Water Margin Survival

Lu Fang's words were thorough enough, the man thought in his stomach when he saw this: "I am a fisherman on the Qiantang River, and I also work as a boatman when I am busy. What can I do in this life after exhausting my life? Is it because I am a wife and have no brocade clothes? Is there no food to eat? It’s really better to step into this green forest road, just find a buyer who knows the goods, and sell your life to him, in exchange for a family of fresh clothes and delicious food, this life is enough!"

Let's say this guy made up his mind and asked Lu Fang directly: "If I go up the mountain, will I be able to sit in a top chair?"

Pang Wanchun and Ji Ji laughed at each other when they heard the words, they only felt that this man's tone was serious.The boss, Lu Fang, was in a bit of trouble, how could he accept the leader immediately?Not long ago, Niu Geng, the well-known owner of the Stone Village in the rivers and lakes, brought a lot of minions up the mountain, and he only took the post of commander of the infantry, but now he was afraid of telling the truth and told him to leave. At that time, Ji Ji said:

"Hero, what a belly, how much rice to fill! If you have the ability to be a leader, you will naturally have the leader's chair!"

He obviously didn't say the second half of the sentence, afraid of hurting this man's face, the man really heard it, raised his head and said:

"I've heard that you have three Ruan family members in Liangshanpo. In fact, they are of the same background as me. They all urinate and look for food in the water. Of course, I don't envy them for being the leaders. After all, when Liangshan was first established, it was easy for the big guys to get ahead. Right now, I just want to ask, if I can beat one of these three people on the water, can I change the chair to sit here!" I saw that the man stared at Lu Fang intently when he spoke, with the kind of expression in his words. Confidence, not like pretending.

Lu Fang saw that he was relieved, and secretly thought that since he dared to talk about his skills, why would our cottage bury you?At this time, seeing that this man was a bit arrogant, he couldn't help but look back at Guo Sheng, which meant that there was someone more proud than you.

But Guo Sheng smiled and said: "The two of us can only beat the side drums in the end. You don't believe the promise you made. But you are also a bit lucky, my brother Wang Lun is in Mingzhou right now, how about We will take you to meet him, and Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi, two naval leaders, are also by his side. Whether you will eat or get paid by the leader will depend on your own ability. How about it? Do you dare? Dare to go with us!"

Seeing this, the man threw his burden on the ground and said, "Whoever is afraid to go is the fish and turtle in the Yuyao River!"

The leaders laughed when they heard the words, Huarong said at this time: "Big words must be capable. Brother Wang Lun must have picked up another hero this time!"

Guo Sheng heard the words.He patted his forehead and said, "That's right, hero! What is your last name, tell us your name, and I'll let the boss know!"

"I am a person with no name and no hope. If the leader of the king of Guizhai thinks highly of me, I will sell my life to him. If we can't reach an agreement, I don't need to report my name!" sigh.Suddenly remembered that when I first met Lu Fang, it was when he was young and arrogant, and he was full of self-satisfaction, so the brother beside me had to endure how much he was wronged by him!

Not to mention Guo Sheng's love for the scene, I saw that Lu Fangfang asked the brothers to spare a horse.He asked the man if he could ride, but he slapped his chest and said, "Don't tell me I'm from the Qiantang River, so I can ride this horse and touch fish! It's just that I'm not good at riding. Brothers, don't laugh!"

"Why are you laughing? There are so many people in the Liangshanbo navy who don't know how to ride a horse!" Guo Sheng replied.

"It's normal for a sailor to not know how to ride a horse, but the leader of the navy doesn't know how to ride a horse, but it's not decent!" The man smiled proudly after finishing speaking.Turning on the horse, I immediately felt that the horse under my crotch was very strong and powerful, and immediately called out "good horse".

Everyone looked at the man shaking his head and laughing, curious about the confidence in his heart.It's just that everyone still had to go on their way, so they didn't say much at this time, and saw Ji Ji bid farewell to Pang Wanchun and others at the gate of this pass, returning home alone.

……

On the coast somewhere in Cixi County.

There used to be more than 30 sea-going ships moored here in the morning, but now there are only four or five passenger boats moored here. Because the number of ships cannot carry the many troops and equipment of the guard camp, a thousand people have already disembarked Set up camp on the shore. At this time, the sky is getting late, the sun is setting, and the smoke is curling up under the glow, which is quite poetic.

Wang Lun has been fishing beside the passenger boat for more than an hour, but he didn't catch a single fish.Jiao Ting was already leaning on the deck and snoring, while Ruan Xiaoqi was walking back and forth anxiously, anyway, even if there were fish in the sea, the two of them joined forces to chase them away.

"Brother, you said that you are in the water, and you have never seen you fishing. How can you stay here?" Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't bear it anymore, and sat down beside Wang Lun, crying bitterly:

"Brother knows that I, Xiao Qi, is a quick-tempered person. To seize such a big matter as the sea-going ship stolen by the Korean thieves, you just ask Li Jun and my fifth brother to go. Both of them are stable people. Which one stays is not more secure than me. Forget it? Forget it, you said Fifth Brother has no experience in naval warfare, let him go with Li Jun to experience it in person, but when you go to Mingzhou to pick up the ship, why do you only ask Meng Kang to take Tong Wei and Tong Meng to go, but you don’t Are you willing to ask the younger brother to go for a walk?"

Hearing Ruan Xiaoqi's "complaints", Wang Lun knew that his heart must be scratching like a cat's itch, so he held the fishing rod in one hand and clasped it on his shoulder with the other, looking at the motionless float in front of him. Expressively said: "I'm bored in my heart, I want to ask you brother to sit with me for a while, will it work?"

Seeing this, Ruan Xiaoqi slapped the board of the boat and said, "I guessed it was the little lady's business! Brother, just follow my orders, why don't you go back and collect the troops, then destroy Xiqing's mansion, and arrest her immediately. Her prefect father asked him to be a prime minister on Jeju Island, and then made his daughter a princess, and by the way, brought the king here, and asked him to be a general, and this matter will be over!"

Jiao Ting was awakened by the slap at this time, and when he heard Ruan Xiaoqi's words, he said with contempt: "You are a bachelor, how dare you teach others? You are as rude as you, when will you marry a woman?"

"Aren't you rude? You're the only one who wants to be born, and Xiao Jin'er insists on not marrying you! Old Jiao, let me tell you the truth, you should get married while I'm not in the cottage, otherwise, hehe, I'll force you so hard that you won't be able to enter the bridal chamber!" Ruan Ruan Xiao Qi is a fast person, and he gets along well with Jiao Ting, so he doesn't hesitate to speak.

Jiao Ting was not afraid of him, and when he was about to retaliate, he heard Wang Lun say, "Okay, okay, you two should be pinched separately, I have my own ideas about this matter!" man yelling. "The leaders Pang Wanchun and Lu Fang have returned, and there are newcomers to the mountain!"

"What kind of newcomer throws a mountain?"

Jiao Ting muttered, but saw Ruan Xiaoqi pointing at Wang Lun's float and yelling, "Yes, yes, there is a fish biting the hook!" As soon as it was mentioned, a fat sea fish was immediately hooked out of the sea, and Ruan Xiaoqi saw that the fish was not small.Hastily stepped forward to help reel in the line, and not long after, the fish arrived on the boat, Ruan Xiaoqi carried it in his hand and estimated it briefly, and said: "Good guy, I'm afraid it's more than four catties?"

Wang Lun felt that this was a good omen, and said with a smile, "I'll cook it for the Huotou army at night! Let's go, we will meet the newcomers!"

The three of them boarded the boat, and Ruan Xiaoqi took the oars himself.Not long after they arrived at the shore, Pang Wanchun, Hua Rong and others were already waiting on the shore. After everyone greeted him, Pang Wanchun pointed to the man who came with him and said: "This man is a fisherman on the Qiantang River. He is here today. Going to visit relatives in Zhouzhou, passing by our Siming Mountain, seeing the flag of Liangshanbo planted in the cottage, so I want to join the gang!"

A fisherman on the Qiantang River?Wang Lun was taken aback when he heard the words, and secretly thought that there are several people who are famous on the Qiantang River.But Fang La took them away and became his navy chief. He didn't know the origin of this man, so he immediately asked: "I didn't come to Liangshan Wang Lun, and I didn't ask the name of this good man!"...

When the man saw the big leader of Liang Shanbo, who was like the stars and the moon, his expression was not as proud as before, he just clasped his fists and said: "I heard that there are three heroes of the Ruan family who are of the same background as me in Guizhai, and they all sit in the village. , the younger brother is a straight person, so I have to compete with them, if I win against him, it will not be too late to join the gang!"

Ruan Xiaoqi had smelled the fishy smell on this man early on, and had been trying to hold back his silence, but seeing him challenge him now, he couldn't hold back, and immediately said: "I haven't bought or sold for a whole day, I don't want to run into something in front of me! Just compare, how do you compare?"

Seeing that Ruan Xiaoqi was in high spirits, Wang Lun was determined to win or lose one by one. He thought to himself that he wanted to show his strength in front of him. It happened that he didn't have a very intuitive impression of the heroes in the south of the Yangtze River, so he immediately pointed to the man who was moored near the sea. The passenger boat said: "Since the hero wants to entrust himself to join the gang, we must not hurt our friendship. We only compete with water, and we don't use weapons! Seeing that the sea boat is gone, the two of you will swim over and turn back. Whoever arrives first wins." ,how?"

"It's just what I want!" The man and Ruan Xiaoqi said in unison, they looked at each other, took off their clothes, and waited for Wang Lun's order, they both rushed into the sea, only to see two dragons entering the sea, suddenly The shore and the boat suddenly became lively, and the cheers were louder and louder.

"Brother, you don't know this person?" Wang Lun saw that this man was only half a body behind Ruan Xiaoqi in the sea, and suddenly felt that such a person should be famous in the Jianghu.

"I'm ashamed to say, but I really don't know this person, just listen to his accent, he seems to be from Hangzhou!" Pang Wanchun said with embarrassment.

People with high spirits are generally high-minded and humble, but it is a bit difficult for him to remember others in his heart.Seeing Pang Wanchun's ashamed face, Wang Lun smiled and said, "It's all right! Let's see it!"

While the two were talking, they saw that Ruan Xiaoqi had already reached the boat first, slapped the boat fiercely, then turned around, slammed his fist, and disappeared under the sea surface. In a hurry, he got up and jumped, and kicked his feet on the body of the boat. A beautiful turning action won the applause of the sailors on the boat. He was seen swimming back on the sea, while Ruan Xiaoqi, who had plunged into the sea earlier, Nowhere to be seen.

Everyone stared wide-eyed as the man was getting closer and closer, and Ruan Xiaoqi hadn't been seen for a long time. Pang Wanchun couldn't help worrying: "There won't be anything for Chief Ruan..."

"My brother is a character who can sleep under the water. Once in the water, he feels like going home. Don't worry!" Jiao Ting said, looking at the water without turning his head.

Pang Wanchun nodded dubiously when he heard the words, and suddenly saw a man jumping out of the water at this time, only startled the man who had been swimming back desperately on the water, and now he accelerated his frequency, waving his pair of different The thick arms of ordinary people wanted to shake off Ruan Xiaoqi who suddenly appeared, but seeing the splash of water at this moment, the two of them got up from the shallow water almost at the same time, and they both flung their arms and ran back. Now that it's water-based, let's start racing.

Seeing this scene, Guo Sheng and Lu Fang couldn't help but look at each other, and both sighed: "Good guy, you're not half a step behind Seventh Brother!"

But seeing the two people running on the beach, they slowed down their pace at the same time, and suddenly laughed at the same time when they looked at each other, but saw that the two people stopped altogether, and the man said: "I still thought you took up the mountain." Zaoguang was able to sit in the top spot, I don’t think it’s really capable!”

"You're not a bad guy!" Ruan Xiaoqi laughed heartily, but now he made an astonishing move, actually grabbed a fat fish from his crotch, and said with a smile: "A good guy is new, I don't have any treats." Yes, I caught a fish on the bottom of the sea, and I'll give you a drink!"

The man was stunned when he saw this, looked at the fish in Ruan Xiaoqi's hand, and said after a while: "I... lost, but I'm not as good as you!"
