In Yuan Kuocheng's storytelling," The Waters of Liangshan," there was a plot of three fights against the Zhu family. This storytelling was equivalent to an external biography of Water Margins. The story took place before and after the three fights at Zhu Village. The story structure, plot setting, and the time sequence of the joints were almost completely different from the original. The story started with a treasure that the Xi Liang Kingdom had given to Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty being stolen by Gao Qiu. It led to a series of events that eventually developed to the plot of Song Jiang beating up the Zhu family. The storytelling created a group of small characters represented by Shi Qian, who was not as famous in the original work. Among them, Shi Qian was humorous and intelligent, adding a lot of comedy to the storytelling. The villains were also vividly portrayed. "Legend of the Flying Apsaras" is equally exciting.

The reason for the three attacks on the Zhu Village was because Shi Qian, Shi Xiu, and Yang Xiong passed by the Zhu Village. Shi Qian was captured, and Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong went to Liangshan to ask for backup. However, attacking Zhu Manor was only a matter of time. Stealing horses was just an excuse. Liang Mountain needed food, and there were many people in Liang Mountain. To feed them, they needed a lot of food. The first time they attacked Zhu Village, Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong were captured and they failed. The second time they attacked Zhu Village, the rebel army of Liangshan could only attack fiercely, but because Zhu Village was high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, they failed again. In the end, Song Jiang realized that he could only break through the defense of Zhu Village by cooperating from the inside and outside. Sun Li and the others pretended to join the Zhu Family and broke down the Zhu Family's defense line from the inside. The result of the three battles against Zhu Village was that Liang Mountain successfully broke through Zhu Village and won.
