Chapter 515: One Poem, Two Stories

[800โ™‚ small รท said โ†’.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

At the beginning of the page is a poem.

In the mirror of self-love and residual makeup, the ring hairpin is full of green silk.

The sun shines on the cheeks, and a red flower is about to melt.

Lu Nan felt that his literary cultivation was not high, so he only took a general look at this poem, focusing on the sentence with the word rouge.

He guessed that this might be the origin of Rouge's name, or else he wouldn't have put such a poem on the first page.

Below this poem, two short stories follow.

The first story is that there was a young couple in the town, whose wife's name was Rouge, and it was in the midst of a time of war and chaos.

That year, the husband was conscripted, and before leaving, the husband and his wife agreed that they would return to meet his wife in a year.

The two set the day of their reunion for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the husband told his wife that if he couldn't come back by then, he would definitely have died on the battlefield.

The wife said that if her husband could not return, then she would commit suicide on that day.

So, her husband went to the battlefield, and Rouge waited at home every day, waiting for her husband's return at the head of the village.

One day, a Taoist priest gave Rouge a flute and told her that if her husband did not return during the Mid-Autumn Festival, then after she played the flute, her husband would definitely come back.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Rouge waited until late at night and did not wait for her husband to come back.

Rouge was heartbroken and burst into tears, holding the flute that the Taoist chief had given her, and as if grasping the last straw, she blew the flute.

When Rouge finished playing a song, she was delighted to find that her husband had really come back.

Rouge was ecstatic and spent time with her husband again, but the good times didn't last long, and suddenly one day her husband suddenly disappeared.

A few days after her husband's disappearance, Rouge received the news of her husband's death in battle.

It turned out that the husband had died in battle within a few days of going to the battlefield, and it was the husband's soul that was summoned by the rouge flute.

When Lu Nan saw this, he was a little puzzled, and felt that if this was just a romance story, it would make sense.

If you look into the contents, then the story will not stand up to scrutiny.

Let's say, this appointment will go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival after a year.

This is very suspicious, to be a soldier to fight, and it is still an era of war and chaos, who knows when he will be able to go home.

even made an appointment that if her husband couldn't come back, she would commit suicide with all her martyrdom.

If you look at it from the detective's path, it is obvious that the husband intends to murder his wife.

Skipping this little story, Lu Nan continued to read the next story.

Hey!

It's strange that in the second story, the content of the previous story is similar to the first, except that the place where the husband came back has changed.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the wife did not wait for her husband to come back, so she hanged herself on the beam.

The husband did not die, but was seriously injured, and he did not come back in a hurry during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and by the time the husband arrived home, the wife had already committed suicide.

The husband was so sad that he blamed himself and wanted to look at his wife again, so he opened the coffin.

After opening the coffin, the husband found his wife's body unscathed and lifelike, with a verdant bamboo flute next to the body.

So, the husband took his wife's body home, took care of it every day, and played the flute beside his wife when he was free.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival of the following year, the husband looked up at the bright moon in the sky and played the flute again beside his wife, waiting until the song was finished.

The wife woke up miraculously, as if she had never died, but just slept quietly.

From then on, the husband and wife lived happily ever after.

The same story, different solutions, the turning point is whether the husband died or not.

If the first story is a tragedy, the second is a comedy that everyone is happy with.

Lu Nan revisited these two stories again.

The first story is not explained at the end, and it is doubtful whether the wife was martyred in the end.

The second story is even more bizarre, although it does not say whether the wife is buried or not, but it is said that the husband took his wife home after opening the coffin.

From this, it can be seen that the wife should have been buried.

The ancients believed that if a person dies in the ground, how can a husband dig the grave and open the coffin of his wife who has been buried in the earth.

Lu Nan felt that this story didn't make sense.

And that's not even the most bizarre, the most bizarre thing is that the husband guards his wife's body for a whole year, and then the wife comes back to life.

If you look at these two stories as ghost romances, it's just a matter of laughing off, but looking at the content of this book, it seems to be a book that records the past of Rouge Town, similar to the county chronicle.

These two stories are recorded on it, obviously not a ghost romance, maybe it is a real story in the history of Rouge Town.

Lu Nan turned a page and continued to look down.

This page is a picture, and you can also expand this page to see it, not only to the right, but also to the top, and when fully expanded, it is a large map of four pages.

"This is the map of Rouge Town!"

After Lu Nan looked closely, he found that this was the map of Rouge Town, and the surrounding terrain had changed a lot, and it was completely different from the current terrain.

The only key point that allowed Lu Nan to confirm that this was Rouge Town was the bridge in the middle of the map, the wooden bridge with an attic.

Keep flipping, it's still a picture.

This is a map of the distribution of buildings in Rouge Town, and the map highlights the three bluestone streets, from the map, Lu Nan thoroughly confirmed that the three bluestone streets constitute the three talents of heaven, earth and man.

After these two pictures, when Lu Nan flipped through them again, he found that there was no content.

He turned the pages one by one, and the rest of the pages were all blank, and when he turned to the last page, Lu Nan found that there was a crisp flute on it, which was lifelike.

"Lu Nan, it's time to eat."

Just when he wanted to take a closer look at this flute, Yan Yingying's call came from outside.

"Oh, here we are." Lu Nan hurriedly put down the book in his hand and walked towards the front hall.

"It smells so good." As soon as Lu Nan walked into the front hall, he smelled a fascination. The fragrance of people, he was already a little hungry, but after smelling the fragrance of this meal, he couldn't help it even more.

If this was in his own home, Lu Nan would have pounced on it and gobbled it up, but this was a guest at someone's house, and Lu Nan still had to be polite.

"Grandma is out, let us eat first." After Yan Yingying laid out all the meals, she said to Lu Nan.

"Ah, what did Grandma do?" Lu Nan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Shall we eat first?" โ€

"It's okay, let's eat, I'm not doing very well, you can just eat." When Yan Yingying spoke, her eyes narrowed slightly, and two small whirlpool-like dimples appeared on her face, which was very charming.
