Bai Qiulian (Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio)

Mu Sheng is the son of Mu Xiaohuan, a merchant in Zhili, nicknamed "Moon". He is clever and eager to learn. Father felt that reading was useless, so at the age of sixteen, he was asked to go to Chu Guoxue to do business with himself. On the way, as long as there is nothing on board, he will recite poems. After arriving in Wuchang, his father left him to guard the goods hoarded in the hotel. Musheng took advantage of his father's going out, holding books and reciting poems, and his syllables were sonorous. He always sees a shaking figure on the window, as if someone is eavesdropping, but he doesn't care.

One night, my father went out for dinner and came back very late. Musheng recited more carefully. Someone is wandering outside the window, and the moon shines clearly. Isn't Big Pillar Musheng dead? Just graduated from primary school, because Dazhu didn't want to study any more, he had a quarrel with his parents. He ran to the pond and slipped and drowned himself. I was surprised and immediately went out to check. It turned out to be a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen. As soon as she saw Musheng, she hurried away. After two or three days, the goods were shipped back to the north and stopped at the lake at night. Just after my father went out, an old lady came in and said, "Son, you will kill my daughter!" " "Musheng surprised to ask her where this sentence came from. She replied, "My surname is Bai, and I have a daughter named Qiu Lian who loves to write poetry. She said that when she was in the county, she heard you chanting, and when she came back, she became lovesick and forgot to eat and sleep. Qiulian wants to marry you, don't refuse. "Mu Sheng really liked the woman he saw that night, but he was worried that his father would blame him and told the truth to the old lady. The old lady didn't believe it and stuck to his promise. Musheng dare not make decisions. The old lady said angrily, "only the man asked for a bride price, but he didn't succeed." Is there anything more shameful than being an old woman's matchmaker and not being accepted? I'm afraid it's hard for you two. Not Xiaoqiu, but another girl. I asked her why she texted me. The girl cried, crying very sadly. Go back! " Say that finish and left. After a while, my father came back. Mu Sheng told the truth and hoped his father would agree. But my father felt that the two families were too far apart and looked down on the girl in love, so he laughed it off.

The dock was originally deep enough to drown the oars, but at night, the sand and stones suddenly surged and the ship ran aground. The passenger ship in the lake watches the ship every year. When the spring water rose the next year, the other goods had not arrived, and the things on board would definitely make a fortune, so the old man was not very worried. He figured that he would have to spend money to come to the south next year, so he left his son to watch the boat and went home alone. Mu Sheng was secretly happy, but regretted not asking the old lady's address. When it got dark, the old lady came with the girl and said to Mu Sheng, "People are so sick, and you still pretend nothing happened!" " Take off your clothes and let her lie on Musheng's bed and leave. Musheng was pleasantly surprised. When he approached the light, he saw that the girl was ill and had a pair of charming eyes. Musheng greeted me kindly, and she just smiled. Mu Sheng begged her for a word, and she said, "It is my respect to be haggard and ashamed of Lang." Mu Sheng was ecstatic, wanted to get close to her, but worried about her weakness, so he put his hand into her arms and kissed her chin. The girl jokingly said, "If you recite Wang Jian's poem" Luo Ye Yi Ye "for me three times, you will be fine." Musheng did as she said, only twice. The girl sat up with her clothes and said, "I'm fine!" " "MuSheng read it again, the girl is still so delicate. Musheng was in a trance, so he turned off the light and slept with her. The girl got up before dawn and said, "Here comes the old mother. Soon, the old lady did come. "。 Seeing her daughter dressed neatly and in high spirits, she was very happy and told her to go back. The girl just bowed her head and said nothing. The old lady said, "If you want to play with your son, go ahead. "After the old lady left, Mu Sheng left a relatively remote place in the village and got a home. After the son got married, the daughter-in-law and in-laws disagreed and finally separated. In this way, the remote place became two small families. Find out the girl's address. The girl said, "I just met you by chance and may not have married you." Why should I let you know where my home is? "So they fell in love and swore.

One night, the girl got up early, lit the lamp, opened the book and burst into tears. Mu Sheng got up and asked her. She said, "Your father is here. I just use a book to speculate on our relationship. When I opened it, it was Li Yi's "Jiangnan Qu", which was very unlucky. " Mu Sheng comforted her and said, "The first sentence' Since I married a Qutang businessman' has been a good omen. How can it be unlucky! " The girl was just slightly happy and stood up to say goodbye: "Please leave for a while. You will gossip if you are found at dawn." Mu Sheng held her hand tightly and sobbed, "If the marriage is successful, where can I tell you?" The girl said, "I will know if it is successful or not." Musheng wanted to get off the boat to see her off, but she refused to leave. Soon longed for the old man indeed as expected, Musheng slowly revealed the truth, and his father suspected that he had attracted * * *, and he was so angry that he cursed. Look carefully at the ship's belongings and see if there is any shortage, and then stop scolding. One night, the old man was not on the boat, and the girl suddenly came. Musheng is reluctant to go, but he can't find a way. The girl said: "Good or bad luck has its own destiny, just for the present. Let's discuss what to do after two months. " When leaving, we should meet each other by chanting as a signal. From then on, whenever my father went out, Musheng would chant aloud and the girl would come to a tryst. April is about to pass, but the spring water has not yet been released. When the price is missed, the wind is very strong, blowing on the body, cool, like a cold paw on the face, with a little moisture. Machine, businessmen can't, raise money to the lake temple to pray. After Duanyang Festival, it rained cats and dogs, and ships sailed.

Musheng came home, but the girl still shook her head. Acacia becomes a disease. Mu was very worried, so he invited a wizard and a doctor. Musheng quietly told his mother: "My illness can't be cured by taking medicine and praying, but only by practicing in autumn." Mourinho was angry at first and ignored it. Over time, Musheng became more and more tired and thin. The old man was afraid, so he sent his son to Chu and stayed in the old place. Ask the people who live here, I don't know there is an old lady named Bai. There happened to be an old lady boating by the lake and came forward to say that the old lady Bai was her. I am eager for the old man to board the White House boat and have a look at Qiulian. My heart was hooked up, but asking about her family background was just a small family drifting on the water. The old man longed for the truth about the cause of his son's illness, and hoped that Qiulian would come to his boat to temporarily relieve the strange disease that could not be cured during the wood growth period. Mrs. Bai refused to agree on the pretext that she didn't have an appointment. Qiu Lian showed half a face and listened with concern. After listening to the words of the two, tears are almost falling. Seeing her poor daughter, Mrs. Bai longed for the old man's plea and agreed to him. In the evening, when the old man longed for him to go out, Qiu Xun really came. He leaned against the bed and cried, "I was like this last year, but now you are like this." I can't help letting you know this taste, but how good is it that you are so ill? " Mu Sheng said happily, "Please sing a poem for me, too." Qiu Lian recited poems written by Wang Jian before. Musheng said, "This is your heart. How can one medicine effectively cure two people? But when I hear your voice, I feel refreshed. Please try to sing a song' A Thousand Lius Going West' for me. " Qiulian listens and sings for him. Mu Sheng praised, "Hi! Between the lines you have read in the past, there is a poem "Picking Lotus Seeds" that says "the lotus fragrance is even ten hectares". I haven't forgotten. Please recite it aloud. " Qiulian did it again. After meditation, Musheng jumped up and said, "What's wrong with me?" The two embraced each other and were intimate. Mu Sheng asked, "What did father say when he saw your mother? Can things be done? " Qiulian sensed the old man's desire and directly replied, "It's not smooth." It's terrible: please keep it! )

I'll leave later in autumn practice. When my father came back, he was very happy to see Musheng get up. He just comforted and encouraged him, saying, "It's good to be a girl, but I've been sailing since I was a child, what's more, I'm from a humble background, and maybe I'm not chaste." Musheng doesn't talk. Mu Lao went out, and Qiu Lian came again. Mu Sheng told his father what he meant, and Qiu Lian said, "I observed it very clearly. Things in the world, haste makes waste, you should let him change himself and beg me in turn. " Musheng asked her for advice, and Qiu Lian said, "All businessmen aim at making money. I have a Du Binquan with a lump in her throat to predict the loss. I just saw what was on your boat. I will only pay, but I won't earn. Tell your father for me: hoarding can make three times the profit, and hoarding can make ten times the profit. You sell things home, and if my words are verified, then I am a good daughter-in-law he can't wait. Next time you come, you will be eighteen and I will be seventeen. The days of love are long. What are you worried about? " Musheng told her father what Qiulian said was a loss. My father didn't believe it, so he tried with the remaining half of the money as she said. After returning home, the goods I bought were expensive; Fortunately, I listened to Qiu Lian and made a lot of money, which made a little balance. Since then, I have been longing for this night, and no one has slept well. Everyone heard the strange knocking on the bed. The old man is convinced of the magic of autumn practice, and Musheng exaggerates, saying that autumn practice can make the dark corner suddenly light up, and a group of green fluorescence floats across the tibia, and a string of words is in it for ten days. Make your own fortune. Longing for more capital, the old man went south to the lake, but he didn't see Mrs. Bai for a few days. A few days later, I saw Mrs. Bai dock her boat under the willow tree and give her a bride price. Mrs. Bai did not accept it, but chose auspicious day to send her daughter to cross the boat. I really can't accept the fact that the old man is eager for another lease. It is clear that a few days ago, we were still looking forward to a better life after marriage. Now, everything is ruined. A boat, married for my son.

Bai Qiulian asked the old man to go to the south again, and all the goods he should buy were listed in a list and handed over to him. Mrs. Bai invited her son-in-law away and settled in the boat. Three months later, the old man Mu came back and came to the State of Chu. Commodity prices have increased fivefold. Musheng's father and son are going back to the north with Qiulian, who asks to carry the lake. After returning home, Miao Hao smiled mysteriously and opened his mouth every time he ate, trying to continue to say something. Turning her head, she saw that the black liquid in the carton was boiling. He quickly shut up and couldn't wait to walk into the carton, sitting cross-legged in the boiling black liquid. Be sure to add some lake water, just like vinegar. From then on, every time the father and son went south, they would bring a few cans of lake water back for autumn practice. Three or four years later, Qiulian gave birth to a son.

One day, Qiulian cried and wanted to go back to her family. Mu took his son and daughter-in-law to Chu. When I got to the lake, I didn't know where Mrs. White was. Qiu Lian knocked on the ship's rail and cried out to her mother, out of her wits. Musheng also inquired by the lake, and it happened that a sturgeon and bighead fisherman caught a white crucian carp. Take a closer look, what a big body, just like people, with a chest and a yin. Mu Sheng is strange. Come back and tell Qiu Lian. Qiu Lian was surprised and scared, saying that she had always wanted to release the crucian carp, and asked Musheng to redeem it and release it. Mu went to discuss with the fisherman before his death, but he didn't buy it because the asking price was too high. Qiu Lian said angrily, "I earn tens of thousands of dollars in your home." Why can't I afford such a little money? " If you don't agree, I will die in the lake! "Musheng didn't dare to tell his father that he stole money to redeem the white crucian carp and let it go. I didn't see Qiu Lian when I came back, and I couldn't find it. I didn't come back until dawn and autumn practice. Mu Sheng asked her, "Where have you been?" She replied, "I just arrived at my mother's house." Mu Sheng asked again, "Where is Mom?" Qiulian said shyly, "Now I must tell you the truth. You just redeemed my mother. When she arrived at Dongting Lake, the Dragon King put her in charge of the trip. Recently, I wanted to choose a concubine in the palace, and I was praised by people who have a glib tongue. The Dragon King wrote a letter to my mother, asking her to give me to her. My mother plays the dragon king truthfully. The dragon king was furious and exiled his mother to Nanbin. She was so hungry that she met this disaster. Although the disaster has passed now, the punishment has not been lifted. If you still love me, please pray for the true gentleman for me to spare my mother from punishment. If you hate that I am not human, I will give you my son and leave by myself. The sacrifice of the Dragon Palace will be a hundred times stronger than your family. " Musheng was surprised and worried that he would not see the true gentleman. Qiulian said, "The true gentleman will come at the end of tomorrow. Seeing the lame Taoist priest, he quickly bowed down and followed him into the water. A true gentleman loves the scribes and will pity them. " He took out another piece of shredded fish belly and said, "What do you want, just take this piece of silk out and let him write the word' free'. "

Musheng waited there as Qiulian said. Sure enough, a Taoist came limping and Musheng bowed down to him. Taoist, let's go. Musheng is in the back. The Taoist threw the crutch into the water and jumped on it. Mu Sheng jumped up after him, but it was not a crutch, but a boat. Musheng bowed down again, and the Taoist asked, "What do you want?" Musheng took out his silk and asked him to write. The Taoist priest opened it and said, "This is the wing of a white crucian carp. How do you know her? " Musheng dared not hide it and stated it in detail. The Taoist priest smiled and said, "How could Lao Long be dissolute to her!" He took out a pen and scribbled the word "exemption", which looked like a symbol of painting. He put the boat back and let Musheng live. Sister: Don't think too much. Let those things go. Seeing the Taoist priest floating away on crutches, the night fell slowly in an instant, and Xiaolan's car was so full of Chen Guren hiding in * * * that it slipped towards the growing night. Xiaolan conveniently turned on the headlights of the car, and mosquitoes and moths rushed over. Qiu Lian was very happy when Musheng disappeared back to the boat, but told Musheng not to tell his parents.

After returning home for two or three years, the old man was eager to do business in the south and didn't come back for several months. The lake has been used up, so we can't wait any longer. Qiulian fell ill, breathing day and night and dying. He told Musheng: "If my death shocked the whole town, people would take it out after dinner and think that this man was old and useless, and his head was broken. It's sad to think about it! Go ahead, don't bury it. It is necessary to recite the poem "Li Bai's Dream" by Du Fu at three o'clock, noon and unitary time, so that the body will not rot. When the lake came, I poured it into the basin, closed the door, loosened my clothes, held it in the basin, and soon lived. " Then I died with my eyes closed. After half a month, the old man Mu came back, and Mu Sheng was busy doing what she taught him, soaking for an hour or so, and gradually waking up in autumn practice. Since then, she often wants to go back to the south. Later, Mu Lao died, Mu Sheng obeyed her wishes, and the whole family moved to Chu.
