It is about a young couple, Shih-t'un and Jade Blossom, and the Red Faced Ghost. This Ghost lives in a great Maple tree, and considers himself betrothed to any young woman who drinks from his stream.
"When the sun rose, the horses stopped by a well in the grass. Shih-t'un and Jade Blossom were astonished to see that its calm surface shone as red as a ruby. From it flowed a spring of clear crimson water, and around it grew a carpet of small red flowers, filling the air with a heavy scent.
Jade Blossom sighed in wonder and Shih-t'un lifted her off her horse, setting her down amidst the red flowers. "It is time to take a rest," he said.
For a while Jade Blossom watched the hungry horses crop the red flowers, then she walked to the well and stood looking down into the crystal-clear red water. She bent down, scooped up handfuls of water and drank her fill. The water tasted delicious and made her glow inside with a pleasant warmth; all weariness was forgotten.
Jade Blossom smiled at her husband, who marveled at the sudden glow turning her cheeks to peach blossoms. Just then one of the horses gave a cheerful whinny; Shih-t'un turned round and started in surprise. Instead of the skinny nags, now fiery horses were standing amidst the red flowers and briskly tossing their manes. Shih-t'un was seized by a shudder. He could see that Jade Blossom was just as alarmed. "I dont like this," he whispered. "We must leave here at once."
