The world was in turmoil and thieves were on the rise. The family of Li Fu-to in Baoding City was often visited by thieves and lost a lot of money. Li sent his two sons to the master's house to learn some martial arts. The eldest son was dull by nature and was sent back soon, but his younger son Li Chunsheng, with a lively brain and agile hands, was appreciated by the master and stayed to teach.

The master is the famous long-armed praying mantis Zhang Xinlong, martial arts skills, plus Li Fuhu is willing to spend money, Zhang Xinlong will be full of martial arts are taught to Li Chunsheng. Not a few years of work, Li Chunsheng has learned something, the master brothers rarely met rivals. Li Fu's household sees his age as not young, so he sets a marriage, sent a message, and lets him go home early to complete the marriage.

When Li Chunsheng went to say goodbye to his master, Zhang Xinlong led him to the back hall, made him kneel and perform the three kowtows to the statue of the ancestor, and asked him seriously, "Can you promise to use the martial arts taught to you by your master in the right way?" Li Chunsheng was busy saying, "That's natural." Zhang Xinlong nodded, and then said, "Then I will teach you the best move of our school-Three Rattling Arrows." Li Chunsheng couldn't help but be overjoyed and was busy kowtowing to Zhang Xinlong two more times to thank his master for teaching him.

Li Chunsheng returned home, and within a few days got married. The bride is a beauty, Li Chunsheng saw her a lot, and the two loved her exceptionally. This night, two people and early lights out are together in love, suddenly heard a whistle outside, Li Chunsheng busy climbing up, from the front to copy the guy, rushed out the door. But I saw that there were several black shadows in the courtyard, holding knives and guns in their hands, but not small bandits, but bandits on the mountain of nine buckles.

Li Chunsheng, confident in his martial arts skills, did not say much and rushed into the bandits in a series of beatings and killings. The group of bandits immediately screamed a lot. Suddenly, they heard a loud shout from the bandits: "Surround him, fight in wheels!"

Those bandits immediately followed the order and retreated to form a circle, surrounding Li Chunsheng in the middle. Li Chunsheng fought to which side, which side of the bandits will retreat, the back of the bandits will come to sneak attack, Li Chunsheng tried to deal with, in a short time too exhausted. The bandit leader gave another shout and the bandits swarmed around him and tied him up. The bandit leader gave a whistle and the bandits picked up Li Chunsheng and ran outside.

Li Chunsheng was brought back to the mountain by the bandits, and the bandit leader personally persuaded him to join the gang, but Li Chunsheng sternly refused. The bandit leader just smiled and retreated. Li Chunsheng was tired and fell asleep on a chair. In the dark, he felt his bride come to him, gently touching him while gently speaking words of relief. He opened his eyes and saw a young woman gently touching him, not his bride, but more beautiful than his bride, he did not feel his heart move, he pretended not to know, and let the woman's hands roam around his body.

The woman, however, realized that he was awake, she smiled gently and kissed him on the cheek, then sighed and said quietly: "My brother sees you as a talent, so he won't kill you. If you are bent on having your way and making him angry, a knife will click you out. At that time, how can you still regret it? You only live once, you'd better think about it and live a happy life with me." As soon as he heard that he could live a happy life with this beautiful woman, Li Chunsheng was moved and nodded his head yes.

The bandit leader held a ceremony to welcome Li Chunsheng into the gang but also married his sister to him. Li Chunsheng's warm and soft embrace full, the heart that is happy, really happy.
