The whole reed appeared in front of Jiang Anyi, and the swaying reeds flowed with a snow-white charm, decorating this waterway beautifully. Occasionally, a bird is startled by a boat, and the scattered reeds are like snowflakes. If he is free, Jiang Anyi will definitely be prosperous in poetry, and he may be able to write poems that have been passed down through the ages.

At this moment, Jiang Anyi, who was wearing ordinary fisherman's clothes, stared at the waterway in front of him attentively, nervously remembering the route map to the water village.

It was already the third day that he had discussed with Hong Chun to sneak into the water village, and he had also made preparations for infiltrating the water village Jiang Anyi. The gold medal on his body was handed over to Hong Laohan, and he asked him to take the whole family to Wuyang Mansion, and the disaster relief envoy Lord Duan should have already arrived there.

Hong Laohan had a letter written by Jiang Anyi with him, stating the fact that the grain ship had been robbed and that he would sneak into the water village to listen to the news, so that Lord Duan could prepare the officers and soldiers for the attack, and sent a master to sneak into the village to contact him, and agreed on a way to attack the water village to rescue Zuo Weiwei and eliminate the bandits.

At this moment, Jiang Anyi's identity is Deng Kun, the cousin of Hong Chun's mother's family, and the details have been agreed between the two. Deng Kun's family lived eighty miles away, and he also went to Hong Chun's house to play when he was a child. This time, because of the flood, he fled to Hong Chun's house, and met Hong Chun to pull people for the water village, so they went to the water village to fall into the grass together.

It was a pot-bellied boat, there were fifteen or sixteen people on board, and the leader was Wang Mazi. Hong Chun introduced Jiang Anyi to Wang Mazi and said: "Uncle Wang, this is my maiden cousin Deng Kun, you have also seen it when I was a child. Deng Kun, call Uncle Wang. ”

Jiang Anyi timidly shouted "Hello Uncle Deng", then lowered his head and stopped making a sound, looking like he had never seen the world shy.

Wang Mazi still remembers when Deng Kun came to the village to play when he was a child, Jiang Anyi's complexion was darker, his exposed arms were muscular, and he was like a farmer's child, so he didn't suspect anything else at all, and said to Hong Chun: "Ah Chun, your cousin takes care of himself, there are a lot of people in Shuizhai this time, I estimate that you can also be a small leader, don't forget to ask your uncle to drink at that time." ”

Jiang Anyi sat at the stern of the boat, seemingly unintentionally scratching the board with his fingernails, but in fact, he was secretly memorizing the waterline map of the boat. The boats weave through the reeds, not to mention those who have just arrived, and even those who have walked here for a long time are prone to getting lost.

However, the demon master in Jiang Anyi's head naturally has a set of methods for memorizing the terrain, the direction of the rising sun is east, and the direction of the mountain tip in the distance is northwest.

Most of the people on the boat were new to the water village, and the future was unknown, everyone was silent, and the image of Jiang Anyi bowing his head did not attract Wang Mazi's attention. Wang Mazi stood at the bow of the boat, commanding the direction, he has been in the mixed water village for nearly four years, and he is already a small leader.

The joy in Wang Mazi's heart was replaced by fear in an instant, this time the water village robbed the official food for disaster relief, and also arrested the people of the court, the court should be able to clean it up, and I don't know if the water village can be defended, if you can't keep it, your life will probably be lost, and everyone in the water village is sweating.

After about half an hour, the boat came out of the reeds, Jiang Anyi looked up, but saw the smoke and water in a vast area, and the geese in the air flew in formations, and there seemed to be clouds and mountains in the distance. I rowed towards the cloud mountain for a while, and I saw flags fluttering on the high mountain in the distance, the buildings were hidden, and there was a dense water village built on the beach at the foot of the mountain.

The boat is still a mile away, and a boat in the water village greeted it first, and the people who came asked Ming Wang Mazi loudly, and led the boat into the water village. After getting off the boat, Jiang Anyi came to the foot of the mountain, only to see the mountain peaks surrounding, the stone steps leading to different places, the apricot yellow flag fluttering overhead, and the three black characters of the mixed water village could be seen clearly.

Wang Mazi greeted loudly: "Hong Chun, you take these newcomers to the catfish mouth to rest, and wait for me to report to the big boss before making arrangements." ”

After speaking, Wang Mazi stepped on the stone steps to go up the mountain, Hong Chun beckoned everyone to follow him to the left, and along the way, he saw the minions with guns and knives, but they were all in good spirits, and their spirit was no less than that of the officers and soldiers. Walking through Lixu, I saw a wide place, this place called the catfish mouth has a hundred and ten houses, which can accommodate at least more than five hundred people. One room, two beds, four people, with face towels and quilts and other daily necessities. Hong Chun is an old man and arranged Jiang Anyi to live with him.

After settling down, Jiang Anyi hinted that Hong Chun came out and walked around, there were rows of houses at the foot of the mountain, vegetable fields were planted next to the houses, old people and women were working in the fields, greenery was full of scaffolding, and children were playing on the flat place, making chickens and dogs bark, it was like a paradise.

Hong Chun sighed and said: "These children are the family members of Shuizhai, to be honest, this place is really good, and there is no official messenger to urge food, if I can not fight, I want to move my family here." ”

Jiang Anyi was silent, Master Ziyun: Dutch government is fiercer than a tiger, and he believes it.

Wang Mazi passed through two passes along the mountain road and came to the gate of the Mixed Water Village, where the apricot yellow flag was fluttering on the high pole in front of the Mixed Water Village, which was the core of the Mixed Water Village. The minions guarding the village knew Wang Mazi and let him in. Behind the gate of the village is a flat square, there are more than 100 minions in practice, these people are the elite soldiers of the cottage.

The square is facing the lobby of the Juyi Hall, there are more than ten ear rooms on the left and right, and there are dozens of houses behind the Juyi Hall, where the families of the big leaders on the mountain live. There are three owners of the village in Mixed Water Village, who are brothers, surnamed Zhao, named Zhao Liangcai, Zhao Lianghan, and Zhao Liangtie.

This place was originally called Catfish Bay, there are seventy or eighty households, three of them are fishermen in the village, sixteen years ago the official came to pay taxes, molested the village women, Zhao Liangcai out of righteous indignation, unexpectedly killed the officer. The government sent people to arrest them, and the Zhao brothers and the villagers drove away the soldiers of the government. The officers and soldiers suffered several losses, but they did not dare to come here again, but turned Catfish Bay into a peach orchard, and many people came to take refuge.

Later, the mixed river dragon set up the green mountain water village, and fifteen miles away in the black wind port set up the black wind village. The mixed river dragon is powerful, sent to attack the fishing village, but the result is not good, the mixed river dragon simply invited Song Chonggui and Zhao Liangcai of the black wind village to discuss, the three families in one advance and retreat to deal with the officers and soldiers, nominally respect the mixed river dragon as the boss, called the king. Zhao Liangcai and Song Chonggui are kings side by side, of course, the boss is not in vain, giving the two younger brothers grain, grass and weapons, so there is today's scale.

The reeds have been planned to live and become a natural barrier for the water village, and the officers and soldiers dare not come in again, and the three water villages have become places outside the world, and the people inside live freely. However, this kind of freedom was shattered by the looting of disaster relief food, and everyone knew that the purge of officers and soldiers could come at any time.

The three brothers of the Zhao family in the Juyi Hall are all there, and the wind and waves make the three brothers look like iron. Zhao Liangcai is now in his early forties, and his career as the owner of the village for more than ten years has made him resolute and resolute, not angry and self-assured, and the lives of nearly 1,000 people in the cottage are in his hands, so that Zhao Liangcai does not dare to slack off.

Wang Mazi came in to greet the three village owners. Zhao Liangtie said with a smile: "Mazi, how many people have you recruited from the village this time?" ”

"If you go back to the third master, you will recruit fifteen people."

"What?" Zhao Lianghan couldn't help but said: "Nearly 100 people were recruited last time, why are there so few this time?" ”

"Second master, the disaster relief envoy of the court has arrived in Bingzhou, and the victims have hope, unlike the last time they were willing to follow those who stuttered." Wang Mazi said with a bitter face.

Zhao Liangcai's face became darker and darker like the bottom of a pot, and he said: "This time it was really a mistake to agree to mix Jianglong to rob grain, and I am afraid that the good days of Shuizhai will come to an end." ”

"What are you afraid of, big brother, those dog officers and soldiers dare to enter the water village, let's kill them to the bust." Zhao Liangtie didn't care about the authenticity. The bear-like appearance of those officers and soldiers in the early years still remembers him vividly.

Zhao Liangcai instructed Wang Mazi: "Newcomer, you appease well, practice with the previous batch of people, the big war is imminent, don't be sloppy." ”

Waiting for Wang Mazi to turn around and leave, Zhao Liangcai said to Zhao Liangtie, who didn't care: "Third child, this time is different from usual, I'm afraid that Shuizhai is really going to be in trouble." In normal times, those officers and soldiers are from the county, but this time we robbed the disaster relief money and food, and also arrested 500 Zuo Weiwei. Zuo Weiwei, I heard that it was the guard next to the Son of Heaven, and we got into big trouble. ”

"Big brother, this is no way, we have taken a lot of things over the years, and we still have to give face. Besides, the three of us are together, even if we don't rob the grain, the government will not be able to clean up us, so it is better to go and distribute some money and grain. Zhao Lianghan persuaded.

Zhao Liangcai got up sullenly and said, "You two use snacks, don't act like you're okay all day long, don't know when the officers and soldiers arrive at the gate of Shuizhai one day." ”

"Brother, don't worry, the reeds in front of our water village can't find the way even if they look for half a year." Zhao Liangtie laughed.

Zhao Lianghan also stiffened his face and said: "Third child, don't be in shape all day long, I see that the dragon statue of the mixed river has a big move, we can't be sold by him." The third brother, you can practice more for these newcomers, big brother, you will go to Qingshan Shuizhai tomorrow to see if you can get some weapons back, and if you can get back money and food. ”

The arrival of Wang Mazi announced the plan for the training of newcomers, Jiang Anyi started his training life as a new ding in the mixed water village, and also met Zhao Liangtie, the master of Sanzhai, and Zhao Liangtie seemed to be very interested in this new ding who was quick to accept.

In Wuyang Mansion, with the arrival of Duan Cizong with a large amount of money and food, the disaster relief work became orderly. Duan Cizong did not intervene in specific disaster relief matters, but he assigned the personnel he brought to the hardest-hit areas to supervise the local government's disaster relief and relief efforts. And he himself sat in the Bingzhou Assassin Mansion, always paying attention to the disaster relief situation.

Due to the news of the first batch of relief grain ships, Duan Cizong's plan to continue to go to Jinyang Mansion in Qingzhou was dispelled, and the disaster in Qingzhou was lighter than that of the state, so Duan Cizong sent officials to accompany him. Duan Cizong secretly sent someone to inform the Longwei Mansion to find out the news of the grain ship, and he was also anxiously waiting for Jiang Anyi's news.
