There is a man named Zhang Yi in Changle Village, Yuyu County, Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. His parents died since childhood. He usually relied on doing some small business, but he has always been a righteous person and has not saved much money, so he still did not marry at his thirty years old.
On a day, he sold some groceries to the county to sell, but unexpectedly delayed his return journey. He only found a small inn on the outskirts of the city late at night, but the store was full.
Zhang Yi saw that the road was far away late at night, so he begged. The owner said that an empty room was locked in the wall and no one lived there. Zhang Yi felt strange and asked, "Why don't you open this room for someone to live in?"
The owner said, "There was a woman in this room who hanged her to death. She often caused trouble. Now she dared not leave customers there."
Zhang Yi patted her chest and said, "If there is really a ghost, I'm not afraid!"
The owner insisted that he opened the door, handed him a oil lamp and a broom, and left.
He pushed open the door and saw that the surroundings looked particularly gloomy under the dim lights.
Zhang Yi didn't care. He turned on the lights and saw that there was only one bed in the room, with thick dust piled up and spider webs everywhere. He swept the dust and spider webs with a broom, asked the shop owner to lay out a quilt, then went outside to eat some wine and food, before returning to the room to sleep in a well-dressed clothes.
A gust of cold wind blew, and a beautiful woman with gorgeous clothes walked towards Zhang Yi and said, "My husband is destined to be with me, so I come to meet you."
Zhang Yi bowed and said, "Boy Zhang Yi is polite."
The woman returned, "I have heard that my husband is loyal to you and is very respectful. If you don't mind, I would like to leave with you."
Zhang Yi said, "I will never let you down because of my love."
After he said that, he woke up suddenly, but saw that the woman was really sitting beside him.
Zhang B was bold and thought about everything in front of him. When he recalled what the shop owner said, he asked calmly: "I once heard that a woman in this room was hanged to death. Could it be the little lady?"
The woman was not afraid of it and replied: "That's right, but I have a fate with you and will not be harmful to you. Don't be afraid. I just ask my husband to take me away."
Zhang Yi said, "This is easy, and the villain will die. But why did the little lady seek short-sighted opinions? I hope to hear it carefully."
The woman said, "I was a prostitute, ranked 22, and was called the twenty-two lady. Once, I fell in love with Yang Chuan, a guest from Yu Yu, and Yang Chuan vowed to marry me as a wife. But there was not much money left, so I gave him about a thousand taels of silver and treasures he had collected in private, and made an appointment with three I will help me redeem myself in the future. Unexpectedly, Yangchuan has never come back for three years. I thought about escaping in private, but the madam was very strict in custody and had no choice but to do anything. I was worried and depressed all day long and couldn't wait to go back to Yangchuan, so I hang myself to death. After my death, the madam sold the building to someone else, and it's this store now. So I still rely on this room, but I can't go out. I need someone with destiny to take me out. Today, my husband came."
stop After stopping, the 22nd Lady continued, "Yang Chuan is your fellow countryman, can my husband recognize it?"
Zhang Yi said, "Recognize it."
Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-T After a long time, I was sobbing and left without saying a word. Zhang Yi was worried about Twenty-two Lady and decided to delay leaving for one day.
The next day, the owner saw Zhang Yi having breakfast as if he was fine, and asked in surprise: "How did the customer sleep well last night?"
Zhang Yi said: "It's great, I'll sleep until dawn."
The owner asked again: "Did you hear anything or see something unclean?"
Zhang Yi simply replied: "No. Nothing!"
The owner was secretly surprised, turned around and went to something else.
As the night comes, the twenty-two ladies are coming again. Zhang Yi told her that he was going home at dawn.
Twenty-second lady said, "My husband once promised to take me away. I wonder if it is true?"
Zhang Yi said, "If you walk with me, it would be the best."
Twenty-second lady said, gratefully, "Thank you, my husband.But I am a ghost. If you want to take me away, you have to build a small wooden sign with the words "The Twenty-Two Lady". I would hide it in a box when I went out and hid it. When I used it, I took out a wooden sign and called my name, and I would come out. "
Zhang Yi agreed to her.
Twenty-second lady said again: "I still have 50 taels of silver buried under this bed. No one has noticed it. You can dig it out and use it. "
Zhang Yi dug up the ground and found a can of silver. He was very happy.
At dawn, Zhang Yi made the tablet of Twenty-Two Niang. After collecting it, he left the house.
Back home, Zhang Yi set up the tablet of Twenty-Two Niang on the east wall and called out softly. She immediately walked out, and later she could call it out in broad daylight.
Twenty-Two Niang often guided Zhang Yi to do some popular business, and the 50 taels of silver quickly increased exponentially, and soon he saved a lot of money.
Twenty-Two Niang also often came out to help Zhang Yi take care of housework and make some exquisite side dishes for him to eat. The two were like husband and wife. But Zhang Yi asked for marriage several times to Twenty-Two Niang, but she avoided it because humans and ghosts were different. Instead, he tried his best to persuade Zhang Yi to marry a wife.
Half a year passed in a flash. The twenty-second lady said to Zhang Yi: "I still have a long-standing debt in the county town. Can you accompany me to claim it? "
Zhang Yi admired Twenty-Er's Niang and agreed immediately, and then hired a boat to the county town.
He did not avoid eyes and offered tablets on the boat, chatting and laughing with Twenty-Er's Niang. The boat arrived at the south gate of Raozhou in less than a day.
Twenty-Er's Niang said: "I'll go to the Yang family to collect debts now. "
Zhang Yi was about to ask, but she had suddenly gone ashore and walked quickly, so Zhang Yi had to follow her.
Suddenly, Twenty-second lady broke into a shop and walked into the inner hall, but the shopkeeper was completely invisible and did not stop him. Zhang Yi stepped forward to ask, this was Yang Chuan's home. He had to wait hard in front of the door, but still did not see Twenty-second lady coming out.
Suddenly, the Yang family was panicked, and they cried loudly for a while.
Zhang Yi asked the reason of the family, and the family cried: "Master Yang Chuan has never been sick. Now he has a serious illness and has died of bleeding from his seven orifices. "
Zhang Yi knew it was done by Twenty-two Niang, so he returned to the boat silently.
returned to the boat and shouted at the tablet, but never saw Twenty-two Niang coming out.
I knew that she had a long-standing debt in the county town, which was Yang Chuan's debt. Yang Chuan was dead, Twenty-two Niang's wish was gone, and he must have left.
Zhang Yi admired Twenty-two Niang even more, and the long-term offering of the sign was located at home until he was old.
