0 Ghosts Hide from Jiang Sanmang 02br
00Mr.Yao’an? heard a story told by Mr. Run Sheng ,his great grandfather . In Jing City?there was a man called Jiang Sanmang,bold and simple-minded . 02br
02br
00One day, having heard that a man named Yu Dingbo had sold a ghost for money, Jiang said happily : “ What a pity that so far I got to know ghosts can be caught !However ,If I catch a ghost one night and spit it into a goat which can be sold on the market the next dawn, the money I get will be enough to be paid for my meat and wine a day. 02br
02br
00Then he began to hide in a graveyard every night with a stick and a rope, but his effort was in vain every time just like the hunter waiting for a suicide hare (Chinese idiom).However, he came to another place where ghosts were available as rumor always said. Jiang pretended to be drunk to seduce the ghost to appear, but again, he could see none of them at all. 02br
02br
00One night, having caught sight of phosphorescence through a few trees, Jiang ran desperately toward it, but which, disappeared when he arrived. Then he felt disappointed so much. He gave up as it lasted one month odd without any finding. 02br
02br
00Usually ghosts can frighten off(scare away) human beings because they take advantage of panic of human beings. However, Jiang always believed ghosts could be caught, which meant he was never scared of ghost subconsciously, so his boldness defeated ghosts who always hided from him. 02br
