Chapter 43: The Reunion of Man and Ghost

The sky was getting darker, the full moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight shone through the clouds on the earth, and everything in the surroundings was dim in brightness.

The Xie family's house is located in the southwest of Husu City, not far from the Cong'an Temple where Xie Qiao had been during the day, but it is a more secluded place than the Cong'an Temple. Many years ago, Xie Qiao came to live in Husu County with his new wife Liu Qian because of his devotion to Cui Shen.

In this house, Xie Qiao and Liu Qian have lived together for a year, but they have spent many happy times together. The husband and wife are quite talented, men are good at painting, women are good at poetry, they are accompanied by each other to chant poetry and paint, accompanied by many passions of men and women, which can be said to be the envy of the gods. It's just that everything is in the past, and at this moment, Xie Qiao is sitting in front of the window of the study in a daze, looking up at the full moon outside the window, with only the green light as a companion by his side.

The voice of the old servant came from outside the study: "Ah Lang, the hour is not early, let's rest early!" ”

"I know, after you are busy for me today, I have suffered a lot of tiredness, so let's go and rest first!" Xie Qiao responded lightly.

The old servant let out a soft sigh, and then there was no sound.

The night was as cold as water, time passed quietly, Xie Qiao still couldn't sleep, he looked at the full moon outside the window, his eyes revealed sorrow, and some expectation.

"Xie Ziping!" Suddenly, someone outside the window gently knocked on the window and called his name, Xie Qiao was shocked to realize that he could see the person clearly by the bright moonlight outside the window.

"Mrs. Zhou?"

"May I come in?" The woman in red stood outside the window, smiling.

"Please come in! Oh, I'll open the door for you! Xie Qiao hurriedly got up.

"No, I can come in myself and say hello to you outside the window, for fear that the reckless will scare you." As he spoke, the woman in red had disappeared, and Xie Qiao only felt a gust of breeze blowing on his face, accompanied by a wisp of refreshing fragrance, and then a familiar and delicate voice came from behind him: "I've come in." ”

Xie Qiao turned around, relying on the dim light of the oil lamp, only to see the beautiful woman in red appear in front of him again. There was excitement in his eyes, but he didn't dare to take a step forward, not because he was afraid that the other party was a fox, but because he suddenly thought that this was a lonely man and a widow living in the same room, so in the end he stood in place and bowed: "Zhou Niangzi, today's matter, Xie is really grateful!" ”

"I'll take this thank you first! But at your behalf, I've done something else. Zhou Hongxian smiled lightly, then turned his head to the back and said, "Qianniang, you are here, just show up!" ”

After hearing this, Xie Qiao's eyes suddenly darkened with anticipation, and he asked to the sky: "Qianniang, why don't you come out to see me?" ”

No one answered for a long time, Xie Qiao couldn't help but look at Zhou Hongxian with a puzzled face, Zhou Hongxian sighed lightly and said, "Don't be like this, Qianniang!" It was your husband who took the initiative to ask me to see you, and you agreed, and it is not easy for both of you, so show up and meet him! ”

"Fox lady, I am very grateful for your kindness, what can be seen, what if you don't see it, after all, it is a different way for people and ghosts!" Suddenly, there was a cool tone in the air, unusually poignant.

When Xie Qiao heard this, his eyes immediately widened: "Qianniang, since you are really here, why can't you bear not to see me?" ”

There was a long silence again.

Zhou Hong saw that the scene was embarrassed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Qianniang, I know that you refuse to show up, and you have other thoughts in your heart." But I think it's thinking too much, and many things are actually not important anymore compared to having lovers reunited! It's embarrassing for me to stand here to make a light bulb, tonight is the full moon again, it's a good time to worship the moon, I'll go to the roof to practice first, you stay here and think about it, if you really can't bear to miss the opportunity to meet your husband, then come directly to the roof to find me, I'll take you away! After speaking, Zhou Hongxian winked at Xie Qiao, turned around and disappeared.

Xie Qiao turned his head as if watching Qingfeng leave, then looked back at the empty room, and his tone became abrupt: "Qianniang, are you really not going to meet me?" ”

"Heyβ€”" With a cool sigh, a vague human figure gradually condensed in the air in front of Xie Qiao, and the flames of the oil lamp began to turn slightly green. After a while, the human form gradually became clear, and finally turned into a physical female silhouette, dressed in white and with black hair, and a graceful body.

Xie Qiao's lips trembled slightly, at this moment, if he said that he was not afraid at all, it would be pure nonsense, but he was more excited in his heart.

"Qianniang!"

"Don't come here!" rejected Xie Qiao's move to step forward in a cool tone, and Qianniang covered her face with her sleeves and refused to show her face.

Xie Qiao had tears in his eyes: "Why is this so? ”

Qianniang's tone was faint: "I'm already a ghost, and my face is bleak, I'm afraid it will scare you." Over the years, I have been held hostage by the old ghost of Songpo, and I have long been committed to him, and I have no shame to see you! ”

When Xie Qiao heard this, his face was shocked, and gradually, his eyes were full of pain, and his tone was full of self-blame: "Qianniang, you are a human being or a ghost, you are all my wife, and the responsibility for everything you suffer lies with me, it is my incompetence that failed to protect you!" I just ask for your forgiveness, drop your sleeves and let me take a look, okay? Speaking of the depths, Xie Qiao also burst into tears.

The choked sound gradually sounded from Qianniang's mouth, listening to the cold, but sad and moving, the sleeves fell, and a miserable white and beautiful face looked at Xie Qiao with tears.

"Qianniang!"

"Xie Lang!"

Qianniang finally let go of her reserve, hugged her lover and hugged her, hugged her head and cried. The couple has been separated for six years, before parting is a pair of beautiful people that everyone envies, but after the reunion, they are already different paths, which is full of how many bitter tears, and how much lovesickness is shared, the details of which can no longer be understood by outsiders!

The two complained to each other, until the oil lamps were about to burn out, and finally showed a smile after the reunion.

Qianniang's pale face was flushed, and her voice trembled slightly: "Xie Lang, aren't you really afraid of me?" ”

Xie Qiao looked at her affectionately, and said with a gentle smile: "You and I are husband and wife, why be afraid?" ”

After that, the two forgot to hug each other and rolled directly onto the bed, as the so-called: what does it matter if people and ghosts have different paths, the vicissitudes of love and happiness between the two lovers. Since ancient times, there have been many idiot children, and it is not too long to be away from the Spring Festival for a long time!

Under the full moon, Zhou Hong was sitting on the roof and breathing at the moon for a long time, when a cloud happened to cover the moon in the sky, so she had to suspend her practice and stretch slightly.

"It's been an hour or two, and Qianniang hasn't come out to find it, so she should be reunited with her husband. Well, I'm going to see how they're doing! Zhou Hong wanted to jump off the roof, but her ears involuntarily twitched twice, and in this silence, a subtle voice broke into her ears uninvited.

"Holy!" Zhou Hongxian's beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn't help but want to peel off the tiles on the roof and peek down, but reason prevented her crime, and after listening silently for a while, she covered her mouth and smiled: "It's really a waste of worrying about me!" Or is it right that the great god on the Internet said that there is no gap between men and women who love each other that XX can't solve! ”

But this voice was too abrasive, and soon Zhou Hongxian was a little restless, she held her heart with one hand, supported her cheek with the other, and looked up to the sky with a depressed expression and sighed: "Torture me to death!" Hmph, when will the goddess of my life appear? ”
