There is an abandoned house in Lin'an County. Because people have died in the past, it is often haunted. The owner sold it at a low price.
There is a local scholar named Li Hua, who comes from a poor family. During a storm, the crumbling thatched house was completely destroyed.
was forced to have no choice, so Li Hua had no choice but to buy the house here, tidied it up briefly, and then moved in with his family. At least he had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
After living there for a while, everything was fine, Li Hua felt relieved and thought that the haunting was just a rumor, so he concentrated on preparing for the imperial examination.
Half a year later, Li Hua's wife suddenly fell ill and could not afford to be ill. She often had nightmares in the middle of the night and kept saying there was a ghost.
Li Hua then became afraid and spent all his wealth to hire a doctor to treat his wife, but in the end he still could not keep his wife. A few days later, his wife died and passed away.
The couple had a deep relationship. Li Hua was heartbroken and cried all day long. With the comfort of family and friends, I slowly came out of the gloom, worked harder and just immersed myself in studying.
One night, just as Li Hua lay down, someone suddenly put his hand into the quilt and touched it repeatedly.
Li Hua got up hurriedly and took a look under the moonlight. It turned out to be an old maid with curled ears, disheveled hair and extremely fat.
Li Hua discovered that it was a ghost and was so frightened that he jumped up and screamed again and again. Seeing that her appearance frightened the other party, the maid felt ashamed, retracted her hand and walked away with small steps.
After a while, a girl appeared in front of the bed. Through the light, Li Hua saw that although she was slim and graceful, she came to the light regardless. She pointed at Li Hua and yelled: "What a bold scholar. "Sleep here!"
Li Hua was very angry after being scolded for no reason. He didn't care whether she was a ghost or a demon, and said loudly: "I am the owner of this house, why can't I live there? Who are you?" Why are you scolding me?"
stood up and went to chase the girl. Seeing that the girl was not afraid of her, the girl hurriedly ran away.
A few steps away, Li Hua blocked the way back. The girl had no choice but to come back and sit down on the bed.
Li Hua calmed down, but was still a little scared. He stared at the girl from a distance. She was not angry but happy, and said with a smile: "Aren't arrogant guys afraid of ghosts? They will kill you!" The girl deliberately frightened Li Hua.
Li Hua was a little scared and asked her where she came from. The girl introduced herself: "My surname is Hua and my nickname is Atuan. Because I married a profligate man by mistake, he was cruel and unkind, and he often tortured and humiliated me. Depressed and unhappy, he was buried in this place for more than 20 years. There are graves under this house. "
Li Hua asked again: "Who was that old maid just now?" Duan said: "She is also a ghost, who specially serves me. If there is a living person living here, the peace of the ghost will be affected. That's why I asked her to drive you away."
"Why did she touch me?" Touched?" Li Hua asked confused.
Hua Aduan covered her mouth and snickered, and said: "This girl is in her thirties, has never been married, and has never experienced conjugal affairs. She is quite pitiful, but she is too ignorant of herself. In a word, who If you are timid, the ghost will tease you harder. If you are strong, the ghost will not dare to invade you. "
Suddenly the sound of the morning bell rang in the distance, and Hua Aduan said, "I see you are alone, I will come to play with you again at night. "
In the middle of the night. At the third watch, Hua Aduan appeared at Li Hua's home on time, her red sleeves were fragrant, and she read with him for a while. Li Hua said: "My wife unfortunately passed away. I miss her very much. Can you let me see her?"
Hua Aduan shed tears after hearing his story, and sighed: "I have been dead for twenty Who has missed me once? You are so affectionate. I will try my best to help. However, I heard that she has decided to reincarnate. I don’t know if she is still in the underworld. Let me find out. "
. One night, Hua Aduan came to Li Hua and told him: "Your wife is about to be reincarnated into a wealthy family. Because she wrongly blamed a person during her lifetime, that person hanged himself and died. The case has not yet been resolved and he has been stranded in the underworld. Now she He also lives in the King of Medicine and is guarded day and night.I sent the maid to clear the relationship and she should be back soon. "
Li Hua asked: "Why can you be so idle and free? Hua Aduan replied: "As long as the unjust ghost doesn't take the initiative to report to the Palace of the King of Hell, The King of Hell will not have time to care about these trivial matters." "
At the end of the second watch, the old maid brought Li Hua's wife to meet him.
Li Hua held his wife's hand. The two were extremely sad, weeping, and expressed their love for each other. His wife had tears in her eyes, Speechless.
Upon seeing this, Hua Aduan took the initiative to say goodbye and said: "You two slowly talk about your long separation. I will come back another day and night." "
Li Hua took his wife's hand and asked her with concern about the incident in which she mistakenly blamed someone else and caused the man to hang himself. His wife did not want to say more and only told him: "It doesn't matter, the case will be closed soon. "
The two went to bed and hugged each other. They were affectionate, entangled and happy, living just like when the wife was alive. From then on, the two were inseparable at night, and the wife always accompanied Li Hua to study hard.
Unexpectedly, five days later, the wife suddenly cried and said: "Tomorrow I will be reincarnated in Hunan and we will never see each other again. What should I do? "When
Li Hua heard this, he felt even more inseparable. He burst into tears and was overwhelmed with grief.
Hua Aduan persuaded and said, "I have an idea that will keep you from being separated for a while. "
The couple hurriedly stopped crying and asked what they had to say. Hua Aduan asked Li Hua to take twenty pieces of paper money and burn them under the peach tree in the south hall, and use them to bribe the ghost officer who escorted the reincarnation to give him some grace. .
Li Hua hurriedly agreed, prepared early, and did as he said. After a while, his wife came, overjoyed, hugging Li Hua and said, "Thanks to Miss Duan for letting us get along more." Ten days. "
Li Hua was overjoyed and burst into tears of gratitude to Hua Duan. Then the couple lay in the same bed from dusk to dawn, fearing that they would not have enough joy and time.
After seven or eight days, the time limit was about to expire, and the couple was even more reluctant to leave. He cried non-stop all night and asked Hua Duan to help him find a solution.
Hua Duan thought for a while and said, "Looking at this situation, it is difficult to find a solution. But you can give it a try, it just requires one million dollars from the underworld.
Li Hua burned countless paper money. Hua Aduan said happily: "I asked someone to intercede with the ghost who escorted the reincarnation. It was difficult to explain at first, but later I agreed with more money. Now I have asked other ghosts to reincarnate on my behalf."
From then on, Li Hua's wife no longer leaves during the day. She lets Li Hua close the doors and windows and light candles all day long. The two of them live like a normal couple. With his wife by his side, Li Hua can study more vigorously and get twice the result with half the effort.
After more than a year, Hua Aduan suddenly fell ill. He often felt dizzy, depressed, and confused, as if he had seen a ghost.
Li's wife stroked Hua Duan's head and said pitifully, "This is a ghost disease!"
Li Hua frowned and said, "Miss Duan is already a ghost, what kind of ghost can make her sick?"
Li's wife shook her head and said, "That's not the case. People turn into ghosts after death, and ghosts turn into geese after death. Ghosts are afraid of geese, just as people are afraid of ghosts."
Li Hua wanted to ask a witch doctor for Hua Duan, but Li Hua wanted to ask a witch doctor for Hua Aduan. His wife stopped him and said, "How can a ghost's disease be cured by humans? I know that the neighbor's old lady Wang is now a witch doctor in the underworld, so I can invite her. But it is about ten miles away from here, and my feet are weak. , can't walk, please burn a paper horse for me to ride."
Li Hua did as he was told. As soon as the paper horse was burned, he saw the maid leading a fast horse with red hair and black tail, and handed the reins to Mrs. Li in the yard. Mrs. Li rode the horse and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Not long after, Li's wife came back with an old lady riding a horse and tied the horse to the pillar.
The old lady came into the room and held Hua Aduan's pulse for treatment, then sat upright, her head suddenly started to tremble, and she fell to the ground for a while. After a while,
jumped up and said: "I am the King of Montenegro.This girl's condition is very serious. Fortunately, she met a little god, and she is very blessed! This is a disaster caused by the ghost of karma, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter! It's just that after I recover from the illness, I must be given a generous reward, no less than one hundred silver coins, one hundred strings of money, and a sumptuous banquet. It is a must. "
Mrs. Li agreed one by one. The old lady fell to the ground and woke up. She shouted to the patient and was cured.
Before the old lady left, Mrs. Li diligently sent her to the hospital. Outside the door, he gave her a paper horse, and she left happily.
Li's wife went into the house again to see Hua Duan. Her condition gradually improved and she gradually regained consciousness. The couple was extremely excited and comforted her with kind words.
Hua Aduan suddenly said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come to the world again. Now when I close my eyes, I see the wronged ghost. This is my fate! "
After saying this, she shed tears sadly. After another night, her condition suddenly became more serious and her life was in danger. She was bent and shaking, and she was very scared, as if she had seen something.
She grabbed Li's wife and asked her to lie with her. Together, they buried their heads in Li's wife's arms, as if they were hiding something, afraid of being caught.
As soon as Li's wife got up, she screamed uneasily.
The couple was helpless for six or seven days. Hua went out to do business, and when he came home at night, he heard his wife's heartbreaking cries.
Li Hua panicked, and hurriedly ran in and asked what happened.
He saw that Miss Duan was dead. On the bed, the clothes were still there.
When he opened them, he saw a real skeleton. Li Hua was extremely sad and buried her next to his ancestor's grave according to human burial.
One night, his wife sobbed in her dream.
Li Hua woke up his wife and asked why she was crying. She replied: "I just dreamed that Miss Duan came and said that her husband had turned into a ghost. He was angry with her for not keeping her chastity in the underworld and wanted her with a grudge. Let me give her a dojo.
Li Hua kept this in mind, got up early, and prepared to do as he was told. His wife stopped him and said, "You, a human being, cannot transcend ghosts, so let me do it!" "
then stood up and left. After a while, the wife came back and said: "I have sent people to invite the monks, but I still need to burn paper money as payment. "
Li Hua did as he said. The sun had just set, and all the monks had arrived. The copper cymbals and drums used were exactly the same as those in the human world.
His wife said from time to time that the sound was deafening, but Li Hua couldn't hear it at all.
Finished After the dojo, the wife dreamed that Aduan came to express her gratitude and said: "The hatred has been eliminated, and I will be born as the daughter of the City God. Please tell Li Hua. "
My wife has lived at home for three years. My family was very scared when they first heard about it, but they were no longer afraid after they got used to it.
When Li Hua was away, his family often reported family affairs through the window.
One night, his wife cried and said to Li Hua again : "The officer who escorted me to reincarnation before was exposed for his bribery and fraud. He was severely punished. I'm afraid we can't be together for a long time.
Sure enough, a few days later, my wife suddenly fell ill. She said sadly: "Because I fell in love with you, I originally only wanted to die and not be reborn." Now we are about to say goodbye forever, is it fate?
Li Hua was heartbroken and asked for advice in fear. His wife said: "There is no way to save it now." "
Li Hua asked worriedly: "Are you going to be punished? The wife said, "There will be a slight punishment." However, stealing a life is a big crime, stealing death is a small crime. "
After saying that, he stopped moving. When he looked carefully, his face and body gradually disappeared. Li Hua was finally admitted to the Jinshi. He always believed that this was the blessing of his wife.
After moving, he often lived alone in an abandoned house. Here, I look at things and think about my feelings, hoping to meet old friends by chance, but things are different and people are always calm and peaceful, so I can only feel sad
