Water Margin Survival

The setting sun that is about to end is still hovering on the edge of the horizon, and the giant island that has been bustling all day is gradually calming down.When the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the sparkling lake, it directly reflects an intoxicating golden color.

The lake breeze blowing from the eight-hundred-mile lake brings a touch of coolness to Liaoerwa in early summer.But at this time, on the spacious flat ground in front of Houshan Shulu, about a hundred men were sitting on the ground, listening to a middle-aged Confucian scholar chatting and giving a speech at the front desk.

"What is righteousness? Where does righteousness come from? In fact, righteousness comes from our childhood. I am afraid that most of you here were born in rural or poor families. Since you were born, you have not only come from your parents Apart from spiritual care, you have never received the shadow of your ancestors. Your childhood life may not be better than that of chickens and pigs, because when chickens and pigs grow up, they can be sold to others, and the benefits are direct, but it is still unknown whether the son will be successful When you grow up, you will help your parents, engage in various kinds of labor, or go to the mountains to beg for firewood, or go to the river to fish, or go to the market to sell vegetables..."

"When you are fishing, begging for firewood, and selling vegetables, in order to prevent the attack of wild animals and thugs, you often go together. At this time, friends are your lonely comforters and supporters of your life. Until you grow up When you live in the world, the importance of your friends increases. You value your friends and regard loyalty as the highest morality. This is because of the environment. We often say..."

Seeing the details, this gentleman is really not simple!

Looking at Wen Huanzhang, who was talking at the front desk, and Wang Lun, who sat at the end of the crowd and listened quietly, suddenly realized.It's no wonder that the vulgar man and Zhang San are always scrambling to write words, and it's no wonder that Ruan Xiaoqi knows the allusions about circumcision, and he really learned it from this gentleman.

Seeing the back of a fat monk sitting in the front, Wang Lun unconsciously showed a smile. Ever since he was encouraged by himself on Shizipo, Master Lu would come to hear his chatter about the past and the present whenever he had nothing to do at night.

Just when everyone was listening with gusto, they suddenly heard a snoring sound, only heard the sound was ups and downs, cadenced, it was very harsh in this quiet summer night, and immediately caused the big guys in front to burst into laughter.

The gentleman was not annoyed when his speech was interrupted, he just smiled and picked up his teacup to drink water.Seeing this, everyone laughed and turned around, wanting to see who was so rude, but when everyone saw that person clearly, they were all shocked!

But seeing that the person who was still sleeping soundly was not the village owner himself and the leader Jiao Ting?Immediately afterwards, I saw the village master sitting on the side, the smiles of the crowd froze on their faces, and then it was no laughing, and no laughing anymore, just when they were embarrassed, they saw Wang Lun smiling and waving at them. Said: "Jin'er, you came to see my family Jiao Ting?" Then the savage suddenly woke up, looking around, where could he find the beautiful figure that made him dream about it.

Seeing Jiao Ting like this, everyone couldn't help laughing anymore, a burst of laughter immediately sounded, and the bird that lived in the forest was startled and flew around, only to see Jiao Ting giggling, not paying attention.When Wen Huanzhang and Lu Zhishen saw Wang Lun in front, they both stood up to greet Wang Lun. They only heard Huanzhang say: "Since the leader is here, let's come up and say a few words!" Speak, brothers!"

Wang Lun couldn't shirk it, so he had no choice but to come forward and sit on the floor facing the crowd. He coughed and then said, "Thanks to Mr. Wen's visit to Liangshan, not only the school-age children have the opportunity to read and write, but also the big guys grow up." A lot of insights! In order to express our gratitude, everyone applauds Mr.!"

After speaking, Wang Lun took the lead and applauded, and everyone responded positively. Wen Huanzhang clasped his fists at Wang Lun and the big guys to express his thanks.Everyone applauded for a while, and looked at Wang Lun, wanting to hear what the village master would say to the big guys today, and some people with good things secretly thought in their hearts, who has more knowledge, Mr. Wen or the village master? ?Although they are usually from the background of scholars, seeing the village owner make the village so prosperous, they are loyal and fair to people, but Mr. Wen is ten years older than the village owner, and the ink in his stomach should be bigger than that of the village owner. How about some more?

"Mr. Wen just said very well, very wonderful! He introduced the origin of 'righteousness' from the origins of all of us here. I heard everyone listened so seriously, I think it is because of the yearning for this word 'righteousness', in the future His behavior and behavior will also move closer to righteousness, won't he!"

"Yes!" Everyone replied loudly after hearing the words.

Wang Lun lowered his hands, and said again: "Okay, since we are talking about 'righteousness', some people must think in their hearts, if they have achieved loyalty to their friends, has this reached the peak of morality? It's like When you climb to the top of a mountain, you feel that there is nowhere to climb, and you wonder whether you have reached the closest position to the sky!"

Everyone burst into laughter, at this moment Lu Zhishen said: "Brother, shouldn't one's loyalty be the first thing to do? Why do I feel that my brother's words are scratching the itch of the family, but it's not enough?"

Wang Lun laughed, and said again: "Okay, let's take Lu Tiha's experience as an example. Everyone knows that Lu Tiha escorted Teacher Lin for thousands of miles. This is a manifestation of loyalty, because Teacher Lin is Lu Tisha's brother, so Lu Tixia resolutely took this step regardless of the consequences of offending Sanya Taiwei Gaoqiu, this is the righteousness to friends and brothers! But..."

Speaking of this, Wang Lun emphasized his tone, and continued: "However, Lu Tixia beat Zhenguanxi to death with three punches and rescued Jin Cuilian's father and daughter, but it cannot be summed up in terms of loyalty! Why? Because Lu Tixia didn't know Jin Cuilian at all. Father and daughter just met by chance, not friends, let alone brothers, so saving them from the flames is not showing the 'righteousness' of friends to brothers!"

"Here a concept of 'benevolence' is introduced. Lu Tisha has raised from the righteousness of friends to the benevolence of the world. Regardless of whether he and the old father and daughter of Jin are friends or brothers, he will treat such injustices in the world. If you want to manage, you have to fight against injustice. In fact, Lu Tisha has transformed from the righteousness of cherishing friends in his heart to the "benevolence" of caring for all living beings. This is the word "righteousness". After the pinnacle of the character, you will naturally see another high mountain, 'Ren'!"

Lu Zhishen was enlightened when he heard the words, and his heart felt like the window paper that had been impenetrable was suddenly pierced, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in the hole, which made him see a higher level of realm.He instantly thought of the four characters "Walk the Way for Heaven" flying on the big flag in front of the Juyi Hall. Isn't this just a manifestation of benevolence! ?

The rest of the people were all ignorant, they didn't quite understand the meaning of Wang Lun's words, but they felt very powerful and profound, and they couldn't figure out how to describe this feeling, and they were all scratching their heads. , take great pains.

At this time, Zhang San suddenly ran over and shouted: "Brother, brother is going to have a baby, it's going to be a baby!"

Seeing this, Wang Lun glared at him, but the guy didn't speak clearly, who is going to give birth?Suddenly, it occurred to the midwife that a few days ago that Mrs. Xu Ning was going to give birth in the next two days, and she didn't care if he didn't speak clearly, so she hurriedly asked, "But Mrs. Xu is going to give birth?"

"Exactly, exactly!" Zhang San replied out of breath.

Wang Lun hurriedly clasped his fists at the crowd, and rushed to the family compound with Jiao Ting and Zhang San. Seeing this, Lu Zhishen immediately got up and followed.Only Wen Huanzhang looked at the back of Wang Lun leaving in a daze, in a daze. At this time, he was still amazed and thought, when a bandit leader is not satisfied with "righteousness" and starts to talk about "benevolence" to all living beings , How lofty the ambition of this person should be!

It seems that I have never understood the true ambition of this little friend!

I think he has lived in this cottage for more than two months. Although he saw that Wang Lun's behavior was very different from that of the heroes he met when he was young. The population is getting more and more prosperous, but I didn't think about it deeply. I thought Wang Lun was just clever and wanted to expand his power quickly so that he could sell it to the court for a higher official position.In fact, this is all human nature. Isn’t the saying, “If you want to be an official, kill and set fire and be recruited”?Isn't that what all my old friends did back then?Doesn't Xu Jing, who was born in Jianghu, see that he is serving as the military governor of the Shangdang?

But it wasn't until tonight that he heard Wang Lun's words about righteousness and benevolence that he had to re-examine this little friend.Given his current situation, with so many shortcuts to take, why did he choose the most difficult and dangerous path?And if you choose to fight against this huge empire to the end, if you are not careful, you will lose everything!

Wen Huanzhang shook his head, and said to the whispering audience in front of him: "Let's stop here today, everyone don't come here tomorrow, I want to meditate for a few days!" After speaking, he got up and rushed to Xu Ning's residence , Walking on the mountain path, he recalled Wang Lun's way of doing things in his heart again, and a faint passion arose in his heart unconsciously. The intense feeling made him wish he could scream up to the sky and let it out for a while.

When Wen Huanzhang arrived, Wang Lun was already playing with the baby in his arms, and saw the baby's red face, eyes wide open, looking straight at the person in front of him, smiling and not crying, Everyone was amazed when they saw it, Zhang San smiled and ran to Xu Ning and said: "Mr. Xu, my brother is not bad!"

At this moment Xu Ning was so happy that he couldn't sit still, he walked back and forth in the room, went into the room to look at the woman on the bed, and then ran out to look at his son Wang Lun was holding. Hearing this, he said with a smile: " Not bad, not bad! It’s really a son, it’s really a son!”

Zhang San said with a smile: "That's right! If it's a daughter, brother won't be in the top position, and he will just compensate the teacher!"

Seeing this, Du Qian stepped forward and said, "Brother, my daughter-in-law is also pregnant, so let me do the math!"

Wang Lun teased the baby in his arms, and said with a smile: "I can only count it once in ten years, and it has already belonged to Xu Sheng's child, and it will be impossible to count again!"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words. Du Qian touched his head and sighed. Wang Lun said, "What's wrong with being a daughter? If you want to have a son, who will they marry? If you want to have a son, you can't help it!"

When Du Qian heard the words, hope was ignited in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the solution!?"

Wang Lun said with a smile: "I have to tell my little sister-in-law to suffer, and give birth to a few more, and one of them will always be a son!"

Du Qian was awakened by a word, and laughed loudly: "It's the truth, it's the truth!"

While everyone was laughing, they saw the little head of the hotel at the foot of the mountain brought a woman up to look for Lin Chong. He stood outside the door and dared not come in. Everyone came out together when they heard the words. The woman saw so many people, but she didn't know which one It was the person I was looking for, and he knelt down and said, "Master Lin Chong, save my elder brother!"
