Anecdote

There are quite a lot of street markets set up by people, and ghosts also place things on the road, which is called "ghost market".

After the third watch, when the night is quiet, the area from the West Building to Luqiu is brightly lit and full of sound.It seems that there is a market, where men, women, old and children come and go, and the food in the restaurant is fully cooked, and the air is steaming.People who enter by mistake often see weeping willows on both sides and hear whispers, but there are no people, only ghostly.

There is a son of a giant gentry, named Jia Xu, Fang Shiqiuba, snow-skinned and jade-looking, and his demeanor is the best among his peers.Sometimes I go to a friend's banquet, talking and laughing happily, drinking too much, and I don't feel late.After several miles in the sedan chair, we passed the west building, and suddenly a gust of cold wind like ice, and a thick fog rose from the side of the road.The bearers walked and stopped, not knowing the way, and seeing a faint line of lights, they went into the market.

Jia Xuben was sleeping soundly while drunk, and gradually woke up. When he felt that the sedan chair had stopped, he got up and looked at it.In great shock, the bearers and several servants disappeared without a trace.And there is a lot of business going around, with cars, shoulders, and stalls, all kinds of surprises.

"It's late at night and the moon is bright, why is the market so noisy?"

Since he traveled so far, he didn't know the rumors about the local ghost market, so he was just confused.

Then get off the sedan chair and walk, and there are countless shops on the way. There is a meat market in the west, a vegetable market in the east, a rice market in the north, and a wine pavilion in the south.For the rest of the small businessmen, there are everything that one expects to buy among them, such as shortbread cakes, honey tea and spirits.In addition to the meals, there are also precious sea pearls, flowers, creams and brocades, elegant dresses, jewelry and tooth combs, all of which are extremely skillful.Or playing with objects, it is rare to see it on weekdays.In the gaps on the street corners, one or two buskers use it as a stage, playing and singing, all of them are proficient.

When passing by, when they saw Jia Xu coming, they all peeked sideways and smiled lightly.

Jia Xu became more suspicious and astonished, he walked more and more quickly, he wanted to go out but didn't know the way, his forehead was sweating.Every time an old man was sitting in a teahouse, playing with his fan, he saw him wandering in panic, and said in a loud voice, "Boy, did you enter by mistake? You can go to the west building to find the owner of the market, otherwise, you can't get out." Hearing this, Jia Xu asked The old man thanked him and went away, just as he pointed out. After a while, he went to the west building, and saw the four beautiful maidservants coming out with lamps, and greeted them with a smile.Jia Xu was frightened, and hurriedly said: "I want to find the owner of the market, and ask for a way to return home." Among them, a man in red hung his head and replied: "The master has been waiting for a long time, and ordered the slave to welcome the distinguished guest."

"I don't know your master before, how can I be called a distinguished guest?" Surprised, he was surrounded by all the beautiful maidservants into the main hall and sat at the table.Then a young man in brocade clothes came out from behind the screen, his eyes were picturesque, and his whole body was full of air and luxury.He also sat down and said to Jia Xu: "You gentleman, you strayed into this market by mistake, and at dawn, I will send someone to take you home." He also ordered four beautiful maidservants to have wine and food to eat with him.

At the beginning, he was timid and refused, but again and again, he began to eat and drink, and thanked him endlessly.

Originally, I went to the banquet to enjoy myself and was full of wine and food, but after tasting this delicious food and wine, I was so hungry that I didn't feel like eating too much.Jia Xu thought it was strange, seeing the young master lowered his eyes, but smiled and said nothing, his cheeks were stained red, he felt that he was a giant gentleman, now he was forgetful, ignorant of etiquette, and bowed his head in shame.

Seeing it, the young master said: "It's all right, the food and drink here are unusual, and it's good for you to eat."

At that time, when the moon was on the west building, Jia Xu was drunk and fell asleep at the table in a daze.The young master personally helped him to the inner room, where the red candle curtain hung down, and he undressed and went to bed.Then he was sitting on the edge of the couch, keeping his eyes on him, and hearing his ravings.All the beautiful maidservants peeped at him, all giggled and hurried away.

At dawn, Jia Xu woke up and sat in the sedan chair, opened the curtain, but saw weeping willows on both sides, and there was no market.And the bearers and servants also woke up from their dreams, not knowing what happened last night, they were shocked, and when they heard Jia Xu's words, Fang was terrified to carry the sedan chair back.

Later, I asked the local people that Yunxi Building had been dilapidated for a long time and no one lived there.

And the middle street market is called "guishi".

I have returned to the mansion, eat less, and feel that the porridge, rice, fruits and vegetables are all fishy, ​​and I am getting weaker and weaker.Often in deep sleep, the son of Meng Jinyi said: "The number of days is determined early, and you only have one year left in your life. When the time comes, you should return to the market and go to the west building to find me." , but hugged his waist and abdomen, bowed his head and kissed him.Then he woke up with a start, his lips were so warm, as if they were talking seriously, with a lingering aftertaste.Jia Xu covered his face and sighed, he was so ashamed that he couldn't talk to others.

Fearing that he would get sick, the family members asked monks for medical treatment, but medicine and stones were ineffective, and fasting was useless.For several months like this, Jia Xu prefers to lie on a quilt and pillow and sleep peacefully all day long. Every time he dreams that the young master will come, he will stroke his breasts, share the pillow and kiss, and the sex scenes will not stop.He died after a few years, his face was as white as paper, his body was as light as a bird, and he was buried near Luqiu.

A ghostly soul, in the middle of the night, gradually arrived at the market.Jia Xu was obsessed and remained silent. He went into the west building and saw four beautiful maidservants dressed up to greet him, and the young master was also waiting in the main hall.The wine and food on the table are arranged in various colors as in the past, and they are all delicious. Jia Xu is drunk, and Fang asked: "Your city, is it a ghost market?" If you swallow it, your soul will return to the West Tower after death, and you will not enter reincarnation." He got up again, and embraced Jia Xu in his arms, "You are also the owner of the market, in the mortal world Everything has returned to dust."

Jia Xu suddenly understood and said, "You have planned a long time ago."

The young master laughed and said, "Yes."

Then he opened the quilt and undressed, and cared for each other.Jia Xu was so shy that he lay on his back against the wall, covering his face with his hands.Then the young master sat outside and fondled his chest from time to time. He felt as smooth as fat, white and tender as jade, and his love became more and more intense.Jia Xu just laughed, didn't say a word, and let him be obscene.

"When should I advance?" The young master exposed his yang, eager to try.

"That's right." Jia Xu leaned forward, his whole body flushed.

Since then, the owner of the market got married and held a banquet for more than a month, and all the ghosts went to congratulate him.The post-ghost market is as noisy every night as before, and the transactions after death are no different from the ordinary market, except that no strangers stray into it.
