The original text of the ancient prose "Damn"

Those who go drinking at night will be drowned by heavy rain. When I saw a man standing under the eaves, I threw an umbrella to walk with him. After a long time, if you don't talk, you will be suspected of being a ghost. With enough to provoke it, even if it is not worth it, it will become more and more afraid and tend to be pushed under the bridge. Cake makers get up in the morning, rush into their doors and tell them ghosts. A little later, I saw another person, soaking wet, stumbling, howling for ghosts, and rushing to his own house. They laughed at each other in surprise.

Translation:

A man came home late at night after dinner, just in time for the heavy rain, so he took an umbrella to keep out the rain. Seeing a man standing under the dripping eaves of a roadside house, the man ran over, got under his umbrella and left by himself.

After walking for a long time, the man didn't speak. He suspected it was a ghost, so he tried it with his foot. As a result, he just didn't step on it. He was even more afraid and forced the man to run off the bridge.

This is the time for the cake maker to get up early in the morning. He hurried to the door of the pastry shop and told everyone that he had met a ghost. After a while, I saw another man, soaked to the skin, stumbling and shouting "ghosts" and running into the cake master's house. Two people look at each other, dumbfounded, and then unconsciously burst out laughing.

Extended data

"Damn it" comes from An Overview of Ancient and Modern Tan.

On the Absolute of Ancient and Modern Times is based on the official history of past dynasties, and includes all kinds of unofficial history and notes. According to the content, it is divided into 36 categories, one volume and one category, most of which are true stories. After Feng Menglong sorted out the comments, they formed a ridiculous comic corridor. Li Yu prefaced the book, saying that "words are not enough, but it is still ancient history."

Liang Shouzhong wrote in "The Origin of the Three Examination Questions of the Top Scholar in Xin Wei" that "the fourth scholar (namely the top scholar in Xin Wei) is difficult to test Huang Rong's three examination questions, which comes from the ancient and modern laughter written by Feng Menglong, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty. The earliest extant is a 36-volume edition carved by Ye Kunchi in Nagato, Suzhou in Ming Dynasty.

This novel is concise, vivid and humorous, but it has far-reaching significance. Due to the lack of any response after publication, Wanli Gengshen (A.D. 1620) reprinted it in the spring, renamed it Laughter in Ancient and Modern Times, and added "The Fifth Man of Rhyme Society inscribed Xiao Lin Bi Hong" and "Self-narration" by Feng. The self-report is devoted to "Wu Xia's ci slave" and "the history of the previous week"
