Water Margin Survival

"Ha ha……"

In the eyes of these two vicious fishermen, the life tragedy of a scholar who fell into the water is undoubtedly a rare joy in their lives.It is difficult for outsiders to understand the pleasure of catching rare and big fish in one net.

"Second brother, how many stupid thieves have been caught?" The boss grinned happily and asked his fellow brothers with a smile.

"This guy is the seventh one, 21 pens are enough to get you! Hehe, big brother, as usual, let's put your head down first and feed your body to the fish?" The fisherman who secretly knocked the scholar into the water couldn't see any shame on his face. , just like his elder brother, they all looked happy, and asked while rubbing their hands.

"This guy must be someone of great importance. I heard this guy himself said that he can talk to Wang Lun!" At this time, the boss's expression was a little regretful, "The imperial court awarded a reward, a Liangshan bandit three times full of money, and the leader is another Discussion. If we stamp this fellow right now, what will happen if the imperial court discounts the price for ordinary people?"

"I'll just say that brother is knowledgeable! This guy is a scholar after all, and he must be a rare commodity in the robber's den! When we say that he is the leader, the court will say that he is a minion, how can we win? That's it. , let’s make a living?” The second child licked his lips, then laughed again: “Do you remember that this fellow was dressed in white when he boarded the boat? Could it be that our brother had a lucky encounter and met that thieves’ leader in white clothes? "

The boss was taken aback by his brother's unintentional words. He stared at the calm water surface in a daze and thought for a while, and finally made a difficult decision: "It's not worth the risk. If it's really Wang Lun, stay If you take his life, you and I will die. You think about these strong men, what kind of loyalty and loyalty do they talk about? Wang Lun is simply the god he worships every day. Retaliation, if you make some money, you can make some money, we can't leave future troubles!"

The second brother felt very sorry when he heard the words, it was like selling gold as rotten iron, but what the boss said was not unreasonable, and he was used to listening to the elder brother's orders, so he didn't object when he heard the words, he sighed regretfully, and said: " Then I'll go down and get his body!"

The boss nodded and said nothing else, watching his brother take off his clothes and jump into the icy lake, he thought to himself: "If it's really Wang Lun, then most of this revenge will be avenged! Hmph, my wife's life was killed. I want you to repay ten and one hundred!"

Not long after, there was movement on the surface of the water, and I saw the second child floating out of the water holding the scholar's body, the boss quickly bent down to help, dragging the scholar onto the boat desperately, the second child also turned over immediately, and wiped the lake water on his body indiscriminately, With trembling lips and teeth, he said, "Brother, let's see, is this guy dead?"

The boss went forward to check the scholar's breath according to his words, but there was no movement, he smiled and said: "This guy is a weak scholar, he just took two sips of water and settled the bill, which saves the old man's work!"

Seeing this, the second child said: "After taking the dog's head and washing the hull of the boat so early, we both went back to sleep early! This good water really cools my heart!"

The boss is also a swift person, so he didn't talk nonsense at this time, he turned around and went to look for the knife in the tent, but after rustling around for a while, he couldn't find the sharp weapon, so he asked puzzledly, "Second brother, did you see my knife?" Do you remove the knife?"

"Qianqian is not covered under the old fishing net, brother will look for it again!" The old second-hand hurriedly put on his clothes, even though he was a fisherman, he couldn't help that the lake was too cold.

The boss searched for a long time, but still couldn't find the knife, so he got out of the tent depressedly, looked up, and said, "Forget it, the fish in the lake are not lucky today, so let's send this corpse to the old place for storage! It's getting late, let's concoct this fellow's corpse tomorrow!"

"That's right, let's go, we're freezing to death!" The second child shivered and nodded.

……

After the two brothers settled everything, it was already more than an hour later. The two quietly sneaked back to the village and tied the fishing boat.After entering the house and locking it, the two brothers lit a fire and grilled the two big fish that they claimed to be dedicated to Wang Lun.

The aroma overflowed with the cold wind, and by the fence outside the thatched house, two passing black shadows inhaled the meaty fragrance in the air fiercely, and one of the shadows whispered: "These two brothers, seeing the sky getting up early and being greedy for the dark, to yourself I'm very willing, and the meals are either fish or meat. It's not like my family, even if I have two dollars, I can't wait to grab oil!"

"That's right, when we get married, we must ask the mother-in-law to fix it up, and comfort this empty stomach first!" Another black shadow replied.

Judging from the voices of these two people, they were both younger generations.I saw the two young men walking and talking, until they came to a few thatched huts at the end of the village.The two of them didn't call the door, climbed over the fence and went straight in, quietly avoiding the main house, and came to the side room to learn how to meow.

Immediately, the people inside laughed and said: "It's probably a big bug and they're here!" Not long after, two young men who were about the same age as the visitors opened the door, and laughed and cursed: "The ghost screamed so much in the middle of the night, I woke up my aunt. It will be a scolding meal, come in quickly!"

Two black shadows swished in, turned around and smiled at the young man who had spoken, "No wonder I've been looking for you everywhere, so I've come to Brother Rong long ago!"

"It's a good deal, when will I be late?" The young man replied after hearing the words. From their smiles, it can be seen that these young men have an unusual relationship.

Finally, the homeowner, who was called Brother Rong, closed the door, came in and sat down, added a few branches to the fire in the middle of the soil enclosure, and said, "How are you thinking about the matter I discussed with you?"

The two young men who came from behind looked at each other, and only one of them said: "If my father and mother didn't control me tightly, I would have gone to Liangshan 800 years ago, so I still have to wait until now? Brother Rong, tell me, what do you do? How to go, we all listen to you!"

Brother Rong smiled and said: "Our parents only want to live the little life in front of us all our lives, and finally survived until the head of Liangshan Wang Lun became a backer, and they don't have to be blackmailed by the government, they are satisfied But how did they know that these were all fought by the heroes on Liangshan Mountain. Now the imperial court has launched a large army to kill Liangshanbo. If you don’t talk about it when you go out, the officials and squires will come to beat the bones and suck the marrow, do you think we can bear this kind of life?"

When the two young men who had just arrived heard the words, they all said in unison: "I can't bear it!" Suddenly, something was wrong subconsciously, afraid of waking Brother Rong's parents, they subconsciously peeked at the window.

The younger generation who came here before heard this and said: "Brother Rong, it's not that I'm cowardly. You also know that our parents refused to jump on the mountain when Liangshan was majestic. Now that the imperial court's overwhelming army is coming, you It is said that if we go up the mountain, Liangshanbo will be wiped out at the same time, we will risk our lives, but where will our parents be?"

The other two younger students listened, and stared at this younger student with strange eyes, only to hear one of them say: "sure, sure, you crow mouth, if you wait until you are sure about everything in the world, how can you benefit from it? Thinking about the eight hundred miles of water, even those of us who are born and bred dare not say that we know the water situation in Juye County, and we will be blinded in other places as well. With such good water, how can those corrupt officials say that they can catch it? Laid down? You don’t want to go up the mountain, the two of us go up the mountain together with Brother Rong!”

That young man was called "Guo Zhuo" because there was a word "hold" in his name. It is said that Zhuo Zhuo was said a few words by his companion, his face flushed red, and he said angrily: "Meng Weifeng, Jia Huhu, you two touch me!" Conscience, I know when I have been cowardly! I am obviously worried that our parents will eat us!"

"Hangluo? There are so many fishermen on the four sides of this lake, can you count them? In our village alone, [-]% of the folks have walked away! Oh, people are not afraid of their family members being hanged, as long as you think about it." How many? Now that Liangshan Po is in danger, if we don’t go up the mountain now, when will we go up the mountain? When Tong Guan’s head has moved and then go up the mountain, we will be sure at that time, I’m so irritable!” Nicknamed Weifeng and Tiger The two younger generations competed to say.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Brother Rong got up and sat beside him, and said, "Look at you two, how anxious are you? The only thing you are worried about is that you will hurt your parents, don't you worry?"

Brother Rong's words made the two friends speechless, thinking that since then, they have been very prestigious among the three of them, but the two of them kept silent, only to hear that Brother Rong said with certainty: " This matter is all voluntary, so you must think about it. I think that the men who came out of Jeju Prefecture would die without regret. When there were only a few hundred people in Liangshanbo, the three heroes of the Ruan family in Yuncheng County What a heroic spirit it is to destroy the family and agree with each other! If we want to learn from him, we can only look like heroes when we agree with each other at this time. Otherwise, when the weather is calm, and then go to agree with each other, it will only make the heroes on the mountain laugh at us! "

"Brother Rong, it's not that I'm afraid of things, it's that my parents can't let go. I heard from a passing guest yesterday that the imperial court didn't distinguish between good and evil in Puzhou, and killed more than 1000 people in one go. Everyone was terrified. The imperial court said these things People are thieves, but how can we deceive our local people, these people are not ordinary people like us?" After thinking for a while, he said calmly:

"How about this, the three of you go to Liangshan first, and leave me in the village to take care of our four families. If there is any trouble in the future, you can also feel at ease on the mountain, how about it?"

After talking for a long time, I didn't expect to say such an ending. Wei Feng and Hu Hu looked at each other in blank dismay, and wanted to say something more firmly, but he offered to take care of his parents again, so he didn't say this, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward for a while.

In the end it was Brother Rong who made the decision, and only heard him say: "We have played with us since we were young, and we all know what kind of person he is. Since he said so, I agree, you guys?"

The leader of the four agreed, what else can the remaining two say, and said confidently: "I will also find an opportunity to persuade our four masters, as long as they are willing to leave, I will go to you three immediately without saying a word. go!"

Brother Rong nodded in agreement and said, "I'm sure. The three of us will go up the mountain to explore the way first, and when we get a firm foothold, we will come to pick you up. Actually, you don't know. , maybe it’s not necessarily a bad thing!”

Seeing that he spoke strangely, the three asked in unison, "What premonition?"

"You know, this Liangshan Po has been recruiting heroes from all over the world to go up the mountain. It's normal to do this. It doesn't show anything. But they not only recruited heroes, but they also recruited old and weak women and children to go up the mountain together. It's a little strange! I once I secretly went to the lake in Yunzhou, and happened to come across a large ship transporting people straight to the north. I must go to the Beiqing River. At that time, I thought that the leader Wang Lun of Liangshanbo is a rare hero in the world. Could it be that he can only guard this island all his life? Even the Daming Mansion was taken down by him. Instructor Baichigan Wang Jin was imprisoned on Shamen Island, and he was rescued by Chief Wang Lun, so maybe Liang Shanbo would have been on the back road long ago on this Shamen Island!"

When the three of them heard these words, it was as if a layer of window paper had been punctured. They all felt their hearts light up, and they only listened with confidence: "If there is such a place, why should the officers and soldiers be afraid of him? We have no worries. Already!"

The four young men took care of each other and laughed heartily, which immediately caused a woman in the main house to shout: "I'm still awake in the middle of the night! Do you want to get up and fish tomorrow? You are so big, you are so ignorant!"

The four of them stuck out their tongues, but Brother Rong didn't take it seriously, and suggested: "Since we want to do some business now, at least we have to have a name. I heard that it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date, and it is better for us four tonight Let’s make a vow here! How about it?”

"Okay, okay, okay!" The other three said happily, and then said with confidence: "We can't do a person like Chief Wang Lun, but we can learn how to behave like the three heroes of the Ruan family in Yuncheng County! The three of them are siblings, although the four of us have different surnames, but there is one more person than them, will we lose to them in the future?"

Although the atmosphere was lively at this moment, the environment was as simple as it could be. There was only a fire in front of the four of them, and there was no brazier in Brother Rong's room. These four young men were not discouraged, you stood next to each other You, kneel down one word, line up the positions according to age, only listen to the oldest brother Rong, and the three of them will follow suit, saying:

"The leader Wang Lun of Liangshanbo is above, and the three heroes of the Ruan family in Yuncheng County are below. I, Zhang Rong, Meng Wei, Jia Hu, and Zheng Yao, have become brothers of different surnames here tonight. Born on the same day, only wish to die on the same day, same month, same year!"

The boys who grew up in four fishing villages didn't know what to say when they got married. Anyway, they got married according to the legend of Liangshan that they heard on weekdays. After this ceremony, the four children who were still childish all had strange expressions on their faces. The joy, shining eyes are much different than usual.

After this sworn ceremony, Zheng Yao, the fourth eldest, said: "Since the three of you... my brother is going up the mountain, it should be sooner rather than later!" Usually they are called by nicknames, but this time they are called elder brothers in a serious way. The younger generation is still a little embarrassed.

"It's exactly what I want! But before we go up the mountain, we have something urgent to do!" While speaking, Zhang Rong's face became serious.

"Brother, what else is urgent to do?" The three of them played together since they were young, and everyone knew what was going on. At this moment, they didn't know what the elder brother was referring to.

"Vote for the certificate!" Zhang Rong uttered a green forest jargon.

"Ah? Is it impossible to kill someone? Brother Rong...Big brother, Liangshanpo is not doing this now, we are going to kill good people, I'm afraid the good guys will kill them as soon as we go up the mountain!" The youngest Jia Hu said hastily.

"Ordinary people go up to the mountain for the protection of Liangshan. We go up the mountain to become heroes like the three heroes of the Ruan family. How can we be like ordinary people?" Zhang Rong Chengzhu said in his chest: "However, I am not looking for trouble for nothing, but Two people, I always feel that there is something wrong with them! Before I go up the mountain, I have to find out the details of these two people before I talk about it!"

When they heard about "two people", although the three brothers did not communicate with each other, they said in unison: "Jia Zhong, Jia Yi!?" (to be continued~^~)
