Chapter 519 Ruan's Three Heroes, Zhejiang Four Dragons
Jiaozhou Bay, Banqiao Town.
A remote shipyard is located at the southern end of Bosi, Zhenzhong City. Looking across the way, you can see the endless white sea. As the saying goes, the fog locks the mountains at the top, and the sky is connected to the water and the tail water is connected to the sky. On the other side of the sky, the sea water and the sky are locked.
They seem to be merged together. Looking at the past, you can't tell where is the water and where is the sky.
The waves in the sea are rushing towards the shore. When they hit the rocks beside the pier, they make a roaring sound. When people stand here and look up at the sea and sky, and listen to the sound of small waves lapping the shore, they can't help but feel
Be open-minded and relaxed.
However, huge waves will roll up from time to time in the sea in the distance, sometimes like undulating hills, sometimes like a dragon making waves. When the huge waves are rolling, the seemingly blue and peaceful sea is enough.
I truly feel the awe that the world has for the power of God.
But now there is a small boat drifting in the waves. Although it is floating like a fallen leaf on the vast sea, the two men on the boat are still drinking and talking, letting the boat float on the sea at the dock near the shore.
further and further.
"Grandpa was born in heaven and earth. He didn't seek wealth and no official position! He spent his whole life in rivers and seas, eating and drinking as good as the gods!"
On the boat, the man with pomegranate flowers on his temples, shirtless, and the green leopard head on his chest, suddenly became proud when he was on the sea. He was none other than Ruan Xiaowu, the short-lived second son of the three Ruan clans.
After Ruan Xiaowu sang loudly, he picked up the wine bottle and took a big sip, and then said: "I thought that Shijie Lake, which is connected to Liangshan Lake, has good water, and it will teach us three brothers to live happily. But here we are.
At the seaside of Jiaozhou Bay, I realized that if we don’t see the sea, it would be useless to say that our brothers are good men! Now, eating wine facing the sea is not the same. "
As Ruan Xiaowu was talking, he suddenly felt tightness in his chest and couldn't help coughing. Ruan Xiaoqi, who was lying on the boat opposite him, saw him and couldn't help laughing: "Fifth brother, when we were in Pingzhou, Liao Kingdom,
Your injury hasn't healed yet, why do you have to force yourself out to have a drink with me? That means the second brother is not here, otherwise you have to listen to his nagging again."
"It's just a few punches, and it counts as a bird?"
Ruan Xiaowu snorted loudly, and then said: "Xiaoqi, if you don't say it, I'm going to get jealous! Who else have we three Ruan brothers killed in the water? We hunt geese all day long, but...
I was almost blinded by a goose peck. I was careless that day and almost fell into the trap of that thief, but instead, you kid killed me and Wang Bolong stole the spotlight!"
Ruan Xiaoqi sat up leisurely and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? There seem to be many birds in the world that are waiting to be killed. The next time brother Xiao Tang calls us brothers to fight, will there be any big birds?
Man, I’ll let you kill Brother Yu Fifth!”
After hearing this, Ruan Xiaowu rolled his eyes strangely and snorted: "Who wants you to give in?"
Ruan Xiaoqi laughed loudly, then grabbed a pot of wine and drank it. On the rocking boat were not only several pots of famous local wines in Mizhou, but also several plates of dried beans, broad beans, duck breasts and other side dishes to go with the wine.
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the sea and was about to grab the side of the wooden boat. A half-year-old boy surfaced, and suddenly he saw two jars of wine placed on the bow of the boat. The boy chuckled to himself.
He made a sound and dived into the water again, intending to go around to the bow of the ship to steal the jar of wine.
There was a crisp sound of "pop". Before the young man could succeed, the sharp-eyed Ruan Xiaoqi slapped his hand aside. Ruan Xiaoqi pointed at the young man swimming away like a white fish in the sea, and laughed and cursed. : "Zhang Rong, you little hozen, your fur hasn't even grown yet, but you still want to imitate others in stealing wine!"
Zhang Rong swam back again and put his arms on the edge of the wooden boat. After he spat out the sea water in his mouth, he said angrily: "Brother Qi, don't look down on others! You three brothers are bringing the folks from Jishijie Village here. When you come to Banqiao Town, Mizhou, you either have to work on your skills on the water, or you ask them to row the boat to the north to do something. I'm not from Shijie Village? Why don't you take me with you?"
Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said: "The big things that the three of us brothers and our elder brother are doing are all dangerous jobs. Do you think it's just for fun? What does it have to do with a little kid like you! If you want to be a hero in the world, you You guys have to wait a few more years!"
Zhang Rong snorted softly and said: "Brother Qi, although I am younger, I don't care about anything! When I come out to make a name for myself in the world, I'm afraid that my little white dragon's name will overwhelm me. You living hell!"
Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaowu couldn't help laughing loudly after hearing this. Ruan Xiaoqi pretended to kick Zhang Rong, and said with a smile: "You little hozen, you started bragging with grandpa, and you asked for a beating." !?"
Zhang Rong chuckled, and immediately dived into the water with a sharp thrust, and only a few white waves rose up on the sparkling blue sea.
At this moment, two men had already arrived in front of the dock. They looked around and finally saw the two brothers Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi who were swinging in the sea on the boat. One of them was a slender man with fair skin. He opened his mouth and shouted: "Fifth brother, seventh brother, I have something to do and I am looking for you. I wonder where the second brother is now?"
Ruan Xiaoqi turned his head and looked towards the shore. When he saw the man coming clearly, he smiled and said: "It turns out that brothers Meng Kang, second brother, brother Zhang Shun and sailor boat owner Shang are all on the island. These days you Aren't they all busy purchasing pomelo elm wood and supervising the construction of shipping ships? How could the wind come here to find us?"
Meng Kang, the original leader of Yinmachuan in Jizhou, was invited by Xiao Tang to Mizhou to supervise shipbuilding because he was good at shipbuilding. Meng Kang said with a smile: "There is indeed something important to tell the three brothers of the Ruan family. Let's go ashore first." Say it again."
After Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, they rowed in the direction of the dock with birch branches. Not long after, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi jumped on the shore and cabled the wooden boat, and then they saw Meng Kang clearly. When she saw the man next to her, Ruan Xiaoqi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
The man was born with light eyebrows, a few mustaches, a half-length swastika scarf, and a white Luo shirt embroidered with a red waist. Although he was quite upright, his complexion was bronze, and he had his trouser legs rolled up. Son, with half of his broad chest exposed, you can see that his skin is not only dark, but also has lines like copper coins, like rusty bronze.
Ruan Xiaoqi knows that there are many men who work as fishermen, boatmen, boatmen, etc., and rely on the water to make a living. Because they live in the water all year round, and are exposed to wind and sun, they are prone to rust-like stains on their bodies. So he smiled at the man and said, "Hero, it seems that you are also in the water industry. What should I call you?"
The man saluted Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi with his fists raised, and said loudly: "Just now, I heard Manager Meng mention the names of the short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu and the living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi. Jade Claw Dragon originally made a living as a boatman on the Qiantang River. My father once worked with Luocao in Wuyi Mountain and worked as a leader under Mei Dalang, Uncle Mei Shi.
Not long ago, Uncle Mei Shi came to see me, saying that he wanted to lead some of our brothers who were seeking a living on the Qiantang River to go north to join the Ming Dynasty. I heard that the hero was recruiting talents and gathering with many good men for the cause of righteousness.
Although I and the three other heroes on the Qiantang River were promoted by our brothers on the road and were called the 'Four Dragons of Zhejiang', we only spent our time doing business as boatmen. Now that we can get Dazhai to join us, we have fulfilled our wish!"
After Ruan Xiaowu heard this, he immediately said happily: "It turns out they are brothers Chenggui. The three of us Ruan brothers were also fishermen who only made a living by fishing in Shijie Village, Bobian, Liangshan, Jeju.
I went to my brother Juyi because of his jealousy. Speaking of you four heroes, you are very similar to the origins of our three Ruan brothers! My brother said that senior Mei Zhan brought the four of you here. I wonder where he is now.
where?"
Meng Kang replied from the side: "Senior Mei was originally afraid of being overcrowded, so he first ordered Brother Chenggui to drive a small boat to Banqiao Town, Mizhou to inform him. Now it is almost time to arrive at the shipyard at the Shipping Department. Manager Xiao
Someone has been sent to greet me, and I have been informed that I have come to educate the brothers of the Ruan family."
After hearing this, Ruan Xiaoqi laughed and said: "I heard my brother mention that Mei Dalang, who was famous in the green forests of Liangzhe Road in the past, is now willing to help us achieve great things. Since he was a famous figure in the world back then, we will go and visit him.
I also want to see what kind of heroes Senior Mei has recommended from Jiangnan, who can become brothers who help us in times of trouble!"
