139 The melon field and plum are hard to thank for their kindness, and they return the favor to the plum and sell the leaves
However, it was said that the successive visits of Zhu Tong and Lei Heng made Liang Wenzhen, who falsely claimed to have a personal relationship with Song Jiang, restless, and saw that Pan Jinlian was already radiant and acted as usual, so he bid farewell to Song Taigong early the next morning and went to Yuncheng.
All the way to the peach, plum and bamboo, Qianmo vertical and horizontal, there are good fields and beautiful ponds and mulberry bamboos, and there is no lack of warblers singing and swallow dances, insects should be singing and singing, but it is also a beautiful scenery all the way, and the scenery is unlimited.
Gradually in the middle of the day, the sun is shining. The crowd was sweating profusely, thirsty, and all sighed, and their hearts were impetuous.
"Look, there is a bamboo forest in front, the stream runs through the forest, and there are some stone benches, just where you can rest for a while." Du Yuxing rushed to everyone.
Everyone looked intently, and sure enough, there was a bamboo forest. The stone benches are scattered, the stream is shallow, and the light and shadow are sparse, and it is not a holy place to cool off. Everyone responded: "Someone sent a pillow for sleepiness, a good place to go, wonderful." "It's like a mountain spring in my village." "No, I'm going to have to strip naked." "There's a turtle in it, I'm not afraid to eat what you say......"
"Since everyone is hot and tired, let's rest here and eat something." Liang Wenzhen said, unconsciously raised the whip, and sped up the horse's pace. Because of Liang Wenzhen's sentence, Du Yu felt that Liang Wenzhen was the leader of the team, and he was just a pawn, so he was quite dissatisfied. A group of people tied their horses in the bamboo forest, talked and laughed and played in the water, sat around to rest, and some took out dry food, chewed and swallowed slowly on the mountain spring.
"Brother Liang, look, there's a stone tablet over there." Xu Fan said, Liang Wenzhen looked up, and saw a stone tablet, and the three big characters "Dongxi Village" stood out on it. Liang Wenzhen felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't think of it.
Liang Wenzhen looked around, but saw a big red-leaved tree not far away, and let out an "oh", and finally remembered. It turns out that this Dongxi Village is recorded in "Water Margin". Yuncheng County ordered Lei Heng Zhu Tong to inspect, lest he disobey the yang and yin, steal and play tricks, because the big red leaf tree in Dongxi Village, there is no other place, and he ordered him to pick leaves as a proof of inspection.
Sighing lightly, Liang Wenzhen glanced at it, but Liang Wenzhen saw three poor people in the watermelon field not far away, holding a big watermelon in their hands, but in front of them were people dressed as melon farmers in coarse cloth clothes, and the two sides seemed to be talking about something. Liang Wenzhen couldn't help but feel nervous, these poor people are Xu Jin's subordinates, where is Xu Jin, and he will not be restrained. Under this melon field and plums, it is difficult to argue, and everyone has obtained stolen goods, and it is difficult to guarantee a single case of right and wrong.
While thinking, Liang Wenzhen stepped forward quickly, still some distance away, but he didn't see the smell of gunpowder in the dispute between the two sides, but he laughed heartily in the words of the squirrel. Liang Wen really wondered, but he had already arrived at the edge of the melon field, in front of the messenger and the melon farmer.
"What's going on?" Liang Wenzhen guessed that he was sending someone to buy watermelon, but he looked like he was knowingly asking. One of the poor people, named Li Hu, has always been bold. He touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "I waited until I left Songjia Village, I didn't drink saliva all the way, I was thirsty, and when I saw that the melons here were ripe, I picked a few watermelons to quench my thirst." Who knew that this melon farmer not only didn't blame, but wanted to send some to eat with me, which was really embarrassing. ”
When he said that, the three or five people laughed at the same time, and the melon farmer's face was dark, and he suddenly smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, and said: "On this hot day, the passers-by are tired and thirsty, and eating a few watermelons is nothing." ”
"Oops, this is." Liang Wenzhen sighed and said, "My brother planted a few acres of melons, also to support his family." Under the melon field and plums, it is not easy to walk. Hey, you wait for a few errand boys, who receive a monthly salary, and eat other people's watermelons, you should give back the melon money. One of the poor people, one named Wang Kui, said: "I didn't see the master's house at that time, and I only came out of the master's house after stealing a few watermelons." Besides, if you eat watermelon, what you buy is not as sweet as what you stolen, isn't it, ah, isn't it, hahaha, hahahaha......" Several other people also laughed when they heard this. "That's right, the sweetness stolen by the woman is also the wonder of the stolen."
"What is this theory called?" Liang Wenzhen didn't have a good temperament, and when he spoke, he took out the silver from his sleeve, handed it to the melon farmer, and said, "Thank you, big brother, it's melon money, I'm really embarrassed." ”
Who knew that the melon farmer's chin was downward, his face sank, and he said, "Eh, why be so polite, say please everyone, just please everyone." Come, take a few more, there are many of you, how can these three or two be enough? As he spoke, he leaned over to pick the big watermelon.
Liang Wenzhen sighed, and a burst of warmth flowed through his heart. A few yacha and the melon farmer's eldest brother took nine large watermelons to the bamboo forest. A crowd of people cheered, saying that they couldn't dream of having watermelons to eat. Those watermelons are disemboweled, the melon pulp is bright red, the melon skin is green, and the mouth is full of sweet juice, although it is a little warm, it is already a rare and delicious, and everyone is devouring it, and eating it happily.
Drinking water and thinking about the source, some tutors have good etiquette, and after eating melons, they thank the melon farmer. Brother Melon Farmer watched the group eat happily, and he was not satisfied. Listening to everyone's thanks, he was embarrassed, touched the back of his head and smiled, and said: "You're polite, I still have work to do, so I'll go, if it's not enough after you eat, go to the field to pick it." As he spoke, he turned and walked away.
"Wait, big brother, wait," Liang Wenzhen greeted the melon farmer, thinking that he didn't charge a penny, and he really couldn't repay it. After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that when Lei Heng Zhu Tong was inspecting, he had to pick the big red leaves, because he said: "Big brother is not subject to money, and I am not reluctant, but I have a way to make money, if you want to talk to the eldest brother, you can do what I say, and you can get some money to help the family." ”
Brother Melon Farmer stopped, was curious for a moment after hearing this, looked at Liang Wenzhen, and waited to say more, and the rest of the people were also very curious and pricked up their ears. Liang Wenzhen smiled and said, "Have you seen that big red leaf tree?" It's over there. When he said that, he pointed not far away, and the eldest brother of the melon farmer nodded and said, "It is a tree in my village, the leaves are red and beautiful, and the children in the village love this tree very much." Liang Wenzhen said: "This is very good, you go to the tree to guard, write a sign, one leaf and five words, and someone will buy it from you." ”
"Brother Liang has always been like a god, and this time I'm afraid I'm going to miscalculate." Xu Fan said, "Not to mention that Brother Liang is not familiar with life, how can he conclude that a tree can be sold for money because the leaves are red and beautiful?" Isn't it because he was favored by others, and he couldn't repay it, so he opened his mouth and fooled others? You might as well teach someone to keep watch under the tree, and wait for the rabbit to come and crash into the trunk of the tree and die, and sell the rabbit for money, and it will be more reliable. ”
"Hahahaha, hahahaha......" Everyone laughed, and Zheng Duyu disregarded decency at this time, bending over and screaming in pain with laughter, "I'm laughing to death, ouch, my stomach hurts with laughter." "I have a long experience, it's not ordinary to follow Liang Daguan," Li Hu responded again and again, "I'm so big, haven't I heard that leaves can be sold for money?" "Ouch, when did Liang Daguan start to gossip?" Jiang Zhao had already seen Liang Wenzhen's methods, and he had many strange ideas, and he couldn't help laughing and teasing a few words at this time.
"Could it be that the leaves have any magical medicinal properties, which can be used as life-saving herbs?" Xu Jin thought of the herbs that saved Xu Lin's life, because of the Tao. Then the crowd fell silent.
Liang Wenzhen was calm, and said with a light smile: "I don't know if that red leaf has medicinal value, I just know that it can definitely be sold for money." If you don't believe it, I'll make a sign for this big brother, set up a table and chairs, and we'll see in a while. "At Song Taigong's place, I met Zhu Tong and Lei Heng visiting, and it is known that the two of them, as the heads of the capital, each led the yacha, and they were still carrying out the task of patrolling the bandits sooner or later.
"It's still not necessary," Xu Jin said, "This journey has been delayed a lot, so why waste time on this boring thing." "A group of people, some of them think it's too magical, it's really illusory, and they don't want to do this boring thing; Some believe Liang Wenzhen, but really want to see if the excitement is as he said. Zheng Duyu had the intention of losing Liang Wenzhen's face, but this time he was enthusiastic, and said: "There are paper, pen and ink in the car, and there are wooden boxes and stools, and it is not easy to use them to make an outfit." ”
"Good idea, Brother Cai Yan's handwriting is very good, he will write it." This is the first time Xu Fan has agreed with Zheng Duyu's proposal. Cai Yan is also a good person, and after hearing this, he immediately went to the car to get paper, pen and ink, wrote words, and found a wooden sign to paste. Someone had already moved a wooden box and a stool and put it under the big red leaf tree.
Seeing this scene, the eldest brother of the melon farmer felt funny in his heart, isn't this nonsense, and turned his head to look at Liang Wenzhen. Liang Wenzhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's rest here, you can go over and sell leaves, believe me, if you can't sell this big red leaf, I will pay you ten taels of silver, how about it?" The melon farmer said: "I'm not greedy for your money, it's that this thing is really incredible, if I make a joke, how will the people in the village look at me." "Ahaha, this is a profitable business, if I coax you, I will be punished for selling watermelons to you for ten days."
The eldest brother of the melon farmer saw that Liang Wenzhen swore an oath, not like coaxing, so he went to the tree and sat on the stool. The wooden sign leans on the trunk of the big red leaves, and a line of block calligraphy characters "big red leaves, a piece of five texts", the end of the force through the back of the paper, dignified atmosphere. If you look closely, there is also a line of small characters, which is used in the line of grass, "Yanggu Cai Yanshu". Cai Yan gave up his fame, however, the habit of selling ink treasures and leaving inscriptions has not been lost.
In the bamboo forest, some sat and laughed, some took off their shirts and took a shower in the mountain spring stream, and some ate dry food and cooked food. Several female relatives also went to the stream to freshen up, the mountain spring water was cold and clear, and they also made their mirrors, and touched and played with their enchanting and glamorous and charming appearances.
A pillar of incense kung fu. "Look!" Zhao Min said, "There's a team of yacha over there!" Xu Fan said: "Yes, yes, it seems that it is really coming this way?" The melon farmer's heart tightened, a little nervous, and said, "Could it be that they are the people who will buy this leaf?" If they refuse to give it, but instead beat us up, won't it be a waste of rice to steal chickens? I think we'd better go. ”
"Hahahaha," Xu Fan said with a smile, "I'm afraid of a bird, I have a lot of kung fu masters here, if those waste poor people dare to be domineering, see if we break their legs." When the melon farmer heard this, he was still sitting on pins and needles, looking east and west very uncomfortably.
The big red leaves are the evidence of Zhu Tong Lei Heng and other yacha inspections, whether they can be successfully sold, and listen to the next decomposition.
