Preface
Lin Chong, the name, seems to have nothing to do with "indifference". He is a hot-blooded, death-oriented hero, for the sake of his brother, he can stick a knife in both ribs; For the sake of justice, he can take the lead and kill the enemy. However, when Lu Junyi fought to the death with the eight masters in full view of everyone, Lin Chong chose to remain silent.
Why is that? Is there any grudge between the two of them?
1. People who value love and righteousness also value decency
It was a sunny day. Lin Chong stood alone by the spring, looking at his reflection and sighing.
He had just discussed Wang Lun's actions with Lu Zhishen, and the other party's words were like a spring breeze, gently blowing through his long-numbed heart and stirring up ripples.
"Do you live for your family, or do you live for yourself?" This sentence became a thorn in the heart of Lin Chong.
Indeed, before coming to Liangshan, he had been living under the fetters of his family. The Lin family has been Xi martial arts for generations, and he is the concubine of the long house, proud and stubborn. For the glory of the family, he never allowed himself to expose his weak side. However, after joining Liangshan, the atmosphere of brotherhood and sacrifice of life and death here gradually disintegrated his inner defense.
Lin Chong knew that he was standing at a turning point in his life. Forward, it is the dignity of the family; Backwards, is their own beliefs.
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps behind him. Lin Chong looked back and saw that it was the blue-faced beast Du Xing. This man, who often has a murderous look in his eyes, will also come to this lake in the early morning to feed the swans gently.
"Brother Lin is alone at this time, what do you seem to be worrying about?" Duchenne asked straight to the point.
Lin Chong smiled: "I'm thinking, does a person live for responsibility or for his own heart? ”
Duchenne pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "I understand your feelings. But I want to tell you, how can there be absolute black and white in this world, you can be responsible for your family, and you can pursue your own heart. ”
Lin Chong's heart moved, and Du Xing's words reminded him that instead of dwelling on one or the other, it is better to seek a balance between the two.
That night, Lin Chong climbed to the top of the mountain alone and looked up in the direction of his hometown. He was determined to live for himself, but the dignity of his family remained in his blood and bones, engraved in the depths of his soul. He had to find a balance between these two things, and this was his new life topic.
The wind crossed the mountain beam, and Lin Chong's knife flashed. On the path of pursuing his true self, he will continue to move forward.
Second, an anger is a red face, pointing directly at the disease of the common people
Three days later. The position of the leader of Liang Shanbo seems to be destined to change once.
On this day, Wang Lun stood on a high platform, holding a sword, like a king. Below, the heroes of Liangshanbo stand like pines and cypresses, and everyone has awe on their faces.
Only Lin Chong's face changed slightly—Wang Lun's self-righteous tone made him very uncomfortable.
"I'm here today to make an announcement. Wang Lun put away his smile and said sonorously, "In view of the fact that some brothers have recently inappropriately spoken and deed and hindered their official affairs, I have decided that from now on, anyone who makes friends and forms small circles in private without authorization will be killed!"
As soon as the words came out, there was a sudden silence below. Liang Shanbo has always attached importance to brotherhood, and Wang Lun's words are tantamount to splitting the hearts of heroes.
"You want to add sin, why should you disobey your will!"
Lin Chong came out of the crowd, his eyes were red, and he pointed at Wang Lun with an incomparable force: "We came to Liangshanbo for justice and brotherhood, not to be at the mercy of you alone!"
"You!" Wang Lun was furious, and when he showed his sword, he was about to jump off the stage and fight Lin Chong to the death.
"Wait!
I saw Lu Zhishen take a step forward and block between the two: "Although Brother Lin and I are not familiar with each other, we also have a heart-to-heart relationship!
Suddenly, more and more heroes stood on Lin Chong's side, and Wang Lun was alone and unsustainable.
Three days later, Wang Lun left Liangshan. And Lin Chong, in this contest between righteous heroes, completely released his emotions and justice.
From then on, the lake is no longer calm, and Lin Chong will be the one who gave rise to the stormy waves.
3. Huddle together for warmth, and have a soul
After Wang Lun left, Liangshan Bo was leaderless. Lin Chong became friends with Lu Zhishen, Du Xing and other heroes, and elected Chao Gai as the new leader.
At the beginning of his tenure, Chao Gai proposed to reform Liangshanbo and build this village into a paradise of freedom and equality.
In the spring of that year, everything in Liangshanbo recovered. The grass is green and the wildflowers are abundant. The sunlight swayed in the house through the window lattice, Lin Chong sat in front of the battle and played chess with Duchenne, and several heroes behind him drank wine and chatted.
"I heard that Brother Chao is going to set up a copycat guard recently, are you interested in joining?" Duchenne said as he moved his gun carriage forward.
Lin Chong raised his eyebrows: "Guards, I'm interested." It's time for us to do something practical for this cottage, and we can't eat and drink for nothing. ”
"This guard is not simple," Duchenne lowered his voice mysteriously, "I heard that some new weapons and tactics will be introduced to make us an elite army!"
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Chong came to his senses, "If it's true, I'm willing to join this team!"
"Deal!" Duchenne laughed, "When the time comes, you and I will fight side by side, it will be a new scene!"
The two of them touched their glasses, and they both smiled with a sense of ambition. Under Chao Gai's leadership, Liangshanbo is growing stronger and on the right track. And they will be the two best in this undefeated army, and together they will protect their homeland.
Fourth, the ideal collapsed, and he became a question itself
Time flies, years change. Chao Gai was unfortunately killed in battle with the people of Liangshan, and Song Jiang took over as the leader of Liangshanbo.
Song Jiang, who has always been calm and wise, has frequently made some puzzling moves recently. What made Lin Chong the most difficult to accept was that Song Jiang actually announced that he was going to give way to Guan Sheng!
In the evening of this day, Song Jiang stood alone on the high platform of the camp and looked into the distance. A long shadow pulled to the ground, like a lone dragon.
"Song Jiang, why are you so troubled!" Lin Chong's angry voice woke Song Jiang up. He stood at the foot of the steps, his eyes red, and tried his best to control the anger in his heart: "We can obviously fight side by side and support this country. Why did you give up so easily?"
Song Jiang sighed: "Brother, I'm also very uncomfortable. But we need more robust leadership to weather the hurdles...... This is the urgency of the times. ”
"The situation?" Lin Chong sneered, "Aren't we just going to change the current situation?
"You're still too young. Song Jiang looked tired, "There are always some things, and we have to compromise." That's what adults worry about. ”
Lin Chong couldn't say anything anymore. He turned away, his figure growing more and more lonely in the setting sun.
This night, Lin Chong tossed and turned. He is unwilling to accept reality, but he is powerless to change. Once upon a time, weren't they heroes who fought side by side and talked about the rivers and lakes? But now, all good things are fading. He had to re-examine himself and this new and cruel world.
In the early morning of the second day, Lin Chong packed his bags and left Liangshanbo alone. He's going to look for something more, even if it's destined for nothing this time.
