Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Wei Yunwang was born in Penquan, Yidu County, and his ancestors belonged to a wealthy family.Later, his family fell into poverty, and he was poor and unable to study. When he was in his 20s, he dropped out of school and followed his father-in-law to do business and sell wine for a living.

One night, Wei Yunwang was lying alone on the restaurant, when he suddenly heard the sound of kicking downstairs, as if someone was approaching, he got up in surprise and listened attentively.The sound was getting closer and closer, as he went up the stairs, every step he took made a rumbling sound.Not long after, two servant girls came under the bed with lanterns in their hands.A young scholar followed behind, leading a girl to approach the bed and smile.

Wei Yunwang was very surprised, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized: the group of people in front of him must be fox demons.Thinking of this, his hair stood on end, he lowered his head and dared not look around.

The scholar smiled and said, "My lord, you don't have to be suspicious. My sister is destined to meet you. If you don't mind, let her accompany you." Wei Yunwang raised his eyes to look at the scholar. , I don’t know how to answer.The scholar led the maidservant, lighted the lamp and left, saying: "A moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold, you can do as you please, and I will take my leave."

Wei Yunwang examined the girl carefully, she was so pitiful and beautiful as a fairy, he was very happy.However, there is a disparity between the rich and the poor, so ashamed, they dare not strike up a conversation.The girl smiled and said, "Young master doesn't look like a nerd, why does he have a pedantic air?" While speaking, she approached the quilt, got into the bed, and put her hand into Wei's arms to keep warm.Wei Yunwang showed his face and smiled, stretched out his hand to pull the girl's pants, and the two were intimate.

At dawn the next day, two servant girls came to pick up the girl, and before leaving, they made a date.In the evening, the girl really came and said with a smile: "Your blessing is not small, and you don't spend a penny. If you get this beautiful woman, you will fall into your arms every night." Seeing that there was no one in the shop, Wei Yunwang was very happy. It is fun for people to guess the number, and women win nine times out of ten.So he said with a smile: "It's better for me to collect the pieces, and the young master will guess. If you guess correctly, you will win, otherwise you will lose. If I keep guessing, the young master will have no chance to win." Wei Yunwang said as he said, and the two played all night. Have fun.

Then it was getting late, and the two went to bed to rest. The girl said: "I fell asleep last night, and the quilt was dry and cold, which was unbearable." She called the maidservant: "Bring me a new quilt." When it blooms, the beautiful embroidery flowers are soft and fragrant, and you will be intoxicated by the smell.The two embraced each other to sleep, and the fragrance lingered. This situation was nothing less than a gentle and blessed place.

Since then, the two have been happy every night, and they are used to it.

Half a year later, Wei Yunwang went back to his hometown to visit relatives. On the night of the full moon, he was chatting with his wife by the bedside, when he suddenly saw a girl sitting on the wall and beckoning to him gently.Wei Yunwang approached the wall, the woman stretched out her hand and pulled each other, and the two climbed over the wall and came out.The woman exhorted her with her hand, and said, "From now on, I will bid farewell to you forever. Please give me a ride, and the love between husband and wife will not be in vain for half a year."

Wei Yunwang was quite surprised, and asked, "What's going on?"

The girl said: "Marriage has its own destiny. You and I have come to an end, so there is no need to say more." While speaking, they came outside the village, two maidservants waited for each other by the roadside with lamps on, and a group of them climbed to the high mountain in the south.The woman said goodbye to Wei, but she couldn't keep her in every possible way, so she left resolutely.

Wei stood hesitantly, looked up, saw the twin lights flickering, flickering, and finally disappeared in the distance, could no longer see clearly, unhappy, and returned disappointed.

It was night, and the lights on the top of the mountain were not extinguished, and all the people in the village could see it.
