The man returned at night, but was pulled into the room by the maid, who said, "Look who I am."
In a remote ancient town, night falls and the wind is cold. The lights of the streets flicker, reflecting the mottled old buildings. The inhabitants of the ancient town have long since closed their doors, and only the occasional barking of dogs breaks the silence of the night.
Li Hao, a young scholar, was hurrying on his way home. He had just returned from the town's academy, still holding a thick stack of books in his hands. In the night, his figure seemed a little lonely, but there was a determined glint in his eyes.
Li Hao's home is located in the depths of the ancient town and is an ancient mansion. Although the house is old, it is full of traces of time and a warm atmosphere. Li Hao pushed open the door, and a gust of cold wind came to his face, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Strange, why is it so cold today?" Li Hao muttered to himself. He looked around and saw that the courtyard was empty, except for a few dead trees swaying in the wind.
Li Hao walked into the house and lit an oil lamp. The dim light reflected the furnishings in the house, and everything seemed so familiar and intimate. However, he always felt that something was wrong, as if something was different from usual.
Just then, a soft footstep came from outside the house. Li Hao's heart tightened, could it be that a thief sneaked in? He cautiously walked to the door, peering through the crack in the door.
I saw a woman dressed in a maid's costume standing outside the door, her figure looking a little blurry in the dim light. Li Hao wondered in his heart, he had never seen this maid before, could it be a newcomer?
"Childe, you're back." The maid's voice was soft and eerie, as if with a hint of chill.
Li Hao opened the door and saw the maid with her head down, her hands clasped together, and she seemed to be a little nervous.
"Are you a new maid? How come I've never seen you? Li Hao asked.
The maid raised her head, revealing a pale and unfamiliar face. Her eyes were hollow and deep, as if they were hiding endless secrets.
"Childe, don't you remember me? I'm your maid Xiaocui. There was a tremor in the maid's voice.
Li Hao was shocked in his heart, he carefully looked at this maid who called herself Xiaocui, but found that her appearance became more and more familiar, as if overlapping with someone in his memory.
"Xiao Cui? You...... How did you end up here? Li Hao's voice trembled a little.
The maid Xiaocui smiled slightly, and her smile revealed a hint of weirdness and mystery.
"Childe, you come with me, I'll take you somewhere." With that, she turned and walked back into the house.
Although Li Hao had many doubts in his heart, looking at Xiaocui's back, he couldn't help but follow.
The two of them walked through the long hallway to a remote room. The door to the room was shut, as if some ulterior secret was hidden.
"Childe, look here." Xiao Cui gently pushed the door open, revealing the scene inside the room.
Li Hao walked into the room and saw that the room was very strangely arranged, with strange paintings hanging on the walls and some ancient objects scattered on the ground. In the center of the room was a huge mirror, covered in a thick layer of dust.
"This is ......" Li Hao looked at everything in front of him in surprise, and he felt an inexplicable fear welling up in his heart.
"Childe, look at who I am." Xiao Cui's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and her face leaned closer to the mirror.
Li Hao turned his head, only to see Xiao Cui's face become distorted and weird in the mirror, as if he had become another person. He took a step back in horror, only to find that his hand was being held tightly by Cui.
"You...... Who are you? Li Hao's voice trembled slightly.
Xiao Cui smiled slightly, and her eyes revealed a strange light.
"Childe, do you really not remember me? I'm your wife. ”
Li Hao's heart was shocked, he carefully looked at the little cui in front of him, but found that her appearance was more and more like the deceased wife in his memory.
"This ...... How is this possible? Li Hao's voice carried a hint of disbelief.
Xiao Cui smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a deep and mysterious light.
"Childe, come with me, and I'll tell you everything." As she spoke, she took Li Hao's hand and walked towards the depths of the room.
With Xiao Cui's guidance, Li Hao gradually went deeper into this weird room. They pass through a mirror and come to a completely unfamiliar space. Everything here is so bizarre and mysterious, as if you are in a completely different world.
Xiao Cui led Li Hao through a long corridor and came to a door. She gently pushed the door open, revealing a warm and familiar room.
"This is ......" Li Hao looked at everything in front of him in surprise, and he felt a strong sense of intimacy welling up in his heart.
"This is our former home." There was a hint of nostalgia in Xiao Cui's voice.
Li Hao walked into the room and saw that the room was warmly and comfortably furnished, and everything was exactly the same as the home in his memory. He stroked those familiar objects, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart.
"You...... Are you really my wife? There was a tremor in Li Hao's voice.
Xiao Cui smiled and nodded, her eyes revealing a deep love.
"Yes, Childe, I am your wife. I've been waiting for you to come back, for you to remember me. ”
Li Hao hugged Xiaocui tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. He finally understood that it was all arranged by fate, and his wife appeared as a maid, just to awaken his dusty memories.
Xiaocui gently wiped away the tears on Li Hao's face, and said softly: "Childe, you have had too hard all these years, I have always wanted to return to you, but fate has made us miss it again and again." Now, we can finally be together. ”
Li Hao held Xiao Cui's hand tightly, and his eyes flashed with determination. He decided not to leave fate at his mercy, and together with his wife, he bravely faced the challenges ahead.
However, this eerie space doesn't seem willing to let them go easily. As they went deeper and deeper into the space, the scene around them began to grow more and more eerie. Flickering lights, floating ghosts, eerie laughter...... Everything feels creepy.
Li Hao and Xiaocui held hands and walked forward cautiously. They know that only by bravely facing these strange things can they find their way home.
After some difficult exploration, they finally found an exit to reality. However, just as they were about to leave this space, a terrifying voice suddenly sounded: "Do you think you can leave easily?" This is my territory! ”
As the voice fell, a ghostly ghost appeared in front of them. It stretched out its claws and lunged at the two of them.
Li Hao and Xiaocui retreated in horror, but they didn't give up. They knew that only by uniting together could they defeat this terrible specter.
Li Hao held the book in his hand tightly, this was his weapon and his belief. He threw himself at the ghost, and the book turned into a ray of light that struck the ghost.
Xiaocui used her love and courage to provide strong support for Li Hao. She chanted an ancient incantation softly to fend off the ghost's attacks for Li Hao.
After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the ghost. The ghosts dissipated into the air in a puff of green smoke, and they managed to return to reality.
Li Hao and Xiaocui, who returned to reality, cherished each other's existence even more. They decided to face the challenges of the future together and create a happy life that belongs to them together.
Since then, there has been no strange sound at night in the ancient town. In the courtyard of Li Hao's house, there are often laughter and laughter, which is a testimony of Li Hao and Xiaocui's happy life.
Li Hao and Xiaocui's happy life did not last long, and a series of strange events occurred in the ancient town. First, the people of the town began to disappear for no apparent reason, and then at night there were often mournful cries and strange laughter in the ancient town, as if some evil force was quietly awakening.
Li Hao knew that all of this was related to the strange space they had experienced before. He is determined to find out the truth and protect the peace of the ancient town. So, he began to study the old books, hoping to find a way to fight the forces of evil.
However, as the investigation deepened, Li Hao found that things were far more complicated than he imagined. It turned out that the strange space was a sealed ghost domain, and the ghosts and evil spirits in it were able to escape for some reason and began to haunt the ancient town.
In order to completely seal this ghost domain, Li Hao and Xiao Cui decided to enter that strange space again. With courage and faith, they embarked on this journey full of unknowns and dangers.
In the ghost realm, they encounter all kinds of terrifying creatures and traps. But no matter how great the difficulties are, they all rely on each other tightly and face them together. Their love and faith have become each other's most solid backing.
After a lot of hard fighting and searching, they finally found the source of the ghost realm, an ancient monster that had been sealed. This monster has great power, it wants to devour all life and rule the whole world.
Li Hao and Xiao Cui decide to join forces to fight this monster. They used their wisdom and courage to start a thrilling battle against the monsters. In the end, with the joint efforts of the two, the monster was successfully sealed, and the evil spirits of the ghost domain were imprisoned again.
The ancient town has regained its former tranquility and serenity. Li Hao and Xiaocui also returned to their home and continued to live an ordinary and happy life. They know that with love and faith in their hearts, they can overcome all difficulties and challenges.
This folk tale teaches us that the power of love and faith is endless. As long as we have love and faith in our hearts, we can overcome all difficulties and challenges. At the same time, it also reminds us to cherish the people and things around us, and not to regret it until we lose it.
The night in the ancient town has once again returned to tranquility, and the love story of Li Hao and Xiaocui has also become a good story in people's mouths. Their courage and wisdom have become legends of the ancient town, inspiring future generations to move forward bravely and pursue happiness.
