Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Zhang Shi is also from Songjiazhuang.

From the surname, it is not difficult to see that Zhang Shi’s family is an outsider.

Because they are outsiders, Zhang Shi and his brother Zhang Chao have been bullied by children named Song in Songjiazhuang since they were young.

It wasn't until the Zhang Shi brothers got together with Song Wan, who had been very good at fighting since childhood, that the situation changed.

The two brothers Zhang Shi were very grateful to Song Wan who had always protected them. Therefore, after Song Wan offended Song Baozheng, they followed Song Wan to Liangshan to occupy the mountain as king.

Although Zhang Shi, like Song Wan and others, had always made a living by fishing and collecting lotus roots, the difference was that Zhang Shi was literate.

This was due to the fact that when Zhang Shi was a child, he saw that Song Baozheng, who usually showed off his power in the village, was very polite to the private school teacher he invited to teach his children.

At that time, Zhang Shi determined to be a private school teacher when he grew up.

So Zhang Shi went to Song Baozheng's private school every day to eavesdrop under the wall.

The private school teacher soon discovered Zhang Shi, a kid who was cheating on his studies, but he never revealed the matter. He also used it to educate Song Baozheng's useless son (that is, the late Song Dynasty who wanted to sleep with Song Wan's sweetheart). When he got the chance, he threw a book of hundreds of family names and a book of thousand characters out of the window and asked Zhang Shi to pick them up.

Later, before he resigned because he couldn't teach him well in the late Song Dynasty, the private school teacher specially found Zhang Shi and gave Zhang Shi a pile of books, asking Zhang Shi to study hard and strive for fame in the future.

Therefore, when Jiang Hongfei and Wang Lun were comparing poems that day, apart from Wang Lun, Zhang Shi was the only person present who understood the song "Sheep on the Hillside" that Jiang Hongfei "composed".

At that time, Jiang Hongfei shocked Zhang Shi, a real low-level man, far more than Wang Lun.

——Zhang Shi feels that Jiang Hongfei is not only a talented person, but also a person who understands the poor people.

At that moment, Zhang Shi concluded that Jiang Hongfei was by no means a creature in the pond, and Wang Lun, who did not even dare to write a poem in front of Jiang Hongfei, would definitely not be Jiang Hongfei's opponent.

After that, no matter what others said or did, Zhang Shi had great respect for Jiang Hongfei. Whenever Jiang Hongfei had something to do, Zhang Shi would do his best to do it.

Not only that, Zhang Shi also took his brother Zhang Chao to serve Jiang Hongfei's food and daily life meticulously, so that Jiang Hongfei's majesty as the leader of the village never fell to the ground.

This is actually one of the reasons why Jiang Hongfei has not come to Shijie Village to recruit the three heroes of the Ruan family.

What's more, what others don't know is that Zhang Shi once reminded Song Wan, who was already very close to Wang Lun at that time: "Brother, I would rather learn the Taoyuan three-sworn bond than the Wagang one-burner incense. We have sworn to the heavenly alliance, respecting Brother Jiang Yan is the leader of the village, how can he be so arrogant and make his fellow Jianghu people laugh at him?"

It was precisely because of Zhang Shi's reminder that Song Wan went to Jiang Hongfei to remind Jiang Hongfei to pay attention to Wang Lun.

In short, Zhang Shi always believed that when Jiang Hongfei took action, Wang Lun would be defeated.

Things turned out exactly as Zhang Shi expected.

When Jiang Hongfei asked Zhang Shi and Zhang Chao to drive him to Shijie Village, Zhang Shi knew that Wang Lun had lost.

As a person who grew up in Liangshanbo, Zhang Shi knew very well how powerful the three heroes of the Ruan family were.

It is no exaggeration to say that no one who fishes or picks lotus roots in Liangshanbo disrespects the three heroes of the Ruan family.

Even Song Wan had to politely call him Second Brother, Fifth Brother, and Seventh Brother when he saw the three men of the Ruan family.

Let's put it this way, with a casual call from the three men of the Ruan family, at least three to two hundred fishermen and lotus root pickers came to Liangshan, easily offsetting Wang Lun's three months of hard work and careful management.

The key is that Jiang Hongfei made the living Yama Ruan Xiaoqi bow to him with just a few words, and now he was treated as a guest by the Lidi Tai Sui Ruan Xiaoer and the short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu.

Listen to what Jiang Hongfei said again, from the imperial court, from the Liao Kingdom, from Xixia, from the Jurchens, from Tubo, from all the grassland tribes, from all the countries in the Western Regions, from Korea, from Japan, from Dali, from Annan, and from Champa , from the Khmer Dynasty, from the Kingdom of the Queen, from the Kingdom of Siam, from the Tianzhu Kingdoms, from the Dashi Kingdom, and from the Western Kingdoms.

How could these insights be accessible to country people like them who fished and picked lotus roots in Liaoerwa?

Not to mention that the three heroes of the Ruan family, who were determined to do great things, were very excited when they heard this. They felt that as long as they followed Jiang Hongfei, a man with great knowledge, he would definitely achieve a lot.

Even Zhang Shi, who only dreamed of being a private school teacher, after hearing what Jiang Hongfei said about these novelties that he had never heard of, he also thought with longing: "If I can follow the leader of the village to see this vast world, even if I, Zhang Shi, can Even if you die, this life will not be in vain!”

In order to entertain Jiang Hongfei, Ruan Xiaoqi personally went to Liangshanbo to catch a fresh ground fish to make soup for Jiang Hongfei. Ruan Xiaowu went to a brother's house to borrow an ox and got the best beef to cook. Secondly, he stayed with Jiang Hongfei throughout the whole process and did not dare to neglect Jiang Hongfei in the slightest.

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi asked their confidants to buy some jars of good wine.

The banquet was ready, and the three brothers invited Jiang Hongfei to take a seat, and they were accompanied by the Prime Minister.

The four began to brag about drinking.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Ruan Xiaoer used the strength of the wine to say: "My three brothers are real and true, and we dare not mix it up with any lies! My brother will lead us. If we are willing to risk our lives to help my brother, the remaining wine will make us suffer misfortune. If you get a bad disease, you will die unexpectedly!"

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi both clapped their hands on their necks and said, "Absolutely, the three of my brothers are so passionate and can only be sold to those who know the goods like my brother!"

Jiang Hongfei said: "Others don't know what I know, but the three good brothers all have good skills, but it's a pity that they have no place to use their talents and can only make a living by fishing. Life is like grass and autumn. How can we, such good men, live in idleness for the rest of our lives?" ?”

Ruan Xiaoqi listened happily, raised the wine bowl high, and echoed: "Brother, don't say that, I am willing to take three of my brothers, go into water and fire, and go into fire. Even if I only have to use my brother for a day, we will die." Now, you can open your eyes and open your eyes!"

Jiang Hongfei said with a straight face: "That's nonsense. Since I'm looking for you and the three of you to gather together, I'm going to accomplish great things. How can I make your sacrifices in vain?"

After hearing this, Ruan Xiaowu said: "Come on! Come on!" and shouted: "Qilang, what am I telling you? One day, there will be heroes who know people and are good at appointing them. I know my brothers and three heroes. It has come true today." !”

Ruan Xiaoqi jumped up and said: "Today I have fulfilled my hope for a lifetime! It just scratches my itch! When shall we go?"

Jiang Hongfei smiled and said: "The time is decided by you three brothers. The gate of Shuibo Liangshan is open to you at any time."

The three heroes of the Ruan family were overjoyed.

The four of them continued drinking and talking.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Ruan Xiaoer took the initiative and said: "Brother, give me three brothers for three days, and we can recruit some people to go to Liangshan together."

Ruan Xiaowu explained on the side: "My three brothers must not allow others to make irresponsible remarks and think that we only relied on my brother's loyalty to get to Liangshan."

Jiang Hongfei was not polite to the three men of the Ruan family, and only said: "I will prepare a bed for my brother on Liangshan Mountain."

There are poems to prove it: Jiang Yan is not a thing in the pond, Ruan Lang is enjoying his time fishing. Just because he has the ambition to conquer the clouds, all the heroes come together for justice.

Ruan's three heroes personally rowed a boat to see Jiang Hongfei off for thirty miles, and then Ruan Xiaoqi diligently helped Jiang Hongfei board the boat rowed by Zhang Shi and Zhang Chao. The three brothers reluctantly said goodbye to Jiang Hongfei.

Zhang Shi and Zhang Chao were rocking the boat to carry Jiang Hongfei back to Liangshan. Zhang Shi looked at Jiang Hongfei's back standing on the bow of the boat and only hated that he was not spiritually capable. Otherwise, he could follow Jiang Hongfei who was destined to be extraordinary like the three heroes of the Ruan family. A big deal.

now……

At this moment, Jiang Hongfei asked without looking back: "Zhang Shi, are you literate?"

Zhang Shi quickly replied: "Thank you to the leader of the village, I know it."

Jiang Hongfei turned around and asked again: "How about arithmetic?"

Zhang Shi quickly replied: "I know a little bit about it."

Jiang Hongfei looked at Zhang Shi and said, "If you are illiterate and don't know arithmetic, you may not be able to do a good job in managing money and food. You can go back and become a leader under Chief Du Qian to help him."

Zhang Shi bowed to the ground without hesitation and said: "No!"

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei had no other instructions, Zhang Shicai straightened up.

At this time, Jiang Hongfei had turned his head back and continued to look at the distant horizon, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhang Shi continued to look at Jiang Hongfei's tall back and thought to himself: "Assist Leader Du Qian in managing money and food... Maybe, I don't have to be a powerful Qi practitioner to follow the leader of the village to do great things..."
