Ghosts *Hide (you use past tense in the narrative) from Jiang Sanmang
Mr.Yao’an heard a story *from Mr. Run Sheng, his great grandfather. In Jing City?there was a man called Jiang Sanmang*; *he was bold and simple-minded (awkward).

One 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 *pay for my meat and wine *for a whole day.

Then 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 (you need an adj) hare (Chinese idiom). However, he *came (wording) to another place where ghosts were *rumored to be available. Jiang pretended to be drunk to *seduce *the ghost (awkward) to appear, but again, he could *not *find a single ghost at all.

One night, having caught sight of phosphorescence through a few trees, Jiang ran desperately toward it, but *it disappeared when he arrived. Then he felt *so disappointed much. He gave up as *one month *passed without *having caught anything.

Usually ghosts can frighten off(scare away) human beings because they *know how to exploit human fear (???) . However, Jiang always believed ghosts could be caught, which meant he was never scared of ghost subconsciously, so his boldness defeated *the ghosts who always *hided (part of speech. No such word as hided) from him.

You got the Chinese part right, but I'm not a teacher.
