In the evening, Zhang Wenyuan and Yan Poxi returned to the prison again. Although Yan Poxi took medicine twice, her fever did not go down. When Li Dalian came to deliver dinner, he saw her lying on the haystack like a dead dog and asked Zhang Wenyuan suspiciously. , "What's wrong with her? Is she going to die?"

Zhang Wenyuan said angrily, "Do you want her to die?"

Li Dalian blurted out, "Yes, I wish she would die now!"

Zhang Wenyuan snorted, "If she dies now, you can burn and bury the money, I don't have any money!"

Li Dalian immediately shut up and whispered, "Then let her live for a few more days!"

After a while, Yan Poxi raised his head and glanced at her. Li Dalian was immediately relieved and said calmly, "Eat quickly, I prepared more today, and you can also share!"

Yan Poxi sat up with difficulty and thanked her. Li Dalian glanced at her, "Humph, I have never seen anyone more hard-hearted than your mother. You didn't show up for two days and didn't even give you food. Who are you?" Isn’t he her biological child?”

Yan Poxi was speechless. She had known for a long time that her mother was unreliable, but she didn't expect her to be so cruel. After such a big thing happened to her, she didn't even come to deliver food. Was she going to starve to death?

"Stop talking about those useless things!" Zhang Wen saw that Li Dalian was about to start scolding people again, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to chase them away, "It's already dark, and you haven't gone back. Do you think this is a good place?"

Li Dalian snorted, "You won't be here tomorrow. I have to take the bowl back and the straw mat. I bought it with money."

Zhang Wenyuan waved his hand and hummed, "Things used in the cell are dirty and bad luck, so I don't want them anymore!"

Although Li Dalian was a little reluctant to part with it, she thought it was just used in prison. What was wrong with it? But since Zhang Wenyuan had already said it, she had no choice but to bear the pain and give up, "Humph, you know how to show off. You don't know what's going on at home?"

Zhang Wenyuan was too lazy to argue with her, so he sent her away after saying a few words, and then lay on the straw mat alone, bored, thinking about the future.

Eh... It's a bad start. Why did I become little Zhang San? Wouldn't it be better to become the leopard-headed Lin Chong, the traveler Wu Song, or the prodigal Yan Qing? I can also follow Song Jiang to start a career? Even if you are not a Liangshan hero, you can just choose one of the Three Heroes of Zhujiazhuang or the Five Tigers of Zengtou City. You can also be a rich man and make some inventions, and you can still live a enjoyable life. No matter how bad it is, it is still acceptable to travel back in time to the princes of Song Huizong. Even if there is the shame of Jingkang waiting for him, he can still escape it with his meager historical knowledge. Maybe he can become Zhao Laojiu?

But why the hell did God allow him to time travel to Zhang Wenyuan, a scumbag? Apart from being handsome and possessing an artistic talent, what else does this guy have that he can do well?

According to the plot trend of "Water Margin", Yan Poxi and Song Jiang had a peak showdown, which completely changed their fate, but now it seems that it is impossible. With his own participation, Song Jiang has already landed in advance, and Yan Poxi should also Since he can't die, it should be considered a happy reunion.

But what should Song Jiang do? Yan Po is willing to die. How can he go to Qingzhou to cause trouble, and how can he go to Jiangzhou to establish a series of connections? Without his interference, how would Liang Shanbo's story be interpreted?

It is now the fifth year of Zhenghe, which is 1115 AD. This is an unusual year, because in the first month of this year, the Jurchen chief Wanyan Aguda has officially established the country and proclaimed himself emperor, defeated the invading Liao army of 300,000, and occupied the country. Go to Huanglong Mansion. According to the original historical trajectory, he would destroy the Liao Kingdom in eight years, and then sharpen his sword to attack the Song Dynasty. Ten years later, the Jin Kingdom launched a massive attack on the Song Dynasty. Twelve years later, during the Jingkang Incident, the two emperors Huiqin and Huiqin became prisoners of the Jin Kingdom. Then came the 15-year Song-Jin War, which would not occur until the Song-Jin Dynasty reached an agreement in 1142. There was a short-lived peace. Real peace would have to wait until 1161, which was forty-six years later.

In other words, within the next forty or fifty years, there will be no peaceful days in the Central Plains, and Shandong will completely become an enemy-occupied area. The majority of Shandong people will become third-class citizens of the Jin Kingdom. They will have to wait until two More than a hundred years later, when the Ming Dynasty was established and Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da to the Northern Expedition, he would return to the embrace of the Han government.

However, it seems that he traveled through the Water Margin world. According to the timeline of "Water Margin", Song Jiang had not yet joined Liangshan in the fifth year of Zhenghe, and would not join Liangshan until two years later. Five years later, in the second year of Xuanhe, Liangshan would Entering its heyday. If I follow Song Jiang now, with the skills I learned in later generations, I should be able to sit in a high position in the future. If I work hard after recruitment, I should be able to become a small official, right?

But I am now within the system. Following Song Jiang in such a big circle and finally returning to the system, isn't this taking off my pants and farting?

Zhang Wenyuan smiled bitterly in his heart and said to Song Jiang, Song Jiang, you have already entered the system, can't you just endure it slowly? Why do we have to take the path of "become an official, kill people, set fires, and be recruited"?

He is a science student with very little historical knowledge. He does not understand that officials and officials are two different worlds in Chinese history, just like the civil service establishment and the career establishment in later generations. Because you are a career clerk, no matter how good you are at your job, you can only It is impossible to embark on an official career by taking a professional position. Song Jiang and Zhang Wenyuan were both civil servants. No matter how good they were at their job and how outstanding their performance was, they could not become officials. Not to mention the seventh-grade Sesame Officer, which was looked down upon by later generations, even county captains and chief registrars could not become officials. Because they are also officials.

When I was thinking hard on the text page, a loud voice suddenly came from my ears, "Hey...that little brother!"

Zhang Wenyuan was startled. He looked around and saw a burly black figure slowly walking towards him in the prison next door. What was going on in his mind? Could there be another prison crisis? After he united this cell, he has been coexisting peacefully with his neighbors without any provocative behavior!

The black shadow was still approaching, and the sound of the shackles behind him dragging the ground was like the magic sound coming from hell, which made people shudder, as if the world had stopped.

"Hey... little brother?" The black figure finally came to the fence, squatted down slowly, covered his mouth with one hand and asked in a low voice, "Can you hear me?"

Seeing his sneaky look, combined with his huge size and Hong Zhong-like voice, Zhang Wenyuan's fear suddenly disappeared. He said to himself, brother, I'm afraid the whole cell heard your voice just now. Is there any need to be cautious?

"Are you calling me?" Although Zhang Wenyuan wanted to remind him that there is no need for us to act like a secret agent, but seeing how big this guy was, even if he was shackled, he might not be able to defeat him, so he had to correct his attitude. , replied respectfully, "I wonder what your orders are, brother?"

"Hey...here it is!" The black figure sat down on the edge of the cypress fence, looked around, and said with a cautious smile, "Little Liu Han, there is a nickname in the world that doesn't stick to the mud. , I wonder if you have ever heard of it?”

Du Jiang shook his head and said, "Sorry, I really haven't heard of it."

Liu Han was startled and thought to himself, "Can you stop being so real?" Would you die if you said something nice?

"Xiao Ke saw your action yesterday. It was very good. I wonder what you call me?"

Although Zhang Wenyuan could not clearly see his appearance, he could tell from his voice that this man was a reckless man with a very low IQ. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Xiao Ke Zhang Wenyuan, when I go to work at home, others call me Xiao Zhang San." , they are locals.”

"Oh, it turns out they are the three brothers, Xiao Zhang!" Liu Han carefully searched his mind for a while, and after confirming that there was no such person in the world, he felt relieved. "I wonder why Brother Xian came in?"

Naturally, Zhang Wenyuan would not say that he came in because of adultery, so he just made up an excuse, pointed at Yan Poxi and said, "Oh, it's nothing serious. I just saw a ruffian bullying a weak woman on the street during the day. It was her. We in Shandong People are the most loyal people, how can they stand by and watch when something like this happens? Seeing her being humiliated, I rushed in to save her, and even beat the scoundrel to a happy face. I felt so happy at the time, but I didn’t know what happened. The scoundrel was a well-connected person, and his father turned out to be a confidant of the county magistrate. I acted rashly without knowing the truth. Not only did I fail to help the girl, but the evil thief found an excuse to arrest me and beat me. , sentenced to three days of parade."
