Water Margin Survival

The sky is gradually getting brighter, and a thin layer of mist floats on the quiet water, covering this white world, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

On this sleepless beach, the original hustle and bustle was gradually replaced by joy in the air.There were hundreds of large round tables bustling with each other, neatly arranged among the mountain-like piles of grain and grass in front of the beach. At this time, they were already full of old and new strongmen from the village.

"Jiangong, Jianye, you've been busy all night! Come, drink some water first!"

The woman who spoke was Li Si's wife, Mrs. Ma, and the two "Jiangong" and "Jianye" she called out were the two great-grandsons handed over to Wang Lun by the elders of Xixi Village, Ma Jiangong and Wang Lun. Ma Jianye.

Speaking of the Ma family, it is considered one of the largest families in Xixi Village.Their ancestors had spread out in this village as early as the Later Zhou Dynasty, so unlike other small households who gave their children random names, these two children had their own names when they were born. .According to the genealogy, they all belong to the generation of "Jian".So the old grandpa who looked forward to Sun Chenglong gave the two children the names of "Jiangong" and "Jianye".

In terms of blood relationship, Ma Shi and these two teenagers are somewhat related.Although the five suits were given, these two boys always called out cousin when they met Ma Shi.

At this time, when the two young men saw Ma Shi handing over the water, they both had a hint of shame on their faces, and said in a whisper: "Sister, we were sorry for you in the past, and Xiaobao didn't help you when he was bullying you... "

Mrs. Ma stopped the two of them, touched the heads of the two children and said: "Jiangong, Jianye, don't always feel sorry for sister! You are still young, and if you didn't report the letter that night, your brother-in-law and I would not have escaped." Take it off! My sister is on the mountain, except for your brother-in-law and nephew, only you two relatives! Don’t mention the past, come on, drink the water! Remember not to eat too much later, be careful that your stomach can’t stand it, in the future These things are enough for you to eat!"

These two juniors, who were obviously cautious about the surrounding environment, nodded quickly and drank water after hearing Ma Shi's words.After putting down the porcelain bowl, the two of them swallowed subconsciously as they looked at the table full of delicious food and wine piled up like a hill.Jianye asked childishly: "Sister, do you and your brother-in-law eat these every day on the mountain?"

"I don't eat it every day, but I just ate it once yesterday at noon, and it made your nephew very tired!" Madam Ma smiled, looking at the child leaning in his arms, with a strong maternal love on his face .

"My God, isn't that a new year every few days!" Jianye exclaimed for a while.Seeing this, Jiangong glared at his younger brother, his stern eyes seemed to blame his younger brother for making a fuss.Seeing this, Jianye died down and stopped making a sound.

At this time, the actions of the two brothers attracted the attention of the children who were playing in the arms of their mothers. Jianye, who couldn't be idle, stretched out his hand and squeezed his nephew's chubby face, and said to Ma Shi: "Sister, you don't know How majestic the brother-in-law was last night! The father and son Baozheng kowtowed to his brother-in-law kneeling on the ground like a dog. In the end, he killed the two cannibals one by one. What a relief!"

Hearing this, Ma Shi's tears suddenly fell.Jiangong and Jianye panicked immediately, and hurriedly persuaded them. The people at the same table were playmates who grew up together in the village, and they all helped to persuade them.I saw the child in Mrs. Ma's arms wiped her mother's tears with her hand, and said in a childish voice, "Little uncles are bad, scare my grandma!"

"What's the matter, this is, I'm crying like hell, huh?"

The beaming Li Si came from outside, and suddenly saw his wife bowing her head and weeping, and asked hurriedly.Seeing Li Si's return, the juniors at the same table stood up quickly, shouting "fourth brother" and "fourth brother" in their mouths, looking extremely affectionate.After personally experiencing the thrilling scene not long ago, they already regarded Li Si as a great figure in their hearts, and some secretly regarded Li Si as an idol in life.

"Four...four...Brother-in-law, it's our fault. When it comes to brother-in-law murdering, I scared my sister to tears!" Jiangong and Jianye bowed their heads and admitted their mistake.

"Sister, what I killed was my family's enemy, didn't they make us suffer? Is it worth it to shed tears for the wicked?" Li Si wondered.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ma quickly wiped her face and said angrily, "I was crying for my father-in-law, but you are talking nonsense!"

Seeing that his wife was angry, Li Si was stunned for a moment, and smiled apologetically, "I'm the one who was rude, don't blame me!" After speaking, everyone at the table looked at him, blushed, coughed, and said, "Eat!" , everyone eat! Don’t be restrained, when I come over there, it’s already eaten, what are you waiting for?”

These seventeen or eighteen-year-old youngsters have long been greedy looking at the steaming hot delicacies on the table, but everyone is cautious when they are newcomers, and although their saliva is almost dripping on the ground, no one reaches out for their chopsticks.At this time, Li Si's belated urging sounds sounded like heaven to them, and everyone was mobilized in an instant, picking up the good chicken legs and beef and stuffing them into their mouths. Just like how the elder in the family tasted wine during Chinese New Year in the past, he sipped the fine wine in the bowl seriously.

The atmosphere became lively for a while, and the tables next to it were all fellow villagers who had just gone up the mountain. Seeing the movement at this table, everyone also moved.

Li Si got up and picked up a chicken leg, handed it to his child, and put some vegetables in the bowl for his wife, and then he said to everyone in the banquet: "Little brothers, help the village to return the food after dinner. You can go to rest now! From now on, everyone will follow me, Li Si, and you can come to me for anything!"

When Mrs. Ma heard her husband's tone, she felt uncomfortable, pulled Li Si's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "What are you talking about? Why do you want everyone to follow you? If you want the old people in the cottage to hear, I'm afraid you don't know the rules. ?”

Li Si laughed, sat down and explained in a low voice to his wife: "You don't know yet! Why do you think the village owner asked us to come over? Now I am also a leader in the village, and the village owner even gave me a toast just now! "

Madam Ma was taken aback when he heard the words, with a look of disbelief on his face.At this moment, a few people came to the table, all with dishes in their hands, everyone just thought it was the cook serving the dishes, and ignored them.Only Li Si was startled, stood up hastily, cupped his hands to one of them and said, "How can I ask Brother Zhou to serve the food himself, I'll come!" After speaking, he hurriedly took the newly added food and wine and put it aside.

Zhou Zhi, who came here on purpose, smiled, picked up an empty bowl, filled it with wine and handed it to Li Si, then poured another bowl of wine himself, held it up and said, "Brother, you don't want to see outsiders! It's a pity that I didn't drink wine last night. Go down the mountain, otherwise it will be a great pleasure to see you slay your enemy with your own hands! Come, drink this bowl to the full, firstly, I wish you revenge, and secondly, I come to celebrate your promotion!"

Li Si wanted to refuse, but Zhou Zhi had already drunk the bowl, Li Si hurriedly drank the water and wine in his hands, Zhou Zhi walked straight over and patted Li Si on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You and I are both village masters. People who value you, don’t embarrass the village master in the future! If you have nothing to do, you should move around more!”

Li Silian claimed it was, Zhou Zhi laughed, said a few polite words, and called his sister-in-law to take it easy, before leaving.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Ma finally believed her husband's words just now, and her face overflowed with joy like flowers blooming, and she pulled Li Si to chatter non-stop.

After a long time, I suddenly saw a person who looked like an accountant and brought two minions to the table with a big box.Mrs. Ma thought that she was here to toast her husband again, fearing that Li Si would be dumbfounded and neglect him, so she quickly stood up and handed the wine to the visitor.The accountant was taken aback when he saw this, quickly took the wine, and said, "My sister-in-law is so enthusiastic, but the villain can't afford it!" After finishing the bowl of wine, he said to Li Si: "Boss Li, this table is all under your command." Right? My brother is here to register his name, please do me a favor!"

Ma Shi's pretty face flushed, it turned out that it was a routine matter, and she didn't come to find her husband on purpose.He hurriedly got up with the child in his arms, and made way to sit down with the gentleman. The gentleman smiled and bowed to Mrs. Ma, sat down on the table and prepared a pen and paper, and asked everyone to report their names and write one by one.After the matter was over, he asked the minions behind him to open the big box, only to see a piece of white light dazzled the eyes, and the neatly stacked high-quality silver ingots and bunches of copper coins in the box immediately aroused a burst of exclamation.

"Boss Li, here is Wenyin 120 taels, and there are 350 copper coins in addition, please keep it!" The accountant handed over the Wenyin that had been weighed in advance to Li Si.

Li Si was taken aback, and said, "Is this a reward for tonight? Why are there so many?"

Mr. Accountant chuckled, obviously he was used to the reaction of the audience early in the morning, and slowly explained: "You go out with the army, and you will get a total of 560 pennies and 29 coins in proportion. Receive 350 guan and 770 guan (120 guan) and another 350 guan is specially rewarded by the village master to those who have made great achievements in this campaign. In addition to you, there are two new leaders who have won this honor, so Here are a total of [-] Jiuguan and [-] articles. Boss Li, thank you for your trouble, and please sign it!"

Li Si suddenly realized, but said with a little embarrassment: "I...I can't write!"

Seeing this situation, the accountant had already made a record in his heart, and said: "Just press a fingerprint and draw a deposit!" After speaking, he handed over the ink pad and told the location.

Just as Li Si was drawing the pledge, the accountant turned his head to Ma Shi who was standing beside him holding the child and said: "Sister-in-law, here are your eleven pens and one hundred coins, please also draw the pledge!"

As expected of a couple, Ma's reaction was exactly the same as Li Si's, she was taken aback when she heard the words, and lost her voice: "And mine?"

The accountant is a good-natured man, and he said with a smile: "That's natural! Not only you, everyone has family members like sister-in-law who helped cook in the kitchen last night. If sister-in-law is willing to continue to help cook in the kitchen, she can go to the kitchen Report your name to Chief Zhou, and you will continue to enjoy the reward qualifications in the future!" After finishing speaking, he patted the child's head, and said: "If my sister-in-law wants to go to the kitchen, there will be someone to take care of the child during the day. It's just that the village master has ordered, Coming and going are all voluntary, not forced!"

Mrs. Ma was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly said: "I am willing! I am willing even if there is no reward! The village master avenged my family and treated us so kindly. "

Mr. Accountant is Zheng Qian's confidant. He knew the inside story of tonight's expedition, so he didn't say much at the moment. He nodded understandingly, and asked Ma Shi to draw a deposit. handprints.The accountant took the paper, and taught others to move out the other money in the box, and said to Li Si: "Boss Li, time is very tight, and the villain will not delay! This is 88 taels of Wenyin and 11 Wen copper coins. There are eight people here." They are all brothers who are new to the mountain, just like my sister-in-law, with an average of [-] per capita, and I ask everyone to draw a deposit first, and then I will ask Boss Li to share a point for me, and the villain will rush to another table to cancel the account! "
