There are many small people in the Water Margin, these small characters are often taken by the author, but if you look closely, you can find that the small people are often very wonderful, such as Li Xiao'er, who helped Lin Chong, is very kind, and it can be seen from the side that Lin Chong is also a good person.
For example, Dong Chao and Xue Ba, the two are small pawns, but this little pawn does not know how many good men have resulted, as long as there are orders on it, give a little silver, the two will have to help people to result in prisoners, Lin Chong almost planted in the hands of these two people.

Deng Long
Today I will tell you about another small person, who will also show his face in the Water Margin, but if you read deeply, you can see more things.
This person's name is Deng Long, the name is very domineering, and life can also be said to be very legendary.
It is said that after Yang Zhi lost his birthday, he originally wanted to die, but he thought that it was not easy for his parents to give birth to himself, and he was skilled in martial arts, so he could not die in vain, so he wanted to go to Liangshan to drop grass.
Yang Zhi
On the way, I met a hotel, it was Lin Chong's apprentice Cao Zhengkai, after eating and drinking, Yang Zhi had no money, the two people fought, did not fight and did not know each other, Yang Zhi showed his identity and said his thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Cao Zheng said: The little man also listened to the legend of the people, Wang Lunna, his heart was narrow, and he could not be at ease, saying that when my master Lin Jiao went up the mountain, he was angry with him.
The meaning is very clear, go to Liangshan Po to be angry, it is better to consider Erlong Mountain.
Cao Zheng
Erlong Mountain was not far from Cao Zheng's hotel, but there was a group of people occupying it, and the head was Deng Long. What is Deng Long's original identity? It's an abbot.
If the villain is not far away from here, but it is the ground of Qingzhou, there is a mountain, called Erlong Mountain, there is a temple on the mountain, called Baozhu Temple. ...... Now the abbot of the temple has returned to the customs and raised his hair, and the rest of the monks have followed suit. He said that the four or five hundred people he had gathered had robbed the house.
Lu Zhishen had also thrown in Deng Long before, but Deng Long did not allow it, and as a result, he was injured by Lu Zhishen, and later Lu Zhishen, Cao Zheng and Yang Zhi, made a plan, went up the mountain to kill Deng Long. Careful analysis will reveal that there are several problems.
Lu Zhishen
1. Why didn't Deng Long let Lu Zhi go deep into the gang?
Of course, it was jealousy, just like Wang Lun. In fact, Lu Zhishen's situation at that time was the same as Lin Chong's going up to Liangshan, they were desperate, as long as they really took them in, they would be very grateful, but unfortunately the two did not understand, and finally killed.
2. Why did Deng Long take hundreds of monks as robbers?
Deng Long was definitely not an abbot at first, but after climbing to the position of abbot, he was still not satisfied, and took everyone as a robber, which could only show that he had no intention of cultivating Buddhism. Why do you have no intention of practicing Buddhism? Can't stand the rules and precepts, when the robber can drink wine and eat meat to play with women.
And such a person can still be an abbot, which is simply a great irony.
