Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Feng Yunting, Tai Xingren, widowed at a young age.On this day, I went to the county town for business, stayed in an inn in the evening, and was lonely all night.Suddenly, an image of a woman appeared on the wall, frowning and sticking out her tongue, with a rope around her neck, slowly landing on the ground.Feng Yunting was surprised and thought, "This must be a hanged ghost." However, the blue sky and white sun were not afraid, and said: "Is the lady wronged? If there is something useful, just speak up."

The woman said: "We met by chance, so I dare not bother you, sir. But there is a small matter, I would like to ask you for your help. When I was hanged on the beam, my tongue could not be retracted, and the rope could not be removed. Please cut off the beam and burn it with fire. The little girl can escape from the sea of ​​suffering. The great kindness and great virtue will never be forgotten."

Feng Yunting agreed, and the next day he mentioned the matter to the shop owner, who said: "More than ten years ago, this was originally the Mei family's residence. One night, a certain thief broke into the house and was caught by Master Mei and sent to the police. The county magistrate charged The thief bribed, slandered Miss Mei for having an affair with him, and sent someone to arrest him. Miss Mei was so angry that she hanged herself in order to prove her innocence. Master Mei and his wife couldn’t stand the blow, and they died one after another. The little old man spent 500 taels of silver , bought the house and opened a hotel. Ever since it opened, the shop has been haunted by ghosts. Many Taoist priests were invited to suppress it, but all were in vain. If the beams of the house were burned down, Miss Mei could regain her freedom, and the little old man was willing to help. It’s just a good house, just burn it like this, the loss is too great, and the small business has a small profit, and it is really unaffordable.”

Feng Yunting said: "How much loss I have, it's all on my head." The shop owner laughed and said: "I am relieved if you have what you say, young master." The two of them cut off the beams of the house together and set it on fire. into ashes.

At night, Ms. Mei appeared again, saluted with all blessings, and sincerely thanked her.Seeing her graceful figure, Feng Yunting was overjoyed and wanted to have fun with her.Miss Mei said: "People and ghosts are lingering, and dark energy enters the body, which will shorten the life of your son. I can't harm you. Besides, the reason why I committed suicide was to preserve my reputation. If I have sex with you without a matchmaker, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" ? Jumping into the Yellow River can't clean it up. You and I are destined, and I will be yours sooner or later. The future is long, so don't be so impatient."

Feng Yunting said: "Come to Japan? Then when will it be?" Miss Mei smiled and did not answer.Feng Yunting asked: "Can you drink alcohol?" Miss Mei said: "No." Feng Yunting said: "The beautiful woman is by my side, can you watch and eat, how should I pass the long night?" Miss Mei said: " Do you want to play a horse crane?" Feng Yunting said: "Two people playing, what's the point?" Miss Mei said: "How about turning the thread?" Feng Yunting said: "Children's stuff is not interesting. "Miss Mei laughed and said, "What's the harm in playing?" While speaking, she took out a red thread and played it with her ten fingers, changing various shapes, dazzled and amazed.Feng Yunting praised: "Good technique! This level is enough to be unrivaled in the world." Ms. Mei said: "These graphics were all thought of slowly when I was bored by myself. My lord praises it absurdly, and I dare not take it for granted."

The two played for a while, and the night was dark, Miss Mei said: "It's not early, please go to bed and rest." Feng Yunting smiled and said: "You sleep with me." Miss Mei shook her head and said: "I am a female ghost, Don't need to sleep. Don't think about it, go to bed." Feng Yunting said angrily, "I can't sleep." Miss Mei smiled and said, "Can't sleep? It's okay. I have learned massage to stretch your muscles and bones so that you will not wake up from a deep sleep." Put out your hands, gently knead Feng Yunting's back, massage back and forth from head to toe, where your hands pass, Feng Yunting's flesh and blood are refreshed, and his whole body feels comfortable, and he snores loudly in a moment.

The next day when he woke up, it was already noon, Feng Yunting only felt energetic, secretly amazed, he grew more and more in love with Miss Mei, circling around the room, calling her name, but there was no response.At night, Miss Mei finally showed up. Feng Yunting asked, "Where do you live? Why did you call me all afternoon and ignore me?" It's underground." Feng Yunting said: "The ground is extremely hard and seamless, how can it fit in?" Miss Mei said: "The connection between ghosts and the earth is like fish and water. Fish can survive in water, and ghosts can naturally live in it." Underground dwelling."

Feng Yunting remained silent, and said for a while: "The underground is dark and humid, and there is no sunlight all day. This kind of life must be very bitter." Miss Mei sighed: "Then what can I do?" Feng Yunting held her hand, and said: "If there is a way to bring the girl back to life, I will lose my family and property, I will not hesitate." Miss Mei smiled and said, "There is no need to lose your family and property."

The two played around until midnight, Feng Yunting was full of lust and wanted to get close to the woman, Miss Mei waved her hand and said: "Don't pester me, if you are really lonely, I have a new neighbor named Aiqing, a Singer, very personable. As long as you are not afraid of female ghosts, how about asking her to accompany you tomorrow night?" Feng Yunting said: "I have always kept my distance from female ghosts, but beautiful female ghosts are another matter, okay. , so it’s settled.” <I mean.The three of them sat together playing the horse hanging, unaware of the time flies, Miss Mei got up and said: "I have something to do, I'm leaving first." After finishing speaking, it drifted away.

After Miss Mei left, the two of them went to bed and had an indescribable joy.Feng Yunting asked about Aiqing's family background, the young woman was vague and perfunctory, refused to reveal, and said: "If the young master misses me in the future, just tap the north wall with your finger and call out the word 'huluzi', and I will come. If there is no response after calling three times, then I must not be free, so there is no need to call again." At dawn the next day, the young woman burrowed into the wall and disappeared.

It was night, Miss Mei came lightly, Feng Yunting asked Aiqing's whereabouts, Miss Mei said: "She was invited by Mr. Gao to accompany her for a drink, so she didn't come." Seemingly asking for something, Feng Yunting asked again and again, Miss Mei just sighed and refused to speak out.Feng Yunting was confused and thought, "Maybe she wants me to avenge her, but why doesn't she say it outright? Yes, we don't have a deep relationship, so she's too embarrassed to speak up. Hey, his enemy officer Ju County Magistrate, even if I want to help, I am powerless." Thinking of this, I feel depressed.

Since then, the two have met every night, and Ai Qing also comes to the appointment from time to time, and the inn is full of laughter, which is well known to everyone.Things spread slowly, and finally reached the county magistrate's ears.The county magistrate was originally from Zhejiang. His wife had an affair with a servant, so he divorced her in a fit of anger, and married a concubine named Gu.

Gu's life was short, and he died immediately after getting married for more than a month.

The county magistrate missed the concubine very much, and when he heard that Feng Yunting could communicate with the female ghost, he paid a special visit and asked him to try to find out the whereabouts of the concubine.Feng Yunting said: "I don't have this ability myself, so I have to ask a friend for help." While speaking, he reached out to knock on the wall, and called out "Hu Luzi, Hu Luzi." As soon as he finished speaking, Aiqing appeared.

When Aiqing saw the county magistrate, her face changed color and she turned around to leave. The county magistrate was also furious, so she grabbed a huge bowl and smashed it out forcefully.Ai Qing twisted her figure and disappeared.Feng Yunting turned pale in shock, not knowing why the county magistrate got angry, and was about to ask, an old woman suddenly walked out of the room, holding a wooden stick, pointed at the county magistrate, and cursed: "Corrupt official, almost hurt my girl, hurry up!" Lose money." Wielding the wooden stick, aiming at the county magistrate's head, he beat him hard.

The county magistrate held his head in pain, and said: "The diva just now was my wife, Gu Shi, who died at a young age. I was deeply in love with her, and I missed her riri. Who knew she would meet a man behind my back. I taught my wife a lesson. What does it matter to you?" The old woman said: "Corrupt official, you are just a rogue in Zhejiang. You bought a ninth-rank official with money, and dare to turn black and white, regardless of right and wrong? Let me ask you, did you kill Miss Mei's family?" Huh, you have committed a lot of evil, and your death is approaching. Your parents begged in front of Hades, willing to sell their daughter-in-law into a brothel to atone for your sins, don't you know?"

While the two were arguing, Miss Mei came out quickly, seeing the county magistrate, she opened her eyes and stuck out her tongue, filled with anger, reached out and took out the silver hairpin, pointed it at the county magistrate's ear, stabbed randomly, Feng Yunting persuaded: "Although he is guilty, but he died in the inn, I'm afraid it will implicate me." Miss Mei nodded and said: "Okay, for the sake of my son, let him live a few more hours."

The county magistrate was lucky enough to escape, and ran away with his head in his arms. When he returned home, his ears hurt unbearably, and he died in the middle of the night.

The next night, Ms. Mei came again and said with a smile: "Happy! The corrupt official has been killed, and finally let out the anger in his chest, 16 years of grievances, and once he got the snow." Feng Yunting smiled and said: "Congratulations, the revenge will be avenged .By the way, who is that old woman?"

Miss Mei said: "She is a procuress." Feng Yunting nodded and asked, "Where's Ai Qing? Why didn't she come?" Miss Mei said, "She's sick, but she's fine, you don't have to Worried." Feng Yunting asked again: "What are you going to do in the future?"

Miss Mei blushed slightly, and said, "My lord, do you still remember the oath you made that day? You once said that as long as you can bring me back to life..." Feng Yunting interjected, "I don't hesitate to lose my family and property. I will always remember this sentence In my heart, how could I forget? Say, how do you want me to help you?"

Miss Mei said: "To tell you the truth, my lord, the day my concubine committed suicide, she went to Yan'an to reincarnate at the home of a scholar. It's just that the big revenge has not been avenged, and it has been delayed until now. Please buy a new bolt of cloth and make a package, and the concubine will hide in it." , and go to Yan'an with the young master to propose marriage, and everything will be accomplished."

Feng Yunting agreed, and Ms. Mei said again: "This is going to Yan'an. Don't meet me on the way. When the young master and Miss Zhan's bridal chamber, just hang the cloth bag on the new daughter-in-law's head and call out, 'Don't forget, don't forget. 'Four words, I will be resurrected myself.'

Feng Yunting remembered everything in his heart, and immediately set off for Yan'an, and asked someone, there was a scholar here, his daughter was sixteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, but she was demented, and she would stick her tongue out of her lips from time to time, looking very is scary.

Feng Yunting entrusts a matchmaker to come to propose a marriage. Zhan Xiucai is worried that his daughter will not be able to get married, so he immediately agrees when he hears this, and the two families choose an auspicious day for the wedding.When Er entered the bridal chamber, the new daughter-in-law was in a daze, undressing and showing off her clothes, and kept giggling at Feng, showing no shame at all.

Feng Yunting took out the cloth bag, put it on Miss Zhan's head, and shouted: "Don't forget, don't forget." Miss Zhan heard this, frowned and thought hard, and looked at Feng for a while, Feng Yunting smiled and said: "You Don't you recognize me?" Miss Zhan cried out as if waking up from a dream, "You are Mr. Feng." The two looked at each other with affection, and they couldn't help but be delighted that the lovers would finally get married.
