"White jade comb?" I looked at the old comb in disbelief, how was it not white at all? Is it really made of jade?

The man saw my doubts, and carefully picked up the old comb, and rubbed it gently with his hand: "This comb is made of real white jade, and at that time, it was as white as snow and crystal clear, and it was her favorite comb!" ”

She? Who is it? I looked at the comb again, and waited for the man to continue.

Who knows, after a while, the man was still gently stroking the white jade comb, his eyes kept looking at the comb, his face showed a happy and attached look, and his thoughts seemed to be immersed in some kind of sweet memory.

"Ahem, ahem. Uncle Chen, aren't you going to tell me the story about this white jade comb? ”

"Oh, oh. Yes! The man looked a little embarrassed, and quickly laughed self-deprecatingly, and began to tell: "This story happened in a long time ago, well, it's the Han Dynasty!" In this Gusu city, there is a big family surnamed Wang, and their family has a daughter, who is smart and beautiful, and has a good reputation. Miss Wang's grandfather was a high-ranking official, and her father and brother were also officials in the court, so after she was fifteen years old, there was an endless stream of people who came to her to ask for marriage. Because her father and brother were too busy with official business to go home, her family affairs were postponed again and again and never settled.

On the street next to her house lived a scholar surnamed Chen, who had been promoted to filial piety, but his family was too poor to go to the capital to wait for a job, that is, he could not go to the capital to wait for the specific assignment of official positions by the imperial court. The parents of the scholar surnamed Chen died of illness after he was promoted to filial piety, and he had no brothers and sisters, so he wanted to find something to do in his hometown first, save money and then go to the capital. It just so happened that Miss Wang also had a minor younger brother, and she wanted to invite a knowledgeable and prestigious person to be a Xixi, that is, a teacher, so the Wang family invited Chen Xiaolian to be the teacher of the little son.

Originally, "men and women don't kiss", he couldn't see Miss Wang. However, Miss Wang's father and eldest brother are both officials in the capital, and only her mother is in charge of affairs at home, which is very hard. In order to share her mother's worries and care about her younger brother's studies, Miss Wang often came to the study to supervise her younger brother's studies.

After coming and going, after a long time, Chen Xiaolian and Miss Wang fell in love with each other. The two fell in love, and they were going to ask Miss Wang for marriage when his father came back. Unexpectedly, as soon as the eldest of the Wang family stepped into the house, he began to buy a dowry for his daughter. It turned out that Miss Wang's father had already set up a family affair with the king of Hejian for Miss Wang in the court a month ago.

Now, it's really a "bolt from the blue"! Chen Xiaolian wanted to explain the situation to Miss Wang's father at that time, but Miss Wang was afraid that her father would be furious and angry with Chen Xiaolian when he heard it. She went to her father in person and said that her father was furious when he knew the consequences, and first drove Chen Xiaolian out, and then sent someone to keep Miss Wang under strict supervision. Miss Wang tried her best to not go out a single step, seeing that the wedding date was approaching day by day, Miss Wang was anxious, but she was helpless.

In the middle of the night, Chen Xiaolian suddenly appeared in front of her. Miss Wang was so happy that she pounced, who would have thought that she would pounce on her. Chen Xiaolian told her with a pale face that he couldn't see her face even if he tried all the means outside, and then he was desperate and committed suicide by taking poison in a ruthless heart, so that his ghost could come to see her for the last time. Miss Wang was heartbroken, so she used this white jade comb as a token and agreed with Chen Xiaolian to marry again in the next life and never separate! Then she threw herself into the fire! ”

When the man said this, his voice choked, his already reddened eyes were full of desolation and pain, looking at the white jade comb's eyes, just like Chen Xiaolian in that story was looking at Miss Wang.

It's just a story, is he serious?

Could he be the Chen Xiaolian in the story? I gasped and looked at him again. Not really! If he is that filial piety, he is an ancient ghost, and he should be wearing the clothes of their dynasty, not the way he is wearing a tunic and leather shoes now! What's more, he can come out in broad daylight, and his speech and actions are no different from ours, he should be a living person! It seems to be a little neurotic, or maybe you have been carried away by the story.

I cleared my throat: "Ahem, Uncle Chen, it's just a story!" You're not that Chen Xiaolian, don't be so sad, right? ”

"Well, no, no! I'm that Chen Xiaolian! ”

"Huh? What the! My eyes widened and I almost fell off the stool.

"Oh, no. I mean, I'm not exactly Chen Xiaolian now, I'm ......" The man hurriedly explained to me.

But at this time, I heard Xiaohua's voice downstairs: "Sister Xiaoxing, Sister Xiaoxing, where are you?" Are you back? I bought plum blossom cake and came back. Did you buy it? ”

I turned to look at the man and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Chen, I'm going home!" ”

“…… All right! Can you come over at night? ”

At night? I don't want to hear this spooky story! "I can't come at night!"

"That'...... You'll come back tomorrow, okay? I'm not done yet! The man was visibly disappointed, but he asked with a grin.

I was reluctant, but when I saw his hopeful look, I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I nodded and said, "Okay." I'll come back tomorrow to hear your story! ”

After dinner, Xiaohua finally happily took the marbles he won from me today and went upstairs to his house to play. I watched his back jumping and my heart was happy. I was about to go home to watch TV, and when I was about to turn the stairs, I looked into the room where the strange man lived. I saw that the door was closed, the windows were black, and there was not even a trace of light inside, what a strange neighbor! I wanted to go over and have a look, but then I thought: I'm going now, maybe he'll pull me to continue listening to the story. Forget it, this story is miserable when you listen to it, don't be sleepless at night!

I dismissed the idea of walking over and went home to watch TV. There was an old film of the Anti-Japanese War playing on the TV, and I watched it with relish. Looking at it, I felt that my eyes were a little astringent, my eyelids were heavy, and I felt very sleepy and wanted to sleep.

While I was wondering, a beautiful girl suddenly appeared on the TV wearing a long dress with a bright red background and beautiful embroidered patterns, her hair was coiled on her head, and she was pulled up with several jeweled hairpins, and her clothes were similar to the kimonos worn by Japanese people on TV, without buttons, with long and wide sleeves, and a pink belt tied around her waist. She stood motionless, with a monotonous background of white and yellowing behind her, which accentuated her beauty and beauty.

I thought: which channel is this program? The background is so monotonous, it's really shoddy! Why doesn't the heroine speak, what do you want people to watch? As if sensing my thoughts, the beautiful girl raised her head and looked at me without blinking. Her eyes are so beautiful, with long eyelashes, big eyes, and watery eyes that seem to be able to speak. I also stared at her, but, for a long time, I stared at her, and she looked at me, but she didn't speak!

No, what kind of show is this? I remember that I just watched an anti-Japanese war movie, and the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese devils were fighting fiercely! Why did she become a silent girl standing there stupidly for a while? Maybe it's a rare advertisement! I waited a little longer, but the beautiful girl was still on the TV screen. I muttered: It's boring! He stood up and turned off the TV.

The room was dark, and I walked around the walls and went to the bed to lie down. I was just about to close my eyes and go to sleep, when I suddenly jumped up from the bed. Because on the wall next to the window of my house, I don't know when, there was a bright light that was white and yellow, and then the beautiful girl on the TV screen just now appeared on the wall of my house!

I stood on the ground and blinked vigorously, yes! It's really like a girl in red in a kimono. I looked around to make sure it wasn't the TV on the wall of my house. I lamented in my heart: even the people in the TV will come to my house to look for me, and my luck is not ordinary!

I had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and cautiously ask, "Ahem, excuse me, who are you?" Are you looking for me? She didn't answer.

I gritted my teeth and asked, "Is there anything you want me to do?" Is there something you need me to help with? She actually reacted, nodded at me slightly, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and she looked at me with a look of hope.

I waited for her to tell me if there was anything I wanted me to help with, but after waiting for a long time, she was still the same as before, just didn't speak.

I pouted helplessly: "If you don't speak, I really can't guess what you want me to help you with!" She was in a hurry, and it seemed to take a long time to pick up one hand and make a few strokes in her hair. I watched her movements with wide eyes, but I still couldn't guess what it meant. Her expression became very sad, her eyes were full of tears, and her body was trembling!

I was also in a hurry, so I had to say, "Well, you speak!" What do you want me to do? She finally opened her mouth and said the word "white", and there seemed to be something behind it, but I couldn't hear it clearly, so I hurriedly leaned over to Banbi, hoping to hear it more clearly. When I got to the wall, she suddenly disappeared.

I had no choice but to look at Banbi and smile bitterly, thinking: What does she want me to do? "White"? White what? Daytime? Rice? Hair? White? I'm not good at riddles, and there are so few hints!

I went back to bed, but I couldn't sleep anymore. I thought about it over and over again, but I didn't have a clue. The next day, I yawned and went to school, still thinking about last night. I didn't think I listened to much of the whole day's lessons. Finally, when school was over, I walked to the school gate, Xiaohua was waiting for me, and the two of us went home together.

I thought as I walked, talking to Xiaohua absentmindedly. When I was about to get home, my mind suddenly flashed to the girl's action of drawing on her hair last night, wasn't this combing her hair? I stopped suddenly, white? Could it be - white jade comb! Is there a connection between her and that strange neighbor who has just moved in? I decided to go to Uncle Chen right away and finish his story, maybe then I could find the answer!
