Tang Dynasty Wang Li, the magistrate of Yugan County, Jiangxi Province, has expired and is required to transfer another position. He rents a house in the capital Chang'an and waits for the transfer. But he didn't know that the documents he sent were wrong. He was refuted by the chief officer and did not assign a new position.
He was anxious, spending money to exercise and asking others for mercy. He spent all the money he brought, but it was still like a rock sinking into the sea, without any further information. The more he waited, he became more and more anxious. Later, the servant left and sold his mount. It was difficult to make all three meals a day. He became a foreign land and was extremely poor and worried. Every day he had to go to various Buddhist temples to beg for some leftovers to fill his stomach.
One day, when I returned from begging for food, I met a beautiful woman on the road, who was in the same direction as him, sometimes before, sometimes behind, sometimes behind, and sometimes walking side by side, and then started chatting with her. Wang Li had a solemn expression, and the two had a very speculative conversation. Wang Li invited her to the apartment to sit, and the beautiful woman did not refuse and went with him. The two became more and more intimate, and the woman lived with him that night.
The next day, the woman said, "Why is the life of an official so poor? I live in Chongrenli , and my family is still acceptable. Can you live with me?" Wang Li loved her beautiful and gentle, and wanted to live with her to have food and clothing, so she said, "I'm not lucky and in a mess. I'm so happy that you treat me so kindly, but I don't know why you make a living?" The woman said, "My husband is in business. He has been dead for ten years, and is in Chang'an in . There is also a shop on in the city. I go to the store to do business every morning and come home to serve you in the evening. As long as my store can earn 300 yuan a day, the household income is enough. The documents sent by the officials have not been issued yet. They have to go to have fun with friends, and there is no fee. As long as you don’t dislike me, you might as well live here. When the department selects officials and transfers them in winter, it is not too late for the officials to take office again. "
Wang Li was very grateful and secretly rejoices in his heart, so the two lived together in the woman's house. The woman was well-organized and very capable in business. She respected Wang Li very much and handed over all the keys to the door of the house.
Before going to the shop in the morning, the woman must arrange her food and food for the whole day. When she goes home in the evening, she must bring rice, meat and money to Wang Li. This is done every day, and she never lacks it. Seeing that she worked so hard, Wang Li advised her to buy a slave as a helper. The woman said it was not necessary, so Wang Li didn't force her.
The two lived a happy life. After a year, they gave birth to a son. The woman went home to feed her once a day at noon. Living together like this for two years. One day, the woman looked miserable when she returned home in the evening and told Wang Li: "I have a big enemy who is full of resentment. I have been having a long time and have been seeking revenge on this person. I have just got what I want today and must leave the capital immediately. The official asked to take care of himself. This house was built for 500 stagnant coins. The house was hidden in the screen. All the supplies and wealth in the house were given to the official. I can't carry the baby. He is the official's biological flesh and blood. Please take care of him in the future." While saying that, he cried and said goodbye to him. Wang Li tried his best to keep him, but how could he stay?
As soon as I glanced at it, I saw that the woman was carrying a skin bag in her hand, which was filled with a head. Wang Li was shocked. The woman smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, this matter has nothing to do with the official, and it won't be exhausted." As she said that, she lifted her skin and jumped out of the wall, her body was light and as if she was flying birds. Wang Li hurriedly opened the door and chased him out, but he had already disappeared.
He was melancholy and depressed, wandering alone in the courtyard, suddenly he heard the voice of the woman outside the door and turned back. Wang Li was overjoyed and hurriedly went out to greet him. The woman said, "I really can't bear to leave the child. I want to feed him milk again." She picked up the child and let him have a breastfeed. She felt pity and couldn't help herself. After caring for a long time, she finally let go of the child and left. Wang Li sent it out and came back into the room. When he raised the lamp and uncovered the tent to see his son, he saw blood in the bed, and the child was already in a different place.
Wang Li was in a panic and couldn't sleep all night. After burying the child, he did not dare to live in the house anymore. He took money and bought another servant. He left Chang'an City to avoid the nearby small counties and watch the movement.
After a long time, I didn’t hear the murder.Wang Li finally sent an official position, so he sold the house and took office as an official, and never heard of the woman again.
