Lingjian Ghost Story: Fenglu Hanzhang

Chang An returned home from Cang Wu's place, lying on the hard broken wooden bed, tossing and turning, the bed board made a slight creaking sound, amplifying and disturbing Chang An's mood in the quiet night.Chang An was anxious and excited, as long as he rescued Cang Wu and found a quiet place to live in seclusion for the rest of his life, he was alone now anyway, no one would stop them from being together.

However, Chang An was a little worried that Meng Cangwu didn't have that kind of thought for him, and Cangwu probably just regarded himself as a child.But Chang An made up his mind: Even if Cang Wu doesn't like him, he still has to be with him for the rest of his life, and he has to be nice to him all the time so that he won't be alone anymore.

The throbbing mood gradually calmed down, and Chang An finally fell asleep. After two hours of light sleep, he heard a rooster crow at dawn.Not long after, there was the sound of pots and pans being clattered in the small courtyard, and uncle and aunt seemed to have gotten up.Chang An rubbed his aching temples due to lack of sleep, pulled himself together, propped himself up on the bed, and went to Cangwu's old house to fetch silver taels today, and repaired the new bridge one day, so that he could get up sooner. Cang Wu was rescued in one day!

Chang An washed up briefly, and obediently greeted his uncle and aunt, saying that he was going out to play with his friends, and was inevitably scolded by his aunt: "I only know how to go out all day, and I don't want to help your uncle do something." Farm work, what's the use of raising you waste!"

The uncle quickly stopped the aunt's words: "What are you talking about? Chang An is weak. I didn't let him do the farm work. It's not like I can't do it by myself. Why do you blame the child?" , raised his voice twice and wanted to continue to scold, but Chang An persuaded him: "I'm sorry, Auntie, it's my fault, you can just scold me, uncle is still rushing to work in the field, first let him Let's have breakfast."

Chang An took the initiative to show his favor, but my aunt didn't feel embarrassed to make a fuss anymore, she glanced at the two of them fiercely, then turned and left.Chang An greeted his uncle and walked out of the yard.There is no need to endure this kind of day for a long time, and I will be relieved immediately...

Thirteen miles south along the Weishui River, there is a large purple bamboo forest...Chang An took out a warm sweet potato from his bosom, which was secretly given to him by his uncle just now. He kept driving along the river, and if he went back too late, his aunt would be suspicious. Chang An was also tired from walking and didn't dare to rest, he rushed forward panting, looking for the house that Cang Wu said.

After rushing for two or three hours, Chang An finally found the purple bamboo forest and the low-key and elegantly decorated Meng's house.As expected, the gate was locked. Chang An walked along the outer wall and found the small door that Cang Wu said. Fortunately, the small door was not locked, it was just concealed.Chang An pushed open the door, feeling a bit of secret expectation and satisfaction in his heart. This is the place where Cang Wu once lived. Perhaps, Cang Wu can be brought back to a familiar place, and Cang Wu should be very happy too. Bar.

Chang An followed the route Cang Wu provided him, and found Cang Wu's study room not long after. He groped carefully and found the dark room mechanism inside the nanmu bookcase, and opened the mechanism, the inner wall of the bookshelf really slowly A crack opened, and then a dark room revealed its entrance.Chang An took out the torch that he carried with him, blew on it, and walked in according to it.

Meng Cangwu's dark room also had a desk with all the four treasures of the study, and an oil lamp, Chang An lit the oil lamp with a torch to illuminate the surroundings more clearly.Different from the usual scenes where gold, silver and jewels are hidden in the dark room of rich men and nobles, Cang Wu’s dark room is mostly filled with ancient books, calligraphy and paintings and elegant playthings in the study room. A small wooden box was found in the calligraphy and painting.

Chang An found the bronze key that Cang Wu had mentioned from under the oil lamp holder, and opened the lock of the wooden box. The silver tael inside was not too much, estimated to be only seven or eighty taels. I have never seen so much silver!Chang An put it away carefully, hugged it in his arms, extinguished the oil lamp in the dark room, and left the dark room to go outside after making sure that there were no dangerous factors.

It seems that Meng Cangwu's old house has been shelved for many years. He died young and had no wife or children. After the old people in the family passed away one by one, the house was devoid of people, and thick dust accumulated everywhere.Seeing such a scene, Chang An planned to find a time to help Cang Wu clean it up, so as not to pick him up later and feel sad when he saw such a dilapidated house.
