Shi Xiujia used to be the butcher of Jiankang House in Jinling (now Nanjing). Later, he went to the north with his uncle to sell horses. Unfortunately, his uncle died halfway and his business lost money. So Shi Xiu went to Jizhou (now Jixian County, Hebei Province, in fact, Jizhou, one of the sixteen states at that time, should be controlled by Liao, and it is still subject to water margin) to make a living by selling firewood as a handyman. Shi Xiu was born in Liangshan.
It can be said that it is relatively humble, equivalent to migrant workers who have left their homes to work in cities now, and can be regarded as the lowest working people at that time. Long-term suffering among ruffians has made Shi Xiu very mature and sophisticated. Although he is only 28 years old and has little education, Shi Xiu is experienced in dealing with people and has a high emotional intelligence, which is far beyond his age. This is even more obvious than his sworn brother, Yang Xiong, the warden and execution captain of Jizhou Prison.
Shi Xiu is smart and capable, with high martial arts. Liang Shanbo said that his fighting skill was no less than that of Sun Li, while Sun and Hu Dou were unbeaten for more than 30 rounds. In troubled times, such a man must be a savage hero, but in this seemingly peaceful and prosperous corrupt society at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, he could only struggle at the bottom. Of course, such a figure is not destined to be a fish in the pool forever, and there is always a chance to make him soar.
By chance, Shi Xiu met Yang Xiong. At that time, Yang Xiong had a dispute with several social idlers of Jizhou garrison Zhang Baohe. The reason is that Zhang Bao and his gang were not angry when they saw that Yang Xiong had won the bonus after executing the prisoner, and they deliberately went forward to provoke and rob the bonus. Uncle Shi arranged to break the bridge just to attract Shi Xiu to play. Otherwise, as the mayor of jizhou city Yang Xiong.
Zhang Bao, an acquaintance of the captain of the criminal police, a relative of the former mayor and the current mayor, is just an ordinary soldier and has no such bold reasons. Sure enough, Shi Xiu saw a rough road and helped. With Yang Xiong swaggering at that time, Shi Xiu should know his identity, which is also an opportunity for Shi Xiu. Yang Xiong's skill is not that high. Because Liangshan ranked thirty-two in the future, it was forced to "get nowhere" by two punks in Zhang Baohe. Thanks to Shi Xiu's hand, Zhang Bao and his gang were knocked down, otherwise Yang Xiong would lose his face. Shi Xiu's hand shook Dai Zhong and Yang Lin passing by. Dai zhong accepted Shi Xiu's kung fu and wanted to recruit Shi Xiu to Liangshan. So Dai and Yang took Shi Xiu to the bar for a drink. On the wine table, Dai Zhong advised Shi Xiu, bro, it's a waste to be a small migrant worker here. It's better to hang out in the Jianghu and have a happy life. Shi Xiu is quite sophisticated. Without a positive response, he said, "I only know these skills, and it is difficult to be rich and happy." . After watching a play, Dai Zong further persuaded him that the society is dark and the government is full of corrupt officials. One of my buddies is on the road now, voting for Song boss of Liangshan (actually, the boss of Liangshan was classical at that time, but Song Jiang was not classical in Dai Zhong's eyes). He is very popular there, drinks spicy food and earns a high salary. If he bleached it again, he might get a fairy. This is very explicit, and Shi Xiu can't understand each other's attraction. For Shi Xiu, being the bottom of society, there is nothing to lose. Going to the underworld is a good way. So I also put a test balloon, alas! Even if I want to go, I can't help it. Speaking of this, both sides are wise men, and Dai Zhong showed his identity, saying that this is no problem, and it is on me and my brother. The description of the Water Margin is wonderful, and the dialogue between Shi Xiu and Dai Zong vividly depicts the cunning of such a low-level figure as Shi Xiu. At the same time, it also laid the groundwork for Shi Xiu Shangliang Mountain in the future.
After Shi Xiu helped Yang Xiong, Yang Xiong was very grateful and made friends. He took his men back to his property, and then went to Shi Xiu for a drink to thank him. Knowing Yang Xiong's identity, Shi Xiu reported his family background and said that I had to lay down my life to help when I was on a bumpy road, so I was called desperate Saburo. Now I'm down and out, and I make a living by selling firewood. Yang Xiong saw that Shi Xiu was handsome, strong in martial arts and brave, and was willing to accept him as his brother, so he suggested becoming sworn brothers. Shi Xiu's status is low, since Yang Xiong said so, of course, there is no reason to disagree. For Shi Xiu, how to get rid of the life at the bottom of society was probably the most important thing at that time. Shuihu said, "Shi Xiu was overjoyed when he saw it, and said,' Dare not ask how expensive the festival is?' Yang Xiong said,' I am twenty-nine years old this year.' Shi Xiu said,' I'm 28 years old, so I'm invited to sit at the festival level and be worshipped as my brother by my younger brother.' "
Yang Xiong is a famous figure in jizhou city. Since Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong are sworn brothers, there is no reason to be migrant workers and sell firewood. It happened that Yang Xiong's father-in-law, Pan Gong, opened a butcher shop, and Shi Xiu's ancestors happened to be in this line, so Pan Gong made Shi Xiu the manager of the butcher shop, and Shi Xiu also lived in Yang Xiong's house. At that time, Shi Xiu's life was much better, and he gradually entered the ranks of the middle class, so the heart of taking refuge in Liangshan was much lighter.
Butcher manager
Shi Xiu took over Pan Gong's butcher shop and took care of it. Thanks to Shi Xiu's efforts, the butcher shop prospered, so Manager Shi got a bonus, so he took the bonus to make some new clothes. After all, manager Shi is now a middle class and can have petty bourgeoisie.
Just a few days later, I came back from a business trip in Shi Xiu and found the butcher shop clean and closed. Years of rough life at the bottom made Shi Xiu very sensitive. Shi Xiu guessed that Pan Gong and Yang Xiong didn't trust him and suspected that he was corrupt, so they sorted out the accounts and said goodbye to Pan. "Water Margin" said:
"Shi Xiu is a delicate person, there is no need to look at his belly. He thought to himself: As the saying goes,' You can't judge a book by its cover, flowers can't be gorgeous, and people can't judge a book by its cover'. Since my brother has gone out to be an official, regardless of family matters, my sister-in-law will definitely talk about me behind my back when she sees that I have made these clothes. If I don't come back in two days, someone will talk about it and think it's suspicion and doing nothing. I won't wait for his words to come out, so I'll quit and go back to my hometown to rest. Since ancient times, people have said,' Who needs a long-term mind?' Shi Xiu had driven the pigs out of the pigsty, but he went to the room to change his feet and hands, packed his parcels and luggage, carefully wrote a book to settle accounts, and came in from behind. Pan Gong has arranged some vegetarian food and drinks, and invited Shi Xiu to sit down for a drink. Pan Gongdao:' It's hard for uncle to come all the way, and it's hard to drive pigs himself.' Shi Xiu said,' Zhang Zhang, be polite. And received this clear account. If there is selfishness above, heaven and earth will be destroyed. "Pan Gongzheng:' Why did Uncle say that? There's nothing wrong with it. Shi Xiu said,' I have been away from home for five or seven years, and now I want to go home for a walk, so I paid my bill back specially. Quit my brother tonight, tomorrow morning will do. "
Shi Xiu's sensitivity is a kind of self-protection. Only by struggling at the bottom for many years and being bullied by powerful groups will this sensitivity be produced. Shi Xiu's words are decent, neither supercilious nor supercilious, which embodies the self-defense dignity of the people at the bottom. Seeing this passage, the master of Wuzhai couldn't help paying tribute to Shi Xiu. Although I am poor in Shi Xiu, I live with Yang Xiong and Pan Gong at present, but we are equal and I have my dignity. Shi Xiu alone is better than many heroes in Liangshan.
But this time Shi Xiu misunderstood. The butcher shop closed because Pan Qiaoyun wanted to do something for her ex-husband. Of course, it was actually Pan Qiaoyun who wanted to find an excuse to meet her lover, monk Pei Ruhai, privately. With Shi Xiu's experience and life experience, I can see at a glance that there is something fishy between Pan Qiaoyun and the sea monk.
Shi Xiu caught the rape.
The owner of Wuzhai believes that Yang Xiong's wife Pan Qiaoyun should be regarded as the first prostitute in the Water Margin. Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang really don't match, and because of the temptation of Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian cheated. I hooked up with a small white face, and Song's brother's coldness is very responsible. What's more, Shiva is only a mistress, and Brother Song didn't clear others' names. This Pan Qiaoyun is naturally horny. Yang Xiong is a completely normal man, and Pan Qiaoyun not only hooked up with monk Pei Ruhai as a traitor, but also molested Shi Xiu as a handsome guy on weekdays. It is true that Qiao Yun is a natural beauty to burn incense in Shunzhi, but she also needs coquettish to do it. Such a woman is obviously uneasy about her room and must be having an affair.
Shi Xiu soon saw through the relationship between Pan and Hai. But Shi Xiu was embarrassed, too. On the one hand, it is his sworn brother. On the other hand, after all, it is hard to say, and it also needs conclusive evidence. Back in Song Wu's time, he could only talk about his brother by innuendo, not to mention his half-brother. This matter became Shi Xiu's heart disease, and the sea monk was too bold. He always came to Qiao Yun 10 many times in January, and finally one day he was seen by Shi Xiu himself. Shi Xiu was very angry. He told Yang Xiong and suggested catching him. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiong got drunk in Qiao Yun, and Qiao Yun said that Shi Xiu had molested herself. In a rage, Yang Xiong kicked Shi Xiu out of the house and took over the butcher shop. Yang Xiong's reaction is very strange. At least Shi Xiu told Pan and Hai the details of adultery. Yang Xiong is also a leading cadre who has worked in the judicial system for many years. Can't you understand whether Shi Xiu is groundless? After all, I don't want to believe that the psychological factors of my beautiful wife having an affair have played a role. Judging from Yang Xiong's performance, he can't do kung fu, let alone use his head. Although he is now Shi Xiu's eldest brother, he really went to Liangshan, and his position was earned by Shi Xiu. Shi Xiu at Yang Xiong's reaction, just guess what's going on, word to sort out the accounts, leave away.
But Shi Xiu swallow not to descend this tone. On the other hand, he thinks Yang Xiong is not worth it. Obviously, he puts a cuckold on his head and gives it back to his wife to play with him, which is tantamount to selling money to people and helping them. One day, he will die at the hands of this wife. So Shi Xiu decided to solve the problem in his own way. Shi Xiu knew about Pan and Hai's affair, and naturally knew how the monk came to see him. So Shi Xiu first killed the scout Nuts, then drew a sea monk with the sound of Nuts' wooden fish, killed him, and then stripped the body and threw it on the road. Pan and Hai are so obsessed with sex. Now that Qiao Yun knows that Shi Xiu has seen through their affair, he can at least make lovers meet in another way. Maybe they didn't expect Shi Xiuhui to be so nosy at all. In fact, Shi Xiu introduced his personality from the beginning, and he would make moves when he saw the uneven road. Moreover, this uneven road is his sworn brother, and it is also related to his own grievances. So Shi Xiu's behavior is understandable. There is a lyric in the theme song of Water Margin TV series that has been sung for a period of time, and it is called "Do it when it is time". In fact, Shi Xiu is the only one who can really be so smart.
The bizarre death of the sea monk naturally caused a sensation in the whole city. Yang Xiong again silly also know that this is Shi Xiugan, also guess what Shi Xiu said is basically true. So Yang Xiong apologized to Shi Xiu and flew into a rage, saying that Lao Tzu was going to kill that slut. At this time, Shi Xiu dissuaded me, saying that you would kick me out after listening to your wife's story, and now you will kill your wife after listening to my story. You also work in the judicial system. How can you be so hasty? Do you have any proof? In case I talk nonsense, didn't you kill the wrong person again? So I suggested that Qiao Yun go to Cuiping Mountain to ask, and Yang Xiong adopted it. After the truth came out, at the instigation of Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong killed Qiao Yun and Yinger, the maid who helped her arrange adultery. Judging from this story, Shi Xiu has a lot of rough jokes and is a potential gangster.
Many friends criticized Shi Xiu for killing innocent people and being insidious. Master Wu Zhai has no intention of defending Shi Xiu, which is a stain on him. However, I want to point out that although Shi Xiu is indeed a little cruel, is there any other good way for Shi Xiu, who has been in a weak position and bullied by powerful groups, to clear his grievances? After losing his job and bearing the false accusation of "molesting his eldest sister-in-law", should Shi Xiu bear the burden of humiliation and suffer injustice silently? Considering that monks are not forbidden to commit adultery, according to the law of the Song Dynasty, beheading is required. If Shi Xiu is really insidious, some witnesses can be arranged to catch him together, so that Pan and Hai who commit adultery will still die, and Shi Xiu can also be whitewashed without breaking the law. But in this way, Yang Xiong's cuckold husband spread all over the city. Shi Xiu would never do such a thing. He would rather take responsibility for suicide. The master of Wuzhai thinks this is where he is aboveboard. Later, Yang Xiong killed Yinger and Qiao Yun for this. This cuckold husband was the biggest humiliation for Yang Xiong.
Only by killing all our customers can we save our reputation. From a modern point of view, this practice is indeed indiscriminate and cruel, but from the perspective of Shi Xiu, which was at the bottom at that time, it was logical. For him, his reputation and brotherly love between Shi and Yang are far higher than the lives of a pair of adulterers and adulterers. All he did was to help heaven, to help heaven. Again, do it when you have to.
Since they killed people, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu can't stay in Jizhou, of course. More importantly, if the incident happens, Qiao Yun will inevitably be made public, which will obviously humiliate Yang Xiong, so we must find a way out. So the front line worked. Shi Xiu said no problem. We can go to Liangshan. Dai zhong once patted his chest to ensure that he could be an introducer. At this time, there is a wonderful detail:
Yang Xiong said, "In that case, I'll pack up some travelling expenses and leave." "Shi Xiu said,' Brother, you are so tangled. If you are trapped in the city, how will you get out? There are some hair clips in the package, and some money for my brother and three or five people. That's enough. There is no need to mention it again. How to save trouble? This is going to happen soon. We can't put it off any longer, so we have to look behind the mountain. " "
This contrast, the gap between Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu is too obvious. Yang Xiong is too mother-in-law. At this time, he will go home to get the toll. And Shi Xiu's capable and clear thinking comes from the page. Such people are the ones who do great things.
Shangliangshan
While discussing with Shi Xiu about going to Liangshan, the thief guarded by Yang happened to pass by and witnessed the whole process. So I jumped out and said, you want to vote for Liangshan and take me with you. According to my conscience, Yang Heshi had to take them away at that time, or he would kill them. Otherwise, Yang Xiong's cuckoldry will be moved out, and once this move is reported to the authorities, they may not be able to leave. It is no problem to kill them while moving in Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu, but it is not difficult to escape, because they have acquired high flying skills while moving. With Shi Xiu ok, my mind flashed these calculations, so Shi Xiu said no problem, Liangshan is not much for you. But I didn't expect this time transfer to bring great trouble.
Shi Xiu went to Zhujiazhuang when he went to Liangshan, but he didn't change his mind when he moved. He stole the cock that announced the dawn from someone else's shop and ate it. There was no clock in the Song Dynasty, so this rooster that announced the dawn was very precious. It's like drinking16th century famous wine, causing big trouble. As a result, Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong fled to Liangshan.
Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong fled to Liangshan in this way, which was very embarrassing. The experience of this chicken thief and the misdeeds of lying about Liangshan's name in Zhujiazhuang almost made Classical kill them. Fortunately, Sung River saved Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong out of self-interest. Of course, there is also the meaning of mercy, because Classical tried to kill them, and Song Jiang saved them. It is self-evident which side he will stand on in the struggle between classicism and Song Dynasty. It is because of this disgraceful record that Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu did not have a high position in the early Liangshan period, and they were often sent out to get information. These errands will be done by small roles in the future. Song Jiangpa Shi Xiu's first task was to explore the road of Zhujiazhuang. In fact, the master of Wuzhai didn't understand why Shi Xiu was sent. It stands to reason that Shi Xiugang got into trouble in Zhujiazhuang, burned down the shop and killed people. Isn't it a joke to spy on such a familiar face? Unexpectedly, this arrangement of Song Jiang made Shi Xiu stand out. Shi Xiu not only successfully found out the mechanism of Pantuo Road from Li Zhong, but also helped Song Jiang break through the maze, showing his superior intelligence work ability. Soon Shi Xiu was defeated again and was willing to be captured by undercover Sun Li to work in Zhujiazhuang. This is also a big risk, because it is impossible to say that Shi Xiu will be killed in Zhujiazhuang. Shi Xiu made great contributions to the destruction of Zhujiazhuang, thus gaining a foothold in Liangshan.
Then every major action in Liangshan, Shi Xiu is almost always doing nothing. Even the classical city did not fall in the first battle. You know, Classical originally wanted to kill Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong, but at his most critical moment, he took Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong with him. On the one hand, it is because Classical's own cast is really poor, on the other hand, it also shows that Shi Xiu's efforts have been rewarded. Shi Xiu knew that he was from humble origins and had good martial arts, but he was not a top player among Liangshan heroes. He must work several times harder than others to succeed. But the most brilliant page in Shi Xiu is in Daming Mansion.
Damingfu
In World War I, Classical died unexpectedly, leaving a will that made Song Jiang feel uncomfortable. The man who killed Shi Wengong is the boss. In order to get rid of this last sentence, Sung River set a trap for Lu Junyi to be put into Daming Mansion by Wu Yong. Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong were sent to Daming Mansion to inquire about the situation. At that time, Lu Junyi had been assigned to Salmonella Island, but two policemen were bought by Coulee, who wanted to end up in Lu Junyi on the way. Although Yan Qing shot and killed two policemen in time and saved Lu Junyi, Lu Junyi was captured by the police who were chasing after him. At that time, Shi and Yang met Yan Qing and decided to go back to Liangshan with Yan Qing for help, while Shi Xiu continued to go to Daming House to pay attention to the development.
When Shi Xiu arrived at Daming Mansion, it was the time of execution. Because two policemen were killed, Liang Zhongshu was afraid of sleeping, and decided to immediately execute Lu Junyi on the spot. At the critical moment of Cai Fuju's knife execution, Shi Xiu made a decisive decision and robbed the gift alone. At that time, I was in a foreign land, alone, and had no chance of winning. Liangshan's instructions to Shi Xiu are just asking for information. If Shi Xiuyou hesitated for a moment, Lu Junyi would have fallen to the ground. In an instant, desperate Saburo made the only choice at that time, shouting "All Liangshan heroes are here" and drew his sword and pounced on the execution ground. Shi Xiu's courage and spirit of sacrifice are really admirable. What a bloody man! Every time I read this passage, the owner of Wu Zhai will have a strange feeling in his heart. It seems that deep in his heart, the blood that has been dusty for a long time has also been awakened. Do it when you have to! At this moment, there are several people in Liangshan who, like Shi Xiu, regardless of life and death, make this heroic act without hesitation.
Shi Xiu alone, although robbed Lu Junyi to have children, failed to escape from Daming House. As a result, he was also arrested. Above the lobby, Shi Xiu, desperate, loudly rebuked Liang Zhongshu: "You thief who brought disaster to the country and people, I listened to my brother's orders: sooner or later, he will lead an army and beat your city to pieces and cut you into three parts! Teacher Fu Xian tells you. " This kind of heroism, is it that Song Jiangzhi and others condescend when they see the high officials of the imperial court: the villain is just doing justice for heaven, with no intention of offending, waiting for the imperial court to win over Yun Yun, which is comparable to such an ugly act? Shi Xiu is much stronger than Song Jiangzhi in character. Shi Xiu's bravery also shocked Liang Zhongshu. Liang Zhongshu was afraid of Liangshan's terrorist revenge, so he didn't dare to kill Shi Xiu and Lu Junyi.
In this way, Shi Xiu and Lu Junyi were imprisoned in the death row of Daming Mansion for several months, and were not rescued until the second Daming Mansion in Liangshan broke the city. "Water Margin" did not describe in detail the life experience of Shi Xiu and Lu Junyi on death row together, only that Cai Fu, the warden of Daming House, was good to them in order to make friends with Liangshan. But two dying people, locked in the narrow space of death row, have lived together for several months, and the friendship they have forged is probably beyond all friendships in the world. Shi Xiu and Lu Junyi, strangers, should be unforgettable for Lu Junyi. Therefore, Shi Xiu became an important figure of Lu Junyi School in the future. When the famous city was broken, Lu Junyi said to Song Jiang with the Chua brothers who had taken care of him for several months: "If it weren't for these two people, I would have lived here long ago!" The Chua brothers are the people who used to exchange the black money of Coulee for Lu Junyi. Lu Junyi is still so grateful, not to mention the Shi Xiu brother who saved his life and accompanied him for several months.
Sure enough, after Lu Junyi established the status of Liangshan's second brother, Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong basically appeared as Lu Junyi's lieutenant. When Shijie was in astronomy, although Shi Xiu came from humble origins, he regarded Liangshan as an accomplice of a chicken thief. However, as an important figure of Lu Junyi school and an outstanding contribution to Liangshan, he ranks 33rd in the highest day star sequence, and is also one of the heavyweight eldest brothers. Except for his birth, his martial arts, wit, contribution and other aspects are not as good as Yang Xiong of Shi Xiu, because he is the eldest brother of Shi Xiu, ranking 32nd, and the first in Shi Xiu, thanks to Shi Xiu.
