Li Kui from "Water Margin"

1

In "Water Margin", Li Kui is a child who will never mature.

He is direct in his words and actions, never secretive, and pays attention to directness.

Li Kui was born in Baizhang Village, Yishui County, Yizhou, and his social relationship is that he has a mother and an older brother.

Although the living conditions are not very good, the mother's child is a treasure, and the iron cow baby is the mother's heart.

The villagers knew earlier than Li Kui’s mother that he had a talent for causing trouble and fighting. Finally one day, an unlucky guy died at the hands of Li Kui.

Li Kui fled to Jiangzhou and became a prison chief under the warden Dai Zong. Li Kui can use axes and guns, and the warden appreciates him for this.

Li Kui loves to drink. When he is drunk, he will beat people randomly, and the ones he beats are his colleagues. The warden is very loyal, and he will take all the blame.

One day, Song Jiang also came to Jiangzhou. Because he killed his wife, he was sent to labor camp here.

The warden and Song Jiang hit it off and were having a heart-to-heart talk in a restaurant. Hearing the noise outside, the warden smiled apologetically and said, "It's my subordinate Li Kui. I asked him to come up."

Song Jiang was surprised when he saw the black Li Kui standing in front of him and said: "My name is Song Jiang. I thought I was already very dark, but I didn't expect you to be darker than me. Let's make friends."

Li Kui couldn't believe his eyes. This man standing in front of him The short black man turned out to be his idol Song Jiang.

Song Jiang asked Li Kui gently: "Why were you making a fuss just now?"

Li Kui said: "There are still ten taels of silver left for gambling, and they won't lend it to me..."

Song Jiang quickly took out ten taels of silver from his bag and handed it to Li Kui and said: "Brother, Jianghu is here to help. There is no need to return it."

Li Kui felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but secretly swear: No matter if it is possible or not, Reprint, I will only listen to Song Jiang’s words from now on!

Song Jiang finally took the position of deputy leader of Liangshan.

The big leader Chao Gai knew that Song Jiang was a filial man, so he took his old father in, and the village was peaceful.

Seeing Song Jiang's cheerful look, Li Kui suddenly thought that he also had a mother in his hometown. Since he committed murder and absconded, he has not been back for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, he burst into tears: "I miss my mother too!"

Everyone doesn't know that Li Kui's mother is still alive. The rules of the world, if you refuse to tell I won't ask.

Chao Gai said: "Can't it be enough if I send a few people to go with you to pick up your mother? Why are you crying?"

Song Jiang said: "No, no, no, The Li brothers are not good-natured, so it will be a mistake to go back to their hometown. The case you committed before has not been settled. If you go back now, it is hard to tell what will happen."

Song Jiang knew Li Kui very well. He was loyal and capable of fighting. He was like a robot without a remote control, so easy to use.

It would be a pity for such a useful robot to break if it is out of sight. So Song Jiang advised him sincerely.

Li Kui is a greedy child who won’t eat candy even a minute later when he sees it. He actually started yelling at Song Jiang: "You can do it, why can't I?!"

"Okay, okay." Song Jiang also had a dark look on his face, "Since you are going, promise me three things. Chapter 1 First, don’t drink on the way there. Second, keep a low profile. Third, don’t bring your ax with you." Li Kui immediately laughed, packed up and left. Even though he said he didn't have an axe, he still brought two knives with him.

Walking around the world without weapons is probably similar to modern people going out without mobile phones.

Li Kui hit the road happily. He had forgotten that he was a criminal.

Zhu Gui runs a hotel at the foot of Liangshan Mountain.

He is not an ordinary hotel owner. His true identity is the director of the Liangshan Intelligence Department and the director of the reception office. No one who is a rich man or a big shot can escape his eyes.

Zhu Gui's nickname is "Dryland Hulu", which means crocodile on land.

He has received three leaders: Wang Lun, Chao Gai, and Song Jiang, and he can be regarded as highly qualified. But the strange thing is that as Liangshan gradually grows, his ranking becomes lower and lower.

When the ferocious crocodile landed on the shore, it was a bit difficult to use its methods. A crocodile is a crocodile after all, and Zhu Gui's intelligence expertise is still top-notch.

Moreover, he and Li Kui are from the same hometown.

Song Jiang found Zhu Gui and politely asked him to complete a task: follow Li Kui and if Li Kui gets into trouble, send a message for support as soon as possible.

Zhu Gui felt a little excited: The leader assigned me such a difficult task, and I successfully completed it. Maybe I will be promoted.

But Zhu Gui also knew that Li Kui had a bad temper and could explode at any time. Everyone usually avoided him. When working with people with such low emotional intelligence, I can only do my best.

Zhu Gui saw Li Kui outside the west gate of Yizhou City. He was looking at his wanted notice in the crowd, and there were official officers wandering around not far away.

Zhu Gui reacted quickly. He rushed up to hug Li Kui and shouted, "Brother Zhang, why are you here?" He quickly dragged Li Kui away.

Li Kui didn’t understand that this was called “hiding the truth from the sky” and did not thank Zhu Gui for his life-saving grace. Being upright, he didn't realize the consequences of just joining in the fun.

If you think this is life-saving, but he doesn’t, then he won’t thank you.

Zhu Gui could only smile bitterly, not out of gratitude. This person is so stupid, who knows what trouble will happen next...

Soon, trouble will come. . Li Kui decided to let go of drinking.

Zhu Gui did not persuade. He didn't even listen to what his idol Song Jiang said, let alone his own words.

After drinking until dawn the next day, Li Kui finally planned to go home.

Zhu Gui said: "Take the main road and not the small roads. There are tigers and robbers on the small roads."

Li Kui laughed: How can I be afraid of robbers? I am a robber! As for the tiger, who is afraid of who?

Li Kui only left Zhu Gui with a handsome back.

Li Kui was walking in the woods in the new autumn, chasing rabbits and looking at the scenery, happily showing his back molars. Suddenly a robber jumped out, holding a pair of axes in his hands.

Li Kui looked at this person and asked: "Who the hell are you?"

The robber almost said: That's the right answer, plus ten points! But he quickly put on a fierce look and shouted: "Grandpa, I am the Black Tornado Li Kui!"

Li Kui was furious: "You bastard! You dare to infringe on my patent rights. See if I can't kill you." You!"

He knocked it over easily, grabbed the ax and chopped it down.

The robber had an instant inspiration and told a lie as high as a Supreme Treasure: "I will spare someone under the sword! I have a ninety-year-old mother at home!"

Li Kui seemed to have been hit by something. Hit. He slowly put down his ax and said, "What's going on?"

"Actually, my name is Li Gui, and my mother is still waiting for me to go back and make soup..."

Li Kui said: "You have ruined my image, so I won't let you go. But raising a mother is a very noble thing, and noble people should not die. I'll give you ten taels of silver and change your job in the future. You're welcome. Please call me Lei Feng."< /p>

So Li Gui disappeared into the woods with disbelief.

Li Kui felt thirsty and hungry while walking on the road. He didn't have the habit of bringing dry food, but this place was deserted.

Two thatched huts were revealed in the distance. He ran over happily and broke into the house without saying hello.

A woman with makeup and makeup came out. Li Kui said: "Want to make pocket money? You can make enough money by cooking for me."

The woman looked at him and thought to herself: With such a low appearance, I am not qualified to cook for you. ? Then I thought: This person looks so fierce. Will he hit me if he doesn’t cook? Why hasn’t this damn man come back yet?

The woman thought about it and had no choice but to cook. Li Kui also went to the natural toilet on the back mountain.

Li Kui saw that Li Gui actually walked into this thatched house and seemed to be very familiar with the woman. He followed secretly.

Li Gui said: "My dear, I was really unlucky today. I encountered a real black whirlwind and was almost beaten to death. Fortunately, I told a lie and this fool was fooled so I could come back to see you."

"My dear, please keep your voice down. A big black man has come to our house. Could he be the black whirlwind you mentioned?" There was a hint of murderous intent in the woman's eyes, "If so, we can Put some anesthetic in his food, kill him, take his money to do business in the county, and reach the peak of his life!"

Li Kui rushed into the room without hesitation, raised his knife and cut off Li Kui. Ghost's head, the woman took the opportunity to slip away like a rabbit.

Li Kui retrieved his ten taels of silver, searched Li Gui's house again, stuffed all the valuables into his package, and started eating.

Li Kui, who loves nothing but meat, feels very uncomfortable eating white rice.

Suddenly he thought of something and jumped up happily: "What an idiot! Isn't there ready-made meat?"

He pulled out his knife and cut Li Gui's leg Get two pieces of meat, wash them with some water, and put some charcoal in the stove to burn them. He cooked and ate at the same time. When he was full, he dragged Li Gui's body under the house, set a fire, picked up the simple knife, and threw himself into the mountain road.

Li Kui must believe in "the equality of all living beings". Both animals and people have the same right to be eaten.

Li Kui walked into the house he had not entered for a long time and saw his mother, who was blind and chanting Buddha's name on the bed.

Hearing that Baby Tieniu was back, Li Kuiniang happily asked questions. Not knowing which switch was triggered, she began to complain: "Your eldest brother is incompetent. All he feeds me every day is vegetables and white rice. I have never eaten shark's fin yet."

Although maternal love is always a She was disappointed, but it seemed like her eldest son Li Da had been raising her for so many years.

When Li Kui was drinking and eating meat outside, he didn't seem to think of his mother.

Li Kui said sincerely: "Tieniu is now prosperous, and I will take you to enjoy the blessings."

Mother Li was very excited: I knew this child would have this day! He is just better than his brother.

Li Kui was still urging his mother to get on the road quickly and leave his brother Li Da alone.

While the family drama was taking place, Li Da walked in carrying a can of food. When he raised his eyes and saw this demon king appearing in front of him, he immediately became furious.

In Li Da's eyes, Li Kui has been a problem child since he was a child. Getting into trouble and getting into fights didn't end well.

He walked away from the murder case, which often caused him to be interrogated by the government. He couldn't eat chicken when weasels were there. Those days in jail were so uncomfortable. If you behave honestly, who will you offend?

Li Da scolded me when he came up: "You bastard! What are you doing back here!"

Li Kuiniang quickly smoothed things over: "Tieniu has become an official now, and he has come to pick me up to enjoy the blessings. ” There was great pride in his words.

Li Da said angrily: "Mother! Why do you believe him so much?! He is now a murderer wanted nationwide!"

Li Kui then laughed and said: "Brother Don't be angry, I'll take you to Liangshan together to enjoy the happiness."

Li Da was so angry and angry that he couldn't beat him, so he left the rice can and left.

When Li Kui saw his brother leaving, he suddenly thought of something.

"Li Da has attached great importance to money since he was a child. This time he knew that my first head was worth three thousand guan, so he would definitely go to report to the officials to catch me." Li Kui put a tablet of Li Da on the bed. Dayin, who had never owned it, muttered, "My brother will definitely drool, so he will not want to chase me again."

Li Kuiniang did not speak. I don't know if she wanted to shed tears after knowing the truth, or if she was worried about the two brothers who didn't speak the same language.

Li Kui carried his mother on his back and once again plunged into the secluded path in the mountains.

When Li Kui carried his mother to Yiling, it was already dark. Seeing no one around, Li Kui knew that he had to cross this ridge before someone could stay and fill his stomach.

The weather was very good that day, the stars were bright and the moon was bright, and Li Kui carried his mother step by step up the mountain.

Mother Li lay on Li Kui's back, feeling her son's strong support and enjoying the rare family bond.

Li Kui’s mother said: “Tieniu, my mother is very thirsty. Please go find some water to drink.” In fact, Li Kui was also so thirsty that she was almost smoking.

Li Kui placed his mother on a big bluestone beside the pine tree, stuck a simple knife on the side, and said to her, "Sit patiently while I go find some water for you to eat."

The late night, the mountains, the big bluestone, the simple knife, the blind mother, all these constitute a dark and gloomy picture.

Li Kui himself was accustomed to using swords and guns, and he actually thought that his blind mother could use it as freely as he did even if she encountered a situation.

He was a bit overly optimistic.

Li Kui walked a long way to find water, but there was no container for water. He walked further and found an incense burner in a temple.

Li Kui washed the incense burner, filled half of the incense burner water, and walked towards his mother holding it in both hands.

Li Kui did all this seriously, just like he has always been so patient. No matter how fierce a person is, he and his mother will always have a constant relationship and attachment.

When I walked to the big blue stone, my mother was missing from the stone, and the simple knife was still stuck there. Li Kui panicked, threw away the hard-earned water and looked around.

After walking less than thirty steps, I saw a pool of blood on the grass. When Li Kui saw it, he became more and more confused and took advantage of the blood stains to find him. I found a large cave entrance and saw two tiger cubs licking a human leg.

My mother, who had only been reunited with her son for a short time, had already been killed!

Li Kui was a little confused, and then an unknown fire arose.

Li Kui thought to himself: "I came back from Liangshanpo, and I came here to fetch him especially for my mother. I went through a lot of hardships and carried him here, but you ate him. That bird and insect dragged this man The legs are not my mother’s, but who’s?”

The subtext of this passage is: I came to pick up my mother, and she was about to be consummated, but unexpectedly a tiger ate her on the way. The evidence is conclusive, it’s my mother’s leg, Tiger, you bastard is my enemy.

With intense emotion and unwilling anger, Li Kui went straight to the tiger's den and killed the four tigers, his mother and his son.

After the killing, he was so tired that he fell asleep. There wasn’t even time to grieve.

It looks like something is wrong with the tiger.

In fact, it was Li Kui who was wrong. It's his way of doing things without considering the consequences that's wrong.

Li Kui did not know that a person's way of thinking and behavioral habits can cause unpredictable consequences. Because of his self-righteousness, my mother died just because she wanted a drink of water. This result is the last card to fall in the domino effect so far.

If Li Kui could reflect, he would definitely regret that he should not have listened to Song Jiang's warnings and Zhu Gui's suggestions. He should not have angered his brother, should not have panicked and chosen a path, and the last thing he should not have been, was to leave his blind mother here alone. In the mountains. Breaking a contract midway is a breach of trust, not listening to others is a monopoly, despising your brother is an ungratefulness, and abandoning your mother is a wrong decision.

This ending is too tragic after all.

The next day, Li Kui buried his mother's body and cried loudly.

Shi Naian gave Li Kui a five-star praise because of this tragic incident, saying that he was filial. Forgive me, but I have to say something foul: "I'll be filial to you.

”

Mencius once said: “The most important thing for a filial son is that of relatives.” "The low-level filial piety is to provide food and clothing, and the high-level filial piety is to respect and care for the spiritual world of the elderly. Li Kui did not achieve these two points.

Li Kui never contacted his brother until his death. He He only liked to listen to his idol Song Jiang's orders, eat, drink, and kill happily.

Later, Song Jiang was recruited by the court, and everyone who followed him got a share of the pie. After becoming an official, Jiuquan's mother should be very happy, even though the price was too high.

When Song Jiang finally drank the poisonous wine, he also drank it to the unsuspecting Li Kui. Their tombstones are connected together. I don’t know if Li Kui visited his mother under the ground.
