Ghost Story of Liaozhai

A certain scholar in Fengyang County went out to study, and told his wife, "I will be back in half a year." Who would have thought that more than ten months had passed, and there was still no news, and his wife was alone in the boudoir, and he could not help but miss him riri.

That night, when his wife was going to bed, the moonlight was shining brightly into the house. Suddenly the door curtain was lifted, and a beautiful girl in a red dress walked in.

The girl put pearl flowers on her head and said with a smile: "Lonely in the middle of the night, doesn't my sister miss my husband?"

The wife sighed, "What's the use of thinking?"

The girl said: "Go, I will take you to see him."

"You know my husband?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just follow me."

The two of them walked out the door and walked quickly in the wilderness. The girl walked like flying, but the wife gradually couldn't keep up, and said, "Hey, wait a minute, I'll go back and change my shoes."

The girl smiled and said nothing, helped her sit down on the side of the road, took off her shoes for her, and said, "Use mine."

The wife hesitated, "Then what do you do?"

The girl smiled and said: "I have thick skin and thick flesh since I was a child, so it's okay to walk barefoot, don't worry about me."

The wife nodded, and put on new shoes, the size and size of which actually matched. The two got up and hurried, and gradually came to a room.

At this moment, a man riding a donkey slowly came to meet him. When his wife saw his face, she looked happy and shouted, "Master, why is it you?"

The man was also surprised and delighted, and asked: "My lady, where are you going?"

The wife said: "I am going to find you."

The scholar pointed at the girl and asked, "Who is this girl?"

The girl smiled and said: "Don't ask me who I am, my sister has traveled a long distance, and my son is also traveling in the starry night, aren't you tired? This is my home, please come in and stay for one night, and you can leave tomorrow."

As he spoke, he led the way first, led the two of them into the courtyard, and set up a banquet to entertain them, saying: "Tonight is a bright moon in the sky, which is suitable for drinking together under the moon. The sweet-scented osmanthus is just blooming in the backyard. Let's sit there, how about?"

The scholar echoed: "Appreciating flowers and tasting wine is wonderful, wonderful."

The three of them came to sit down at a stone table in the backyard, and the servant girl served wine and food one after another. The girl whispered to his wife, "Sister, my soles are a little cold, can you return my shoes?"

When the wife heard this, she was quite embarrassed, and hurriedly returned the shoes to the girl, apologizing repeatedly.

Not long after, the food and drink were served, and the three drank a few glasses of wine. The girl said: "Young master and husband and wife reunite after a long absence, and I will offer you a glass of congratulations."

Seeing the girl's picturesque features, the scholar was a little relieved, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass to pay respects.

After drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine, the scholar's eyes were drunk and blurred, he couldn't help staring at the girl, and said some teasing gossip.The girl was not angry either, and occasionally flirted with her, which made the scholar dizzy even more.

The wife looked on coldly, although she was unhappy, but she was gentle and virtuous, she just kept silent and did not have an attack.

The scholar's lust was overflowing, and his words became more and more frivolous and explicit. It happened that the girl came to persuade him to drink again. The scholar smiled and said: "My lady, please sing me a song, so I will drink this glass of wine."

The girl agreed, and while playing the pipa, she sang softly and sang: "Take off the makeup at dusk, the westerly wind outside the window is cold through the gauze. Listen to the sound of bananas, and it will rain in bursts. Where can I chat with others?" Looking forward to the autumn water, but not returning home, the tears are like numbness. I miss him and hate him at the same time, and hold the red embroidered shoes in my hand to tell ghosts."

After one song was sung, the girl smiled and said: "The common tune of the market should not be played and sung. It's just that this kind of tune is popular nowadays. If you can't sing it well, please don't make fun of me, my lord."

The scholar hurriedly said: "Where are you talking? The girl is pretty, she can play the pipa even better, and she sings the melody especially well. It's wonderful, it's beyond words."

The woman smiled slightly and said: "My family has a limited amount of alcohol, and I get drunk when I drink it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She got up and entered the house, and before leaving, she secretly cast a wink at the scholar.

The scholar understood, and hurriedly said to his wife: "Sit down first, I'll go to the bathroom." He stood up and went in a hurry.

The wife was sitting alone, miserable, feeling ashamed and annoyed in her heart, wanted to go back alone, but didn't know the way, was hesitating, suddenly heard moaning and panting from the room, couldn't bear it anymore, and walked away quietly Going to the window to listen, I can only hear the men and women in the house laughing, wanton - the husband is flattering the girl all the time, and there is an endless stream of nasty words. The most hateful thing is that these words are clearly what the husband used to say to himself when the husband and wife were happy. of.

What on earth does he mean?Shameless?

Thinking of this, the wife was so angry that her hands and feet trembled, and she gritted her teeth. She wanted to jump into the river and commit suicide.

When the siblings met, Saburo asked: "Sister, what are you doing alone in the wilderness?"

"What are you doing? Your brother-in-law is having an affair, and I'll watch out for him." The wife said angrily.

Saburo was furious when he heard the words, without saying a word, he leaped to the ground, picked up a big stone, and rushed into the yard.When he came out of the window, he heard the chattering inside, Saburo didn't even think about it, he lifted up the stone and smashed the window, with a bang, the window shattered instantly, and the boulder flew straight into the bed like lightning.

I could only hear the girl in the room screaming, her voice panicked, shouting: "Your Majesty's head has been smashed, what should I do?"

The wife was shocked when she heard this, and she blamed her younger brother, "I didn't tell you to kill someone, what should we do now?"

Saburo said angrily: "I was kind enough to vent your anger on your behalf, but you blamed me instead. Hmph, I don't care." Turned around and left.

His wife quickly grabbed his clothes and shouted, "Where are you going? If you want to go, take me with you."

Saburo ignored him, pushed his sister to the ground, and left.

The wife woke up suddenly, but it was Nankey Yimeng.

The scholar came back the next day, rode a donkey, and said to his wife, "Last night I had a strange dream." Then he babbled on, telling the dream, and his wife changed color and said, "Master, why did your dream look exactly like mine? ?”

Just as he was wondering, Saburo also came, and said upon meeting: "Brother-in-law, I dreamed that you came back last night, and it really came true today, it's really strange."

The scholar smiled and said, "Fortunately, he was not crushed to death by a boulder." Sanlang smiled sarcastically, "You know all about it?" It turned out that Sanlang also had the same dream.

The three of them were very strange. Since they had the same dream, who was that girl?
