In the Water Margin, why did you go to Zhujiazhuang to steal chickens and announce the dawn?

Because a chicken caused a big war, and it was full of twists and turns, causing heavy casualties. This kind of thing that ordinary people can't imagine has become interesting in the rhyme of Water Margin, and I have to admire the author's whimsy and clever use of pens.

So, why did Fan Shi steal this chicken? In fact, it is not as simple as taking advantage of small things, but contains many tortuous stories.

First, three people moved to Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong, and walked more than one hundred miles that day. They were exhausted and it was already dark when they passed the Zhujiazhuang Hotel. At that time, the store was about to close, saying, you came too late, and there was nothing to eat in the store, only an altar of wine and a little leftovers. It's time to move their own food and cook, and the three of them are drinking wine with that leftovers.

It seems that the customs are different everywhere. I've never seen a guest cook by himself. However, this is the rule of Zhujiazhuang Hotel, and Yang Xiong can only do as the Romans do.

Secondly, Shi Qian didn't steal the chicken on purpose. He went to the backyard to relieve himself and happened to see a big cock in the cage. As I said before, the rice was cooked at one time, but there was no food (only a plate of cooked food was left). Thinking that his two brothers had to drink without eating, he had a brainwave, took the chicken out of the cage, killed it and cooked it.

It can be seen that this move is to inadvertently see that a rooster has nothing to eat, and it has the idea of stealing chickens. In other words, he didn't have any premeditation and preparation, it was a temporary idea under special circumstances. Obviously, if the store provides appetizers, he can't steal chickens.

In addition, when the store found the chicken stolen, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu immediately apologized and offered compensation. But the store still insists that this is the rooster that announces the dawn in the store, and you can't even pay twelve taels of silver. He wants nothing but chicken. This is obviously an unreasonable request. First, a chicken is not worth twelve taels of silver anyway. Second, seeing that the chicken has been finished, where do you ask the guests to get the chicken? It is purely rational and does not make people make a mountain out of a molehill.

Finally, because the store insisted, Shi Xiu, desperate Saburo, was annoyed at first. Shi Xiu said, don't push your nose on your face. What can I do without compensation? The shopkeeper threatened that you wouldn't see this place. This is Zhujiazhuang. Be careful to arrest you as a Liangshan thief. This sentence made Shi Xiu fly into a rage, because the three of them were going to Liangshan. Shi Xiu said, I am a Liangshan hero. Dare you arrest me? Yang Xiong aside also angry, and said, kindly compensate you money, you haven't finished, what do you want?

A group of strong men were immediately called to the shop, and they were beaten away by Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu. Shi Xiu, as a lamb, simply set the house on fire. As a result, on the way to escape, Shi Qian was caught by people in Zhujiazhuang.
