Chapter 1: Lin Chong at the Mountain Temple
Bab 1: Lin Chong di Kuil Gunung
Lin Chong was exiled to Cangzhou and assigned to work guarding the fodder storage. It was a cold winter with heavy snow falling. Lin Chong lived in the mountain temple and guarded the fodder every day.
Lin Chong diasingkan ke Cangzhou dan ditugaskan untuk menjaga gudang pakan ternak. Itu adalah musim dingin yang membekukan dengan salju tebal turun. Lin Chong tinggal di kuil gunung dan menjaga pakan ternak setiap hari.
One night, Lin Chong heard movement outside. He looked carefully and saw several dark figures moving near the fodder storage. Lin Chong thought to himself: "These people must be bad people. They want to burn the fodder storage."
Suatu malam, Lin Chong mendengar gerakan di luar. Dia melihat dengan cermat dan melihat beberapa sosok gelap bergerak di dekat gudang pakan ternak. Lin Chong berpikir dalam hati: "Orang-orang ini pasti orang jahat. Mereka ingin membakar gudang pakan ternak."
Lin Chong quietly walked out of the temple and saw that the fodder storage was really on fire. Those people were holding torches and setting fire. Lin Chong was very angry. He thought: "These bad people harmed me once, and now they come to harm me again."
Lin Chong diam-diam keluar dari kuil dan melihat bahwa gudang pakan ternak benar-benar terbakar. Orang-orang itu memegang obor dan membakar. Lin Chong sangat marah. Dia berpikir: "Orang-orang jahat ini pernah menyakiti saya sekali, dan sekarang mereka datang untuk menyakiti saya lagi."
Lin Chong picked up his weapon and rushed out. He fought with those people and finally defeated them all.
Lin Chong mengambil senjatanya dan bergegas keluar. Dia bertarung dengan orang-orang itu dan akhirnya mengalahkan mereka semua.
Lin Chong knew that he could not live in Cangzhou anymore, so he decided to go to Liangshan Marsh. There were many people like him there, all of whom were wrongly accused by the court.
Lin Chong tahu bahwa dia tidak bisa tinggal di Cangzhou lagi, jadi dia memutuskan untuk pergi ke Rawa Liangshan. Ada banyak orang seperti dia di sana, semuanya dituduh secara salah oleh pengadilan.
