The wind blows and the shadows of the trees along the river are sparse, and the shadows walk alone and regret the original.

Unfortunately, no one can control things in this world, only the right path can lead to a husband.

On the Xunyang River, with a moon hanging high in the sky, and under the stars all over the sky, a awning boat was lying quietly in the dry reeds. The boat was full of fire and Zhang Heng had come back from making money from nowhere. Looking at it from a distance

There was a figure sitting on the bow of the boat holding his own awning. He took out a short knife from the back of his waist and cautiously approached the reed marsh.

As I got closer, I heard a voice coming from the boat, "Brother, this is a certain Zhang Shun, please put away the dagger."

Zhang Heng heard the voice and saw the faces of the people on the boat clearly through the moonlight. He immediately put the dagger back to his waist, walked to the boat in a swagger, entered the cabin, pulled out a quilt from somewhere, and wrapped it in twos and twos.

He was lying on his body in the cabin and mocking Zhang Shun outside.

"Didn't you go to look for Mr. Taishan to apologize? Why, others look down on you and come here to look for someone in the middle of the night? As long as I say, they are the geese in the sky and we are the mud on the ground, don't think about it

Gao Pan, people like us, are only worthy of being on the river..."

"Brother, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Before Zhang Heng finished speaking, he was cut off by Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun looked into the cabin. The moonlight shone into the cabin, and Zhang Heng's face looked a little stunned. Zhang Shun sighed secretly and continued.

"My little brother doesn't want to live in such a hazy way anymore, doing such a destructive business every day. Brother Li Jun commends me and invites me to go out and make a living together."

After hearing this, Zhang Heng sat up, looked at the back of his brother sitting on the bow of the boat, and said quietly: "Do you want to take me with you?"

"I'll naturally follow my lead." Zhang Shun didn't think too much and responded without hesitation.

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heng sneered and said meaningfully: "You have such a temperament that you can't even make up lies. You treat me more filially than me. How can you let me go out with you and suffer such hardships?"

The pain of being displaced, I think you are really valued by that Lord Taishan, and he wants to take my mother to live on his hill."

After hearing this, Zhang Shun turned around and looked at his brother in a daze. He hesitated to speak, but then heard Zhang Heng say: "Don't be surprised. Someone saw in the morning that Lord Taishan attaches great importance to Li Jun.

I think he also joined Taishan Lord at this time; you don't need to worry, I, Zhang Heng, will not stop you, you can go and get rich by yourself, and I will do my own thing of killing people and selling goods. From now on, we will return to the bridge and the road will return.

Road, don’t bother me anymore.”

Looking at his brother's indifferent expression, Zhang Shun couldn't help but think of the scene in his childhood. At that time, his father was still alive and my mother was still in good health. His brother took him to fish in the Xunyang River every day.

The underwater kung fu was also slowly developed at that time, but I don’t know when the family’s stable life was shattered.

"Brother, please change your way of life!" Zhang Shun looked deeply at Zhang Heng, with a hint of pleading in his words.

After hearing this, Zhang Heng hid himself in the darkness of the cabin. A faint mist appeared in his eyes. He sighed secretly and said: "It can't be changed. Zhang Heng's hands are stained with too much blood.

Even the Thousand Waves of the Xunyang River can't wash it away. From now on, you can live a good life with me, and don't contact me again. Mr. Taishan is famous all over the world for his benevolence and righteousness, and all the people under his command are heroes. Don't

Because of me, you have stained your background and ruined your great future."

The biting river wind swept over the reeds, and the cold moonlight shone on Zhang Shun's face. With tears in his eyes, Zhang Shun hammered the ship's plank hard, looking up to the sky and sighing: "Why is this happening!"

Zhang Heng took out a package from under the stern plank, threw it to Zhang Shun, and said: "This is the money that a certain person saved over the years by killing people and stealing goods. Take it away, go back and tell me, and ask her to pretend that she never gave birth to a son like Zhang Heng."

.”

Zhang Shun stared blankly at the package in front of him. The sound of the package hitting the ship's deck just now made Zhang Shun know that the money contained in it was quite large. Zhang Shun was silent for a long time, stood up, knelt down heavily towards Zhang Heng, and picked up the package.

Jump off the boat.

Zhang Heng walked out of the cabin, looked at Zhang Shun's leaving figure with deep eyes, and shouted towards Zhang Shun's back: "Erlang, follow Mr. Taishan and make a name for yourself."

Zhang Shun's body froze when he heard the words, but then he heard another sentence, "Don't look back." Zhang Shun's throat tightened, two lines of thick tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and he walked forward with his head buried in the air.

Looking at Zhang Shun's retreating figure, Zhang Heng dug out a jar of wine from under the ship's plank, pulled off the cover, took a swig, looked towards the darkness in the distance, and sang to the river wind.

Song comes:

"I grew up by the river, and I am not afraid of lawsuits or the sky.

Hua Guang came to take advantage of me last night and grab a gold brick before I left."

...

In the darkness by the Xunyang River, two figures slowly retreated. On the way back to Lijun Village, Shi Qian said quietly to Zhu Biao: "Master, I never thought that Zhang Heng, the boatman, would do bad things to his brother.

But it’s so attentive.”

Zhu Biao slightly nodded his head when he heard this and said: "No matter how evil a person is, he still has concerns in his heart. Zhang Heng can be unfilial to his mother, but he is the only one who takes good care of his brother Zhang Shun. His two brothers are on the Xunyang River."

After years of committing murder and smuggling goods, Zhang Shun has no blood on his hands. Apart from the fact that his conscience is still intact, he has never been protected by Zhang Heng."

In the original text of Water Margin, after Zhang Heng learned about Song Jiang's identity from Li Jun on the Xunyang River, he immediately told Song Jiang about the name of his brother Zhang Shun. Why? Because Li Jun is a top-notch figure in Jieyang, and he is even more famous.

With such high regard for Song Jiang, how could Zhang Heng not immediately support his two brothers?

Later, he went to Jiangzhou, robbed the court, and settled in Liangshan. After being recruited, he followed the Liangshan army and fought in all directions. Zhang Heng never thought of competing with his brother Zhang Shun for credit.

During the Battle of Hangzhou, Zhang Shun was pierced by thousands of arrows, and his soul returned to Kinmen. His ghost lingered after his death. When the city of Hangzhou was destroyed, he entangled Fang Tianding and followed him to the foot of Wuyun Mountain. He happened to meet Zhang Heng, so he attached himself to Zhang Shun.

Heng physically killed Fang Tianding with the help of Zhang Heng. After Zhang Heng woke up and heard that his brother had died in the battle, he fainted on the spot. Later, he contracted the plague and died miserably.

"Young master followed Zhang Shun to the river tonight, but you don't trust him?" Shi Qian said again.

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "We are all brothers from now on, but there is nothing to worry about. This person will be of great use in the future, but tonight I want to see what his ambition is."

Hearing this, Shi Qian did not ask any more questions. Shi Qian only knew that a person who could be said to be "of great use" by his own young master would be one of the core figures in Dingshi Gang in the future, and a person who was said to be of great use by his previous young master.

, is Brother Du Bo who is currently stationed at Baodu Mountain in Hebei Province, but he does not look at his current position as the first cavalry general on the hill.
