Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Jin Shengse, from Jinning, married Ms. Tongcunmu as his wife and gave birth to a son who just turned one year old.Jin Shengse suddenly contracted a strange disease, knowing that he was going to die soon, he said to his wife, "After I die, you don't have to be a widow, and you are allowed to remarry." Miss Mu vowed that she would never betray her.Jin Shengse interrupted her with a wave of his hand, and said to his mother: "Grandson Abao, he is young and ignorant. After I die, I will trouble my mother to take care of her. As for the daughter-in-law, you can stay as you like, you don't have to force yourself."

Mother Jin nodded while weeping.Then Jin Shengse passed away, and his mother-in-law came to offer her condolences. After crying for a while, she said to Jin's mother, "A calamity fell from heaven, and unfortunately my son-in-law died shortly. My daughter is just young, what should I do?" Resentful, he said angrily, "Let her be a widow."

The mother-in-law retreated in shame, and slept with her daughter at night, persuading: "There are many good men. My daughter is unparalleled in beauty, so why worry about not having a husband? How about remarrying early while you are young, and guarding the infant baby all day, isn't it stupid? ? If your mother-in-law insists on keeping your chastity, you don’t have to show her a good face.” Coincidentally, the mother-in-law passed by the door, listening to her mother-in-law’s words one by one, and becoming more and more annoyed.

The next day, Jin's mother said to her mother-in-law: "The son made a will before his death, and he didn't make his wife a widow. But his bones are not cold, so you can't wait to let your daughter remarry, so you must keep it." The mother-in-law was furious and left bitterly. .

That night, Mother of Jin dreamed of her son Tuomeng, and said: "My wife wants to remarry, let him go." Mother of Jin didn't insist anymore, so she said to Miss Mu: "When your son is buried, whether to marry or keep him is up to you. "

The family invited a sorcerer to show their son Feng Shui. The sorcerer said, "It's not good for burial within this year." Mother Jin had no choice but to temporarily store her son's coffin in the hall.

Miss Mu couldn't bear the loneliness, and even though she was in mourning, she still put on makeup and was ready to marry at any time.In her mother-in-law's house, Shang Zhi restrained herself and only wore plain clothes. Once she returned to her mother's house, she immediately dressed up and showed off her beauty.Mother Jin knew about this, and was depressed, but remembering her son's deathbed instructions, she could only bear it.Miss Mu pushes forward and becomes more presumptuous.

Village rascal Dong Gui, coveting Miss Mu's beauty, bribed the neighbor's old lady with gold and silver, asked her to be a matchmaker, and created an opportunity for himself to meet the beauty.That night, the rascals climbed over the wall from the old lady's house and came to Miss Mu's bedroom to have sex with each other.After fooling around for more than ten days, the scandal spread throughout the village, and everyone knew about it, except Jin Mu who kept it hidden.

Miss Mu has only one confidant maid by her side.That night, the two of them were lingering on each other, when they suddenly heard a shock in the coffin, the sound was like firecrackers.The maid was waiting outside, only to see Jin Shengse crawling out of the coffin, holding a sharp sword, and breaking into the bedroom.

After a while, the screams of Jian and his wife came from the room.Not long after, Dong Gui ran out naked, and Jin Shengse grabbed his wife's hair and chased after him.His wife yelled, her voice was shrill, and Jin's mother got up in surprise. Seeing that Miss Mu was completely naked, she walked into the courtyard, reached out to open the gate, waved her hands, and shouted: "Master, spare me, spare me."

Mother Jin was full of doubts, "Has my son come? Why can't I see it? Yes, he is a ghost, and I am a human being. Humans and ghosts are different, so naturally I can't see her." Seeing Miss Mu break through the door, she disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The golden mother sighed, turned back to the house, and went straight to the daughter-in-law's bedroom, only to see the bright lights in the room, a pair of men's cloth shoes under the bed, and she felt cold, "No, my daughter-in-law is out of the wall." She called the maid's name, and the maid trembled She walked out in shock, and told the truth in every detail. When Jin Mu heard the words, she was angry and disappointed at the same time.

Dong Gui escaped by chance, jumped over the wall and fled into the courtyard of the neighbor's house, hid under the corner of the wall, not daring to make a sound, after a long while, the surroundings were silent, Dong Gui slowly stood up, naked, the cold wind blew in, trembling all over , I thought: "The old lady next door has taken my money, so I might as well borrow a dress from her." Taking a closer look, I saw a bedroom in the yard with the door ajar, so I slipped in.Crawling on the bed in the dark, touching a woman's slender feet with both hands, he thought: "I heard that the old lady has a beautiful daughter-in-law, who just happens to kiss her, and take advantage of it."

Thinking of this, lust overflowed, and immediately got into the quilt, the woman on the bed woke up suddenly, and asked: "Sir, are you back?" Dong Gui lied casually, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I'm back." The woman does not doubt that she has him, and she is at the mercy of the rogue, and the two are lingering, endlessly in love.

At the beginning, a woman's husband went out on business, and before leaving, he told his wife, "Don't lock the door, wait until I come back." Not long after, when the husband came back, he heard groans in the room, and was furious. He took a spear and rushed in. Seeing Dong Gui With a flustered expression, he got under the bed, how could he be polite?The spear stabbed out, and Dong Gui was stabbed to death immediately with one blow.

The husband was still angry, and was about to ask his wife to settle the score. The wife wept and said, "This is all a misunderstanding. I misunderstood the wrong person. I made a mistake without intention. The crime is not worthy of death." her once.At that moment, they lit a candle, called their mother, and dragged Dong Gui's body out from under the bed, only to see that his face was covered with blood, his face was hard to recognize, his breath was dying, and he was not completely dead.Asked where he came from, Dong Gui confessed one by one, but the wound was bleeding profusely, and after a while, he closed his eyes and died.

The old lady panicked and said to her son: "If you catch a gun and a couple, you've already killed the husband, so if you don't do it, you can't stop doing it." The son had no idea, so in desperation, he killed his wife again.

On the other hand, Jin Shengse took his wife away, knocked her out, and threw her into the peach garden of his father-in-law's home.It was night, and the father-in-law was sleeping in the room. Suddenly there was noise outside the window. The noise continued. He got out of bed and went out to check.This man is naturally Jin Shengse.

The fire had just been ignited, but the fire was not strong. Master Mu directed his men to put out the fire and quickly brought the situation under control.Seeing the murderer lingering around, unwilling to leave for a long time, he immediately shouted: "Copy guy, catch me."

All the servants rushed forward with knives and bows. The murderer laughed, and suddenly jumped over the wall and jumped into the peach garden. He moved quickly and disappeared in a blink of an eye.Master Mu led his men and rushed into the Taoyuan with a murderous look. The walls around the Taoyuan were solid. Several servants took ladders to climb the wall and searched intently, but there was no trace of the murderer.

Suddenly something under the corner of the wall moved slightly, and everyone asked: "Who is it?" After a long time, there was no response.Master Mu gave an order: "Shoot the arrow".In an instant, the arrows flew wildly, only to hear a scream from the object under the corner, and the voice seemed to be a woman.Master Mu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted: "Stop! Quick, quick, light the lamp, light the lamp."

All the family members lighted the lanterns, looked carefully under the light, and saw a woman who was completely naked, her head and chest were completely pierced by arrows, her complexion was pale, her breath was like gossamer, it was none other than Miss Mu.

Master Mu accidentally killed his beloved daughter, he was so sad that he couldn't live, he shouted: "Pull the arrow, stop the bleeding." But the arrow pierced through the brain, and all the servants tried their best to stomp on it and pull it with their hands. Tired and exhausted, he finally pulled out the arrow.Miss Mu could only hear her groaning feebly, the back of her head was bleeding like a fountain, her neck was tilted, she was dead.

Master Mu was heartbroken and wanted to die.At dawn the next day, I told Mother of Jin about this and asked for forgiveness. Mother of Jin was expressionless and sighed, "You have committed your own crimes, so you cannot live." She briefly described Miss Mu's cheating, and finally said: "This is the end of the matter, and it is useless to be sad. , Hurry up and bury the dead, and let the mourning go smoothly."

On the other hand, the son of the neighbor's old lady killed two people in a row, feeling uneasy, so he surrendered himself.The county magistrate beat him several times and released him immediately.The old lady's daughter-in-law is surnamed Ma. His brother Ma Biao is a proficient in the law. Seeing his sister's death wronged, he sued angrily.The county magistrate took the old lady into custody for interrogation. The old lady confessed truthfully, how she collected Dong Gui's silver taels, secretly matched him for him, and how Ms. Mu's biological mother instigated her daughter to remarry.

The county lord enforced the law impartially, and issued a verdict: the wooden mother and the daughter were not strict, fifty rods, and a fine of three thousand.The old lady helped the tyrant to abuse, corrupt the atmosphere, and was beaten to death with a stick.
