On this day, Shi Jin got up, practiced for a while, and said to Shi Zhu, who was waiting on the side: "Go to the treasury to exchange for six Shu brocades, six fine silk cloths, two golden hairpins, two pairs of gold bracelets, and two hundred taels of silver." Divide them into two gifts, and one will go down the mountain with me. ”

These days, Shi Jin treats people gently, and Shi Zhu, the little monkey, is also a lot naughty, and when he heard this, he asked, "Where is my brother going to eat flower wine?" ”

Shi Jin glared at Shi Zhu and said, "Find an old lady for you to go up the mountain, if you don't pay good filial piety in the future, be careful that I break your legs." ”

He has eaten flower wine twice in Huayin County, others don't know, but Shi Zhu's personal servant knows it.

Shi Zhu said with a hippie smile: "Then I will thank my brother for Daddy first." ”

Shi Jin looked at Shi Zhu's scoundrel, shook his head and said, "Ma Li is going to do something, go slowly, be careful to eat me." ”

Shi Zhu smiled: "Don't, I'll ask Daddy for money." Brother, don't be impatient, you won't be able to eat flower wine. ”

After saying that, he ran away.

When the brigade came from Shaohua Mountain, although they did not rob the passing merchants, they naturally did not let go of the brocades, cloths and other things confiscated by some tax card officials along the way.

Every time the gold and silver were divided, these things were folded into money and distributed to everyone, but the things went into the treasury of the cottage.

When people need it, they can go to the treasury and buy it at a price.

Shi Jin naturally won't break the rules he set.

As soon as Shi Zhu left, there was a humane on the side: "Where is my brother going to eat flower wine, can I also bring my younger brother?" ”

Shi Jin turned his head and saw that it was Yang Chun, and said with a smile: "It's freezing this day, where to eat flower wine." Now that the cottage houses are in order, I want to go to Shijie Village to see if I can ask the three heroes of the Nguyen family to go up the mountain to be the leader and take charge of the navy. If you don't feel cold, let's go along. ”

A few days ago, everyone in the cottage lived in tents.

Although Shi Jin had the heart to invite the three heroes of the Ruan family to join the gang, he was also embarrassed to invite people to live in tents, so he has been stumbling so far.

White Flower Snake Yang Chun smiled: "Okay, the people in this water pool say that this Ruan family is powerful, and I also thought that I would meet this Ruan brother." ”

While the two were talking, Chen Da also came from the side and shouted, "When you want to go down the mountain, count me in." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "I'm going to invite the three heroes of the Ruan family to join the gang, and it's not a fight, when many people go, I'm afraid they will misunderstand." Moreover, you and the Zhu Wu brothers have mostly appeared outside Shuibo, if the Ruan brothers are unwilling to join the gang, and our identities are seen through, I am afraid that they will have a lawsuit. If you want to go down the mountain, you can go to the Lijia Daokou Hotel. ”

Chen Da heard Shi Jin say this, so he could only nod and say: "Okay, then I'll go to Brother Zhang Qing's place, it's not interesting to stay in this mountain for a long time." Brother, now that the cottage is almost repaired, when will we go to fight the big people in the neighborhood and do the right thing for the sky? ”

Shi Jin smiled: "Soon, I have already asked Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang to investigate the nearby harmful people." ”

"That's fine, then I'll go down the mountain first. I went to the Military Administration Department to ask for a token. ”

"Okay, brother, go slowly."

In these two months, the cottage practiced for 25 days and took a 5-day vacation.

When on vacation, the cottage people are not allowed to go down the mountain without an order.

In order to make everyone have some pastime, Shi Jin also asked the craftsman to build five hotels and two gambling houses in Dongshan.

The Song people are good at gambling, from the emperor and the general, down to the ordinary people, and even strange women like Li Qingzhao are also happy.

The Spring Festival, cold food, and winter solstice are the seasons when the whole people are closed, from ordinary items to chariots and horses, fields, houses, singers, and dancing girls.

The world is like this, and Shi Jin can't be unkind, but gambling is not allowed in Dazhai, and Dongshan is not open to gambling during non-recuperation time.

The gambling house opened by the cottage only provides gambling equipment and venues, and everyone in the cottage is allowed to have fun, and the cottage is not in it.

The cottage minions just came on the way to each person to share fifty or sixty yuan, and there is no place to spend on weekdays, so every holiday, they will go to Dongshan to have fun, even if they don't like to gamble, they will go to the hotel to satisfy their hunger.

The hotel is also not profitable, but only provides wine and meat at a reasonable price.

At first, the hotel was the same as the gambling house, and there were two openings.

Because there are many copycats, the hotel has added three more.

Later, the craftsmen and fishermen, both old and young, also built houses in Dongshan, and Dongshan has formed a village of seventy or eighty families.

The fire family of the hotel is the old and young in the village, and the cottage pays them some wages and also allows them to supplement their families.

During this period of time, the cottage did not send troops, and the people who joined the gang later did not receive gold and silver.

Shi Jin went back to the house and changed into a cyan brocade robe, and went to the Military and Political Department with Yang Chun to ask for four tokens, registered the place, and asked Shi Zhu to change his clothes, and found a burden to pick up a gift.

These days, Shi Jin also asked people to buy a lot of robes in the ready-to-wear stores in nearby prefectures and counties, and each person in the cottage got two winter clothes and two summer clothes, all of which were black, which was regarded as a unified armor.

The three of them called a fisherman from Shijie Village in the navy to come down the mountain.

The four of them got out of the water pool on the ice and came along the river bank to Shijie Village.

After the winter, the berth surface is also much smaller.

After walking two or three miles along the coast, the fisherman who led the way pointed to an estuary in front of him and said: "Shijie Lake is connected to Liangshan Shuibo through this estuary, and then two miles is Shijie Village." ”

Shi Jin had also inquired about the situation in Shijie Village before, and knew that Shijie Lake was only a few miles away from Liangshan, so it was no wonder that after Wang Lun fell into the grass, the three males of the Ruan family could not enter Liangshan to fish in the water.

Wang Lun gathered hundreds of people and definitely couldn't block hundreds of miles of water, but the mouth of Shijie Lake was next to Liangshan, and Wang Lun blocked a few miles of Bo at the foot of Liangshan, which just stuck the way for everyone in Shijie Village to enter the park.

When Jeju regimental training made Huang An attack Yangsan, he also allocated ships at Shijie Lake, which shows that this Shijie Lake is not far from Yangsan.

Seeing the entrance of the village, Shi Jin said to the fisherman who led the way: "You go back, when we get to the village, we will ask Ruan Xiaoer's residence, don't leak the news." ”

"Yes."

The fisherman who led the way saw that the owner of the village said this, arched his hand, and turned back to the cottage.

The three of them entered the village, inquired a little, and found Ruan Xiaoer's house.

Ruan Xiaoer's house is by the lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are more than a dozen thatched houses.

The lake had long since frozen, and several fishing boats were dragged into the courtyard, where they were detained and basked in the sun.

Presumably, fishermen also want to spend the winter as leisurely as fishing boats, but this year, the imperial court has increased the rent, and most people can only moor and cut reeds after freezing on the lake in order to pay rent.

A five or six-year-old little monkey was playing in the courtyard, and when he saw Shi Jin, Yang Chun, and Shi Zhu coming towards their house, they stood in the courtyard with their little heads tilted and looked like they didn't dodge.

Shi Jin asked with a smile, "Is this Second Brother Ruan's house?" ”

"Yes."

The child nodded in response, and then shouted into the house, "Daddy, someone is looking for you." ”

As soon as the words fell, a man came out of the grass house in the middle, in his thirties, lean, high cheekbones, deep sunken cheeks, and a coarse cloth jacket.

Ruan Xiaoer saw Shi Jin and Yang Chun in brocade robes, and his eyes tightened, he walked to the gate of the courtyard, opened the fence door, and arched his hand: "Dare to ask the names of the three high surnames?" ”

Shi Jin arched his hand and said: "Junior brother Shi Jin, this brother is Yang Chun, and the younger brother behind him is Shi Zhu." When I first came to your place, I heard the name of the three heroes of the Ruan family, and I came to pay a visit. ”

These days, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang's hotel has released rumors.

Liangshan is mainly based on the nine-pattern dragon Shi Jin, and there are Zhu Wu, the god machine military division, Chen Da, the jumping tiger, Yang Chun, the white flower snake, Zhang Qing, and the dominatrix Sun Erniang.

Although Ruan Xiaoer had never seen Shi Jin and Yang Chun, he could also hear the names of the two, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that he is a good man in Liangshan, and please speak inside." ”

The three of them followed Ruan Xiaoer into the middle main house, and a simple village woman came out of the inner room.

But it was Ruan Xiaoerhun's family who heard that there were guests, walked out, and said a blessing to the three of them.

Shi Jin arched his hand and said: "Shi Jin has seen his sister-in-law, and when he came to the door for the first time, he prepared some small gifts for his sister-in-law and his wife. ”

Ruan Xiaoerhun's family couldn't take their eyes off when they saw the good Shu brocade and silk cloth in the burden, but she didn't dare to make decisions and looked at her husband.

Ruan Xiaoer saw that there was still a small package on the Shu brocade and silk cloth, which seemed to be wrapped in silver ingots, and hurriedly said: "When we meet for the first time, there is no reason to let a hero break the money like this." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "It's just a small courtesy, if the second brother doesn't think I'm waiting for the roots, please accept it." If it is inconvenient, I will leave this and never embarrass the second brother. ”

Ruan Xiaoer heard Shi Jin say this, and hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from my brother, my brother and I have also done that private business in Shuibo before, my brother can afford to wait for me, how can my brother not be devoted to friendship." ”

Shi Jin took Ruan Xiaoer's arm and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll sit down and talk." ”

Ruan Xiaoer smiled: "It's rude, brother, please." ”

A few people sat on the wooden chairs, and Shi Jin asked, "Are the fifth brother and seventh brother here?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer said: "They live in the lake with the old lady, and my brother waits." ”

said, and said to the Hun family on the side: "Sister-in-law, you go to Boli for a walk, send the old lady's gift over, and call Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi to come over and talk, and then clean up a table of wine and meat." ”

"Okay, sit down."

Ruan Xiaoerhun's family is also from a poor family, and he walked out with a basket of gifts in one hand.

The little monkey who followed the crowd heard that he was going to get wine and meat, and immediately followed his mother and ran out again.

Shi Jin smiled: "It's bothering." ”

Ruan Xiaoer said: "The home is simple, there is not much hospitality, and my brother is not strange." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "I came here today just to get to know the three brothers, and nothing else matters." ”

Ruan Xiaoer said: "I deeply feel my brother's kindness, my brothers and I have also heard the reputation of all the heroes, and I have heard from friends in the rivers and lakes, several brothers seemed to be the king of Shaohua Mountain before, why did they come here again?" ”

Yang Chun said with a smile: "It was me, Zhu Wu and Chen Da, two elder brothers, who fell into the grass in Shaohua Mountain before, and Brother Shi Jin was from a big family. Speaking of which, we don't know each other. That day, because of the shortage of money and food in the cottage, Chen Da's brother took people to Huayin County to borrow grain, and when he passed by Shijia Village, he had a conflict with Shi Jin's brother.

Brother Shi Jin's martial arts are strong, and after a few fights, he took Brother Chen Da. Brother Zhu Wu and I heard the news and knew that we couldn't defeat Brother Shi Jin, so we could only go down the mountain and beg Brother Shi Jin to let Brother Chen Da go.

Brother Shi Jin released Brother Chen Da out of righteousness, so we had a friendship.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, my brother invited the three of us to eat and drink in the village, but I didn't want to leak the news, so I was surrounded by officers and soldiers in the village and wanted to take the three of us.

My brother was angry, and without saying a word, he took us and killed him. After that, my brother didn't want to do the business of robbing the house, so he brought us to Liangshan, preparing to do the right thing for heaven and kill corrupt officials and bullies. ”

Ruan Xiaoer heard what Yang Chun said, and said to Shi Jin: "My brother is so righteous, and my brother who can understand is really a blessing for my brother." ”
