Li Kui, le Fils Prodigue
Li Kui,
known as the Black
Whirlwind, wishes
to take is mother to the Liangshan Marsh to take care
of her. Song Jiang
agrees to let him go if he respects three conditions
:
- he will leave his two battle-axes in the camp,
- he will refrain from drinking wine,
- he will travel alone and won't look for trouble.
However, Zhu Gui,
will be sent to look after our fierce hero and the travellers
who will be enough unlucky to encounter this mighty
figure.
All these precautions will be vain : Li
Kui will do what he wants and get in danger. Whatever
recommandations Zhu Gui and his brother Zhu Fu will give, he will take the most dangerous
road and will have to fight against a false Black Whirlwind before he can reach his mother's
house.
Unconscious of the risks, he will lead his
blind mother on a mount where she will be killed by
tigers. In revenge, he will kill 4 tigers with his bare
hands and become an hero until he is recognised and
sent to jail as a Liangshan outlaw.
He will be saved
by Zhu Gui, Zhu Fu and Li Yun and will come back safe to the stronghold
of Song Jiang and Chao Gai.
He will never be able to refrain from his murderous
temptation and will kill many people in spite of Song
Jiang's admonestations. |
