Chapter 296
It started to rain lightly, as dense as needles. There was a mist on the Ru River, making it difficult to see clearly from the other side.
Li Tong rowed the fishing boat and slowly approached the village port. When he arrived at the shore, he jumped on the shore and tied the boat to the big willow tree. He took the fishing basket and packed the few fish he caught today, and muttered: "Like this
How does the ghost emperor do things?"
As he said that, he turned around and saw a man coming out from the side. He cupped his hands and said, "My benefactor is finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Tong was startled. He looked closely and realized it was Luan Qingshan. He hurriedly said: "Now that we are in the village, why don't we do it at home?"
Luan Qingshan said: "My sister-in-law took the children to work in the fields, but there was no one there. I saw that the boat was not there, and I knew that my brother was out fishing, so I waited here. The weather is bad today, and the rain is very annoying."
Li Tongdao: "What I'm saying is that if it's heavy rain, you should go home early. If it's light rain, it won't be a problem for you. The rain is neither heavy nor light, and it really makes me angry! I was on the river just now, and I couldn't see anyone on the other side.
I’m just afraid of colliding with other people’s boats!”
While talking, Li Tong packed up his fishing gear and returned home with Luan Qingshan.
His wife had not come back yet. Luan Qingshan was arranged to sit on the porch, and Li Tong served tea.
After drinking tea, Li Tong asked: "I heard someone said that officers and soldiers raided Beiwu Town, and Feng Kuan there was killed. My brother is under Feng Kuan, and he is worried that you will be implicated. I am relieved to see him today.
Already."
Luan Qingshan said: "I didn't do anything evil, so I naturally survived. I was seriously injured last time. Thanks to my brother for saving me, otherwise my life would have ended at that time. Feng Zhuan was killed, and I can't stay around anymore.
I want to go north, so I came here to say goodbye to my brother."
Li Tongdao: "Go north? Aren't there all golden captives in the north? I heard people say that the people are living the best life under King Xiangyang's observation now. Why don't you go south, brother? You are a person who has seen the world, and you can be found everywhere.
One bite to eat.”
Luan Qingshan looked at the thin rain outside and was silent for a while. Then he said: "I have been in the army since I was a child and have been used to traveling around. I can't live a stable life. Wang observed that the rules in the army were too peaceful and it didn't suit my temper, so I had to go north.
I heard that after the city of Kaifeng was destroyed, Ding Yijian led his men to the Songshan area, and things are now very prosperous. I want to join him, it would be better than being a bandit in Beiwu Town."
Li Tongdao: "This Ding Yijian, when Zong Liu was stationed in Kaifeng, I heard that he had many soldiers and horses under his command, and he had a great reputation. If my brother were under his command, he might be reused."
Luan Qingshan nodded and said nothing.
Ding Jin has been famous for many years, and Wang Xiaolie, who is now extremely famous, was also under his command back then. Although he was not good at fighting, he was fortunate to insist on refusing to surrender money, and he was considered a big force in North Beijing Road. Now Zhai Xing is on North West Road
Huddled in Yiyang, Wang Xiaolie occupied Ruzhou, and Ding Jin in Songshan had a small number of troops but a great momentum.
The rain continued, and the two sat under the curtain, chatting. I don't know how long it took before Li Tong's wife came back with her child. Seeing Luan Qingshan there, she hurriedly stepped forward to apologize.
Luan Qingshan said: "Why is sister-in-law going to the fields on a rainy day like this?"
The woman said: "It happened to be raining, so I went to the ground to plant some spinach. No matter whether it grows well or not, there will always be vegetables to eat in winter."
Luan Qingshan nodded: "This is the good thing about rural areas. As long as you work hard, you won't lose money."
Looking at the sky, the woman said: "With the weather like this, I don't know what time it is now. It's raining. It's okay. I'll cook some dishes and you can have a drink together. The wine at home is very turbid, brother, don't dislike it."
Luan Qingshan said: "I bought a few kilograms of meat when I came here and put it in the bag over there. Sister-in-law, you don't have to do anything. I just didn't buy wine, so I had to drink what you have at home. I looked at the nearby grass market and the wine sold there is also good."
not good."
Li Tong looked at the meat and said to his wife: "I have a few fish in the basket. You choose a big one and cook it. Then kill a chicken and cook it for us to drink. It's rare for Brother Luan to come back. I'll invite you later."
Cao Erlang and Yan Dalang are here to drink and talk together."
The woman agreed and turned back to the house.
Looking at the woman's leaving figure, Luan Qingshan took a bunch of Huizi from his arms and put it in Li Tong's hand. He said: "There is some money here, brother, keep it. Life in the country is poor, but with this money, life will be relaxed."
some."
At this time, Wang Xiao's seal-hunting huizi had been widely used, and Li Tong recognized it. Looking at the huizi in his hand, there were dozens of them, and he couldn't help being surprised. He said: "Such a lot of money! Brother, you have to stay away."
Okay, I don’t have enough money—”
Luan Qingshan said: "Who am I? To tell you the truth, I am a robber under Feng Hui! Although I don't steal people's money, there is always money with unknown origins. Don't worry, I will not be short of money.
Brother, just accept it and don’t say more!”
How could Li Tong agree? It was just a dodge. Luan Qingshan patted Li Tong on the shoulder and said: "After this big change, I have seen through many things. To be honest, after joining the army, these days I robbed cotton merchants and annexed Dong Dong.
Ping, I made some money. I am alone, and this money is enough for me to spend a lifetime. A few dozen dollars is really not much to me, but to my brother, it has many uses. If nothing else,
When your children are older, marrying them will require a lot of expenses. If it weren't for my brother, my life would have been lost long ago."
Seeing that Li Tong still refused, Luan Qingshan smiled and said: "It's just a few dozen dollars, brother has so many things to do! Needless to say, go and invite brothers Cao and Yan to come, let's have two glasses of wine. I'll stay here for one night, and I'll be far away tomorrow."
OK."
Seeing that Luan Qingshan insisted on giving it, Li Tong had no choice but to keep it. Now it is much more convenient to use Huizi. Dozens of guan of money can not be seen in the clothes after receiving it. After calling the two children, Li Tong asked them to invite Cao Erlang and Cao Erlang.
Yan Dalang came over and had two glasses of wine together. There were only three families in the village, and they stayed together no matter what.
Not long after, Cao Erlang, wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat, pushed the door in. When he saw Luan Qingshan, he said happily: "Brother went there that day, and we discussed it together, fearing that you would not recover well. I saw you today, and you are in high spirits.
Looks like it’s too big!”
Inviting Cao Erlang to sit down, Luan Qingshan said: "God has mercy on me. It's just that one leg is a little inconvenient, but it's not a serious problem."
"Okay, okay, that's good." Cao Erlang nodded repeatedly. "We heard something happened in Beiwu Town two days ago, and we were worried about our brother. Seeing that you are safe, everyone is relieved. By the way, Beiwu Town
The town is now under the jurisdiction of the government, I wonder what my brothers will do next?"
Luan Qingshan said: "I heard that Ding Jin in Songshan is a good man. I want to go and join him."
After hearing this, Cao Erlang shook his head: "Brother, although you are a tough guy with a lot of skills, why put yourself in danger if it's not necessary? I heard someone said that the government of Queshan County in the south is recruiting people to cultivate land. Why don't you go there?
Woolen cloth?"
