As night fell and the stars dotted the dark water, the group returned to the boat moored on the shore. The boat swayed slightly, and the moonlight sprinkled on the water, reflecting a peaceful and mysterious atmosphere.

Everyone gathered on the deck, greeted each other, and focused their attention on the huge insect corpse. There were discussions one after another, everyone was expressing their own opinions, and Ye Chun's two children were also watching the fun.

When Wang Li came over holding the weak little tiger, everyone's eyes were focused again. Some people persuaded Wang Li to give up the little tiger, but Wang Li shook his head firmly.

Wang Li ordered: "Xiao Qi, the navy brothers should work harder and take turns to rest. We will set off tonight."

"Okay brother!"

"By the way, let's catch some crucian carp tomorrow and make crucian carp soup for Aunt Li."

Ruan Xiaoqi wiped his saliva and said, "Brother, do we not need to drink millet porridge?"

Wang Li rolled his eyes at him and said, "You have to drink it. The crucian carp soup is made for Aunt Li. It's good for her eyes."

"Well, curing the disease is important!" Ruan Xiaoqi called the navy to row the boat dejectedly.

As the night deepened, everyone stopped talking and began to take turns to rest. Even Li Kui wrapped in a quilt and lay on the deck soundly asleep. The cabins were reserved for women, children and the wounded.

After Wang Li sent Hua Baoyan into the hold and came out, he and Hong Qi divided the work. One of them held Xiao Biao and let it watch over him, while the other began to peel off the skin of the big insect.

Hong Qi was very skilled and in a few strokes he completely peeled off the tiger skin along the wound, revealing the tender tiger meat inside. Wang Li was busy overnight, pickling the tiger meat to ensure that this delicacy would not be wasted.

Under the moonlight, Wang Li's figure looked particularly tall. He handled the tiger bones and meat carefully, and every movement revealed his awe for nature and respect for food.

Hong Qi sat quietly aside, watching Wang Li's busy back, feeling an inexplicable admiration in his heart.

The little tiger was lying next to Hong Qi, staring at Wang Li quietly. Its eyelids were drooping but it refused to sleep. Wang Li knew it was tired, having just fought with two tiger cubs and was injured. Wang Li threw it a few pieces of tiger meat, and the tiger gobbled them up.

After Wang Li finished cleaning up, he came over and stroked its hair, and it gradually fell asleep.

Wang Li said to Hong Qi: "Senior, please go back to the cabin and rest. Ye Chun can't sleep..."

"No, it's fine for me to sleep on this deck. That guy is a master shipbuilder, but he is the treasure of our village. He has no time to spare. Let him rest well by himself."

Wang Li stopped persuading him and lay down on the floor side by side with the old man and went to sleep. Xiao Biao leaned against them and fell asleep sweetly. Only Wang Li and Hong Qi made him feel closest.

The surrounding river surface seemed to sense the tranquility and harmony, and the waves became gentle. The moonlight sprinkled on the water, forming silver light bands, shrouding the entire ship in a mysterious and peaceful atmosphere.

…………

The next day, the ship arrived in Shandong. Zhao Yuannu regained her spirit and jumped up and down on the boat. She teased the two children from time to time, and then came over to tease Xiao Biaozi, but people would not let her get close. Xiao Biaozi only recognized Wang Li and Hong Qi.

She no longer teased Hua Baoyan and seemed to be everyone's happy pill.

Ruan Xiaoqi jumped directly into the water to catch crucian carp. Li Kui kept calling him "Brother Qi". Who said Li Kui was stupid?

Wang Li fried the tiger's liver and gave it to Li Kui's mother to eat, added crucian carp soup, and injected penicillin. After returning to Liangshan, An Daoquan was good at treating this disease. As for Ye Chun's wife, she just needed to go back for an operation to remove her gallbladder.

When they were about to reach the Liangshan waters, Wang Li discussed with Hua Baoyan: "Sister Baoyan, why don't we go back to Liangshan and stay there for a few days, and then send you home after your injuries are healed. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Hua Baoyan's eyes flashed with tenderness, and she seemed not to be in a hurry to return home, so she nodded and agreed, "Brother Li is right, I will follow your arrangements."

Wang Li was secretly delighted when he saw this. He seemed to have remembered something and found Mr. Hong Qi and said, "Senior, do you know Iron Arm Zhou Tong?"

Hong Qi thought for a while, as if recalling something, and then he said after a while: "Well, I know you. I have met you a few times. What's wrong with you, the great hero Zhou Tong from Shaanxi?"

Wang Li said, "Can you pull him over?"

Hong Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know where he is. If there is any news about him, I can persuade him and it should be possible."

Wang Li smiled and said, "I know about this. I heard that he set up a school in Sanjiao Temple on the north bank of Tanghe River in Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, to teach his disciples and teach martial arts."

Hong Qi didn't bother to figure out how Wang Li knew that. He stood up and said excitedly, "Really?"

"Well, that might be his hometown."

"Well, let's go check it out later."

"Okay," Wang Li didn't ask any more questions. Judging from the old man's reaction, it was not as simple as just a few encounters.

Zhou Tong was Yue Fei's master. He had many disciples, including Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Wu Song, Shi Wengong, etc., who were all registered disciples he accepted at different stages. It's just that these disciples didn't know each other. Wang Li planned to go there in person when he had time...

The ship quickly arrived at Liangshan waters and soon encountered a Liangshan patrol speedboat. The sailors on it knew that Wang Li had returned and immediately went back excitedly to report the news.

At this time, Xiao Biaozi's injuries have healed. One has to admire the recovery ability of animals.

When Wang Li returned to Liangshan Lake, it was dusk. From afar, Liangshan Lake was majestic and tall, like a giant beast lying between heaven and earth. Inside and outside the stronghold, flags were flying, drums and horns were blaring, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

The leaders had heard the news of Wang Li and his men's return, and they all led their men to welcome them at Jinshatan. The leader, Li Zhu, was dressed in a tight suit, carrying a long sword, looking majestic; Xu Guanzhong followed closely behind, with a calm and calm demeanor, eyes as bright as stars, and an extraordinary demeanor; Du Fu, Ruan Xiaoer and others also followed closely with their weapons, the Four Heroes of Huangmen Mountain, Li Jun and others were all there, but of course Wang Lun was not there.

When Wang Li and others approached the mountain stronghold, Li Zhu was the first to shout loudly: "Junior brother, is this trip going well?" His voice was loud and powerful, and it spread throughout the entire venue.

Upon hearing this, Wang Li stood up and jumped onto the shore. He quickly walked towards Li Zhu and the others, bowed and said, "Thanks to all the brothers, I have returned safely on this trip."

Li Zhu laughed loudly, patted Wang Li on the shoulder and said, "Great! Great! Inviting this great shipbuilder will surely make Liangshan more prosperous. Come on, let's go back to the stronghold and have a good drink! Your Dalang has prepared a banquet, but it's our new wine, "Liangshan Wine"!"

Wang Li was surprised when he heard this: "It was made so quickly? Great!"

Xu Guanzhong said: "We just distilled all the wine in Liangshan Mountain. The new wine has not come out yet."

Wang Li nodded, that's right, then he said to everyone: "Come, let me introduce to you, there is another senior here, he will be down soon."

Just as he finished speaking, a big cat jumped off the boat. This guy could swim. He went ashore, shook off the water on his body, ran in front of Wang Li, and stared at everyone vigilantly.

The leaders were stunned for a moment. Wang Li squatted down, stroked its head and said, "Little Biao, these are our people."

As Wang Li caressed it, its ferocious attacking look gradually became gentle.

Li Zhu came over in surprise and said, "Junior brother, what is this...?" Apparently everyone recognized what species this was, and those who didn't know also found out after hearing the introduction of those who knew.

Wang Li explained the origin of the tiger to everyone. Everyone was nervous. Isn't this thing known for its ferocity? How could it be so obedient in the hands of the village chief? Then they became curious and gathered around to watch.

The Liangshan soldiers were also discussing the matter. Some said, "The leader must be the son of destiny. He can even subdue this thing."

The others all agreed.

After everyone on the boat got off, Wang Li said, “Okay, I’ll introduce them to you.

This is Senior Hong Qi, and this is his disciple Black Whirlwind Li Kui. This is Ye Chun, and this is......"

After introducing Hua Baoyan and Zhao Yuannu, Wang Li mentioned Li Erniang. After everyone got to know each other, Wang Li announced: "Let's go to the Juyi Hall to have a drink!"

Upon hearing this, all the leaders cheered in unison and surrounded Wang Li and others to go up the mountain.

The village was bustling with activity. In the Juyi Hall, all the heroes gathered together, drinking and celebrating the safe return of Wang Li and his companions and welcoming the new brothers to join them.

During the dinner, Li Zhu, Xu Guanzhong and Wang Lun asked Wang Li about the details of his trip, and Wang Li told them what he saw and heard along the way. After hearing this, everyone sighed and advised Wang Li to go out less in the future, as he made everyone worry too much...

Wang Li didn't take it seriously. After three rounds of drinking, Wang Li raised his glass to toast everyone and said, "Brothers, you have all worked hard. Tomorrow we will arrange the new leader's position. Three days later we will start the revenge operation. I hope you brothers will bring glory to Liangshanpo. Cheers!"

Everyone responded in unison and drank it all in one gulp. Laughter and joy echoed inside and outside the village, the atmosphere reached a climax, and everyone was eager to try.
