Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Sang Xiao, born in Yizhou, Shaogu, lives in Honghuabu with beautiful scenery.

Sang Xiao is a dignified person, likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move. Apart from going to the neighbor's house to eat, the rest of the time stays in the bedroom and reads.The scholar next door joked: "You live alone at home, aren't you afraid of ghost foxes?" Sang Xiao said with a smile: "What is there to be afraid of ghost foxes? If a man dares to come, I will serve you with a sword. Welcome with both hands, open the door to welcome customers."

The scholar knew that Sang Xiao was bragging, so he decided to punish him, conspired with his friends, and used a ladder to build a wall in the middle of the night, and sent a prostitute to the study. The prostitute knocked on the door, and Sang Xiao peeped through the door, asking : "Who is outside?"

Ji Nu replied, "I am a female ghost."

Sang Xiao was terrified when she heard the words, her teeth chattered up and down, and there was a sound of trembling. The prostitute lingered for a long time before slowly leaving.The next day the scholar came to visit. When the two met, Sang Xiao turned pale and said, "I saw a ghost last night, it's too unsafe here, I have to move out immediately."

The scholar smiled and said, "Why don't you open the door to invite customers?"

Sang Xiao suddenly realized that everything was caused by the scholar, she smiled slightly but was not angry.

After half a year, another woman came to knock on the door that night. Sang Xiao thought that the scholar was repeating his old tricks and was joking with himself again. The woman, who is overwhelmed by the country and the city, asked: "Where does the girl come from?"

The woman said: "The concubine Lianxiang is the prostitute of the Xi family." There are many brothels on the port, and Sang Xiao didn't doubt it at all when he heard the words.At that moment, the woman was invited into the house, and the two of them turned off the lights and went to bed, and had some sex.

Since then, the lotus fragrance will come every three to five days.

This night Sang Xiao was sitting alone meditating, a woman came in lightly, Sang Xiao thought it was Lianxiang, but seeing the face of the woman, she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, she had black hair in tulle, and her body was elegant. , I suspect that the woman is a fox demon.

The woman said: "A lowly concubine from a good family, surnamed Li. I admire the noble character of the son, and I am here to be gentle with you."

Sang Xiao was overjoyed, held the woman's palm, it was as cold as ice, and asked: "Why is it so cold?" The woman said: "The concubine has been weak and sick since she was a child, and just now there was a cold wind blowing outside, her palm naturally became cold."

Sang Xiao nodded and stopped interrogating, and then the two of them undressed and undressed, and they were sexually exhausted. The woman's lower body was compact, as if she was a virgin.After finishing the work, the woman said: "My lord, the whole concubine is entrusted to you. If you don't dislike the ugliness of the servant's house, I am willing to serve you every day in the future. Is there anyone else in the room?"

Sang Xiao said: "There is only one prostitute next door, but she doesn't come here often."

The woman said: "I don't like to meet strangers, please keep a secret for me, my lord. It's the best way." A rooster crowed outside the window, and the woman left and took off an embroidered shoe as a gift. Sang Xiao said, "If the young master misses me, take out the shoes and take a look, but don't mess with them when there are people around."

Sang Xiao agreed, staring at the embroidered shoes, pointed like a cone, she liked it very much.At night, when there was no one around, Sang Xiao took out his shoes to play with, and the woman floated to him, and the two of them had a good time.

From then on, every time Sang Xiao took out his shoes, the woman would definitely come. He felt strange, and asked, "Why does this happen every time?" The woman smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence."

That night Lianxiang came and asked in surprise: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why is your son so depressing?" Sang Xiao said: "Really, I don't really think so." : Meet once every ten days.

Since Lianxiang left, for ten days, the woman visited every night. This night, the woman asked, "Where is your old lover, why hasn't he come for a long time?" Sang Xiao told the truth about their date, and the woman laughed. : "In the eyes of the young master, who is more beautiful, Lianxiang or I?"

Sang Xiao said: "Both of them are stunning, but Lianxiang's skin is warmer than yours."

The woman changed color and said: "I see, what do you mean to say, Lianxiang is a fairy of the Moon Palace, I can't compare to her?" The words were sullen.After a while, he said again: "Since Lianxiang is so beautiful, I want to see her. After ten days, when she comes to the door, I will quietly hide behind the bed and peep. You are not allowed to leak the news."

Ten days later, Lianxiang arrived as promised, the men and women met, and they laughed and talked harmoniously. After sex, Lianxiang frowned and said: "I haven't seen you for ten days, the young master is much worse than before, this must be due to overwork, you really haven't had an affair? "

Sang Xiao remained silent, Lian Xiang said again: "Young master's pulse is chaotic like numbness, this is a symptom of being haunted by ghosts."

The next night when the woman surnamed Li came to visit, Sang Xiao asked, "Look at Lianxiang last night."

Miss Li said: "Beauty is beauty, but it's a pity that she is not a human being. There is no such beauty in the world. I followed Lianxiang last night and found that she lives in a cave. If I guess correctly, Lianxiang must be a fox demon."

Sang Xiao didn't take it seriously, thinking, "She must be jealous of Lianxiang's beauty, and intentionally made up words to slander her."

A few days later, when Lianxiang came to visit, Sang Xiao tentatively said: "I have no doubts about my sister, but some people say you are a fox demon, so I don't know if it's true or not."

Lian Xiang asked, "Who said that?"

Sang Xiao smiled: "It's nothing, I'm just kidding you."

Lian Xiang sighed, "What difference does it make if it's a demon or a human?"

Sang Xiao said: "Otherwise, fox demons are born to like to confuse men. Once they are entangled, they will surely die. This thing is the most terrifying."

Lian Xiang smiled and said: "You are wrong. You are young, with your current physique, as long as you know how to control yourself, you can recover your vitality after three days of intercourse. Even if you are seduced by a fox monster, what harm will it do? On the contrary, if Riri and The carnival of human women is more harmful than the fox demon. How short-lived are the good men in the world, are they all bewitched by the fox demon? Needless to say, someone must be speaking ill of me behind my back."

Sang Xiao argued: "No, no, how can this happen?" Lian Xiang didn't believe it, and tried to press her, but Sang Xiao had no choice but to reveal her words a little.

Lian Xiang listened intently, nodded and said: "I said why the young master's health is getting worse and worse. It turns out that he has indulged too much. Well, I'm afraid this Miss Li is not simple. When she comes tomorrow night, I will secretly take a look for you .”

That night, Ms. Li came to the door on time and had a few words with Sang Xiaogang when she suddenly heard a cough outside the window and left in a hurry.Lian Xiang entered the room and said: "Young master is in a critical situation. Miss Li is not a human or a ghost. If you continue to entangle with her, she will die soon." Sang Xiao was silent when she heard this.

Lian Xiang said: "I know that my son will never forget the old relationship, but I can't bear to see you die. Tomorrow I will bring herbs to treat your illness and get rid of Yin poison. Fortunately, my son's poisoning is not deep, and he will recover within ten days."

The next night, Lianxiang really brought a pack of medicinal powder. After Sang Xiao and Shui swallowed it, she went to the toilet a few times. Her internal organs were cleared and refreshed, and she was in high spirits. Although she was grateful to Lianxiang in her heart, she still refused to believe Lianxiang Miss is a ghost.

Lianxiang came to take care of him every night, Sang Xiao wanted to have sex with her, but Lianxiang refused.A few days later, Sang Xiao's skin became plump and her condition recovered. Lian Xiang said goodbye and left, telling her, "My lord, never associate with Miss Li again." Sang Xiao agreed noncommittally.

That night, Sang Xiao turned on the light and closed the house, took out the embroidered shoes and stroked them gently. Miss Li suddenly came and she hadn't seen her for several days. She had a rather resentful look on her face. Taking good care of her is all out of good intentions, so don't be resentful."

Ms. Li's expression softened slightly when she heard the words, Sang Xiao pulled her to bed, and whispered beside the pillow: "I love Miss's heart, the world can learn from it, but some people say you are a ghost."

Ms. Li was stupefied, and cursed: "This must be the words of the fox monster who is jealous and framed. If you don't cut off contact with her, you will never see me again." Weeping and sobbing, Sang Xiao tried every means to comfort her I was willing to give up.

After a night, Lianxiang came to the door and said angrily: "Young master is entangled with a female ghost again. Are you really not afraid of death?" Sang Xiao smiled and said, "Why should sister be jealous?" Bed, who is treating you? How can you not be angry if you say such things to me right now?"

Sang Xiao was half joking: "She told me that the illness of the previous day was caused by the fox demon." Lianxiang sighed and said, "My lord is obsessed with obsession, and you won't believe what I say now. I just have to say goodbye for a while. The young master is lingering on the sick bed, I will come to see you again." He walked away.

Since then, Sang Xiao and Ms. Li have been happy every night. After more than two months, they are mentally exhausted and feel sleepy every day.At the beginning, I could comfort myself, but the condition got worse day by day, and my appetite decreased greatly. I only drank a bowl of porridge every day, and gradually my complexion turned yellow, and I became skinny.

At this moment, Sang Xiao finally felt remorse and realized that what Lianxiang said was true: Miss Li is really a ghost.

This day, Sang Xiao was dying of illness, and sighed on the bed, "I regret it so much. If I had followed Lian Xiang's advice, why would I have come to this? It was self-inflicted, and I couldn't live." She hurt herself for a while, and fell asleep.

In his sleep, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and hurriedly opened his eyes to watch, only to see that the door curtain was lifted, and a woman walked into the room, who else is it not Lianxiang?

Lian Xiang came to the bed and said with a smile, "You bumpkin, do you still remember me?"

Sang Xiao choked up tears, regretted and blamed himself, begged: "My dear sister, I was wrong, please help me."

Lian Xiang said with a straight face: "Young master is terminally ill, there is no cure. I have come to say goodbye to you."

Sang Xiao sighed: "What my sister said is that I'm going to die anyway. The embroidered shoe under the bed is left by a female ghost. Please do me a favor and break it."

Lianxiang nodded, took out her shoes and played with them repeatedly under the light, when suddenly Miss Li appeared out of thin air, seeing Lianxiang for the first time, she turned and fled.Lianxiang blocked the door with her body, and Miss Li tried several times, but in vain.

When Sang Xiao saw his enemy, he couldn't help scolding him loudly. Miss Li bowed her head in shame and dared not answer.Lian Xiang smiled and said, "Now you and I are confronting each other, who caused the son's illness?"

Miss Li blushed with embarrassment, just kept crying, choked up and said: "It's all my fault, but Mr. Sang is innocent, please save him again, sister."

Lianxiang asked, "Who are you? It's time to tell me."I am happy with the young master, purely out of my heart, as for making him seriously ill, it is not my original wish. "

Lian Xiang said: "I heard that ghosts like to kill people so that they can stay together forever in the vagina. Is there such a thing?"

Miss Li said: "No way. It's no fun for two ghosts to meet each other. If it's really fun, there are many young men in the world. Why is the concubine only obsessed with the son?"

Lianxiang sighed and said, "Sister is so stupid. You are so happy every night, people can't bear it, let alone ghosts?"

Miss Li asked: "I heard that a fox demon is happy with people and can kill people, is that true?"

Lianxiang said: "That's just a kind of sorcery, I'm not this kind of monster. There are fox demons that don't harm people in the world, but there are absolutely no ghosts that don't harm people, because ghosts are too sinister, and everyone is affected by it." No."

When Sang Xiao heard the words, she suddenly realized. Since then, she realized that the two daughters, one is a fox and the other is a ghost. They are not human beings, but after getting along for a long time, they are not afraid.It's just that the breath is like silk, and I feel uncomfortable all over, and I can't help moaning again and again.

Lianxiang smiled and said: "Sister, the young master is crying for pain, do you want to save him?"

Ms. Li nodded hastily, "Save, of course I have to. Please hurry up and show your skills, my sister is very grateful."

Lian Xiang smiled and said: "I'm afraid that if I cure him, the two daughters will work together and the younger sister will be jealous again."

Miss Li said seriously: "As long as my sister is willing to save the young master, my sister swears that from now on, she will cut off contact with the young master and never see him again."

Lianxiang smiled and said: "Don't make it so tragic and heroic, you and the young master are in love with each other, I will not beat the mandarin duck." While speaking, he took out the medicine bag from his arms and said: "I knew that the young master would have today. In the past three months, I have traveled all over the three mountains and gathered herbs everywhere. Now the herbs are all ready, but there is still a lack of medicine."

Ms. Li asked, "What do you want to make medicine?"

Lianxiang said: "Nothing, just a little bit of body fluid from my sister's mouth." While speaking, she took out a pill and said: "Put it in your mouth, and put it into the young master's belly mouth to mouth."

Miss Li blushed and looked down at her shoes and socks, feeling rather embarrassed.

Lian Xiang smiled and said, "Isn't my sister most proud of the embroidered shoes?"

Miss Li was even more ashamed when she heard the words, and she was ashamed to the point of embarrassment.Lian Xiang smiled and said: "It's not that I haven't done it before, so why be ashamed. In the past, the two of you were tender every night, and I don't know how many times you kissed on the mouth. Why are you so stingy now?"

Miss Li teased her repeatedly, she had no choice but to put the pill in her mouth, feed Sang Xiao to swallow, raised her head to look at Lianxiang, meaning to ask: Are you ready?

Lianxiang held back her smile, and said solemnly: "One time is not enough, I need to do it several more times." Miss Li had no choice but to kiss her three or four more times before Lianxiang let her go.

Sang Xiao took the pill, and there was thunder in his stomach. After a while, the dantian was hot and refreshed. Lian Xiang nodded and said, "Healed."

After working all night, a cock crowed outside the house, and Ms. Li reluctantly left.Lian Xiang specially stayed to take care of Sang Xiao because she had just recovered from her long-term illness, guarding her day and night, and Ms. Li often came to visit at night.After two or three months, Sang Xiao fully recovered, and his body was as healthy as before.

But since then, Ms. Li came less and less often, even if she came once in a while, she left in a hurry. Lian Xiang wanted to let her sleep with Sang Xiao, but Ms. Li was firm and refused to agree.In the end, Sang Xiao became anxious, and forced her to hug her on the bed, and took the initiative to tease her. Miss Li just closed her eyes and remained unmoved.

More than ten days later, Ms. Li disappeared suddenly, and Sang Xiao missed her day and night. Normally, as long as she took out the embroidered shoes and stroked them lightly, Ms. Li would definitely show up. Now she touches the shoes every day, and her hands are almost torn, but there is still no sign of the beautiful woman.

Lian Xiang sighed and said, "My sister is slim and charming, I feel pity for her, let alone a man."

Sang Xiao said: "When people go to their shoes, they think about people when they see things. The more you miss them, the more uncomfortable you will be."

Prior to this, rich man Zhang had a daughter named Yan'er, who died of illness at the age of 15.After one night, she suddenly woke up, got up and ran outside. Rich Zhang hurriedly closed the door to prevent her from going out. The woman shouted, "I am Li Tongpan's daughter, why do you keep me locked up? My shoes are still in Mr. Sang's house." There, let me go out to find him. I am a ghost, what good is it to lock me up?"

Seeing her talking nonsense, rich man Zhang was full of doubts, and asked, "Yan'er, what's wrong with you?"

The woman said: "I'm not Yan'er, I'm Miss Li, where is this? Open the door quickly, open the door quickly."

Mr. Zhang thought to himself, "Yan'er came back from the dead. Could it be that he came back from the corpse?" He tried to calm his mind, straightened his thoughts, and said, "Girl, don't be impulsive. You keep calling Mr. Sang's name. As far as I know, Mr. Sang I am sick and have already gone back to my hometown to recuperate."

The woman said loudly: "Impossible, Mr. Sang has recovered from his illness long ago, let me see him quickly."

Rich Zhang said: "Okay, okay, don't get angry. In this case, I will send someone to send a letter to Mr. Sang, asking him to come to see you, how about it?"

The woman urged: "Go, go."

Not long after the message was sent, the servant came back to report, "Master Sang will come in person soon, and he also sent an embroidered shoe to the little one, and asked me to hand it to Miss Yan'er myself."

The woman received the embroidered shoes and tried them on, only to find that the size was wrong, a few inches too small. She was horrified and looked at herself in the mirror.I couldn't help but cried bitterly, "How did I become so ugly? Hey, let's just die."

Dejected and lazy, he refused to eat, hid in bed every day and did not dare to see anyone, did not eat or drink for seven days in a row, his whole body was swollen, but even though he wanted to die, he just didn't die.After arriving, Ms. Li was so hungry that she had to grab a few mouthfuls of food. After a few days, Ms. Li's whole body was itchy, and her skin peeled off layer by layer.When I got up in the morning and put on my shoes, the shoes became fat and big. I took out the embroidered shoes and tried them on again, and the size fit just right.Overjoyed in my heart, I took a look in the mirror, my eyebrows were picturesque, and I regained my original appearance.

Lianxiang heard about this, and discussed with Sang Xiao, "Since my younger sister has returned from the corpse, the son should come to propose marriage and marry her." Sang Xiao said: "That said, but there is a huge disparity between the rich and the poor. If you visit rashly, wouldn't it be Too abrupt?"

Lianxiang came up with an idea: "Master Zhang will hold a birthday banquet for his wife in three days' time. You can go there to celebrate your birthday, and meet your younger sister by the way."

Sang Xiao praised: "Good idea, let's do it like this."

On the day of the birthday banquet, Sang Xiao really went to congratulate him. Seeing his name on the invitation card, Mrs. Zhang secretly asked her daughter to identify him behind the curtain.Zhang's wife scolded: "What's the situation with the girl's house, why don't you go back?"

Miss Li realized that her behavior had gone too far, and she was shy and ashamed, so she went back to her boudoir in embarrassment.

When Sang Xiao met the beautiful woman again, he was also moved to tears. He knelt down and bowed down. For a moment, he forgot his words. Zhang's wife helped him up, and said softly, "Son, don't cry. I will betroth my daughter to you. Go back Get ready, send someone to propose marriage."

Sang Xiao nodded repeatedly. After returning home, he asked his uncle to come to propose marriage. Mrs. Zhang agreed without hesitation. The two families decided on an auspicious day and began to prepare for the wedding.When parting, Mrs. Zhang made a request: marriage is fine, but Sang Xiao must marry in and be the son-in-law.

This matter is so important that Sang Xiao didn't dare to agree hastily, so he went back to discuss the countermeasure with Lianxiang. Lianxiang sighed and said, "If you become the son-in-law, what should I do? Would it be embarrassing to move into Zhang's residence together with you?" It's all over. I'll go." Turn around and walk.

Sang Xiao said anxiously: "Sister, don't leave. You are right. You must never agree to the marriage. Not only do you lose face, but I also lose face."

Lianxiang asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

Sang Xiao said: "Now that the matter has come to an end, I have no choice but to confess." So he went to Zhang's mansion again and told the truth about the relationship between himself and Lianxiang. When Mr. Zhang and his wife heard that he had a wife, they couldn't help scolding him angrily.Thanks to Ms. Li's repeated persuasion and good words, the Zhang family reluctantly agreed to the marriage.

On the wedding day, Sang Xiao welcomes the bride into the house. The house is originally poor and the furnishings are simple, but I don’t know what kind of magic Lianxiang has used. The room is full of brilliance, and there are luxurious red carpets everywhere. The red candles are burning high, and there is an indescribable joy and warmth.

Lianxiang helped the bride into the bridal chamber, took off the red hijab, and the three of them drank a few glasses of wine. Sang Xiao asked about the process of returning to life, and Ms. Li said: "After leaving that day, I was depressed and bored, thinking of myself as a ghost, consciously The shape is filthy. Under the despair of all thoughts, I don't want to go back to the grave. I drift with the wind in a daze. I live in the grass during the day and wander around at night. I came to Zhang's house by chance this night, and saw a girl lying on the bed, closing her eyes and dying. So she went forward to possess her body, but she didn't expect to use this to repay the sun." Lianxiang heard the words, thinking silently.

Two months later, Lianxiang gave birth to a son, and fell ill after giving birth. Knowing that she would die soon, she took Miss Li's arm and said, "After I die, I will entrust the child to your care. My son will be your son."

Ms. Li wept uncontrollably, and comforted her gently, "Sister, don't worry about recovering from her illness, I'll go find a doctor again."

Lian Xiang shook her head and said, "No need." While speaking, Sang Xiao and Miss Li couldn't help but shed tears when they saw this.Lianxiang smiled and said: "Don't do this. Life is so happy, death is so hard. If there is a destiny, we will meet again in 14 years." After speaking, he closed his eyes and passed away, his body turned into a white fox.

Sang Xiao wiped away her tears, buried Lianxiang in a rich way, and buried her in peace.To commemorate his wife, Sang Xiao named his son Hu'er.Hu'er has a bright and intelligent personality, which makes Ms. Li very happy. She takes care of her carefully and treats her as her own.Every Ching Ming Festival, the family of three would go up the mountain to visit Lianxiang's grave.

Later, Sang Xiao passed the examination and his family was wealthy, but Ms. Li had not given birth for a long time. She was anxious and began to persuade her husband to accept a concubine.This day, an old woman came to sell her daughter. Ms. Li invited her into the mansion. After a closer look, she saw the old woman's daughter with beautiful features. She was both surprised and happy, and shouted: "Sister Lianxiang has reincarnated."

Hearing the shout, Sang Xiao came out to check and saw the girl's face like jade, she said to herself, "Sure enough, she is exactly the same as Lianxiang." She asked the old woman, "How old is the child?" The old woman said, "Fourteen." Sang Xiao asked again, "How much do you want?" Dowry money?" The old woman said: "I'm just a piece of meat, I hope my daughter can marry a good family, if you like it, you can give me 300 taels of silver."

Sang Xiao said angrily: "Lianxiang is only worth 300 taels? At least 3000 taels." He took out 3000 taels of silver and handed it to the old woman, and sent her to walk. The old woman thanked her happily and left happily.

Miss Li led the girl into the house, and asked with a smile, "Do you still remember me?"

The girl shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Miss Li was a little disappointed, and asked again, "Then what's your name?"

The girl said: "My surname is Wei, and my father is a wine seller. He has been dead for three years."

Ms. Li looked at the girl carefully, and saw that her appearance and attitude were all similar to Lianxiang. The old man frowned anxiously when he met but didn't know each other. Suddenly, she thought of something, and hurriedly slapped the girl on the top of the girl's head with her hand, and shouted: "Sister Lian, Sister Lian, don't you remember the 14-year agreement?"

The girl woke up like a dream, and called out "Hey", "Are you Sister Li?" She looked at Sang Xiao again, with tears in her eyes, and said with a choked voice, "Master, I miss you all the time."

Sang Xiao patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry. The reunion of the three of you is just 'Return of Deja Vu'. This is a happy event. Why are you crying instead? Look at your tears Yes, if you keep crying, it won't look good."

The girl smiled slightly, wiped away her tears, and began to narrate her reincarnation experience, "My mother told me that I could speak when I was born, and my family thought it was ominous, so they gave me a bowl of black dog blood. I know you. Thanks to my sister who patted me on the head a few times, I was able to restore my memory." The three of them recalled the past together, with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

This cold food festival, Miss Li said: "In the past at this time, my husband and I would go up the mountain to pay homage to my sister." Lianxiang said: "Where is my grave buried, take me to see."

When the three of them came to the cemetery, they saw the weeds leaving. Lianxiang sighed and said, "The past is like a dream." Miss Li said, "Sister Lian and I have been friends for two lifetimes, and we can't bear to part. Why don't we bury our bones in the graveyard?" piece."

Sang Xiao nodded in agreement, dug out Miss Li's grave, took out the bones, and buried them in Lianxiang Tomb.
