Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 83 Shijie Village ([-])
The Ruan family brothers quickly waved their hands and said in unison: "I can't accept such a big gift from my brother, isn't this the fodder for the two villain brothers?"

The three of his brothers often hang out in the market, Ruan Xiaoer sells fish, and his two brothers love to play with money, and they often go to some places of the same class.It just so happened that recently Lv Bu was preparing to gain a foothold here in Liangshan, and he sent people desperately to spread the news about him, so these people in the market may not know his appearance, but their names and deeds are definitely full of ears.

Qiao Lie's eyes lit up when he saw the smiles of the two of them, and pointed at the burden picked up by the minion behind him with a smile, and said, "I brought some wine and meat here this time, I might as well chat while eating."

"How can I let my brother lose money?"

"I'm going to ask my mother-in-law to cook two dishes."

When Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi heard that there was wine and meat, they laughed so hard that they couldn't see their eyes. They quickly let them sit inside. Ruan Xiaoer went outside to ask his wife to cook hot dishes, and the woman was also quick. After going down to the stove, lighting a fire and copying dishes, Ruan Xiaoer came in with two steaming dishes in a short while.

The two minions had already taken out the drinks from the three loads and put them on the table, leaving one load covered with coarse cloth in the house, and went outside to wait.

"Brother, country dishes are not worth anything, but my mother-in-law's cooking skills are not bad, so try it." Ruan Xiaoer put the plate on the table with a smile on his face.

Lu Buqiao would not refute his face, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick it up. The dish was an ordinary wild vegetable, and it would have a special taste when paired with dried river seafood.

"Sister-in-law is good at crafting, and my second brother is lucky. Come, let's have a bowl of wine." Lu Bu admired, raised the bowl and pointed at the two Ruan brothers.

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi hurriedly picked up the bowls: "Shuipu fisherman, you can't be called elder brother. If elder brother says that again, won't he drive me out of the house?"

"Then... Little Second Brother, Little Seventh Brother, do it!"

"Dry!"

The four of them drank the wine one after another, and Qiao Lie greeted them to eat meat and drink, and it was very lively for a while.

Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't hold back his temper, and asked curiously after drinking for a long time: "Brother came to look for us today for something?"

Ruan Xiaoer stopped when he heard his brother's question, and only looked at Lu Bu and Qiao Lie.

Lu Bu took a piece of sauced meat into his mouth and slowly chewed it. Looking at Er Ruan, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched: "If someone said that he came here to meet you, but he was playing tricks on your brother."

Seeing the two of them staring at him intently, Lu Bu stretched out his hand to pick up the wine jar and poured wine for the two of them, saying: "I don't like talking around the bush, I am now building a village on Liangshan."

"It turns out that brother is the one who started construction in Liangshan recently." Ruan Xiaoqi blurted out.

Lu Bu looked at him with a smile, and continued: "The reason why I came here today is because the cottage was first built and lacked water heroes. I found out that the three noble brothers are superb in martial arts and proficient in water. Isn’t it a waste? That’s why I’m here to invite three of your brothers to go up the mountain.”

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi looked at each other when they heard this, their eyes flickered and they were silent.

At this time, Qiao Lie stood up, walked to the burden that was left in the house, lifted the coarse cloth, took two wooden boxes, put them on the table and opened them.

The Ruan family brothers could see clearly that there were a lot of coins inside, so they couldn't help but Qiqi opened their eyes wide.

Lu Bu reached out to pick up the wine bowl, raised his head and drank it in a gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "In these two boxes, each is worth thousands of coins, and there is a wooden box for Brother Xiaowu, since he is now If it’s not there, I didn’t take it out.”

Lu Bu sat up straight, put his hands on his lap, and said in a low voice: "If the two brothers are willing to go up to the mountain to gather together and drink wine, the money will be the admission fee."

Ruan Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes, his face was a little unfriendly, and he pressed forward: "You are using money to buy our brothers?"

Qiao Lie shook his head, and said beside him: "No, according to the rules established by my brother, every brother who goes up the mountain has a thousand-peat entry fee, which was also the case before the poor."

Er Ruan was a little moved when he heard this, he had never heard of such a thing.

Lu Bu looked at the two of them and said in a low voice: "Brothers put their lives on XX, what XX can do now is to try to let the brothers have no worries first, and whether they can fight for a way out later is the XX brother's business. "

Ruan Xiaoer sat there uncertainly, but Ruan Xiaoqi picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, stood up and took the wooden box, patted his chest and said, "I would like to follow my brother."

"Seventh brother." Ruan Xiaoer looked up at him in surprise.

Ruan Xiaoqi's eyes were red, he stepped on the stool and looked at Ruan Xiaoer and said: "Second brother, brother is right, I am already impatient for fishing and living here every day. How do you think the three of us are?" I can't accept it if I want to laugh with those fish catchers and let them lower the price!"

When Ruan Xiaoer saw this, he became silent, lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking.

Ruan Xiaoqi reached out to sieve the wine, took a bowl to drink again, put down the bowl heavily and said, "Besides, the government collects ships today, they don't care about people's feelings, they take all of them regardless of their convenience. If you don’t know how to live without fish, even if you can’t get out of the boat for a day, many people will starve, this official is so ignorant, why don’t you let me do it.”

Seeing that Ruan Xiaoer was still silent, Ruan Xiaoqi sneered: "Second brother, how passionate you were in the past, I understand that you want to be safe after living with your sister-in-law. It's just why you quarrel with your sister-in-law every day, not because of With no money in your pocket, why not do it now that you can get out of that poor life?"

Ruan Xiaoer took a few breaths, then suddenly picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, took the wooden box in one hand, and said with red eyes: "I'll do it too. I'll earn this thousand money by myself, so I don't want to save it for the rest of my life. , It’s not as good as going up the mountain to eat meat with big mouthfuls, drink in big bowls, and divide gold and silver by weighing.”

"Hehehehe." Lu Bu laughed, slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, since Xian Kunzhong thinks so, give me a word too, so that you won't waste your blood in vain."

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi stood up and bowed down: "My brother, I am willing to go through fire and water for my brother."

Lu Bu waited for the two of them to finish their salutes, he quickly helped them up, took them by the hand and said: "Please get up quickly, I have two brothers to help me, it's like adding wings to a tiger."

Ruan Xiaoer said with a smile: "There is still fifth brother, brother, don't worry, our three brothers have always advanced and retreated together, and he must be willing to get it."

Ruan Xiaoqi followed, "What Second Brother said is that Fifth Brother will definitely be willing. In addition to making money recently, he loves to talk about Brother's deeds in Hebei, Liao Kingdom."

Lu Bu was overjoyed: "It's so good, come and have a drink."

Qiao Lie also laughed and said, "Welcome two brothers to go up the mountain."

After pondering for a while, he said: "Pindao heard that Diao Gui and Diao Chun brothers are also heroes in the water. Maybe they will go up the mountain together?"

Ruan Xiaoqi shook his head and said with a smile: "The brothers of the Diao family can't, they are used to living a peaceful life and don't like dangerous things."

"It's a pity." Lu Bu sighed.

The four of them sat down again, Ruan Xiaoer saw that the dishes were almost enough, so he went to ask his wife to add two more dishes, and the four of them ate wine until about Shen Shi.

"Village Master, Chief Ma Ling is back." A minion knocked on the door and came in to report.

Following the words, Ma Ling stepped in and ran in: "Master, I'm back."

Lu Bu smiled, took the wine bowl and said, "It's been a hard journey, let's have a bowl of wine before talking."

Ma Ling raised his hand to take it and drank it.

Lu Bu looked at the curious Ruan family and said, "This is brother Ma Ling. I asked someone to learn how to draw a halberd from Fang Tian. Because he can run fast and can travel thousands of miles a day, I asked him to go to Yuncheng County to find out."

Then he said to Ma Ling: "These two are the second brother Ruan Xiao and the seventh brother Ruan Xiaoqi, who have agreed to go up the mountain to join the group."

Ma Ling let out a breath of alcohol and said, "Since this place is my own family. Master, I found out that Yuncheng County has not yet dispatched troops, but the city is mobilizing troops, and it will only take a few days."

Ruan Xiaoqi blushed and said, "That's great, grandpa just wanted to kill two dog officials to relieve boredom."

He grabbed Lu Bu's sleeve and said, "Brother, I will go with you today. This battle is coming, and I will take the lead."

Lu Bu smiled, and patted Ruan Xiaoqi: "If they are all outsiders, even a thousand people can win."

"Brother is proud." Ruan Xiaoer probably got hot from drinking, and he exposed his strong chest with his clothes open, but the people looking at it with red marks wanted to laugh.

"It's not arrogance. The sergeants my master killed in Liao Kingdom are called soldiers. Those outside, tsk~" Ma Ling dragged a chair over, sat down, stretched out his hand to grab a piece of stewed meat and started eating.

"Brother also killed Liao soldiers with elder brother in Liao Kingdom?" Ruan Xiaoqi was clever and understood what Ma Ling meant.

Qiao Lie said cheerfully: "Brothers Pindao and Ma Ling followed my brother all the way back from the Liao Kingdom, and they know it very well. There are two brothers on the mountain who were brothers who were originally in the Liao Kingdom. One is Huoyan. Suanni and Deng Fei, one is a Khitan man called Xiao Haili, and I will introduce my brothers to you when I go up the mountain."

"It's so good." Ruan Xiaoqi expressed joy.

Lu Bu looked at the sky and said, "Let's be like this today. Although those officers and soldiers are like nothing, I have to go back and make arrangements."

"The officers and soldiers are taking over the boats outside, how will my brother go back?" Ruan Xiaoer looked at several people and asked.

"I'm not waiting for the boat to get off here." Lu Bu smiled when he heard this, patted Ruan Xiaoer's arm and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for my own boat to go back."

Ruan Xiaoqi rolled his eyes, stood up and said, "Since you said so, I will go back with my brother."

Then he said to Ruan Xiaoer: "Second brother, you are waiting to bring my mother and sister-in-law together with fifth brother, I will go to Liangshan first to have a look."

"That's fine, but I don't know whether to trouble my brother." Ruan Xiaoer nodded, and looked at Lu Bu worriedly.

"What's the trouble with this? They are all my brothers. Brother Xiaoqi will come to pick up his family up the mountain tomorrow morning." Lu Bu smiled. Xiao Qilai is refreshing, but the cottage also needs this kind of calm and prudent person.

Immediately, they took a picture of Ma Ling who was still eating, and the group left the village with Ruan Xiaoqi to the place where the boat was hidden outside the village.
