I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Chapter 56 Miscellaneous News
After the first three chapters were written, Song Yushan reviewed and polished them again, and took the manuscript to Guanshan that night.

"Tanhualang's substitute ghost wife?" Lu Junlan's voice became weaker and weaker.

Finally, he asked a little shyly, "Sister Yushan, is this name too...too vulgar?"

Song Yushan didn't answer and asked instead: "Then sister saw the name, do you have the desire to read it?"

Lu Junlan thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

She already knew that this was a story about a ghost falling in love with a person, but the term "ghost wife" was very novel, as if it was not just a love story, and people couldn't help but get a glimpse of it.

Song Yushan smiled, as expected no one could resist such a name:
"Various is elegant. This is a storybook. As long as the title of the book can arouse people's desire to read the book, it is a successful title. It doesn't need to be so formal."

"Sister Junlan, I'll show you something good!" Song Yushan unfolded the scroll in his hand again.

Lu Junlan took a look and saw that the paper was twice the size of a normal book, and on it was written four large Chinese characters: "Miscellaneous News of the Yin World".

Without waiting for Lu Junlan to ask, Song Yushan explained to her.

"This 'Miscellaneous Newspaper' is similar to the government's mansion newspaper, but it is specially run for the ghosts of the underworld. It is published once a month and is divided into different columns, and different columns publish different content.

There are currently three columns, the first one is Story Club, which is specially used to publish stories from the storybook, and my storybook stories will be published here; the second column is called Ghost Story Records, which is used to publish some current events in the underworld; There is a column called Helping Ghosts, where ghosts who encounter difficulties can seek help. "

Song Yushan pointed to the three pages on the paper and introduced them to her one by one. Only the column of "Story Meeting" contained content, which was written in the first three chapters of her script, and the remaining two columns were blank.

"I've never heard of such a book. My sister's ingenuity is really admirable!" Lu Junlan felt very novel. A monthly publication means that there will be new content to read every month. The "story book", which is updated frequently, seems to be getting better.

Her eyes fell on the column of the story club.

At the beginning of the story, there was the lively scene on the Lantern Festival Street in Shangyuan. Lu Junlan was fascinated by watching it, as if she was there, thousands of lights, and the noise of the city were all in front of her eyes.

Just this paragraph of text, she couldn't help reading it over and over again: "Sister Yushan, what kind of writing is this? The truth is amazing!"

She has read so many story books, including quite a few about the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, but none of them can shock her as much as this passage.

Even people who have never participated in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival can still paint a picture of the grand scene of Shangyuan in their minds through this text.

"It's like we talk in ordinary times. Telling stories in the way of speaking is easy to understand and more visual." Song Yushan said.

Lu Junlan just nodded without answering, her mind was already attracted by the following story.

The street scene of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival depicted at the beginning extends all the way to the pear tree at the street corner, and under the empty plum tree, a woman suddenly appears out of thin air.

The woman was wearing jingle bells and was dressed gorgeously. She was dressed like a lady of a big family, and she was accompanied by a maid who was as white as paper.

"I don't know what the Jufulou lanterns will look like this year?"

It turns out that this woman is a 100-year-old female ghost named Shi Yanxia.

Her favorite is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the world. Every year at this time, she would go down the mountain to guess lantern riddles and win lanterns. However, her talents are not good, and nine times out of ten she will fail, just to join in the fun.

The more Lu Junlan looked at it, the more absorbed she was, as if she was that Shi Yanxia, ​​playing at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

Seeing a beautiful rabbit lamp, she was happy to see Lie Xin, looking at the crossword puzzle hanging under the lamp and pondering over it. At this time, there was a handsome young man who was the first to guess the crossword riddle and took away her favorite rabbit lamp. When she was disappointed, The boy handed her the rabbit lamp.

For a while, the lights of Shangyuan were no match for the shining eyes of the young man.

The cock crowed, and dawn was approaching. She left in a hurry, dropping an embroidered handkerchief in a hurry.

The young man picked up the embroidered handkerchief and looked for her everywhere, but to no avail.

The embroidered handkerchief is her personal burial object. It has been nourished by ghost power for many years and has long been connected with her breath.

The young man took the embroidered handkerchief and looked for her everywhere, telling her his feelings. All the female ghosts in the yin house knew that they loved the young man in their hearts, but because of the body of a ghost, they hesitated.

It wasn't until the young man was saddened by this and caught the wind and cold that she finally couldn't bear to go to him.

The story came to an abrupt end here, and Lu Junlan suddenly came to her senses, reading the newspaper over and over again, unable to believe that it was gone.

The encounter between the young man and the female ghost is so beautiful, and the relationship is so sincere. If the female ghost goes to him, will he be afraid?

This story really doesn't look like a storybook. After reading it, I just feel like she met and fell in love with Fu Lang together with the heroine Shi Yanxia, ​​and then separated.

Song Yushan told her that this was just the first three episodes, and the following stories would be published in the next issue of the newspaper.

Lu Junlan couldn't help asking her about the story behind: "Will Fu Lang be afraid of Shi Yanxia?"

Song Yushan shook his head, and Lu Junlan was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard her say, "This is a secret, don't tell it!"

Spoilers are impossible.

Lu Junlan: "..."

"I want to run a bookstore in the Yinshi and publish written publications in the Yinshi. Would my sister be willing to work in the Yinshi branch of my Song Family Bookstore? This way, I can read the sequel of the story faster than outsiders!" Song Yushan said.

"Me?" Lu Junlan was a little surprised, but then shook her head again: "Although I am willing to do something, but I didn't even learn how to take care of the middle school when I was alive. Do this job?"

"Sister, don't worry. Although she wants to open a bookstore, the first newspaper still needs a lot of preparation before it can be officially released. Everything is in its infancy. My sister can just learn from scratch and grow up with the bookstore. My sister is familiar with a ghost, and the ghosts of my father, mother and grandmother have disappeared.”

Song Yushan lowered his head while speaking.

Lu Junlan was reminded when she heard the words, and quickly said: "The matter you asked me to inquire about earlier has some clues. It is said that at midnight on August [-]th the year before last, there was a sound of gongs and drums. After that day, the Yin Mansion of the Song Mansion disappeared, and the ghosts of my aunt and the others also disappeared from that day. There are rumors in the underworld that it was my uncle who became the city god and his relatives, and the whole family went to work. The place seems to be called..."

"Qu Xia."

Song Yushan felt at ease, the ghosts of her ancestors were nowhere to be seen, and she was always worried about something unexpected.

If it is related to the father, there is no need to worry.

"It's Qu Xia!" Lu Junlan said, "How did my sister find out?"
