Water Margin Survival

The gate meets the ecliptic, and the mountain meets the blue dragon.Thousands of peach blossoms bloom in Wuling River, and thousands of trees bloom in Jingu Garden.In the Juxian Hall, there are rare flowers in four seasons; in front of the Baihui Hall, there is a beautiful scene in Changchun during the eighth festival.The hall hangs a gold medal, and the family has an affidavit of iron coupons.The red and blue tiles cover the nine-level hall.The painted pillars and carved beams are really Sanwei Abode.It is not the honorary family of the current dynasty, but also the family of the previous emperors.

This poem praises the mansion of the former emperor Xiaoxuanfeng Chaijin in Cangzhou. It is now in the spring of March. Listlessly basking in the sun, when I got closer, I saw that these two handsome boys were handsome everywhere, but the eyes were empty and lifeless, looking listless.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a group of people and horses galloping up the village from the north, but I saw about thirty or twenty of them were riding steed horses. Although this person is over fifty years old, he is well-maintained, and the traces of the years are far from visible on his body.

When the two boys heard the movement, they quickly stood up and waited and watched. After seeing the face of the visitor, they immediately cheered up and hurriedly opened the door.

Let’s say that the old man walked up to him and saw that there were only two boys struggling to open the door, so he immediately stopped his horse and asked hesitantly, "Why are you two boys? Where are Lao Huang and Lao Chen?" Looking for a ghost!" The old man said in a bad mood, looked back at the people around him, sighed, and said: "It used to be just staying overnight, and leaving without saying goodbye, but now it's fine. My family members have started to flee! You... If I also think the same way in my heart, just say it clearly, I am in charge, pay the travel expenses, and let everyone go their separate ways!"

"The kindness that the senior officials have treated me is as great as a mountain. How can you abandon the officials and leave at this critical moment? The boss calls you that we are inferior to pigs and dogs!" Everyone shouted.They are all local aborigines.Playing with Chai Jin since childhood, and being selected by Chai Jin as a follower after growing up, the relationship is not ordinary.It's different from those people from the rivers and lakes who took refuge halfway.

Mr. Guan saw that these people still persisted at this time, so he couldn't help saying hello, and said immediately: "You are different from them, so I will tell you the truth. It is true that Mr. Chai is in prison. But 20 A few days ago, the leader of the white-clothed scholar king in Liangshanbo sent his soldiers to Gaotang Prefecture!" Everyone was refreshed when they learned the truth, and they confessed their feelings one after another. The old man said: "Three men came to invest in the village at noon. We couldn't send them away, so we had to settle in the side room. They kept saying that they wanted to see the manager. The villain dare not make decisions. Please show me the boss!"

"There are still people coming to invest in the village at this time?" Old Du Guan was taken aback and subconsciously asked.

"That's right, I can't drive you away!" The boy replied.

The old man felt something was wrong, and secretly thought that he came here with ulterior motives to take advantage of the fire, so he pondered for a moment, and said to the big men behind him: "A few people, send the silver to the warehouse, and everyone else will come with me to have a look!" …

Everyone cheered loudly, and they all hugged the old man and came to the side room. Along the way, there were not many people in the bustling Chaifu, and the huge courtyard seemed empty. The movement of these 20 people immediately screamed. The people in the side room noticed it and opened the door to look around.The old man knows that he has seen countless people in the village in the past ten years. When he saw this guy who came out first, he felt that he was a bit unusual. The generation of people suddenly became vigilant, cupped their hands and said:

"I don't know where a good man came to the Chai Mansion? My family's senior officials are busy at this time, so I can't come out to meet you in person. Please forgive me!"

This is very decent, there is nothing wrong with it at all, but helplessly, the person guarding the side room said something more, and the meaning changed, I saw him impatiently said: "Okay, my family will take care of you too! I said Man, there is something going on in my village at this time, so I will leave after collecting the travel expenses, don't talk too much!"

As soon as the words came out, the big man was fine at first, and didn't say anything, but the two companions who came behind him were not happy, and said angrily: "If I don't look at Mr. Chai, I will slap you to death with a slap." Not long-sighted!"

"Presumptuous!" Old Duguan had a bad temper at first, but he restrained himself a lot when he was ruled by Wang Lun, but at this time, he was angry in his heart and suspected the other party's intentions. With a sound, the more than 20 big men behind him shouted.

When the two companions saw this, they said angrily: "Mr. Chai is mostly implicated by you villains. What a heroic man Wudutou was back then, but he was squeezed out of his way by you guys. You guys His mother is even worse than a big worm! I will take the head of Wudu today..."

"Okay! What are we doing here?" Seeing that the old man was about to lose his nose, the big man in the lead finally spoke up. When the two companions saw this, they had no choice but to keep silent, but they both snorted heavily and glared at everyone. .

The leading man didn't say anything, just took out a letter from his chest, handed it to the old Duguan, and said: "I'll talk about it after I read it!"

Seeing this, the old Du Guan took the letter, opened it suspiciously in public, saw the word, tears came out, he endured reading the letter, stopped the cursing people immediately, looked at the leading man with some excitement and said : "May I ask your honorable name?"

"It's written in the letter that I am Yang Lin, the leader of Liangshanbo's visitation. Please take care of this and clean it up, and follow me up the mountain!" This person is the brocade leopard on Liangshan. Do it yourself.Nothing went wrong, and Wang Lun trusted him.

"The flood has rushed into the Dragon King Temple again!" the old man stumbled, and turned his head to the stupefied crowd and said, "The high officials have gone up to Liangshan, everyone quickly pack up your things and go up the mountain with this leader!"

Yang Linjian said again: "It's not in a hurry at this moment. Everyone pack up your clothes. If you don't want to go up the mountain, please feel wronged first, and follow us to the border of Shandong. But let you come back, and we will pay for the travel expenses." , please understand!"

Yang Lin did this because he was afraid of leaking the news, and he was different from Chai Jin's family and other leaders' families, even though the family in this village was deserted and crowded.But the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, so there are still a hundred people, plus the hundreds of men I brought with me, there are two to three hundred people in total. The road will definitely be eye-catching. If one of them has a different heart, he will go to the government to sue. up.Although Liang Shanbo is not afraid that he will not be able to defeat Cangzhou.It's just coming and going, I don't know how many things will be delayed.

Seeing that Yang Lin was so thoughtful, the old man was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "For those who don't want to go to Liangshan, I will give you a hundred taels of platinum from the Chai Mansion! It's just that from now on, no one is allowed to step out of the gate!"

Although these people in front of them have bad tempers and have developed a temper with eyes higher than the sky in the Chai Mansion, they still have nothing to say to Chai Jin. Hearing the words, they said: "We are all willing to go to Liangshan with the officials!"...

"Then go clean it up! Lao Qi, go outside and call all the brothers, guard the four gates, and don't allow anyone to come in or out!" Yang Lin turned his head and told his companion.

When the partner heard the news, he went up and asked Yang Lin to serve tea in the main hall. Yang Lin thanked him and said, "Master, I have to go to the prison camp in Cangzhou. You only take your family with you." It’s good to clean up the soft things, and throw away the heavy things!”

"I know this myself. From the time I knew that the king sent an army to rescue my family's officials, the Chai family's field and other courtyards have been sold by the old man. I just wait for news from the king and my family's officials. It's over!" The old man hurriedly said, "Boss Wang" and "Boss Wang" in his mouth, shouting very affectionately.

"Old Duguan is a shrewd man! No wonder Mr. Chai entrusted this Zhuangzi to you!" Yang Lin clasped his hands and laughed.The old man quickly thanked him, but in fact, apart from the occasional sense of superiority, there is nothing too special about him.

At this time, Yang Lin chatted with him a few words, and asked him about the location of the prison camp.The old man was busy talking to Yang Lin in detail for a while, and finally he wondered: "Boss Yang, why are you going to the prison camp?"

Yang Lin didn't hide it from him, and said: "Instructor Lin has an acquaintance who runs a hotel outside the prison camp. This time, I specially invite me to meet him. If he is willing to go to Liangshan, I will take him there to be happy. If not No, here is a gift of 100 gold, as a thank you to his wife for saving their lives!"

"Instructor Lin really believes in people!"

The old Duguan also knew about Lin Chong's past, and he was very moved when he heard the words, and volunteered to lead the way himself.Yang Lin politely declined. After all, this old man is also a well-known person in Cangzhou City. He was afraid of causing trouble, so he just asked him to take someone to clean up his belongings. The old man sighed, but he couldn't insist, so he personally sent Yang Lin there. Outside the door, I returned with emotion.

Let's say that Yang Lin came out of Chai Mansion, drove on the road for a while, and came to the prison camp in Cangzhou, and found out about Li Xiaoer's shop. It happened that the husband and wife were both in the small shop. The couple sighed as they didn't want Lin Chong to still miss them.

Li Xiaoer immediately wanted to go up the mountain, his wife is a dutiful woman, naturally husband and wife follow suit, the two of them have no other relatives, packed up their belongings, closed the store, and left with Yang Lin.Seeing that the matter went so smoothly, Yang Lin was delighted, and immediately led the couple to the south.

It is said that these four people passed by the city of Cangzhou, and they did not covet the footsteps to enter the city to take a shortcut. Instead, they deliberately walked around the city. When they passed the east gate, they suddenly saw gongs and drums playing at the gate of the city. At the back of the team, there were many folks, elders, women and children. Yang Lin looked at it and said, "I don't know which family is getting married. It's such a big show!"

Li Xiaoer heard the words and said: "My family opened a shop outside the prison camp, but the villain knows about it. Today is our Cangzhou prison festival and execution executioner Biao Suo Yang Xiong married his wife. His in-laws were originally married. Lives in the city, but the woman's father, the butcher Pan Lao, likes to be lively, so he agreed to marry his daughter from the old house outside the city, it seems that he wants to make a big fuss, so that he can be happy!"

"Congratulations? Congratulations for what?" Yang Lin asked casually.

"This woman used to have a head of the family. It was a Yasi surnamed Wang in my city of Cangzhou. Later, she fell ill and died. This woman lost her husband not long ago, so I want to rejoice!" Li Xiaoer replied.

"Is this Jieji also widowed?" Yang Lin asked curiously.

"First marriage, first marriage!" Li Xiaoer nodded.

At this time, the atmosphere was not as oppressive as it was in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was common for women to remarry, but this prisoner in the two courts can be regarded as a respectable figure in the city, and he can be regarded as the type of person who "why not have a wife", but this It would be strange for everyone to marry a widow instead of a lady, Yang Lin shook his head and sighed, saying:

"Could it be that there is something special about this woman?"
