Water Margin: Hu Sanniang and I swapped clothes

Sun Xin stared intently at the burly man, who was tall and had an unusual appearance, with a large fleshy growth on his head.

Although it was the first time Sun Xin had met him, he was very familiar with him because of the fusion of memories.

In the martial arts world, he was known as "Zou Run the Unicorn Dragon," with "unicorn" referring to the large fleshy growth on his head.

Once, Zou Run got into a fight and lost his temper. He charged headlong into a pine tree by the stream and broke it!

The name "Unicorn Dragon" became widely known!

He and his uncle, "Chu Linlong" Zou Yuan, are avid gamblers, and now they gather a group to rob people in Taiyu, Dengyun Mountain.

Sun Xin and the uncle and nephew were sworn brothers. In the original story, Sun Xin asked them for help to break out of the prison.

Knowing that breaking into a prison is a capital offense, the uncle and nephew agreed without even thinking about it.

They not only provided manpower and resources, but also arranged a way out for Sun Xin, and after the prison break, they went together to join Liangshan Marsh.

So the time traveler Sun Xin also came to ask the uncle and nephew for help, but he was robbed by Zou Run as soon as he arrived at Dengyun Mountain.

"Brother, I need your help with something, uncle and nephew!"

Sun Xin glanced behind Zou Run, who was followed by more than a dozen burly men, but Zou Yuan was not among them.

"My uncle took some people up the mountain early this morning to check for traps..."

Zou Run agreed without even asking what it was about:

"Second brother, if you need anything, just say the word. We, your uncle and nephew, will go through fire and water for you!"

"Good brother!"

Sun Xin patted Zou Run on the shoulder with satisfaction, but Zou Run couldn't help but gasp:

"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law?"

Zou Run didn't notice Sister Gu behind Sun Xin at first.

The main problem was that Sister-in-law Gu was too low-key today, following closely behind Sun Xin like a wronged little wife.

While Sun Xin was speaking, Sister-in-law Gu remained silent.

So when Zou Run suddenly noticed Sister-in-law Gu behind Sun Xin, he was startled.

Who wouldn't be startled when they see a huge insect?

"There's no need to call her sister-in-law anymore; we've already divorced."

Sun Xin reintroduced Sister-in-law Gu to him:

"Now she is my personal maid, and I have named her Tiger Girl."

Divorce?

A personal maid?

You still call the "female tiger" a "tiger girl"?

No, it was just a few dishes, how could you be this drunk?

Zou Run could hardly believe his ears, let alone his eyes:

Sister-in-law Gu hung her head and remained silent, as if whatever Sun Xin said was law.

Even the usually arrogant and domineering Sister-in-law Gu bowed to Zou Run after Sun Xin introduced them.

Even Zou Run is completely stumped...

Zou Run looked at Sister-in-law Gu and then at Sun Xin with a shocked expression, and gave a thumbs up in complete admiration:

"Second brother, cover yourself!"

Sun Xin smiled slightly: "It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

So Zou Run stopped robbing people and took Sun Xin up the mountain to find Zou Yuan.

When they found Zou Yuan, the "Dragon Emerging from the Forest," Zou Yuan was admiring a gleaming silver halberd.

A five-colored gold and silver banner hung from the handle of the halberd, fluttering in the wind, which was quite a sight.

A few henchmen surrounded a white horse, which was pure white without a single stray hair.

The white horse was nothing to worry about, but Sun Xin was startled when he saw the five-colored gold and silver banner on the halberd.

"Hey bro, got your lucky money?"

Zou Yuan turned around and saw that it was Sun Xin, and burst into laughter:

"Second Brother, you've come at the perfect time. I've often heard you say you're missing a good gun!"

"What do you think of this silver halberd?"

Although Zou Yuan and Zou Run were uncle and nephew, they were about the same age, so Sun Xin discussed things with each of them separately.

Regardless of whether it was Zou Yuan or Zou Run, Sun Xin always called them brothers, and Zou Yuan and Zou Run also called Sun Xin "Second Brother".

Sun Xin took the silver halberd and examined it carefully. He saw that this halberd was clearly no ordinary item, as it exuded a chilling aura.

Most importantly, it was a halberd with a five-colored banner and gold coins; Sun Xin remembered that it belonged to either Lü Fang or Guo Sheng.

The five-colored money banner is like an anti-counterfeiting mark; you won't find another one like it in the entire Water Margin world.

So here's the question: how did this halberd with the five-colored gold and gold banner end up in Zou Yuan's hands?

"Indeed, a fine halberd!"

Sun Xin countered, "Where did this halberd come from?"

Zou Yuan pointed to the top of his head:

"A defeated general, whoever came from who-knows-where, has walked right into our trap. This silver halberd and white horse are his!"

Sun Xin looked up and saw a huge silkworm cocoon hanging on the tree!

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a person caught in a net, like a fish!

Zou Yuan gave a hand gesture, and the henchmen on the big tree cut the rope with a knife, causing the silkworm cocoon to fall down!

"Bang!"

The silkworm cocoon crashed heavily to the ground, and the person inside struggled desperately.

However, it was of no use; a group of henchmen quickly surrounded him and held knives and guns to his body.

"If Second Brother likes it, then this halberd is for you!"

Zou Runhao said generously, pointing again to the silkworm cocoon:

"We should kill this bastard!"

"You can't kill me..."

The person inside the cocoon was anxious. He was upside down, tightly wrapped in the net like a cocoon, unable to make a sound, and could only hum softly:

"My brother is the military commander of Dengzhou..."

"Who?"

Sun Xingang wanted to ask who the Silkworm Cocoon Man was, but he never expected that the Silkworm Cocoon Man would dare to use his brother's name to swindle and deceive people.

Sun Xin exchanged a strange look with Zou Yuan and Zou Run, and then burst into laughter in unison.

"That's really a case of running into an acquaintance while bragging!"

Zou Run laughed heartily and pointed at Sun Xin, saying:

"Who do you think he is?"

What kind of lousy habits do people have these days? They even introduce themselves before committing murder and robbery?

Sun Xin grabbed Zou Run's hand and asked the cocoon-man, whose face was flushed from laughing:

"Don't drag others into this. I'm only asking you, who are you?"

Upon seeing Sun Xin and his group's reaction, the people in the cocoon guessed that bringing up Sun Li's name had been effective.

He rolled over, trying to get his head up, and the cocoon-like man introduced himself, still bringing up Sun Lixian as an example:

"Sun Li, the military commander of Dengzhou, is my junior brother. We have studied under the same master since childhood and are as close as brothers!"

"In the martial arts world, everyone calls me 'Iron Rod' Luan Tingyu!"

"Oh my god!"

Sun Xin had already guessed who he was. At this moment, he pretended to be surprised, snatched Zou Yuan's knife, and cut the net.

Upon releasing Luan Tingyu, Sun Xin immediately bowed deeply.

"The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple; it turns out it was my brother in front of me!"

"My brother and I often reminisce about your past when we drink together, and we miss you dearly. I didn't expect to offend you today; please forgive me!"

Luan Tingyu hurriedly bowed to Sun Xin, then took another look at Sun Xin's face, which bore a striking resemblance to Sun Li's.

"Brother, could you... be Shin-chan?"

Luan Tingyu and Sun Li had studied under the same master for many years, so they naturally knew Sun Xin, although Sun Xin was just a child at that time.

Luan Tingyu called Sun Xin "Xiao Xin" when he was a child, and he couldn't help but say it again when they met after many years.

"It is indeed I, your humble servant!"

Sun Xin hugged Luan Tingyu tightly and said enthusiastically:

"It's been so long since I've seen you, brother! Today, I must drink with you until we're completely drunk!"

Sun Xin introduced Luan Tingyu to Zou Yuan and Zou Run, and Zou Yuan and Zou Run immediately stepped forward and bowed.

Luan Tingyu bid them farewell, and together they went up to the mountain stronghold, where they slaughtered chickens and cattle to hold a grand feast!
