"Huh? What to lose? A cold sweat broke out on Liu Yong's head. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I'll punish you for telling us a story." Little Joe burst into tears and laughed.

"Okay!" Liu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes rolled wildly, and he said, "However, I can't talk about "The Legend of Emperor Guangwu". ”

"Got it, it won't embarrass you." Xiao Qiao Yanran smiled, thought for a while, and said, "Sister Yun said that the story on "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is very interesting, so you can tell one." ”

"Good! Good! Liu Yong was relieved and smiled, "Let me think about it." Well, I'll talk about "Rouge". ”

"Rouge? Is it which rouge we women usually use? Little Joe said again.

"It's not. It's a girl's name......" Liu explained.

"This name is ......" Xiao Qiao was about to ask again, and Da Qiao said with a slight annoyance: "Qian'er, don't ask, just let Brother Liu talk with peace of mind." As he spoke, he took a cup of tea and brought it to Liu Yong, "Brother Liu, you drink some tea first." ”

Liu Yong thanked him, hurriedly took it, looked at Da Qiao and smiled slightly, then took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and spoke slowly.

"Rouge" is a famous article in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai". The young scholar Eqiu Falcon went to visit a friend, and because he didn't know the way, he went to ask for directions, and accidentally met the girl Rouge. In just a few words of communication, Rouge fell in love with the young, handsome, well-read and courteous Autumn Falcon. But at that time, it was all the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, although Rouge had this thought, he couldn't take the initiative to tell the Autumn Falcon. Coincidentally, the neighbor Wang happened to see this scene, and Wang was a warm-hearted person, so he told Rouge that he would go to be a matchmaker for her.

Who knew that Wang was a person who couldn't hide his words, so he didn't explain it to Eqiu Falcon, but told his good friend Susuke first. Susuke coveted Rouge's beauty early on, so he made up his mind, and while Wang was asleep, he pretended to be an Oqiu Falcon and sneaked into Rouge's house over the wall, intending to be rude. But although Rouge is in love with Eqiu Falcon, he is only willing to marry the media, and he is unwilling to commit to it, so he refuses to do so. Susuke was helpless, so he took advantage of Rouge's unpreparedness to snatch an embroidered shoe from her foot and returned. Su Jie returned to Wang's house in a hurry, but he didn't pay attention to the loss of his embroidered shoes in the courtyard. Seeing that Susuke's clothes were messy, Wang looked panicked and questioned Susuke, who had to tell the story of sneaking into the rouge room. Unexpectedly, things changed again, and the scoundrel Mao Da, who had beaten Wang's idea before, also sneaked under Wang's windowsill this night, not only picked up Rouge's embroidered shoes, but also overheard Susuke talking to Wang.

A few days later, Mao Da sneaked into Rouge's house and wanted to do something wrong, but unexpectedly accidentally entered Rouge's father's room. Mao Da killed Rouge's father during the escape, and the embroidered shoe fell on the scene again. When Rouge saw his embroidered shoes, he thought that his father had been killed by the Autumn Falcon, so he reported it to the government. The county official sent someone to arrest and torture the Autumn Falcon, but the poor Autumn Falcon, who was shy by nature and weak in body, how could he withstand such torture, and he was beaten into a trick. The case was later sent to the state government for review, and the government official Wu Nandai saw that Eqiu Falcon looked like a weak scholar, and felt that he did not look like a murderer, so he retried the case, interrogated Rouge and Wang successively, and found out the so-called "real murderer" Susuke, and acquitted Eqiu Falcon. Su Jie was unbearable, and when he heard that Shi Yushan was impartial and very good at judging cases, he wrote a letter to redress his grievances. Sure enough, Shi Yushan investigated the case file in detail and concluded that Susuke was wronged, and after many inspections, he finally caught the real murderer Mao Da and returned Susuke to innocence.

Shi Gong decided that the murderer must be among the few people who had something to do with the Wang family, and finally caught Mao Da. But without evidence, do you know how to make him confess? Liu Yong asked with a smile.

"I don't know!" The women shook their heads in unison.

"Shi Gong has set up a clever plan...... Liu Yong said with a smile. It turned out that after Shi Ruoyu arrested Mao Da and several other suspects, he said to them: "I dreamed that a fairy told me that the murderer was among you. Since you will not confess yourself, let the demons and gods point out who the murderer is. Then he took them outside the temple. Cover the windows of the main hall with felt mattresses first, leaving no gaps; The suspects were then stripped of their shirts and let them go bareback into the dark temple. The catchers gave each man a basin of water, told them to wash their hands, and then tied them under the wall with a rope, and warned: "Face the wall, don't move." It was a murderer, and for a moment there was a spirit of his own writing on his back. After a while, Shi Ruo called them out, observed and tested them one by one, and finally pointed at Mao Da and said, "You are the real murderer!" It turned out that Shi Gong first had the walls painted with white plaster, and then charcoal water to make them wash their hands. Mao Da was afraid that there would be a god writing on his back, so he secretly pressed his back against the wall, so that his back was stained with white ash; When he walked out of the dark hall, he used his hands to protect his back, so his back was stained with black charcoal ash. Shi Gong originally suspected that it was Mao Da, but now it is even more certain, and if he uses a heavy punishment against Mao Da, he will confess 1510.

"It's wonderful." Da Qiao praised, "I just don't know how Rouge ended?" ”

"In the end, Shi Gong acted as a matchmaker, and Eqiu Falcon married Rouge, and the husband and wife were in love."

This story has ups and downs, a case within a case, coupled with Liu Yong's temperament and tone of the characters are very well controlled, everyone listened with interest, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes amazed, and when they heard that there was finally a lover who finally became a dependent, they couldn't help but smile.

"It's really good. Rouge is really happy. Da Qiao sighed faintly, "It's just ......"

Marriage autonomy is the wish of every boy and girl, but unfortunately it cannot be changed by his own strength, Liu Yong had to sigh secretly, but listened to Da Qiao said: "I heard Yun'er say, Brother Liu's hometown is that men and women can choose their own mates?" ”

Liu Yong said: "That's true. We talk about equality between men and women, and women can not only study, but also become officials. In addition, the freedom of marriage allows a man to pursue the woman he loves, and a woman can pursue the man he likes, and parents are not allowed to interfere and arrange it. ”

The women didn't believe it when they heard Dong Yun talk about it before, but now they hear it from Liu Yong's mouth again, but they are different, they only feel that the women there are really happy.

"Alright. Don't be sad. Xiao Qiao was so young that he asked, "Brother Liu, will you tell us a story like this every day in the future?" ”

Liu Yong was startled and hesitated: "Second Miss, you see, it's not convenient for me to enter the inner courtyard. ”

"What then? We want to hear you talk about "Emperor Guangwu", but you don't talk about it. ”

"It's better to ......," Liu Yong thought for a while and said, "I think it can be like this." Isn't there a corridor around the place where I am talking about the book? We just need to surround both ends, and then hang a bamboo curtain in front of them, so that the ladies can sit inside, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, isn't that okay? It would be even better if Qiao Gong could be invited again. ”

"It's a good idea, I think it works." Little Joe laughed.

Da Qiao thought about it and smiled: "I'll see it." ”

"Then I'll go and invite Qiao Gong tomorrow." Liu Yong said goodbye with a smile.

"You also have to tell us the story in "Liao Zhai"." Xiao Qiao said again.

"Let's talk about it." Liu Yong waved his hand and walked out hurriedly. Why should I talk about fasting, here are used to promote the liberation of personality and the freedom of marriage, and oppose unreasonable feudal etiquette, so most women like it very much, but these are not very good for Qiao Gong to listen to. Alas, what do I think, I inflict it on myself.

Qiao Xuan saw that Liu Yong's relatives had no contact with outsiders, and he loved his two daughters very much, so he nodded and agreed, but asked Liu Yong about it. It turned out that Qiao Xuan and Liu Yong had chatted several times and praised Liu Yong's experience and insight. Although he was full of poetry and books, he also sighed to himself, and wanted to ask Liu Yong to tell his daughter about the customs and etiquette of various places, anecdotes, and anecdotes, which was also a gesture of loving children, but he didn't expect Liu Yong to find a way to enter the inner courtyard.

In this way, Liu Yong first talked about Emperor Guangwu outside every day, and then went to the courtyard to talk about fasting. Although people are a little tired, but seeing so many beautiful girls looking at him with adoring eyes, Liu Yong's heart is also beautiful.

"I'll tell you about "Painted Skin" today." Liu Yong's heart came up with evil thoughts.

"Painted Skin? This name is so strange, is it also a story on "Strange Tales"? Little Joe asked.

"yes."

"That should sound good, too." The women did not doubt him. In the stories of chatting in the past few days, whether it is a ghost or a flower demon or a fox spirit, they are all good-looking, kind-hearted, and perfect endings. ”

"Of course it sounds good." Liu Yong smiled secretly in his heart.

"Once upon a time, there was a scholar surnamed Wang ......" In fact, the original text of "Painted Skin" was not scary, but it was made into a horror film when it was filmed by Hong Kong Phoenix Film Company in 1965. Liu Yong was extremely impressed by this film, it was the first horror film introduced from the mainland, and it is said that it scared people to death because the plot was too terrifying, and I don't know if it was true or not. But in any case, the level of horror of this film is absolutely unprecedented. I remember that he was in elementary school at the time, and he was not very bold, and many scary scenes were seen through his fingers, but the picture and music were enough to make his heart beat and creepy, and he had nightmares for a whole week.

"Big brother, don't talk about it, you see they're all frightened." Dong Yun said angrily.

Liu Yong took a look, and sure enough, several maid rings were all far away from the door, huddled together. Da Qiao pulled Dong Yun's clothes tightly, and everyone looked at Liu Yong pitifully, not even daring to breathe.

This story is indeed terrifying, especially the two parts where Wang Sheng peeked in the crack of the window and saw the ghost painting the human skin and rushed into the room to dig out Wang Sheng's heart. And at this time, it was late at night, and the candlelight in the house flickered, flickering and dimming, which was even more terrifying. Liu Yong himself felt a chill in the back of his neck when he talked about it, not to mention these girls, he felt that he was too much.

"It's me who is not good, I'll talk about another one."

"Don't. And then? Has the king ever lived? Has the ghost been subdued? Xiao Qiao was not afraid, and asked with a smile while pulling Dong Yun.

"Qian'er, don't talk about this, right? We were all scared. Da Qiao's face turned pale.

"You're too cowardly. Well, I'll ask myself later. ”

"Brother Liu, can you stop telling this kind of story in the future?" Big Joe said pitifully.

"Definitely. Well, I'm going to take it lightly and tell a few jokes. Liu Yong was ashamed for a while, and hurriedly comforted.

A few jokes finally calmed down the mood of these women, Liu Yong just put his mind at ease, but heard Da Qiao laugh and said: "Brother Liu only tells a few jokes and should be a companion." ”

Liu Yong hurriedly said: "What else does the eldest lady have to say, as long as Liu Yong can do it, she will never shirk it." ”

Da Qiao covered his lips and smiled: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's write it down first." ”

Liu Yong only felt that his head was big, and he hurriedly said goodbye, and as soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he heard Xiao Qiao shouting: "Brother Liu! ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Yong looked back.

"Big brother, why is there a woman standing under the tree next to you, with a thin stature, long hair, and a tongue sticking out of her mouth......"

Liu Yong's scalp suddenly became numb, his feet were weak, and he almost fell.
