When night fell, Liangshan lit piles of bonfires.

There were no tables or chairs, so everyone sat on the floor.

A jar of wine is opened, and the steamed, boiled, and roasted beef, sheep, chicken, and duck meat is placed on the lotus leaves in the ground.

Looking at the wine and meat all over the ground, some of the craftsmen who were left here by Chen Daqiang wanted to fall into the grass and follow these heroes to live this big bowl of wine and eat meat in large pieces.

After Zhu Wu lured many craftsmen by the water, he earned some of them and went up the mountain to build houses.

When these craftsmen went up the mountain and found that Chen Da and others were carrying knives and guns, and they were constantly transporting grain and grass to the mountain, they felt that something was wrong, but at that time they could not advance or retreat.

Zhu Wu was afraid that they would sue the officials or never return, so after luring them up the mountain, he half-threatened and half-lured them to live on the mountain to catch up with work.

Chen Da saw a minion put a black mud ball on the ground, frowned, and said, "What is this?" Is it also for us to eat? ”

Yang Chun knocked open the roasted black mud ball with a fist and peeled off the mud shell outside.

The brightly colored chicken roasted inside was revealed, and a fresh fragrance spread.

Yang Chun said with a smile: "This is my brother's call for flower chicken, and I have also eaten a lot of chickens made in hotels, and there is no one that can compare to this called flower chicken." You taste it. ”

"Since my brother made it, it must be delicious."

Chen Da said, reached out and pulled a chicken leg, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

After chewing a few times, he glared and exclaimed, "It's really delicious." ”

Zhu Wu heard Chen Da say this, and he couldn't help but move his index finger, took a large piece of meat with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.

After chewing twice, his brow moved.

However, he was not as rude as Chen Da, swallowed the chicken in his mouth, and then praised: "Brother, this chicken is a must, but the name of this flower chicken is a little bad." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "Actually, I also called it casually, but I just think this method is the most suitable for calling flowers, no pot stove, no seasoning, take out the internal organs, wrap it in lotus leaves, and then wrap it in mud and bury it in the ground and roast it." ”

Shi Jin didn't know what spices to put in the chicken belly, so he simply didn't put anything, but after roasting, he found that the fragrance of chicken and lotus leaves alone was enough, so he didn't have the idea of putting spices.

Chen Da had already tore the chicken leg into his stomach in two bites, grabbed a large piece of meat, and said with a smile: "This chicken should be called chicken stealing, brother's method is most suitable for chicken thieves." No matter where you go, you can just steal a chicken. ”

Belch?

The chicken called Hanako must have been stolen too!

It shouldn't be easy to get a chicken.

Shi Jin smiled: "What my brother said is also reasonable, otherwise it will be called stealing**?" ”

Chen Da just said it casually, seeing that Shi Jin seemed to be serious, he quickly shook his head and said, "It's not good, it's not good." When it was spread out, others thought that we were stealing chickens and dogs, which ruined our reputation as a hero in Shaohua Mountain. ”

Shi Jin put down the wine bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "Now it's time for us to talk about Liangshan heroes." ”

Chen Da chewed the chicken and nodded, "Where my brother says, it is where it is." ”

Shi Jin poured a bowl of wine, stood up and drank, "Brothers, eat slowly." ”

When everyone in the cottage saw Shi Jin standing up and wanted to speak, they stopped talking and looked over.

Shi Jin hugged his fists around and said, "Shi Jin first thanked all the brothers for their trust, and traveled thousands of miles to come here with me." From now on, no matter where everyone comes from, we will all be Liangshan heroes who walk for the sky in the future. What is a hero of Liangshan? Punishing evil and promoting good, living and dying together is a good man in Liangshan, of course, there are big bowls of wine, large pieces of meat, and large scales of gold and silver. Shi Jin assured that in the future, such a drunken and meaty feast will be held at least once a month. ”

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up a bowl of wine from the ground, and drank, "Come, everyone, make a bowl." ”

All the minions came all the way, whether it was sharing gold and silver, eating and drinking, they all appreciated Shi Jin's generosity.

In just over 20 days, Shi Jin's prestige among the crowd surpassed that of Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun.

Shi Jin shouted, and the minions around him stood up with wine bowls one after another.

"."

"Dry"

The bold cry spread throughout the night sky, startling the birds in the mountains and forests.

When everyone in Liangshan was feasting, more than a dozen men also gathered in a high port in Shijie Village.

It is the three heroes of the Ruan family who are the head, Ruan Xiaoer who stands Tai Sui, Ruan Xiaowu, the short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi, who live Yan, all of them have the courage to cover the sky and have outstanding martial arts.

The three of them are brothers, and the old lady gave birth to seven children, except for three of him, the rest died.

However, just growing up into these three brothers made them a tyrant in Shijie Village, ostensibly fishing for a living, but in fact, they did private business when they entered the water, and they loved to kill people and set fires.

If the seven brothers all grow up, they will not disturb this Liangshan Shuibo.

Two years ago, Ren Liang was in Xingjiao, Shandong, and strictly investigated the thieves in Shuibo, and the three of them saw that the momentum was not right, so they no longer engaged in private business.

This year, Ren Liang was promoted, and the state governments in various places no longer made desperate efforts to hunt down thieves, and the three of them were ready to return to their old business and do some private business.

A few days ago, Zhu Wu and Chen Da continued to transport grain, grass and materials to Liangshan, but they also fell into the eyes of the three heroes of the Ruan family.

At that time, Ruan Xiaoqi wanted to take a few people to overturn a few people in the reeds and grab a few boats of property. But Ruan Xiaoer felt that Chen Da and his group were strange, so he didn't let everyone start.

It's just that a few close brothers are observed in the reeds, they are all people who grew up in Liangshan Shuibo, and it is really simple to monitor Chen Da and his party in the reeds.

After monitoring for a few days, after seeing Chen Da and his group constantly transporting grain and grass to Liangshan, Ruan Xiaoer's doubts deepened, how dare he let the brothers do it.

The younger brother hid in the reeds and watched for a long time, and the group was afraid that there would be no three or four hundred people, and they were all clinging to knives and guns. There are one hundred and fifty or sixty horses alone, and it seems that they really came to Liangshan to occupy the mountain as the king. ”

Living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi said: "It's really damn unlucky, I just thought it was a fat sheep, but I didn't expect it to be a hedgehog with a piercing hand, and I couldn't touch it." ”

Standing Tai Sui Ruan Xiaoer shook his head and said: "If you don't want to forgive, just after you left, this group of thieves and men and women came." It seems that God doesn't want us to do this private business, and from now on, we will only make a living by fishing. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "They are their strongmen, and our brothers are our private businessmen, can they still manage us?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer sighed and said, "There are so many of them, how can we be allowed to grab food." ”

Ruan Xiaowu, the short-lived Erlang who had been playing with a few dice in his hand, shook his head and said: "Private businessmen can't do it, and fish can't be beaten even if they're afraid." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi glared and shouted, "How many people can they still have food and clothing on the edge of this water?" ”

Ruan Xiaowu said: "They are in Liangshan, how can they let people see him at will, and they must not prohibit everyone from approaching Liangshan." ”

A man who fished said: "Shijie Lake is narrow, and there are only a few small fish left, if we are not allowed to go to Liangshan Shuibo, how can we be happy when we fish." ”

Another man said: "It was those strongmen who asked me to wait to go to Liangshan Shuibo to fish, and I am afraid that there will not be much left after paying taxes." The yamen has already posted a notice that starting next month, fishing at anchorage, harvesting lotus roots, and cutting cattails will be taxed according to the size of the boat. We just hit the big fish, and we also beat it for the imperial court. ”

Ruan Xiaowu threw the dice in his hand to the ground, watched the dice spin on the ground, and said, "This dog court won't let us have a good time, so we just let it go." Our brothers also have a skill, why not go to Liangshan to join the gang, and also lived the days of weighing gold and silver, wearing silk brocade in strange ways, eating wine in urns, and eating meat in large pieces. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "What the fifth brother said is that if you can be used for a day, you will open your eyebrows even if you die." ”

A few fishermen looked at Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi when they said this, and they couldn't help but look at Ruan Xiaoer.

They are all people who are used to killing people and setting fires, as long as they have money, wine and meat to eat, and there is nothing to be afraid of going up the mountains and falling into the grass.

Ruan Xiaoer shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's see how they act." If it is a generous and righteous man, it is not too late for us to join in. If it is the stingy man who does not know much, we might as well be happy to fish here. ”

Ruan Xiaowu saw that the three dice on the ground were only seven o'clock, shook his head and said, "What my brother said is the same, then let's take a look." A few days have been wasted, who will go to the town with me tomorrow to gamble? ”

Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I'll go with my brother." ”

Ruan Xiaoer saw that the two had already discussed gambling money, got up and said, "Let's disperse today, and we'll talk about it in a few days." Mother, I'm going back, and I'll come to see you another day. ”

Ruan Xiaoer shouted to the grass hut in the middle, then walked to the water's edge, untied a small boat, and rowed out of the water.

The other men saw Ruan Xiaoer leave, and they also dispersed.

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi sat for a while, and then went into the house to sleep.

Before you knew it, the moon had risen in mid-sky.

The night Shi Jin went to Shaohua Mountain was August 15, stayed in Shaohua Mountain for two nights, and walked for more than 20 days along the way.

Many minions had already slept soundly in their tents, and the earth-shattering snoring came and went.

"Brother, eat another bowl."

Chen Da had already drunk a big tongue, and he ate another bowl with Shi Jin, and his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground.

"Whew"

Shi Jin stretched out his hand to help him, and found that Chen Da was already snoring, and couldn't help laughing: "Everyone has come from afar, and they must all be tired, so let's eat here tonight." ”

When everyone saw Shi Jin say this, they all dispersed.

Zhu Wu beckoned two minions to send Chen Da into the tent, and then took a few minions to patrol the cottage and extinguished the fire near the tent, grain and grass.

When he turned to Shi Jin's tent, he saw Shi Jin lift the curtain and walk out.

Zhu Wu asked, "Brother, why don't you sleep?" ”

Shi Jin smiled: "Didn't you sleep too?" ”

Although he let everyone eat and drink to their heart's content, he was also afraid that if the officers and soldiers suddenly attacked, they would be caught off guard, so he did not drink too much.

He had just entered the tent, but he wanted the others to sleep in peace, so that everyone would not accompany him to keep vigil.

Zhu Wu smiled knowingly and said, "Elder brother just go to sleep, the younger brother earlier ordered these brothers to eat less wine and patrol together at night." ”

Shi Jin saw that the few minions behind Zhu Wu were not drunk, and said with a smile: "A few brothers have worked hard, I will patrol with you and then sleep." ”

A few people walked around the camp and turned to Shi Jin's tent, and Zhu Wu invited Shi to go in to rest.

Shi Jin didn't refuse, hugged his fists with everyone, entered the tent, came up sleepy, and fell asleep.
