My name is Du Qian, and I naturally love to use guns and sticks, because I am tall, so everyone calls me "touch the sky". This nickname sounded very charming, so I thought that my life would be like my nickname, touching the sky and soaring among the clouds.
I have a friend named Wang Lun, who loves to read and learn, and wants to take the road of the imperial examination, but he has repeatedly failed to get the first place, and he is very embarrassed, and he is often ridiculed and bullied by his fellow villagers. Once I stood up for him and accidentally injured someone, and we had to flee to the rivers and lakes and defect to the small whirlwind Chai Jin in Cangzhou.
After leaving Cangzhou, we traveled to many places, eating and sleeping in the open air, and prepared for hard work. On that day, we came to Yangsanbo, a water town in Jeju Province, which is more than 800 miles in circumference, with a city and water in the middle, but no one lives there. Wang Lun said, this is really a good place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, we might as well occupy the mountain here as the king and live a happy life for a few days.
I'm a little hesitant, isn't that an open rebellion? If the imperial army comes, no matter how good the terrain is, it won't be able to stop it!
Wang Lun said, now there are many bandits in various places, and we are not conspicuous, how can the imperial court care about us?
Wang Lun reads a lot and has always had ideas, I admire him very much and think he has a point. So we quietly erected a big banner in Liangshanbo, and soon gathered three to five hundred minions. then robbed houses, drank wine and ate meat, and really lived a happy life.
I like this place more and more.
I walked with Wang Lun to every corner of the mountain, I am familiar with the grass and stone here and the wind and rain of the four seasons, often, standing in the golden pavilion in the afterglow of the sunset, looking at the smoke and water in the distance, I really want to live here.
In order to better defend, we built three passes along the mountain and built a righteous hall. We also opened a small and inconspicuous hotel in Nanshan, as an outpost of the cottage, which can not only inquire about news, receive visitors, but also warn at any time; We controlled the surrounding 800 miles of water, and only when an arrow was fired from the hotel, would we send a small boat to pick up and drop off the guests.
Later, another "King Kong Song Wan in the Clouds" came to defect, and we let him sit in the third place. With the growing importance of the Yamashita Hotel, we promoted Zhu Gui, the small boss in charge of the hotel, to the fourth place - of course, he usually only socializes in the hotel.
It was an ordinary winter day after the snow, and Zhu Gui shot an arrow, which was a guest coming - at this time, we were completely unaware that this upcoming guest and what happened on this day not only changed our lives, but also changed the fate of Liangshanbo, which we had single-handedly established.
Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, came to defect with a letter from the Chai officials. The appearance of the head of the Lin Sect was very down, but he couldn't stop his own heroic spirit. Unexpectedly, Wang Lun refused to take in Lin Jiaotou, I am very strange, Chai Daguan is kind to us, how can we refuse the person he recommends, what if there is a request from others in the future?
After several twists and turns, Wang Lun finally reluctantly accepted Lin Jiaotou and let him sit in the fourth position, only before Zhu Gui.
Afterwards, he asked Wang Lun why he arranged it like this?
Wang Lun sighed and said to me, why don't you see what kind of character Lin Chong is? He is noble-born, well-informed, and strong in martial arts, how can you and I compare? If he wants to rob the master of the cottage in the future, you and I plus Song Wan and Zhu Gui will probably not be able to stop it! So I'm desperately trying to offend Chai Jin and don't want to keep him, but a few of you don't understand the stakes, so you're there to persuade you, alas! Now I can't say anything, I have to stay, but I must not reuse it, you remember, you must always be vigilant about him.
I have been friends with Wang Lun for many years, but I don't think much of his remarks. Lin Jiaotou is generous, approachable, and a good man, I like him very much, and I believe that he will not betray the cottage.
However, as it turned out, I was wrong.
Half a year later, Jeju Chaogai and other 7 heroes did a big case of "intercepting the birth gang", and after the incident, they were pursued by the official army and brought dozens of people to the cottage.
Seeing these wealthy, strong and fierce men, I also felt a strong crisis, when Wang Lun said again that "the temple is incompatible", I did not stand up to persuade, yes, I also hope that these people will leave quickly.
Who would have thought that at the farewell banquet, Lin Chong took the lead in killing Wang Lun, and those seven people pretended to persuade him, but they stopped me and others, and I watched Wang Lun's blood splash in the water pavilion, and his body was in a different place, only to feel his soul scattered.
Frightened, Song Wan and Zhu Gui and I hurriedly knelt in front of Lin Chong and said that we were willing to obey my brother's orders.
Liang Shanbo changed hands, and Chao Gai sat in the first place. Song Wan and Zhu Gui and I could only ask them to sit in the front and do it in turn.
Liangshanbo is still the same Liangshanbo as before, but it is no longer my Liangshanbo.
From giving orders to being driven by others, it is really heaven and earth. I miss the old days infinitely, and I regret that I shouldn't have taken Lin Chong in. However, I didn't dare to say anything, so I could only secretly go to worship Wang Lun in the middle of the night when there was no one, and ask him to forgive me for my greed for life and fear of death.
Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Liangshanbo is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more and more leaders, and of course our status continues to decline, but I am used to it. Later, Song Jiang came, and they began to fight openly and secretly, I watched from afar, and I laughed in my heart: You say that Wang Lun is narrow and can't tolerate people, how good are you**? Isn't it the same struggle for power?
Finally, Chao Gai died, Liang Shanbo changed hands again, and Song Jiang became the owner of the village - around the question of whether he should be the owner of the village, he and the people around him also acted enough, I was embarrassed to watch it offstage, it was really boring!
Of course, it doesn't matter who is the owner of the village, no one even remembers Wang Lun, what is I, the "Liangshan veteran"? I've always been silent, driven by others, and trying to complete every task.
Occasionally, I would have a glass of wine with Song Wan when no one was around, reminiscing about the good old days of Liangshan we shared, and of course, I couldn't help but secretly complain - he also had his loneliness and depression.
When recruiting An, Song Jiang sent an order to the public, saying that if there were those who were unwilling to go to the court, they could be dismissed by Yinliang. Song Wan secretly came to me to discuss: Why don't we also get some reward and leave?
I hurriedly said, what do you want? Didn't you hear Song Jiang say that we, the 108 people, are "in the sky, life and death"? Where do you see anyone leaving? We can't be the first birds, let's just take a look.
We followed everyone on a pilgrimage to Tokyo, and we were sent to conquer Liao, and although a lot of things happened in the middle, we were all back.
However, not long after returning to Beijing, Gongsun Sheng left first. Later, we were ordered to march south to Fangla, and Jin Dajian was left behind. I discussed with Song Wan that if there was another chance, when Song Jiang let us choose by ourselves, we would also leave.
I finally saw the cruelty of war. In the first battle of the attack on Runzhou, Song Wan and I had been charging together, and I saw him fall by an arrow and then die on his horse.
List of high-quality authors Yes, in the battlefield of thousands of troops, I don't even have a chance to save him.
We continued to march, conquering city after city and winning victory after victory, while my comrades around me fell one by one, most of whom had little friendship with me, but were still full of sentimentality. In Hangzhou, my only remaining friend Zhu Gui was infected with the plague and left behind, and it is estimated that he will die for life.
I was fortunate to be alive, and I was not injured or sick, and I continued with the army. Under Qingxi City, seeing that victory was in sight, I suddenly had a longing: Maybe, I can live to the end? Well, at that time, I must have found an opportunity to leave these people, return to the Liangshanbo I am familiar with, and then, find a place with a beautiful scenery to settle down, and live there leisurely for the rest of my life.
Yes, my dream didn't come true.
In the last charge to capture Qingxi, countless horses galloped towards me, and I had nowhere to escape, and I was trampled to the ground. Before I lost consciousness, I saw Wang Lun, Song Wan and Zhu Gui smiling at me, and they called me the nickname "Touch the Sky", but unfortunately, I couldn't touch the sky, and I couldn't touch the side of fate.
