Water Margin Survival

Du Qian's wedding was very grand.

At noon yesterday, the people who had been tired for half the night woke up from their sleep and had a meal in a hurry. Under the leadership of Wang Lun, all the young and old mobilized to prepare for the wedding at night.

It didn't take long to see the whole village decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of festive atmosphere, even more lively than New Year's Eve.

Originally, I didn't intend to make it so hasty, after all, the groom's official is still in favor.According to Wang Lun's idea, he wanted to wait for him to come back from Tokyo to pick up Lin Chong's family, and then serve a good wine for this old brother who has followed him the longest.

There are two main advantages to this consideration. First, the arrow wound on Du Qian's arm should be healed, and second, it will allow him to contact the little lady of Lao Li's family for a period of time to cultivate and cultivate feelings.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the news that Wang Lun was leaving the mountain in two days, the groom's officials, who were still coy and reluctant to refuse, and the bride's family members, who were originally very eager, all expressed their unwillingness to wait.Du Qian, who was still upright that night, woke up at noon this day as if he was a different person, and he smirked at everyone he met.As if on a stimulant, the whole person was restless.

Fortunately, that day was the auspicious day of the zodiac, and it was a good time to get married. Wang Lun had no choice but to fulfill the wishes of the two families. Instead, he vigorously organized the wedding and announced in public: the cottage will bear all the expenses for this feast.In the future, if the leaders of the cottage are overjoyed, they will do the same.

That day, the cottage not only invited the whole mountain to drink Du Qian's wedding wine, but also cleaned up dozens of tables of wine and meat, and asked Du Qian's father-in-law to bring them back to the village to share with the villagers.Zhou Zhi, who heard the report, said that Mr. Li was very popular in the village. Everyone prepared wedding gifts, but he didn't confiscate them all.

As the elder brother of the bride, Li Ye, the pillar of the Li family, is busy with work and non-stop.This small school under Du Qian's original command has now become the brother-in-law of his immediate boss, and it will not look good to be under Du Qian's subordinates as before, so Wang Lun transferred Li Ye to Song Wan's side, and took over a lot. Confided bitterness to Wang Lun, complained about the part-time job of civil engineering supervision on Zhou Zhi who was too busy, and was promoted to a small boss at the same time, so that Li Ye would no longer have to go down the mountain with the army to fight. Peace of mind.

This time, in addition to contributing people, materials and resources, Wang Lun also allocated [-] pennies of congratulatory money from the public purse on behalf of the Shanzhai. The two newcomers will grow old together for a long time.

Seeing Wang Lun's generosity, the bride's family was very flattered, and they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.It's just that Du Qian insisted on not accepting Wang Lun's personal love, and he yelled: "I will accept the share from the cottage! But how can I accept money from my brother's private house? In the future, my brother will still have to keep it to marry Mrs. Yazhai." What's the matter with me taking all the little brother?" Wang Lun didn't talk to him at that time, but said: "Only if you take a regular wife, but in the future, if you ask for a concubine, I will ignore it!" Du Qian said so Hehe laughed straight, accepting Wang Lun's personal gift with all odds.

Later, when Du Qian saw that everyone was following Wang Lun, he made a statement in advance: "The leaders all went up the mountain not long ago, and no more than [-] guan will be charged. Anyone below the leader will not be charged. Everyone just brings their stomachs to drink. Give me Du Qian face."

So everyone imitated Wang Lun and gave away 99 coins, and only said that they would be auspicious like their elder brothers.Even if this is the case, the bride's family, who have seen the world, look very hot. Be good, the gift money is not less than three or four thousand guan?

Being able to make such a scene, my daughter will not lose in this life.

Wang Lun also went to make trouble in the bridal chamber at night, and saw that Ruan Xiaoqi drank too much. Ruan Xiaoer who came to congratulate him couldn't hold him back, he just looked at each other in blank dismay, confused.I just secretly speculated in my heart, could it be that my younger brother also wants to marry a wife?

When the bridal chamber was over, the two of them settled the drunk Xiaoqi, regardless of the night, and then ran to the old lady's room to discuss it in whispers all night.

On the second day of the wedding, early in the morning, the newlyweds went to the Juyi Hall to pay homage to the parents of both parties. Because Du Qian followed Wang Lun up the mountain alone, Wang Lun took the place of the man's parents to meet with the couple. Mr. Li sat side by side and received three respects from the happy couple.Then everyone talked in the hall for a while, and when everyone started drinking again, Wang Lun saw that it was not early, got up and whispered a few words to Du Qian, then dragged the bewildered Lin Chong down the mountain, came to Sitting on the ground beside the mountain road to the east of Shuibo.

"Brother, why don't you drink Du Qian's brother's wedding wine in the cottage, but just drag your younger brother here?" Lin Chong asked puzzled.

Wang Lun smiled and said: "I think there is no one in the cottage who can fight against my brother. I am afraid that my brother will be lonely. Now there is a master passing by here, so I invite him to go up the mountain to talk about it, have a glass of wedding wine, and by the way, I can tell my brother to show off. Take a break!"

Seeing this, Lin Chong asked in confusion, "Who is this person? Does Lin Chong know him?"

Wang Lun smiled slightly, sighed softly, and said: "He is also a man of bad luck. Back then, when he escorted Hua Shigang, he overturned the boat in the river and ended up in the rivers and lakes. Now that Zhao Guan's family amnesties the world, this man seems to have seen Dawn, sold all his belongings, and went to Tokyo to seek accommodation with Gao Qiu..."

"Could it be Yang Zhishi who is called the blue-faced beast?" Lin Chong asked in surprise.

"It's this person, I got a spy report, he has to pass by this road today, I'll just wait here!" Wang Lun nodded.

Seeing this, Lin Chong also nodded and said, "I heard that he is the grandson of Duke Yang Ling of Jin Dao. Let's meet each other!" After speaking, he sighed again, and sighed: "A criminal who loses his official position, a king of mountains in the green forest, is also suitable for the scene!"

Seeing this, Wang Lun patted the back of Lin Chong's hand and said, "Don't worry, brother. Being a bandit is not a long-term solution. I will try my best to find a future for my brothers."

"Brother, don't you mean to ask for security?" Lin Chong turned his head to look at Wang Lun and asked.

Wang Lun smiled noncommittally, and sighed, "Send the meat to the cutting board, and let Cai Jing Gaoqiu play with it?"

One sentence resonated strongly with Lin Chong, and he only heard him say, "Who doesn't want to live a life in peace, but the world can tolerate it! Either serve as a lackey for this thief, or be driven by that eunuch. Now think about it, it's still these two things. Live like a person."

Wang Lun nodded and persuaded: "Don't worry, brother, I have some ideas in my heart, but I'm not mature yet, and brother will know by himself!"

Lin Chong looked at a smear of cloud in the sky, and sighed, "If you can't trust your brother, who else can you trust?"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

The two waited for a while, and there was no sign of anyone on the long mountain road.I saw Lin Chong picking up a piece of grass root, poking it lightly, and suddenly said: "Brother, there was a brother who was shot in the vitals by an arrow the night before, and died last night!"

Wang Lun sighed, and replied: "I have heard about this too. This brother is from Qingzhou, his hometown is not far from here, his parents are there, and there is a younger brother. The belongings left by this brother, plus 100 taels of silver, should have been sent to this brother’s home by this time.”

Lin Chong was very surprised when he heard this, and said, "Is this 100 taels a regular pension in the Shanzhai?"

Wang Lun nodded, only looking at a withered ancient ginkgo tree in front of the mountain, silently lost in thought.

Little did he know that Lin Chong's heart was also surging at this time, and there was a turbulent sea.

Thinking that his Lin family has been in the army for many generations, and he himself is the gun and stick instructor of the 80 forbidden army in Tokyo, how could he not be aware of the court's usual compensation fees for fallen soldiers? It's not enough to make up for a fraction, so why not make people feel turbulent.

No wonder the minions all marched forward bravely that night. Although these people's personal martial arts skills are far inferior to those of the well-trained imperial soldiers in Tokyo, the will to fight without fear of death can't be helped. Lin Chong was filled with emotion.

It has been a long time since he saw this kind of spirit in ordinary pawns.

Suddenly, he remembered that when he entered the village at night, the villagers heard that it was the Liangshan team, and they clapped their hands together, as if they were welcoming the master of the king. Fever, he who originally had such a self-abandoned mentality that he had nowhere to go, suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment at this moment.

"Your Majesty, do you still accept people on the mountain..."

"Your Majesty, I would rather not have these grains, but I just beg your Majesty to take my boy up the mountain!"

"My lord, we have to go up the mountain..."

Lin Chong was replaying the scenes that happened that night in his mind. He didn't realize that there was movement on the mountain road at this time. He saw a man panting and rushing here with a load. Suddenly, Wang Lun yelled and threw Lin Chong woke up.

"Man Wu, if you know something, don't talk nonsense, just go back and call your master!"

As soon as the man heard Wang Lun's words, he thought to himself that he had encountered a robbery. He was so frightened that three souls lost two souls, put down his burden and ran back.Wang Lun chuckled, sat back on the spot, pointed at the load of goods, and said to Lin Chong, "Brother, have you seen that Xiaomin's life savings are about to be sent to that corrupt official's mouth, and I'm afraid that he won't say anything. What a world!"

Lin Chong shook his head and just sighed.

Not long after, a big man appeared on the mountain road in a threatening manner.I saw the man wearing a fanyang felt hat with a red tassel sprinkled on his head; a white satin shirt with a collar, tied with a longitudinal sash, with blue interlaced ties underneath, clutching the opening of his trousers, and deer skin socks.Boots with fur; a knife at the crotch, and a simple knife with a handle; born seven feet five or six, with a green mark on the skin, and a little red beard on the side of the cheek; put the felt hat on the spine, open the chest, Wearing a soft turban with claws, and holding a simple knife, there was anger between his brows, and he wanted to grit his teeth, and rushed to this side in anger.
