Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu looked at Du Jia quickly but found that he didn't recognize him. Ruan Xiaoqi briefly explained Du Jia's origin and the reason for coming here. Only then did the two realize that after laughing, they sat down and started eating and drinking. The two were already hungry and chewed hard without hesitation.

Du Jia asked casually: "Where did the second and fifth brothers go before?"

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu looked at each other, hesitating, and did not answer immediately. Ruan Xiaoqi said impatiently: "Two brothers, Jia Geer is young, but he is a real hero. What should I hide? It's not a heroic behavior. What's wrong with saying it."

Ruan Xiaoer was a little embarrassed when his younger brother said it, so he told the whole story. It turned out that as Du Jia had guessed, they were lobbying by Wu Yong to help Chao Gaizhi take the birthday gift. The two of them had sent Wu Yong away, and then agreed to meet at Chao Gai's house in a few days.

Of course, Du Jia did not remind the other party that he must pay attention to the fact that Bai Sheng was caught after being discovered - he has not seen Chao Gai and others yet, and to some extent, if the government had not discovered them, they would not have gone to Liangshan, and there would be no follow-ups. Moreover, he vaguely felt that it would be better not to change the original various things condescendingly as an outsider who was familiar with the development of the plot of Water Margin, otherwise it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and it would be bad if it was completely beyond his control.

After chatting for a while, Du Jia said, "Xiaosheng has long heard of the reputation of the three Ruan brothers. When he saw him today, he was indeed worthy of his reputation. He comforted his life. Since some of them are unwilling to join our small village, how about we get drunk together tonight? Let's get up tomorrow and do their own things. Anyway, the roads of the rivers and lakes are far away, and the mountains and rivers are not turned around, so there will always be another day to meet again."

The three brothers of the Ruan family felt the heroic spirit in Du Jia's words and all agreed happily, so they asked the owner to prepare another twenty kilograms of raw and cooked beef, a jar of treasured old wine, and two roast chickens. They found a friend to help bring it to Ruan Xiaoer's house.

It turned out that the three brothers of the Ruan family were only Ruan Xiaoer married, and then his wife packed the wine and meat. Du Jia specifically asked his sister-in-law to bring a portion for Ruan's mother to eat. As a modern education, he was not as good as the big men of this era. He spent all his time on wine and food every day, but he never didn't even have a hot meal. His behavior immediately made Ruan Xiaoer's wife feel good about him and thanked him.

Since Du Jia had paid a full three taels of snow-shaped silver this time, the wine brought by the store was not the ordinary old wine I drank before, but the treasured aged wine. It tasted very good and had great momentum. Du Jia could no longer be drunk like before. During the meal, he intended to let the three brothers of the Ruan family reveal the heroes in their hearts. The atmosphere was naturally very good. After a while, he got drunk and fell asleep directly on the table.

Ruan Xiaoer shouted "Brother Jia" a few times, but after seeing Du Jia ignored him, he gave the two brothers a wink, and the three of them walked out of the house gently.

Ruan Xiaoqi said dissatisfiedly as soon as he went out: "Second brother, fifth brother, why do you want to get Jia Geer drunk? Although he has little experience in his first world, he is a real hero and is generous and righteous. Wouldn't it be ridiculous for us to play with such tricks?"

Ruan Xiaoer also felt ashamed: "I didn't expect that Brother Jia and we met by chance. He trusted us so much, and fell drunk with us. It seems that I was thinking too much, but King Chao and Mr. Wu have a lot to do with each other, so I'm really worried about leaking the news."

Ruan Xiaowu also said, "Qilang, don't be angry. We are just testing him, and there is no malice. Now you want to do what? We have promised Mr. Wu to join the gang, and we can't quit halfway. Wouldn't it make the heroes in the martial arts world laugh at me even more, saying that our brothers are people who have no faith."

Ruan Xiaoqi is worthy of being a living Yan Luo, and said anxiously: "Brother Jia first helped our village a lot, and then kindly invited us to go up the mountain - his words were extremely respectful, and we also planned to deal with him. This made me feel sorry for him no matter what. What will happen to me in the future? No, I will definitely not be able to do this."

After the three brothers had arguing, Ruan Xiaowu came out to smooth things over and said, "Second brother, seventh brother, don't argue for the first time. I don't think so. We will go to Mr. Wu's side, and Brother Jia is a hero, and he is sincere to us, and it is difficult to refuse. So I will go to King Chao and I. Seventh brother will go to the mountain to help Brother Jia and others on behalf of us. This is a way out. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi both felt right when they heard this, so they returned to the house and said nothing all night. After everyone woke up the next day, Ruan Xiaoqi told Du Jia about this. Du Jia couldn't help but be overjoyed. The thing that he thought was hopeless had a turnaround. It was like losing a thousand yuan and finally picking up five hundred yuan.

Especially if you are willing to go, Ruan Xiaoqi, who is his favorite. Such a straightforward and generous man doesn’t need much effort to interact with him. If you treat him well, he will naturally be nice to you.

After the matter was settled, the four of them were all happy. After buying wine and food for a day, Ruan Xiaoqi followed Du Jia to the water of Liangshan, while Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu went straight to Chaojiazhuang. Before leaving, Du Jia secretly left a ingot of twenty-six silver for Ruan Xiaoer's wife to let her live a good life and take care of my mother. The second sister-in-law of the Ruan family naturally thanked her deeply, and Ruan Xiaoqi was secretly convinced in her eyes, and she felt that Du Jia was a kind and righteous person and worthy of her own follow.

Before going up the mountain, Du Jia asked Ruan Xiaoqi to help salvage the Cang Ding himself. When he was drinking yesterday, he also learned about the origin of the names of the three Ruan brothers. It turned out that the three brothers did not have a big name back then. Once, Ruan's father fell ill and found a doctor to prescribe a few medicines. However, the scales of a small gray catfish called "Milt Diamond" must be used to refer to the scales of the fish, and the bigger the fish, the better the effect.

This kind of mud is drilled in the water, but it is very cunning by nature and it will be a big deal. It also likes to drill into the deepest mud. It is almost impossible to catch it by fishing or using the traditional method of netting. Therefore, it is impossible to buy it on the market, so it can only be relied on people with high water to touch it.

It was the coldest winter of the year. After hearing the old doctor's words, the three brothers of the Ruan family went out quietly. At night, they all came back with a slight amount. Everyone brought a mud and dripped back. After weighing the scale, the boss brought back two taels, the second one was five taels, and the seventh one was seven taels.

The old doctor was also very happy when he was amazed, so he used the seven-liang fish as medicine to take away the other two fish as consultation and medicine. Mr. Ruan recovered quickly after taking the medicine. He sighed and simply named his three sons, just the same weight as the mud they caught. This gave the names of the brothers Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqisan. From this, we can also see that although Ruan Xiaoqi is ranked third, the water quality is the best.
