Attack on Titan: My World

Chapter 297: The Three Ruan Heroes (3)

……

"The tomb of the three Ruan brothers corresponds to the [Heavenly Sword Star], [Heavenly Sin Star] and [Heavenly Defeat Star]."

The little witch knelt there devoutly ([God's Throne 1.44]), and Sasha read out the epitaph.

“It’s these three heroes.”

Looking at the [Three Heroes of the Ruan Family], Wang Lun sighed.

"Haha, these three are the ones who threw Gao Qiu, the [Old Deng], into the water."

Sasha had a good memory. Thinking that these three people were the ones who threw the young Gao Qiu into the sea, she smiled triumphantly.

……

"Second brother Ruan, are you home?"

[Shijie Village], a fishing village, has dozens of thatched houses, nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

A man with a feather fan and a long scarf hurried here and started shouting.

"Professor, what are you doing?"

A strong man appeared there and said respectfully to the visitor (Wu Yong, the wise man).

At this time, the class system came up with a reminder: The eight-foot-tall (about 1.8 meters tall), wearing a torn headscarf, an old dress, and barefoot, is [Ruan Xiaoer] among the [Three Heroes of the Ruan Family]. As a leader, he is a hero in everyone's heart. He was born in a humble family, but he never gave up. Here, the three of them ([Three Heroes of the Ruan Family]) had a strange fate with Gao Qiu. In fact, their family does have some origins with Gao Qiu's family. In the past, he was a fisherman; now, he is a hero among the Liangshan heroes. [Combat Power]:; [Defense]: null; [Moves]: [Jack], [Strong and Powerful], [Three Heroes of the Ruan Family] and [Devil King of Mixed Worlds], etc.

Seeing the prompt and looking at the barefoot man, Wang Lun didn't know what to say.

"Haha, of course I have something important to talk to you about."

Wu Yong waved his feather fan and spoke with a smile.

"Sir, is Zundu fake?"

Ruan Xiaoer learned the dialect from somewhere, but he actually started to be playful with Wu Yong.

"Haha, of course it's true."

Wu Yong laughed twice, then got serious and said very clearly: "I'm not going to make trouble with you. We really have a big thing going on here."

"Appreciate further details!"

Ruan Xiaoer became very serious again and spoke.

"The first order is a large order of carp from Wang Yuanwai's family at the foot of Liangshan Mountain. The second order..."

Wu Yong hesitated to speak.

"Alright alright."

Ruan Xiaoer picked up his canvas outside the door, called Wu Yongyong to get on his boat, and then rowed out to sea.

"canvas?"

Sasha asked with interest, for she had seen such canvas before.

"It is indeed canvas. What's wrong with that?"

Wang Lun was used to it and thought it was just an ordinary canvas.

"Can't you explain what this canvas is about?"

Sasha looked at the canvas in front of her and asked curiously again.

At that time, the country was in chaos, the people were living in misery, and the officials forced the people to rebel. All kinds of monsters came out, and chaos appeared in all time and space.

"Xiaowu, are you home?"

At this time, Ruan Xiaoer had already crossed a section of the sea, and he continued to ask the people in the thatched hut.

"At home, my brother."

A dark-skinned man jumped out of the thatched hut, picked up a harpoon and swam onto Ruan Xiaoer's boat.

"hello."

Wu Yong spoke to him with a smile, and there was no sense of strangeness at all, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.

"How do you do, sir?"

The man (Ruan Xiaowu) responded politely as he climbed onto the boat, then began to help row the boat.

"Big brother."

Ruan Xiaowu greeted Ruan Xiaoer.

"Xiaowu, let's go out to sea and catch some carp and send them to Mr. Wang's house."

Ruan Xiaoer instructed his brothers.

"Okay, the three of us brothers..."

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu heard the voice of their brother. The voice interrupted Ruan Xiaowu and jumped out of the water.

Then, a fish was forked and emerged from the water. Then, a man in ragged clothes emerged from the water and smiled at the three people in the boat.

"It's Xiao Qi."

Wu Yong bowed and seemed to be very familiar with the three Ruan brothers.

"Yes sir, haha."

Ruan Xiaoqi smiled innocently.

"How much fish do they need, sir?"

"About thirty or so."

Ruan Xiaoer and Wu Yong asked and answered each other.

"Okay, okay."

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu rowed the boat to a sea area farther away from the shore, dropped anchor and lowered the line, then dived into the sea with Ruan Xiaoqi.

In just a short while, they caught a lot of fish from the sea.

"As expected of the Three Heroes of the Ruan Clan!"

Wu Yong saw the fish on the boat and began to praise them.

"Is that enough?"

Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi climbed onto the boat. Ruan Xiaoer said to Wu Yong, while Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi tidied up the canvas and pulled up the anchor.

"That's enough, that's enough."

Wu Yong smiled and nodded.

“Although these three men are fishermen, they are indeed very powerful.”

Wang Lun looked at the fishing boats returning with full loads and praised the "Three Heroes of the Ruan Family".

“You are indeed people who can accomplish great things.”

Wu Yong also looked at the person in front of him and said while waving his fan.

"Haha."

The three Ruan brothers looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Well, now let's get down to business."

Wu Yong then told Ruan Shi Sanxiong about something bigger.

"Professor? This..."

After Wu Yong told this story, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi opened their mouths in surprise, while Ruan Xiaoer said in disbelief, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"Nowadays, there are disasters everywhere. It is not a peaceful day at all."

Wu Yong looked at the three people in front of him and said, "Look at you, all of you have dark skin, exposed to the sun and rain all day long; but now the officials of the court are all so fat, they are basically exploiting the people."

The three Ruan brothers looked at each other, all wearing tattered clothes, and were silenced by Wu Yong's words.

"Indeed."

Ruan Xiaoer looked at his tattered clothes and recalled the sad past.

……

"Mom, are you okay?"

In a shabby thatched house, Ruan Xiaoer looked at his seriously ill mother and asked worriedly.

"Mother, mother..."

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi shed sad tears and kept calling for their mother, but to no avail.

"Brother, what should I do?"

Looking at the bare thatched house, Ruan Xiaoqi asked anxiously.

"We are poor anyway, so why not..."

Ruan Xiaowu was determined to go all out and was suggesting something to his brother, but was interrupted.

"If you don't have money, you can borrow from me."

At this moment, a voice came from outside their door.

The three of them looked carefully and found that the man was the young man who was bullied by them that year, Gao Qiu.

Because of his study of the Four Books and Five Classics, he was recommended by Su Shi to work in the Taiwei Mansion.

Just as he was returning home, he came in following the crying and shouting.

"It's you!"

Ruan Xiaoer was surprised, as if it was really too unexpected.
