Water Margin: Hu Sanniang and I swapped clothes

"Knock knock—knock knock—"

"It's past midnight..."

Ruan Xiaoqi lay on the bed, her two large, bulging eyes wide open as if she had died with her eyes open.

"Seventh Brother, don't worry!"

Hearing the night watchman's drum, Ruan Xiaowu quickly reassured Ruan Xiaoqi:

"We three brothers were among the first to follow King Chao!"

"You are seriously injured, how can King Chao ignore it?"

"Isn't this a victory celebration banquet being held in the Hall of Righteousness?"

"As the chief of the stronghold, it is only natural that Chao Tianwang cannot get away from this!"

"But I believe he will definitely come to visit you when he has the chance!"

Ruan Xiaoqi thought about it and agreed: "Well, if he comes..."

"I'll trust him one more time..."

Ruan Xiaoer pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Thump—thump-thump! Thump—thump-thump!"

It's past midnight...

Ruan Xiaoqi's two large, protruding eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

"Shichiro, don't worry!"

Although Ruan Xiaowu was also worried that Chao Gai wouldn't come, she still held out hope for him:

"Think about it, there are thirty or forty heroes in the Hall of Righteousness. How long would it take for each of them to offer a bowl of wine to King Chao?"

"Chao Tianwang won't refuse to come and visit you. Let's wait for him a little longer; it won't make a difference if we wait a little longer..."

Ruan Xiaoer sneered and said nothing.

"Thump—thump thump thump! Thump—thump thump thump!"

It's past midnight...

Ruan Xiaoqi's two large, protruding eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.

"Shichiro..."

Ruan Xiaowu didn't know how to comfort Ruan Xiaoqi.

You should know that the fourth watch is from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m.

It's already past midnight, how could Chao Gai possibly come over?

Ruan Xiaoer snorted coldly: "Don't wait for that heartless bastard!"

"With this 'timely rain,' he no longer remembers the 'living Yama' (a powerful and influential figure)."

"He's different..."

Ruan Xiaowu wanted to explain, but felt powerless to do anything, since Chao Gai really hadn't come to visit.

Just then, they heard snoring from the side. Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu turned their heads and saw that Ruan Xiaoqi had already fallen asleep.

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu exchanged a glance, then shook their heads with wry smiles.

They are Ruan Xiaoqi's biological brothers, how could they not know Ruan Xiaoqi?

Falling asleep might be an illusion, but feeling despair is definitely real.

Ruan Xiaowu winked at Ruan Xiaoer: If Qilang gives up following Chao Gai, what should we do?

Ruan Xiaoer raised an eyebrow: "We two and Qilang are brothers from the same mother, of course we will stand together!"

Ruan Xiaowu nodded with a wry smile: "Then we'll advance and retreat together. With Chao Gai as our 'timely rain' by our side, that's enough..."

So Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu lay down on the communal bed and closed their eyes to sleep, but Ruan Xiaoqi opened her eyes.

In the darkness, his eyes were filled with tears.

……

The next day.

Chao Gai slept until noon.

I woke up with a splitting headache; I must have drunk way too much last night.

After getting up, Chao Gai's head was buzzing. He only felt a little better after washing his face and eating.

Chao Gai, slumped in the chair in a "Ge You slouch" posture, seemed to be waking up, as if he had forgotten something.

But even with a headache, Chao Gai couldn't remember what he had forgotten...

Just when Chao Gai was finally about to remember, Song Jiang came to invite him:

"Brother, let's go fishing!"

"Fishing..."

Chao Gai was somewhat tempted, but he was deep in thought and already had a plan.

"Brother, it's been a while since we went fishing together..."

Song Jiang held Chao Gai's hand with deep affection:

"After fighting this battle, I have many private things I want to say to my brother..."

Ever since Song Jiang joined Liangshan, Chao Gai and Song Jiang would often meet up to go fishing by the lake.

Firstly, it helps to relax both body and mind.

Secondly, it helps to build relationships.

Thirdly, if there's nothing else to do, we can chat and gossip.

Fourthly, it provides a relaxed environment for discussing matters.

Chao Gai had no reason to refuse, and besides, he also wanted to test Song Jiang's true thoughts by fishing with him.

"Brother, wait a moment, let me put on the turban first."

Chao Gai temporarily put the forgotten matter out of his mind again.

I haven't thought of it yet, I'll think about it slowly later.

Wearing a turban is more important; who goes fishing without wearing one?

After putting on his turban, Chao Gai and Song Jiang went fishing.

Fishing can last all day...

...Sun Xin Line...

Maojiazhuang.

Grandpa Mao and his son Mao Zhongyi sat in the warm pavilion, drinking and chatting about Jie Zhen and Jie Bao:

"My son, we need to get this done quickly."

"A long night can lead to many unforeseen problems; be careful of unexpected complications."

"Don't worry, Father!"

Mao Zhongyi said confidently:

"My brother-in-law is a clerk in the six cases who can speak with the prefect."

He has already taken care of everything.

"The warden in charge of the death row cell is called Bao Ji. He took our money and said he would take two of our lives."

"News will arrive in the next few days."

"That would be best!"

Grandpa Mao clinked glasses with his son and then said:

"Those two beasts probably don't have much to rely on, do they?"

"His parents died, and he had only one brother. He never married."

Mao Zhongyi had already done his homework and could speak fluently without hesitation:

"Even if there are some cousins ​​in the family, they are all thousands of miles away. Who would care about such trivial matters?"

Grandpa Mao nodded in deep agreement, and just as he was about to speak, a commotion suddenly broke out in the courtyard.

"Tsk!"

Old Master Mao frowned as he was interrupted, and Mao Zhongyi put down his wine bowl, got up, and went out to yell and curse:

"So noisy..."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, Mao Zhongyi flew back like a cannonball!

"boom--"

Mao Zhongyi smashed a table and then slammed heavily against the wall!

It looks like a painting hanging there!

"puff--"

Mao Zhongyi hung on the wall for a full two seconds before slowly sliding to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood!

"My son—"

Grandpa Mao, holding his wine bowl, was shocked to see a burly man swaggering in through the door.

This burly man had broad shoulders, a wasp waist, long arms, a pointed face, and deep-set eyes, exuding a sinister aura.

He carried a halberd in his hand, with a five-colored gold and coin banner fluttering on the handle.

"Who...who are you?"

Mao Taigong, outwardly fierce but inwardly weak, demanded:

"How dare you trespass on private property and injure people without cause?"

"So you're Mao Taigong?"

A burly man with a pointed chin stepped forward and grabbed Mao Taigong by the collar:

"In the martial arts world, everyone calls me 'The Sick Tyrant'!"

"Back when the master was traveling the martial arts world, he became sworn brothers with Xie Zhen and Xie Bao at first sight!"

"You old bird, have you got some nerve? Trying to frame my brother?"

"Sir, spare my life!"

Grandpa Mao cried at that moment:

I only falsely accused Jie Zhen and Jie Bao of being strongmen, who knew they really were strongmen...

A burly man with a tumor on his head, resembling a unicorn, lifted Mao Zhongyi up in one swift motion.

"Brother, why waste words on a dying man?"

"No--"

Grandpa Mao's tears flowed freely:

"Sir, spare my life!"

"I'm willing to pay one hundred taels of gold to save my dog's life!"
