魯智深
On his journey to Dongjing, Lu Zhishen passes by Plum Blossom Village and is offered free lodgings for the night at Squire Liu's manor. He overhears the family crying and finds out that Zhou Tong, a bandit leader from the nearby Mount Plum Blossom, is coming that very night to forcibly marry Squire Liu's daughter. Lu Zhishen lies to the squire that he could dissuade the bandit with his eloquence. Zhou Tong turns up in the finery of a groom and goes to the matrimonial room where he feels his way to the bed in the dark. Lu, who is lying on the bed, jumps onto him and gives him a good thrash. Zhou Tong escapes and asks Li Zhong, the chief of Mount Plum Blossom, to get back at Lu for him. Li Zhong is surprised to find that the monk is Lu Da.
