Early the next morning, the scholar from the East came to Sang Sheng's study. Sang Sheng told the story of meeting a ghost at night and said that he would go home. The scholar in the East clapped his hands and laughed at him and said, "Why don't you open the door and leave her?" Knowing that it was a fake ghost, Sang Sheng immediately settled down as usual.
After half a year, another woman knocked at the door at night. Thinking that another friend was joking with him, Sang Sheng opened the door and invited her in. At first glance, it turned out to be a beautiful woman. Sang Sheng was surprised and asked where she was from. The woman said, "My name is Lian Xiang, and I am a prostitute in the West." Because there are many brothels around Honghuabu, Sang Sheng believes it. Later, the two put out the candles and went to bed, making out happily. Since then, Lianxiang has come every three or five nights.
One night, Sang Sheng was sitting alone in his study, thinking about the lamp, when a woman gently pushed the door and came in. Sang Sheng thought it was Lianxiang, so she got up and talked to her. I didn't know this woman when I met her. This woman is about fifteen or sixteen years old, her hair is not tied yet, her arms are drooping, and she mops the floor with long sleeves. She is very romantic and beautiful. She walks like a fairy. Sang Sheng was very surprised and suspected that she was a fox spirit. The woman said, "I am a good woman, surnamed Li." It is elegant and romantic to worship you, and I hope you can see love. " Sang Sheng was overjoyed and hurried to shake her hand, but it was as cold as ice. He was surprised and asked, "Why is it so cold?" The woman replied: "I have been single since I was a child, and I am weak. I am covered in frost when I come here tonight. How can I not be cold? " Then he took off his coat and went to bed. It turned out to be a virgin. The woman said, "I gave you my virginity for love." If you think I'm not ugly, I'd like to accompany you often. Is there anyone else here? "Sang Sheng said," No one else, but there is a prostitute in the west, but she doesn't come very often. " Li said, "You should avoid her. I'm not like the people in the brothel. Please keep a secret. Yes, she's coming, I'm leaving, she's leaving, I'm coming. Soon, the rooster crowed, and Li got up to leave. "。 Before leaving, he gave Sang Sheng an embroidered shoe and said, "This is what I wear on my feet. Playing often can suppress thoughts. But don't move around when outsiders are present. " Sang Sheng took the embroidered shoes and saw them as sharp as awls. He liked them very much. The next night, when no one was in the house, Sang Sheng took out his shoes to play. Li Nv suddenly came gently, and the two made out again. After that, as long as she took out embroidered shoes, Li Nv came at once. Sang Sheng asked the reason strangely. Li smiled and said, "What a coincidence. "
One night, Lian Xiang came to the study and asked in surprise, "Sang Lang, why is your face so bad?" Sang Sheng said, "I don't think so myself." Lianxiang got up to leave and met again in ten days. After Lian Xiang left, Li Nv came every night without interruption. Li asked Sang Sheng, "Why didn't your lover come for so long?" Sang Sheng told her about their ten-day date. Daughter Li said with a smile, "Do you think I can match the beauty of Lianxiang?" Sang Sheng said, "You two are the best of both worlds. But in contrast, Lianxiang's body skin is warmer than yours. " When Li Nv heard this, she changed her face and said, "The double beauty you said is the double beauty to me. She must be the Moon Palace Chang 'e, I can't compare with her. "So I am very unhappy. Come on, the ten-day date has arrived. Tell Sang Sheng not to tell anyone, and then she will sneak a look at Lian Xiang.
The next night, Lianxiang really came. Talking and laughing with Sang Sheng, they are very harmonious. When sleeping, Lian Xiang said in horror, "It's broken! I haven't seen you for ten days. How can you be so tired and sleepy? Are you sure no other woman has been here? " Sang Sheng asked her why she said this, and Lian Xiang said, "I have observed your mental complexion, and your pulse is as empty as silk, which is a sign of ghosts."
The next night, when Li entered the door, Sang Sheng asked, "Why did you peek at the lotus fragrance?" Li replied, "It's really beautiful. I thought there were no such beautiful people in the world. That's a fox! I followed her after she left. It turned out that she lived in a cave in Nanshan. " Sang Sheng suspected that Li was jealous and ignored her words.
After a night, Sang Sheng joked with Lian Xiang, "I absolutely don't believe it, but some people say you are a fox spirit." Lianxiang quickly asked, "Who said that?" Sang Sheng smiled and said, "I was joking with you myself." Lian Xiang said, "What's the difference between a fox and a man?" Sang Sheng said: "People who are fascinated by foxes will get sick, and in serious cases they will die. It's terrible." Lian Xiang said, "That's not true. At your age, after a three-nature life, you can recover your essence. Even foxes don't hurt people. If you indulge yourself every day, people are worse than foxes. So many adulterers and adulterers have died in the world, are they all confused by foxes? Even so, someone must speak ill of me behind my back. " Sang Sheng tried to say no, but Lian Xiang asked more urgently. Tell the truth if necessary. Lianxiang said, "I wonder why you are so weak, and why you are so weak so quickly. Isn't Li Nv a person? Don't tell anyone yet. Tomorrow night, I will sneak a look at her like her. "
In the evening, Li Nv came to talk to Sang Cai Sheng, and then she heard someone coughing outside the window and left in a hurry. Lianxiang came into the room and said to Sang Sheng, "You are too dangerous! Li Nv is really a ghost! If you still covet her beauty and don't give her a clean break, your death is near! " Sang Sheng thought Lianxiang was jealous of Li's daughter, but she didn't say anything. Lian Xiang said, "I know you have always loved her." But I can't bear to watch you die. Tomorrow, I will bring medicine to cure your virus. Fortunately, the poisoning is not deep and can be cured in ten days. Please allow me to watch you recover. "
The next night, Lian Xiang did bring a small bag of medicine, and it didn't take long for Sang Sheng to have diarrhea two or three times. Sang Sheng only felt refreshed and refreshed. Although I am grateful to Lian Xiang, I still don't believe that I have a ghost disease. Lianxiang stays in bed with Sang Sheng every night; He courted several times, but Lian Xiang refused. A few days later, Sang Sheng's body became strong again. When Lian Xiang left, she earnestly told Sang Sheng that she had to break off relations with Li Nv, and Sang Sheng pretended to agree.
After closing the door at night, Sang Sheng took out embroidered shoes and played under the lamp. Daughter Li suddenly came. After leaving for a few days, she looked unhappy. Sang Sheng said, "She cooks medicine for me every day. Please don't blame her. It's good for you. " Li Nv is just a little happy. Sang Sheng whispered on the pillow, "I love you the most, but some people say you are a ghost." Li was tongue-tied, and it took him a long time to say, "This must be the fox's nonsense, which confused you! I won't come back until you break up with her. " Then she sobbed, and she didn't stop until Sang Sheng said countless words of encouragement.
After a night, Lian Xiang came. Knowing that Li Nv was coming again, she said angrily, "You must want to die!" " Sang Sheng smiled and said, "Why are you so jealous of her? Lianxiang said more angrily, "You have a terminal illness, and I cured it for you. What can people who are not jealous do? Sang Sheng also joked, "Mrs. Li said the other day that my illness was caused by a fox." Lianxiang sighed and said, "It's just like you said, you are so stubborn! If it's not good, I can't explain it with a hundred mouths. Please say goodbye from now on. In a hundred days, I will come to see you lying in the hospital bed again. "Sang Sheng kept her, but Lian Xiang didn't listen and left angrily.
Since then, Li Nv has never come to get together with Sang Sheng. After about two months, Sang Sheng felt weak and depressed. At first, I comforted myself. Later, I lost weight day by day, and I could only drink one bowl of porridge every meal. I want to go home to recuperate, but I still love Li Nv and can't bear to leave. A few days later, I finally fell ill in bed and couldn't get up anymore. Neighbors saw that he was seriously ill and sent extremely poor people to deliver food and water every day. Only then did Sang Sheng doubt Li's daughter and said to her, "I regret that I didn't listen to Lian Xiang's words before I came to this step!" " Then he passed out. It took a long time to wake up. I opened my eyes and looked around. Li Nv has long since disappeared. From then on, the relationship was severed.
Sang Sheng was lying alone in an empty room, looking forward to Lianxiang's longing. One day, while he was thinking about Lian Xiang, suddenly someone pulled the curtain in. When I opened my eyes, it was lotus fragrance. Lianxiang went to the bed and said with a smile, "Hillbilly, am I talking nonsense?" Sang Sheng burst into tears. After a while, he said that he knew he was wrong and asked Lianxiang for help. Lian Xiang said, "You are terminally ill, and there is no cure. I came to say goodbye to you to prove that I am not jealous. " Sang Sheng said sadly, "I have something under my pillow. Please break it for me! " Xiang Lian saw that it was an embroidered shoe, so she took it under the lamp and looked closely. "。 Li Nv suddenly came in, saw Lianxiang, and turned and ran away. Lianxiang blocked the door with her body. Li is so embarrassed that she doesn't know where to go. Sang Sheng scolded Li Nv, and Li Nv was speechless. Lianxiang smiled and said, "I only had the opportunity to confront you face to face today. You said before that you didn't cause Sang Lang's illness. What did you say today? " Li Nv bowed her head and apologized. Lian Xiang said, "How can such a beautiful beauty make enemies for love? "Daughter Li knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, pleading with Lian Xiang to save Sang Sheng.
Lianxiang helped Li Nv up and asked her about her life in detail. Li said, "I am thomas lee's daughter. The boy died young and was buried outside the hospital. I am like a dead silkworm. I still love it. It is my wish to make friends with Sang Lang. It was really not from the heart that led to his death. " Lian Xiang said, "I heard that ghosts are willing to kill people, so that they can always be together in the underworld after death?" Li said, "No, two ghosts are together. It's boring. If you have fun, are there very few young men in the underworld? " Lian Xiang said, "Silly! People can't stand having sex every night, let alone being a ghost? " Daughter Li also asked: "I heard that foxes can be charming to death." What magic can you do to avoid all this? " Lian Xiang said, "You are talking about taking human sperm to nourish your own fox. I'm not that kind of person. Therefore, there are foxes that do not harm people, and there is no ghost that does not harm people. This is because the ghost's yin is too strong! " After listening to their conversation, Sang Sheng realized that ghosts and foxes are real. Fortunately, we have been together for a long time and are not afraid at all. But the thought of becoming a dying man made me cry. Lian Xiang asked Li Nv, "Do you have any way to save Sang Lang?" Li Nv blushed and shook her head, saying that there was nothing she could do. Lianxiang said with a smile, "I'm afraid that when Sang Lang becomes strong, Mrs. Vinegar will eat Yangmei again." Daughter Li bowed down and said, "If a clever doctor saved Sang Lang and made me feel guilty, I would be honest in the underworld. How dare I come to earth again! " Lianxiang untied the medicine bag, took out the medicine and said, "I knew it was today." After parting, I traveled all over three mountains and five mountains to collect herbs. It took me more than three months to complete the prescription. People who are overworked and waiting for death will not recover after taking it. However, no matter who caused it, no matter who prescribed it, you must be asked for your full help. "Li asked," what do you need? "Lian Xiang said," It's just a little saliva in the small mouth of the cherry. I put the pill in his mouth, please send it down with saliva. " Hearing this, Li Nv blushed and looked down at embroidered shoes. Lianxiang teased: "My sister is most proud of embroidered shoes!" Li felt even more ashamed and ashamed. Lianxiang added, "Isn't this your usual skill? Why are you so stingy today? " Then put the pill in Sang Sheng's mouth, turned around and urged Li Nv. Li had to give saliva mouth to mouth. Lian Xiang said, "Spit again. Li vomited three or four times before sending the medicine down. "。 Soon, I heard Sang Sheng's stomach ring like thunder. Lianxiang gave him another pill and personally cared for his lips. Sang Sheng felt that Dantian was hot and refreshing. Lian Xiang said, "I'm fine." At this moment, the rooster crowed, and Li Nv said goodbye hesitantly.
Lotus fragrance needs to be nursed back to health because the mulberry recovers early. In particular, I didn't eat or drink, and the courtyard door was locked, which made people mistakenly think that Sang Sheng had gone home, so as to isolate the outside world and take care of him day and night. Daughter Li will also come to care about me every night. Serving Lian Xiang is like being a sister. Lianxiang loves her, too. Three months later, Sang Sheng made a full recovery. Since then, Li Nv hasn't come for several nights. Sometimes I come, but I just take a look and leave. I am always unhappy when I sit. Lian Xiang has repeatedly asked her to sleep with Sang Sheng, but she refused. Once sang sheng caught up with her and forced her back, thinking that she was as light as a grass man. Daughter Li couldn't leave, so when she came back, she lay down in her clothes and curled up less than two feet long. Lian Xiang loves her more and more, and motioned for Sang Sheng to hug her, but in any case, she couldn't wake up. Sang Sheng had no choice but to sleep by himself. When I woke up looking for her, I disappeared again. Ten days later, Li Nv never came again. Sang Sheng misses her very much and often takes out embroidered shoes to play with Lian Xiang. Lian Xiang said, "I like such a beautiful woman when I see her, not to mention you men?" Sang Sheng said: "Before, she embroidered shoes and arrived soon. It was suspicious, but I never thought she was a ghost. It's so sad to see people wearing shoes now. " As she spoke, she burst into tears.
Before that, there was a rich man named Zhang. His daughter, Yan 'er, died at the age of fifteen. After a night, I woke up again, opened my eyes, got up and ran outside. Rich Zhang Man hurriedly closed the door, but she couldn't get out, so she said to herself, "I am the soul of thomas lee's daughter. Thanks to the care of Sang Lang, he still has the embroidered shoes I gave him. I am really a ghost, what good is it to lock me up! " Zhang Weng listened to her for some reason and asked her why she came here. Yaner looked down and couldn't explain clearly. Someone nearby said that Sang Sheng had gone home for illness, but Yaner insisted that she didn't, and her family was very suspicious. When the Oriental scholar heard about this, he secretly observed Sang Sheng's residence from the city wall. When he saw Sang Sheng talking to a beautiful woman, he suddenly cut in. In a hurry, the woman disappeared. The neighbor was very surprised and asked Sang Sheng again and again. Sang Sheng said with a smile, "I told you in the past that I will keep the female when she comes!" " The neighbor told Sang Sheng what Yaner had just said. Sang Sheng immediately unlocked the door and wanted to ask. But on second thought, there is no reason to go, which is very distressing.
Zhang Mu became more and more surprised when she heard that Sang Sheng didn't come home. She sent a maid to Sanson to embroider shoes. Sang Sheng gave her the shoes. Yaner was very happy to see the embroidered shoes and tried them on quickly, but the embroidered shoes were more than an inch smaller than her feet. Surprised, she looked in the mirror and vaguely realized that she was born again. So he told me in detail what happened before, but Zhang Mu didn't believe me. Yaner cried in front of the mirror and said, "I was confident in my appearance, but every time I saw Sister Lianxiang, I felt ashamed. Since this is the case, it is better to be a ghost! " Holding embroidered shoes and crying loudly, no one can stop it. After crying, I covered myself with a quilt and lay in bed without eating. Soon, the whole body was swollen, I didn't eat for seven days, and I didn't die, but the edema gradually disappeared. After that, she was hungry and began to eat. After a few days, it itched and peeled off. I fell off my shoes when I got up in the morning. I lifted them up and put them on again. They are fat and big. Try this pair of old embroidered shoes. They are just right. She likes it very much, and her eyebrows are as happy as before when she looks in the mirror. When I got dressed and went to see my mother, everyone who saw her was very happy.
Lianxiang heard this anecdote and advised Sang Sheng to propose to the Zhang family. Sang Sheng felt the disparity between the rich and the poor, and dared not mention it abruptly. Soon, every mother Zhang's birthday, Sang Sheng took the sons-in-law of the Zhang family to celebrate her birthday. When Zhang Mu saw Sang Sheng's name on the post, she asked Yaner to hide behind the curtain and secretly identify it. Sang Sheng was the last one to arrive. Yan Er hurried forward and grabbed Sang Sheng's sleeve to go home with him. Mother scolded her, and Yaner went back to the house shyly. Sang Sheng carefully identified Yaner, and it was indeed the rebirth of Li Nv. She couldn't help crying and fell down in front of Zhang Mu. Mother Zhang hurried forward to help him up, and did not despise him. After Sang Sheng came out, she proposed to Yan Er's uncle. Mother Zhang promised a good life and recruited Sang Sheng as a son-in-law. Sang Sheng went back and told Lian Xiang about it and discussed what to do. Lianxiang was sad for quite a while before she decided to break up with Sang Sheng. Sang Sheng was shocked and burst into tears. Lianxiang said, "You've married someone else's adopted daughter-in-law. I'll go with you. What face is there? " On second thought, Sang Sheng decided to send Lian Xiang home first, and then come back to marry Yan Er. Lianxiang agreed. Sang Sheng told the truth to the Zhang family. The Zhang family heard that he had a wife and scolded him angrily. Yaner tried to defend Sang Sheng, and Zhang agreed to Sang Sheng's request.
On the wedding day, Sang Sheng went to marry Yan Er himself. His home decoration was not decent, but when he came back from the wedding, from the gate to the new house, it was all carpets; Thousands of lanterns and candles shine like daytime. Lianxiang helped the bride into the bridal chamber. When the veil was lifted, they were as happy as before. Lianxiang accompanied them to the wedding banquet and asked in detail about Yaner's resurrection. Yaner said, "After I left that day, I felt very depressed and ashamed to see you. I decided never to go back to my grave, so I drifted in the wind. Every time I see people in the world, I envy them. Hide in the grass during the day and walk by yourself at night. I accidentally went to Zhangjia and saw a young girl dying in bed. The soul is attached to her, but I didn't expect to really live. " Lianxiang listened, silent for a long time, as if thinking about something.
Two months later, Lianxiang gave birth to a son. Postpartum illness is getting worse and worse. She took Yaner's hand and said, "I have to entrust the child to you. I hope you can raise him as your own son. " Yaner shed tears and tried to comfort her. I tried to call a doctor for her several times, but Lianxiang refused. Seeing Lianxiang dying, there was only one breath left, and Sang Sheng and Yan Er were so sad that they began to cry. Suddenly she opened her eyes again and said, "Don't do this. You want me to live, but I want to die. If there is a fate, we can meet again in ten years. " Then he died. When she was asked to dress her in a shroud, she became a fox. Sang Sheng could not bear to treat her differently, but buried her with a grand funeral.
Lianxiang's child is named fox. Yaner treats him as his own. Every time I go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, I take him to Lianxiang's grave to cry and sacrifice. Later, Sang Sheng won the juren exam, and the family gradually became rich. Yaner has been worrying about not having children. The fox is clever, but weak and sick. Yaner often advises Sang Sheng to marry another concubine.
One day, the maid suddenly came to report: "There is an old woman outside the door, leading a girl to sell." Yaner, let me take you in. When we first met, we were surprised and said, "Sister Lianxiang has been reincarnated!" Sang Shengzai looked at the girl carefully. She looked like Lian Xiang and was surprised. Then he asked, "How old are you?" The answer is: "fourteen years old." Ask again: "How much is the engagement fee?" The old woman replied, "I am a lonely old woman." I only have one daughter. I hope I can find a good family. I also have a place to eat. In the future, old bones will not be left in the barren hills and valleys, which is enough. " Sang Sheng paid more money for the girl.
Yaner took the girl's hand and walked into the back room. She raised her chin and asked with a smile, "Do you know me?" The girl replied, "I don't know." When asked about her life, the girl said, "My surname is Wei, and my father has been selling wine for three years." Yaner pinched her finger, and Lianxiang had been dead for fourteen years. Then carefully observe the girl's appearance and expression, like lotus fragrance everywhere. So she patted her head and shouted, "Sister Lian! Sister Lian! You really didn't lie to me when you said goodbye in ten years. " The girl let out a cry like waking up from a big dream and stared at Yaner carefully. Sang Sheng smiled happily and said, "This is really deja vu!" The girl said with tears: "Yes! According to my mother, I can speak as soon as I was born. My family thinks this is an ominous sign. Drink dog blood and forget the cause and effect of past lives. Today, I woke up from a dream. Madam, are you the sister Li who doesn't want to be a ghost? " Three people * * * with memories of past lives, mixed feelings.
On the day of the Cold Food Festival, Yaner said, "Today is the day when Sang Lang and I cry for our sister every year." They took the girl to Lianxiang's tomb, and saw weeds and trees growing tall in the cemetery. The girl also sighed sadly. Yaner said to Sang Sheng, "Sister Lian Xiang and I are good friends, and we can't bear to part. We should bury the bones of our previous lives together. " Sang Sheng listened to her advice, dug up Li's grave, took out the bones and took them back to be buried with Lian Xiang. Knowing this strange thing, relatives and friends all wore Qing Ji's clothes to watch the funeral, and hundreds of people unexpectedly arrived.
1949 Swim south to Yizhou, can't go in rainy days, and stay in a hotel. The cousin of the Sangsang family, a man named, took out a biography of Sangsang written by fellow villager Wang with more than 10,000 words, so that I could have a closer look. This is just the general situation of the story.
Yi Shi said: Oh! The dead want to live, but the living want to die. Isn't this the most rare thing in the world? Unfortunately, people who own this body often put it aside (just don't care about this body), so that when they are cheeky, they are not as good as foxes (Lianxiang), and they are not as good as ghosts (Li) when they die quietly.
