Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 65 Alcohol Friends

A driver, from an average family, is good at drinking. He can't fall asleep without drinking three glasses every night. Therefore, he specially bought a lot of alcohol and put them at the head of the bed.

This night, I woke up in a dream and turned over. I found that there was one more person. I touched it with my hand. It turned out to be a fox. I was drunk. The wine bottle at the head of the bed was empty, and the wine was stolen by it all.

The driver laughed and said to himself, "This fox is my wine friend." I couldn't bear to wake it up, covered the quilt for the fox, and slept in the same bed.

When the fox woke up in the middle of the night, the driver smiled and said, "Friend, do you sleep well?" Opening the quilt, the fox had become an elegant teenager. He got up and bowed down and said, "I'm messing around. Thank you for not killing me."

The driver said, "I'm addicted to alcohol, and others laugh at my dementia. Brother Taiwan and I are the same people. If you don't dislike it, we will be wine friends in the future. While talking, he took the teenager to bed and told him, "Friends can come often in the future. Don't be suspicious." The teenager agreed.

The next day, the teenager had already left, and the driver didn't care. He only prepared the wine and waited for him to come back in the evening.

At dusk, the teenager arrived as promised. The two talked for a long time. The teenager was drunk and humorous. The driver couldn't help but feel that it was too late to meet each other.

The teenager said, "I have repeatedly talked about my brother's good wine, and I don't know how to repay it."

The driver said, "Why do you talk about the joy of wine fighting?"

The teenager said, "That being said, my brother's family is not rich, and the money is not easy to come by. I will try to raise some wine for you."

The next night, the teenager said to the driver, "This is seven miles southeast. There is lost money by the roadside. You can pick it up tomorrow morning."

The next morning, the driver went according to his words. As expected, he picked up two taels of gold and couldn't help but be happy. He immediately went to the street and bought a few pots of good wine to drink with the teenager in the evening. That night, the teenager came on time and said, "There is gold and silver hidden in the cellar in the backyard. It should be dug out." The driver followed his words and dug out thousands of copper coins.

The driver was overjoyed and said with a smile, "I have enough wealth, and I don't have to worry about money to buy wine from now on."

The teenager said, "Otherwise, how can this money be spent? Let me think about it again."

A few days later, the teenager said to the driver, "The buckwheat is cheap in the market, and this strange product is affordable."

The driver understood and bought more than 40 stone buckwheat at a time. Not long after, the weather was very drought, and all the rice and bean seedlings died. Only buckwheat could be planted. The people bought buckwheat seeds from the driver one after another, making a profit of ten times and making a lot of money.

Since then, the driver's family has been rich, buying more than 200 mu of good land. He has always consulted young people for farming. Whether it is planting wheat or maizes, it is a bumper harvest year after year.

The two have a close relationship. The teenager called the car husband and wife "sister-in-law" and treated the driver's son as if he were his own. Later, when the driver died, the teenager stopped dealing with each other.
