Wang Lun couldn't hold back the joy in his heart. When he was about to go down the mountain, Xiao Wu was even more happy and shouted that he would go to Jiangnan with Wang Lun.
"Brother." Seeing Wang Lun rushing down the mountain, Ma Lin stood up and said, "Brother Wang Yin's wedding is on the eighth day of May next year. It's still half a year away. Isn't it too early to go down the mountain now?
Moreover, there are still many unfinished things on Liangshan Mountain. The eldest brother hurriedly went down the mountain. There will be no owner in the village, and chaos will inevitably occur. Moreover, it has already entered winter, it has begun to snow, and the road is difficult to travel. It is not a good time to go down the mountain. In my opinion, the little brother , it is better to wait until after the New Year, and then go down the mountain at the beginning of spring next year. By then, everything in the village can be arranged properly, and there will be enough time. Please think twice, big brother. "
Wang Lun thought about it and this was indeed the case. Although various tasks on Liangshan Mountain were now on track, there were still many things to do. If he left at this time, he would really be unable to escape.
If we set out in the spring next year, we will first go to Qilinmen to invite Zhou Tong, Wang Gui, Yue Fei and others, then go to Gansu and Shaanxi Jinglue Mansion to see our fourth uncle Wang Jin, and finally go to Jiangnan. Calculating the time, it will be enough. As for Lu Junyi, Chai Jin and others can just write a letter themselves and send someone to send it to invite them.
"That's fine." Seeing that Ma Lin's words were reasonable, Wang Lun stopped being impatient and said, "Then we can wait until after the Lantern Festival next year before going down the mountain."
Everyone had no objections, except Xiao Wu who was unhappy because she couldn't go out to play again.
There is nothing else to do at the moment. On Liangshan Mountain, Wang Lun leads the leaders to busy with various village affairs every day. Ma Lin, Du Qian, and Song Wan train horses and soldiers according to the military training method compiled by Wang Lun. Zhu Gui and Duan Jingzhu Then he would collect and summarize the discovered martial arts information and hand it over to Wang Lun, who would then hold a meeting with the leaders to discuss and analyze all the information.
This year, the agricultural, fishery, forestry, and livestock projects that Tao Zongwang was responsible for also had a great harvest. The warehouses above Liangshan were overflowing, and the livestock was prosperous. The business of Xiaowangzhuang at the foot of Nanshan was also getting more and more prosperous. It can be said that there was a lot of money, and money was made every day. Jiang Jing Calculating money and food every day, I was very busy.
In the blink of an eye, winter turns to spring, the annual Lantern Festival has passed, and the second spring of Wang Lun's arrival in this era has quietly arrived.
This year's spring seems to have come extremely early. As soon as the first month has come out, the upper and lower reaches of Liangshan Mountain are already full of green.
Wang Lun originally planned to go down the mountain as soon as the fifteenth day passed, but he was busy with many things and could not get away from it. It was not until the first lunar month that he finally had some free time.
This day was the second day of February, the day when the dragon raised its head, and it was also the time for Wang Lun to go down the mountain. Early in the morning, all the leaders in the village gathered in front of the dock at the northern foot of Liangshan Mountain to see Wang Lun off.
On this trip, Wang Lun only brought Xiao Wu and Ping'er with him, while the rest of the leaders stayed in Liangshan.
Xiao Wu must go with him. Even if there is no such thing as Wang Yin's wedding, as long as he goes out to play, how can he leave Miss Xiao Wu behind? But after all, he is going out, and Xiao Wu is the most troublesome person. , Wang Lun asked Ping'er to accompany him, so that he could be Xiao Wu's companion, and Wang Lun would also have someone to serve him.
As for the others, of course everyone wanted to follow, but the foundation of Liangshan was just established and it was only beginning to take shape. It was inseparable from people at all times, so Wang Lun had to let Ma Lin and others stay on the mountain, and Wang Lun was not on the mountain. In those days, everything was decided through consultation between Ma Lin and Jiang Jing, with assistance from Du Qian and others.
A large ship was parked on the shore of Shuizhai Pier in the north of Liangshan. Wang Lun, Xiao Wu, and Ping'er boarded the ship and left the shore. They waved goodbye to Ma Lin and others. Tao Zongwang personally led the boat and sailed into the Liangshan water berth.
This time, Wang Lun did not take the official road in the south of Shannan, but took the waterway in the north of Liangshan. This was because Wang Lun wanted to meet a few people before leaving Liangshan, and these people lived across the water from Liangshan. The three heroes of the Ruan family in Shijie Village, facing each other from a distance.
Speaking of the three Ruan brothers, Wang Lun is naturally very familiar with them. These three people are the main characters in the novel Water Margin.
According to the story of Water Margin, the three Ruan brothers are brothers of the same mother. They live in Shijie Village on the edge of the Liangshan River. They only make a living by fishing and selling private goods.
However, although the three Ruan brothers are just ordinary fishermen, they all have good skills. They are definitely the best in the world, and their abilities both above and below the water are rare.
According to the Water Margin, the eldest brother among the three brothers is called Ruan Xiaoer, the second brother is called Ruan Xiaowu, and the third brother is called Ruan Xiaoqi. When Wang Lun was reading the novel, he thought the names of these three people were very interesting. The brothers are ranked in no particular order.
Although the reason for this is not stated clearly in the book, according to Wang Lun's own analysis, there may have been seven Ruan brothers originally, but later four of them may have died due to various reasons, leaving only the second, fifth, and fourth brothers. Seven's three brothers.
Later, Wang Lun had the opportunity to meet and become friends with the three Ruan brothers. Only then did he realize that this was indeed the case. The Ruan family originally had seven children. However, because of their poor family and difficult life, they had four brothers. The sisters died young, leaving only three Ruan brothers alive today.
Speaking of the acquaintance with the three Ruan brothers, it was because of the fight for the fishing ground in Liangshan Shuibo.
It turns out that since Wang Lun and others occupied Liangshan, they often went fishing in the water. However, the Ruan brothers who lived in Shijie Village had no big fish because the Shijie Lake where they lived was narrow. Big fish can only be found in the Liangshan waterfront, so the Ruan brothers often led fishermen from Shijie Village to fish in the Liangshan waterfront.
As they went back and forth, there was a conflict between Liangshan and Shijie Village. The people in Liangshan tried to drive away the fishermen led by the Ruan brothers several times. However, the three Ruan brothers did have extraordinary abilities. The three of them were not only capable on land but also underwater. Yes, and will also build a Clippers.
The fishing boats built by the three Ruan brothers were extremely fast. Every time they went to Liangshan to catch a big fish, they would immediately turn around and run away. Although Liangshan had a large number of people and a large number of boats, the speed of the boat was still It was too slow and couldn't catch up with the Ruan brothers' boat.
The people in Liangshan watched the fishing boats from Shijie Village sail away after catching a warehouse full of fish many times, but they could not catch up with them. Although they were angry in their hearts, they had no choice but to look at the ocean and sigh.
At that time, Wang Lun had not yet traveled through time, and the original dead ghost Wang Lun was in charge of Liangshan Mountain. The dead ghost Wang Lun also organized people to chase and block the fishing boats in Shijie Village several times, but they were all unsuccessful.
Only once did Wang Lun, the dead ghost, devise a plan to intercept the fishing boat in Shijie Village and surround all the three Ruan brothers. As a result, the two families failed to negotiate and a fire broke out.
However, the three heroes of the Ruan family are really powerful. After a battle, although Liangshan had many people and boats, Du Qian, Song Wan and others did not know how to fight in water and made mistakes in command. Finally, the three heroes of the Ruan family led the fishermen of Shijie Village to break through. And go.
Liangshan did not get any advantage in this battle. Not only did the three Ruan heroes jump into the water and scuttled thirteen Liangshan warships, injuring dozens of brothers, Song Wan also capsized and fell into the water, almost drowning. ghost.
The Shijie Village side also injured more than a dozen people. From then on, the two families became completely hostile, and conflicts continued from time to time.
After Wang Lun traveled through time, he learned about this matter in the memory of the dead ghost Wang Lun. He felt that it was better to resolve enemies than to end them. Besides, the three heroes of the Ruan family were definitely not easy to mess with. Offending them would be trouble after all, so he decided to change his strategy. Try to settle the matter.
Wang Lun found out that the birthday of the mother of the three Ruan brothers was approaching, and the Ruan brothers were extremely filial people. Wang Lun prepared a generous gift and personally went across the lake with Du Qian and Song Wan to Shijie Village to celebrate her birthday.
The three Ruan brothers were also very surprised to see Wang Lun's sudden visit. However, seeing Wang Lun coming with gifts to celebrate his birthday, and there were only three of them, and it was a rule in the world not to hit anyone with a smiling face, the Ruan brothers also treated their guests with courtesy.
At the birthday banquet, people from all walks of life gathered together, and naturally they drank heavily first. Wang Lun was bold and generous, eating large pieces of meat and drinking from large bowls. No matter who came to share the wine, they would drink until the glass was dry without any sloppiness. Ruan's When the three brothers saw that Wang Lun was so magnanimous, they also shouted happily, and their previous unhappiness immediately faded a lot.
When the wine was getting hot, Wang Lun expressed his intention to come, hoping that the two families could resolve their conflicts and stop the conflict.
Wang Lun was sincere and pointed out that the Liangshan River was so vast and the products were extremely rich, enough to support the people of Liangshan and Shijie Villages. There was no need to fight to the death over this. Wouldn't it be better for the two families to share peacefully?
The three Ruan brothers are also cheerful people. Seeing that although there are many people in Liangshan, they do not bully the small ones. Wang Lun, as the leader of a village, even took the initiative to visit, which shows his sincerity. Wang Lun is also outstanding and magnanimous. , yet approachable and without any pretense. Talking with him makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.
Furthermore, Liangshan is a vast territory with a large population and rich products. We do not expect to make a living from fishing, but we know this because the fishermen in Shijie Village on our side are all relying on fishing to make a living.
Since the conflict with Liangshan, although on the surface Shijie Village has not suffered much loss, after several battles, it has also learned how powerful Liangshan is. Now it has been months since it dared to fish in the water of Liangshan. The life of fishermen in the village It is becoming increasingly difficult.
Now that Wang Lun has taken the initiative to negotiate peace, there is no reason why he should not respond. At that moment, the three Ruan brothers made an agreement with Wang Lun that Liangshan and Shijie Village would live in harmony from now on, share the water, and never fight.
It's just that this Liangshan water park belongs to Liangshan after all. It's always unreasonable for Shijie Village to fish here. To show their sincerity, the three Ruan brothers expressed their willingness to hand over 30% of the catch to Wang Lun. Liangshan.
How could Wang Lun take a fancy to these small profits, so he declined immediately. Seeing Wang Lun's big heart, the three Ruan brothers admired him even more, and since then they have been sincerely friends with Wang Lun.
After that, Liangshan and Shijie Village had many contacts and got along very well. Wang Lun also revealed to the three Ruan brothers that he wanted to invite the three of them to Liangshan to join their family.
However, the three Ruan brothers were always hesitant and did not finally agree. However, they told Wang Lun that although they would not go up the mountain to join the gang, they were willing to help Liangshan. If something happened in Liangshan, Shijie Village would definitely help.
