Scholar Yang Yuwei moved his family to the shore of Surabaya in order to study quietly. His study faced the wilderness. There were many ancient tombs outside the walls. Next to the tombs was a poplar forest. The wind blew the leaves at night, and the sound was like raging waves.
Late at night, Yang Yuwei was reading by candlelight. Listening to the music, he felt extremely desolate in his heart. At this time, I suddenly heard someone reciting a poem outside the wall: "The miserable wind blows in the dark night, and the flowing fireflies stir up the grass and stick to the curtains." He chanted repeatedly, and the tone was sad and sad.
Yang Yuwei listened carefully. The voice was euphemistic and delicate, as if it was a woman's. He was very confused, where did this woman come from in this wilderness in the middle of the night?
At dawn, Yang Yuwei walked outside the wall to look, but there was no sign of anyone. He only saw a purple ribbon left among the thorns, so he picked it up and put it on the windowsill.
After the second watch that night, Yang Yuwei heard the woman's chanting again, and he still chanted those two lines of poetry over and over again. Yang Yuwei moved a stool and placed it at the foot of the wall. He stood on the stool and stretched his head outside the wall to see, but the chanting suddenly stopped.
Yang Yuwei immediately understood that the chanter must be a ghost. But that sad and miserable emotion aroused his deep sympathy and incomparable love.
The next night, Yang Yuwei was lying on the wall waiting very early. After the first watch, I suddenly saw a woman walking out of the grass, holding on to the small tree, lowering her head and reciting the two lines of poetry.
Yang Yuwei coughed lightly, and the woman hurriedly walked into the grass.
Yang Yuwei came down from the top of the wall and waited under the wall. After a while, the woman came out again and chanted: "The miserable wind blows backwards in the dark night, and the flowing fireflies stir up the grass and stick to the curtains." Yang Yuwei then went through the wall and continued: "Who can see the deep emotions and bitter emotions? When the cold moon rises alone in the green sleeves, "
Yang Yuwei chanted and listened for a long time. There was no sound at all, so he turned around and went back to the study.
Just as he sat down, he suddenly saw a beautiful girl coming in from outside and saluting him: "You are indeed a learned and elegant scholar, but I am too worried to come close to you." ·
Yang Yuwei was overjoyed. , and pulled the girl to sit down. But seeing that she was thin, too weak to wear clothes, and timid and reserved, he asked: "Where is your home? Have you been living here for a long time?"
The girl said: "I am from Longxi, and I followed my father to live here. I It has been more than twenty years since I died of a sudden illness at the age of seventeen. I am lonely in this wilderness, like a lonely goose. I wrote this poem myself. I have been thinking about it for a long time and I can’t continue it. I leave it to you today. "Continue, I am grateful to you even under Jiuquan."
Yang Yuwei asked to sleep with the girl. The girl frowned and said, "I am a ghost that haunts the night. I am different from strangers. If you do that kind of thing, your life will be shortened." "I really don't want to hurt you, let's sit down and talk."
Yang Yuwei stared at the girl's feet. The girl lowered her head and smiled: "Why are you always staring at my feet?" Yu Wei saw her wearing a pair of white brocade socks and asked, "One of your socks is tied with a colored thread and the other is tied with a purple ribbon. Why don't you both use ribbons?"
The girl said, "Because I was avoiding you last night, I was in a panic. Where did it fall?" Yang Yuwei smiled slightly and said, "I'll change it for you." He took the purple belt from the window sill and handed it to the girl. The girl asked in surprise: "How come you have this belt?" Yang Yuwei told her what happened.
The girl tied up her garter belt and flipped through the books on the desk. Suddenly she pulled out a book " Lianchang Palace Ci " ( a famous long poem written by Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty ), and said with emotion: "I am alive. When I was young, I loved reading this poem. Goodbye today is like a dream. "
Yang Yuwei talked about poetry with the girl and found that she was smart, smart and very cute. The two of them had similar minds, and the conversation became more and more energetic. It wasn't until Dongfang turned pale that the girl got up and left.
From this day on, every night, as long as you hear the sound of gentle chanting, the girl will come after a while. As soon as she arrived, the two started talking animatedly, like a gathering of good friends.
The girl often warned Yang Yuwei to keep secrets and not to leak her affairs, because she had been timid since she was a child, for fear of being bullied by bad people. Yang Yuwei agreed wholeheartedly.
The two of them love each other, and their relationship is better than that of a couple. They often stay together all night long, but they never mess around. Sometimes when Yang Yuwei was reading under the lamp, the girl would help him copy articles. Her handwriting is dignified, beautiful and very beautiful.
The girl chose another hundred palace poems, Gong Gongzheng transcribed them, and recited them together with Yang Yuwei.
In order to add to the fun, the girl asked Yang Yuwei to buy a chessboard and Pipa , and taught Yang Yuwei how to play Go every night.
The two played chess for a while, then the girl picked up the pipa, plucked the strings, and played a piece of "Light Rain on the Banana Window". The tune was so sad and desolate that Yang Yuwei was so sad that he couldn't listen to it anymore. Then he changed to "Xiaoyuan Yingsheng". The joyful and light music immediately made Yang Yuwei feel relaxed and happy, and his spirit was uplifted.
The two sang and danced under the lamp, often so happy that they forgot about the dawn. Seeing the dawn on the window, the girl left in a panic.
One day, a scholar named Xue came to visit Yang Yuwei. Yang Yuwei was taking a nap, so he did not wake him up. Looking around the room, I saw a newly added chessboard and pipa. He knew that Yang Yuwei didn't usually play with these things, so why did he need them now?
Xue Sheng flipped through the manuscripts on the desk again and came across the palace poems copied by the girl. Looking at the glyph, it looked dignified and graceful, as if it were a woman's handwriting, and I became even more confused.
At this time, Yang Yuwei woke up, and Xue Sheng pointed to the pipa and chessboard and asked, "Where did these things come from?" Yang Yuwei said, "I bought them myself. I want to learn them."
Xue Sheng Picking up the poem volume, he asked again: "So, what about this one?" Yang Yuwei said: "I borrowed it from a friend." "Book."
Xue Sheng said with a smile: "This is obviously a girl's nickname, why are you deceiving me like this!" Yang Yuwei was very embarrassed, blushing and unable to answer for a long time.
Xue Sheng saw him like this and questioned him even more intensely. Yang Yuwei hesitated, refusing to tell the truth. Xue Sheng threatened him by not returning the poem, but Yang Yuwei had no choice but to tell him the truth.
Xue Sheng asked to see Lian Suo, and Yang Yuwei told him what Lian Suo had told him. Xue Sheng heard about it. He admired her even more and asked to see this versatile woman. Yang Yuwei had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
At night, Lian Suo came, and Yang Yuwei told Xue Sheng what he wanted to see her. Lian Suo was very angry after hearing this and said, "No matter what I told you before, you just kept talking about leaking secrets to others."
Yang Yuwei defended himself, saying that he really had no choice. Lian Suo said sadly: "No need to say it anymore, my fate with you is over!" Yang Yuwei comforted and explained in every possible way, but Lian Suo frowned and was always unhappy, so he stood up and said, "I'd better avoid it." Come on, go away.
The next day, Xue Sheng came again, and Yang Yuwei told Lian Suo that he did not want to meet. Xue Sheng thought that Yang Yuwei was deliberately avoiding it, and was very unhappy.
That night, Xue Sheng invited two classmates and friends to Yang Yuwei's residence. They talked, laughed, and made noise all night long, deliberately causing trouble. Although Yang Yuwei was very unhappy, there was nothing he could do about them.
The three of them kept making noises for several nights, but finally didn't see Lian Suo, so they planned to leave. Unexpectedly, just as the noise subsided, I heard the sound of poetry reciting from outside the wall. The three of them listened carefully, and the tone was sad and sad, which made people grief-stricken.
Xue Sheng was listening attentively. One of them, Wang, a martial artist, picked up a stone and threw it outside the wall. He shouted: "Pretend not to come out to see us, and what good poems are you reciting? Sad and sad, lively." People are suffocated to death!" The chanting stopped immediately.
Xue Sheng and others spent several nights and finally heard Lian Suo's voice. Unexpectedly, Wang Sheng made trouble and scared Lian Suo away again. Everyone complained about him. Yang Yuwei was even more angry and blamed Wang Sheng.
The next day, the group left very disappointed. At night, Yang Yuwei sat alone in his study, hoping that Lian Suo would come again. He waited eagerly until dawn, but he didn't even see a shadow.
Two days later, Lian Zuo suddenly came, crying and saying: "You have attracted some bad friends, and you almost scared me."Yang Yuwei was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized to her and asked her to forgive him.
Unexpectedly, Lian Suo walked out of the door immediately and turned around and said, "I said that our fate is over, let's part ways from now on! "Yang Yuwei hurriedly tried to persuade Lian Suo to stay and not let her go, but as soon as he blinked, he disappeared.
From then on, Lian Suo didn't see her again for more than a month. Yang Yuwei missed her day and night, couldn't eat or sleep well, and was so thin. It turned into a handful of bones. He deeply complained that he had not listened to Lian Suo's instructions.
Late one night, Yang Yuwei was drinking alone in his study when he suddenly saw Lian Suo opening the door and coming in. He was overjoyed and stood up hurriedly. He went up to him and said, "Have you forgiven me? " Lian Suo didn't speak, but tears fell down.
Yang Yuwei hurriedly asked her why she was crying. Lian Suo opened his mouth, wanted to say something but held back. After a while, he said: "I'm not angry. You left, and now I come to you again when something urgent comes up. I'm really embarrassed to speak.
Yang Yuwei asked again and again, and Lian Suocai said, "A dirty little official came from nowhere and forced me to be his concubine." You think, I am a descendant of an innocent family, how can I submit to a ghost official? But how can I, a weak woman, resist him? If you think about our past friendship, you will never stand idly by! "
Yang Yuwei was furious after hearing this, but considering that Yin and Yang were separated, he couldn't help Lian Suo, and he was very anxious. Lian Suo said: "It doesn't matter, you go to bed early tonight, I invite you to come in your dream Just help me. "
So the two sat down and talked heart-to-heart again until the east turned white. Before Lian Suo left, he asked Yang Yuwei not to sleep during the day and to wait until they met in dreams at night. Yang Yuwei said "yes" repeatedly.
The next day In the evening, Yang Yuwei drank a few glasses of wine, and while he was drunk, he went to bed and lay down in his clothes.
Suddenly he saw Lian Suo coming and handed him a saber. Let's go.
The two of them came to a courtyard and just closed the door to talk. Suddenly they heard someone smashing the door with stones, and Lian Suo said in panic: "The enemy is coming! "
Yang Yuwei was furious, opened the door and rushed out. He saw a man wearing a red hat and green cloth clothes, with a beard like a hedgehog around his mouth. Yang Yuwei pointed at the guy and angrily He scolded him.
The guy immediately raised his eyebrows and cursed, and his words were vicious and unreasonable. Yang Yuwei was furious, and he raised his sword and rushed towards the guy.
He threw a stone at him. Then one hit Yang Yuwei like a sudden storm. Yang Yuwei was unable to avoid it. He was already hit by a stone on his wrist.
At this critical moment, he saw it from a distance. A man was out hunting with a bow and arrow hanging from his waist. Yang Yuwei identified the man carefully, and it was Wang Sheng who threw stones that night. He shouted for help. When Wang Sheng heard the cry for help, he hurriedly drew his bow and shot an arrow. On the evil official's thigh; another arrow hit his throat, and the evil official died.
Yang Yuwei was overjoyed and walked over to thank Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng asked him why he fought the evil official, and Yang Yuwei told him the reason. He.
Wang Sheng liked it very much, thinking that it could atone for the crime of throwing stones last time, so he and Yang Yuwei came to Lian Suo's room. Lian Suo was afraid and ashamed when he saw Wang Sheng. Standing on the ground without saying a word.
Wang Sheng saw a small knife in a box on the table. Although it was only a foot long, it was decorated with gold and jade. Well, I couldn't put it down.
Wang Sheng saw that Lian Suo was afraid, so he put down his knife and left. When he reached the wall, he climbed over the wall, but unexpectedly, he fell down.
Yang Yuwei was frightened. He jumped and woke up, it turned out to be a dream. At this time, the field was filled with the crow of chickens, and he suddenly felt a severe pain in his wrist. When it was dawn, he saw that his skin and flesh were red and swollen. At noon, Wang Sheng came. After he sat down, he said that he had a strange dream last night. Yang Yuwei asked: "Did you dream of shooting down a bad official?" Wang Sheng said: "How do you know?" "Yang Yuwei stretched out his hand to him and recounted his dream last night in detail.
Wang Sheng recalled Lian Suo's appearance in his dream and wished he could see her right away. He believed that he had contributed to Lian Suo, so he made this request to Yang Yuwei. Yang Yuwei agreed.
At night, Lian Suo came to thank Yang Yuwei. Yang Yuwei gave credit to Wang Sheng, and then explained Wang Sheng's request. Lian Suo heard this and said, "I can't thank Wang Sheng enough for his help, but he is a brave warrior. I was a little scared when I saw him."
After a pause, Lian Suo said again, "He is not a lover." My sword? My father bought it when he was on a mission to southern Guangdong. He gave it to me because I liked it. I decorated it with gold threads and pearls. When he died, I was willing to give it to him as a gift. , When he saw the knife, it was as if he saw me. "
The next day, Yang Yuwei told Wang Sheng what Lian Suo meant. Wang Sheng was very happy after hearing this.
At night, Lian Suo brought the knife and said, "Please tell Wang Sheng to take good care of this thing. You must know that this knife is an overseas treasure, not a Chinese thing."
From then on, the two of them kept in touch. After a few months of this, one night, Lian Suo looked at Yang Yuwei under the lamp and just smiled, his face red, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't get it out of his mouth.
Yang Yuwei hugged her and asked her several times, before Lian Suo blushed and said shyly: "I have been attached to her for a long time. I have been influenced by the popularity. I eat fireworks and food every day, and my bones are already alive." But only with your essence and blood can I be resurrected."
Yang Yuwei said happily: "Just because you don't want to, what else can I be reluctant to give up?" Lian Suo said, "It's just that after we have sex, you will have twenty children. He has been seriously ill for many days, but it doesn't matter. There is medicine to cure him. "
The next day, when it was getting dark, Lian Suo got up and said to Yang Yuwei, "You have to remember that I won't come in a hundred days. There was a bluebird singing on the top of the tree, so I hurriedly dug up the grave." After leaving the house, he turned back and warned: "Don't forget, not too early or too late for a hundred days."
More than ten years have passed. Oh my God, Yang Yuwei was really sick, and his abdomen was terribly distended and painful. His family hurriedly treated him with medicine, and his condition gradually improved. Twelve days later, he was cured.
In a blink of an eye, the 100-day period was approaching, so Yang Yuwei asked his family to take hoes, shovels and other tools to wait in front of Lian Suo's grave.
When the sun was about to set, I saw two bluebirds singing in the tree. Yang Yuwei was overjoyed and ordered his family to dig the grave quickly.
The family members quickly cut away the thorns and weeds on the grave and dug the grave. They saw that the coffin had decayed, but Lian Suo's face looked as if he was alive.
Yang Yuwei leaned over and touched Lian Suo's body. He felt it was a little warm, so he quickly covered her with clothes and asked his family to take her home.
Yang Yuwei put Lian Suo into the warm room. After a while, he heard her breathing slightly. He fed her soup and she was slowly able to swallow it.
Lian Suo woke up in the middle of the night. Later, he and Yang Yuwei became husband and wife. She often said to Yang Yuwei: "For more than 20 years, I seem to have had a dream."
