Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 92 Su Xian

A female woman in Chenzhou, surnamed Su, is dressed in the river on this day. There is a huge stone in the river. Miss Su is coiled on the stone, and a wisp of moss floats upstream, green and cute, floating water rippling around the stone three times. The girl was moved when she saw it. After she went back, she was pregnant, and her belly was getting bigger and bigger. Her mother asked the reason. Miss Su told the truth, and her mother was confused. A few months later, she gave birth to a child. Her mother wanted to abandon the wilderness. Miss Su couldn't bear it and secretly hid in the wooden cabinet to feed her. From then on, she focused on parenting and determined not to get married, but the girl was unmarried and pregnant was not a glorious thing after all.

The son has not seen an outsider until he is seven years old. On this day, he suddenly said to his mother, "The child is growing up. How can he be confined at home for a long time? I want to leave so as not to damage my mother's reputation. Miss Su asked, "Where are you going?" The son said, "I'm not a human race. This trip will soar to the sky." Miss Su asked, "Then when will you come back?" The son said, "When my mother returns to heaven, I will come back to die. After the child leaves, if the mother needs it, she can open the wooden cabinet to ask for it, and she will be able to get what she wants. After saying that, he bowed a few times and went out.

Miss Su sent out of the room and stared at the white clouds in the sky, and she never saw her son again. I told my mother about this in private, and my mother felt strange when she heard it. Since then, Miss Su has adhered to her old ambition and depended on her mother. The family declined, lack of clothes, little food, and no rice to cook. Suddenly, she remembered her son's old words and tried to open the wooden cabinet. Sure enough, she got a bucket of rice. In the future, as long as the family cut off the grain, Miss Su would pray to the wooden cabinet and respond to her request. Three years later, my mother died of illness, and the silver utensils needed for the funeral depended on the supply of wooden cabinets.

After her mother's death, Miss Su lived alone for 30 years and never approached a man. On this day, a neighbor came to borrow fire. Seeing Miss Su sitting in her boudoir, she said a few words and left. Suddenly, colorful clouds fell from the sky, wrapped the house, and the pavilion was like a cover. A woman was dressed in gorgeous clothes and stood in the clouds. Take a closer look. It was Miss Su. Caiyun returned for a long time and then dispersed. The neighbor was surprised and went back into the boudoir to check. Miss Su's beautiful makeup sat down and her breath was cut off.

When the people heard about this, they felt sorry for Miss Su's loneliness. They were discussing about funeral for her. When there were many discussions, a teenager came in from the outside, handsome, bowed his hand to thank everyone one by one, and said, "I will take care of my mother's funeral by myself, and I won't worry about it." Everyone knows that Miss Su has an extraordinary background and believes in the words of the teenager.

The teenager buried his mother, planted two peach trees in front of the tomb, and left. A few steps away, the clouds are underfoot, and you can no longer see them. Later, the two peach trees blossomed and bore fruit, and the fruit was sweet and fragrant. The locals called it "Su Xiantao". The peach tree is flourishing and will never fade. Officials who take office in Chenzhou leave office and return home. Every time, they will take off a few catties of "Su Xiantao" and give them to their relatives and friends.
