Chao Yong had already calculated the date. Lin Chong had gone to Liangshan last winter and had a fierce battle with the green-faced beast Yang Zhi. It seems that Yang Zhi has also arrived at Daming Mansion in Beijing. The birthday plan that Liang Taishu, who stayed at Daming Mansion, gave to his father-in-law Cai Jing last year,
However, they were robbed when they walked to Kaedok Prefecture. This year, there was a peasant uprising in Kaedok Prefecture. In Hedong, there were big bandit tigers plundering everywhere. The birthday plan had to detour to Jingdong East Road, passing through Jeju, Chao Gai, and Ruanshi.
The three heroes now have no source of income, and they will definitely rob the birth plan when they come.
Chao Yong saw Ruan Xiaoqi's listless look and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, please be patient. I predict that within three months, there will be a turn for the better. From then on, you and I will no longer have to suffer the oppression of those who do evil."
Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly became more energetic, stared at Chao Yong and said, "What do you mean by Brother Yong's words?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "The secret must not be leaked. You will know it in three months. It's just that the three brothers have to be patient and patient now."
Ruan Xiaoer heard the words, thought for a while, and then said with enlightenment: "If King Chao Tian wants to take my brother, he just needs someone to send a message. If the three of us are willing to risk our lives to help each other, I will swear to teach us with the remaining wine."
They all suffered misfortunes, suffered from bad diseases, and died unexpectedly."
"Okay, then the three brothers will be needed to help. Seventh brother, how about we compete with each other in fists and kicks?"
When Chao Yong saw that the three of them had agreed with each other and that the matter in his mind was settled, he also wanted to try the skills of the three heroes.
"Well, King Chao Tianwang fought all over Jingdong with his iron fist, and it was difficult to find an opponent. The tiger father has no dog son, and Xiao Qi is also thinking of trying Brother Yong's methods."
Ruan Xiaoer also wanted to see Chao Yong's martial arts skills, so he and Ruan Xiaowu moved the table aside to make room.
The two walked into the pavilion and bowed their hands. They turned around twice, and Xiao Qi couldn't bear his temper and started to attack. Chao Yong only relied on his moves to get around, but after a short time, Chao Yong was defeated by Ruan Xiaoqi.
A kick hit him in the chest. Fortunately, Chao Yong had a solid kick and took two steps back to stand upright without falling into the water.
When Chao Yong saw this, he also knew that it would be embarrassing if he continued to fight like this. When Ruan Xiaoqi grabbed Chao Yong's shoulder and was about to throw him, Chao Yong twisted his body and grabbed Xiaoqi's wrist.
Xiao Qi grabbed it with all his strength, but was no match for Chao Yong's magical power. He quickly flew up and kicked Chao Yong. As soon as he reached mid-air, he felt severe pain in his wrist and seven points of his strength had been exhausted.
Chao Yong tightened his hands and let go of Xiao Qi, dodging the kick.
Ruan Xiaoqi looked at the two red marks on his wrist, shook his head and said, "No fight, no fight. Brother Yong is amazingly powerful. It would be too much of a loss to compete with you."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Brother, don't blame me. My younger brother didn't learn boxing and sticks when he was young. He only learned a few boxing techniques recently, but his fists and feet are no match for him, so he had to use all his strength."
"Haha, I have long heard that King Chao Tian is amazingly powerful. I didn't expect Brother Yong to be so strong. If the fight continues, Xiao Qi will definitely not be his opponent." Ruan Xiaoer said with a smile.
Ruan Xiaoqi was dissatisfied and said: "It's not like my brother doesn't know my martial arts skills. I don't dare to boast about it on the road, but in the water, Xiaoqi dares to be second, and no one dares to be first."
Chao Yong also held up his hands and said: "I have long heard that my brother catches fish in the water with his bare hands, but Chao Yong would never dare to compete with the seventh brother in the water."
Ruan Xiaoqi saw that Chao Yong did not dare to compete with him in the water, and was afraid that he would not believe him. He thought for a while and said: "Brother Yong, wait a moment, Xiaoqi went into the water to catch a fish to drink with."
After saying that, he took off his vest, jumped into the water, and disappeared instantly.
Chao Yong walked to the pavilion and looked at where Ruan Xiaoqi entered the water, but there were only circles of ripples left, as if what he had just entered was just a fish, calm and calm.
"Xiao Qi has such a temper. Brother Yong, let's have a bowl of wine. After a while, Xiao Qi will definitely be able to catch a fish."
Ruan Xiaoer moved the table to the middle again. Chao Yong had just sat down and before his breathing stabilized, he heard a "crash" and Ruan Xiaoqi jumped up from the lake in the distance, holding a foot-long golden carp in his hand.
Ruan Xiaoqi stepped on the water waves with his legs, as if walking on flat ground. The water could not reach his belly, which was submerged under his navel. Soon he was in front of him and jumped onto the water pavilion.
"Okay, during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu warmed wine and killed Hua Xiong, and the heroes on land respected him. Today, Seventh Brother caught the golden carp in an instant, and the heroes in the water should regard Seventh Brother as their hero. Chao Yong's eyes were opened today, and Seventh Brother drank to his heart's content
This bowl."
Chao Yong had never seen such water before. He picked up his wine bowl and offered it to Ruan Xiaoqi.
Ruan Xiaoqi took the bowl and drank it proudly, then called the waiter to come over and get the fish to cook.
A few people had another round of drinks, and it was getting late.
Ruan Xiaoer said: "It's getting late tonight. Brother Yong will go to my house for the night. Tomorrow we will compete with each other and swim in the water together."
Ruan Xiaoqi saw Chao Yong's handsome character, free speech, and forthright temperament, and felt that they were like each other. Hearing the words, he smiled and said: "The second brother has a sister-in-law at home, and the fifth brother has an old lady. Brother Yong is not comfortable even if he goes there. In my opinion
, it’s best to be with me.”
Ruan Xiaoer shook his head and said: "Your place is just a shack on the water. How can you let Brother Yong live there? It's better to come back to my place."
Chao Yong also felt that Ruan Xiaoqi was right and said with a smile: "I haven't lived on the water yet. I will go to the second brother's place another day. I will live with the seventh brother tonight."
After saying that, he said to Chao San: "Chao San, go and prepare some more wine and meat, and bring them back to the second brother and the fifth brother. This will prevent the second sister-in-law and my mother from getting angry again. Xiaoqi and I will eat again in the evening."
Ruan Xiaoer hurriedly stopped Chao San and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it. How can I let you waste money again and again?"
Chao Yong grabbed Ruan Xiaoer, winked at Chao San, and said with a smile: "Second brother, please don't see anyone outside."
Ruan Xiaoer wanted to say something more, but seeing that Chao San had already run out, he had no choice but to give up.
Only then did Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi realize that it was Chao Yong who was the host.
Not long after the four of them sat down, Chao San and the waiter brought wine and meat over, but the meat was wrapped in lotus leaves and tied with hemp rope. Several people got off the boat and said goodbye to each other. Chao Yong followed Ruan Xiaoqi to the place.
Paddling through the reeds.
At this time, there are willows and willows hanging on the shore, gulls and herons gather on the lake, lotus flowers are everywhere, and fishermen sing harmoniously.
The breeze blew, and Ruan Xiaoqi, who was drunk, also sang: "Grandpa was born between heaven and earth. He is not afraid of the court or officials. He casts a sky net on the water, and the turtle and the bastard hide it inside."
Chao Yong was aroused by Ruan Xiaoqi's heroic singing, and as he got drunker, he couldn't help singing the hero song loudly about the funeral.
"The big river flows eastward, the stars in the sky are like the Big Dipper, let's go when we say, you have what I have, I have everything, when the road is rough, let out a roar, take action when it's time to take action, the wind and the wind are rushing through Kyushu, hey, Yi'er,
Oh hey hey hey Yi'er."
These lyrics are in line with the character of a Jianghu man. After Chao Yong sang it twice, Ruan Xiaoqi also shouted: "When you see an injustice on the road, you roar, and when it's time to take action, you take action, and you rush through the nine states."
Along the way, there were all reed marshes, but this small Shijie Lake was full of branches and intertwined reeds. Every step was a fork, and every step was a fork. Chao Yong felt he couldn't tell the direction before rowing very far.
Deep in the reeds, Ruan Xiaoer pointed to a shack built on the water made of reed poles and said: "That's where I live. After tonight, Brother Yong will know that living in this reed swamp is better than that."
It’s much better on land.”
Chao Yong looked around and saw that the shack was only supported by a few logs stuck in the water. It made people wonder whether if they moved too much in the house, it would bring down the house.
However, with Ruan Xiaoqi's Yama in the water, Chao Yong is not worried about this problem.
The two of them went to the water house, where they laid out wine and meat and started eating while it was hot.
As night falls, flocks of birds descend on the reeds to roost.
Ruan Xiaoqi pointed to a group of snow-white birds with slender necks and said: "Those are egrets, their meat is the most tender. At night, they come to spend the night in the reed swamp, along with the orioles, roosters,
Wild ducks and wild geese. Many people around this lake rely on catching them to supplement their family income. If the prodigal comes in at night, as long as you have a sharp eye and a quick hand, you can catch them one by one by pinching their necks with your fingers to prevent them from screaming. Reed Marsh
There are also a lot of eggs they laid in it, and I still have some that I picked up today, which are perfect for drinking."
As he spoke, Ruan Xiaoqi took a fish basket from the corner, took out a dozen and placed them on the ground, picked up one, crushed it and poured it into his mouth.
Chao Yong also followed Ruan Xiaoqi's example, picking up a bird egg and crushing it, but the egg liquid splashed all over his face, and the liquid in his mouth was not enough to moisturize his lips.
Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Chao Yong's embarrassed look, laughed, patted the ground and said, "This doesn't require Brother Yong's magical power."
Chao Yong jumped onto the boat in embarrassment, washed his face in the water, and squeezed a few more pills, but found that he still couldn't get the hang of it, so he refused to imitate Ruan Xiaoqi's drinking method.
The two drank until midnight. Ruan Xiaoqi was exhausted. While drinking, he leaned over and fell asleep. Chao Yong pushed Ruan Xiaoqi a few times, but seeing that he was unconscious, he had no choice but to fall asleep.
