After the second-rate fourth brother came back, the atmosphere at home was much better. Anyway, the fourth brother was recruited by the government to serve in Luoyang for more than half a year, and now that he is back, everyone can't help but look forward to the return of the father and the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother who are still outside.

In the past, the fourth child was an unruly and idle person, but now that he knows that Luo Feng has become a fast catcher in the county, his attitude has changed greatly. In the past, he called Luo Wu and Xiao Liu, and if he didn't get it, he would beat his two younger brothers, but he was beaten by Luo Feng that day, and he knew Luo Feng's current situation and identity, but his posture changed quickly.

Now he has entered the identity of Luo Feng's gang very quickly, and he has followed Luo Feng all day long, and even has been much more polite to Xiaoliu.

Although Luo Feng didn't believe that the fourth child would immediately become a good person, after all, this was also his own brother, so he kept him in line with the idea of keeping him by his side and observing.

The day after the fourth child came back, Luo Feng went to the fourth sister's house again.

The fourth sister's house is about twenty miles away from Luo Feng's house, north of Luo Feng's house, and his house is by a river. The river is about ten zhang wide, but the river is not wide but the water is very deep, and the water is usually chest-deep, so many people who cross the river have to take ferries.

The fourth brother-in-law is a ferryman.

The fourth brother-in-law is called Zhou Xin, his brothers have seven people, he is the youngest, when he was only a teenager, his parents have died of old age, and his brothers have grown up to become a family, and his life as a child is actually very hard.

The only thing his parents left him was a broken thatched hut and a broken ferryboat.

Later, although he became an adult, the government did not give him land for the same reason as the Luo family, the land was narrow and wide, and there was no land at all. He barely survived by ferrying people and fishing, and he didn't marry a daughter-in-law even when he was in his twenties.

Not long ago, I found out about the situation of the Luo family, so I asked someone to come to kiss, and it happened that the Luo family was in a difficult situation, and the fourth sister nodded and agreed after seeing Zhou Xin's person with her own eyes.

There is no beautiful wedding, but there is also a lively wedding banquet, Zhou Gui borrowed a donkey to take the fourth sister home, and then began to live.

The days are very hard, the dilapidated thatched house, leaking wind and rain everywhere, no land and no land, and a meager income, fortunately, the fourth sister and wife are still good, although they are poor, but they are very good to their wives.

Luo Feng took the fourth child, the sixth child and the little sister to the broken thatched house and called for the door, and the fourth sister came out.

The fourth sister, who has been married to a wife, has her hair curled, and she has even become plump and plumper.

Seeing the brothers and sister coming, the fourth sister Xingniang was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled them into the house.

The brothers and sisters sat together and talked for most of the day, and when they learned that their sister was living a good life now, Luo Feng was also relieved.

He opened the chain and took out the ten pieces of white money that had been prepared.

"Fourth sister, when you got married, my father and brothers and I were not at home, which made you wronged. This is ten yuan of money, and it is the dowry that our family makes up for you, and you can use it to live a good life with your fourth brother-in-law. ”

Luo Si looked at the ten guan money with some surprise, his eyes lit up, he didn't know in advance that there would be such a thing, ten guan money.

The fourth sister is a panicked excuse.

"I've already been there for the third sister, and I've also made up ten dowries, this one is yours, you hurry up and put it away." Luo Feng insisted.

The fourth child stared at the ten pieces of money, and finally pursed his lips and didn't say anything, Luo Feng saw it, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

In the afternoon, the fourth sister went to the ferry to call her husband Zhou Xin back.

Zhou Xinchang is very thin, but he is very tall, dark-skinned, and speaks loudly, he is a very good chatter, which can be seen to be related to his perennial boat at the ferry, with many people in contact with him, and his mouth is more talkative.

Zhou Xin was very polite and enthusiastic to several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and took out the big carp that had just been netted for the fourth sister to do.

Lunch was very simple, the big carp stewed in a big pot, the fourth sister also temporarily cooked corn, the family gathered around the table, although the dishes were simple, Luo Feng was very happy to eat.

"Brother-in-law, you're having a hard time as a fisherman now, aren't you?" Luo Feng asked.

"Yes, I usually barely make ends meet, but now everyone is having a hard time, and sometimes you have to owe the ship money to make a boat, saying that it will be given next time, but next time you have to next time."

"It's better to go with me to the county government to help, I have inquired about the situation of helping, I do fast catching, my subordinates will have their own helpers, you follow me to do things, and you can always earn a piece of money and food to support your family."

"Okay, I'll listen to the fifth brother." Although Zhou Xin is several years older than Luo Feng, he still respectfully calls Luo Feng the fifth brother, after all, this is his wife's brother.

hasn't gone to the county government to report yet, but Luo Feng has already pulled up a team of his own helpers, the fourth brother Luo Cunxiao, and the younger brother Luo Xiaoliu, as well as the third brother-in-law Scarface Zhao Gui and the fourth brother-in-law Zhou Xin, these are the four helpers, all of whom are their own brothers and relatives, and they are always the most reliable helpers.

········

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, at the foot of Changbai Mountain, at the gate of Zhangqiu County.

A group of people appeared in the sight of the guards at the city gate, led by a large black horse, with a horizontal sword at his waist and a bow on his back. In front of the horse, a young man leading a horse, carrying a burden and a big iron rod.

There were five men behind the horse, one carrying a sledgehammer, one carrying a long-handled fishing fork, and a man with a terrible scar on his face, with a hunting bow on his back and a short knife hanging from his waist.

There were also two young teenagers, one of whom had a wooden stick.

Seeing this pedestrian, the guards at the city gate couldn't help but look nervous.

Not long ago, there were blue-faced eighteen ghosts rampant in Qi County, and a group of people with guys suddenly appeared, which couldn't help but make them nervous.

"What people!"

The guard shouted.

"Phew!"

Immediately, the man jumped down and showed a waist card.

"Zhangqiu catches Luo Wu quickly, come to report!"

The two people guarding the city gate are dressed in soap clothes, they are actually not soldiers but soldiers, like Luo Feng, they belong to the third class of the county ya, but they are not fast classes but strong classes, and the strong class itself is mainly responsible for guarding the city gates, yamen, warehouses, prisons and other key departments.

After checking the waist card and confirming Luo Feng's identity, the man of the strong class immediately smiled on his face, "It turns out that you are the fifth brother Luo, these days there are legends everywhere in the county that you caught the legend of the blue-faced ghost, the brothers happened to be on an errand outside, and they couldn't see you, so they have been looking forward to getting to know their brothers, but I didn't expect that our brothers were on duty guarding the city gate today, but they just happened to meet my brothers entering the city, it was really fate." ”

Luo Feng bowed his hand and said a few words to him.

"Brother Luo, Zhang County Ling has already spoken, if he sees you entering the city, he will let you go to the county office to see him first."

"The county gentleman is looking for me?"

"But no, the county order issued a message a few days ago, and asked the brother guarding the door to wait for your news every day."

Luo Feng nodded, "But something?" ”

The man said, "Brother Luo is staying in the countryside these days, I'm afraid I don't know it, there has been a big incident recently!" ”
