Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Zong Xiangruo of Huzhou is also a scholar.I went to inspect the fields in autumn, and saw the seedlings shaking in the depths. I was puzzled, and when I got closer, I saw a man and a woman in the field.Zong Xiangruo laughed it off, the man looked ashamed, got up and dressed, and left in a hurry.The woman also stood up slowly, with a beautiful appearance. Zong Xiangruo felt good about her and wanted to get close to her. He stretched out his hand to dust off the woman, and said, "Have fun in the wild, are you happy?"

The woman smiled and said nothing, Zong Xiangruo stretched out her hand to untie her clothes, the woman's skin was soft and greasy, as smooth as creamy fat.Zong Xiangruo's heart was aroused, and he raised and lowered his hands, feeling happy in his heart. The woman smiled and said, "Bookworm, have you touched enough? The girl is in a good mood right now, so you can do whatever you want." Zong Xiangruo asked, "What's your name?" The woman Said: "There was a spring breeze, and they went their separate ways. Why do you ask my name? Are you planning to build a chastity memorial archway?"

Zong Xiangruo said: "Wild fields and weeds are sexually intermingled. This is what pig herders do. I am not used to it. Girls are born with beauty, even if they meet privately, they should respect themselves. Why should they be so hasty?" The woman agreed with the words, and laughed: "To be blunt, I don't like deviousness."

Zong Xiangruo said: "The study is not far from here. If the girl is interested, don't let me go and sit there." The woman said: "I have been out for a long time, I am afraid others will suspect it. Come back in the evening." Ask the location of the study, leave and leave .It was night, and the woman really came, and the two were lingering and happy with each other.This relationship has been going on for several months without outsiders knowing about it.

Coincidentally, there was a foreign monk who lived in the temple at the head of the village. He ran into Zong by chance, and said in surprise: "Young master has evil spirits, did you encounter a monster?" When you are sick, the woman comes to visit every night, carrying fruit with her, and she is very attentive, just like a husband and wife.It's just that after going to bed, they must be forced to have sex. Zong Xiangruo was ill and couldn't bear it. He suspected that the woman was not human, but he couldn't make her leave. I am entangled, and I am really sick today, so it can be seen that the monk's words are not false. Tomorrow, I will invite him to come to see a doctor, and ask for a few spells." The woman changed color tragically when she heard the words, and Zong became more and more suspicious when she saw this.

The next day, Zong sent someone to tell the monk the truth and asked him to try to capture the woman. The monk smiled and said: "This is a fox demon. His skill is not very strong, so it is not difficult to deal with." He wrote two talismans and said: " After returning home, prepare a jar, put it in front of the bed, and seal the mouth of the jar with a magic talisman. When the fox enters the jar, immediately cover it with an iron basin, stick a talisman on the basin, and put them into the fire to cook together , the fox demon will surely die."

The family kept them in mind one by one, and prepared props after returning home.In the middle of the night, the woman came to visit as scheduled, took out a few kumquats from her bosom, and said, "Bookworm, look what I brought you?" , inhale the woman.The family members jumped forward, covered the jar with an iron basin, pasted a magic talisman, and prepared to cook it with fire.

Seeing kumquats all over the ground, Zong Xiangruo was very moved when he thought of the girl's friendship in the past, and shouted: "Stop! Husband and wife have been kind for a day, please forgive her this time." The family had no choice but to take off the magic talisman.The woman escaped from the altar, looking embarrassed, kowtowed to thank: "Hundred years of practice, almost turned into ashes. My son has a good conscience, I will repay you." After speaking, she disappeared.

A few days later, Zong's condition worsened and his life was hanging by a thread. His family members went to the market to buy a coffin and prepare for the funeral.On the way home, I met a fox demon. The woman asked: "Are you a relative of the Zong family?" The family said: "Yes." The woman said: "Young Master Zong is my cousin. I'm busy with work, so I can't get away from it all the time. By the way, I have a potion of elixir with me, please give it to my cousin."

The family members took the elixir, returned to the mansion, and informed Zong about it.Zong Xiangruo thought to himself: "I don't have a cousin, needless to say, it must be the fox demon repaying his favor." After taking the prescription, his condition really improved, and he recovered within ten days.I am grateful for the friendship of the fox demon in my heart, and hope to meet her again.

That night, Zong was drinking alone behind closed doors. Suddenly there was a sound of snapping fingers from the window. Zong Xiangruo went out of the house to check, and saw the fox girl with a smile on her face, pretty in front of her eyes.Zong Xiangruo was overjoyed, grabbed the fox girl by the arm, invited her into the house, and had a drink together.

The fox girl said: "Since the separation, I have been brooding in my heart, and I always want to repay the kindness of the young master. Now that I have found a good spouse for the young master, I finally let go of one of my worries." Zong Xiangruo asked: "Who is the woman? "The fox girl said: "The secret must not be leaked. Tomorrow, the son can go to the South Lake. There are many water chestnut girls in the lake. One of them is wearing a white gauze. She is the son's wife. Once the son sees this girl, don't If you are in doubt, just go forward and show your love. If she disappears, don’t worry, look for it with your heart, and it’s not difficult to find: there is a short-stemmed lotus among the lotus leaves, pick it up and bring it home, grill it with candles, and you will embrace the beauty Return, and it will prolong your life."

Zong Xiangruo was taught, and then the fox girl got up and left. Zong Xiangruo tried hard to persuade him to stay, and the fox girl said: "Since I experienced the last catastrophe, I have realized the Dao. I will never confuse men again, son, please respect yourself." After finishing speaking, he disappeared.

The next day, Zong Xiangruo went to Nanhu Lake. Among the thousands of hectares of waves, there was a girl with long hair, wearing a white gauze, with a peerless appearance.Zong rowed a boat close to him, but the girl suddenly disappeared.Pulling aside the lotus leaves, there is indeed a short-stem red lotus, less than a foot long.Without further hesitation, Zong Xiangruo gently broke off the lotus and took it home.

After entering the door, Zong Xiangruo put the lotus on the table, fetched candles, and was about to bake.Turning around suddenly, the lotus flower has turned into a beautiful woman. Zongmou was overwhelmed with surprise and prostrated herself on the ground. The girl said, "Scholar infatuated, I am a fox demon. Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" Zong Xiangruo shook his head and said, "No." The woman Sighing: "Who taught you to do this?" Zong Xiangruo said: "I have the ability to find girls myself, why do I need others to teach me?"

While speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull the girl's arm, and the girl fell to the ground, turning into a strange rock, about a foot high, with exquisite faces.Zong Xiangruo picked up the stone, respectfully placed it on the table, and burned incense to pay his respects.In the blink of an eye, it was late at night, and Zong closed the door and locked the windows, fearing that the girl would escape.The next day at dawn, I woke up and saw that the stone had turned into a white gauze again, and the gauze was fragrant, which could be smelled from a distance.

Zong Xiangruo hugged Shayi in his arms and went to bed to rest, thinking about the girlish demeanor in his mind.At night, Zong Xiangruo got up to light the lamp, and when he turned back again, Shayi had turned into a girl again. Zong Xiangruo was overjoyed, fearing that the girl would change back and forth, he begged bitterly, hoping to kiss Fangze.

The girl smiled and said: "Nie Yuan! I don't know who is talking too much and leaking my tracks. It is really a headache to be entangled by you now." She no longer refused.The two had sex in bed, and when they had sex, the girl seemed unbearable and repeatedly begged for mercy, but Zong Xiangruo refused to listen.

The girl said angrily: "If you don't let go, I'm leaving." Zong Xiangruo was afraid, so he stopped fighting.Since then, the two have lived together and have a harmonious relationship.There is a lot of gold and silver in the house, and I don't know where the girl got it from.The girl is not very talkative, and when she meets her family, she just nods and smiles.

After ten months, the girl's belly bulges, and her childbirth is imminent.Counting the days by myself, when the day of delivery came, the husband and wife hid in the room and closed the doors and windows.The girl took out a sharp knife, cut open the belly, took out the baby, and then wrapped the wound with silk. After one night, the wound healed.

Another six or seven years later, the girl said to Zong Xiangruo: "You and I have come to an end, and we will part from now on." Zong Xiangruo burst into tears and cried: "When the girl married me, the family was very poor. It is all thanks to the support of the lady. The family is getting richer and they have just had a good few days, so why are they leaving all of a sudden? Besides, the lady has no relatives, so if the child grows up, if he doesn't know who the biological mother is, wouldn't it be a big shame?"

The girl sighed and said: "There are gatherings and parting, this is human nature. My son's lucky star is shining brightly, and my husband has a lifespan of a hundred years. What more can I ask for? What's the original surname of the concubine? If one day misses me, just take out the gauze clothes , calling out 'Three Ladies of the Lotus Flower', I will show up by myself. Don't stay any longer, I'm going."

Zong Xiangruo was surprised when the girl flew away. Zong jumped up in a hurry, stretched out his hand to pull his wife, and took off an embroidered shoe hastily. With a ding, the embroidered shoe fell to the ground and turned into a stone swallow. , red like cinnabar, crystal clear inside and outside.

If Zong Xiang kept Shi Yan in the wooden box, whenever he missed the girl in the future, he would take out the gauze clothes and call "Third Lady", the gauze clothes moved in response to the sound, and transformed into a girl, her appearance was the same as before, but she couldn't say.
