Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 40 Qingfeng

Geng is sick. He is from Taiyuan. He is extremely bold and not afraid of ghosts. The family is in the middle of the road, and he lives in his uncle's house. The house is gradually abandoned, and strange things often happen. No one opens the door in the middle of the night. From time to time, people talk about it. When I checked it, there was no one in the empty place.

On this night, there were bursts of joy and laughter from the house. Geng went to his heart and thought, "Is there a fox demon? Let's go and have a look." When I came to the courtyard alone, I saw the lights upstairs go out and thought, "In the middle of the night, who is messing around here?" He quietly climbed the stairs, poked the window paper and peeped. There were two huge candles lit in the room, shining brightly as the day. A round table was full of banquets, and four strangers gathered to drink and talk and laugh. Two of them are older, about 40 years old, and they are old husband and wife. There is another teenager, in his twenties, very handsome. Next to him is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, weak and delicate, with a beautiful face.

Geng went sick and looked at it strangely. He shouted, pushed the door and entered. He smiled, "The uninvited guest came uninvited." With such a sudden scream, the four people in the room were shocked and their faces changed one after another. The two women quickly ran into the inner room to hide. The old man scolded, "Who came to break into the house without trespassing?"

Geng went sick and said with a smile, "Well said! This was originally my home, but you actually occupied the magpie's nest. I won't investigate this for the time being. But you are eating and drinking in my house. When you see the host coming, you don't invite me to the table. Isn't it too stingy?

The old man stared at the man in front of him and said in a low voice, "You are not the master."

Geng went sick and said, "I'm crazy, my master's nephew."

The old man saluted and said, "I've been looking forward to you for a long time. Please sit down and have a glass of thin wine."

Geng went ill and didn't refuse at all. He pulled a chair and sat down and asked, "The old gentleman's surname is Gao?"

The old man said, "The little man's surname is Hu." He pointed to the teenager again and said, "This is the filial son of the dog."

Geng went to the hospital and nodded and asked the teenager, "How old is my brother?"

The teenager said, "Nineteen."

Geng went to be sick and said, "I'm two years older than you. I don't mind if I call you a virtuous brother."

The teenager laughed and said, "I can't ask for it."

While talking, the three of them drank and drank a few glasses of wine. Old Hu said, "I heard that the prince's ancestor has compiled a Biography of Tushan. Is there such a thing?"

Geng went sick and said, "Yes."

Old Hu said, "To tell you the truth, the little old man was originally a descendant of the Tushan family. I still remember the genealogy after the Tang Dynasty. The previous one was lost. I hope the prince can not hesitate to teach me, and the little old man listens attentively."

Geng went to the disease and nodded and agreed. His tongue was full of lotus flowers. He roughly talked about the matter of marrying Tu Shannu to Dayu and helping him treat the water. The words were like beads. He only heard the old man Hu's eyebrows and smiled and praised, "The story is really good. The little old man has never heard of it. Anyway, the prince is not an outsider. Let's invite his wife and Qingfeng to come out and listen together. Listen, so that they can know the merits of their ancestors.

It's not like an old woman came out with a girl's style. She looked at the girl under the candlelight and saw that she was weak and delicate. It was really a rare beauty.

Old Hu pointed to the old woman and said, "This is a clumsy thorn." She also pointed to the girl and said, "Her name is Qingfeng. She is my niece. The little girl is very smart and never forgets it." While talking, two women sat down at the table.

When Geng went sick and saw Qingfeng, he was fascinated. He couldn't help quietly touching the girl's slender feet through the bottom of the table. The girl was shocked and hurriedly withdrew her feet. She lowered her head and dared not make a sound, but she was not angry.

Geng went to the sick girl's acquiescence and indulged. She was so smothful that she couldn't be independent. She patted the case and shouted, "If you can marry Qingfeng, even if you let me be the prince, you won't do it." Seeing that he looked wild and didn't dare to stay long, the old woman hurriedly left the table with Qingfeng and hid in the inner room.

When the beautiful woman left, Geng was very disappointed in his illness, and his interest in drinking was gone. He immediately said goodbye and left. When he returned home, his heart was full of lingers and turns, so he discussed with his wife, "Let's move to a small building in the backyard."

The wife disagreed and scolded, "You're sick. You know it's haunted, but you still throw yourself into the trap. Do you think your life is too long?"

He was ashesed by his wife. Geng was not discouraged and decided to go his own way and move to a small building to live alone. That night, I was reading under the lamp. Suddenly, I heard a loud noise. A "evil ghost" spread his head and couldn't help opening his teeth and claws to himself. He was always bold. He didn't take the "evil ghost" in his eyes at all. He smiled slightly, stained his fingers with some ink, smeared his face dark and terriblely, and opened his eyes widened at the "evil ghost". The "evil" did not expect Geng's illness to be so calm and scary. He felt very ashamed and had no choice but to evacuate.

The night was getting deeper and deeper. Geng was about to turn off the lights and go to bed. Suddenly, he heard the sound of small footsteps coming from downstairs. His heart moved and he hurried downstairs and looked around. He saw a light in a house not far away. A woman pushed open the doors and windows with both hands and looked at the moonlight and was in a daze. She staring at it. It was the green phoenix.

Qingfeng also saw Geng's illness and was shocked. She quickly closed the window and dared not look at him. Geng went to be in a hurry. Suddenly, he knelt down and shouted, "Miss Qingfeng, I took the risk of moving to live in the backyard just to see you. There is no one else here. Let's go out to chat and shake hands. I have no regrets about my death.

Qingfeng replied, "I know that the prince has a deep affection for me, but my uncle's tutor is very strict and won't let me socialize with strange men. I'm sorry I can't agree to your request."

Geng went sick and said, "Well, at most, I won't shake hands. I just want to have a look."

Qingfeng pondered for a while. She couldn't stand it. Finally, she pushed the door and walked out, reached out to help him up, and was silent.

Geng went to be sick and was ecstatic. He hugged Qingfeng in his arms. The two went downstairs to the stone steps and sat side by side. Geng went to pick up Qingfeng with his arm and put it on his thigh. He inevitably touched and scratched it.

Qingfeng blushed and said, "Son, fortunately we are predestined, otherwise after tonight, it will be useless for you to miss each other."

Geng went to be sick and asked, "Why?"

Qingfeng said, "The prince is crazy. My uncle doesn't like it very much, so he pretends to be a devil to scare you. Unexpectedly, the strategy will fail. The prince is not afraid at all. My uncle is serious and doesn't want to be entangled with me, so he plans to move and leave tomorrow.

Geng went and scolded, "This old man is stubborn. Don't pay attention to him."

Qingfeng said, "Don't scold my uncle. He is actually very good. It's not early, and I'm leaving too. Otherwise, when uncle comes back and bumps into our private meeting, he must be angry.

Geng was sick and pulled her and shouted, "Don't go, don't go, Liangchen and beautiful scenery. We haven't made out yet. Don't go."

In the middle of nonsense, the old man Hu appeared out of thin air, glared at Qingfeng, and scolded, "The shameless little girl, how dares to steal a man. It's really bad. Why don't you go back to the house!" Be careful that I whip you." Qingfeng blushed and had to hide her face. Old Hu didn't look at Geng's illness and left.

I could only hear a bang, and the door closed. Geng was sick and angry and lost. He shouted outside the door, "Dead old man, I seduced Miss Qingfeng first. It's all my fault. Don't let you embarrasss her. If you have any punishment, just come to me." But no matter how you scold, the room was silent and no one paid attention to it at all.

Since that night, Geng has never seen Qingfeng again, and the house is calm, and no strange things have happened. A year passed in a blink of an eye. This day was the Tomb-sweeping Day. Geng went to go out to sweep the tomb. On the road, two foxes were chased by a vicious dog. One of the foxes was covered with white hair and ran straight to him, moaning, as if begging for help.

Geng went so much that he kicked the vicious dog away, picked up the fox home, and treated it carefully. After a while, the little fox woke up and turned into a human form, which turned out to be a green phoenix.

Geng was overjoyed and quickly asked the reason. Qingfeng said, "I was just playing with the maid. I don't know where a vicious dog came from. If the prince hadn't rescued him, the slave family would have been buried in the dog's stomach long ago. Thank you."

Geng went sick and asked with a smile, "Qingfeng, are you a fox demon?"

Qingfeng nodded: "Yes. I hope you don't dislike me because of this.

Geng went sick and said, "I miss you day and night, and I'm haunted. You and I are destined to see you again. In the future, I will only love you and never dare to dislike you at all.

Qingfeng was moved when she heard the words and said with a smile, "There is God's will in the dark. If you don't encounter such a hardship, how can you stay with the prince for a long time? From now on, I will follow you."

Geng went away with a sick smile. Now he tidied up the house and married Qingfeng.

The newlyweds are sweet, and the days go by quickly. Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Geng was sick and reading at night. Hu Xiaoer suddenly pushed the door and entered, knelt down on the ground and begged, "My father is in trouble. Please be sure to save him."

Geng went to the sick and asked, "What's going on?"

Hu Xiaoer said, "Do you know Mo Sanlang?"

Geng went sick and said, "I know, his father and my father are classmates and friends."

Hu Xiaoer said, "Mo Sanlang will pass by from here tomorrow. He has a fox in his hand. That's his father. Please cut off the fox."

Geng is sickly and kind-hearted. He heard that old man Hu was involved in disaster and intended to help, but he said, "Your father humiliated me in the past, and he was angry about this matter. It's okay for me to save him, unless Qingfeng comes to plead with him in person.

Hu Xiaoer said, "Cousin Qingfeng was unfortunately bitten by a vicious dog. She has been dead for two years."

Geng went sick and said, "In this case, I have nothing to say to you. Come on, let's see the guests off."

After Hu Xiaoer went, Geng went into the room to talk to Qingfeng and told the truth about the arrest of Mr. Hu. Qingfeng's face changed greatly and asked, "Husband, will you save my uncle or not?"

Geng went sick and said with a smile, "Help, I will definitely save it. The reason why I didn't agree just now is just a little revenge. Who said that Old Hu was quite unreasonable before? Let his son worry all night, which is a small punishment.

Qingfeng was relieved and smiled and said, "I was brought up by my uncle since I was a child. Now he is in trouble. We should help."

Geng went sick and said, "That being said, if you really died at the beginning, I wouldn't have saved him."

Qingfeng smiled and said, "How can you be so patient?"

The next day, Mo Sanlang went out to hunt. As expected, he passed by the door. He rode a horse with a bow, and his servants gathered behind him and had a rich harvest. One of the black foxes, with bright fur, was hit by an arrow in his neck, and blood flowed.

Geng went to see each other and said, "Brother Mo, what a beautiful fox. Tut-tut, this fur is of first-class quality. If it is used to make a leather coat, it must be warm to wear.

Mo Sanlang was smart and generous. He smiled and said, "It's just a black fox. If Brother Geng likes it, just take it."

Geng went to be sick and quickly thanked him. He took the black fox back to the room for traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Three days later, the black fox woke up and turned into an old man.

Old Hu opened his eyes and saw that Qingfeng was beside him. He was suspicious in a dream and said with great joy, "Qingfeng, I have never believed that you were killed. Ha, you really didn't die. That's great, that's great."

Qingfeng's finger went sick and said, "Thanks to my husband's help this time, otherwise my niece would never see my uncle again."

Old Hu quickly thanked him and said with a smile, "Thank you, thank you. Mr. Geng, are you married to Qingfeng? Congratulations, congratulations."

From now on, Mr. Hu's family and his wife live happily with the sick couple.
