Chapter 16: Delivering Books in the Middle of the Night
""Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" and "Confucianism" These six novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties were originally called six masterpieces and had great influence. It's a pity that "The History of Confucianism" was excluded by experts because it was too negative, and "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" was kicked out because of the strange feelings...... However, even if "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is not included in the six famous novels, it is also a work with a very high historical status and literary status......
Li Changge took the brush, looked at the white paper on the table and thought about it.
"Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is undoubtedly a very influential work, containing 491 short stories, but it cannot be written down in full, after all, many of them satirize the officialdom imperial examination.
And it's not normal for a scholar who has been living in Qinghe County to suddenly write so many ghost stories.
Li Changge thought about it, first wrote down the mandrill chapter, and put it behind "Condor" to try the response.
However, there are some things that need to be changed in the Mandrill chapter.
After thinking about it, Li Changge slowly started writing.
Li Ge said that his great-ancestor was still employed in Liugou Temple in Nanshan, Mai Qiuxuanli, and returned after ten years. The door of Qizhai is dusty on the case, and the windows are full of silk. The servant dung is removed, and he feels refreshed and can sit at night, but he brushes the couch and displays the bedding. The flat door is on the pillow, and the moonlight is full of windows. ”
Li Changge wrote on the paper one by one:
"After a long time, everything is silent. Suddenly, the wind rumbled, the mountain gate suddenly sounded, and the monk was lost; In the midst of attention, the sound of the wind gradually approached the house; The door of the house is open, and there is a lot of suspicion. Before he could think about it, the sound had entered the house, and the sound of boots was sonorous, and he gradually approached the bedroom door, and his heart began to be terrified. The door of the bedroom was opened, ignoring it, a big ghost bowed and stuffed in, stood in front of the couch, and died with Liang Qi; The face is like an old melon skin, his eyes are flashing, he looks around the room, his mouth is like a basin, and his teeth are sparse and sparse about three inches long; The tongue moves and the throat sounds, and the sound of the horn rings through the four walls......"
This story is written that Li Ge once told the past of his great-grandfather, who used to study in Liugou Temple, and one night he tossed and turned in bed and never slept, when he suddenly heard the mountain wind howling, and a strange footstep appeared outside the door.
Immediately after, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they had come to the door.
Before Li Gong could see clearly, a giant ghost entered the room and reached out to grab Li Gong.
Li Gong saw that he couldn't escape, so he could only fight, so he drew his knife and fought with the giant ghost, who knew that the giant ghost was invulnerable.
The giant ghost stretched out his hand to grab Li Gong, but he caught the quilt, dragged the quilt and left.
Li Gong hurriedly called for help, and when his family came in, they found that the door had been pierced by five fingers.
And after dawn, Li Gong didn't dare to stay here anymore, so he left with the bookcase on his back.
Li Changge didn't finish writing until eight o'clock in the evening, exhaled, looked at the story on the paper, and smiled on his face.
Although this story is simple, it is extremely thrilling and can be regarded as a short story.
As soon as he felt it, he felt that the tone in his body seemed to increase, and although he had been busy all day, he was still in good spirits.
Li Caiwei had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him, and after eating, Li Changge went out with the manuscript, and he told Li Wei that he would send him the manuscript at night, and he couldn't lose his trust.
Li Caiwei saw that he was going out, so she hurriedly got him a piece of clothing and told him to be careful.
"Don't worry, Sister Caiwei, I'll come back as soon as I finish sending the manuscript."
Li Changge put on his clothes and walked in the direction of Li Wei's house, Li Wei lived on Dongmen Street, Li Changge walked for half an hour to arrive, Li Mansion is a three-entry mansion, there are two stone lions in front of the door is very magnificent, and there are two big red lanterns hanging on the door, which illuminates the front of the door.
The door was closed, Li Changge came to the door and knocked on the copper ring, and after a while, the door was opened, and the family walked out of it, and after a glance at Li Changge, he asked, "Are you?" ”
Li Changge said: "Under Li Changge, I promised Li Fujun to deliver the manuscript during the day, and now I am here with the manuscript." ”
When the family heard that it was Li Changge, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Wait a minute, I'll go and inform the master." ”
Not long after the family went in, before Li Wei's people saw it, a voice came out: "Changge, you let the old man wait!" The old man thought you weren't coming. ”
Li Changge hurriedly walked out when he saw Li Wei in civilian clothes, hugged the manuscript in his hand, and said: "The student is a little absorbed in writing books, so he came late, and asked Lord Fujun to forgive his sins." ”
Li Wei looked at the thick manuscript in Li Changge's arms, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed and said: "It's okay, it's okay, you sent it to me in the middle of the night to see that you are kind, come, follow me in and sit." Do you want me to call my little daughter out? ”
"......" Li Changge was really afraid that Li Wei would leave him here directly, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Fujun, it's getting late, the students won't go in, and after sending the manuscript, they will go home, and my sister is still waiting at home." ”
Li Wei smiled: "Okay, I'll have someone send you back in a carriage." ”
After saying that, Li Wei waved his hand to call the family and led the carriage from the stable.
The carriage was pulled by two horses, and it looked like a miracle horse.
Li Changge said: "Thank you, students! ”
Li Wei waved his hand and said, "Ah Fu, send the head of the Li case home." Changge, tomorrow I will ask Ah Fu to take you to the house on Ximen Street, and then you will live there, and it will be easier for me to find you. ”
Li Changge arched his hand and said, "Then thank you Li Fujun." ”
Li Changge got into the carriage and hesitated for a moment and said, "Li Fujun, will you read my manuscript tomorrow?" ”
"I've been itching for days, and I've long wanted to see it as soon as possible, and I'll finish it tonight without waiting for tomorrow!" Li Wei said with a smile.
Li Changge: "......"
"What's wrong, Changge?" Li Wei said.
"It's okay...... Lord Fujun drinks more wolfberry tea, it's not good to stay up late. ”
"Got it."
Li Wei smiled, turned back, shook his head and said, "This kid, what kind of wolfberry tea do I need to drink." ”
"I've been longing for this ending for a long time, and I'll watch it together tonight, so I don't have to keep thinking about it."
Holding the manuscript preciously, Li Weile returned to his study.
Li Changge rode in the carriage in the direction of his home, and silently lamented for Li Wei in his heart.
Should he ......
Think I've finished writing "Condor"?
You can't blame me for the insomnia!
I'm letting you watch it during the day.
After arriving at Li's house, Li Changge got out of the carriage, and Ah Fu, who was driving, said with a look of reverence: "Case Chief Li, my lord likes you, and he often reads your name, and wants to marry Miss to you, by the way, I will pick you up tomorrow and take you to the new house." ”
"Thank you then."
Li Changge smiled and took out half a tael of silver from his arms and stuffed it to Ah Fu: "This is for you, thank you for sending me back." ”
Ah Fu hurriedly excused himself and said: "Ah Fu is on the orders of the master, how dare he accept the silver taels from the head of the Li case?" ”
"Take it!" Li Changge gave it to him.
Seeing that Li Changge was very resolute, Ah Fu also accepted it, and couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face.
The head of the Li case is really approachable!
