Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Zhao in Changshan lives in a rented house.Suffering from a strange disease, there is a hard lump in the abdomen, and he is dying.This day rested in bed, closed his eyes and rested his mind. When he opened his eyes, there was a stunning beauty beside him.Asked her intention, the woman said, "I'm here to be your daughter-in-law." Zhao said in surprise, "I'm so poor that I dare not offend the girl; besides, I'm seriously ill, so what's the use of marrying a wife? She is a widow?" The woman said, "I can heal."

Zhao said: "The disease I suffer from cannot be cured in a short time; even if there is a good prescription, I have no money to buy medicine." The woman said: "I don't use medicine to cure the disease." Belly, where the palms passed, Zhao could only feel the inside of the abdomen was like a fire, a warm feeling rose up, and the hard lumps in his body disintegrated.After a while, Zhao groaned in his stomach and shouted: "No, I have to go to the toilet." He hurried to the toilet, and after some excretion, he recovered from his illness and felt comfortable all over.Grateful in my heart, I said to the woman: "Young lady has profound medical skills, but I don't know where she is from? Can you tell me your name? I plan to set up a memorial tablet for you and bow down day and night."

The woman said: "To tell you the truth, I am a fox fairy. The young master is the reincarnation of Chu Suiliang from the Tang Dynasty. He once favored me, and the concubine always wanted to repay the kindness. I searched day and night, and finally met the young master. I will follow you from now on." , never leave again."

Zhao was ashamed of himself, and worried about the shabby hut, the filthy stove, and the dirty clothes of the woman, so he dared not keep her to live forever.The woman didn't care, and asked him not to worry, just go home.When the two returned to their residence, there was no quilt on the bed and no rice in the kitchen. Zhao sighed and said, "Not to mention the family background, the girl can't bear it; even if you can endure hardship, you have no clothes and no food. How can you rely on a wife to support you?"

The woman smiled and said, "Don't worry." Zhao didn't know what she meant, and when he turned around, he saw that the beautiful soft pillow on the bed had already been made up.Concentrating again, the tables, chairs and tea sets in the house are completely new, and the windows are covered with silver light stickers, which are as bright as a mirror.There are countless delicious food and wine.The two drank relatively freely, slept together after meals, and were lingering in love, just like a husband and wife.

The owner of the store heard about this and wanted to meet the woman, but the woman readily agreed and came out to meet the guests with no embarrassment on her face.Since then, it has spread everywhere, and everyone knows that Zhao married a beautiful fox wife.Competing to visit, the woman did not refuse.There are also people who invite Zhao to a banquet, and the woman must accompany her and stay close to each other.

This day, when friends gathered, there was a scholar at the dinner. Seeing the beauty of the woman, he felt obsessive.The woman had noticed it a long time ago, stood up, stretched out her hand and pushed the scholar's head, the scholar couldn't help himself, his head went through the window lattice, and was stuck outside the door, unable to move. pull out.

So in the past year, more and more admiring visitors, women are so annoying that they simply don't see them at all.Many people were rejected, hated Zhao, and insulted him in every possible way.On the Dragon Boat Festival this year, Zhao invited many guests to drink, and while they were chatting, a white rabbit jumped into the hall.The woman got up and said: "This is the medicine maker, he is here to pick me up." She said to the white rabbit, "Please take a step first." The rabbit nodded, turned around, and went away.

The woman ordered Zhao to fetch a long ladder, about several feet high.There is a big tree in the courtyard. The woman put a long ladder on the big tree and climbed first, followed by Zhao.The woman turned her head and said: "If relatives and friends are willing to accompany you, please come up." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to take a step.Only a book boy under the owner of the shop actively participated.The three of them climbed higher and higher, and gradually disappeared into the clouds, missing.

Everyone was amazed and looked at the ladder intently, but it was just a broken door plank.Returning to the hall again, all the furniture in the hall disappeared, leaving only the old walls and old stove, nothing else.Everyone was puzzled and waited eagerly for the return of the book boy, ready to ask him for information, but the book boy never showed up since he went to heaven.
