The south of the Yangtze River in Layue, wrapped in silver, a little snowflake that flies down from time to time, also brings people a pleasant feeling, a snowflake, falling on the river, accompanied by the sound of flowing water, as if hearing bursts of private sighs.

The town of Mudu is divided in two by a small river, and the residents of the town know that there is a woman named Chenxi in the east of the river, whose father is a well-known wealthy merchant in the town, and her family moved to Youzhou in the north three years ago.

On the west side of the river, there is a carpenter surnamed Cheng, after his second son disappeared three years ago, Cheng carpenter has been crazy, except for work, he is looking at the northern sky, his eyes are dull and empty, a look, it is a day. Cheng Carpenter has four sons, named after the east, west, north and south, and the second son is called Cheng Xi.

The river that crossed the town of Mudu, there was no name, Erlang had heard the old man in the town mention it, and the river was called Mulan. Erlang is the second child of Tailai Pavilion, and he has been lonely since he was a child, and he was taken in as a buddy by the shopkeeper of Tailai Pavilion.

The sun has not yet risen, Erlang yawned and pushed open the window, Tailai Pavilion is the best restaurant in Mudu Town, facing the Mulan River, through the window, you can see the scenery by the river, but Erlang is not such a good Yaxing, he opened the window just to breathe, ready to greet guests.

Rubbing his eyes, a little less sleepy, but Erlang saw that on the riverside, a woman in a red neon dress was dancing, that gorgeous dance, reminded Erlang of something, he patted his head, remembered that it was Cheng Xi, the son of Cheng carpenter, who had pointed to the dancing girl on the other side of the river a few years ago, and said to him, this is the Hu Xuan Dance from Youzhou, Erlang still remembers that after Cheng Xi was drunk at that time, he said to himself, she is the favorite Hu Xuan Dance.

Erlang pulled down the rag on his shoulder, wiped the table in front of him, and didn't continue to look at it, his greatest wish was to save enough money to marry a wife and have children, he couldn't understand and didn't want to understand the Yaxing of these young ladies in the boudoir, he looked at it twice, but the most impressive thing was not the dancing woman's dancing posture, but her red neon dress, although gorgeous, but a little old, Erlang vaguely remembered, as if a few years ago, he had seen Miss Chen's family wear this dress, and I saw it again today, Erlang just said secretly in his heart, Could it be that this person is Miss Chen's family, this lady's show is also like my Erlang to wear a piece of clothing for a few years。

The store has entered the guests, Erlang immediately greeted him, a young man and a few porters entered the Tailai Pavilion, this is today's first business, Erlang is naturally very attentive, the son of the brocade dress went up to the second floor, the shopkeeper put away the pen and ink, personally greeted the son upstairs, Erlang served tea, took care of everything, the young man commanded a few words, Erlang went to the kitchen and the cook was busy.

Vaguely, Erlang knew that this young son was the eldest young master of the Chen family, and he came back to worship the ancestors today, and he didn't dare to listen to it more, so after setting up the wine and food, he went downstairs to greet the porters who accompanied him, and there were no many scruples in front of these subordinates, and Erlang also chatted with them a few words. Listen to these porters said, after the Chen family moved to Youzhou, Miss Chenxi was not adaptable, and she was weak since she was a child, and she finally died after a few tosses, birth, old age, sickness and death were common, and the strange thing is that after Chenxi died, her clothes and jewelry disappeared inexplicably, and the Chen family was quite convinced of the ghosts and gods, so they also invited a few Taoist priests to do a few rituals, this time the young master of the Chen family returned to his hometown, one was to worship the ancestors, and the other was to send his sister's ashes back to his homeland.

Erlang was quite surprised when he heard this, just now he thought that the woman dancing by the river was Chenxi, but at this moment he realized that he had guessed wrong, and smiled secretly.

Three days later, Chenxi's ashes entered the ancestral grave of the Chen family, and a burst of blowing and blowing also made the quiet Mudu Town lively. Soon after, it was rumored that the river was haunted at midnight and early in the morning, and people often saw the dead Dawn appearing by the river, wearing the clothes of his life, dancing a gorgeous Hu Xuan dance, Erlang was already timid, and he was even more frightened by the rumors, he had seen the female ghost dancing.

Later, the town's hunting and patrolling together made the female ghost disappear without a trace, and after this time, no one has seen this female ghost again. In the cold of winter, the river has frozen, and the rumors of the female ghost have gradually faded into oblivion with the passage of time.

In the coldest solar term, the sky is full of goose feather snowflakes, fluttering and sprinkling, and the residents of the town are also living in seclusion, gradually getting through this cold winter. This winter passed, and Cheng Carpenter still didn't wait for Cheng Xi to come back.

The arrester in the town found a corpse in the most remote corner of the town, the corpse was wearing a bright red dress, and the face was smeared with a thick fat powder, which was a big deal in Mudu Town, and he immediately rushed to the autopsy, but finally found that the corpse dressed as a woman was actually a man.

In the broken temple where the corpse was found, the catchers also found a large number of women's clothes and accessories, the most precious of which was the neon dress worn by the man, some people recognized that this was the clothes of Miss Chenxi, and some people exclaimed "Chenxi" after seeing the corpse, the appearance of this corpse was exactly the same as the dead Chenxi, and even the feet became a three-inch golden lotus like Chenxi, and finally the identity of the corpse could not be determined, which also became an unsolved case.

Later, when Cheng Carpenter saw this corpse, he cried bitterly, and everyone wondered why he held the corpse and shouted "Morning Dawn", and he couldn't afford to be sick from then on, and passed away a month later.

Only Erlang seemed to hear that the two words called by Cheng Carpenter were-Cheng Xi.

Dawn, the end
