Strange Records of Mountain Ghosts

It was a sunny and breezy afternoon.

Mei Jinxing is seven years old and Mei Xiangqing is 13 years old.

"The yellow sand is blowing coldly, and there are visitors in the wind. She took Xiaoguang with her morning wine and knocked on the door lightly. The scholar near the door smelled a strange fragrance, and when he opened the door, he saw the lady from the Shuanghe Club last night, looking at him with a smile on her face. The scholar blushed, his hands were at a loss, he couldn't speak clearly, and he just stayed where he was. The young lady was alone, but she was very generous towards the scholar. She covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, nudged the scholar, and coincidentally entered the room. The scholar’s ​​face turned even redder, and he followed in foolishly.”

"The door was blown by the wind from nowhere, and it was slowly closed... um..."

Mei Xiangqing held a book of stories, and began to read with gusto, but she stopped making a sound after reading, and her eyes kept rolling around on it.She looked down hastily, bit her lip, smirked and frowned, a blush crept up her cheeks.

Mei Jinxing who was on the side was still a child, and when he had heard half of the story, he was in a tangle. He grabbed her sleeve and shook it: "Sister, why don't you read it? And then?"

Mei Xiangqing was entangled by him, her expression gradually became stiff, and she was furious when she came to the back. After reading the story book, she slapped the book on the table and said disdainfully: "This is a silly story."

"Why are you so stupid?" Mei Jinxing tugged on her sleeve persistently, but she didn't use much force, and shook it gently, a little coquettishly.

Mei Xiangqing rolled up the book and knocked on Mei Jinxing's head, with a bit of hatred for iron and steel: "After the two fell in love, the scholar found out that the beautiful lady was a fox demon and was scared away. After that, the scholar's journey went smoothly. After ten years as an official in the court, he was framed and imprisoned. The fox demon who had been secretly protecting him came to rescue him and put his life on the line. Finally, the scholar took his wife and children and lived in seclusion in the countryside. Do you think this fox demon is stupid?"

Mei Jinxing blinked, Mei Xiangqing spoke quickly, and he didn't understand: "Oh? Oh..."

Seeing his stupid appearance, Mei Xiangqing chuckled: "Looking at you like this, I don't understand."

Mei Jinxing retorted: "I understand! The fox demon is good!"

"What's the use of it?" Mei Xiangqing was very dissatisfied with the ending of the story, "I have to change it."

Mei Jinxing raised her hands high, her eyes sparkling: "I know! Changed to a fox demon to save the scholar, he didn't die, and the two lived in seclusion together!"

Mei Xiangqing really took the pen and paper, spread the paper and dipped it in ink, raised the pen, shook her head and said, "No, this story should be changed from the fact that the scholar was scared away."

Mei Jinxing lay on the table to read, but unfortunately he had only been in school for a few days and couldn't read a few words: "How can I change it?"

Mei Xiangqing was in high spirits: "Since the scholar has given up, the fox demon should also let go, and have nothing to do with the scholar."

"The world of mortals is just a dream, and the fox demon can be free to do what he likes."

Mei Jinxing tilted her head, and saw the flowing handwriting spread out on it.

"No, give the fox demon a name first." Mei Xiangqing put the brush holder in her mouth, "How can there be no name?"

Mei Jinxing looked into her radiant eyes and tugged at her sleeve: "My name is Miss Xiang."

Mei Xiangqing rolled her eyes and said she had made up her mind.

"What's it called?"

: ""Drunk lying in the world of mortals greedy for wonderful fragrance.It's called Miao Shengxiang! "

"Miaoshengxiang?" Mei Jinxing couldn't understand.

"It means the beauty that many people like." Mei Xiangqing explained with a little pride.

Mei Jinxing understood: "This is good."

"I think so, of course!"

.........

Before Mei Jinxing was 15 years old, she was always happy and carefree.He thought, could it be that he was too happy for God to see him and punish him?

If so, then only let yourself suffer, and don't hurt others.

It's a pity that what he was thinking while lying in the snake pit failed to come true.

And the reason for everything starts with Mei Jinxing's life experience.

Beihuai is a brave country.It's just that under the oppression of the weird warlocks in Jingnan, the so-called battle myth can only be glimpsed in the history books.And Beihuai has no shortage of generals and soldiers, what they lack are warlocks and civil servants.Fortunately, although they can't have the magic skills like Jingnan, they have Si Kou Huairen.

Who is Si Kou Huairen?

He is a young prime minister.But the decision-making contributions he made made the people of Beihuai remember him, the monarch of Beihuai used him highly, and even Jingnan, who no longer took Beihuai seriously, knew him.

Si Kou Huairen reads a lot, and other people can do this, but he is still very smart, very, very smart.

Knowing that the weather in Beihuai is harsh, he led people to dig deep wells, and dug a surrounding underground canal outside the imperial city. The groundwater escaped the sun and wind and sand, irrigating the farmland here; at the same time, he wrote a letter, requesting the opening of trade with ethnic minorities and Jingnan Checkpoints, although Jingnan rejected the request for trade, but Beihuai's business has gradually picked up...

It's a pity that the prime minister who should have done more good things died very early.

died at the hands of his wife.

This woman who came from the depths of the desert, riding a camel and shaking the camel bell, touched Si Kou Huairen's heart with every frown and smile.So the prime minister married this woman of unknown origin - Li Rongrong.Unexpectedly, not long after she gave birth to a baby boy for Si Kouxiong, she killed her husband.

As soon as this incident happened, the government and the public were shocked, and they imprisoned the insane Li Rongrong, thinking of retrial tomorrow, but who knew that she committed suicide by biting her tongue that night, and the baby boy who was supposed to be at Si Kou's house disappeared.

For various reasons, this matter was kept under wraps for 15 years.

It wasn't until the new king took office and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter that he learned the truth of the incident that year. It was actually a Beihuai official who cooperated with Jingnan warlocks to control Li Rongrong to get rid of Si Kou Huairen.

The Beihuai monarch was furious and heartbroken, and executed all the officials involved, and at the same time ordered to find Si Kou Huairen and Li Rongrong's wandering children.

When the news came out, Si Kouxiong's father, Si Kou Huairen's elder brother, panicked.

Although he did not murder his younger brother, the disappearance of his nephew has something to do with him.Back then, it was him who asked the confinement wife to throw her infant nephew into the mountain.

Si Kou Huairen is dead, and the position of Patriarch is vacant. Only by getting rid of this child can he get this position.

After Si Kouxiong knew about this, he was also afraid that this surviving cousin would take everything from him, so he decided to act first.He rushed in front of the government, found 15-year-old Mei Jinxing, and threw him into a mountain pit, the bottom of which was full of entangled snakes.

Mei Jin was blessed with great fortune, and the snake didn't bite him, but just crawled around and entangled him.Mei Jinxing stayed below for three days and three nights, and since then she has developed a fear of snakes.On the fourth day he met a woodcutter, who rescued him.

Mei Jinxing hurried home, but saw thick fog covering the sky and flames spreading.

The Mei family is just an ordinary merchant's house. Due to Si Kouxiong's secret tricks, in just three days, the family's wealth has been wiped out, and the debts are heavy. In the end, the whole family, including the servants, maids, and housekeepers, was caught in a fire. More than [-] people, including them, were all buried in the sea of ​​flames.And who set the fire and how it started, no one can tell.

Mei Jinxing was left alone, and he rushed to Sikou's mansion in anger, and found that they had found the child they lost back then.

Who can tell the truth?

No one would have thought that Si Kou's family had an inner ghost.

Mei Jinxing fled in embarrassment under the pursuit of Si Kou's family.

There is too much bitterness and hatred in the world, Mei Jinxing tasted it, she was at a loss, tears flowed just like that.

I only hate myself, I can't do anything, I can't help anything, and then I hurt my closest relatives.

The sound of silk and bamboo is rotten with sadness.

When Mu Shaohe saw that Mei Jinxing's eyes were fixed but not fixed on any one place, Mu Shaohe knew that he was in a daze again.

After hooking his face, Mei Jinxing came back to her senses and smiled at him.

Mu Shaohe knew his life experience from him, and felt distressed, but he didn't say anything to comfort him, just said that he would come to pick up his sister together.

Words of comfort are a knife.

At this time, they were sitting under the high platform of drunken mortals, talking softly all around, the men who had not yet taken off their soldier uniforms were embracing left and right, with soft fragrance in their arms, and those calloused hands moved skillfully over their bodies , caress, rub.

Mei Jinxing forced herself not to pay attention to the movement around her, but when she thought of her sister being in exile, her heart ached uncontrollably, her face was ugly, and her palms were sweaty.

Mu Shaohe grabbed his hand under the table, put it in his palm, and rubbed it.

Seeing that the night was getting darker and the time for Miao Shengxiang's appearance was getting closer, Mei Jinxing became more and more nervous.He had never suffered from fear and joy, so he could only hold Mu Shaohe's hand tightly.

His actions were discovered by those who had been quietly observing them. During the dinner, someone joked that there were no girls at that table, so it turned out that he loved Mr. Rabbit, who liked to go through the back door.

The people at the table laughed.

Mu Shaohe picked up the cup and covered the corner of his mouth, his eyes darkened, and the blood dragon who had been entrenched in the dark felt his heart and crawled towards the people at the table.

The burly man who was gossiping suddenly felt a mosquito bite on his foot, shook his foot, then sank, foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, screaming in horror from all around, Zui Hongchen sent someone to carry him out , Here quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Mei Jinxing didn't care about this, Mu Shaohe picked a grape, peeled the skin carefully, and put it near Mei Jinxing's mouth: "Open your mouth."

When Mei Jinxing heard the words and opened her mouth, the round grapes rolled in, soft and sweet.Before he could swallow it, Mu Shaohe's second grape came again.

"I don't know if the grapes can make you fat right away," Mu Shaohe pretended to be distressed, "I'll let my sister meet later, and I'll make her younger brother thinner, what should I do if I don't let you marry me?"

Even though Mei Jinxing was used to Mu Shaohe's rascally words, she was shocked when she heard the marriage: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mu Shaohe gave another grape, and Mei Jinxing subconsciously opened her mouth again, her cheeks bulging.

"No nonsense, I know you like me." Mu Shaohe couldn't hold back, and went up to rub Mei Jinxing's face with his nose.

Mei Jinxing pushed away, not knowing whether she should be ashamed or annoyed: "Then don't do this in public."

Mu Shaohe suddenly realized: "Okay, after we pick up my sister, go to the inn..."

Before they could finish speaking, a voice drew their attention back.

"Miss Miao Shengxiang!" A man shouted.

A veil screen, behind which sat a beautiful woman, a familiar zither sound, bursts of waves, surrounded the surrounding, shaking Mei Jinxing's heart.

"Sheng Xiang Tiao! That's her composition." Mei Jinxing murmured, a trace of nostalgia welling up in her eyes.

The tune is melodious and melodious, making people feel like they are in a vast grassland, which is completely different from the previous melody.

When the song was over, Miao Shengxiang came to the front from the screen, and everyone shouted eagerly.

Mei Jinxing looked at Mei Xiangqing's familiar face, the burden of many days was finally unloaded, he happily grabbed Mu Shaohe's left arm, but saw Mu Shaohe frowned and looked at Mei Xiangqing with a solemn expression.
