There was a person somewhere in Shaanxi during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, very famous in the local area, it is said that she has yin and yang eyes, can see the ghosts of the world, this woman's surname is Zhao, the local people call her the odd person Zhao. There is a local family that has a good relationship with this Zhao family, and often invites the Zhao family to come to the house as a guest, and the Zhao family often talks to her about some strange things.
One day this Zhao clan came to this friend's house again, and Zhao Shi told her that she had encountered a strange thing, and then talked to her about hades. Zhao Shi said: "Yesterday I saw a ghost in the home of a person surnamed Li in their place, which can be said to be extremely stupid, but the situation is pitiful, and it also makes people moved.
This ghost's name is Li, he lives in a local village, his family is also well-off, Li died of illness, he was only twenty-seven years old when he died. Just a hundred days after his death, his wife asked me to accompany me, and I saw the ghost of Li Mou sitting under the lilac tree in the courtyard at their house. Sometimes he heard his wife's cries, sometimes he heard his son's cries, sometimes he heard the words and scoldings of his brother and sister-in-law and his wife, although the yang forced him to burn and could not get close, but he must have eavesdropped outside the window with his ears sideways, and his miserable face was extremely obvious.
Then he was surprised to see the matchmaker in his wife's room, so he became alert and opened his hands to look left and right. Later, when I heard that I was married, I was slightly happy. Later, the matchmaker went back and forth between his brother and sister-in-law and his wife, and he ran to follow, panicking as if he had lost something. On the day of the dowry, he sat under the tree, his eyes staring straight into his wife's room, tears flowing like rain. Since then, every time his wife comes in and out, he will follow her, and the affection will be even deeper. The night before the remarriage, his wife gathered up her dowry, and he wandered outside the eaves again, sometimes weeping against the pillar, sometimes bowing his head thoughtfully. As soon as he heard the slightest coughing sound in the room, he sneaked through the gap and walked back and forth all night.
After I saw these actions of his, I sighed and said, "Why should a fool be like this?", but he didn't seem to hear it. The man who was married came in and walked forward with a candle, and he stood in the corner of the wall, still looking up at his wife. I went out with Li's wife, and when I looked back, I saw that he had followed him far away to the home of the married relative, and was stopped by the door god, prostrating his head and pleading, so that he could come in. After coming in, he hid in the corner of the wall, watching his wife hold the wedding, and stood like a drunk. When his wife entered the room, he moved slightly closer to the window, just as he had when his wife had packed up her dowry. When he went to the room to extinguish the candle and sleep, he did not go, and was driven away by the house god, and then he came out.
At that time, because I was instructed by his wife to come back to visit this son of Li Mou, he also came back. He saw him go straight into his wife's room, and he looked at everything she did and slept with. Hearing his son crying as he searched for his mother, he ran out and surrounded him, holding his hands together and making a helpless appearance. A moment later, the sister-in-law came out and slapped his son, and he squatted down and patted his chest, gritting his teeth in the distance. I couldn't bear to see it, so I went straight home, not knowing what happened to him later. Later, I once secretly told this Li's wife, and after his wife listened, she gritted her teeth and was very remorseful.
When Zhao's friends heard her talk about this, they were greatly surprised and lamented that there were still such infatuated ghosts in the world.
