Water Margin: Hu Sanniang and I swapped clothes

Liangshan Marsh has so many soldiers, but they don't do any production. What do they eat and drink?

Isn't it all about robbing?

Li Ying was incredibly wealthy, with granaries overflowing with gold and grain. How could Song Jiang not "invite" him to join the Liangshan Marsh to build a righteous alliance?

Sun Xin also joined the production team with her own investment, but there was nothing she could do about it, since Hu Sanniang had chosen the wrong side.

But Li Ying was different. Li Ying stood up for Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu and went to Zhu Family Village to demand people, but he was shot by Zhu Biao's arrow!

Although there was an element of acting involved, Li Ying did indeed take a real arrow from Zhu Biao!

In the end, he couldn't escape the calamity either; his home was essentially ransacked by Song Jiang, but he managed to save his life.

Then again, it's no wonder Sun Xin didn't remember; Li Ying was too low-key and too transparent after joining Liangshan.

Perhaps Song Jiang felt guilty towards Li Ying, so he arranged for Li Ying to manage the money and grain, but Li Ying just played a minor role.

Li Ying had been a minor character until Liangshan Marsh accepted the imperial pardon, after which he began to distinguish himself, fighting in the south and north and repeatedly achieving military merits.

But it's too late to think about it now; there's no time to change the plot, and all we can do is wait for Li Ying to be tricked by Song Jiang.

However, once Li Ying is forced to join Liangshan by Song Jiang, I can extend an olive branch to him.

Li Ying should have a lot in common with me...

Sun Xin stood by the window, lost in thought, the biting wind helping him keep his mind clear.

Footsteps came from behind. Sun Xin's eyes turned cold, and his small hand subconsciously pressed down on the Sun and Moon Twin Blades.

Sun Xin's delicate body was enveloped in warmth as his shoulders sank, the snow-white fox fur tickling his cheeks.

"My son, it's too cold outside, and the lake wind is too harsh."

An aged voice sounded behind him:

"Don't stand for too long, or you'll catch a cold."

Sun Xin released the knife handle and glanced down at the white fox fur cloak that had appeared on his body.

Turning around, he met the concerned gaze of Grandfather Hu.

In the original story, Hu Taigong was killed by Li Kui, but this time, thanks to Sun Xin's intervention, Hu Taigong survived.

Hu Taigong had only one son and one daughter. Since both his son and daughter went to Liangshan, he naturally followed them.

No one knows a son better than his father, and Sun Xin was afraid of showing his weakness in front of him, so he always avoided contact with him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't avoid contact now, so Sun Xin tried his best to smile warmly:

"Thank you, Father. I understand."

Sun Xin didn't dare to say more, for fear that he might make a mistake if he said too much.

However, to his surprise, after he finished speaking, Hu Taigong's cloudy old eyes became misty.

Sun Xin was stunned: No, what did I say?

Hu Taigong forced a smile, nodded to Sun Xin, and then hurriedly walked out.

I was afraid that if I slowed down even a step, tears would well up in my eyes.

Hurriedly leaving the water pavilion, tears were already welling up in Hu Taigong's eyes.

At this moment, Hu Cheng, who had just finished his meal and drinks, came over picking his teeth:

"Father, have you seen Third Mother?"

"I saw him..."

As soon as Hu Taigong opened his mouth, his eyes welled up with tears!

"Father, what's wrong...?"

Hu Cheng could hardly believe his eyes. Why was the old man crying?

"Your sister, she..."

With tears streaming down his face, Old Master Hu threw himself into his son's arms.

"Finally, you talked to me..."

"This is the first time she's spoken to me since I got her engaged..."

That's it!

Hu Cheng suddenly realized what was happening and quickly opened his arms to hug his elderly father:

"Father, you meant well back then..."

Old Master Hu sniffed and choked up as he said:

"I originally thought the Zhu family and our family were a good match, and Zhu Biao and your sister were about the same age, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and we knew each other well. I thought your sister would be satisfied with this marriage, so I agreed to Zhu Chaofeng's proposal in person..."

"Who knew your sister would cry..."

"Alright, alright, it's all in the past."

Hu Cheng patted his father's vest:

"Making our family of three live a good life is more important than anything else!"

Old Master Hu cried even more bitterly:

"We've fallen into a den of thieves, what good days can we expect..."

Hu Cheng was speechless.

Behind the door, Sun Xin sighed silently.

It turns out that this old feudal man arranged the marriage for Hu Sanniang.

However, these days, arranged marriages and parental consent are the norm, and besides, Zhu Biao's conditions are not bad.

In terms of age, Zhu Biao and Hu Sanniang were about the same.

In terms of family background, the Zhu family village has the greatest influence in Dulonggang.

In terms of talent, Zhu Biao was the most outstanding among the "Three Heroes of the Zhu Family".

Could someone be worse than Wang Ai Hu?

A gust of cold wind, carrying snowflakes, swept in through the window, and Sun Xin instinctively pulled his white fox fur cloak tighter around himself.

It's snowing?

Sun Xin went to the window and looked out; sure enough, it was snowing heavily.

Thousands of willow catkins drifted on the curtain, and tens of thousands of goose feathers danced on the wine flag.

The wind was strong and the snow was heavy. Sun Xin's vision was blurred by the heavy snowfall, and the lake surface seemed to blend into the night sky.

With such heavy snow, will the boat still come?

"I can't come!"

Sure enough, a short while later, Zhu Gui, the "Crocodile of the Land," received a reply:

"The snow is too heavy tonight!"

"Chao Tianwang said that even if they brought the person over, it would be difficult to go up the mountain in the middle of the night!"

"Why don't we wait until the snow stops tomorrow before we leave? King Chao will personally welcome you all back to Golden Beach tomorrow morning!"

Sun Xin thought about it and realized it made sense. It was the middle of the night and snowing heavily. What if someone rolled down a mountain path?

The Nanshan Hotel isn't large, but it has over a dozen rooms across two floors, all of which are shared dorm rooms.

Instead of braving the heavy snow to walk along mountain roads in the middle of the night, it's better to just squeeze into the Nanshan Hotel.

Three hundred guards from the Hu family village squeezed together, and the large communal bed in the dozen or so guest rooms was barely enough for them to sleep on.

Although Sun Xin was a woman, she did not have the privilege of sleeping in a single room and could only share a room with Hu Taigong and Hu Cheng.

So the father and his two sons slept on a large communal bed, which was spacious enough and far apart from each other.

Sun Xin slept fully clothed, but the more he slept, the colder he felt.

Whether it was because the blanket was too thin or because of the lake breeze, Sun Xin kept sniffling in the middle of the night.

As Sun Xin slept, he unconsciously curled up into a small ball, like a snail.

He vaguely sensed someone getting out of bed, but there was no one else in the room, so Sun Xin didn't open his eyes even though he knew.

The man tiptoed out.

After an unknown amount of time, the person tiptoed back and slipped something into Sun Xin's bed.

The object was flat, round, and warm, and it immediately warmed up Sun Xin's bed.

"Mmm..."

Sun Xin couldn't help but hum softly; with this thing, sleeping was much more comfortable.

So Sun Xin drifted off to sleep...

"Clang! Clang!"

He didn't know how long he had slept when there was a sudden knock on the door. Sun Xin, still half asleep, couldn't help but frown.

"Who?"

"Sir/Madam!"

A man's apologetic voice came from outside the door:

"Yesterday you instructed me to prepare dry rations for you, saying you had to travel this morning..."

"oh."

Sun Xin was still half asleep when he subconsciously agreed and reluctantly got up.

Sun Xin, who had just woken up, felt a painful bloating in his lower abdomen. Still half asleep, he found the toilet and plopped down on it.

"Oh my god!"

Sun Xin almost broke his calf from sitting on the toilet; the pain made him jump up from the toilet!
