Water Margin Survival

After deciding to borrow food, the four leaders of the cottage including Wang Lun were very open-minded. Song Wan invited everyone back to the table for a drink, and kept persuading Wang Lun, "Even if the elder brother only eats a bowl of water, the younger brother is also in the heart." Have fun!" Wang Lun couldn't shirk, so he had to follow the crowd to the Juyi Hall.

A group of six people chatted and laughed on the road, and when they were about to arrive at the Juyi Hall, Wang Lun suddenly caught a glimpse of two adults, a man and a woman, with their children standing at the entrance of the hall, looking like a family. The young couple were looking down at themselves, their eyes shrinking.

Wang Lun took a closer look, and found that the person in the lead was Li Si who had just apologized to him, and next to him was a woman in her early twenties. Although the woman's appearance was not very outstanding, she was quite attractive. Very attractive in the world of men.Hiding behind the young couple is a child about three or four years old, who is tearing and biting the fat chicken leg in his hand with his small mouth open, and sucking his greasy little hand in his mouth from time to time, his appearance is really cute.

Wang Lun saw that the family of three seemed to be waiting for him, so he went in without haste, met them face to face, and went forward to hold the child in his arms.The child saw a stranger come to hug him, but he didn't struggle and make noise, just snuggled into Wang Lun's arms obediently, gnawing on the chicken leg in his hand intently.That kind of single-minded concentration made Wang Lun and Du Qian who stopped and others burst out laughing.

The little woman saw that her child's face was covered with oil stains, she was afraid of staining Wang Lun's sleeves, so she hurriedly took the child, Wang Lun smiled and shook his head, just teasing the child in her arms.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Li Sixiang made up his mind and said to Wang Lun, "Master, I... I can't speak! I will always remember the kindness that the master gave to our family, I will always remember it. My wife wants to offer a bowl to the village master!" After speaking, he handed a bowl of wine to Wang Lun very cautiously.

Seeing this, Zheng Qian laughed at the side: "Li Si, the village master of your heart has taken it, but he is recovering from a serious illness and it is not convenient for him to drink. I will drink this wine for the village master!" The bowl of wine in Li Si's hand.

When Li Si heard this, his face flushed, and he quickly explained: "I forgot about this, and I ask the village master to forgive me!"

"It's okay!"

Wang Lun waved his hand, pressed Zheng Qian who was eager to replace the wine, and single-handedly hugged the child who was gnawing on the chicken leg in his arms, and took the whole bowl full of this era from the hand of Li Si who looked frightened. The low-alcohol village wine, I drank it without any hesitation.

Seeing Li Si and the young woman, he hurriedly drank all the water and wine in his hands. After drinking, the couple's faces were flushed, and they were both a little excited.Seeing how simple they were, Wang Lun was not in a hurry to leave. He chatted, "Li Si, where are you from? Why do you want to bring your wife and children to Dazhai?"

Unexpectedly, Li Si saw that Wang Lun did not leave after drinking, but asked about his own situation, which surprised him very much.Immediately, a sense of being flattered and surprised filled the whole body, and the whole person stood there hesitantly.It wasn't until later that the woman couldn't stand it any longer and secretly tugged at her husband's sleeve, Li Si finally came back to his senses, and after he had recovered his composure, he replied: "If you go back to the village master, I and my wife are originally He is a villager in Xixi Village, Dongmenwai, Yuncheng County. He has been a small guest in Baozheng's house for generations. Because Xiaobaozheng is not good, he sees my wife's beauty and often comes to make noise at home! I went to Baozheng's house to complain, but was repeatedly kicked out by old Baozheng. Come on, my parents just vomited for a while and left..." At this point, Li Si's eyes were reddish, and he gritted his teeth, "I don't know that the beast not only didn't restrain himself, but even worsened, he came to make trouble in the mourning hall that night by getting drunk. , I couldn't bear it and broke my arm with a shoulder pole, and the little beast on the spot clamored to send me to a lawsuit, so I was forced to vote for the cottage overnight!"

After hearing this, Wang Lun was furious, and he smashed the wine bowl on the steps in front of the hall, cursing: "How dare this bastard be so rude? Is there no law in Yuncheng County? I heard that at that time Wen Bin is a good shepherd, how can he be so turbid under his rule!?"

Seeing that Wang Lun was so angry, Zhu Gui hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Brother, calm down, and take care of your body! I have heard about what this Baozheng in Li Si Village has done in the past, and I have heard about it!" Seeing Wang Lun looking at himself, he said in detail, "I heard that anyone in Xixi Village who dared to rebel against him, no matter if you were a tenant or a villager, was beaten to death with a club in secret, and then thrown into the stream beside the village. Tempting people into the water! Over the years, either monks have been invited to recite scriptures, or Taoist priests have been invited to perform rituals. In fact, they are all to cover up their crimes! The government has been fed by him, and never came to investigate!"

"I also know about this!" Hearing Zhu Gui's detailed explanation, Song Wanyi slapped his thigh and said, "That day, Xixi Village Baozheng asked someone to chisel a pagoda out of bluestone and place it by the stream, in order to suppress the ghosts in the water. Don't come to Xixi Village. Unexpectedly, Baozheng of Dongxi Village is a hero. He took the pagoda and put it on the side of his own village. Don’t dare to let it go, this matter is over! After this incident, Baozheng Chao Gai of Dongxi Village gained the nickname of Tota Heavenly King. I was traveling around the rivers and lakes and heard many people talking about it, so I learned about it!”

Wang Lun gradually calmed down after hearing the whole story, nodded to Song Wan and said, "I have also heard about the name of Chao Baozheng in Dongxi Village. It is rumored in the world that he is a hero who stands up to heaven and earth. In addition, there is a Song Yu Song in Yuncheng County. Gong Ming, who currently holds the position of a prison officer, has a good reputation in Jianghu for helping the poor. Li Si, let me ask you! Have you ever gone to the county government to sue?"

Li Si shook his head, his face seemed to be about to cry, and said sadly: "Master, my family is just a small guest who rents out an acre of land for generations. He has no money and no power. Even if he appeals, how can he be an opponent in the village? I have heard the name of Yasi from the villagers, but he used to be the guest of Baozheng's family, they are like one person, everyone in the village has seen him personally, how dare I go forward and sue for injustice?" Song Song There are generally two types of tenants who rent and grow large farmland by the hour. One is called Niu Ke, who has self-cultivated cattle, and the other is called Xiao Ke, who has no cattle at home.The difference between the two lies in the amount of tax paid to the landlord. Generally, cattle tenants share half of the harvest with the landlord, while small tenants have to pay more than [-]%. In addition to the harvest, they have to do things for the landlord's family unconditionally, and are ordered and enslaved by others. Even the family members are not spared, and their status is very humble.

"Brother, the way of the world is like this, what can the people do!" Seeing Wang Lun's unhesitating expression, Du Qian also persuaded.

Wang Lun glanced at the faces of Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui one by one, and said: "Li Situo's family took me to Liangshan, and it was you and my siblings, who were injured and hurt! His grievances The government doesn't care, so don't I care about the cottage? I don't think this wine will taste good anymore! It won't snow tonight. Brothers Du Qian and Song Wan don't want to refuse to work hard. We will go down the mountain overnight to see and see The prestige of Baozheng in Xixi Village! In addition, brothers Zhugui don’t go back to the hotel. Brother Lao will take the children to guard the cottage tonight! Li Si! Take the whole family and children down and eat enough, and you will lead the way when it gets dark, my cottage I must give you justice!"

When Li Si and the woman heard Wang Lun's words, they immediately burst into tears. They both knelt down and kowtowed: "The kindness of the village master cannot be repaid by ten thousand deaths!"

Wang Lun helped the two of them and returned the child to them, but at this moment Song Wan said loudly: "Brother, don't talk about hard work! It's just that I want you to go down the mountain in person, what face do I have to wait for you! Brother is just recovering from a serious illness. If we are resting in the cottage, I will go with brother Du's family, and we will meet him with Nabao righting his head!"

Wang Lun knew that Song Wan was out of good intentions, which was different from Song Jiang's intention to empty Chao Gai in the future.But he didn't want to follow Chao Gai's example. He settled everything on the mountain and never did it himself. In the end, everyone on the mountain and down the mountain only knew that there was Song Jiang, but not Chao Gai.

Wang Lun patted Song Wan on the shoulder and said, "I appreciate the brother's kindness, but the situation is too bad! Since Li Si entered the cottage, his grievances are the grievances of my cottage. If I don't do it myself I'm afraid that it will be difficult to sleep and eat in the future. Besides, Xixi Village and Dongxi Village are separated by a stream, and Chao Tianwang of Dongxi Village is not an idler. , but after all, he is from the same town! I am waiting for the big team to go to revenge. There must be a lot of movement. I am afraid that I will disturb him at that time and cause misunderstandings. , but that's the deal!"

Song Wan saw that Wang Lun was thoughtful, so he didn't insist anymore.Du Qian and Zhu Guijian said that they didn't persuade them anymore. They just invited Wang Lun to the table together to discuss the matter of revenge for Li Si at night.
