Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 58 Fengyang Shiren

A scholar in Fengyang County went out to study and said to his wife, "I'll be back in half a year." Who would have thought that more than ten months have passed, but there is still no news. My wife is alone in her boudoir, and she can't help but miss her day by day.

That night, my wife went to bed. The moonlight shone into the room. Suddenly, the curtain opened and a gorgeous girl in a red dress came in.

The girl planted beads on her head and smiled, "It's lonely late at night. Doesn't my sister miss her father-in-law?"

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

The girl said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see him."

"Do you know my father-in-law?"

"Don't ask so much. Come with me."

The two walked out of the door and galloped through the wilderness. The girl walked like flying, and her wife gradually couldn't keep up. She said, "Hey, wait a minute. I'll go back and change a pair of shoes."

The girl smiled and said no, helped her sit down by the roadside, took off her shoes and gave it to her, and said, "Use mine."

The wife hesitated and said, "What should you do?"

The girl smiled and said, "I've been thick and thick since I was a child. It doesn't matter if I walk barefoot. Don't worry about me."

The wife nodded and put on new shoes. The size matched. The two got up and hurried on their way, and gradually went out of the house.

At this moment, a man rode a donkey and drove slowly. When his wife saw him, she looked happy and shouted, "Sir, why is it you?"

The man was also surprised and happy and asked, "Madam, where are you going?"

The wife said, "I'm going to find you."

The scholar finger girl asked, "Who is this girl?"

The girl smiled and said, "Don't ask me who I am. My sister is running around for a long distance, and the prince is also on the way in the starry night. Aren't you two tired? This is my home. Please go in and stay for one night. It's not too late to leave tomorrow.

With that, he led the way first, led the two of them into the house, set up a banquet for entertainment, and said, "Tonight, the bright moon is in the sky, which is suitable for drinking under the moon. The osmanthus flowers are blooming in the backyard. How about we go there?"

The scholar echoed and said, "It's wonderful to enjoy flowers and wine."

The three of them came to a stone table in the backyard and sat down. The maid delivered wine and vegetables one after another. The girl whispered to her wife, "Sister, the soles of my feet are a little cold. Can you return the shoes to me?"

The wife was embarrassed when she heard the words. She quickly returned her shoes to the girl and apologized repeatedly.

After a while, the wine and dishes were all served. The three of them drank a few glasses of wine. The girl said, "The prince and his wife met again after a long separation. The slave family will give you a toast to celebrate."

Seeing that the girl's eyebrows were picturesque, the scholar shook his heart a little. He hurriedly picked up the wine glass to return the prize, and the guests were happy.

After drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine, the scholar was drunk and confused. He couldn't help staring at the girl and saying some rumors and teasing. The girl was not angry, and occasionally fell in love, which made the scholar dizzy.

The wife looked on coldly. Although she was unhappy, she was gentle and virtuous, but she was silent and did not attack.

The scholar's heart was overflowing, and his words became more and more light and blatant. It happened that the girl came to persuade him to drink again. The scholar laughed and said, "Please sing a song for me. I'm willing to drink this glass of wine."

The girl agreed. While playing the lute, she gently opened her voice and sang, "Take off your makeup at dusk, and the west wind outside the window is cold. Listening to the sound of bananas, there was a drizzle. Where do you kowtow to people? Looking through the autumn water, I didn't see it back home, and I burst into tears. I miss him and hate him, holding red embroidered shoes in my hand. The song is melodious, eating bones and ecstasy.

After singing a song, the girl smiled and said, "In fact, it should not be used to play and sing. It's just that this kind of music is popular nowadays. If you can't sing it well, please don't laugh.

The scholar hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? The girl is beautiful, and the pipa is played well, especially the song is good. Wonderful, wonderful."

The woman smiled and said, "The slave's drink is limited, and I get drunk as soon as I drink. I'm sorry, excuse me." He got up and entered the house. Before leaving, he secretly gave a wink at the scholar.

The scholar was so care that he hurriedly said to his wife, "You sit down for a while. I'll go to the bathroom." Get up, stand up, and go in a hurry.

The wife sat alone, miserable, and ashamed and annoyed in her heart. She wanted to go back alone, but she didn't know the way. She was hesitating. Suddenly, she heard bursts of moans and gasping in the room. She couldn't stand it any longer. She quietly went to the window to listen, and only heard the men and women in the room laughing and let go. The husband can't help but flatter the girl, and the words are endless. The most hateful thing is that these words were obviously what the husband said to himself when the husband and wife were happy in the past.

What on earth does he mean! Are you still shameless?

Thinking of this, the wife's hands and feet trembled with anger, gritted her teeth, and couldn't wait to jump into the river and commit suicide. She walked out of the door angrily. She wanted to find a short talk. Suddenly, she heard the sound of horses's hoofs, and her younger brother Sanlang rushed to face.

When the sister and brother met, Sanlang asked, "Sister, what are you doing alone in the wilderness?"

What are you doing? Your brother-in-law is having an affair. I'm taking care of him. My wife is not angry.

Sanlang was furious when he heard the words. Without saying a word, he jumped to the ground, picked up a big stone, and rushed into the yard. When he came out of the window, he really heard the love inside, and Sanlang didn't think about it. He raised the stone hard and smashed the window with a bang. The window smashed in an instant, and the boulder was like electricity and flew straight into the bed.

I only heard the girl in the room screaming, her voice was anxious, and she shouted, "Lang Jun's head was broken. What should I do?"

The wife was stunned when she heard this and scolded her brother, "I didn't ask you to kill. What can I do now?"

Sanlang shouted angrily, "I'm kind to vent my anger for you, but you blame me instead. Well, I don't care." Turn around and leave.

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

Sanlang ignored her, pushed her sister to the ground and went away.

My wife woke up suddenly, but it was Nanke's dream.

The next day, the scholar came back, rode a donkey and said to his wife, "I had a strange dream last night." Then he chattered and told the dream. His wife changed her color and said, "Sin-law, why do you dream exactly the same as me?"

In doubt, Sanlang also came. When they met, he said, "Brother-in-law, I dreamed that you came back last night, and it really came true today. It's really strange."

The scholar laughed and said, "Fortunately, I was not killed by a boulder." Sanlang smiled and said, "Do you know all about it?" It turned out that Sanlang had the same dream.

All three of them are strange. Since the dreams are the same, who is the girl?
