanzhong were sandwiched between the two father and son, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he could only pick up some irrelevant words, at this moment Jiao Ting came back, and said, "Brother, It's time to have a reunion dinner!"

When Ma Xie heard the word reunion, the eight-foot-tall man burst into tears like water, crying heartbreakingly: "If I don't have me, what's the point of living? If you vote, I will take you to stay on Liangshan!"

The old man was almost out of breath, but luckily he was supported by Wang Lun. He wanted to scold Ma Xie but couldn't for a while, so he just pointed his finger at Ma Xie, trembling all over. After dinner, my son will let him rest here for a while!"

"Master Wang, you don't care about me, don't delay your happy event in the village because of me, I'm right here, talk to him!" The old man finally held back for a long time, begging.

After all, it was the father and son, Wang Lun had no other choice but to persuade him: "My good man, no matter what the future holds for Ma Xie, you can stay in my cottage for as long as you want!"

The old man just nodded, Wang Lun persuaded Ma Xie a few more words, and then led Jiao Ting to go out with the two military advisers. The old man watched Wang Lun and the others go away, closed the door, and said earnestly: "My boy! Listen to me A word of persuasion, I won't harm you, you don't know, I lived in this village for more than half a year, and I saw no more things than you, the master of Wangzhai has nothing to say, you won't suffer by following him, what kind of person is Wang Qing, just kidding In the past, no one could compare with the style of skin, and he looked like a dog, but with a real face, he showed his face!"

"Father, I know what you said, why do you want me to go to Liangshan?" Ma Xie was very puzzled.

Just now he beat and scolded and scolded, the old man had no energy to toss about, leaning on the chair, he said slowly:

"A few days ago, I was in a hurry, and I was walking on the shore alone. I saw big boats coming in and out of the water, and I asked people where I was going. At first, no one said anything, so I went to see Dr. An. , he is a real person, and he didn't hide it from me, so he said he was going to an island overseas. I'm old, so I haven't seen anything? But I haven't seen what it looks like overseas, and I don't know if there are any gods, so I begged He asked me to go out to sea to have a look, go with the boat, and come back with the boat, Miracle Doctor An is really a good person, this incident did not alarm others, he went to tell the leader of their navy, and he really let me take the boat!"

The old man talked for a long time, but Ma Xie didn't understand what he meant, he wondered, "Does it matter?"

"Don't make noise, listen to me!" The old man drank, and then continued: "I have been at sea for almost ten days, and I really came to a place where the leader of the navy named Ruan Xiaoqi really took care of me. , I asked my subordinates to take me around, I don’t know if I don’t turn around, and I turn my heart away once I turn around, what I’m most worried about in my life is the future of the two of you, I always think this is something illusory, can’t see I can't catch it, but I saw it with my own eyes that day!"

"What did you see?" Ma Xie asked in confusion.

"Have you seen me? I have seen tens of thousands of people begging for life there, and each family has a hundred acres of land. By the way, there are cattle! I also met two hunters in the mountains, just like you. Two brothers. Now they are both dignified. Tell me, what am I trying to do all my life? It’s not because you two are promising, why can’t I tell you..." After finishing speaking, the old man hugged Crying with a headache.

Ma Xie also covered her tears and said: "Father, there are some things I really can't do. Today I betrayed others. Tomorrow, people betrayed me. If I really betrayed, Village Master Wang will look down on me. This matter, I really can't rely on you!"

The old man knew his son too well, the more flatly he spoke, the less discussion he had.Immediately, he had no choice but to cry bitterly: "Why are you so stupid, babe..."

"Father, let's go back!" Ma Xie begged.

"You go, I said, I will die here!" The old man's heart also died, his face was extremely pale.It seems that he has aged a few years for a while.

Ma Xie saw that his liver and gallbladder were torn, he leaned back, lay on the cold stone bricks, looked at the roof and said: "Then just follow what I said just now, I will not vote on either side. Farewell. Come and take care of you, I don't want my cottage, I don't want anything..."

……

Wang Lun and the two military advisers walked on the road, and they both had a tacit understanding and didn't mention what happened just now.But not mentioning it does not mean that everyone has no thoughts in their hearts.

At least Xiao Jiasui was meditating in his heart at this moment, this matter is really not as simple as what Ma Xie's father thought just now, but just thinking about his son's future.At least this matter involved the relationship between the two major forces. At the beginning, I personally participated in my cottage to gain muscle with Wang Qingliang. The situation was so tense at that time that the two sides almost got involved.If the two brothers Ma Xie came over this time, it's really hard to say what the relationship between the two parties will be like.What's more, with Ma Xie's personality, even if he came here, he would still be unable to think about it. This is probably the main reason why Wang Lun's attitude is not clear.After all, this cottage is full of beheaded and bloody brothers who are willing to go up the mountain. They have never forced a person who does not want to go up the mountain to go up the mountain, even if the person who forced him is not himself, but someone else's father.

"Brother, wait, little brother!" At this time, Du Qian came from the small road and shouted.

"Where's your wife?" Wang Lun asked when he saw Du Qian coming alone.This reunion dinner is like no other, family members must participate.

"The old ladies are grinding and chirping, come here later!" Du Qian said with a smile.

"In front of our little sister-in-law, do you dare to say it again?" Xu Guanzhong joked.

"Isn't she not here!" Du Qian laughed.

Wang Lun shook his head and smiled, looked at the full moon in the sky, and sighed: "There are still many brothers who have not come back outside, otherwise it would be so lively to have a meal together!"

"Yes! Zou Yuan is in Yizhou, guarding our silver mines. Lehe is in Tokyo, acting as our eyes and watching every move of the court. Zhu Fu and Yang Lin went down the mountain to pick up Guan Sheng and Shan Tinggui. , Wei Dingguo and their family members have gone, and Mr. Wen is on Jeju Island with many brothers, it’s only one minute away!" Xiao Jiasui pulled his thoughts away from other people's family affairs and sighed.

"At least they have a letter, and the separation is temporary. What I'm thinking about now is Master Guanghui. I have been to Xixia for so long, two full years, and there is no news at all. I hope nothing will happen to him!" Wang Lun sighed, Because he came to this world, Guanghui escaped from the fate of being a human bun, but Wang Lun couldn't help worrying after not showing up for so long, won't he be pulled back by the strong inertia of fate?

"An auspicious person has his own destiny. God told him to meet his elder brother. If he escapes this catastrophe, he will surely survive a catastrophe and have future blessings. Let's wait a little longer, maybe we will be able to wait for him!" Xiao Jiasui persuaded road.

"Well, let's say something auspicious during the Chinese New Year. I hope that Master Guanghui will be able to drink and eat meat with us next year!" Wang Lun nodded.

"You all forgot that there are four more brothers!" Du Qian said pedantically. "Fei Bao, a red-bearded dragon, Ni Yun, a curly-haired tiger, Buqing, a Yangzi Jiao, and Dicheng, a thin-faced Xiong. If these four heroes know that we have no conscience, they will have to drink them!" Du Qian laughed.

"It's not that I forgot about them, but that they are coming back soon. The cottage has already received their letter. It is estimated that Ni Yun will come back early in three to five days!" Wang Lun said with a smile.

"Brother, let me tell you what you sent them to do. You are so mysterious, so don't tell me!" Du Qian complained.

"When Ni Yun came back, he knew whether the thing I asked them to do had any clues. If it was successful, it would be a big leap forward for my cottage. If it was not successful, it would be useless to talk about it!" Wang Lun shook his head and laughed.

"Forget it, I won't ask any more, I hope they will come back soon!" Du Qian sighed, paused for a while, and couldn't help saying: "Brother, our family has a big business now, and the cottage spends money like water, you have to Think of a way for the younger brother!"

"You know how to force me!" Wang Lun spread his hands and said, "Foreign debts on the night of New Year's Eve, you better do it!"

Du Qian laughed loudly, and said: "I will force anyone who has the ability! Besides, if I don't force you, brother, the brothers who ask me for money every day can force me to death! I gave them the money, and they might still say it behind my back. I am an iron rooster, I can't pull a hair out!"

"Where you can save it, save it. If you can't save it, you must not save it! For example, the brothers' pensions, even if the cottage sells iron, you can't default on them. This is the foundation of our cottage, and it must not be shaken." Wang Lun said seriously.

"I know, I know, this little brother is quite aware of this matter. For example, this time the Shanzhai was fighting in Yunzhou, financially it was not confiscated at all. Except for horses, armor, knives and guns, the total amount of money was only tens of thousands. I It is said that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, why did Master Guan only bring such a small amount of money when he went out to fight!" Du Qian said in a rather distressed tone.

"Field battles are like this. You think every time is a siege battle, you can get a lot of gains!" Wang Lun said angrily: "Guan Sheng is a brother of the Shanzhai, you should pay attention to what you say, don't hurt your family's kindness !"

"It's nothing else, just a little joke! But brother, to be honest, it's better to fight less such battles. This time the cottage has lost a lot, and the pension has not been confiscated!" Du Qian nodded.

"It's not a question of whether I want to fight or not. It's because the imperial court forced you to fight!" Wang Lun sighed and said, "So that thing must be sold as soon as possible, otherwise batch after batch of people will come over and consume energy." bother us!"

Both Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui took it for granted, but it was impossible for news from Hedong and Jiangnan to come so quickly. They just found an urgent opportunity. The distance between these two places was too far, so it was really a big problem whether they could grasp it for a while.It is believed that Wang Lun has been worrying about this matter all the time, and the two of them couldn't bear to point it out again, which made Wang Lun feel anxious.

The five people stood in front of the Juyi Hall and talked for a while. Wang Lun went in to have a look, and saw that there were still a few people who hadn't come. He found Song Wan from the crowd and told him, "Cheng Wan'er's family finally found our cottage, and they stayed here again." To celebrate the New Year here, you can make a good meal and send it to others, which is also a little thought from our cottage!"

"Dele, I got it, they are absolutely indispensable! Brother, don't worry, I will send it there myself, and I will definitely bring my brother's heart!" Song Wan laughed.

"It's Shanzhai's intention!" Wang Lun corrected.

Song Wan laughed, and said goodbye to Wang Lun, but after taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "The old man was going to send Miss Cheng home, but I don't know why Miss Cheng didn't leave, I think brother still wants to go." Take this opportunity!"

"I know about this. It's not like what you said. The old man wants to send Miss Cheng, but he is worried that Xiaohuan won't be able to take care of her mother in the village alone. If Miss Cheng goes back alone, the road will not be safe... "Wang Lun felt wrong while talking, and said: "Do I need to explain to you, go!"

Song Wan laughed, and slipped faster than mice, and immediately called a few men to deliver food to the Juyi Hall, selected a few good dishes, and called them to go to the backyard with him, not long after, the pedestrians Going straight to Cheng Wan'er's house, Song Wan knocked on the door and said, "The reunion dinner is here, please open the door!"

Not long after, Miss Cheng opened the door, and Song Wan approached with a straight face, and said, "Miss, we met before, remember that I hung up lanterns at the foot of the mountain that day! No, you are here with us The cottage is fate, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve, as the hosts, we can't treat the guests slowly, these wines and dishes are all the wishes of our village owner, and I hope the girl will accept it with a smile!" Sure enough, Song Wan did what he said, and kept his mouth shut. Said it was Wang Lun's wish, and didn't mention the cottage at all.

[-] words are updated, give back to the heroes!Maybe it doesn't matter to others, the world is already exhausted.
