Why is Li Kui, who was once laughed at by Song Jiang, always loyal?

Almost all of the 108 generals in Water Margin have one skill. Song Jiang and Wu Yong have relatively high IQs (scheming), Lu Junyi is unrivaled in martial arts, Gongsun Sheng is powerful in magic, and An Daoquan is If a miraculous doctor with a wonderful rejuvenation skill doesn't have any special skills, it will be difficult for him to survive in Liangshanbo. There are protagonists and supporting characters in every work, and "Water Margin" is no exception. Li Kui, ranked 22nd, has a very prominent character.

Li Kui is very tall and tall. Although he is not a ferocious figure, he still looks formidable. He holds two axes and has a very bad temper. No one can stop him when he gets angry, and he attacks very ruthlessly. Some people think that Li Kui has an upright character, without any scheming, and his face shows whether he is happy or sad; but others say that he does not distinguish between good and bad, and will kill at the slightest disagreement, so many innocent people died in his hands.

If we analyze it from the perspective of martial arts, it is difficult for Li Kui to be ranked in the top fifteen. He relies on brute force when fighting with others, and his martial arts is relatively rough. He cannot compete with Qin Ming and Guan Sheng at all. Compared with others. It sounds like he is brave and foolhardy, but in fact he is just a fool. His IQ is worrying. Compared with Wu Song, who has a true temperament, there is a world of difference. Therefore, Wu Song is called one of the few true heroes in Liangshanbo by most people, but Li Kui is not. cannot.

Before meeting Song Jiang, Li Kui didn’t have any goals in mind, and he could only live a day’s work. But since meeting Song Jiang in Jiangzhou, especially when Song Jiang gave him ten taels of silver, Li Kui was greatly He was so moved that he regarded Song Jiang as his elder brother from the bottom of his heart. However, when Li Kui told Song Jiang about his mother being eaten by a tiger with tears in his eyes, Song Jiang laughed loudly and had cows and horses killed to celebrate.

Although Li Kui is not too smart, he is not so stupid that he cannot see Song Jiang's expression of laughing at him. If others dare to laugh at him like this, Li Kui will probably fall out on the spot and fight with that person with an axe. duel. What is surprising is that even though Song Jiang ridiculed him, Li Kui was still loyal to him. Why is this? In fact, the reason is very simple.

Although Song Jiang is not very good at martial arts, he had a good job before, lived a decent life, and was a righteous man. He had helped people in the world many times, and was known as "Timely Rain". Before Li Kui met Song Jiang, he had heard others talk about Song Jiang's deeds many times. After Song Jiang casually helped him with ten taels of silver, Li Kui was completely conquered by Song Jiang's chivalry and righteousness. After all, no one had been so kind to him before.

It can be seen from Li Kui's actions of robbing the execution ground that he valued Song Jiang's life more than his own, which was related to his mentality of "repaying a favor". In addition, except for Song Jiang, Li Kui's relationship with other heroes on Liang Mountain was not good, especially Zhu Tong, Hu Sanniang and others, who all regarded Li Kui as his enemy. Li Kui also knew very well that if he wanted to continue to hang out on Liang Mountain, he must He hugged Song Jiang's thigh, so he suppressed his ridicule to Song Jiang.
