Ghost Story of Liaozhai

An old man in Hubei, who has been doing business all year round, is on the go. His wife lives alone at night, and she seems to be harassed by a man in her dream. She wakes up in shock and sees a fox in the house, who looks like a man, short and small, and is facing him irregularly Unruly, reckless and frivolous, seeing the woman wake up, she was startled, jumped quickly, and fled away like a smoke.

The woman was terrified, and hurriedly mentioned this matter to her ten-year-old son. The son was very sensible and said, "Mother, don't be afraid. I will sleep with you tonight. If there is a fox demon coming, I will protect you."

That night, the mother and son slept together, and the son gathered his spirits and waited for the battle. He waited until midnight, but there was still no sign of the fox demon. He was slowly sleepy and started snoring unconsciously.

In the early morning of the second day, the son woke up from his dream and found that his mother was missing. He searched around anxiously and came to a woodshed. He saw his mother naked and delirious, obviously defiled by a fox demon again. , and this time the fox demon intensified, making the woman even more insane.

In the days that followed, the woman was entangled by the fox demon, and she started to go crazy, she either smiled foolishly, or beat and scolded her son with a stick. plan.

On this day, the son took wooden boards and iron nails and nailed the surroundings of the mother's bedroom tightly. He also brought a hatchet and sharpened it on the whetstone. Dare to come, I want it to look good."

At night, the fox demon really came, and his son was waiting for him. Seeing the fox demon entered the door, he hurriedly followed him and guarded the door. One man and one fox glared angrily, and saw the fox demon showing his true colors , the whole body is white hair, about the size of a wild cat.When the son saw the culprit, he couldn't help yelling, the fox demon couldn't stand it, and he opened his teeth and claws to fight the boy.The young man moved swiftly, he fell with the hatchet in his hand, and cut off the fox's tail with one knife. The fox screamed, blood gurgling, and fled in a panic.

The young man followed the bloodstains and came to a manor. The bloodstains disappeared. After a little thought, he knew it well, "It seems that this is the lair of the fox demon. Since the dead fox demon was injured, he must be hiding and healing now." It doesn't matter, the monk can't escape the temple if he can escape, and after a few days, the fox demon will definitely come out to do evil again, and I won't be able to spare it then."

So when I got home, I saw that my mother was as mad as before, and she didn't get better. She frowned and thought, "It seems that the fox demon will not be cured, and the mother's condition will never recover."

Soon, the boy's father came back. Seeing his wife's haggard face and confused mind, the old businessman asked for medical medicine and took a few prescriptions. The condition was slightly controlled, but still could not be completely eradicated.

That night, the young man came to the manor to investigate again. He could only hear the sound of footsteps. Three men came over, two young masters and a servant. , never forget.

Only the two sons could be heard whispering, but they didn't know what to say.After half an hour, the two sons walked away, and one of the sons told the servant before leaving, "Tomorrow, you can go to the downtown and steal a bottle of wine for me."

The servant Nuonuo agreed, and after the two masters left, he took off his clothes and rested on a boulder with his eyes closed. The young man looked at the servant by the moonlight, and saw that the servant's limbs and appearance were no different from ordinary people, but there was a strip behind his buttocks. Tail, the young man's heart moved, he was ready, and he had already figured out a strategy to deal with the fox demon.

As soon as the next day dawned, the boy pestered his father to play in the streets. When the father and son came to the downtown, the boy pointed to a fur shop and said to his father, "Daddy, buy me a fox tail." No, I agree immediately.

The boy put the fox's tail in his arms, and took advantage of his father's unpreparedness, stole a few copper coins from him, went to the hotel to buy a pot of liquor, and told the shopkeeper, "Boss, I will store the liquor here first, and come and get it later." After finishing the instructions, I remembered that my uncle and aunt's house was not far away, so I decided to visit and borrow something.

When I came to my uncle's house, my uncle was very happy to hear that my little nephew had arrived. He greeted me in the hall and asked, "Son, how is your mother's condition?"

The young man said: "I've gotten better these days, uncle don't need to worry. By the way, uncle, there have been frequent rat noises in my house recently, making my mother uneasy to sleep. I came here this time to borrow rat poison from you."

My uncle was originally a hunter. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I have a lot of rat poison at home. How much do you want?"

The boy smiled and said, "There are too many mice in my house, it's better to give more."

The uncle took out a big bag of medicine powder, stuffed it into the young man's hands, and said, "Put it away, the rat poison I gave you is enough. It is so poisonous that it can kill even an elephant. Be careful when using it."

The young man put away the rat poison calmly, took his leave and left, his uncle said, "Let's go after eating."

The young man said: "Next time, my father is still waiting for me on the street." He ran all the way back to the store, got back the liquor, went to a secluded place, poured a large bag of rat poison into it, and shook it evenly.

Then he returned to the crowd and searched with his eyes. Not long after, a big man with a beard came up to him. He was the fox demon servant he saw last night. The young man was overjoyed, and quietly put the fox's tail in place, half-hiding it behind his buttocks. Banlu, grinning, stepped forward to greet the fox demon.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two got along very well, and the boy asked, "Brother, where do you live?"

The servant lied, "Beicun. How about you, where do you live?"

The boy said: "I live in a cave."

The servant didn't believe it, and said with a smile, "What a human being, why does he live in a cave, and isn't he an animal?"

The young man whispered: "My family has lived in caves for generations, brother and I are the same kind, don't you live in caves?"

The servant changed color and said, "Who is the same kind as you?"

The young man laughed and said, "You still don't admit it? I went out for a walk last night and passed by a manor. I saw my brother waiting for the two sons to drink. The three brothers all have tails behind their buttocks. Isn't it a fox demon?" He spoke slowly. Slowly pulled up his clothes, revealing the fox tail he bought, and said: "My generation is mixed with the crowd, although it can change ever-changingly, it is a pity that this thing is always difficult to hide, it is really hateful."

The servant nodded and said: "Yes, if you want to hide your tail, only a thousand-year-old fox spirit can do it. The mana of our little fox monster is still too low. By the way, young man, why are you here?"

The boy said: "I followed my father's order and went out to buy wine."

The servant said: "What a coincidence, I also followed the master's order and came out to buy wine."

"Did you buy it?"

"I'm waiting for the little fox demon. I have no money. Where can I get the money to buy wine? I have to steal it."

"Is it human to do the job of stealing wine? Be afraid."

"The master has a life, what can I do?"

"Who is your master?"

"It's the two young masters you saw last night. One of these two fell in love with the daughter-in-law of the Wang family in Beicun, and the other fell in love with the wife of an old man in Dongcun. Unfortunately, the old man's son is too hateful. He chopped off his master's tail with a knife and will raise him for more than ten days. I'm recovering. Well, I have to go after talking to you so much. Otherwise, the master will punish me if I delay stealing wine."

The young man said: "Stealing alcohol is too dangerous, it is easier than buying alcohol. I just bought a bottle of liquor, if you don't mind, I will give it to my brother."

The servant smiled and said, "How dare you? You gave me the liquor, what should you do?"

The young man said: "It doesn't matter, I still have some scraps of silver with me, just go and buy another bottle. Dude, I feel very attracted to you the moment I see you, I have to accept this bottle of liquor no matter what, or you will look down on me."

The servant was overjoyed, accepted the liquor, and said gratefully: "Brother, I have made you a friend. I have the opportunity to invite you to drink. There will be a date later, so I will leave." After speaking, he went away on his own.

That night, the teenage mother stopped going crazy and went to bed quietly.The young man was proud, "The strategy has succeeded." At dawn, he took his father to the manor to investigate, and saw two foxes dead on the ground, with blood still flowing from their mouths.The wine bottle was still next to the corpse, and there was still a small half bottle of wine left in it.

The young man told his father the whole story. The old businessman was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile, "Son, you are really capable. Why didn't you tell me about such a good plan?"

The young man shook his head and smiled, "Foxes are the most cunning. If the news is leaked, the plan will fail."

The old businessman said with a smile: "My son is amazing, not inferior to Chen Ping in the past."

The father and son talked and laughed, and carried the two fox corpses home. One of the foxes had its tail broken in half. It was the culprit who humiliated the young mother. <ren, who is proficient in riding horses and shooting arrows, has been an official and has been the general soldier.
