Ghost Story of Liaozhai

On this day, Ma Jiefu paid a sudden visit, and Yang Wanshi secretly told his family not to let Yin Shi know about it.Ma Jiefu was very surprised to see old man Yang in ragged clothes, and he was even more sad when he heard that Yang Wanzhong committed suicide by throwing himself into a well.Xi'er heard about Ma Jiefu's arrival, and came to see him, calling "Uncle Ma", and fell in love with him.

Ma Jiefu didn't recognize him for a while, he took a closer look, and said in surprise: "My good boy, why are you so emaciated?" He said: "I used to say that you are weak, and it is true. Xi'er was humiliated, why didn't you stand up and uphold justice? Yang's lineage, only the only flesh and blood left, if you are killed by a shrew, what will you do then?"

Yang Wanshi kept silent, just bowed his head and listened, and kept crying.After a while, the news spread to Yin's ears. When Yin heard that Ma Jiefu was coming, she was frightened and angry, but she had suffered from him, so she didn't dare to come forward to drive him away, so she called Yang Wanshi into the room and fanned her husband. Several slaps and ordered him to deal with Ma.

Yang Wanshi burst into tears, and the palm marks on his face did not fade away. When Ma Jiefu saw it, he said angrily: "You are really useless, a daughter-in-law is so overbearing, beating her father and killing her brother, and you can bear it. Are you still a human being?" I divorced her a long time ago." Yang Wanshi's expression was moved when he heard this, and Ma Jiefu provoked him with words, "If the shrew refuses to leave, she should argue with reason, threaten and intimidate, these methods can be used. Take a step back and say, Even if you kill her, don't worry, I have someone in the court to guarantee that you will be fine."

Yang Wanshi promised without hesitation, and entered the house in a fit of anger, just in time to meet his wife, Yin scolded: "Coward, what do you want?" Hearing this, he was furious, and looked for sticks everywhere, desperately trying to find Yang.Yang Wanshi was terrified and fled in embarrassment.

Ma Jiefu hated that iron cannot be made into steel, and cursed: "You are really hopeless." While speaking, he opened the bamboo box, took out a dose of medicinal powder, dissolved it in water, and said: "This is 'Husband Zaizao San', the reason why I dare not use it lightly, It's just because the power is too great, and now I have no choice but to act in a hurry."

Yang Wanshi drank the medicine powder in one gulp, only to feel that his whole body was burning with anger, which was unbearable, and he burst into the bedroom with a loud cry like thunder, like a gust of wind.Seeing him go and come back, Yin Shi was about to reprimand her when Yang Wanshi kicked Yin Shi in the chest and kicked her several somersaults.

Yin's body was covered with wounds, and he couldn't help but curse.Yang Wanshi reached into his waist and drew out his saber. Yin's face remained unchanged, and he said coldly, "Coward, do you dare to kill me?" Slap and throw it on the ground.Yin Shi suffered from pain, felt uneasy, and begged for mercy.Yang Wanshi refused to listen, moved his wrist again, and cut off another piece of muscle.

The family members saw that Yang Wanshi was extremely violent, and if the disturbance continued, someone would be killed. They uttered a cry and worked together to drag him out.Ma Jiefu stepped forward to greet him, grabbed Yang's arm, and comforted him softly.Yang Wanshi was still angry, and repeatedly raised his knife and screamed, saying that he wanted to kill Yin Shi.Ma Jiefu waved his hand to stop.

After a while, the effect of the medicine faded away, and Yang Wanshi was so depressed that he felt lost.Ma Jiefu instructed: "Brother, don't be discouraged, revive your husband, this is the one action. The reason why you are afraid of the Yin family is not an overnight achievement, but a subtle result. Now that you are reborn from the ashes, you should go all out and subdue the shrew. If there is slack, all previous efforts will be wasted."

Yang Wanshi nodded in agreement, and entered the room again with the knife. Yin's legs trembled and his heart shuddered. With the help of the maid, he barely stood up.Yang Wanshi suppressed his anger, waved his hands and said: "No, from now on, behave yourself, otherwise, I want you to look good." Although the words were strong, there was no reason in his heart, and he left in a hurry.

After coming out, I mentioned this to Ma, and everyone was very happy. The father and son regained power and celebrated.Ma Jiefu bid farewell and wanted to leave, father and son asked to stay together, Ma Jiefu said: "I have to rush to Donghai to attend the meeting, I can't stay any longer. We will meet each other later when we have the chance."

In the blink of an eye, more than a month later, Yin's injuries recovered and she devoted herself to serving Yang.After a long time, Yin's family gradually realized: Since the last time he became famous, he has been at the end of his rope, and it is not terrible.So he reverted to his old ways, or laughed or scolded, and didn't pay attention to Yang at all.

Old man Yang couldn't bear it, and in a fit of anger, he went to Henan and became a Taoist priest.Yang Wanshi was cowardly by nature, seeing his father run away from home, he was indifferent and did not dare to go out to look for him.

A year later, Ma Jiefu came to the door again, and when he learned what had happened, he was furious and reprimanded Yang Wanshi severely, then called Xi'er, carried him on the donkey's back, and the two rode away at a gallop.

Since then, the villagers all despise Yang's behavior and look down on him one after another.Huifeng Xueshi went to the countryside to inspect the students, and when he learned that Yang's conduct was not correct, he was immediately removed from his status as a scholar.Four or five years later, the Yang family's house was caught in a fire, and the house was full of belongings and turned into ashes. The fire spread to the neighbors and burned down the house next door. Life is difficult, and as a last resort, I can only beg everywhere.

The neighbors hated Yang for being a person, and no one would help her. The Yin brothers also looked down on her character, refused to accept her, and refused to let her go home.Yang Wanshi was poor, so he sold the Wang family into a wealthy family, and he took the Yin family all the way south.After going to Henan, because Yang was penniless, Yin refused to follow her, and kept saying that she would remarry.It happened that there was a butcher who was widowed and lived alone. He bought Yin's family with three hundred copper coins.

Yang Wanshi begged alone and lived outside.One day, I came to a wealthy family and went to beg for food, but the gatekeeper refused to let me in. During the dispute, an official heard the sound, and Yang Wanshi cried on the ground. The official looked at him for a long time and asked his name. Yang Wanshi told the truth.

The official was taken aback, and said, "Isn't this uncle? Why did you come here?" Yang Wanshi took a closer look, and found that the official was none other than Xi'er. When relatives met, they burst into tears.Xi'er brought him into the hospital. Yang Wanshi saw the magnificent and resplendent residence, and felt mixed feelings in his heart.After a while, Xi'er came out with his grandfather. Yang Wanshi couldn't help sobbing when he saw his father for the first time.

At the beginning, Ma Jiefu took Xi'er to Henan and paid for a house for Xi'er to live in.A few days later, old man Yang was found from the Taoist temple, and the grandfather and grandson were reunited and depended on each other.Ma Jiefu hired a teacher for Xi'er to teach knowledge.Xi'er is talented and intelligent. At the age of 15, she passed the examination of scholar, and the next year she passed the examination of Juren, and married a lady from a rich family.

After finishing everything, Ma Jiefu took his leave and left. The grandfather and grandson tried their best to persuade him to stay. Ma Jiefu said: "I am not a human being, but a fox fairy. Fellow Taoists have been waiting for me for a long time." After speaking, he disappeared.

Xi'er recalled the past, and when she said this, she didn't feel sad.Thinking of my aunt who was abused by Yin's just like me in the past, I feel even more sad.So he prepared gold and silver chariots and horses, redeemed Wang's body, and took them back to live in the mansion.A year later, Wang gave birth to a son. Yang Wanshi couldn't help but propose Wang as his wife.

On the other hand, Yin Shi married a butcher and was as domineering as before.The butcher was furious, and pierced Yin's thigh with a butcher's knife, and a transparent hole was formed when the knife went down.Not only that, but the butcher used pig hair to pass through the hole and hang Yin Shi on the beam of the house to punish him.Mrs. Yin begged for mercy, but the butcher ignored him, picked up the pork, and left.Yin's wound hurt, and she cried loudly, hoarse and exhausted.Neighbors heard the news and came to the rescue. They carefully pulled out the pig hair. Every time they pulled it, Yin yelled loudly, and the sound was heard all over the world.

Since then, every time Yin Shi saw the butcher, her whole body trembled and her hairs stood on end.Although the wound healed later, the pig hair remained in the flesh, and it was still inconvenient to walk, limping, and extremely ugly.The butcher had a violent temper and was often drunk. After drinking, he would whip Yin Shi without mercy.Yin's remorse was endless, and it was only now that she realized that evil will be rewarded with evil. She abused her family members in the past, and now she is being abused personally, which can be said to be retribution.

On this day, Xi'er's wife and Wang went to Putuo Temple to offer incense, and women from neighboring villages came to pay homage.Mrs. Yin mixed in the crowd and hesitated to move forward. Mrs. Wang asked knowingly, "Who is this person?" The family replied, "She is the wife of Zhang Butcher."

Wang said with a smile, "Since this woman is a butcher's wife, she should have no shortage of meat. Why is she so thin?" Yin retreated in shame.Knowing this, the butcher intensified his efforts to torture Yin's family.

A year later, the butcher died.Once, when Yin was walking on the street, he met Yang Wanshi by chance. When he saw him from a distance, he crawled all the way to his side, crying like rain.Yang Wanshi didn't say a word because of the servant's presence.After going back, he discussed with Xi'er, and wanted to take Yin Shi back, but Xi'er was determined not to allow it.

Yin's family was cast aside by her neighbors and had nowhere to live. As a last resort, she joined beggars and begged for food.Yang Wanshi never forgets his old love, and from time to time, he goes to the ruined temple to have a tryst with the Yin family. When Xi'er knows this, he feels ashamed and secretly instigates all the beggars to humiliate Yang Wanshi severely. .
