Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 119 Geng Niang

Jin Daying, a native of Zhongzhou, is the son of an official eunuch. Marrying a wife, Geng Niang, the daughter of Taishou, virtuous and beautiful, and the husband and wife are deeply emotional. At that time, the throttling bandits made trouble, and the people were not living. Jin used his family to move to the south for asylum.

On the way, he met a teenager who fled with his wife. He claimed to be from Guangling, surnamed Wang No. 18 and recommended himself as a guide. Jin Dayong was very happy, so the two families lived together. When she came to the river, Geng Niang said to her father-in-law, "Don't be in the same boat with the young man. He often peeks at me, his eyes are flashing, his lust is overflowing, and his heart is scheming. Jin Dayi agreed.

Wang Shiba hired a boat and carried luggage for Jin Da. He was very thoughtful. Jin Dayi couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, and thought that he was carrying a young woman. It should be fine. The young woman lived with Geng Niang and had a gentle temperament.

Wang Shiba sat in the bow, chatted with the boatman, and speculed with each other.

A few days before sunset, the waterway is endless, and there is no distinction between the north and the south. Jin Daying raised his eyes and looked around, the surface of the water was dangerous, and his heart was puzzled. Suddenly, the bright moon rises, and by the moonlight, there are reeds on the left and right. Soon after, the ship docked, and Wang Shisan invited Jin Da and his son to get out of the cabin and took the opportunity to push him into the water. Seeing this, Jin's father shouted loudly. The boatman's eyes were fast, and the bamboo sticks swept, and the old man was slapped to the bottom of the water and drowned.

The golden mother came out to check when she heard the sound, and was also concocted by the boatman and easily killed. Wang 18 pretended to call for help. After Geng Niang, she had already witnessed the whole process. Seeing that the whole family drowned, she was not panicked. She just cried, "Weng Po is not there. What should I do?" Wang 18 advised, "Don't worry, my wife. Go to Jinling with me. The Tianlu at home is quite self-sufficient and lives a good life." Geng Niang closed her tears and said, "If it's true, my wish is enough."

Wang 18 Dayue, carefully please Geng Niang. At dusk, Wang Shiba's daughter begged for sex, and Geng Niang felt unwell. Wang Shiba returned and went to sleep with a young woman.

At the end of the day, Wang and his wife quarreled endlessly, and I don't know why. I only heard the young woman say, "What the prince has done is very harmful to nature. Aren't you afraid of God's punishment?" Wang Shiba was furious and slapped the young woman with his backhand. The young woman risked and shouted, "Just beat me to death, so that you don't have to give the murderer as his wife." Wang Shiba roared wildly and kicked the young woman out with one foot. He only heard a bang. The young woman fell into the water, and all the passengers were in an uproar and said, "I drowned."

Not a few days after, the group arrived at Jinling, and Wang Shiba led Geng Niang home and went to the hall to see his mother. The old lady looked surprised and said, "Why did my daughter-in-law change her appearance?" Wang Shiba said, "My old wife fell into the water and died, and I married a new one." When the two returned to the room, Wang Shiba wanted to invade the woman again. Geng Niang smiled and said, "Why is the man in his thirties so unreasonable? When an ordinary person marries a wife, he still needs a glass of thin wine; your family is rich, don't you even have wine? What kind of style is it to be sober?

Wang Shiba nodded repeatedly, prepared wine and drank. Geng Niang held the cup and persuaded him attentively. Wang Shiba was drunk and gradually got drunk and refused to drink. Geng Niang held a huge bowl and was charming and coquettish. Wang Shiba couldn't bear to refuse and drank three or four bowls of wine. He was as drunk as mud. He took off his clothes and urged Geng Niang to go to bed.

Geng Niang extinguished the candle, took a small answer out of the house, and got a steel knife. She secretly pressed Wang Shiba's neck with her hand. Wang Shiba smiled confusedly and grabbed her arm and wrist, and there was a close voice in her mouth. Geng Niang cut hard. Wang Shiqi did not die for a moment and shouted to get up. Geng Niang waved the knife again and cut several knives in a row. Only then did Wang Shishi die.

When the old lady heard the sound, she came out to ask. Geng Niang killed her again. In the fight, she shocked Wang Shiba, Wang Shijiu, the younger brother of Wang. Geng Niang was aware of it and committed suicide by waving a knife. The edge of the knife was dull, and he eagerly couldn't cut into the meat. He opened the door and ran out. Wang Shijiu then chased, and Geng Niang had jumped into the pool.

Wang Shijiu told his family that he picked up Geng Niang, but when he died for a long time, the body was as beautiful as life. The family checked the body of Wang 18 and saw a letter on the window. They opened it and read it. It turned out that Geng Niang wrote before her death, and the letter described the grievances. Everyone praised Geng Niang's fierce daughter and raised funds to go to her funeral. At dawn, thousands of onlookers saw Geng Niang's remains and worshipped one after another. In one day, he raised a hundred taels of gold, so he buried Geng Niang in the southern suburbs. Among the people, there are good people who offer pearls and crowns to Geng Niang, put on robes, and the funeral goods are very rich.

At the beginning, after Jin Da used to fall into the water, he grabbed a board and floated without death. At dawn, the sky entered the Huai River with the waves and was rescued by the boat. The boat was built by Yin Weng, a rich businessman, to save drowning people. After Jin Dayong woke up, he personally went to Yin's house to thank him. Mr. Yin received him warmly, treated him generously, and kept him to teach his son's knowledge. Jin Da used his family's life and death are not clear, and he will visit him, so he hesitates and difficult to decide.

After a while, the servants came to report that two bodies were picked up on the river, one was an old man and the other was an old woman. Jin Daying suspected that he was his parents and rushed to check. That's true.

Mr. Yin was enough to buy a coffin for him. Jin Dayong mourned, and the servants came to report that he rescued a drowning woman and claimed to be the wife of Mr. Jin.

Jin Dayu was shocked with tears. The woman had arrived. She was not Geng Niang, but the young woman next to Wang Eighteen. The young woman cried when she met and asked him to take him in. Jin Dayu said, "We are in a mess. How can we have time to think about you?" The young woman became more and more sad.

Mr. Yin learned about the reason and said with a smile, "This is God's will. Is the daughter-in-law who sent to the door also polite? Hurry up and get married." Jin used it, "It's time for parents to mourn for the first time, and it's time to keep filial piety. What's more, there is no revenge, and there is a weak woman around, which is always a drag. The young woman said, "As the prince said, if Geng Niang is still alive, will she be abandoned because of revenge?" Mr. Yin nodded and said, "This is reasonable. Well, let's adopt her first. As for whether to get married or not, let's talk about it later." Jin Dayu gave a hum, which was an acquiescence.

Mr. Yin paid money to handle the affairs of his parents for Jin Da. On the day of the funeral, the young woman dressed in plain clothes and mourned and cried, like a mourning exam. Since his parents had entered the earth, Jin Da used a sharp blade to go to Guangling. The young woman stopped him and said, "My cheap concubine's surname is Tang, and my ancestors live in Jinling, and I am in the same hometown as Wang Shiba. He used to say that he was from Guangling, which was all lies. And the rivers and lakes are mostly his colleagues. When he goes to Guangling, he can't take revenge, but he takes his own disaster. Jin Daying wandered around and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, the story of the martyr woman killing the enemy came. Everyone in the Huaihe area knew who the martyr woman's surname was and how to punish the murderer.

Jin Da was quick to hear the words, but when he heard that Geng Niang committed suicide, he was instantly sad and said to Miss Tang, "Fortunately, I didn't insult you. If there is a fierce woman in the family like this, how can she bear to marry again? The young woman said, "There is an agreement between us. I won't leave the prince. As long as I can stay with the prince, I would rather be your concubine."

At that time, there was a deputy general, Mr. Yuan, who was an old friend of Mr. Yin. General Yuan planned to go on a western expedition. When he passed by Yin's mansion, he occasionally saw Jin Dayou. He greatly appreciated him and hired him as a record room. Soon, the bandits were on the sidelines. General Yuan made great achievements in begging the thieves, and a group of his men were rewarded. Jin Dayong was also decent because he was in charge of documents and letters. He was awarded guerrillas, returned to his hometown in brocades, and married Miss Tang.

After staying at home for a few days, Jin Dayong took his wife to Jinling to worship Geng Niang's grave. On the way through the Zhenjiang River, he wanted to climb the golden mountain. In the middle of the boat, a small boat came towards him. The two people in the boat, one was an old woman and the other was a young woman. The young woman had a beautiful face, quite like Geng Niang. The boat went fast, and the young woman peeped at Jin Dayi from the window, with her expression, all of which were similar to Geng Niang.

Jin Dayi was surprised and did not dare to ask. He was anxious and intelligent and shouted, "Look at the ducks flying to the sky!" When the young woman heard the words, she also shouted, "The greedy dog wants to steal the cat!" It turned out that these two sentences were the secret words of the two boudoirs in those years.

Jin Dayi was shocked and rowed close to the boat. He stared at it. The young woman was really Geng Niang. The little maidservant in blue helped Geng Niang cross the boat. The husband and wife cried with a headache and traveled sadly.

Miss Tang met Geng Niang with the worship of her legitimate wife. Geng Niang was shocked to ask the reason, and Jin Da used a brief description of the process. Geng Niang took Miss Tang's hand and said, "I will never forget the words in the same boat. I never thought of Wu Yue's family. Miss Meng buried Weng's mother-in-law and should thank her. How can you salute me? They were too old. Miss Tang and Xiao Geng Niang were one year old, so the two of them were commensurate with each other.

Before that, Geng Niang was buried, and I didn't know the time in the tomb. Suddenly, I heard a man calling, "Geng Niang, if you don't die, you will be reunited." So it was like waking up from a dream. Reaching out and touching, there were walls on all sides, and I realized that I was dead and buried. I just feel depressed and there is no pain. There are evil young people who coveted rich burial goods, hair mounds and broken coffins, and Fang will search and scrape. Seeing Geng Niang resurrect, they are horrected together. Geng Niang was worried about the harm of the evil and said, "Fortunately, you came to make me see the sun again. Hairpin jewelry on the head, take it as you like. I just want to sell me to the temple as a nun, which can make a profit, and I won't reveal it.

The evil young people said, "My wife is chaste, and people and gods respect me. We have done such an unkind act only because we are poor. As long as the girl agrees not to expose it, how can she bear to sell you into the nunnery?

Geng Niang said, "I volunteered to be a nun. I don't blame you." An evil young man said, "Mrs. Zhenjiang Geng, the widow has no children. If she sees her wife, she will be very happy." Thank you, Geng Niang. Pull out the jewelry and give it all to the thieves. The thief did not dare to answer. Geng Niang insisted again and again, and everyone was willing to accept it.

A crew of people set out with the woman and went to Mrs. Geng's house. They made up an excuse, saying that they got lost in the wind on the boat and begged the old lady to take in Geng Niang.

Mrs. Geng, a rich family, lives alone as a widow. Seeing Geng Niang overjoyed, she regarded her as if she had come out. On this day, the mother and daughter returned from Jinshan. God has eyes and has to reunite with Jin Dayu. Geng Niang told the story, and Jin Dayi sighed inexplicably. At that moment, she boarded the boat to worship her mother. Mrs. Geng was like a son-in-law and invited her home to stay for a few days before letting him go.

The two companies have been dealing with each other endlessly.
