Gu Haotian didn't know that he had accidentally become a "moving figure" in the Zhou Dynasty version, and after he was re-banned, he still carried out the original exercise plan without moving, but the overboard incident reminded him that it was necessary to strengthen swimming training. For this request, the family originally disagreed, and then Bian Xiang timidly made a suggestion, he said: The two boys of the old man's family who fell into the water are not bad, and if they are called to be the servants of the petty officials to accompany them to practice, they will not make mistakes. Gu Zhen finally agreed, after all, learning to drink water is also an increase in life-saving skills, so he asked Bian Zhong to go to Ma's house to explore the situation.

Ma Laohan's real name is Ma Laosan, forty-seven or eight years old, but he looks like a person in his sixties and seventies, he was originally a Huaixi farmer, because his wife was sick, he borrowed a loan shark from a local landlord, and in the end his wife did not save him, but made his family bankrupt. In desperation, he took his two young sons to Yuncheng County to join his relatives, but unexpectedly, the relatives had moved away, and after being desperate, he wandered to Gujiazhuang. Seeing that he was pitiful, the Gu Yuan rented him a few acres of land, and he became a tenant farmer of the Gu family and settled down temporarily. After several years of work, the children grew older, the family gradually stabilized, originally wanted to borrow the farm to catch some fish in exchange for some income, in the future, it is better to return to the roots, return to the hometown to settle down, but unexpectedly fell into the water and other things, almost died.

Ma Laosan agreed to Bian Zhong's request without thinking about it, but he did not agree to the relevant compensation proposed by Bian Zhong, he repeatedly emphasized, "The little official has such a precious body, in order to save the old man's bad life, he fought for some accidents, and the lives of the old man and the two boys should be given to him, and it is their blessing to be able to be with a character like a little official, not to mention anything else." In the end, Bian Zhong exempted his family from rent, and said that he was originally in a Zhuangzi, and the petty officials did not send too much, and if there was a priority, the two boys could come back at any time to take care of it, and it was settled.

The two brothers of the Ma family, the eldest Ma Qiang is seventeen years old, and the second one is sixteen years old. The arrival of the Ma family brothers, the happiest was Bian Xiang, who had been running errands for many years and was finally promoted to foreman, and he was much more energetic all of a sudden, even if he spoke in front of Chunya, his voice was louder. Bian Zhong asked someone to clean up a room next to Bian Xiang's room for the two brothers to live in, and it was not compulsory, and they were free to go back and forth

In Gu Haotian's eyes, Bian Xiang, Ma Qiang, and Ma Wei are exactly the same violent muscular men, no, the training ground in the back garden has immediately become a colosseum since the addition of these two brothers. Bian Xiang's strength is slightly greater, but the two brothers do not admit defeat, and they fight each other in the back garden every day, and they never get tired of it. Gu Haotian also took advantage of the situation and added some equipment such as stone locks and barbells to the garden, giving these energetic guys a few more channels to vent, but the food supply in the east wing increased sharply. In terms of food, Gu Haotian treated the Ma brothers and Bian Xiang the same, after the initial panic, the two brothers were as determined to Gu Haotian as Bian Xiang, and they all understood that the petty officials did not treat them as servants.

The season slowly entered the winter, and the cold weather made the original swimming plan have to be shelved, but there were two more people in the morning jogging team on the mountain trail. Bian Xiang looked at the two panting rookies behind him, and his heart couldn't squeak.

"What's the matter, I didn't eat yesterday, and I ran like my sisters." Bian Xiang deliberately drank two sentences from time to time.

The brothers of the Ma family are depressed to death, Bian Xiang is a big man, and the little official, who is obviously one size smaller, can run so steadily.

"Bian Xiang, am I going to take out your ugly things and talk about it." Gu Haotian looked at Bian Xiang's villain's appearance and thought about it.

"Don't, don't, petty official." Bian Xiang tried his best to maintain his glorious image.

"yes, then you go and train the two of them well."

"Hey." Talking about it, he went as his head of the sect.

After three or five days like this, the morning jogging team of these four people is also decent, and it is very imposing.

In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice is coming, the people of Gujiazhuang are busy with the festival, they prepare sacrifices to enjoy the ancestors, go to relatives and friends to have dinner and talk about the old, wrap wontons, good people also stew mutton soup, and so on.

Since Ma Laosan lived alone, on this day, Gu Haotian asked Bian Xiang to bring a leg of mutton and some things for the festival to send the Ma brothers home for the holiday. The Ma family is on the south side of Zhuangzi, facing the river, with three adobe main houses and two short wings on the right, surrounded by gravel and mud to form a small courtyard. The visit of the Gu Xiaoguan made Ma Laosan excited, and he was grateful for the kindness of the Gu family and the Xiaoguan to his two sons in the past month. Gu Haotian asked Bian Xiang to hand over the items and sat on the chair set up by Ma Qiang.

"Old man, the two brothers Ma Qiang are not very good at home these days, you are doing well."

"It's good, it's good." The old man was a little nervous, and he didn't know what to say.

Gu Haotian inspected this simple home, and the sight was messy and dilapidated, which was what the old man said, "It's good". Then he saw the old fishing net hanging in the yard, and couldn't help but wonder, how could this fisherman not know the nature of the water?

"Old man, your fishing skills are ......"

"When I was young, I knew this craft in my hometown in Huaixi, and I never left it behind after moving here."

"Then the old man should know that the water nature is, why did he ...... that day"

"Alas, it's a long story," the old man fell into his memory, and slowly calmed down, "A few years ago, the old man drove a boat along the small river in front of him to a big lake in the east to fish. The old man's eyes lit up, "It's really a large surface of water, and it is rumored that there are hundreds of miles in radius. The sides are densely covered with reeds, and there are many large and small water surfaces. There was a lot of fish in this lake, and the old man had a great harvest that day, but he was robbed by a gang of strong men who came out of the reeds, and his arms were seriously injured, so he could no longer paddle in the water. ”

Gu Haotianxin was shocked by the old man's description, he seemed to have grasped something, by the way, it was "a big water surface, hundreds of miles". Later generations remembered a famous lake in this area.

"Old man, does this big surface of water have a name?"

"There is a name, and the locals call it Liangshanbo."

"Have you heard of any peaks in this lake?"

"Yes, it is said that there is a steep mountain in this lake called Liangshan, and the name of this lake is taken from the name of the mountain."

The Zhou Dynasty also has Liang Shanbo, is there also a hundred and eight generals, Gu Haotian was taken aback by his thoughts, this is too bloody.

"Little official, it's almost noon." Looking at the little officials who were a little distracted, Bian Xiang gently reminded.

Gu Haotian came back to his senses, looked at the old Ma Laosan, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he turned around and told Bian Xiang to go back and let his father find a light job, so that Ma Laosan could also go to the house to help, and it was also convenient for their family to get together and take care of it.

The care of the petty officials made the three members of the Ma family grateful, and Ma Laosan was even more full of tears, and even claimed: "Little officials, benefactors, benefactors." ”

On the way home, the three words of Liang Shanbo kept jumping in Gu Haotian's thinking. As a fourth-grade person who began to watch "Water Margin", he was too familiar with the story of Liangshanbo, and he couldn't help jumping out of his mind what Liangshan Juyi, the court recruited An, fought the Liao State, suppressed Tian Hu, and begged Wang Qing...... At this moment, his thinking suddenly paused, as if he had caught something, "Tian Hu, Wang Qing," he repeatedly muttered in his mouth.

Bian Xiang followed behind him, staring at the little official who was outside the fugue world, very nervous, for fear that he would have another accident, but seeing that one of the little official's feet was about to step into the ditch, "Little official, be careful." Before the words were finished, he had already held Gu Haotian with one hand.

Bian Xiang, Gu Haotian paused, and suddenly found his confusion, isn't the prime minister of Tianhu Bian Xiang, and then thought that the generals under Wang Qing don't have Ma Qiang and Ma Xian. He stared at Bian Xiang for a while, but he couldn't connect the fool in front of him with Tian Hu's prime minister, but Bian Xiang was shocked by it.

This afternoon, Gu Haotian was not calm again, he did not go to the back garden to exercise for the first time, and locked himself in the bedroom. The appearance of Liang Shanbo made him strongly feel that there may be major variables in his crossing fate, if there is really a Liangshan Juyi in this era, then will he penetrate the Water Margin again. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he was a little excited, if there were really heroes from all walks of life in the Water Margin, would it have a positive effect on the future invasion of the Golden Soldiers. In an instant, Gu Haotian felt that a weed was growing wildly in his heart, and he felt that since God had let him travel to this world, he should do something.

Next, he began the process of verification, first of all, the three people around him.

Ma Qiang and Ma Wei were originally subordinates of Wang Qing of Huaixi, and they should be from Huaixi, and these two guys are precisely from Huaixi, if his father does not fall into the water and meets him, these two guys are likely to return to their hometown.

Bian Xiang, he also took the opportunity to learn about Bian Zhong recently. The Bian family was originally from Qinyuan, Hebei, Bian Zhong is the cousin and sister of Gu Haotian's little lady Bian Xiulian and the same grandfather, the Bian family originally did some small business of grain and oil in Qinyuan, but because of the oppression and bankruptcy of peers, Xiulian's father died of anger, and it happened that Gu Zhen also did grain and oil business through Qinyuan, and saw that he was pitiful and accepted as a concubine. I also saw Bian Zhong's kindness and brought it back as a housekeeper. If there is no this section, Bian Zhong will definitely return to his hometown to farm, which is also in response to the Water Margin to introduce the origin of Bian Xiang's Hebei Zhuanghu.

If the appearance of Bian Xiang and the Ma family brothers made Gu Haotian suspicious, then the next incident made Gu Haotian believe in the existence of Water Margin Liangshan a little more.

After the winter solstice, Ma Laosan was arranged by Gu Haotian to work in the house, and the Ma family brothers, like Bian Xiang, completely became Gu Haotian's servants or followers. Nearly a month later, on this day, there was a heavy snow in the area of Gujiazhuang, which was the first heavy snow that Gu Haotian encountered after coming to this world, he couldn't help but be a little excited, and saw Bian Xiang's three enthusiastic appearances, so he decided to take them to climb the mountain to see the snow scene.

The four of them went to the foot of the mountain along the village road, and there were three energetic and violent men in front of them, Gu Haotian didn't find it difficult, but the snow was indeed a bit big, and the thick place was more than a foot away.

"Hey, on a snowy day, this blacksmith is also closed, and it is quiet." Bian Xiang suddenly said.

Gu Haotian also noticed at once, this blacksmith shop is set up at the fork in the road leading to the county seat, a middle-aged couple of the Lei family with a teenage son is operating some small agricultural items, the proprietress often argues with the villagers for some small money, Bian Xiang often scolds her for being stingy. When he looked closely, he found that a blacksmith made of bamboo and wood on the side had collapsed under the snow. "Not good," he shouted, and hurried the three of them out into the snow.

When he arrived, Ma Xun climbed up the broken wall and took a look, "Little official, there is a person in it." ”

"Hurry up and save people." Gu Haotian hurriedly ordered, and then the four of them cleared out the passage with their hands and feet, and then found that it was Lei Blacksmith who was grabbed by a pair of thighs by a beam, and his whole body was buried in the rubble and snow and could not move. Several people hurriedly cleaned up the debris, carefully lifted the beam, and rescued the person, fortunately this person was still awake, if he was not crushed to death if he was too late, he would have frozen to death. Several people carried the blacksmith into the house, wrapped the quilt thickly, and told Ma Qiang and Ma Wei to massage his wounds carefully, and let him take it with hot water. Soon the blacksmith Lei slowly recovered, and then said that his wife and children went back to their parents' house a few days ago, and he was not worried about the tools in the shop before dawn, and he didn't want the shop to suddenly collapse and be pressed inside.

Gu Haotian saw that his wife couldn't inform him for a while on a snowy day, and it was not a way to leave Lei Blacksmith alone in the house, but fortunately, his house was close to here, so he persuaded Lei Blacksmith to go to his house to raise him, and then return when his wife returned home. The blacksmith thought that there was no other way, so he agreed, so the four of them broke down a door and carried it home.

On the way, Lei Blacksmith remembered that the little official of the ancient family sacrificed his life to save people, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The kid Lei Heng is a lot longer, but it is worth the little official!" ”

"Lei Heng", Gu Haotian, who was walking in front, chuckled in his heart, it wouldn't be the winged tiger of Liangshanbo.

Suddenly, he felt that the truth of Liang Shanbo was one step closer to him.
