Shi Xiu was very aggrieved!

He was a fair and honest man!

When he was in Jizhou, he would rather make a living by collecting firewood than relying on his martial arts to steal chickens and dogs, cut paths and rob roads.

When he helped Yang Xiong open a butcher shop, he handled more than a dozen taels of silver every day, and he never greeded for ink.

But this time, he was pitted by the time and took on the reputation of a chicken thief!

If he saw Shi Qian stealing chickens, he would definitely stop them, but Shi Qian cooked all the chickens before sharing them - what Shi Xiu said at this time would be too hypocritical, not a good man.

But the matter got big, everyone knew that the three of them stole chickens to eat, and they were in big trouble, and he and Yang Xiong became laughing stocks on Liangshan.

The owner of the village, Chao Gai, angrily accused them of stealing chickens and touching dogs under the banner of Liangshan, and wanted to behead them to show the public!

What a humiliation!

But he can't refute it, he can't even hate Chao Gai - what people say is reasonable!

Although Song Jiang dissuaded Chao Gai and left them behind, the contemptuous eyes of everyone made him uncomfortable.

On the rivers and lakes, the more people kill, rob and set fires, the more heroes and heroes they are, the more respected they are, but petty theft is the most despised.

Shi Xiu decided to make a great contribution, use the credit to wash away the shame of himself and Yang Xiong, and change everyone's opinion of himself.

Right now, he has a big merit in his hands, and he only needs to send it to Song Jiang.

He had already learned from the old Zhongli who had taken him in that the secret of the road in Zhujia Village - only the turn of the poplar tree was the way to live, otherwise it would be a dead end with a trap!

Shi Xiu has already seen the Pantuo Road in Zhujia Village, it is really easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and if you go around, you will get lost during the day.

Now he was in a hurry to go out and tell Song Jiang the news he had found.

But the outside is full of Zhujiazhuang's villagers, and he can't get out!

"Young man, don't worry, stay at my house for one night, and I'll send you down the mountain tomorrow." An old man comforted him.

"Thank you, old man!" He has been walking in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he is very shrewd, and it is easy to deceive the sympathy and trust of this old man in Zhujia Village, hide in his house, and also inquire about the secrets of Zhujia Village.

"It's just that I don't have a spare bed at home, so I can only grieve you to stay in the grass nest behind the house for a night."

"Jianghu people are already satisfied with having a tile to cover their heads," Shi Xiu suddenly heard dense and rapid footsteps outside, surrounding the front ......and back of the house.

His face changed dramatically, and he picked up his pole against the wall, and stood in the middle of the room, staring at the door.

Boom!

The gate was kicked off, and a young man like a black bear rushed in!

Shi Xiu used Bian as a spearman and stabbed him violently. The young man slashed with a knife, and the flat shoulder was broken into two pieces. Shi Xiu threw the half of the flat pole in his hand at the other party, and the young man hurriedly blocked it with his arms, and the flat pole happened to hit the back of his right hand, he screamed in pain, and the knife fell to the ground.

Shi Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to grab the knife, and suddenly a tall figure flashed out from behind the young man and kicked Shi Xiu, who was bending down to pick up the knife.

This kick is too fast! Shi Xiu was caught off guard, instinctively raised his hand to block, and an unstoppable huge force came from his arm, and his arm hit his chest!

This kick is too powerful! Shi Xiu couldn't stop staggering back a few steps, and finally lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The man rubbed his body like a sensitive big cat, grabbed Shi Xiu's right wrist with both hands, jumped lightly, closed his feet, pressed down horizontally, his left leg pressed Shi Xiu's neck, his right leg pressed his chest, and his left arm was firmly locked!

Shi Xiu's upper body couldn't move at all, and his feet rubbed in vain.

The bankers rushed in, and more than a dozen bright knives were facing Shi Xiu!

"Tie it up!" Captain Zhu Kang gave orders to his subordinates, then helped Zhu Long up, patted the dust on his clothes, and said with concern: "Is the big official injured?" ”

"Nope!" Zhu Long waved his hand and went over to check Zhu Hu's injury, but the back of his hand was swollen and was fine.

But Zhu Hu was very angry, angrily picked up the waist knife, pushed Zhuang Ke away, and slashed at Shi Xiu.

This time he's really chopping!

Zhu Long was startled, hurriedly hugged him, and persuaded: "Second brother can't make a mistake, this person is also a well-known hero, don't hurt his life!" ”

Shi Xiu is such a clever person, he has already guessed the identities of the two, but he didn't expect Zhu Long to praise him as a "good man", and he admired him very much in his words, and wondered in his heart: Does he know me?

Zhu Long finally persuaded Zhu Hu, walked to Shi Xiu, who was tied up like a zongzi, and took a look, sure enough, it was a strong man with strong martial arts, twenty-six or seventeen years old, different from ordinary Jianghu people with fierce eyes and stupid expressions, his eyes were clear, and there was a bit of intelligence between his eyebrows.

But Zhu Long knows that this is a real ruthless person! Don't take your life seriously at all!

When he robbed the Dharma Field of the Daimyo's Mansion to save Lu Junyi, he jumped down from the upstairs alone, rushed into the Dharma Field, pulled Lu Junyi up and ran, killing and wounding seventy or eighty people along the way.

In the entire Liangshan, if you dare to be so strong, only Li Kui did it when he robbed Song Jiang.

But Li Kui and Song Jiang are like brothers, like father and son! As for Shi Xiu, he didn't know Lu Junyi at all, just with the word "righteousness", he put life and death out of the way, and he had the style of an ancient chivalrous man!

But he is not a reckless man like Li Kui, Shi Xiu's shrewdness is terrifying.

Bold and careful, is the best interpretation of Shi Xiu, and he is clean and self-conscious, bright and fair, and is a rare talent.

Jin Shengxi commented that he was a middle-class character, but Zhu Long thought he was a first-class person. Because the two live in different eras, their moral standards and values are also different.

Zhu Long really wanted to subdue Shi Xiu, at least to get closer.

So he learned Song Jiang's style again, and bowed down respectfully: "In Zhujiazhuang Zhulong, Your Excellency is Brother Shi Xiu, 'Desperate Sanlang'?" ”

Shi Xiu also admired Zhu Long's skills, and saw that he was heroic and polite, and nodded politely: "It's just below, I don't know what the big official means?" Have we ever known each other before? ”

"I haven't met, but I've admired it for a long time! I have long heard that Shi Xiu, the 'desperate Saburo', is in the rivers and lakes, and would rather make a living by collecting firewood than seeking ill-gotten gains, which is really the sage's so-called 'poor and untouchable' husband! ”

"Shame! Ashamed! Shi Xiu's heart was hot, and he felt like a confidant! Thinking that Yang Xiong had also listened to the words of ** and wronged himself, he couldn't help but sigh: "Those who know me, I wish the officials also!"

Zhu Long untied the rope with his own hands, "Please don't be strange to my brother, go to the village to rest for the time being, and when the war is over, I will send my brother down the mountain!" ”

Shi Xiu bowed down and said: "The big officials are so gracious, the younger brother is grateful, please let the younger brother go down the mountain, explain the reason to Brother Song Jiang, and stop fighting." ”

"Haha! My brother is a gentleman, but others are not necessarily anymore! Zhu Long said with a smile: "Song Gongming is here, is it really for the sake of the times?" I don't think so! In fact, he came for the money and food of my village, and he Liangshan asked me to wish the village more than one day. Brother Shi Xiu gave Song Gongming a good excuse, but instead owed them a great favor, what a good calculation! ”

Shi Xiu's face changed, his mind turned a few times, and finally he was silent.

He suddenly bowed down and pleaded: "This old man is warm-hearted, but he has been deceived by his younger brother, please don't embarrass him!" ”

The old man Zhongli was also tied up by the villagers, and when he learned that he had harbored Liangshan's spies, he was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and when he saw Zhu Long walking in front of him, his knees were weak, and he knelt down, and he couldn't say anything to beg for mercy.

Zhu Long was not used to such an old man kneeling down to him, so he ordered the Zhuang guests to help him up, untie the rope, and said solemnly: "Old man, when this big war is coming, how can you contain strangers and reveal the secrets of Zhujia Village?" One is to miss your kindness, and the other is to have Brother Shixiu plead, I don't care, don't do it in the future! ”

"Grandpa, I have no choice but to deceive without intention, I hope I ask for forgiveness!" Shi Xiu deeply apologized to the old man and sincerely apologized.

He apologized to Zhu Hu again: "I am reckless, please forgive the second official!" ”

Jianghu people all eat soft and not hard, big things, as long as the other party is soft, they will be discouraged, Zhu Hu is no exception, haha smiled, hugged his fists and saluted back: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other!" ”

Everyone met and laughed, chatted while walking, and soon returned to Zhujiazhuang.
