Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 158: Ruan Xiaoqi: Brother, I am willing! [2 more]

"This……"

Lin Chong hesitated:
Should I expose myself or not?
In the end, Lin Chong held back.

It's a bit awkward to expose yourself when others are bragging about themselves.

Mu Hong and Mu Chun winked at each other.

They didn't dare to expose Lin Chong casually, but just laughed secretly.

Lin Chong blushed slightly and looked at the mirror-like lake:
“This must be a false rumor.

"No matter how good Lin Chong's martial arts are, he is still alone.

"If we are really surrounded by 800,000 imperial guards, how can we escape?"

"People are different. How do you know that Master Lin can't do it?"

The boatman argued:

"Master Lin is so brave that no one can match him!
"Of course, eight hundred thousand imperial guards can't hold him back!"

What he said made a lot of sense and I was speechless...

Lin Chong was silent for two seconds and decided not to argue with him:
"...That makes sense!"

"Of course!"

The boatman was very happy that Lin Chong was convinced by him:
“I heard that Master Lin caused a commotion in Tokyo in order to save my brother!

“This is what is most admirable!
"Not only is he unmatched in courage, he is also loyal and righteous!

"He's such a good man!"

"Well……"

Lin Chong blushed slightly:

"But what I heard was that his brother went to Tokyo to save his family..."

"Lu Zhishen, the Flower Monk?"

The boatman became more and more excited:

"Both sworn brothers are brave enough to fight against thousands of men, and they are both loyal and righteous!
“It really makes others envious!
"If I had a sworn brother like this, I would give him my heart even if he asked for it!"

What a hero!

Lin Chong subconsciously looked at the boatman again.

Although he was just chatting, his true nature was revealed in his words.

"arrive!"

The boatman pointed to the beach ahead and said:

“That’s the Golden Beach, and from there you can reach the village.

“My brothers and I used to come to the island to play.

"It's because Wang Lun and his gang of bandits have occupied it for the past two years, and we are not allowed to come and play.

"I don't know what the situation is like now, so I'll just walk up the mountain with you."

Since Liangshanpo was already in ruins, it was naturally impossible for Lin Chong to stop him.

So they went ashore together.

As a local, the boatman took the initiative to act as a tour guide, taking Lin Chong and his friends up the mountain, introducing the locals as they walked:

"There is a Broken Gold Pavilion halfway up the mountain...

"These three passes are more dangerous than the other. I'm sure the imperial army suffered many casualties while attacking the passes..."

But Lin Chong saw more than he did.

Lin Chong has now killed countless people and is very sensitive to the smell of blood.

Although the bodies of the imperial army and the minions were taken away, bloodstains could be seen everywhere!
Even the bricks and stones have crisscross knife marks!
You can imagine how brutal the fighting was back then!

Or maybe it’s not called fighting, it should be called massacre…

Just as they were walking up, a cold light flashed in Lin Chong's eyes, and he suddenly turned around and swung his spear!
His Zhangba Snake Spear was originally wrapped in thick cloth.

At this moment, a spear thrust out, revealing its sharpness!

"Shoot-"

The sharp edge of the snake spear tore through the linen, and the light flashed!
It was like a strange python winding and stabbing into the bushes!

"Master, spare my life—"

At the same time, a ghostly howl was heard from the bushes!
"squeak--"

Lin Chong's eyes narrowed, and he flipped his wrist and drifted!
A spear stabbed into the big tree next to it!
"Tom—"

With a clear muffled sound, the winding snake spear actually penetrated the trunk of the tree that was thicker than a human waist!
The spear tip pierced through the tree!

"hiss--"

The boatman and Mu Hong and Mu Chun couldn't help but gasp:
This spear is comparable to Li Guang shooting a tiger!

Lin Chong frowned and shouted:

"come out!"

From the waist-deep bushes, a dog's dishevelled and savage-like head crept out!
The wild man looked at Lin Chong with tears in his eyes, and his tears flowed before he said anything:

"Fourth Village Leader... you are back..."

"You are..."

Lin Chong looked at him strangely.

This savage's face was covered in dirt and mud and it was impossible to tell who he was.

The savage wiped his face with tears and said:

"Fourth Village Leader, it's me...

"I am a pheasant..."

"Pheasant?"

Lin Chong took a closer look and finally recognized it.

It turned out to be a small leader who had gone to Tokyo with him.

That is the "grimling little minion" who was fooled by Liu Gao.

Lin Chong asked suspiciously: "What are you doing..."

"Fourth Village Leader, wuwuwu..."

Shan Ji came out from the bushes, rushed to Lin Chong with tears streaming down his face, hugged his thighs and cried:

“We returned to Liangshan from Tokyo and answered the three village chiefs as you instructed.

"In the end, the three village chiefs not only didn't believe us, but also threw us into the dungeon...

"One day, the imperial army bombarded Jinshatan, and the government troops attacked us, killing countless brothers...

"We were imprisoned in the dungeon and escaped...

“I managed to escape from the dungeon with great difficulty…

"As a result, there was no one on the island, the Juyi Hall was burned to the ground, and not even a small boat was left...

“Originally, there were a few people on the island who were lucky enough to survive like me…

“But those who can swim have all swam away…

"Those who can't swim can only be trapped on the island and pick wild fruits to eat...

"Some starved to death, some committed suicide...

"There are only two or three people alive now..." Lin Chong twisted his wrist, and with a "bang", the trunk of the tree as thick as a man's waist was exploded by the spear tip!
"hiss--"

The boatman and Mu Hong and Mu Chun couldn't help but gasp:
This spear can split mountains and rocks!
The little henchman Shan Ji was so frightened that he kowtowed to Lin Chong repeatedly:
"Don't kill me, Fourth Village Master, please spare my life..."

"I won't kill you."

Lin Chong reached out and lifted up the pheasant:

"Go and get everyone here. I have something to ask you!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Pheasant ran off to look for someone.

At the same time, the boatman couldn't help asking:
"Are you really Master Lin?"

Mu Chun couldn't help it any longer and said with a smile:

"Don't you see that the weapon in my master's hand is the Zhangba Snake Spear?"

"Oops——"

The boatman woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly bowed to Lin Chong:

"I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by my ignorance!"

"You're so polite, brother!"

Lin Chong hurriedly helped the boatman up, but heard the boatman introduce himself:
"My younger brother Ruan Xiaoqi is known as the 'Living Yama'!
“He’s from the nearby Shijie Village!

"I have often heard of Master Lin's great name, and I have great respect for him!
"We met unexpectedly today, but I didn't recognize you when you were in person!"

Lin Chong chuckled and was about to speak when he heard the pheasant yelling halfway up the mountain:
"Oh no--

"The boat was rowed away by that fellow——"

"what?"

Lin Chong's face changed, and he quickly turned back to look at the Golden Beach:
Sure enough, the small boat was rowed away!

"not good!"

Mu Hong and Mu Chun were both anxious!

Although they were born by the river, they were both landlubbers like Lin Chong:
"The boat has been rowed away, how can we get back?"

"Don't worry, coach. I'll take care of everything!"

Ruan Xiaoqi said this as he ran downwards with all his strength.

Lin Chong and the others hurriedly followed Ruan Xiaoqi.

Ruan Xiaoqi rushed to the golden sand beach in one breath, only to see that the small boat was already a hundred steps away!

It was obvious that the "savage" who was rowing the boat didn't know how to row, so he rowed for a long time to move only a small distance.

But a hundred steps away is already hopeless enough for someone who can't swim.

Pheasant's voice has become hoarse from crying.

"Shh-"

Taking advantage of the momentum, Ruan Xiaoqi clasped his hands together and moved forward, like a big fish leaping into the air and diving into the lake!

Lin Chong and his companions also chased to Jinshatan, and together with Shanji, they watched Ruan Xiaoqi riding the wind and waves with eager eyes!
Although none of them know how to swim, they have seen pigs walk even if they have never eaten pork.

Mu Hong couldn't help but admire:

“That guy is really good at swimming!
"I think even Zhang Shun, the 'white shark in the waves', is no better than this!"

Mu Chun also said: "Zhang Shun dare not say that Zhang Heng must be inferior to him!"

"So extravagant?"

Lin Chong suddenly developed a love for talented people.

Mu Hong and Mu Chun nodded at the same time:

"It's really luxurious!"

They knew Li Li, Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun and had seen the world.

Ruan Xiaoqi's level is definitely first-class than Zhang Shun's.

When the "savage" saw Ruan Xiaoqi chasing him, he was still laughing until Ruan Xiaoqi really caught up with him.

fast!
too fast!
Ruan Xiaoqi was like an arrow shot from a bow, leaving a long white tail on the lake!
"Don't come over here!"

The "savage" rowed desperately, but the more anxious he became, the slower he rowed. Ruan Xiaoqi had already climbed onto the sampan!
"Get out of here! Go to hell!"

The "savage" used the paddle to hit Ruan Xiaoqi on the head without even thinking!

Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly sank to the bottom of the water!
"That guy was knocked down!"

Mu Chun's face changed drastically: "But it hit your head?"

Lin Chong didn't say anything, but his heart sank to the bottom.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a big fish causing waves under the small boat!

After swinging violently twice, it was overturned!

The "savage" immediately fell into the water, struggling and crying for his parents!
The boat turned over again!

Ruan Xiaoqi picked up the oar, jumped onto the boat, looked down at the "savage" struggling in the lake and laughed out loud!
Lin Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's really luxurious!"

When Ruan Xiaoqi rowed the boat to the golden beach, Lin Chong grabbed Ruan Xiaoqi and said:

"Are you hurt, brother?"

"Don't worry, coach!"

Ruan Xiaoqi said confidently:
"Who can hurt me in the water?"

"Okay! Wow!"

The more Lin Chong looked at Ruan Xiaoqi, the more he liked her:
"Brother, to be honest with you, I now have a good brother!

"I'm in need of help now. Would you like to come with me?"

"Brother is here!"

Ruan Xiaoqi was filled with joy and bowed down:

"I am willing!"

……

One day, a scholar came to Shijie Village.

He wore a barrel-shaped turban with a browband, a wide linen shirt with a white edge, a brown belt around his waist, and silk shoes and clean socks.

He was born with delicate features, fair face and long beard.

He knew the way to Shijie Village, so he walked along the water's edge and stopped in front of a house.

This family lives in a place surrounded by mountains and water, and has about a dozen thatched houses.

There were several small fishing boats moored to the dead piles, and a torn fishing net was drying outside the sparse fence.

The scholar called out from outside the door:
"Is my second brother at home?"

A person walked out of the door.

A pig kidney face, a big fork mouth, and two eyebrows growing upright!

With his arms open, he revealed a palm-wide stretch of yellow heart hair!
His arms are strong and powerful, and his eyes are bright!
When he came out and saw the scholar, he hurriedly said:
"What brings the professor here?"

The scholar smiled and said, "I have something to ask Erlang for help!"
