The moonlight is bright and soft, like a glittering and slowly flowing clear water. It was a great night. There are round tables and chairs in the courtyard, and on the tables are sake, food, and fruits. The eight ghosts sat down on their chairs and ate while looking thoughtfully at the moon.

Xia Yu saw that Huzi was silent, and hurriedly said: "Brother Huzi, I have said all these things, you can also talk about your affairs." Huzi thought for a while and said: "It's okay, there's nothing to be ashamed of these, when we live, we want to have a face, and now it's nothing to die." Huang Pei drank a glass of wine and said: "It's happy to talk about it, but it's not comfortable to hold it in your heart." Huzi nodded and said, "When there was a flood in our hometown that year, I was the only one living in a thatched house, so I was swept away by the flood. Huang Pei also said slowly: "I will also talk about my own business, and I am not afraid of everyone's jokes." They said, "Just say it." Huang Pei nodded and told everyone about the past.

Besides, when I was sixteen years old, I married Fang'er. Fang'er is beautiful and kind, and we love each other. Go to the field every day to do farm work, go out early and return late. Unbeknownst to me, I fell ill because of the heat. Fang'er said: "Brother Pei, don't worry, I can do these work in the field alone, you can just give birth and recuperate." Huang Pei said, "How can this work? Fang'er said, "It's okay, my cousin will come over to help in the next two days." Huang Pei said: "This is the best, and I am relieved." As she spoke, Fang'er came with a decoction with a smile and said, "You drink the medicine quickly, I should go to work in the field." Huang Pei nodded and said, "Fang'er has worked hard for you, and I will take good care of you when I get well." Fang'er nodded.

A few days later. I was feeling better and could get out of bed and walk, but I felt bored, so I went into the field. Seeing that Fang'er was not there and went to the thatched hut again, I was dumbfounded. The so-called cousin and Fang'er hugged each other affectionately. Seeing that I was dumbfounded, I couldn't help but rush up, pulled Fen'er out of his cousin's arms, and slapped Fang'er twice in the face. Fang'er covered her face and said, "My cousin and I are in love, my father has to marry me to you, I don't like you at all, you beat me to death." Huang Pei sneered: "Okay, okay, I won't kill you." I'm going to beat this stinky man to death. With that, he went up to fight with Fang'er's cousin. Although Huang Pei is sick, he has kung fu, Huang Pei used a poisonous trick and hit Fang'er's cousin in the eye, Fang'er hurriedly blocked it, who knew that it hit Fang'er's head and Fang'er fainted. Fang'er's cousin hurriedly picked up Fang'er and said, "Let's fight again another day, I'll go find Lang Zhong for Fang'er first." With that, Fang'er's cousin hugged Fang'er and went. Huang Pei stood stupidly and watched their distant figures disappear into the grass.

Huang Pei was listless, distraught and didn't know what to do. Huang Pei went back to the house and took a pot of gourd wine, and sat by the river to drink. After a while, a pot of gourd wine was drunk. Dizzy and dizzy, I saw that the river had turned into a bed, so I staggered forward. Huang Pei was awakened by the cold water, and wanted to go ashore but was washed away by the ruthless river. Since then, Huang Pei has become a ghost in the water.

Li Xin finished the farm work every day, brought some wine to the river in the evening and sat on a small boat, drinking wine and fishing at the same time. Li Xin drank alone, and when he felt bored, he took out the flute from the cloth bag and played the flute, and the flute sound was melodious and beautiful.

At this time, a teenager came, and this teenager was Huang Pei. He clapped his hands and hurriedly said, "Wonderful, wonderful!" Li Xin raised his head and saw that it was a young man, and hurriedly put the flute into the cloth bag. Li Xin said: "Let the son smile." Huang Pei said: "The flute sound is very beautiful, but at that time, not a single fish can be hit." Jing can catch fish, so don't you sit all night in vain?" Li Xin listened and said: "Fishing is just a kind of Yaxing, and I still focus on the fields. It's okay to meet Childe tonight and not fish. With that, he asked Huang Pei to sit down and drink wine together, Huang Pei was very happy to see him so enthusiastic, and he didn't shirk it, and sat down busily. And they drank from each other. The conversation was very speculative, and there was a feeling of seeing each other late. Until dawn.

I couldn't even catch a fish that night, and Li Xin didn't care. Huang Pei said, "In this case, I will go and bring you fish, and you will not work in the fields today, but go back and sell the fish." Have a good night's sleep, don't you think?" Li Xin said: "Childe, why are you embarrassed to let you go to catch fish?" Huang Pei said: "It's not a secret, my name is Huang Pei, I once drank a lot of wine, and then I fell into the river and became a ghost in the water." Li Xin was originally bold, seeing that Huang Pei was kind and had no ill will towards herself, everyone was in love, and she was very happy to have such a friend. Li Xin said: "Brother Pei, my name is Li Xin. Then it's okay that since the son treats me as a friend, then I'm not polite, if there is a fish, I'll sell it for some silver. Let's drink together in the evening. Huang Pei nodded and hurriedly walked away.

After a while, Huang Pei came back and said, "Li Xin, come out quickly, the fish are coming!" Li Xin hurriedly came out of the cabin and saw that he heard the sound of many fish devouring the bait, Li Xin hurriedly cast his nets and caught more than a dozen big fish in one net. He was very happy and thanked Huang Pei. Li Xin said: "Brother Pei is really capable, if I don't have a single fish like this." Huang Pei smiled and said nothing, and left.

Li Xin sold the fish and bought more wine by the way. When I got home, I went to sleep. In the evening, when Li Xin came to the river, he saw that Huang Pei was already waiting for him on the boat. The two of them had a good drink. Huang Pei said: "There will be a stand-in at dawn, and I can be reincarnated." Li Xin hurriedly said: "Brother Pei is kind-hearted, and it is an excellent thing to be reincarnated as a human being earlier." But I don't know who will replace him?" Huang Pei said: "There was a woman who crossed the river and drowned. "Speaking of which. Li Xin understood, and it was not easy to say more. The two drank and ate food while talking. Before you know it, it's dawn.

Li Xin sat on the bow of the boat and watched, and sure enough, there was a woman who had fallen into the water by the river. Li Xin was startled and hurriedly said: "Brother Pei, this stand-in can't help it! She is my wife's sister, please let her live." As he spoke, he kowtowed. When Huang Pei heard Li Xin say this, he was very disappointed, and saw the woman crying with her hands and feet, so she couldn't bear to give up her wish to be reincarnated. Li Xin saw his wife's sister float up and down, and then climbed up the riverbank in water, sat on the ground and rested for a while, and then left.

Li Xin saw that his wife's sister was fine, so he was relieved, and went back to the cabin to wait for Huang Pei to see that he didn't come, so he fell asleep unconsciously. At night, Li Xin still went to the same place to fish and wait for Huang Pei, who knew that Huang Pei was already waiting for him there. Huang Pei said: "Now we are together again. Li Xin knelt on the ground and said, "Originally, I was happy that the woman was your stand-in, but I pity her for being my wife's sister, and I can't bear to let you hurt her life." I beg you to give up this opportunity, but I don't know when someone will come in place for you, and I am sorry for you. Huang Pei helped Li Xin up, and said: "Since we are brothers, we should think about our brothers, it doesn't matter, it's worth knowing you, maybe you and I have unfinished fate!" Li Xin sighed and said: "Your kind of heart can always move God." The two of them drank and fished, and they were very happy.

A few days later, Huang Pei came to say goodbye to Li Xin again, and Li Xin thought that there was someone else who replaced Huang Pei. Huang Pei said: "No, my kindness touched the heavens last time, so I asked me to go to the body of the juggler who just died, if you don't forget our friendship, go and see me." The day before the Spring Festival, I will go to the yamen to perform and play, no matter what happens, don't be sad. Because I killed my wife Fang'er with my poisonous punch, there must be a catastrophe. Li Xin was startled when she heard this, and thought, "If you have something, how can I not save it?" Thinking of this. Li Xin nodded, and Huang Pei left. Li Xin saw that Huang Pei was gone, and he was not in the mood to fish, so he went home.

The day before the Spring Festival, a group of people will carry the colorful building to the Yamen of the Political Secretary to congratulate the Spring Festival. Li Xin also went there to see the excitement, and at the same time wanted to meet his brother Huang Pei, who was a new person.

Li Xin saw that many tourists had surrounded all sides like a wall, and the water could not be drained. Li Xin squeezed in so easily as she saw Huang Pei, and breathed a sigh of relief. I saw six officials sitting in the lobby, all wearing red robes. It was noisy and deafening.

Suddenly, I saw a person, leading a ten-year-old child with a burden, walking up to the hall, as if he had said something, but the voice was loud. Li Xin was very happy to see it, and thought, "This kid must be Huang Pei." "Come to think of this. Hurriedly walked over to say hello to him. But the official blocked Li Xin's going, and he had no choice but to watch from the sidelines.

I saw a servant dressed in black saying, "My lord asks you what kind of trick you are playing?" The man said, "My good trick is that I can grow all kinds of food things." After the official returned to the hall to make a report, he came down again and told him to perform to get red dates.

The trickster man nodded in agreement, took off his clothes and put them on the bamboo box. The boy thought to himself, "I can't conjure up red dates for fear of making the chief angry, what can I do with this?" Suddenly remembered his brother Li Xinlai, I don't know if he is coming? Li Xin saw that he knew that the child Huang Pei couldn't change red dates, just before Huang Pei left, he asked Li Xin to take red dates, and Li Xin brought some. Huang Pei saw a man waving at him, and when he took a closer look, it was none other than Li Xin, and tears flowed down his eyes with excitement.

Strange to say, the red dates that Li Xin packed in the cloth bag became smaller and flew into the bamboo box. Li Xin was very happy to see it, and Huang Pei was also relieved. Huang Pei pretended to say: "Dad has already promised the adult, how can he refuse?" The trickster was embarrassed for a while. The man opened the bamboo box and was dumbfounded, and took out two fake dates from his arms, but he didn't expect these real dates to come out, and he liked them. The man smiled and handed the big red dates in the bamboo basket to Huang Pei, who happily handed them to the officials. The officials liked it very much at first glance. was about to give Huang Pei a reward. Unexpectedly, a mad dog rushed up and jumped into the red dates. He scattered the dates all over the ground. The officials turned pale with fright. At this time, the mad dog ran away.

The official said angrily: "The bold child dares to let a mad dog bite the red dates." As he spoke, he cut off Huang Pei's head. Li Xin was startled, thinking to himself: "If I don't come, you won't have a disaster, I hurt you!" Thinking of this. Tears fell. At this time, the officials and their families who came to join in the excitement were so frightened that they had already left.

Li Xin hid aside and saw the tourists disperse, so he went to collect the body. Unexpectedly, the head was taken away by a mad dog. Li Xin hurriedly bought a coffin and went to bury Huang Pei.
