Two Tales of Turmoil and Separation

仿清末石印本的线描:简陋整洁的屋里,戴软翅纱帽的中年小官跪在草席上,握着老妇的手,袖掩面痛哭;老妇坐在木床沿,一手搭着他的肩;左边穿旧短褂的老衙役举着双手,目瞪口呆,身旁有小桌、纸格窗和悬着的葫芦。

學師劉芳輝,京都人。有妹許聘戴生,出閤有日矣。值北兵入境,父兄恐細弱為累,謀妝送戴家。修飾未竟,亂兵紛入,父子分竄。女為牛彔俘去。從之數日,殊不少狎。夜則臥之別榻,飲食供奉甚殷。又掠一少年來,年與女相上下,儀采都雅。牛彔謂之曰:「我無子,將以汝繼統緒,肯否?」少年唯唯。又指女謂曰:「如肯,即以此為汝婦。」少年喜,願從所命。牛彔乃使同榻,浹洽甚樂。既而枕上各道姓氏,則少年即戴生也。

學師劉芳輝是京都人。他有個妹妹,已經許配給戴生,出嫁的日子也定下來了。恰逢北兵進入境內,父親和哥哥擔心她身子柔弱,逃難時會成為拖累,便商量著讓她梳妝好,先送到戴家。她還沒打扮完,亂兵就紛紛闖了進來,父子二人各自逃散,女子被牛錄俘虜了去。她跟著牛錄過了幾天,牛錄絲毫沒有輕薄她。夜裡讓她另睡一張床,吃喝也照顧得十分周到。後來,牛錄又擄來一個少年,年紀與女子差不多,容貌俊秀,舉止文雅。牛錄對他說:「我沒有兒子,想讓你繼承我的家業,你肯不肯?」少年連聲答應。牛錄又指著女子說:「你若肯,就把她給你做妻子。」少年很高興,願意聽從安排。牛錄便讓兩人同床,兩人相處得十分親密歡洽。後來,他們在枕邊互相說起姓名,才知道這少年就是戴生。

Liu Fanghui, a school instructor, was a native of the capital. He had a younger sister who was betrothed to a scholar named Dai, and the wedding day had been fixed. Just then the northern troops entered the region. Her father and brother feared the womenfolk would hold them back, so they planned to have her made up and sent off to the Dai family at once. Before she had finished making up, the marauding soldiers poured in, and father and son fled in different directions. The girl was carried off by a niru captain. She was with him for several days, and he never once took a liberty with her. At night he had her sleep on a separate bed, and he saw to her food and drink with great care. Then he seized a young man as well, about the girl’s age, handsome and refined in his bearing. The captain said to him, “I have no son. I mean to make you my heir. Will you agree?” The young man said yes, yes. The captain pointed at the girl and said, “If you agree, she will be your wife.” The young man was delighted and said he would do as he was told. So the captain put them in one bed, and they took to each other very happily. Afterwards, on the pillow, they told each other their names: the young man was Dai himself.
